Aunt Neighbor

Chapter 34 : Dutch kisses

"You okay?" I asked. "You're unusually... reflective."

"I'm fine," she said, smiling at me, her eyes shining. "I'm just happy, I guess. Happy to be out with you, happy to have a new life, happy to do what we're about to do. I guess I'm just feeling blessed somehow. Karen was asking me if I was alright, you know, with our mom dying and all the upheaval. But I'd had plenty of time to come to terms with it, while we were in Cardiff. You've all made it so much easier. Especially you, my lover. It was unexpected but so welcome."

"I can identify with that," I mused. "How often can a guy say the perfect girl came along and truly mean it?"

"Even though... I'm your... even though we're related?" she asked in a very quiet voice.

"I'll be honest, Alexa, I have no idea what to do about that," I said honestly. "Like none. But that doesn't mean you're not the most amazing and perfect girl I've ever met. Like you said the other night, you were dropped in my lap for a reason."

She smiled and was silent for a while longer while I drove into the downtown core, where I knew lots of places she'd been keen to shop awaited us. She grew more animated and more of her normal, cheerful self as we got downtown. I pointed out many stores and boutiques and she kept making small verbal notes on her phone about visiting them.

"Where shall we go first?" I asked.

"Well, I did tell Karen I wanted to go shopping, so I'd best find a new dress, at the very least," she stated. "After that, we'll find a deli and some other food stores so we can make a picnic."

"I'm amazed you can eat at all after that titan breakfast," I laughed. "Mom's not gonna eat for a week!"

"But not surprisingly you and your father can," she pointed out, smirking. "God save you two if your metabolisms ever slow down. And as for me, well, I need my energy to keep up sexually with a young buck like you."

I laughed so hard I almost lost control of the wheel. I look at her, my eyes almost stinging from tears. "You? Having to keep up with me? That is the most flattering lie I've ever heard. I need those breakfasts so I'll be able to satisfy you."

Alexa giggled. "I might have a bit of a sexual appetite."

She pointed out a store we were passing by and I pulled in and parked, opening her door for her. I found myself especially eager to accommodate Alexa, to be polite and gentlemanly for her. And it wasn't just because we were going to finally make love that afternoon, this was something more. I wanted to make her happy, to feel special. It was a compelling need that I couldn't readily explain.

One good thing about Alexa was that she wasn't one for endless dithering in clothing stores. It's not that she was like a man, where she knew what she wanted, bought it and left, but she moved efficiently, assessed her options and opinions, tried things on and made decisions, all the while exuding an air of romantic merriment. Watching her shop was... fun.

"I'm beginning to think there's nothing you can't make pretty," I said as I watched her hold a dress in front of herself. She looked at me and smiled. "I meant that I normally hate clothes shopping," I explained. "But you, I could watch you do it forever. Damned if I'm not enjoying myself."

She smiled. "You sure love earning those Dutch kisses, don't you?" she purred. She looked side-to-side, making sure no one could hear her. "Are you looking forward to sneaking into and making love in a change room one day as much as I am?" she whispered to me. I nodded, loving how involved I felt in her happiness.

She found a pretty dress and purchased it, one she promised we'd be using a lot in the future. We then visited a farmer's market, where we picked up the supplies for our picnic. Lastly we purchased some wine and some small glasses before we began our trek out to the nature trail. Our grove awaited.

We arrived and parked quickly, with me pulling out the picnic basket and also the heavy tote of other goods. Alexa took the basket from me and we began our walk. We took pictures along the way and I smiled and squeezed her hand.

"You sure do love pictures." I said to her.

"I'm usually not overboard about it like this," she said, pausing to take one of the two of us. "But this is my new life and I want to remember it in its infancy. I've only been here four days and look at how wonderful things have become- I have a loving family, a prestigious university to attend..."

She turned to look at me now. "And a wonderful lover."

I smirked, hoping what I was about to say wouldn't break the moment. "I guess I'm the extra-loving part of your family."

She pressed her forehead to my shoulder and giggled. "You are so funny..." she whispered.

We resumed our walk along the trail, just talking about whatever came to mind until we arrived at the little path that veered down the slope. It was mostly obscured by branches and thicket, so we were quite certain people hardly ever noticed it. We walked down it, hand-in-hand. I subtly looked at my watch and began timing our trek through the tangle of trees until we arrived at the grove nine minutes later- today was a perfect day, balmy and blue skies. The thick canopy of leaves over us allowed those magical rays of sunlight in while the emerald grass was soft and springy beneath us. The stream's crystal waters bubbled happily on their way, accompanied by the song of birds. There were low-growing patches of blue and white flowers everywhere. A large, sturdy and flat rock anchored one corner of the clearance.

"It's even more beautiful than it was yesterday," she breathed. "Have you ever seen anything more beautiful, Alex?"

"Answering that question will earn me a Dutch kiss marathon, but yes, it's absolutely wonderful." I agreed. She smiled at me, blushing and squeezed my hand. She put down the basket while I dropped the big tote and she open it to remove a large blanket. We kept this aside for our picnic, when we were finally hungry.

"I don't think we'll need it before then," she said, smiling at me. "This grass looks and feels wonderful."

We'd put everything down and aside and stood silently for a moment. Alexa looked up at me shyly and a naughty smile then played over her face. "Are you ready to make love to me, Alex?"

I nodded and she stepped up to me. We put our arms around each other, kissing deeply and without holding back. There was a sense of relief this this kiss, like we were finally free. We steadily pulled my shirt off, followed by unbuckling and taking off my pants. She nuzzled her cheek against my boxers for a moment before pulling them down and giving my swelling cock a single kiss.

I raised her to her feet and then gently pulled her sundress over her head, leaving her gloriously naked. She hadn't been wearing a bra or panties and I almost shivered in delight at the sight of her body. We wrapped our arms around one another and kissed again, happy to be naked together. Our tongues tangled as our hands wandered and caressed.
