Free Sharing the Shower (Taboo Erotica) by Anya Merchant

CHAPTER 1
     
    Tim was not the biggest fan of the sun. It hung in the summer sky, which was, of course, free of cloud cover, shining its scorching rays down on him mercilessly. He tried to focus on the grass as he pushed the old, rusty, lawnmower forward. It’s the summer of my senior year, why can’t I be at the beach?
    “I signed on to help you with your chores, not to get heat stroke.” Brett, Tim’s best friend since grade school, was manning the hedge clippers, making a somewhat futile attempt at trimming the weeds in the spots the mower couldn’t reach.
    “We’ll finish soon enough,” said Tim. “Hopefully…” He took a hand off the mower and wiped sweat from his brow.
    “Man, of all the things I could have spent today doing, I get tricked into working for free…” Brett closed and opened the clippers to make a couple of quick cuts, accentuating his words as he spoke.
    “Hey, you offered,” said Tim. “Besides, you won’t have anyone to hang out with for the weekend without me. My stepmom made it clear that the lawn has to be done before I can go anywhere.”
    “I’m surprised you guys even still have one, given how bad the drought has been.”
    Tim shrugged. I’m a little surprised, myself…
    “Good work, boys!” Vanessa, Tim’s stepmom, stepped out into the yard through the front door. For a moment, the work was forgotten as both of them turned to look at her.
    Vanessa had married Tim’s father almost 17 years ago, shortly before his second birthday. She’d been the only mother that he’d ever known, his biological mother having passed away shortly after his birth. Vanessa was everything Tim could ask for in a mom, and much, much more.
    “Mrs. Fields…” Brett stared at Vanessa slack jawed as she slowly made her way across the lawn. She was wearing a white summer dress that was low cut in the front and high on her thighs at the bottom. Her big boobs threatened to pop right out of it, and her butt was only barely contained, swaying from side to side in seductive glory with every step.
    “I thought you and your friend could use some encouragement.” Vanessa crossed her arms and smiled at Tim. “I can whip you up some lemonade if you’d like.”
    There was something about his mom’s voice that made the hairs on the back of Tim’s neck tingle with excitement. She was the goddess of the neighborhood, and it was impossible for him to ignore how his friends and even some of the married men on the block looked at her.
    “Uh, sure mom,” said Tim. “We’re just finishing up.”
    “You look amazing, Mrs. Fields!” Brett’s eyes were focused on Tim’s mom’s body with an intensity that was almost a little rude. “That dress… I mean, wow! You should wear it more often!”
    “Aww, you’re so sweet, Brett.” Vanessa walked over and set a hand on his shoulder. Tim felt his cheeks flush with red hot embarrassment. Why does she insist on being so friendly, all the time?
    “It’s true, Mrs. Fields!” Brett smiled at her and Tim felt his stomach knot up. “You could be a model or something, you’re way hotter than most of the girls in the magazines.”
    Vanessa laughed and squeezed Brett’s shoulder.
    “Unfortunately, he has to head home soon. Isn’t that right, Brett?” Tim spoke through clenched teeth, trying to keep his voice level. My friends all hit on her as though I’m not even here, as though she’s not even my mom…
    Brett looked a little deflated, but he scratched his head and set the hedge clippers down.
    “Uh, yeah, I guess I do,” he said. “Sorry, Tim, I forgot about my, uh, appointment.”
    “Oh, that’s too bad.” Vanessa took a step back and smoothed out her skirt. “I guess you’ll have to drink all the lemonade I made, sweetie.”
    “Yeah mom, I guess so.” Tim smiled and breathed a sigh of strangely awkward relief. It’s not my job to protect mom from horny teenagers. Why do I even care so much?
    “Give me a call later today, Tim. Preferably
