Chapter 3 - Mother's Best Friend
This story and the others like it in the series reflect a certain type of fantasy that is largely male oriented. I'm a male and I am writing what is titillating and sexual to me. The characters aren't meant to reflect reality, neither in the way they act or their attitudes towards each other. The subject matter does not reflect how I think real people act or how real people think. It may be that people do act and think this way, but I am neither condoning this behavior nor intentionally encouraging it. I'm simply telling stories about fictional people that I find stimulating. None of the characters are meant to reflect, or act as proxies for, actual people in reality. Finally, all the people in these stories are Adults (over the age of 18 years old), in case I forget to explicitly state that in the stories themselves. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy.

Angela was just finishing up her breakfast when she heard the doorbell ring. Anthony was right on time. She had been visiting her best friend Barbara, his mother, the day before and had been complaining about her husband being on a month long business trip and how different chores, only he was capable of doing, were piling up. Anthony's mother quickly volunteered Anthony's services and he cheerfully had agreed to come over the next day.
Now that he had actually arrived, she felt a tinge of nervousness. It's not that she didn't trust him or thought he would do something wrong, it was just her instinct to worry when she was alone for so long. She had considered getting a gun or a dog to make her feel safer in general but never had gotten around to it.
This was her best friend's son though and she had nothing to worry about. Though, when she thought of how he had grown up, he was far from a boy anymore. He was all man and she tingled just a tiny bit and instantly felt guilty thinking about just how much of a man he had become. She chastised herself for even thinking about Anthony that way, he was half her age, not to mention she had known him from birth and had spent so much time with his family that he was practically her own son.
She moved to the foyer, checked the peep hole and saw that it was, indeed, Anthony. She opened the door and had to fight the tingle again. Anthony stood there dressed for a hot day of work. He had a thin white form-fitting tank top, ragged with age, and tight running shorts. Muscles seemed to pop out at her from everywhere and she realized an uncomfortable pause had developed as she sized him up.
"Umm...uh...Hi, Anthony! Thanks for coming over, I appreciate this so much." She looked at his handsome face and he seemed to have a knowing smirk that caused her to blush briefly and diverted her eyes to the floor. "Well, come in and I'll get you started."
As they walked down the hallway to the back of the house she chided herself for not changing before he came over. She was feeling very self-conscious over her terry cloth ultra-short shorts that she had thrown on to help beat the heat. She was sure that the bottom of her butt was clear to his view as she walked. It was not that she had anything to be embarrassed about in how it looked. Quite the contrary, her ass was one of her best traits. It was just that she didn't want Anthony to think less of her being dressed so un-ladylike.
She glanced over her shoulder and was mortified to see that it was exactly where he was looking. She reached back and unsuccessfully tried to pull her shorts over her cheeks. She had to be careful because if she pulled them down too far then the top would come down and show off the "whale-tail" of her thong which would be even worse. In the end she didn't do much but draw even more attention to her skimpy clothing.
When they got to the kitchen she picked up the list she had made of things she needed done so she could go over them with him. They both stood at the kitchen counter and she bent over, resting an elbow on the counter and started to read the list aloud. When she looked over to him she noticed he was staring down at her chest and when she followed his gaze she saw the angle she was at was giving him a very revealing view of the inside of her loose fitting blouse. Her braless breasts swung a bit from her turning her head and she quickly stood up and brought the list closer to her face so she didn't have to bend over. She started blushing heavily.
"So, if you wouldn't mind, there is quite a bit of yard work on here and there are some heavy things that need to be moved around so we can get the new entertainment center into the living room. Do you have any preference to where you'd like to start? Did I mention how much I appreciate this?"
"It really is no problem, so don't worry about it. I guess I'll start in the yard before it gets too hot, that way I can be in here in the AC when it really starts roasting out there," Anthony said cheerfully, his face still plastered with a big grin, presumably from the cleavage shot he had gotten. Angela quickly looked back at the list to avoid his eyes.

Angela couldn't help but watch from the living room windows as Anthony mowed the front lawn. After she had shown him where all the lawn tools were, she had putzed around the house doing odd chores, but found herself time and again looking out the closest window at what Anthony was doing. Now she had given up any pretext and was just openly watching him.
She was mesmerized by how his large frame moved and his big muscles bunched and flexed as he worked. The heat was on its way up and his shirt was already soaked with sweat and his skin shown with perspiration. The tingle she had felt earlier was back in full force and again she was embarrassed with herself at how inappropriate she was being.
The truth was, her husband had been gone for three weeks now and she was feeling the horniness intensely. That's not even mentioning that even when he was in town, he wasn't much of a lover. She was usually able to eventually finish what he started and she kept herself mostly satisfied. Staring at Anthony, such a perfect example of masculinity, was causing her to not think clearly. Her needs and his appearance where conspiring to make her irrational. She had to fight to remind herself that this
boy
was her oldest friend's son and her naughty thoughts about him were perverted and inappropriate regardless of him being of age.
Even though Angela had even been a beautiful woman in her high school and college days and considered to have an amazingly body, she never had the self-esteem to really end up with one of the "popular" boys and had, even she had to admit, settled for her husband Bill. She felt guilty when she thought of him that way. He was a wonderful provider, even if he was a bit controlling, it was just that when she saw someone like Anthony she couldn't help how turned on she got. Especially with how lackluster her married love life was.
Of course she wouldn't cheat on Bill in a million years and couldn't even dream of even walking up to a stranger that looked like Anthony to even start a conversation, even if she still looked better that than ninety percent of the women her age. She tended to avoid situations where such interactions could even occur, since as she got older she became more aware of how men really appreciated her looks. Having Anthony so close and practically in her home was very disconcerting and confusing. The way he made her feel when he looked at her made her light headed.
Angela was drawn from her reverie as Anthony got close to the window. The heat must have really started getting to him as he stopped the mower and peeled off his tank top. Angela gasped and lifted her hand to her mouth as his chest and abs were revealed. She could feel herself getting wet and her pulse began to race.
Images of different scenes of Anthony taking her flashed quickly through her mind and she knew she had to get control of herself soon. Maybe, just maybe, if she went upstairs and relieved herself with her trusty little helper she could get Anthony off of her mind and she wouldn't be feeling so bad about her husband being away and her acting so foolishly.
It suddenly occurred to her that she was being rude and should offer some refreshments to Anthony, especially on such a hot day and he was working so hard. She went to the kitchen to make some ice cold lemonade, thankful for at least some distraction. She would go "fix" her problem right after she made sure he was properly refreshed.

Anthony saw Angela waving to him from the front door and he shut down the lawn mower in order to hear her.
"Sorry to interrupt! Just thought you'd might like to take a break and have some lemonade in here while enjoying some air conditioning," she yelled to him.
"Sure thing, I'll be right in." He walked over to his shirt and bent to pick it up, but then remembered how Angela had checked him out at the door and how he had noticed her watching him from the windows and decided to see how she would react if he just came in shirtless. She had stepped into the house at this point, so he went over and walked through the front door. She was waiting for him in the kitchen and he saw how, as soon as she saw him walk into the room in only his shorts and shoes, she blushed and looked down at the floor.
"Ummm... here you go," she busied herself pouring him a large glass of lemonade, the ice cubes tinkled as they spilled into the glass. He walked over to stand close to her and take the drink. She made a series of furtive glances at his upper body, still slick with the sweat of work and stepped back from him, bouncing against the edge of the counter.
