He'd moved in a month before after a long search for the right home. It was a nice place near the end of a cul-de-sac and this prevented people from driving through the neighborhood. The place had three bedrooms and was reasonably new yet perfectly maintained.
He worked from home and late one afternoon he came outside to his car and the neighbors across the street came over to introduce themselves. They were in their forties he'd guessed and she was barely five feet tall. Her Husband was short too at about five seven he'd guessed and both were far shorter than his six four frame.
They spoke a few minutes and he learned their names. She was Rachel and seemed to speak for both of them. Suddenly she glanced over his front lawn and asked if he'd mind if she watered it for him. The lawn appeared to be showing a loss of its original deep green and she suggested that she could come by regularly and water it.
He tried to apologize and say that he'd take better care of it but she insisted it was no trouble at all and she enjoyed watering. Her husband spoke up then and said that his wife always worried about the look of the neighborhood and feared property values might come down if people saw anything except perfectly green lawns. She was embarrassed but agreed that property might come down and so he agreed that if she wanted to do it then watering would be okay with him.
Moments later he was driving down the street and shaking his head at the strange encounter although he thought they were good people and the wife Rachel was good looking.
He'd moved from the adjacent town forty miles away and had an old friend with privileges that began visiting him for the sex. For a while she would come over for hours of passion and even occasionally spend the night. It was okay with him because he didn't know many people and no girls in his new job and new town so her visits kept him from getting far too horny.
After perhaps a half-dozen visits and another couple of months his old girlfriend preceded him out the door one morning about nine o'clock and Rachel was out front watering.
When Rachel looked up he introduced his friend Kathy as his cousin that visited a lot. Kathy always wore a wedding band although she was single, Rachel saw the ring and said hello.
Kathy studied Rachel a moment and asked "Is she frequent in your bed too?"
He was instantly embarrassed and tried to explain that Rachel was a neighbor and she lived across the street with her husband.
Kathy smiled as if she knew better, got in her car and drove away.
He tried to explain to Rachel that Kathy had always thought he bedded every woman he knew and that he was sorry if she'd been offended.
Rachel was embarrassed but said it was okay and so he told her that he'd like to explain anytime if she had extra time and then told her that he always left his front door unlocked if she ever wanted a cup of coffee. He added that he kept the Mr. Coffee available. Rachel shut off the water and walked home without saying much more.
Rachel continued to water the lawn several times a week but they hadn't spoken since. Also Kathy hadn't been over.
Then one morning he was up as usual at five and put the coffee on. He worked from home and began his day in a bedroom he'd set up as his office and workspace. Over the next hour he heard the neighborhood waking and cars driving off to work but thought nothing of it.
Around nine that morning Rachel came to the front door and knocked softly. She received no response and tried the door. As promised it was unlocked and she went in.
She'd been in the house many times because the previous owners had been her friends. She listened and heard a soft noise in the kitchen and headed toward it.
As she rounded a corner she saw him standing with his back toward her. He was pouring cereal into a bowl but that isn't where she was staring. He was completely naked with his back toward her and she suddenly felt a warmth and glow she hadn't felt in years. It was a deep gnawing and need for something she had assumed was slowly going away. She knew she should quietly go back to the front door and knock louder but couldn't. Her eyes and her body ached and wouldn't respond to her mental demands. She wanted more, a lot more, all of it and she wanted to see all of him.
He turned now and still hadn't seen her but she saw him and that prize that a girl sometimes dreams of then he saw her and almost jumped.
She saw him now go from fully relaxed to fully aroused and could barely believe how quickly it had happened or how large it was. She thought that if she'd blinked she'd have missed that instant transformation. She'd never had such an effect on a man and had never seen this happen nor had she seen a prize so large.
He almost dropped the cereal box as he tried to apologize by saying he hadn't expected anyone in his house or that early. Then he panicked and tried both to simultaneously leave for his bedroom and cover himself. There was no escape and he searched urgently for anything to hide it but he saw nothing except her.
She laughed nervously and told him that it was okay and that she'd knocked but he mustn't have heard her.
He said perhaps he'd run in and throw on some pants.
She glanced down again at the reception she'd received and smiled with deep appreciation. "Don't worry. I've seen it all many times although not as often anymore nor as substantial. Just relax. Didn't you tell me to come over anytime for coffee?"
