Chapter 12: Penance

If Kaley had heard the word I had just said, she does not let it show. While I was beginning to sweep the dusty floor of the attic, I saw my cousin out of the corner of my eyes that she was emptying some boxes and checking the contents. It was hard to stay focused on my work, my eyes were attracted like a magnet by the position of my cousin who was bent forward to look for something inside one box and I had to force myself to keep my mouth shut and not drool because of her beautiful ass. By now I had no doubts about my sexuality, I was definitely attracted to women, and my aunt was no an exception as I had thought at the beginning. It is also true that Kaley looked very much like her, but I was sure that I would had a similar reaction to the view of any other beautiful woman.

Kaley began to throw some things that she did not consider useful in a big black plastic bag and when she turned around to see what I was doing, I quickly averted my gaze from her and I focused on my work. Although I had my back towards her, I could feel my cousin’s eyes fixed on me. Perhaps she trying to figure out why I had offered to do a job that she would have given up with a great pleasure. I heard Kaley walk around the attic but I did not dare to turn until the sound of her footsteps became so light that I knew she was out of the attic. I wondered where she had gone and I hoped that she had not left me alone to clean.

Several minutes passed and I had almost finished sweeping the floor when she returned with a white sheet in her hand. I had no intention of asking her why she needed it and I continued my work, however, realizing that my cousin had stayed still and was watching me curiously. I could almost hear the sound of her brain that was working to understand that strange situation, to figure out why her “beloved” cousin was working like a servant. Eventually, Kaley seemed to make a decision and I saw her walking towards an old sofa that seemed to have not been used for many years. My cousin covered the couch with the sheet and, with my amazement, I saw her lie down on it and I finally understood what was the purpose of the sheet, she did not want touch the sofa full of dust. Kaley kicked off her flip-flops that ended several meters away from the couch and put her feet on the back of the sofa, crossing her legs at the ankle and taking a position, in my opinion, not too comfortable.

- You can start washing the floor - Kaley ordered imperiously

I took the mop and I began to work thinking how easily my cousin had gotten used to give me orders. I could feel my body tremble, it was obvious that that humiliation was doing, once again, a great effect on me.

- There, it is still dirty - she said at one point, taking me by surprise, and pointing to the point that it seemed that I had overlooked.

I did not answer, but I hastened to clean up where she had said.

- There, too - she said

Once again I wiped immediately the part of the floor that was “dirty”. Kaley seemed to appreciate my immediate response and she began to give me an order after another, laughing loudly while I ran all around the attic trying to obey as fast as possible to my cousin who, meanwhile, relaxed in the couch.

How pathetic I had to look to her eyes at that moment? Certainly, in that attic running back and forth almost like a dog I did not seem absolutely the great rival of that beauty redhead who was dangling her foot on the back of the sofa, making (unknowingly) excite me more and more.

- Brings those boxes here - Kaley said when the floor was now spotless.

I took the heavy and dusty boxes and I brought them near the couch as I was requested

- Pull out what is inside, calmly, one by one. Then I’ll tell you if it will be thrown in the trash or stored again-

I watched my cousin for a moment, thinking that that was the work that she was doing before and now she was leaving it to me. She looked at me in turn with her beautiful green eyes and noticing my perplexity, she kept her eyes fixed on mine as if to challenge me to disobey her. Eventually, unable to resist longer those eyes, defeated, I looked down humbly on the floor and she giggled as I sat on the floor and I began to open the first box.

- Trash - she said when I took out the first object, then with the second said -Store -

I heard repeating those two words for more than an hour, I continued my work with my back more and more sore while my cousin was relaxing on the couch with a big smile on her face, having fun controlling me in that way. As I put the objects that had been called “junk” in the big black plastic bag, I kept wondering what was thinking Kaley about my sudden submissive nature. In the end I was always the number one in the school plays, I had always been the star and I was still her captain.When even the last box was emptied from its useless things, there was not much more to do in the attic. I looked Kaley to know what else to do and she giggled, pleased that I was waiting for another order.

- Take my flip flops - she said

Without thinking of how I could look stupid, I crawled towards her flip flops and I returned the same way near the couch while Kaley was getting up and I could not help but compare myself to a dog that brought back slippers to his master.

“Well, at least I do not have them in my mouth,” I thought, watching my cousin.

She giggled again when she saw me kneeling at her feet and when our eyes met I realized that our relationship would never been the same again and she also had to figure it out because, at one point, she moved slightly her leg toward me. Without even the need to receive an order, I leaned over and I put the flip flops at her feet that I could now see up close now and I had the very strong temptation to kiss them. Kaley was delighted by that my gesture of submission and she laughed loudly when she patted on my head as if I was a dog.

- Dust off that piano and then come down - she said, heading for the exit, leaving me to work alone and leaving me on my knees more and more humiliated.

It did not take too long to remove the dust from the piano that looked really very old. When I finished my work, I took a deep breath and I walked out of the attic, ready to face again Kaley and trying to predict what other humiliation were waiting for me. I found my cousin sitting on the couch in the living room, talking to her mother. My aunt smiled softly when she saw me and invited me to sit beside her. I approached the couch and it seemed a bit strange not kneel at the feet of my Mistress, but of course that was not possible with Kaley in the same room.
