This is a work of fiction and is not inspired by or related to anyone or anything real or imagined, and is unrelated to any story I have previously written or posted. This will be possibly my longest and most detailed story, and may not always be packed with sex. Instead there will be romance, excitement, tease and the hint of adultery. Some themes, ideas, situations and scenarios used may mirror or borrow from some of my previous stories and that is coincidental and unintended. This work will, and should, stand alone and be enjoyed as if those previous stories have not been written or posted. Just because a hero saves people from terrorists at Christmas time, does not make it DIE HARD. Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne are both billionaires but they are vastly different. Also, I do not advocate affairs, cheating or adultery, this is just a story... nothing more than that.

-----------------------------------------------

My name is Jeff and I am 21 years old, 5' 11" with short brown hair, a decent build and I live with my father and his 3rd wife Kimberly in his huge house while I go to college and work part time. My dad is wealthy and Kimberly has her own money but this isn't about them. Well, it sort of is, but it's not about their money. My dad has a wandering eye and mom always says "Your father is a great man but a lousy person". As long as I've been aware, he cheats on every woman he's with, and the strange part is he cheated on mom with his second wife Leslie, but then he cheated on Leslie with mom. Dad and mom have a strange love/hate relationship and still meet for dinner and who knows what else. Mom says she would marry dad again if he would stop screwing around but from what I see, he's already cheating on Kim and they've only been married a little over a year. What I don't get is Mom is very pretty, Leslie, dad's second wife is gorgeous, and Kim is just flat out hot. So why does he cheat? Who knows, but he also has a thing for blondes, because mom, Leslie and Kim are all blonde. Kim is 33 and younger than dad, who is 42 and since she is a personal trainer, she is in amazing shape and doesn't seem to like to wear clothes. Kim is 5' 10" with short blonde hair and a beautiful smile. Her body is perfect, at least to me, and she has long legs, a tight ass, flat stomach and firm large breasts that have to be 34D if I know anything.

Kim is not shy or reserved, and when you get to know her, she's open and funny and she loves to spoil me. It started out incidental, but became a thing where I have to be careful what I ask for, like, or show her because she just goes out and buys it. Kim is also very flirty and loves to hug, touch, and even kiss, and it's difficult to be around her because she gets me hard and excited pretty much everytime. This isn't one of those stories where "Oops I slept with my stepmother" and it's also not one of those "It just kind of happened" stories either. In fact as things progressed, neither of us realized where they were progressing. At first, when Kim moved in with my father, she realized I liked her and she used to have fun teasing me, flirting with me, that sort of thing, and then her focus was on the wedding prep and then the actual wedding and honeymoon. As time went by the first year or so, I saw Kim in every imaginable outfit, and many times out of her outfits, and while I have never seen her naked, it's been pretty close a few times. She swears it's not on purpose, but she seems to always be in her lingerie when she thinks I'm not home, a few times in nothing but a towel, and don't get me started about her bikinis.

About a week ago I was in the shower and she came into the bathroom to talk to me, something she tends to do whether I like it or not. My dad says it's my imagination and tells me to get over myself, so at this point I just try to ignore my thoughts and go along with whatever Kim does. Here's the thing, Kim is hot for a woman in her 30's and if she wants to flirt with me and tease me, show me her body, hug and kiss me, I'm just not going to argue. So she was in the bathroom and I could see she was wearing tight white shorts and a pink tanktop and it sure didn't seem like she had a bra on. Her breasts were all but spilling out her top and she had her hair teased and spiky and she said she was cleaning her room and wanted my help. I definitely didn't want to clean the house, dad had a service that came and did that stuff and... I know that makes me sound like a snob and I apologize. Kim said if I helped her she would owe me a favor but she didn't want just anyone in her room going through her things. I got cocky and said "Kim, I'll help you arrange your closet and stuff, but you have to watch basketball with me" and she exhaled and asked "Are you serious? Can't you ask for something else? You know I don't like sports". I rinsed off and turned off the water and I swear it was like her expression changed as if she were waiting for me to come out of the shower.

Dad says it's all in my head, but I know what I saw and Kim sure seemed to be anticipating seeing me naked. That created an issue because to get out and get to my towel meant she would definitely see me naked. I slid the curtain back some and asked her for the towel and she actually stood there and asked "What about helping me?" I peeked out at her and said "You know my price" and she sighed. I stared at her and I swear her nipples were hard and poking against her thin top and she said "Can't you ask for something else like world peace or a Ferrari?" I smiled and she said "How about this? I'll chill out with you tonight when your father goes to his poker game and we can snuggle and watch some tv... but no sports". I blinked and she smiled seductively and said "Unless you don't want to snuggle with me. Maybe you don't like girls? I understand, it's normal at your age". I huffed "That's rude. Give me my towel" and she smiled and said "Nope. Come get it" and she grabbed it and moved further away. I was frustrated and distracted and Kim made it worse by saying "I won't tell anyone you don't like girls, it can be our secret". I growled "Dammit Kim" and stepped out of the shower to grab the towel and Kim gasped and stared at my hard cock. I froze and blushed and she fumbled behind herself, found the door, and closed it then said "Holy shit". I had been getting hard from her being in the bathroom, teasing me, her skimpy clothes and just her sheer perfection. Now I was rising visibly as she stared intently at my stiff cock and said "Wow Jeff, you're huge".

I blushed and she stepped closer and stared at my cock as she asked "Why are you so excited? Did I get you excited?" I took the towel from her and she touched my arm and said "Wait" and she stared some more. I swallowed and whispered "Kim" and she said in a low voice "I just want to look for a second. You can never tell your father about this, he would kill me". Kim tore her eyes off my cock and looked me in the eyes and said "Get dressed and come find me. Let's not talk about this... okay?" She left and I dried off and tried to ignore my pounding erection but I was so hard it ached. I went to my room, closed the door, and pulled up NUDEVISTA and went to my favorites and started to rub one out. I was so into pounding one out I didn't know Kim had come into my room until she said "Jeff... honey... don't do that". I was embarrassed and humiliated and literally caught red handed as Kim moved closer and whispered "Shhh..." and asked "Don't you have a girlfriend?" I gasped "Kim, you can't just come in here like this" and she crouched near me and said "Shhh... What are you doing?" I stared at her and said "Making a fucking pizza. What does it look like I'm doing?" Kim said "Don't you be rude to me. I would say we're way past rude at this point. What if your father found out about this?" I got mad and said "You can't blackmail me. I'll tell him you came into my shower and then barged in here". Kim looked like I had slapped her and she said "Oh man you blew it and you don't even realize it". She stood, shook her head, stared me in the eyes and said "You soooooo blew it honey" and she left the room.

I sat there for a moment after she left but my cock was throbbing and my brain was muddled so I didn't get her point. I tried to concentrate but Kim coming in distracted and confused me, so I pulled up a new video of a massage seduction and settled back and resumed stroking my aching cock. I slowly slid my hand the entire length of my shaft and stroked slowly at first, but as the video heated up, I began to rub myself faster. My blood was boiling and I was struggling to hold back as I waited until the guy in the video penetrated the woman. I rubbed and stroked until I was real close and when I couldn't hold back any longer, I eased back in the chair and finished with a powerful explosion into the hand towel I was holding. I felt better but I was frustrated as I squeezed out the last of my cum, wiped up, slouched there for a few minutes, and then got dressed. The next three days Kim was cold to me and dad asked what was wrong at one point but she just smiled at him and said "He was rude but I got it handled. He'll figure it out and apologize". Dad looked at me and said "If you know what's good for you Jeff, you'll apologize because you have no idea what Kim would do for you". I walked over to Kim and stood close and said "I am really sorry for what happened, what I said, and for being rude" and she pulled me into a hug and said "I know. I love you baby". We were hugging and I couldn't help it, I was getting hard and Kim whispered "Really?" I swallowed and whispered "Sorry" and she eased back, blushed, and stared at me before saying "It's fine babe, it's a real compliment". Then she pulled me back into a hug and I swear she ground herself against me... but maybe I imagined it. That night after dinner, Kim told my dad to go to the store and asked me to help her with something and I went up to her bedroom with her. She went into her huge walk in closet and said "We already had one misunderstanding the other day, so please do not turn this into something it's not".

I sat on her bed like she asked and she said she had a couple of outfits she wanted to wear to dinner with my father on Friday, and wanted to be sexy but not slutty. I laughed and she came out of the closet, narrowed her eyes at me, and asked "What's so funny?" I shrugged and said "In the entire time I've known you, you've never come close to slutty" and she blinked and asked "And?" I smiled and said "You already know I think your gorgeous Kim, but you're not slutty. I don't even think you know how to be slutty". Kim said "Hold on. What do you mean I know you think I'm gorgeous. I sort of missed that part". I swallowed and wondered if it had just gotten hotter in there and said "Uh...". Kim came closer and said "Because you get hard... sorry... excited? That's a natural reaction". I blushed and she stared at me and said "Oh my God... do you have a crush on me?" I stared at her and asked "Are you kidding me? Like you didn't know?" Kim blinked and said "Wow" and just went back into the closet and apparently we were done talking about it. She was in there a couple of minutes and then came out in a different blouse and asked "Can we keep this between us if we talk about it?" I stared at her like she was stupid and asked "Are you for real? You think I want dad to know I'm into you?" Kim coughed and stepped back a couple of steps and had her hand in front of her mouth as she asked "Into me?" I said "Yeah. Like I want to be" and she gasped, blushed, and said "Oh my" as she fanned herself with her hand and went back into her closet.

I sat there feeling like an idiot and she came back out a couple of minutes later and asked "Do you think this skirt's too short?" It was a grey knee length skirt that flattered her and I said "It's pretty and looks nice, but you're still young and hot so you could wear something shorter without looking trashy". Kim blinked and said "Is this how you talk to your girlfriends?" I was confused and said "I don't have a girlfriend" and she said "That's their loss. Are you always this honest with the girls?" Dad came in and asked "What's this?" Kim said "I'm trying to seduce him but nothing's working" and dad laughed and said "He's an idiot then. I have to go meet a client for drinks. I'll be home late so I'll just sleep in the guest room". Kim put her hands on her hips and said "So I have to sleep alone again? Why did I marry you exactly?" Dad hugged her and she said "Get off me. If you wanted this you would act like it. You think I don't know you've been seeing Linda again?" Dad glanced at me and I asked "Mom? You're seeing mom again?" He huffed and said "I'm out. I'm not listening to another one of your lectures. I can be friends with my ex wife, there's nothing wrong with it". Kim shouted "Not if you're fucking her. God. I hate you. Get out". Dad said "Fine. I'll talk to you tomorrow when you calm down. Bye son" and he left the room. Kim was furious and she said "UGH. He makes me so mad" and she went back into the closet.

I was shocked and sat there silent with my mind racing. Maybe I heard her wrong. Dad was back with mom? What about Kim? I called to her but she didn't answer so I said her name louder and she said "What?" I went to the door and asked "Are you decent" Kim laughed and said "Depends on who you talk to" and I smiled and said "I think you are". Kim sighed... or maybe exhaled... and said "You just want to sleep with me" and I said "You already figured that out so why act surprised?" Kim came into view and said "No Jeff. I said I know you're into me but I didn't know until now just how much". She was standing there in a sexy white bra and panty set that covered very little and I blushed as she walked closer and said "I know you like me but I am married to your father so that's that. He may not realize it but I'm loyal and loving and he better wake up or he'll lose me". I was staring hard and Kim said "You really want me don't you?" I nodded and she said "It's sweet and flattering and to be honest, if I wasn't married to your father I would probably do it, but I am so we can't". I moved closer and she smiled slightly and said "Behave" as I took her hand and asked "So can we snuggle?" Kim smiled and said "I'm not stupid. I know very well what ‘Netflix and chill' leads to so save it. Yes we can snuggle and maybe flirt a little but you're not getting any of this so forget it".

I stepped closer and asked "What about the modeling show?" Kim sighed and put her hand on my chest and pushed slightly "Don't push your luck. The fact that I'm standing here in lingerie is bad enough. No matter how cute or clever you are, I will never sleep with you". I grinned and she exhaled and said "You're such an ass. You really think you're so slick that I'll just undress for you?" I tried to kiss her but she moved her head and said "No. Now stop" and I sighed and went back to sit on her bed. Kim was out of sight again for a couple of minutes and then she came back into view in a very short black skirt and a tight, miniscule pink bra that really did not cover much at all. I was getting hard fast and had no way to hide it as she came closer and said "Still think I can't be slutty?" I adjusted my cock in my pants and Kim stared at my crotch, blushed, and gasped "Oh my God. Are you hard again?" I blushed and looked away and she said "Seriously, there's no way I excite you that much" and I stared at her and said "More than you'll ever know". Kim sat next to me and her chest was perilously close to spilling out of the pink bra. She said "You're making me feel great with all this attention, but we can't do this honey. I'm 12 years older than you and married to your father. It can't happen. I'm sorry and I'll try not to tease you okay?" I moved closer and Kim sighed "Again with the kiss?" I swallowed and she said "One kiss and no one knows. Got me?" I nodded and Kim exhaled and said "I didn't brush my teeth after dinner" and then she smiled and muttered "Like you care..."

She tilted her head slightly, eased closer, and our lips touched. It felt like the best kiss I have ever had, and she parted her soft lips and let me kiss her full on. Kim slid a hand behind my neck and we kissed for a long time, maybe a couple of minutes. When we parted her eyes were dreamy and she was smiling and said "Wow, you really know how to kiss. The girls don't know what they're missing". I was mesmerized and Kim touched my face and said "You're adorable. You'd do anything I asked wouldn't you?" I sighed and she touched my nose and said "You're so cute. Go play videogames while I change and maybe I'll hang out with you since your father is a real jerk. No porn Jeff. Just relax and that will go away, trust me". I floated to my room and sat on my bed and have no idea how long it was before Kim came in wearing skintight purple and black sweats and a baggy t-shirt. She stood over me and asked "I thought I told you to relax and no porn?" I looked down and I was still hard and shrugged and said "I've just been sitting here". Kim made a face and said "Okay. Let's play something, how about DIABLO?" I got her a controller and we played for a while until she started doing this thing where she would stretch and wince and groan. I asked her what was wrong and she said she thought she had moved wrong changing and she would just stretch later in a hot shower. I grinned and she sighed and said "You wish. You don't give up easy do you?" I smiled and she said "God. Fine, you want me so bad, you can rub my back and shoulders" and I sighed. Kim handed me her controller and said "Shut your door in case he comes home and you can rub my back". I got up and turned the Xbox off, shut the door, and Kim was sitting there in a silky blue bra and her shirt was on the floor and she asked "What?" I smiled and Kim pointed a perfectly manicured finger at her shirt on the floor, then at me and said "That's all that's coming off, so get over it".

I asked "Now what?" Kim shifted around and laid face down on my bed, dragged a pillow over and settled in and I had to catch my breath. Her ass was perfectly sculpted in her tight sweats and they were molded to her body. She caught me staring and smiled and said "Jeff it's cute how you look at me. Some girl is going to be very lucky sweetheart". I got onto the bed and was gentle at first but it was really uncomfortable in jeans with a raging hardon. Kim caught on and said "Okay, you can take your pants off as long as you understand this isn't a porn video. You will not be seducing me so let's be clear about that now okay?" I stared at Kim and she sat up and asked "What? What's wrong sweetie?" I said "Forget you seducing me and all that? How do we explain you having your shirt off and me having my pants off if dad comes home?" Kim smiled a scary, evil smile and said "Me seducing you? Cute. Hand me my phone please honey?" I handed Kim her phone and couldn't help but stare at her firm, round chest struggling to stay in the blue bra. She sighed and asked "Okay, seriously... am I that attractive? You stare at me like I'm lunch". I said "You may not think so, but to me you're possibly the hottest woman I have ever seen". Kim blinked then stared at me for a long moment. She set her phone down and continued to stare at me until finally she blinked and asked "What was I doing?" I said "Calling someone, to be honest I have no idea who".

Kim stared at her phone and then looked at me and asked "Why don't you have a girlfriend exactly?" I shrugged and said "There's a girl at work I like, but I don't think she even notices me". Kim blinked and said "Go ahead and take off your jeans and be quiet, not a word while I'm on the phone. Got me?" I nodded and she waited until I took off my jeans and stood there in my socks, t-shirt and bulging underwear. She picked up her phone, gave me a reminder look, then dialed what looked like my father. Kim played with her hair, smiled at me, then said into the phone "Don't what me. I'm calling to tell you don't come home tonight... no screw you... I'm serious prick, if you come home tonight, I go to my attorney tomorrow... no I won't calm down, you want to cheat on me that's one thing, but to go back to your exes... that's a new kind of low. I'm serious Justin, do not come home tonight and maybe when I calm down I'll call you tomorrow" and she hung up. Kim said "Okay, so here's the ground rules and they're not negotiable. Are you listening?" I nodded and Kim said "If I say stop, you stop. Is that clear?" I said "Yes" and she said "The rest we'll see how it goes but you need to understand, I am not sleeping with you, no matter how relaxed I get, how clever you are, it's not happening". I grinned and Kim huffed "What?" I smiled and asked "Are you trying to convince me or yourself?"

Kim said "I see. You got jokes. That's fine" and she scooted off the bed and crouched to pick up her shirt and I gasped "Wait. Wait, I'm sorry. Kim, I was just joking. I'm sorry". She stared at me and said "You have a choice and you need to consider my mood. We can hang out, you can rub my back, maybe I ignore when your hands wander. Possibly if you behave I let you kiss me a little bit. After we could snuggle and watch some TV and maybe I forget you don't have pants on. Or you can be a smartass and I leave and you can have some fun alone with Porn". I swallowed and asked "Kiss?" Kim sighed and said "That's what you heard? Everything I just said and all you heard was kiss?" I nodded and Kim stepped closer and asked "Do you want to kiss me again?" I saw red and pulled her into what I hoped was a passionate kiss and she resisted and finally pushed me back and said "Jeez. That was like kissing a vacuum cleaner. What happened to the nice kiss from earlier?" Kim said "Calm down, breathe, relax..." and she poked my bulge and said "...and stop trying to ram that thing through me". I blushed and she lifted my shirt and asked "Are you gonna pass out? How hard are you?" I said "Very" and she said "I believe it. Don't move". Kim pulled my shirt up off my arms and head and dropped it and then said "I mean it, just relax and stand still for me". Kim eased my underwear down until my raging erection popped free and she said "Damn, I just... wow... why don't you have a girlfriend?"

My underwear drifted to my feet and I stepped out of them and said "You really need to stop asking me that, it's rude. I just don't have one right now, there's no reason as far as I know". Kim said "Okay, I apologize. You do realize we're alone and your naked, do you want to argue?" I blinked and said "Not really" and Kim said "Okay, stand still and don't turn this into something. No... in fact... get on the bed and relax". I stared at her and she said "Trust me. Massage is an integral part of physical therapy and training. Do you forget what I do for a living?" I got onto the bed and Kim said "Prop the pillows up and lay back" and she was looking around the room and found a hand towel and said "Really? Gross? Have you used this one?" I shook my head and said "It's not like that" and Kim put her hands on her hips and said "I see. Tell me what it's like then". I swallowed and said "Okay, it's like that" and Kim said "Gross. How often do you...?" She stared at me then said "You know what, I don't want to know". She got onto the bed beside me and said "Just relax and you better swear no one ever finds out about this". I wasn't sure what this was, but I said "I swear" and Kim said "Okay then, just relax". She grasped my throbbing cock and asked "How close are you?" I swallowed because her hand was so warm and I just wanted to kiss her but she said "Jeff? How close are you honey?" I said "Soon" and she handed me the hand towel and said "Okay, relax" and she began to slowly slide her warm hand along my hard shaft. I closed my eyes and she said "If I do this for you, I expect my backrub with no tricks".

I opened my eyes and stared at Kim and she smiled and clearly read my mind and said "No honey. It's not gonna happen. This shouldn't be happening. Take what you get and be happy" and she smiled and stared at my cock as she slowly stroked the length of it. I lay there staring at her boobs half encased by her bra and she glanced at me, kept stroking the length of my shaft, and smiled again. Kim sighed and said "Not tonight babe, way too much on the first night. Again, be happy with what you get, there's no rush". Kim was stroking me and my mind was racing. Not tonight? Way too much on the first night? So there was going to be more? I lost my concentration and with no warning my cock throbbed and I exploded in a huge blast that splattered my chest and neck and Kim gasped "Wow..." She held me firmly and stroked slowly as a second jet spurted out onto my stomach and then a third followed it. Kim stroked a bit longer until I was spent and I lay back and closed my eyes in complete euphoria. She said "Jeff, wipe up so I can lay next to you" and I did my best to clean up the mess with the towel and she ended up handing me my t-shirt to wipe up the rest. Kim said "You can stay naked for now but remember my rule. If I say stop we need to stop". There it was again. We. Plus she was willing let me stay naked? I forced myself to calm down and lay back and Kim snuggled against me and asked "How do you feel? You okay?" I said "It felt great. Thank you. Do you want me to uh... do you..." I got quiet and blushed and Kim whispered "Maybe..."

Kim held me and she was almost draped against me and I looked her in the eyes and she smiled and leaned forward so we could kiss. It was a slow, soft kiss and she said "We need to stop" but she leaned close slowly and we kissed again. Kim eased off me and sat up and said "Okay, now for my backrub. I'm going to let you stay naked and trust you, but Jeff, we are not having sex... is that clear?" I nodded and Kim said "I'm gonna take off my sweats because I have an awful wedgie. Can you behave if I'm in my underwear?" I nodded and she said "So look. I know you want to see me naked. I just don't think we should push things okay?" I nodded and she wriggled her sweats down, adjusted her skimpy, silky blue panties, then got back onto the bed and said "Consider yourself lucky baby, very few men have had me in their bedroom, and even less have gotten this far". I stared at Kim wide eyed and she smiled and said "Relax, it was a joke. I mean it was true, but it was still a joke". Kim positioned one of my pillows, shifted around, then smiled at me and said "Okay, appropriate touching please and you can massage me, I'm not made of glass". I started to rub Kim's shoulders and fumbled many times around and near her bra straps, then I worked my way down her back. I wasn't sure, but I didn't think I was anywhere near as sexy or seducing as in the porn videos I have watched.

Kim sighed and smiled at me and asked "Is my bra in the way?" I stared at her and she smiled and said "It's fine, you can unclasp it honey". I fumbled several times and once I had it undone Kim wriggled around and then just like that it was off and she handed it to me. I stared at it and she laughed and said "It won't bite silly. Just drop it on the floor or something". I did and Kim said "Damn. You're hard again" and I realized she was right, my cock was hard and it ached. Kim sighed and sat up and I gasped as her bare breasts were round and firm and perfect. Her nipples were hard and she stared at my cock and said "So I'm thinking we need to stop because you're already really hard again and it's not fair to you". I took a chance and moved closer and Kim watched me intently as I eased her to lay on her back with her head on the pillows. She stared at me as I slowly, gently traced my fingers on and around her firm breasts and teased her nipples. Kim bit her lip and let out the slightest moan before she grabbed my hand and pulled me to kiss her. I was half atop her and my cock was trapped between us as we kissed and Kim was holding me and my mind raced. We kissed for several minutes until I moved my hand down to part her legs and Kim stopped kissing me abruptly and said "No". I froze and Kim said "I'm not mad. You stopped when I asked, but this has to be enough for tonight". She gently pushed past me and said "If you act normal tomorrow, if no one finds out, and if I don't change my mind... we can snuggle tomorrow after work and maybe kiss some more. Still no sex though".

Kim gathered her sweats, her bra and t-shirt and said "Put that towel and shirt in the hamper and no one will know since I do the laundry". She pointed at me, herself, then the bed and said "This... has nothing to do with your father, him running around on me, none of that. I need that to be clear because tomorrow I plan to finally confront him about some things. I do not want you taking sides and if he leaves, you will stay with me if you want to. Okay? This thing... it's our secret Jeff". Then she left the room and I lay back on the bed rock hard and happy and wished my cock would subside. After a couple of minutes it didn't so I peeked out into the hallway and it was dark and quiet, and then Kim came out of her room in a t-shirt and shorts and saw me standing in the hallway naked and hard and laughed. She asked "Can't you go look at some porn for tonight?" I nodded and she said "So we really pushed things and went further than we should have and I don't think me helping you relax twice is a good idea". I swallowed and she came closer and asked "What? A kiss?" I nodded and she smiled and said "You're so cute" and kissed me softly then said "Go do your thing and then go to sleep. Do not drive yourself crazy thinking about me all night, you have class tomorrow as well as work" and she went down the hall and downstairs. Again she said ‘we' and hinted that we had tomorrow to fool around and I told myself I had to be overthinking things.

I went back to my room and watched some porn and it didn't take long before I erupted into a hand towel and then sat there thinking about nothing. I eventually got dressed in sweats and a t-shirt and went downstairs to get a snack and Kim was sitting on the couch in the dark crying. I sat next to her and she held me and cried softly for a while then asked if I was hungry. She washed her face in the sink, dried it with some papertowels, then had a bowl of cereal while I ate a sandwich. We talked about nothing and Kim was staring at me and said "I was really worried that you would be all mopey and moody or worse, clingy and staring at me but you're actually kind of ignoring me". I said "Sorry" and she laughed and said "No it's fine. You want to know a secret that most girls don't want guys to know?" I nodded and Kim said "Ignoring a girl makes them more interested than when you chase them. Just a little tip". Kim came around the table and asked "Hypothetically do you understand that the further we go, the less we can go back?" I said "Since I know I'm out of your league, I'm not worried about it, I know I don't have a shot even if you weren't married to dad". Kim asked "Why would you say that? What makes you think like that?" I stared at Kim and she waited until I said "Because you're like a 15 on a 10 scale and that's just looks. You have an amazing personality and you're so sweet, kind and honest and funny and your body is like supermodel amazing. Kim, if smoking hot was in the dictionary there would be a picture of you".

I put my soda can in recycling and threw away my paper towel and Kim was still staring blankly at the fridge when I said "I love you Kim, goodnight". She muttered "Goodnight" softly as I went back upstairs and got undressed to my underwear, turned off my light and went to sleep. The next morning there was a note on the kitchen table that said "Early appointments. Your father won't be home. Call me later to discuss dinner. Love you. Kim" and there was a $20 for some reason. I figured it was to buy lunch or something and got ready for class, then went to work. I work with a pretty girl named Sarah who is about my age, maybe 22, graduated a year ahead of me, and is flat out gorgeous. She has long black hair, a pretty smile, and an amazing body and we talk when we work together but she mostly ignores me half of the time. We're friends on Facebook, have friends in common, but coincidentally like how I feel about Kim, Sarah is out of my league. Today we were on register next to each other and I smiled at her and she seemed to blow me off and Kim's words haunted me... "Ignoring a girl makes them more interested than when you chase them". I didn't mean to be rude and I wasn't trying to be a jerk, but I just decided it wasn't worth the effort if Sarah was just going to blow me off. By the time I went on break, she called to me and I looked at her but kept walking to the break room. I had barely sat down in the tiny break room when Kim called and said "Real quick, what do you want for dinner? Your father won't be home and we can discuss all that at home". I said "Pizza" and Kim said "Okay, see you at home" and she hung up.

I was playing a game on my phone when Sarah came into the break room in a hurry and stormed right up to me and asked "What is your problem?" I blinked and set my phone on the table and asked "What do you mean?" She said "Why are you being rude to me and ignoring me? Are you mad about something?" I shrugged and she growled "Ughh... you suck" and she stormed to the door but stopped and turned to stare at me. Sarah said "I don't know what your problem is but you need to chill with the attitude". I had nothing to lose and said "Sarah, I know I don't have a chance, but I like you and I just got tired of trying to get your attention. I didn't mean to be rude and I'm sorry". Sarah blinked several times and I could literally see her exhale and relax as she asked "When? When did you try to get my attention? You hardly talk to me so I just figured it was what it was". We stared at each other for a long moment and then I said "So wait... if I asked you out what would you say?" She smiled and said "I don't know, you haven't asked me out". I couldn't think and I just stared at Sarah frozen and helpless and she smiled and said "This is a first" and she moved closer and asked "Do you want to go out with me?" I nodded and Sarah said "Okay, then ask me". I stood and crowded her until she backed against the lockers and we were inches apart. Sarah stared into my eyes and I asked her "Can I kiss you?" She nodded and we kissed softly and then she tilted her head, held my neck, and we kissed long and slow.

We didn't hear the intercom page the first time and we continued to kiss until our manager Helen cleared her throat from the doorway and said to Sarah "This isn't the bathroom". Sarah blushed and smiled at me and said "You still need to ask me" and I was about to when Helen said "Save it until off the clock, I'll pretend I didn't see this". Sarah stopped and took my phone from the table and left with it and I said "Hey" but Helen shook her head and said "Up front just friends, got me?" I nodded and she said "Finish your break and I'll have your phone in the office". I sat there bored for the last 6 minutes since Sarah had my phone, and then I went up to my register and Sarah was all smiles and happy. Helen loomed and said "Don't make me separate the two of you. Jeff, turn your light on and come get your phone". I went into the office and Helen said "I didn't say this, but it took you long enough to ask her out. No nonsense on the front end or I won't schedule the two of you together". I nodded and saw that Sarah had taken a selfie and it was now my background picture, Facebook was open and my status was changed to "In a relationship" and she had added herself to my contacts and saved her number. I walked close to her and she was ringing up a customer and tried to ignore me. I moved close behind her and she smiled but kept ringing and then I whispered "Sarah, will you be my girlfriend? Will you go out with me?" She stopped ringing and said "Yes", smiled at me, brushed her body against mine, then went back to ringing.

We got busy and didn't get a chance to talk but Sarah smiled at me every chance she had and when she got off at 6 she waited by the time clock until I was off. We held hands from the front desk until we got to our cars and Sarah stopped and said "So I have to do a family thing but we could hang out after dinner if you want". I said "I want" and she stared at me and asked "What was the whole ignoring me thing? Why didn't you ever ask me out or say something?" I sighed and said "For some reason I just thought you didn't like me, at least not like that". Sarah held me and looked at me and said "If I ever acted like that I apologize. I just figured you had a girlfriend or wasn't interested". I blinked and she smiled and said "Who cares why or how... right?" I said "Right" and kissed her softly and again she tilted her head and turned it into a slow, romantic kiss. She was holding my hand but trying to go and said "So I hijacked your phone. I have my own ringtone, changed your Facebook status and took a selfie. Maybe if you're lucky you'll get a nicer picture soon". I grinned and she blushed and said "Not that nice, damn. I'm a good girl". I grinned more and she blushed and said "What? I am... sorta...". She winked and said "Call me, text me, blow my phone up... show me you want me and I'll come over and hang out after dinner". I said "Uhhh... how are you supposed to come over without my address?" Sarah blinked and said "Good point. Text it to me. Bye" and she got in her car and drove off.

I drove home and Kim was standing at the dining room table folding laundry and she smiled at me and said "Come here please?" I set my backpack down and went to the table where there were two pizza boxes and folded laundry everywhere. She pointed to a stack of several hand towels and asked "Really?" I swallowed and blushed and she shook her head slowly and said "I always wondered what was going on, why there were always so many hand towels in the wash. Well, now I know. We seriously need to get you a girlfriend honey". I said "So funny thing happened today at work. Your trick with ignoring a girl worked and I asked Sarah out and we kissed and she might come over later". Kim stared at me and said "Wait... what?" I said "This girl Sarah from work who I have liked for almost a year now... it's hard to explain". Kim said "Use words" and wrinkled her nose at me when I stared at her for a moment. She eyed me and said "There's a cockiness about you today, is this because of last night or because of the girl at work?" I moved closer to Kim and she smiled and put her hand on my chest and said "Tell me about the girl from work first, then try your luck". I blinked and Kim smiled and asked "Well?"

I told her about Sarah and how ignoring her frustrated her enough that she confronted me and things just somehow worked out. Kim said "What did I tell you? Now, you need to talk to her like you do me, say the things you say to me". I said "No" and Kim blinked and asked "No?" I said "How I feel about you is way different than how I feel about Sarah". We stared at each other for a long, silent moment and then with a deep sigh Kim said "Okay, enough with that. The pizza literally just got here so let's eat and I want to talk to you about last night, but first, your father won't be home for a couple of days. The short version is he is staying with your mom and trying to decide what he wants. In the meantime, you and I can hang out and take care of each other. We'll be fine I think". I took a slice and realized Kim was still in her work clothes, which usually consisted of spandex of some type. Kim being a personal trainer had it's perks, for me, it was seeing Kim in tight, clingy, body hugging spandex 5 or 6 days a week. Today she had on blue and green spandex shorts and a matching spandex sports bra style top. I looked at Kim and said "You know I think you're beautiful, and by now you know how I feel about you, but today despite all what's going on you just seem happy, at peace. Also, I'm not sure how it's possible, but today you're even hotter than usual, so there's that". Kim blinked and set her half eaten slice down and stared at me, sighed, then said "So we need to talk about this".

I waited and she said "Let's start with last night. You said I was out of your league, wouldn't notice you in an empty room, and that I was off the hotness scale. You gave me like 20 compliments and then just went to bed and thanks to you I was up half the night thinking". I looked Kim in the eye and said "Dad or not, I would kill for a chance to be with you. You may not know or realize how great you are, but I do". Kim sighed and said "See? It's things like that. You should be saying things like that to a girlfriend, not to your stepmom. When you say stuff like that it confuses me Jeff". I blinked and suddenly it was hard to breathe. Confused? About what? Kim drank some soda and said "You need to focus your attention on Sarah. You don't want me, you want the idea of me. There's no point in playing games or lying to you, I love the attention, you're very attractive and last night was sexy and fun. What you want and what I want are vastly different and I think it's fate stepping in with Sarah today before we made a mistake that could have haunted us". I got up and Kim watched me every step as I moved to stand next to her until I stood beside her chair and she slid and turned to face me. My nerves were all firing, my blood was boiling and it was hard to breathe, but just being that close to her sent electricity through my body. I touched Kim's face and she closed her eyes and exhaled then stood and we kissed. It was a long, slow, passionate kiss... one of the best kisses I have ever been a part of, and it was amazing.

Kim eased back and our foreheads touched and she whispered "I know this is what you want Jeff, but we can't... we just can't. Try to understand and know that if things were different... you are in my league and I would give you a shot. As it is, who knows what now and then a little flirting can lead to". I stared at Kim and she smiled and said "Finish eating and call your friend. When she comes over, don't jump all over her, pay attention to her, listen to what she talks about, show her you want her. You trusted me and you got the girl... now listen to me and you'll get to keep her". We ate and talked and I found out dad admitted to cheating on Kim with mom but what surprised me was that he had also been seeing Leslie. Actually, what really surprised me was when Kim told me how she met dad in the first place. She said "I was his trainer at the gym he goes to and he was relentless hitting on me, buying me coffee and flowers and taking me to lunch. I didn't know he was married to Leslie until we had already had sex and to be honest I was pissed off for at least a week". I texted Sarah my address and she replied "I thought you forgot about me" and then she sent "What's the big plan and what should I wear?" I sent her a grinning smiley face and she replied "Nice try. You have to earn that".

Kim grabbed my phone and with a flurry of fingers texted something then handed it back to me and said "You're welcome". I looked and she had sent "I will because you're worth it" and there was dead air for a while and then Sarah replied "See you in a few" and several hearts. Kim said "Just trust me and play it cool. Try to maul her and she'll stop you, but act chill and she will want to make out". I stared at Kim and she sighed "I have to go put clothes on so she doesn't get distracted with jealousy and you don't need the drama". I said "I can help you get dressed" and Kim stared at me for a long moment as if actually considering it. She finally exhaled and said "No, we don't know how long before she gets here and we don't need you all worked up when she arrives. Maybe... maybe... we can fool around later". I smiled and Kim said "Maybe means maybe, not yes, just so you know" and then she said "When Sarah gets here, try to chill and listen to what she talks about, don't try to make moves okay?" I said "She's not my first girlfriend Kim" and she frowned and said "As soon as you're through listening to me just let me know" and I swallowed and said "Sorry". Kim kissed me softly and said "I know you are. Relax okay, you'll be fine" and I said "I wish". Kim stared at me for another long moment and then she said "Sometimes wishes come true... I'm just saying". She touched my nose and then went upstairs and she stopped halfway up and caught me staring at her ass. She asked "Really?" I said "Absolutely" and she smiled and went the rest of the way up.

Sarah arrived a few minutes later, again proving Kim right, that we shouldn't mess around because Sarah could just show up. Kim blew me away as soon as I opened the door and I literally stood there open mouthed, speechless, staring and trying to catch my breath. I finally muttered "Hi" and she smiled and said "So we need to have a rule. Whenever we first see each other we kiss and whenever we part, separate or leave we kiss. Okay?" I breathed "Okay" and Sarah said "You're funny" and stepped into a long, warm kiss. She pushed past me and said "What was that? Come in? Thanks" and I stood there in the doorway and heard Kim ask "Why is the front door open?" Sarah said "He's having some kind of breakdown. Just give him a minute" and Kim and Sarah introduced themselves to each other while I struggled to get my mind right. I was still processing the short, flirty pink and white skirt Sarah barely had on and how much of her long, smooth legs it showed. Also, her top was tight, low cut and showed off half her flat stomach and plenty of her large chest and her hair was pulled back into a long ponytail. I finally shut the door and Sarah and Kim were standing next to each other smiling and staring at me and then I realized Kim was wearing baggy jeans, a baggy sweater and still somehow looked great. I said "So Sarah, this is my awesome stepmom Kim and it's thanks to her that I finally asked you out".

Sarah set her shoulder bag down and it seemed like it was overstuffed but I ignored it because Sarah asked "So what was all that about today?" I said "I don't know. I thought you didn't like me and so I never bothered you even though I have liked you since you first started". Sarah looked at Kim and said "The hot girl curse" and Kim said "Yup. Know it, live it" and Sarah sighed. She came closer and said "I kind of thought you were rude because you would be flirty and friendly and then nothing and I always wondered what was up". I huffed "Don't put this on me. You were always blowing me off so I figured why bother". Sarah just smiled at me and asked "Name one time that wasn't customer or manager related that I ever blew you off or was rude to you". I stood there and thought but nothing came to mind and Sarah finally said "We share blame equally. I could have let you know I was interested. I knew why you asked me to add you on Facebook but never took it further. I would see you out with people I knew but never said hello. However, instead of liking all my posts, why didn't you just ask me out? I would have said yes". Kim asked "Does any of that really matter now?" Sarah said "No" but I said "It does because I just want you to know that I really liked you and to me it felt like you blew me off most of the time". Sarah looked at Kim but she said "Don't look at me, I wasn't there. I'll tell you this though honey. You have no idea what you've got and I like you so far, but if you hurt him... they will never find your body".

Sarah said "Understood" and then she said "As for you. Here's my answer once and for all to you thinking and feeling like I ignored you, blew you off, or didn't like you". Sarah came up to me, pulled me close, and kissed me like I have never been kissed before. I forgot what time it was, what day it was, and pretty much what year it was, and when she stepped back I really couldn't see straight. She looked at Kim... I think... and asked "Can we go up to his room and talk or what's the house rule?" Kim laughed and said "House rule? You realize he's 21? The only rule is be respectful and close the door when you talk. Until his father gets his head out of his ass, it's just Jeff and I so I don't care how much or how often you talk as long as you're respectful" I was able to see straight and process basic thoughts again and Sarah laughed and said "I actually meant talk, but point taken and thanks for being so cool". Kim said "As long as we're crystal clear about what I said. You hurt him I end you, basic math really". "Sarah blinked then sighed and said "Okay, once and for all. I wanted to date you Jeff but wasn't sure why you never asked me out. Sure we get busy at work and I realize there were times you put yourself out there and I probably blew you off. I apologize, I'm sorry, but we're dating now... so maybe we don't need to keep bringing this up?" Kim said "I can live with that" and I said "I'm over it" and Sarah said "Good. Let's go talk about talking" and now I was confused.

Kim said to Sarah "Honey, help yourself to a soda from the fridge and a snack if you want, I need to talk to my son for a second". We went into my father's den slash office and I asked "Son?" and Kim said "Shut it and listen to me". I crowded her and she blushed and whispered "Really? With her right out there?" I pressed Kim against the wall and we kissed furiously and when we parted breathlessly she gasped "Ok so listen..." and I kissed her again. We kissed for at least a minute and Kim shoved me away and said "No, now stop. You don't get to get me all worked up then go upstairs with your girlfriend so behave. Besides, I'm trying to tell you something so chill". I stepped back and she said "Okay good, so listen. You need to trust me. She didn't dress that way on accident. I don't know her but is that how she usually dresses?" I shook my head and said "Now that you mention it no, this is the first time seeing her like that. Why do you think I was so startled?" Kim smiled and said "My point exactly. It may not be tonight, but you're getting some. Take it from me, girls don't dress like that unless we want your attention and want you all over us". I blinked and stared at Kim and she blushed and swallowed as I narrowed my eyes and said "But that means..." Kim said "We can discuss that another time. Play it cool and lay back and let her control the flow and you will definitely be making out tonight". I said "Wait... so all those times you dressed sexy, or let me see you in lingerie, or wore bikinis when you weren't even getting in the pool?"

Kim smiled and said "Anyways, go pay lots of attention to Sarah and if I'm right, she's prepared to fool around with you, probably tonight". I stared at Kim and said "You didn't answer me Kim" and she said "Or I did and you just haven't processed it yet". I was confused and Sarah came to the doorway and asked "What are you guys doing?" Kim said "I was telling him about his father, he's yours now. I'm gonna watch some TV I think". Sarah came over to me, handed me her shoulder bag, and said "If you're through ignoring me, let's go up and talk". Kim smiled and muttered "Talk" as she passed by and left the room and Sarah blushed and said "You need to stop". Sarah took my hand and we went up to my room and she just started looking around and stopped to stare at the stack of hand towels Kim had put on my desk. I blushed and got nervous and Sarah looked at me and asked "Really?" She sat down at my computer and went right to history and said "Damn, do you use this for anything besides porn?" I got frustrated and said "Do you want me to lie? I didn't have a girlfriend and Kim parades around half naked most of the time. What do you expect me to do?" Sarah got up from the chair, brushed by me, closed my door, and then guided me to the far corner of my room and whispered "Don't lie to me okay?" I nodded and she whispered "Really I would like it if you never lied to me, but for the moment, please don't lie to me about this". I said "I won't" and Sarah stared at me for a long moment then whispered "What's going on between you and your stepmom?"
