Untamed Passion

SECRET PASSION

“Keri, I’m going to need you every weekday this summer,” Vince Anderson said. “I’ve got to finish this book by the end of August, and Mark is just too much for me to handle…and of course, I’ll need you some nights as well. Do you think there’s any way you could just move into the room next to his and stay here with us for the summer? I can pay you pretty well for a full-time job, better than minimum wage, anyway.” He named a figure that surprised her…it was much more than she could make as a waitress or at any of the other summer jobs that the kids at school usually got.

“I’ll check with my folks Mr. Anderson,” she said, “but I don’t think there will be a problem.” Her parents lived less than two blocks away in a very small and cramped house with her five brothers and sisters. Having her gone for the summer would ease the space problem and lower their grocery costs…not to mention the money it would add to her college fund. Frankly, Keri was looking forward to spending the summer here in Mr. Anderson’s beautiful and spacious home…and he certainly ate better than the Payne family did. She had never even seen dried beans or macaroni and cheese in his pantry.

“Great, Keri, but if there are any problems with your parents, I’ll be glad to talk with them for you.” He grinned at her, a wide and infectious grin that had her smiling along with him. “Thanks, hon, that’s a load off my mind… it’s going to be a real bitch…oops, sorry!” he said. “It’s going to be hard to get this done and I’ll be working late just about every night.”

Keri had been held back a year due to a childhood illness, and she had turned eighteen just before the summer of her junior year. Even though she had her senior year in front of her, she was very conscious of the expense of college…much more than her parents could afford, even with financial aid and attending the local Junior College for her first two years. Working full-time for Vince Anderson would deal a major blow to her tuition expenses,

She needn’t have worried, her parents seemed relieved that she would be away for the summer. Her mother gave her the only problem she experienced about the job.

After she had told her parents of the offer, her mother, still a very attractive woman after having six children, came into her bedroom just before she went to sleep. “If you need to take some time off this summer baby,” her mother said with a slight hitch to her voice, “I’d be happy to fill in for you.” Keri stared at her mother for a moment…she seemed younger all of a sudden, and her nipples were pressing hard against the fabric of her house dress. “Mr. Anderson, well, he’s good looking Keri…”

Keri was speechless. Her mother had the hots for Mr. Anderson! For a moment, Keri had an overpowering urge to laugh, but she managed to keep a straight face. “I’ll keep that in mind, Mom, said.

He said other patted her hand and kissed her cheek. “You be careful over there this summer baby,” she said. “He’s a good-looking man and he’s rich compared to us. You wouldn’t be the first young girl to open her knees for a handsome young guy like that.” Her mother’s face clouded at some old memory, and for a moment she seemed her age again and she took her daughter’s hand in her own. “If you repeat this baby, I’ll swear you’re lying.” The look on her mom’s face was serious, more serious than Keri had ever seen her. “I’m not encouraging you Keri, but I’m talking to you

woman to woman for the first time in your life. Just keep in mind that when you’re older, sometimes your biggest regrets are of the things you didn’t do. Even though you’re young, trust your feelings. You only get to live this summer once.”

Stunned, Keri watched her mother leave the bedroom. She would have sworn her mother had just told her to fuck her employer if she got a chance. Keri had never even thought of him that way.

The first week of the summer had passed quickly, and Mark was a totally cute boy of three who was into everything. On Saturday night, she had tucked the boy into bed about seven thirty and she had gone to the kitchen to get a soft drink. Vince was at the refrigerator getting a beer and he looked up to see her coming into the kitchen. He tossed her a beer with a grin, “Here, we can celebrate your first week in style. I’m taking the night off and going for a dip in the pool…want to come along?”

She couldn’t believe he’d given her a beer. She’d tasted beer before but she’d never had one all to herself, and she was very flattered that he was going to let her drink…kind of like an adult. “I didn’t even bring a swimsuit Mr. Anderson,” she said apologetically.

“You can swim in your shorts and tee shirt,” he said, “or you can swim in panties and bra…unless you’re shopping at Victoria’s Secret, they probably cover up more than a swimsuit nowadays anyway. Hey, listen,” he said,

“The Mr. Anderson stuff makes me feel old as hell, why don’t you just call me Vince?” There was no guile in his voice, and she took what he said at face value. She wasn’t wearing a bra, so the tee shirt would stay on, and she’d decide about the shorts when she got to the pool.

“Okay Vince,” she said with a grin that matched his own, “lead on!” They walked out to the pool. Tipping his beer back and taking a deep draught, Vince set the beer down and stripped off his tee shirt. His khaki trousers followed and he draped them across the back of a lawn chair before running over and diving into the clear water of the pool. Keri felt her knees weaken and had to sit down on the chaise longue. Vince’s body was incredible. Every inch of him was bronzed and tan and his lean body rippled with muscles…the man was ripped. His broad chest and narrow hips accented the six-pack abs on his flat belly, and the powerful muscles of his thighs bulged when he ran. Worst of all, he wore a pair of Speedos that barely covered him and did nothing at all to conceal the huge bulge on his

crotch.
