It was a regular day in many ways, skies were grey and people were millin' around as usual. I was on my way to visit my sister for no particular reason other than to break the tedium of having nothing to do on a Wednesday morning. I knocked on her door, but it seemed nobody was home. I was set to depart when my niece, Debbie, opened the window from the front bedroom and shouted down to me. Debbie was home alone, her father at work and her mother off visiting her in-laws with Debbie's two younger sisters. Debbie was eighteen, and my sister's oldest daughter, ten years my junior and my favourite niece. I had always got on well with her, and she was only too happy to invite me in, even though I'd disturbed her day off from college.
She answered the door wearing a dressing gown and a towel around her head and greeted me with her familiar beaming smile. She invited me in and we embraced. As I kissed her on the cheek, she apologised for still being a little damp as she'd just stepped out of the shower to answer the door, I told her I didn't mind, and we made our way to the living room for a little chat.
We talked but never really said anything. As we talked, I sensed that there was an undercurrent of something else happening between us, a kind of chemistry that hadn't been there before. She sat opposite me in her bare feet and her peach dressing gown, from which she revealed enough of her legs for my eyes to wonder towards her thighs. She caught my glances on occasion, but they were always met with restrained approval rather than distain.
For the first time, I'd noticed she was a woman. Her big brown eyes had the look of mischief, her lips were full and ready and her skin looked soft and silky. She held the top of her dressing gown together as she leaned forward in her armchair to scratch an itch on the sole of her foot.
She looked into my eyes as her hand drifted slowly up her leg, her fingers fondling the inside of the top of her glistening thigh as we made irreverent idle chit-chat to divert ourselves away from what was really happening. I kept on thinking how wrong this was, how dangerous this was, how devastating the consequences could be. Here I was, sexually aroused by my teenage niece, this was so wrong! Yet, I couldn't help but be turned on by her.
There was a lull in the conversation, and we both sat and stared at each other. She playfully stroked the top of her dressing gown, and stroked the back of her calf with her foot, slyly smiling at me as she did so. I sat nervously as I observed her surreptitious performance, trying in vain to hide the bulge in my blue jeans. I wasn't sure if she was toying with me to get a reaction, or simply enjoying being sexual, flirting with me because she enjoyed this new reaction she was getting from men. All the while I repeated to myself that she was my niece, and I had to be very careful in handling this.
This was SO wrong!
A telephone rang, shaking me from my thoughts. It was Debbie's mobile phone which was in her bedroom. She jumped, startled as it rang, and quickly ran upstairs to answer it, clutching her gown as she dashed. I sighed with relief as she left.
I had time to gather my thoughts, compose myself and I was making plans for a quick getaway, when Debbie shouted me from her room. "Come upstairs Uncle John, I have something to show you!", she said provocatively.
My heart skipped a beat upon hearing her words. My legs froze were I sat and a million thoughts raced through my mind. I was so conflicted; anguished, worried, fearful, yet curious, aroused. I was half wanting to run upstairs and fuck her there and then, and I hated what I was thinking. It would have really helped me out if my sister had got home around about that, but no such luck.
Cautiously, I went upstairs and into her bedroom. She was sat on her bed, still in her dressing gown, with an opened photo album sat besides her. She was drying her hair, running her fingers through her long brown locks. She smelled so fresh and clean and nice, the aroma of her perfumed shampoo filling the room.
She looked up excitedly as she noticed I had entered her room. She told me to sit down and look at some of the pictures of her from her recent holiday whilst she dried her hair. She winked at me as I sat on the chair opposite her, then continued to dry her hair as I flicked through the pictures, not really paying attention to any of them.
I looked at them vacantly, intensely as I tried not to watch her. I glanced at her a couple of times, she stared right back at me and smiled. I was so nervous; I really had no idea what to do next. I half concocted a plan to leave, just get out of their and get my composure back, go home and start the day over, but I was paralysed.
