I'd had the hots for one of my first cousins for years. Through college I had dates now and then, but in the off times images of my cousin Lindy were more than adequate to get the job done.
Lindy is a few years older than me, and her family lives a couple of hours away from us. She went off to college two states away and I went several years not seeing her, but that never stopped the thoughts. She was one of the prettiest girls I'd ever known, and by the time she was out of high school she had a killer body to go along with a knock-out face. See also has this little sexy grin she can fire at you in an instant, and she'd gotten into the habit of doing just that to me. That suited me just fine, even if it did frustrate the devil out of me, especially when she started referring to me as her "kissing cousin" which was a mystery to me since we'd never kissed. I think she knew the affect she had on me, enjoying the blush she brought to my face, and no doubt noticing the hard on I got whenever she'd make a comment or wear that tiny bikini.
Lindy got married right out of college but I missed the wedding, still in exams and all. They moved away and I didn't see her again for over a dozen years. By then Lindy had a daughter and we met at a family reunion. The years had only made her more beautiful and desirable in my eyes. Her figure always had been very nice, but a few pounds in the most advantageous and strategic spots only made her even more alluring. It was all I could do to keep from staring at her, and I ran the risk of my wife catching me.
Another dozen years or so later I attended the marriage of her daughter, followed shortly by the death of her father, my uncle, and I disguised my solitary attendance with the story of my wife having to work at those times. The fact is, we had been separated for some while and she was happily living with another man by then, with my blessings.
That was two years ago and I'd settled down into a new job, working for myself, and was totally wrapped up in settling in the little farmhouse I'd bought and just moved into when I got an email one Sunday afternoon. At first I didn't recognize the email address, but was instantly blown away when I realized who it was. She had never written, email or regular mail, ever before. She wrote to see if my wife and I might be open to a visit the following weekend. She explained that she would be in our area on business and wanted to stop in. Obviously I immediately replied that she would be welcome, that it would be great to see her, and gave her the address. I never mentioned that I was living alone. Since she had signed her email as "your kissing cousin," I ended my reply by saying I was looking forward to that hug and kiss when she got here.
Late in the afternoon of the next Friday I got a phone call, from Lindy. When I saw the number I assumed she was calling to cancel the visit or that she'd lost the directions to my place. After all, it isn't exactly easy to find. Town, what there is, is a remote mountain village and I live a couple of miles out of town then off the highway down a long, winding private drive. You can't even see the farmhouse or barns from the highway, so for visitors it's common that they have a hard time finding the place the first time coming here.
When I answered I knew something was wrong just by the reaction on the phone. Lindy was quiet at first, not bursting over the phone with her usual energy. She paused when she answered, and was quiet, subdued when she spoke. I could tell she was upset at something right off. She told me she was in the village but that her mind was so full of things at the moment that she just wanted me to come get her and let her follow me to my place. No problem.
