I am going to use this opening paragraph as the beginning to a number of stories - with no particular connection. Not parts of the same series. I hope it works and that you enjoy them. They might leave you hanging at the end...

I have a very long tongue. Like the proverbial joke with the women swarming the dude who was licking his eyebrows, I amazed everyone by doing just that -- licking my eyebrows. My tongue tapered to a narrow tip and it had incredible strength and flexibility. It was a standing joke in my family and those who knew me. I had been named Cameron after my grandfather and was nicknamed Cammy, with it's implied reference to the chameleon with it's long tongue. I was often asked to demonstrate my amazing "talent" at family gatherings.
I was just about to graduate from high school and was looking forward to my 19th birthday in a couple of months. My only sister Jenny was four years older and was moving back home, having recently lost her job and subsequently her apartment on the west coast. She had moved out when I was just starting grade nine and I hadn't been sorry to see her go. Gorgeous and popular, she was self-centered and a "mean girl", often cruel and controlling, treating others (and particularly her younger brother) with disdain. I had been glad that she graduated our school before I started -- I was out from under her shadow. I had our shared bathroom to myself and I was free of her bossy and domineering hold over me.
I met the news that my sister was returning home with considerable apprehension. I loved her and our recent relations had been much better than in the past, but she was moving back into her old bedroom, which was adjacent to mine. We were in a separate wing of our spacious house, one that I had had to myself for the last four years. We shared a bathroom which was accessible from either of our respective bedrooms with our own access doors. I was afraid that when she moved in, she would quickly re-established her dominance over me once again. Memories of that time were often tinged with melancholy.
I had grown used to privacy and having the run of my own part of the house. But mom pointed out that Jenny was out of sorts too. Although I was no longer the bratty little brother always underfoot, she now had to get used to sharing a bathroom and shower with an awkward teenager. She had been used to ruling the roost and she quickly established that our bathroom schedule revolved around her wants and needs, not mine. I would get to know her schedule well in the next couple of weeks because there was hell to pay if I was in there when she wanted to shower.
She had arrived from the airport with only two suitcases and she quickly unpacked and settled in. She greeted me with a bear hug and I returned the embrace, pleased with our first few minutes together. I didn't see much of her over the next day or three as she re-established contact with friends from school who still lived in town. She-wolves, the whole bunch of them. Jenny was not working (or even looking for work) so we were often at home together during the day while mom and dad were at work.
When the moving truck arrived several days later, mom and I helped her with moving her stuff in. As I struggled with a heavy box of photo albums, Jenny intercepted me on the stairs and asked me to take them to my room. She would explain later, but mom was fussing about and Jenny was anxious that she might notice them and they might pique her curiosity.
Jenny had more stuff than she could comfortably fit into her room and some of her furniture items had to go to the basement. I had a second closet in my bedroom that wasn't being utilized fully, so I let Jenny use it for some of her clothes that she didn't have room for. It made sense that she would hang her lingerie there as her everyday clothes took up most of her own closet space.
As I helped her smooth out and hang up a startling number and variety of sexy and revealing gowns, merry widows and corsets, I developed an erection that I was unable to hide in the shorts I was wearing. Jenny noticed, but made no comment and I appreciated that -- I was flushed with both arousal and embarrassment. In the past, I might have been relentlessly harassed. It dawned on me that if I could keep my sister happy, she would let me be happy. I could be happy under her control.
I had placed the box of photo albums on the floor in the closet and she asked me to pull it out now, as we finished hanging her lingerie. She pulled out four of the dozen or so albums and told me to put these ones away -- somewhere where mom wouldn't find them. With no further explanation, she had me carry the box with the remaining albums to her room and place them in in her closet, next to her shoes.
Naturally, my interest was piqued. What was she hiding from mom? She hadn't said anything to me about the albums other than to hide them. Going to bed that night, I couldn't resist the temptation any longer. Trembling with anticipation, I opened the top one and leafed through the first few pages. I did the same with the other three to confirm what I was seeing.
Along with her regular photo albums, she had a collection of boudoir shots that she had organized into four separate binders. She had done her share of nude shoots because of the money, but she included none of these in her albums. There was nothing lewd or offensive about them and she was always posed solo. She was proud of these pictures.
