Last spring I graduated from college. A few days after graduation I packed up my stuff, put it on a truck, got on a plane, and moved across the country to live with my aunt and uncle. There aren't many jobs for someone with my education in the area I grew up in, but there are a lot of good jobs in the area my aunt and uncle live in. They were kind enough to let me come and live in their huge house while I looked for a job and got things set up for myself.
My aunt and uncle are both workaholics and they work really long hours all the time. I would literally go days without seeing one or both of them because they were either out of town on business or they were getting home really late and then leaving really early.
I didn't have the house to myself though. My cousin Emily lived there too.
I grew up on the other side of the country so I was quite shocked when I saw my cousin for the first time in years.
Emily was the one that picked me up at the airport because her parents were working. When I got to the bottom of the escalator she ran up to me and gave me a big hug. At first I had no idea who she was, for some reason I was looking for the little girl that I hadn't seen since she was like 4. When she broke the hug I looked into her face and sure enough it was Emily.
"Damn kid, you've sure grown up since I last saw you." I said.
"Don't call me kid, I'm 18." Emily said.
"I don't believe it. I'm not old enough for you to be 18." I said jokingly.
"Well smartass I have proof that I'm 18." Emily said.
Emily squatted down to dig through her purse with both hands. I couldn't help but glance down her blouse, which showed a lot of firm young cleavage. She popped to her feet with her driver's license in her hand.
"See, this says I'm 18. Read it and weep." Emily said quite satisfied with herself.
"Well okay then, I guess you are 18, but I still don't see how you got so old." I said.
We got my luggage and loaded it into her car, or actually her truck. As we got on the freeway I tried to strike up a conversation.
"I bet your dad sure likes this truck." I said.
"Oh no, he hates it, but I wanted a truck so I bought it." Emily said.
"This is yours?" I asked.
"Yep. Mom and Dad let me get whatever I wanted and I wanted a truck so I got it. Dad wanted me to get a little four cylinder car, but I just love the feel of the road and the power that this big truck gives me." Emily said.
She pushed the accelerator down to show off the power of the engine.
"You know what; I like you already Emily. I'm a truck guy myself. It broke my heart to sell the truck I had back at my folks' place." I said.
We carried on a conversation about how her last year of high school was going, what I was gonna miss about my old home, what I was looking forward to in my new home, basic conversation stuff.
All the while I found my eyes drifting over to my cousin's body. Her legs were long and tan coming out of the shorts she was wearing and the curvature of her breasts was fully displayed by the tight fitting top she was wearing.
I'm sure I was pretty obvious in my staring, but she either didn't notice or didn't care so try as I might to pull my eyes away they always found their way back to her.
When we got to the house I was impressed by how huge it was. They had six bedrooms for what had been three people. We put my suitcases in the room that they had prepared for me and sat down to continue talking.
"This place is great. You've got a huge house, a pool, a lot of privacy." I said.
"Yeah, it's great. Since mom and dad are never here I pretty much have the place to myself most of the time. I can get home from school grab a bottle of water and just walk out into the backyard take off all of my clothes and get an all over tan without anybody bothering me. Though I guess I probably won't be able to do that anymore now that you're living here." Emily said.
"Don't change your routine on my account Emily. The last thing I want is for my living here to disrupt your lives. If you normally tan naked in the backyard when you get home from schoole go right ahead and keep doing it. Just tell me when you're going to do it and I'll make sure to give you plenty of privacy." I said.
"I'd really appreciate that, if you're sure you don't mind giving me the privacy to do it. I hate having tan lines, they just look funny." Emily said.
"With as tan as you are now, and considering how white I remember you being as a kid I don't doubt that tan lines would look odd on you. I have no problem with giving you all the privacy you need for tanning. Heck once I find a job I'll be working until like 5 anyway so you'll have a few hours of freedom at least." I said.
"Well then, let's just set this up now so there aren't any awkward accidental situations later. Tomorrow is Monday. I get home from school at around 3:10 every day and I head straight to the back yard. I usually lay out until like 4 or 4:30 depending on the sun that day and if I have anything else to do. Then I come in take a shower and get dressed." Emily said.
"Okay so that means that until 4:30ish the backyard and the back of the house are off limits, got it. Hell, with this great TV room and all these channels I'm sure I can find something to kill that hour and a half assuming I'm not out looking for a job or hopefully working." I said.
For the first week or so the arrangement worked really well for both of us. When I was home between 3-4:30 in the afternoon I would watch TV in the front of the house and give Emily her privacy so she could tan in the backyard in the nude.
Then on the second Thursday that I was living in the house I desperately needed to do a load of laundry, but the laundry room was at the back of the house on the first floor.
I needed my clothes clean and ready for a meeting I had that night about a job so I absolutely had to go to the laundry room to run my clothes. When I got there with my basket of clothes I walked in and found Emily standing there naked getting ready to put her clothes into the washing machine.
I gasped and turned my back to her quickly as I clamped my eyes shut.
"I am so sorry Emily; I thought you were still outside." I said.
"It's okay. Did you need to do some laundry?" Emily asked.
"Yeah, I have to have this shirt and these pants clean for a meeting I have about a job tonight at 8:00." I said.
"Well I just started a load of my underwear; you're more than welcome to throw your stuff in with it. It's on delicate but it should be clean enough." Emily said.
"Okay, I'd appreciate it. If this meeting goes well I could be starting a new job on Monday." I said.
For a few moments there was silence.
"Well, aren't you gonna put your laundry in?" Emily asked.
