I'm currently working on a few huge projects so am not online much or tinkering with ideas, but the other stories will be gotten back to when time and inspiration hit.

"Hello cousin," Joey said, beaming as he usually did when we saw each other.
My college report had been so bad, my summer punishment had me stuck with the family dork, Joey, my step cousin. The twenty-six-year-old accountant was a bore who offered my parents to help me get my grades up so I might land a high-paying job like him instead of my party life.
He already had a long list of expectations they warned me of before I got to his large lakefront home. One of his chores included studying the books of the classes I failed. Luckily, I knew early enough to have a bit of fun at the local bookstore.
"Step cousin," I muttered, teasing him with indifference.
"Did you bring your books down?" he asked, waiting at the table with a nerdy book with numbers in front of him.
"They're beside the couch. Go get them, please?" I bit my lower lip in a small flirtation before I walked out onto his deck.
The pushover easily left to retrieve them and, when he returned, his beet red face had me bent over the counter laughing. Yes, I found perfect books on things no proper man like him would ever consider.
"Advanced Sex Ed is a very challenging class," I mused. "As is erotic art and shibari. My study partner and I usually got carried away and didn't study the material properly." I shrugged. "College is just too demanding."
Joey's throat bobbed. "I uh...see." He scanned me in my thin, tight camisole and short sleep shorts, eyes locking on my pebbled nipples.
The bashful step cousin of mine had an interesting look to him. A sort of sexiness to his long face that never looked good at first glance but grew on you. The proper part on the right side he'd had since we were young. However, now, he had a natural tone to his slender body, but he always wore long pants and sleevesβ-βeven to a Fourth of July party, a suit on the party barge.
So much fun.
"What..." He cleared his throat, eyes not meeting mine as he search my face. "What exactly did you struggle with, Mary?"
"Orgasms, bondage, different forms of consent," I pouted. "But I'm a bit exhausted after the long drive. Can you look them over while I rest then explain it to me later?"
He licked his lips. "Of course, I'll be reviewing these books to see what I can help you with."
I doubted he could speak about the subjects. We all knew he was too shy and awkward to have ever even gone on a date. Maybe he could learn a few things from me.

I was on his lakefront deck the next morning watching swimmers on the sandy beach when strong arms captured me from behind. My guess was Joey must have gone over the consent section first. It definitely wasn't a hug.
Unfortunately, no one at the beach watched the railing he pushed me against. I loved when people watched.
