Chapter 3

Things had been quiet for me recently; nothing much of note had happened. Personal resolutions aside, there just hadn’t been many opportunities to try anything. I had made a lot of headway very quickly with my ability, but after all the progress, I hadn’t really attempted much. For a while I had had grand plans to seduce Alexis, to turn her into some sort of sex craved slave ... but I hadn’t.

Part of that was the morality of the situation. What gave me the right to wilfully destroy her family for my own desires? Things had been improving for her home life lately; Ben seemed more attentive. Their child had grown old enough to leave at daycare for a few hours, freeing up time for them to spend time together, and for Alexis to have a bit of a life outside of home. Even when she was looking after the child, she could now put a kids movie on and do her own thing to some extent.

Ben still went on a business trip once a month, and usually took their kid to stay at his parents. But it no longer seemed a divisive issue. I could tell Alexis was putting more effort in to their relationship; whether it was out of guilt or not, I didn’t know.

As for the two of us, we never quite got back to the relationship we had before. Sometimes it would seem as though she would momentarily forgot about what happened between us, teasing and joking like old times. But I always saw the spark of recognition flare when she thought she was getting too close. She would pull away, make some excuse to leave.

As for me, I never forgot what happened. The feel of her straddling my lap, what she looked like on her knees with my cock in her mouth ... It was burned into my brain. So I kept my distance as well, not wanting to tempt myself.

And I was tempted.

But I was good. Oh, I had the occasional encounter here or there, but nothing planned. They were more along the lines of opportunities seized. For all I know, that would have been the track my life took - taking advantage of situations as they came, not taking control.

But that was about to change.

I left work early this day, it being a little before noon by the time I got back home. I usually would have been at work for hours yet, but I had felt a bit off this morning, and had decided to take a sick day.

Alexis was home with her child; she was used to having the day to herself. I had a vague idea we could have coffee and chat for a bit, either that I could just chill in front of the computer by myself. I didn’t particularly mind, it was just nice to have the day off.

I didn’t try to be quiet as I unlocked the door and let myself in, but at the same time I wasn’t unnecessarily noisy either. I stood in the hallway pocketing my keys for a few moments; I could see through to the living room where the kid was in a high chair watching some kind of colourful kids movie. I looked around curiously for Alexis, but couldn’t see her anywhere. That was strange.

I was going to call out, but at that moment hey baby started crying. Before I could go to see what was the matter, Alexis came out.

I stared, frozen. My eyes drinking in the sight.

She was completely nude.

She must have taken the opportunity while the movie was on, and jumped in the shower. Her hair was up, wrapped in a white towel. Her creamy white skin was flushed pink from the heat of the shower, beads of water still graced her skin.

“Shh shh, what’s the matter sweetie?” Alexis crooned soothingly as she made her way over. She didn’t see me - I had quickly moved backwards to the doorway. The way the house was set up she would have to specially look towards me to see me; and she was clearly expecting to have the house to herself.

She leant forward slightly, fussing over her child. I drank in every line of her body greedily. Her legs and thighs were smooth and rounded, moving gracefully upwards to a wide, but perfectly proportioned rear end. Her thighs were pressed together, but I could still see the hint of her pussy between her legs.

I could see the dimples on her lower back, moving up her long and slender torso ... basically the woman that I had been suppressing my desire for ever since our first encounter, was standing completely naked before me and had no idea I was even there.

I was completely entranced by the sheer voyeuristic nature of the moment, only coming back to myself when I saw Alexis about to head back to the bathroom. Thinking quickly, I pressed myself as far into the corner of the entry as I could, and rattled the door as though someone was unlocking it from the outside. I opened the door and moved so it looked like I was just coming in.

“Hello, anyone home?” I pretended to fumble with my back and keys, making more noise than was necessary. I heard a squeak of surprise, then bare feet hitting the tiles as Alexis made a run back to the bathroom.

When she came out she found me by the laughing baby, making faces for her amusement. Alexis was now wrapped in a robe, modesty protected as far as she knew. The robe was quite sheer though; she had gone for speed over getting properly dressed. It was one of those satiny ones, ending just below her mid-thigh. It wasn’t see-through, but I could easily see her erect nipples pressed against the fabric, and I was acutely aware that she was only holding it closed with one hand.

“I wasn’t expecting you home!” She said, breathless and flushed.

“Yeah, sorry.” I smiled at her. “Didn’t mean to startle you, I finished early today.”

“It’s okay. If you’d come home a few minutes earlier though, you would have got an eyeful!” I feigned a look of confused curiosity at her, and she coughed uncomfortably, blushing slightly. “Never mind.”

My control was getting a bit frayed at this point. To be honest, I have no idea how I was still holding back my ability, in front of her child or not. And even though I was refraining from a full use, I could tell that small amounts were escaping me. Nothing major, but Alexis was casting furtive looks at me, subconsciously playing with the side of the robe she was holding closed. I had to make a decision here.

“If you want to have a shower or whatever, I can watch her if you like.”

“I was just finishing up, but thanks! I wont be long.”

Alexis turned and made her way back up the hallway to the bathroom, moving quickly enough that the back of her robe was flipping up slightly with her stride. The glimpse of her bare thigh, knowing she had nothing on underneath, was somehow almost as erotic as seeing her naked.
