It was then my eyes focused on her long slender legs, that were visible up to her thighs as she pulled her dress up as she sat. And as she finished dr...nking her coffee she asked what it was like in my new apartment and would i show her around. I laughed and said, “Well there isn’t much more than you see” to which she laughed and said, “Oh come on, show your aunt Clare where her favorite nephew was now living.” And as she got up I thought i noticed her purposely spread her legs to let me get a. She said I could come and do that anytime of the day or night that I wanted. I smiled and said okay. “But I do work too you know,” she said. “Ohhhhhh don’t worry,” I replied. “I know that.

All I could think of was what might be going on behind the darkened windscreen in the driveway.It was quite a long time before I heard a key in the lock and my wife finally entered the house.The relief when.
