A Neighborly Gesture

Vicki paused at the front door and held the screen open for me. The sun flashed across her face, which was slightly flushed and gleamed with a light sheen of sweat. Her magnificent breasts presented a pleasant obstacle, which I eased past rather clumsily, brushing an arm against one in the process. It was delightful. We both smiled.

"Thanks for coming over on such short notice Dan," Vicki said, as she led me toward the back of the house. Her voice was like liquid gold, soft, rich, and hard to ignore. I admired the tight musculature of her ass cheeks flexing seductively inside the lightweight bicycle shorts she wore. Not a hint of a panty line either—which meant she either wore a thong, or nothing at all underneath. As we reached the kitchen and the open back door, I wondered what she'd think if she knew what I was wearing under my sweats.

"It's right out here," Vicki said, interrupting my thoughts.

I followed her out the back door. Just off the small porch and against the house footing was a small area with freshly turned earth. Leaning against the house was a new wooden trellis, freshly stained judging from the sheen and the smell of paint thinner. She set the hammer down next to a small can of nails and then grabbed the trellis, pulling it upright until the top edge of a few stakes fit just under the house eave.

"See how this will hold it up?" Vicki beamed proudly. "All we have to do is nail a few of these stakes to the backside of the eave board. . ."

"Fascia," I corrected.

"Yes," the fascia. Her voice betrayed a hint of annoyance, but she was still smiling and holding the trellis. "Do you think you could get up there and hammer it in place while I hold it? There's a ladder right there."

I brought the stepladder over and set it up. There wasn't enough room between the trellis and the side of the house, so I set it in front, figuring I could reach through the latticework and get the nails hammered in. I put a few nails between my teeth and got up on the ladder, reaching and twisting to get into position.
