There were occasions when he would see her in the garden, the sun in her blonde hair. She would be seen wearing a pair of shorts that flattered her slender legs, a cotton cami-top revealing the firmness of pert breasts and toned, tanned, arms. On other occasions, he would glimpse her by the swimming pool as he tended to the grass cutting; but as the summer days grew longer, and hotter, the need for that lessened.
    
    The sight of her, at times, made him regret that there were no girls, or young women, amongst the group of workers to distract him from aberrant thoughts…of him going with her, all thoughts of Margaux being his aunt dispelled by the sight of a vibrant woman in her bikini, sunning herself by the pool. It was a sight that aroused in him and he often felt the gnaw of longing for her, the press of his hardening prick in his shorts.
    
    At supper, they would talk of inconsequential things and Louis would direct proceedings, even when guests were around or came to stay.

    He remembered meeting Margaux’s soft smile and thinking how he would be able to endure being in the house alone with her, knowing that he lusted after her and that he felt a teenager’s crush on the woman that she was seen to be. All of that had evolved into an emotion so much deeper and what her summer clothes modestly, but surely, revealed to his gaze.
