‘I’ll try to find you some clothes,’ I explained, as I pulled myself away
from her and headed out of the door. I had to distance myself from Lisa as
quickly as possible. I was having dark troubling thoughts about my brother’s
girlfriend that I know I shouldn’t be having. In fact I had never had such
thought about any woman ever before. I reached the front door of the lake house
and headed straight down the main corridor towards the large open planed
kitchen, but stopped at a white wooden door at the end of the corridor. It was
the last door before I reached the kitchen. It opened with a click and I
stepped into the laundry room. The god-awful stench inside the room instantly
dissolved my sense of smell it was so rancid. Three months worth of old dirty
washing sat in a foul smelling pile on top of the washing machine.
‘What a lovely smell you’ve found,’ said Lisa from the doorway behind me.
I tried my best to avoid looking directly at her. Just knowing she was
standing a few feet away from me in her bra and panties sent pulses of pleasure
down between my legs and straight into my throbbing cock.
‘I thought I might find some clean clothes in here,’ I explained.
‘Won’t there be any in the house?’ asked Lisa.
‘I doubt it,’ I replied without looking at her. ‘My family only ever used
this place for vacations, which means we only tend to bring along the clothes
we intend to wear and when we leave the clothes go with us.’
‘What about this?’ she asked.
I turned to see Lisa holding up the only two clean towels in the whole
laundry room. ‘What about them?’ I asked.
‘We could wear these whilst you tumble dry our clothes,’ she gestured
with a nod of her head towards the tumble dryer.
‘That’s a good idea,’ I replied.
‘See I’m not just a pretty face.’ She smiled that angelic smile. ‘Well
then…’ Lisa reached around and undid her bra. I managed to turn away just in
time, as she began to pull the straps down her arms. I could hear her giggling
behind me, as she undressed. ‘You really are so shy.’
* * *
I sat in front of the large stone fireplace in the corner of the leather
sofa wrapped in nothing more than a thin white towel. I felt naked and more
than a little embarrassed. Lisa sat at the other end of the sofa wrapped in her
own thin white towel. It only managed to reach one quarter of the way down her
smooth tanned thighs and only just managed to wrap around her large firm
breasts.
I had to force myself to stare down into the bottom of my half-empty wine
glass, which I held tightly between my hands, to stop myself from staring at
her smooth and in my own personal opinion very kissable thighs. I took a long
deep breath to try to clear my mind of such thoughts. I should not be thinking
about getting on my knees and kissing the thighs of my brother’s girlfriend.
It was wrong.
A wave of rain crashed against the window hidden behind the long brown
curtains. The storm was getting worse. The rain was now striking with such
power that it sounded like someone was standing directly outside the lake house
and throwing handfuls of pebbles at the window. The winds continued to howl and
the sky rumbled overhead.
Unconsciously I found myself staring out of the corner of my eye towards
Lisa’s long elegant legs, as she sat with one leg crossed over the other at the
opposite end of the sofa. The very sight of them sent butterflies fluttering
within my stomach. This woman was beautiful beyond words. I followed her tanned
legs from the ankles up. My eyes travelled over her knees and along her thighs
until the bottom of the towel obstructed my view.
If only it was a few inches higher…
I heard Lisa giggle to herself and I glanced up into her bright blue
eyes.
She took a sip of her wine and stared intently at me over the rim of her
glass.
Had she seen me looking at her?
And more importantly, did she like that I was looking at her?
I nervously turned my eyes back towards my glass.
‘Do you really find me that attractive?’ asked Lisa.
My heart nearly burst through my ribcage and bounced away across the
floor it was beating so hard.
‘What do you mean?’ I stuttered.
‘It’s a simply question, Conner.’ She smiled sweetly at me. ‘Do you find
me so attractive that you can’t take your eyes off of me?’
‘I…um…’ I was about to think up some cunning lie, but let out a defeated
sigh instead. I was as good at telling a lie as I was at singing, which was not
very good at all. ‘I’m sorry. You saw me staring at you?’ I asked.
‘Yes,’ she replied.
‘I don’t mean to.’ I took a sip of my wine. ‘It’s just that I think
you’re really beautiful. I’m trying not to look at you, I really am, but I
can’t seem to take my eyes off of you.’ I released another long and weary sigh.
‘But don’t worry,’ I quickly added. ‘It’s not like I’ll try to make a move on
you or anything. I know you’re with, Nathan.’
‘It’s okay,’ she replied softly. ‘I know you would never make a move on
me. You’re too much of a good person to do something like that. And,’ she
paused for a moment. ‘I don’t mind the way you look at me.’
‘You don’t?’ I couldn’t hide the surprise in my voice.
‘No. The way most men look at me is disgusting,’ she took a sip of her
wine. ‘They only want me for one thing and one thing only, but you have such
innocence behind your eyes. When you look at me I feel pretty.’
‘That’s because you are pretty,’ I admitted. The words left my mouth
before I could stop them.
Lisa regarded me for a long moment before speaking again. ‘Do you have a
girlfriend, Conner?’
‘Me? No,’ I replied with a shake of my head.
‘I’m surprised,’ countered Lisa. ‘Usually all the nice men are already
taken. Why is it that you don’t have a girlfriend?’
Nice men? Does that mean that she actually likes me?
‘I guess I am waiting for the right woman.’
Lisa let out a laugh. ‘Is that so?’ I nodded my head slowly in reply. ‘Is
that what you tell all the girls before you get them into bed with you? It must
be a good turn on when you act all shy and say the right things. I bet you say
you’re waiting for the right girl, that special someone and then have your
wicked way with them, am I right?’
‘No, it’s nothing like that,’ I tried to explain.
‘I’ve heard so many men saying the same thing to me before, but all
they’re really after is a one night stand. It always makes me laugh when men
say they’re waiting for the one and then have sex with different woman while
they wait.’
‘I’m not like that,’ I quickly cut in.
‘Is that so?’ asked Lisa. ‘So you’ve never had a one night stand?’
‘Never,’ I replied with a shake of my head.
‘Well, you would have had to sleep with your ex-girlfriend and
considering she is your ex-girlfriend I am guessing she was not the one,’ added
Lisa.
‘I’ve never had a girlfriend,’ I could feel my cheeks starting to glow an
embarrassing red.
Why was I telling her all of this?
Lisa cocked her head to one side and looked me dead in the eyes. ‘If
you’ve never had a one night stand and have never had a girlfriend, have you
ever actually slept with anyone before?’
I took a very big mouthful of wine.
My silence said it all.
‘You’re a virgin!?’ Lisa couldn’t hide the shock in her voice.
The room fell silent for a very long uncomfortable moment. The only sound
came from the howling winds and the rain pelting down against the window.
‘I envy you,’ she said into the silence.
Eh?
‘I wish I had the self-control to wait for that perfect someone. I’ve
been used by every man that I’ve ever been in a relationship with,’ she
explained. ‘At the time I truly believed each of them was that perfect someone
I had been waiting for, but I guess in my eagerness to find that special man I
ended up turning a blind eye to my ex-boyfriends bad points. They all used me
for one thing and then cast me aside once they were finished with me.’
‘I’m sorry,’ I replied. ‘You deserve so much better than that.’
Lisa flashed me a smile that melted my heart.
God she was beautiful!
‘Thank you, Conner.’ She let out a deep sigh, as memories of past
boyfriends flashed across her mind’s eye. ‘Most men like the fact that I have a
pretty face, slim body and big boobs. They never want me for who I truly am,
but for what I can do for them in the bedroom. The last couple of boyfriends I
have had were just the worst. It was only sex, sex and more sex with them.’
Lucky bastards…
‘Nathan treats you right?’ I instantly regretted saying that. ‘I’m sorry.
That’s none of my business.’
‘No, it’s okay.’ Lisa smiled a heart warming smile. ‘Nathan and I…’ She
picked her next few words very carefully. ‘…Are in a complicated relationship.
We have never actually slept together or kissed for that matter.’
Why had he never kissed this angel of beauty?
Could my brother possibly be gay?
‘In many ways we are not even really boyfriend and girlfriend. You could
say I’m single and free to do what I want.’ Lisa gave her head a quick shake
and quickly changed the subject. ‘So, are you currently interested in anyone?’
Yes, you! I decided not to voice that last part out loud.
‘There is someone I like,’ I admitted.
‘Do you think that she could be the one?’ asked Lisa.
I replied by shrugging my shoulders, ‘I guess I will know when I know.’
Suddenly the room was cast into darkness.
The lights flicked off and the electric fire, with its charming flame
effect, instantly disappeared into the darkness of the night. Thunder rumbled
overhead and a flash of blue illuminated the room.
‘What’s going on?’ asked Lisa.
I got up off the sofa and headed for the door. My finger flicked the
light switched on and off several times but as I suspected nothing happened. ‘The
power must be out.’
‘Can you get it back on?’ I could hear the fear in her voice vibrating
through the darkness. A loud thunderclap echoed throughout the lake house.
‘I don’t actually know where the power box is,’ I confessed.
‘What shall we do?’ She cut me off in mid-sentence. Her voice was no
longer coming from the direction of the sofa, but directly in front of me.
Butterflies began to flutter within my stomach at the feel of her fingers
interlinking with mine, as she placed her soft delicate hand in my hand.
‘Follow me,’ I said calmly.
Lisa clung tightly to me, as we walked slowly along the hallway back
towards the front door of the lake house. Blue flashes of lightning crackling
across the skyline illuminated the large and ever so increasingly eerie lake
house. I guided Lisa down the corridor to the kitchen-dining room. The lightning
flashed scary shadows across the long empty kitchen, as I opened up a draw and
rummaged inside.
‘Here,’ I said.
The sound of a match lighting filled the cold empty kitchen. The
flickering orange glow of the little flame danced across Lisa’s worried face.
Her beautiful ocean blue eyes were wide with fear. I placed a candle in her
hand and held a match to it. An even brighter orange glow filled the kitchen,
as the candle took flame. I lit a second candle and headed back down the
hallway.
‘Wait for me,’ called Lisa. She was only two steps behind, but even that
was too far away for comfort. The storm had really frightened her.
‘It’s okay. I am not going anywhere,’ I reassured her.
‘What should we do, Conner?’ she asked, as we returned to the front door of
the lake house. I turned and headed slowly up the stairs towards the second
floor.
‘I think it might be a good idea if we go to bed and get some sleep. The
storm will have passed us by come the morning and when there is more light I
should be able to find the power box somewhere in this massive house.’
‘Okay,’ replied Lisa.
We reached the landing of the second floor and walked down another long
corridor. The lake house seemed a lot larger in the dark. I stopped at a door
and pulled down the handle. The door swung inwards into a bedroom, as another
flash of lightning cast blue light throughout the interior of the bedroom.
Every family member had a room of their own at the lake house. This was the
guest room, which was just down the hall from my own bedroom. It had everything
a person would need to make their stay at the lake house comfortable including
a large oak chest of draws, a wardrobe, a desk and two single beds separated by
a bedside table.
‘This will be your room,’ I announced.
Lisa stepped slowly inside, as if at any moment some hidden monster would
jump out from some dark corner of the room and attack her.
‘If you need anything,’ I began to say but the beautiful blonde cut me
off.
‘Where are you going?’ she asked.
‘I am going to my room,’ I poked my thumb in the direction of my bedroom
just a little ways down the hallway.
‘No,’ she said with a definite shake of her head. ‘Please, don’t leave me
alone tonight. I’m really scared.’ She grabbed me firmly by the wrist and
pulled my arm against her. The back of my hand pressed against her firm breast,
which sent lustful thoughts roaming back through the streets of my mind like
some sort of angry mob. ‘Look, there are two beds. You can sleep in that one
and I’ll have the other. I just don’t want to be alone tonight. Please,’ she
looked up at me with big sad ocean blue puppy dog eyes.
How was I supposed to say no?
‘Okay,’ I replied. ‘I’ll stay.’
A smile that threatened to consume her eyes and ears spread across Lisa’s
angelic face.
‘Thank you, Conner.’
Lisa pulled me into the bedroom and closed the door behind us.
* * *
The small flickering flame of the candle cast a soft orange glow against
the bedroom ceiling. I lay on my back and watched as the shadows danced a
hypnotic dance above me. How on earth was I going to explain this to Nathan?
I’m practically naked beneath my quilt. I’m wearing nothing but a small thin
towel that barely wraps around my body and just a few feet away from me is my
brother’s girlfriend who just happens to be the most beautiful woman in the
whole of existence and she too was practically naked.
