Babysitting for Josh and Kathy had been more lucrative than any of her other sitting gigs, they called at least twice a week and sometimes as many as five times. Josh worked away a lot and Kathy was a baker who often worked night shifts. They were thrilled when they found a sensible and dependable girl to help. The only problem was, it was seriously affecting her love-life, or total lack there-of.
At twenty-one she had been a late bloomer, in fact it had only been in the past few months she had started getting attention from guys. She had kissed a few guys, but that was it, she had never gotten near second base and she was beginning to think she never would. Being a virgin at twenty-one was not something she was happy about! She had meant to be on a date but Kathy called in a panic, she was on night duty and Josh had been held up at a site meeting, and wouldn't be home till eleven pm.
The kids were asleep by the time she arrived at eight twenty-five, "You are an absolute life-saver Jen!" Kathy said with a quick hug before running out the door. "There's food, bla bla, you know the drill!"
"Have a good night at work!" Jen replied with a smile.
She settled on the couch and decided not to watch tv but instead to get through some of the book she had to read for her Lit class. The End of The Affair by Graham Greene had been an unexpected hit in that semester's reading list, she was sure she would hate it but was drawn in almost immediately. The book was set during WWII in London, and focused on a doomed love affair, she pulled the fluffy blanket from the back of the couch and lay down to read.
She came to a scene that caused a tingle between her legs, the main characters were going to have sex and were making their way upstairs, his hand rubbing her sex over her clothes. It was so subtly sexy. She tried to resist but couldn't and slid a hand under the waistband of her jeans and knickers, quickly finding her throbbing clitoris. She closed her eyes, imagining the hands of a man on her, her fingers strummed hard on her little swollen nub. She was not teasing, she needed to come and was rubbing in earnest.
"Hey Jen I... uh... shit..." The voice felt like a gun-shot, she pulled her hand away and jumped up to find Josh standing in the doorway, hours early and very red-faced.
She burst into tears, racked with sobs, trying to grab her stuff, she just wanted to get out of there.
"I'm... sorry... I... I..." She couldn't form the words, sobbing her heart out.
Josh walked across the room and put his arms around her, pulling her close, "Hey it's ok, please don't cry." He said as he rubbed a comforting hand on her hair, "It's ok, it's ok." He repeated.
It took a few minutes but Josh's words worked, she was calming. He led her back to the couch and sat her down, she put her head in her hands, unable to meet his eye.
"Josh I am so very sorry. I was reading this book and... I've never done that before when I babysat, I dunno what came over me..." She trailed off.
"Don't worry, it happens..." He replied.
"I'm mortified, I could die of shame right now!" She said, sneaking a sideways glance at him before quickly burying her head in her hands.
"Listen, it was a bit of a shock and it would probably be best if you didn't do it when you're babysitting, in case one of the kids were to wake and come down. But it's not the end of the world, do you know how many times I've been caught?" He asked, reaching an arm around her shoulder, physically reassuring her.
"You've been caught?" She asked, looking back up at him.
"When I was at college, I got caught by my roommate, more than once, my coach caught me in the shower after a game... you don't need to feel embarrassed." He answered with a smile, rubbing his hand on her shoulder.
"Thank you for being so kind about it." She smiled weakly. "I'm sure you want to rip your eyeballs out." She added, trying to lighten things.
"Uh no, on the contrary, I'm kinda sorry I opened my big mouth before I saw what you were doing!" He said, grinning, causing Jen's face to redden again.
"You'd have watched?" She asked in a barely audible whisper, her pussy throbbed in reaction to his words.
"I probably shouldn't admit to that, but fuck yes. That's the hottest thing I've seen in... years!" He let his finger trail from her shoulder to her collarbone and back.
"You're just saying that to make me feel better!" She said.
"There's a tent in my trousers to prove I'm telling the truth!" He glanced down towards his crotch and her eyes followed, settling on his erection.
"I've never been this close to an erection before." The words were out of her mouth before she could stop them.
"What?" He exclaimed, clearly shocked.
"I can't believe I just said that, honestly, I don't know what has come over me." The blush was now extending to her neck and ears.
"Jen, are you a virgin?" Josh asked cautiously.
"Yep, never even been to second base." Her answer was more candid than she had intended.
