Life was normal. Mundane, boring, but normal. We weren't rich or poor, we had everything a normal family needed along with a few extras. Mom did her best after Dad ran off with someone from his job. She took on a couple of extra jobs to pay the bills and it really took a toll on her health causing her have have some issues with weight. She did the best she could, but it was clear it was too much for her. My sister Jane and I knew we had to move out as soon as we got out of school so Mom could slow down and concentrate on herself and her health. She'd told us for years that as soon as we left, she'd sell the house and move back to the more relaxed country life she grew up with. We knew the score and agreed.
Mom's sister Nancy was almost a complete opposite. She'd gotten in to a good college earlier than many people did and had really excelled. She worked hard and got a break with a financial firm in a major city hundreds of miles away, where she was able to move up the ranks quite quickly. Aunt Nancy never got married, telling us she never really had time for it. We barely ever saw her other than a few small family gatherings. But when she arrived in our small town everybody noticed. She simply exuded style and grace the way old time movie stars used to in the Golden Age of films.
Always impeccably dressed, she glided through a room more than walking. Even the way she talked was more polished. Her clear, steady voice and remarkable diction sharply contrasted my mother's shaky and at times weak voice speaking in a way that might be described as frazzled. No one didn't notice her enter a room and she would sometimes leave early to avoid being a distraction to my Mom. Some of the townspeople couldn't understand how sisters born two years apart grew up so different. Some of them would get downright unneighborly accusing her of abandoning us. Some called her a school mam or headmistress due to her professional demeanor that could seem cold or callous to some. Others just called her a bitch.
The way she dressed didn't really fit in this town either. She was always in dresses or skirt outfits when most other women never were. She made the mistake of coming out to lakeside picnic one day in a one piece swimsuit that showed a body people in this hick town had only seen on TV. The men went nuts, the women were pissed. She had to go back home and change into a top and shorts and even that showed off too much of her traffic stopping legs for many.
Being a little over a year older than I, Jane was the first to leave and it was somehow agreed that she would go live with Aunt Nancy for a year while trying to get on her feet in the big city. During that period she'd come home for a few days every couple of months. Each time she did, I noticed something different. Her appearance and the way she talked were changing gradually and she was becoming more confident and relaxed. Her manner of dress also changed. No longer the homely tom boy, Jane was now more of a young Aunt Nancy in almost every way. But there was a lot of mystery about her time there and she never really spoke of it. Questions went mostly unanswered, or got vague replies, like 'It's complicated.' Then she'd go back and we'd here nothing until her next visit back when even more changes were evident.
One of these was my eighteenth birthday. Mom threw the best party she could manage and it was an overall good time for everybody. The next morning Mom said we had to talk about a few things. The time had come. She'd burned out and had arranged to sell the house.
"Dick, I've done all I can do and I just can't handle it any more. I've having a lot of problems you don't now about. Breathing is becoming difficult, my back and legs hurt every day and I just have to stop all of it now. The doctors aren't very positive about my future if I don't get away from the stress of a family. It's time for you to move on like your sister Jane did two years ago."
Jane chimed in, "Dick, part of my reason for being here this time is to take you to Aunt Nancy's place where she'll put you up and help you adjust like she did with me. She's a terrific lady and has helped me in all sorts of ways." My sister Jane spoke with that calm and soothing confidence I'd heard in our Aunt's voice.
I was given a few days to visit with some of my friends before I left with my sister for something I wasn't at all sure of. Part of me wanted to stay home and help Mom, but I was told that wasn't an option. The house was already sold and she'd be moving in with a distant cousin in her small house far out in the country.
Little was said during the trip. Jane wouldn't tell me much of what to expect.
"You just have to trust Aunt Nancy. Let her teach you and guide you. Follow her every step of the way and she'll lead you to a whole new way of life, just like she did me."
I was intrigued, but also scared and apprehensive. I wasn't really a follower and liked to forge my own way when possible.
Jane's voice got uncharacteristically stern, "Dick, you have to do what she says. You have to trust her completely. It may almost seem like boot camp, but she WILL help you make your life better."
Jane told me she'd gotten an apartment a few miles from Aunt Nancy and would be visiting me as often as she could when she could get away from work. I'd also be visiting my sister from time to time when our Aunt had to go away on business trips.
We were here, at Aunt Nancy's condominium in a high rise building in the city. Jane used a passkey to get us into the building and up the elevator which opened on to her floor and into her entry way. She handed the pass key to me telling me it was mine now and not to lose it. After a walk down a short hallway, we turned into another room where Aunt Nancy was waiting for us. She was standing as we approached her and I'd never seen her look as good. She took me into her arms in a very warm and very close embrace like nothing she'd ever done in the past. It was both uncomfortable and very, very comfortable, warming, reassuring and more than a little arousing as I felt her breath on my neck.
There was a very deep and breathy "Welcome Nephew" almost whispered in my ear.
Her sparkling red lips gave me a quick kiss on my lips and I could swear there was a bit of a nibble before she moved back, took me by the hand and led me to a couch where she sat beside me close enough that our thighs were touching. The hem of her dress had ridden up a bit and quite a bit of her wonderful legs appeared.
Jane was now standing directly in front of us, hands at her sides as if awaiting some sort of instruction.
Aunt Nancy spoke directly to her, "Jane dear, please bring your brother and I something drink to help us all relax after your long trip and begin our journey."
It only took my sister a few minutes to return with a tray, handing us each a wine glass and small plate with snacks. She continued to stand there holding the tray with one hand, the other straight down at her side.
"Jane, you may take your drink and plate and be seated."
"Thank You Aunt Nancy" was her reply in an almost robotic voice of obedience.
My sister set the tray down, took her drink and plate and sat across from us on the very edge of the chair, her back stiff straight and her feet flat on the floor, slightly parted, along with her knees.
My Aunt's hand was now on my knee and I was all but frozen at the situation. However, they had both noticed I was also more than a little aroused.
"What have you told you brother Jane?"
"Only what you directed ma'am."
"I see. Dick, my nervous nephew, we have a great deal of work to do over the next few weeks. As your sister told you, just do as I say and all will go well, She has been a marvelous student, one of very best and I have great hopes you'll do was well. I've done this more times than I can count over the years, teaching many young men and women like yourselves. They've all become quite successful. While many have moved on to business roles, some are doing well on domestic household staffs after their time at my little finishing school here."
We chatted for a few minutes while we drank wine and ate the snacks. Very casual, but with an odd tension in the air. More than one she stroked my neck wither her nails while looking directly at my lap looking for a reaction that didn't disappoint her. With one arm now draped over my shoulder and her leg pressing even harder again mine, she spoke again.
"Jane darling, I think it's time for a little demonstration. Please stand and remove your skirt and blouse for us."
"Yes Ma'am" was all she said as she stood.
I was completely stunned and dumbfounded as I watched my sister undress in front me as if there was nothing to it. In just a moment her outer clothes were neatly folded on the arm of the chair and she was standing before use in only a bra, panties and a garter belt with stockings.
Gauging my reaction, our aunt continued.
"Thank you Jane, now please remove your bra and panties for us."
Again, just a simple "Yes Ma'am" was all my sister replied and she did as instructed, folding and adding them to the pile, leaving her all but naked.
"Thank you dear." Aunt Nancy said as she stood up and moved a few feet in front of the couch I was still sitting on. "Now be a darling and remove my dress for your brother."
