I took a trip the summer after my eighteenth birthday out to the west coast to visit my Aunt Mary and two of my cousins, Alyssa and James. They were nearly the same age as me. Alyssa had just turned nineteen and James was seventeen.
My aunt has a forty acre ranch that she uses to train horses for barrel racing and other equestrian events. My cousin Alyssa is a proficient rider and rodeo buff, excelling in barrel racing.
I decided to fly out to visit them because it had been roughly ten years since I had last seen them. Also, I needed work and my aunt was willing to pay me $350 a week plus room and board in exchange for riding fences and fixing any damaged sections. I agreed to take the job without a second thought and packed the next day.
My plane landed ten minutes early, but my Aunt Mary and cousin Alyssa were already waiting for me at the luggage terminal. My aunt looked about the same, just slightly graying at the temples now but my cousin had turned into a knockout. She had long blond hair, whispering across her tan shoulders. She was wearing a white tank top that accentuated her ample breasts and ultra short knit shorts, showing off her long, tanned legs.
They smiled when they saw me coming down the escalator, instantly recognizing me. Alyssa's blue eyes gave me a look other than a friendly greeting, she was eyeing me up and down. When I was younger, I had a weight problem that I couldn't get a handle on. Once I hit adolescence though, I stretched out and began a rigorous workout program. I was well muscled and tanned from weeks of swimming at the beach.
"Good lord, Sam, you look awesome!" Aunt Mary said, hugging me. She sounded in awe of my transformation.
"Thank you, Aunt Mary" I said. "Shows what a little dedication and getting older will do to a person, you know?" She laughed and shook her head in agreement. Alyssa eagerly awaited her turn to greet me. Her teeth were perfect and white, and she had such lush lips.
"Sam, oh my god, you look so different!" Alyssa said, throwing her arms around me and pressing her breasts into my hard pecs. A combination of feeling her soft mounds on my chest and the smell of her perfume gave me an instant, involuntary erection. I tried to move my hips back before she could notice, but she had a knowing look in her eyes. She gave me a sly smile as she stepped back from our embrace.
"You look a lot different too, Alyssa. We are all grown up now." The three of us laughed, and I pushed my rock hard erection to a less noticeable position in my shorts. I could see Alyssa's eyes follow my movements until I was adjusted. "When's dinner, I'm absolutely famished." I asked.
"Well, if you can hold out for about forty minutes or so, we'll be back at the house. I asked Dean, our cook, to prepare some ribs and chicken for tonight. He makes the tastiest barbeque sauce you've ever tasted." Aunt Mary said.
"That sounds fantastic. I haven't had real barbeque for a long time." My stomach rumbled at the thought of a good home cooked meal after nearly four hours of cross country flying and eating airport food. I don't really know how they could call it "food". It smelled like food, looked like it, but definitely tasted like flavored cardboard.
We walked through the airport, making small talk. Aunt Mary and Alyssa led the way to the carport. I couldn't take my eyes off of Alyssa's legs, her feet were clad in stylish flip flops. Her knit shorts were so short, you could nearly see her ass cheeks with each stride she took. I watched her ass twitching in an almost metronomic fashion, enticing me to watch it.
"Sam, did you hear me?" Aunt Mary asked, bringing me out of my daze. I looked up from Alyssa's ass, bewildered and a bit embarrassed. Aunt Mary hadn't seen where my eyes were looking, but Alyssa's eyes met mine when I raised my head. She gave me another wry smile and raised her eyebrows in acknowledgment.
"No, I'm sorry Aunt Mary, I missed it. I think I have jet lag or something, I kind of...spaced out for a minute there." I said, very unconvincingly. Aunt Mary laughed in response.
"I asked if you were excited about working in the country. I know you always were a city boy and this is going to be a big change for you."
"Yes, I can't wait actually. It feels like part of me was always missing, stifled by living in the city." I answered. It was really how I felt, city life just wasn't doing anything for me. "I'm looking forward to hearing animals again, instead of sirens and cars. I can't wait to see the stars again too, they are too hard to see with all the lights from the city." Alyssa and Aunt Mary agreed.
"You can watch me train for barrel racing too, Sam. You've never seen me ride yet, I was only just taking lessons the last time we saw each other." Alyssa said, flipping her hair. It shimmered in the sunlight.
"I'm looking forward to watching you. I am amazed at anyone that can ride horses, I'm afraid they would just buck me off and I'd crack my goddamn skull open." We all laughed at the thought.
"Where did I park the damn car? I swear I parked it right here in section A13-C. Alyssa, where is that stub I gave you?" Aunt Mary said, flustered that she couldn't find the car. She rifled through her purse, opening every zipper and snap of each compartment. Alyssa didn't make any movements to help. She didn't have any pockets in her shorts to search through.
"I think I know where it is, mom," She said. Look in your left hand." Aunt Mary looked for a second.
"I only have my keys in my left hand and...oh wait, here it is." Aunt Mary said, pulling out the stub from the large tangle of her keys. "Let me see here, A 14-B. Damn, we passed it already." We walked back two rows and over one aisle and Aunt Mary used her key fob and unlocked the doors of their Blazer. I climbed into the back seat and Alyssa opened the other door to sit next to me.
"Mom has a plant in the front seat so you are stuck back here with me now," Alyssa said, smiling.
"Oh no," I said, feigning disgust. Aunt Mary laughed at us and hopped in the driver seat, fired up the SUV and pulled out of the parking space. I looked over at Alyssa as she checked her cell phone for messages. Her shorts had ridden up even farther on her legs, making it look like she only had underwear on. The air conditioning flowed out of the vents, it felt good on this hot day. I had broken a slight sweat on the way to the carport but the air cooled me off almost instantly. Alyssa put her phone down and shifted so she could talk to me without having to turn her head as far. Her nipples poked at her tank top like twin erasers. Thank god for air conditioning, I thought in my head. She didn't seem to notice my gaze would drift from her eyes to her nipples periodically as we talked.
