When I finally stumbled home it was almost 4:00am. The birds were chirping loudly and the sun was beginning to rise beneath a bruised and cloudy sky. The aching muscles of my legs nearly gave out as I stealthily crept through my house, ever fearful of waking my stepmother as I struggled to make it to my bed. I didn't mind her really. She was a total bitch to almost everyone but mostly she left me alone. She was very striking in appearance with severe cheekbones and a pointed nose. Her dark hair was now streaked with grey and yet she had a youthful aura. She had aged very well and her body was in excellent shape from what I could tell but she was very self-conscious about her figure and hid it with bulky and unflattering clothes.
After my father died 3 years ago we developed a silent relationship. Without any words spoken between us we had comforted each other, consoled each other, and then settled into a relationship of muted distance. I had often wondered what she would have been like in her youth. A cheerleader most likely, with a knockout body and nasty streak that must have scared most of the boys in her school. Except for the one that had got her pregnant. Perhaps that was why she was so bitter. A high school beauty forced to give up her popularity and adolescence to raise a baby girl. It would explain why she seemed almost sad sometimes.
Her daughter was a stark contrast to her cold and analytical demeanor. Kaitlyn was warm, friendly and exuberant. She was slender like her mother with the same rich glossy hair but the similarities ended there. Kaitlyn was the life of the party. Actually she was the center of the party to be more precise. She was wild and impulsive which was the source of most of their disagreements. Her mother was I'm sure, worried about Kaitlyn ending up in the same predicament that she herself had been in at almost the same age. But I don't think Kaitlyn was quite so reckless as to have unprotected sex and in some ways she was much more responsible and mature than her mother gave her credit for. Of course, I was never asked for nor offered my thoughts on the subject by either one of them. My relationship with Kaitlyn had always been one of mutual respect and non-interference. We had done a pretty good job of staying out of each other's way and rarely fought at all. I kind of liked her really and after having caught glimpses of her naked thighs and ass on rare occasions I had developed an appreciation for her beauty.
I crept through he house as quietly as possible and was just slipping into my bedroom doorway when I sensed her behind me. Before she touched my arm I knew she was going to.
"Aren't you a little late getting home tonight?" she asked in a mocking tone.
"Shh...you'll wake her up." I tried to sound as stern as possible but she didn't flinch.
"Relax. She's out at a friend's house. She won't be back till tomorrow afternoon."
"Oh. What are you doing up so late then?" I didn't really have to ask. I knew why she was just going to bed at 4:00 in the morning. It was Friday night and my stepsister had a reputation as a party girl. Even though she was just a freshman at college, she could drink like a pro and party with the best of them. I don't think she really had a steady boyfriend but I could just tell by the way she dressed and acted that she was a tease and a flirt and if she wanted one she could probably get one in a second.
She was very pretty. Her almond-shaped eyes were a rich brown with flecks of gold and her long chestnut hair was thick and soft. She was almost too thin but her muscular legs were sleek and added just the right amount of curves to make her perfectly proportioned body glide gracefully and magically when she sauntered down the hall.
We'd had our usual share of disagreements but mostly we left each other alone. Until now that is. I could sense her playful mood. I could barely keep my eyes open but something was drawing me towards her. She wanted to talk to me for some reason. All I wanted to do was sleep but before I could even think about it I was following her to the kitchen.
"Come on." She pulled me behind her. "I'll make you a special drink." I smiled knowing what that meant. As I trailed behind her I found myself mesmerized by the shape of her ass, barely covered by the hockey jersey she wore. It was way too big for her but she looked so sexy in it I found myself wondering what she would be like in bed.
I crumpled into one the chairs, barely conscious, while she flitted about mixing our drinks.
"I take it you've made some new friends?" she asked sweetly.
"Yeah. I made a couple friends." I rested my weary head on my arms,
"Girl friends are they?" she arched her brow at me and I knew she was trying to get at something. But I was too tired to even think.
"Maybe. Why?" I asked suspiciously. She suddenly darted over to me and whispered in my ear.
"You smell like sex." Then she giggled loudly and went back to making the drinks. I felt a little embarrassed and even blushed a little.
"Ok...I'm busted." I grinned and she gave me a conspiratorial wink. I concentrated on her for a second and all her feelings and desires became clear. It was getting easier to read women. The witches brew had given me powerful abilities of empathy and mind control. I could sense emotion and desire and even some thoughts, although not as precisely. I could force their bodies to act, feel and respond just as I intended, but most remarkably, it seemed that I could improve upon these skills with practice.
I probed her thoughts with my aching mind and I could see that she desperately wanted to be in a relationship but there was something holding her back. She longed for a deep intimacy but something was stopping her from pursuing one. It was very confusing in my muddled state. Her state of arousal and excitement, stemming from an emotional evening made it difficult to understand her feelings I could sense that I wasn't the only one that had sex that night and even after she was showered and smelling clean, there was a lingering wetness between her thighs. She was still energetic and in a very playful mood. She put my drink down if front of me and hopped onto my lap. She wrapped one arm around my neck and took a swig of her beverage.
