"Why have you been acting funny towards me Uncle Peter? You've been ignoring me. What did I do wrong?"
My niece had trapped me in the kitchen and was looking at me with a sad expression, although it was hard to tell if she was just teasing. I glanced at my wife sitting at the breakfast bar but she seemed to be preoccupied with a magazine. Thank god for small mercies.
"I haven't been ignoring you Georgie. I've just been busy with some work stuff," I told her, hoping that she'd drop it. My wife looked up.
"What work stuff? You're talking rubbish Peter. It's obvious you've been avoiding the girl. What's going on?"
Claire had a scarily acute ability to read me after more than twenty years of marriage (when she paid me any attention that is) and this turn of events worried me. I could hardly just come out and say I was feeling guilty for taking advantage of my 18 year old niece, spanking her bottom and then performing cunnilingus on her until we both had an orgasm. I swallowed, felt my face go hot. I no doubt looked as guilty as hell.
Claires eyebrow arched.
"He's probably feeling guilty about what he did to me the other morning Auntie," piped up Georgie. I swallowed again. She could end my marriage and ruin my life right now. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Claire's stare got a great deal sharper.
"Oh?" she said quietly. My insides turned to jelly.
"I slept in too long and he told me off. It's ok uncle, don't feel bad. You were a little harsh but I know I deserved it. I have to learn and I don't mind you teaching me. I just hope you'll do the same again if I need it."
The double meaning hung in the air but it seemed to allay my wife's suspicions at least a little. She looked at me again and then went back to her magazine. I hadn't seen Julie, my mother-in-law, watching from the doorway so I was startled when she spoke up. "You be good to that girl Peter. She's only young. Be careful with her."
I busied myself with pancakes, cursing myself for putting myself in this position, vowing again, as I had each day since that terrible betrayal of my young nieces trust, to keep my pervert hands off her. It was for both of our good.
I managed to avoid too much contact for the rest of the day, keeping my distance and declining any invitations to play with the kids that would put us into close physical contact. I was feeling good about my resolve, until Georgie cornered me again, this time when I was doing some laundry.
"Looking for these?" she asked, holding up a pair of her own panties.
"What?" I croaked. "What do you..."
"Oh come on uncle, I know you've been in my knickers before. I found a pair on the floor, you must have gone through my laundry basket."
I started to deny it, even as my mind went back to that day I had found her used knickers in here, come within an inch of holding them to my nose while I masturbated and shot my load into the gusset.
She moved closer and brought the pair she was holding up to my face.
"Can you smell me on them? They're still warm." She had clearly just taken them off, reaching under her skirt to remove them.
