When I was 18, I visited my cousins in the country. They owned a large piece of farmland that grew soybeans and corn, housed all their horses and hunting dogs and also was the site their enormous farmhouse. Since I was very small, I visited them about every other summer, so my cousins and I knew all the best places to hide, run and get into trouble. Coming to their house was like being a kid again, even as I got older; because they didn't have cable TV or cell service, we still had to make up ways to have fun.
Now, my aunt and uncle had two sets of children, older and younger. The two younger girls, Kylee and Anna, were usually my playmates, but the older two sometimes played with us as well. The older girl, Livy, wasn't much fun (she was more concerned with getting married right now) but Ben was always a great time. He was a big, brawny construction worker who liked to jump on the trampoline and launch us into the air. Everyone thought he was really funny and cute and it helped that he was always really nice, too.
He often stayed the night to have Sunday breakfast with his whole family, and on this night, he did just that. My aunt and uncle went to bed early to be up for church the next day, but since I didn't go to church, I was allowed to stay up with Ben and watch movies in my nightshirt, like a sleepover. I was running out of movies to watch when he said, "Let's play a game instead."
"Ok."
"What do you want to play?"
I liked to play Scrabble and Boggle, but the boxes were downstairs past everyone's bedrooms and he didn't think it was a good idea to wake them up. "Let's play something without a board, then. Something that doesn't make noise," he suggested.
"Ok, like what?"
"How about the quiet game?"
I rolled my eyes. "That game is for little kids that won't shut up. It's not a real game."
"Not the way I play it! One person stays quiet and the other tries to
make
them make sound." I thought that sounded a lot more fun, so we tried it and I chose to be quiet first. He made all kinds of faces at me and though I wanted to laugh, I pressed my hands over my mouth. I tried making faces at him, too, but he didn't even crack a smile, so I tickled him. That was better: his lips wiggled and he jerked around a lot, but he stayed resolutely quiet.
Then it was my turn again. "Remember, no sound at all!" he said. I pressed my lips closed and mimicked throwing away the key to show I meant business. "Ok."
He knelt down and took off my sock to wiggle my big toe. I didn't move a muscle. "Good!" he said in an impressed voice. He reached up and tickled behind my knee next. I was really ticklish there, but I bit my lips with determination.
Ben watched my face while he slid his hand way up under my nightshirt and touched me through my panties. I gasped, but he raised his eyebrows. We were still playing. He touched me all around, stroking my thighs and reaching for the back of my panties to hold my butt. When I still didn't make noise, his fingers reached under the waistband and touched the place where my skin parted between my legs. His fingers were warm and firm and it felt good, but a little strange at the same time. I thought maybe it was because I wasn't usually touched there. He took his hand away and grinned. "You win another round! I'll go once more and then it's probably time to sleep."
My head felt a little fuzzy, but one more turn sounded ok. I started out like he did, tickling his feet. He didn't laugh, but boys are less ticklish than girls, so I wasn't surprised. The backs of his knees probably didn't tickle at all, so I skipped that and reached for the place between his legs. I knew that boys and girls had different parts, but I had only ever seen a diagram once in a used textbook and there didn't seem to be a big difference. Ben didn't feel the same at all. He felt long and hard and I touched him all over with great curiosity. He sighed a long, deep sigh and I wasn't sure whether that counted or not because I had gasped and he hadn't cared, but I wanted to stop playing for the night anyway. "You win!" I said cheerily, letting go and backing away.
The next day, the girls, Ben and I played hide and seek. Everyone's favorite thing to do was to run straight into the cornfield because the tall stalks had felt like a maze as a little kid and the feeling never really died. It was easy to hear people coming through the stalks and run away, but sometimes that gave away your position, so you had to be sneaky. There was a lot of ground to cover, so it was common for these games to last hours, but we didn't care. What else were we going to do with our time? When someone was caught, they just became the new 'it' and screamed out their countdown so the whole field could hear; another carryover from being small.
As the guest, I went first. I covered my eyes with my hands and counted back from 20, then said in my sing-songiest voice, "Ready or not, here I come!" The corn giggled and I ran for the sound. After a long while, I found my youngest cousin Kylee by her bright pink tanktop and made her the new 'it'. She dutifully began screaming and I dashed away, straight into Ben.
"Let's find a place together! If we both think of places, they'll never find us." I thought this was a good idea, so I started suggesting places. "They'll look around the house after a while. Do you know someplace out in the fields you don't go often?" There was a hay barn out in the field, but we usually didn't go in because it was just boring and full of hay bales. He said that boring was good because they wouldn't go there, so we agreed to hide in the barn for a while.
Like usual, hay bales were stacked up to the high windows, but some of the hay had been used because there was a path through the first line of bales. We snuck through and Ben closed up the entrance with two bales from the next row. I told him he was full of good ideas and he laughed. We followed the path about halfway back through the barn where there was an empty place off to one side.
"I don't think we'll be caught for a while, do you?" I didn't think so. He sat down on a pile of loose hay and made to get comfortable. "How long do you think it'll take for Kylee to find Anna?" he asked.
I also sat. "A while. Kylee isn't a good seeker and Anna's a good runner. Anna's a better seeker, though."
"Ok. We have some time to kill, then, and we should stay quiet. Do you want to play the game again?"
I thought about it for a bit. I wasn't sure whether or not I had really liked it last night. Nothing bad had happened, but I felt weird about where Ben touched me. Then I thought about waiting here for hours with nothing to do and I decided I'd rather not be bored. "Ok. Why don't you be quiet first?"
I made silly faces at Ben to no avail, so I tickled him again which also didn't work again. Then I remembered that he had almost made sound when I touched the hardness between his legs and I reached for that. His eyes widened and he bit his lip as though bracing himself. Sensing victory, I touched him very firmly where he was hard, stroking him like I remembered him doing to me. His whole body shivered; had I found where he was ticklish? Determined, I stroked even harder until a soft groan escaped him. "I win!" I said triumphantly.
"Yes, you did. Do I get a chance to redeem myself?"
It seemed like the right thing to do, so I said, "Yeah, alright." Ben motioned for me to lie back against the hay and I did. He pulled my legs apart and cupped his hand right between my thighs. He rubbed slowly, but firmly with his hot, hard hand. It felt just as good as it had last night and soon, I began to shiver like he just had.
"I'm going to help you not make sound, ok?" I nodded, not want him to stop. He leaned over me and pressed his lips to mine. Not knowing what to do, I pressed back. He groaned, but it wasn't his turn not to make noise, so he kept rubbing. His teeth scraped against my lips and I think I felt his tongue in my open mouth, delicious and wet. "You're doing very well, don't give up!" he said in a low voice, using both hands to unzip my jeans and let his hand wander under my panties. His fingers pressed into my parted skin and rubbed there. My moan was absorbed into his mouth, and he kept rubbing me. I felt some feeling well up inside me and became a bit afraid. Almost like he knew, he kissed me harder and rubbed my sex faster, making the feeling stronger. I tried to shut my legs, but his hand kept them apart and finally, I felt my body spasm in the most wonderful way. My sex quivered and trembled against his hand while a hot fluid ran down into my panties and onto my thighs. One long, thin moan was lost in our kiss, then I felt my head fall back on the hay. "Good girl," he said, and I could hear a smile in his voice. "You won."
"But I made noise!" I said, my body still shaking a little.
