This is a continuation of my story "Owen becomes a Man", and it would be as well for the reader to go to that story first, although this one will stand on its own.

Last week there was an opportunity for the parents of future students to go to Owen's college to put our minds at rest over their accommodation.
When we arrived we were greeted by the college Bursar who was in charge of allocating this accommodation, and we found that (unless anyone wished to change the arrangements, that is,) he would be sharing a four-bedroomed apartment with another boy and two girls!
Having such a twin sister as Chloe, though, meant that Owen was quite unperturbed by this arrangement, although his male soon-to-be-flatmate, George, seemed a little apprehensive at having to share with two girls, even though they would all have their own rooms.
However, George's mother seemed to like the idea, confiding in me that she thought, and hoped, that it would help bring him out of his shell!
"He has had a fairly sheltered upbringing," she confided in me, "as he has been at a private day school for boys only, and has never really come into contact with girls."
I told her that Owen was already a "man of the world" when it came to the opposite sex, but at the same time I tried to assure her that Owen was too much of a gentleman to ever try to lead her son astray.
She did agree, though, to accompany me to a nearby café, where we sipped coffee, leaving the other four to get themselves acquainted in preparation for the big day, when they would all move in together.
Marion seemed a very nice woman, petite, with a figure to be envied, and about my own age. We chatted for a while, exchanging views, and then gradually getting onto what was really troubling her.
The outcome of the whole thing was, though, that I invited her and her son George round for next day for an evening meal, when he could meet Chloe and see how Owen was so at ease in her presence.
I warned Chloe to be on her best behaviour, but she was fully aware already of the need to be ultra-cautious about the relationship the three of us enjoyed, although she did say that if George was a little shy of girls perhaps she could help to overcome his shyness.
Anyway, early evening came, and when Marion and George arrived Owen opened the door to them, and brought them into the lounge where Owen and I were already seated.
We had a light meal during which the conversation, naturally, concerned the boys' future, and afterwards we all returned to the lounge where I offered them all drinks.
I was extremely amused, though, to see that Owen was not being in the least reticent to keep directing his eyes towards Marion's legs which were somewhat revealed as although she was wearing ankle-socks and open-toed shoes, her skirt was fashionably short, making her seem younger than she actually was.
Actually I was even more pleased to see that Marion seemed to be aware of Owen's attention and was making no move to counteract his interest. By that I mean that although she was displaying quite an expanse of naked thigh and seemed fully aware of Owen's gaze there, nevertheless she made no move to even attempt to cover herself more, even though she had sufficient play in her skirt hem to do so.
It was then that I noticed that Chloe was actually doing what I had warned her against -- she was acting as if George was no different to her brother! She was sitting back, quite relaxed, but her mini-skirt was brief enough and her legs were parted sufficiently for not only George, but Marion as well as me to be able to see the gusset of her tiny knickers. (Luckily she is wearing some," I thought to myself!)
But George was interested! I watched his eyes furtively glancing to Chloe's deliberate (as I was sure it was) display and he was beginning to tent up in his trousers. He then seemed to get a little embarrassed and crossed his legs in an attempt to hide his growing erection.
I could see from the corner of my eye that Marion, too, was watching George, but trying not to let him see her own interest in his reactions.
In the meantime Owen seemed now to be past caring about whether or not he was being observed in deliberately gazing up Marion's skirt, and Marion actually turned to me, smiled, and then signalled to me with her eyes towards Owen as if to tell me to watch him. Next thing she purposely allowed her knees to drift apart, giving Owen what must have seemed like an open invitation, as it probably was!
As it was still summer, it was still daylight outside, and so I turned to Chloe and asked her if she wanted to show George the garden. The look in her eyes told me that she had understood my meaning as I gave a surreptitious wink at her, and George, too, seemed a little eager to accompany her.
As soon as they had gone out, though, Marion looked at me, and said "Thanks" very softly indeed, before turning her attention back to Owen, who was making no bones about his interest in what lay beneath Marion's skirt.
What happened next was a surprise to me, although I should have seen it building up that way.
Marion, brazenly parting her knees even further apart, revealing everything beneath her skirt to Owen, turned to me and said, "Nicola -- I am afraid I have a confession to make. I have always had a penchant for younger men."
