I should’ve felt… wrong. It was forbidden, taboo, not even something I’d admitted to myself I wanted…
It was finally the summer after graduation! No obligations, no stress... nothing to get me into trouble at all, until the man of the house unexpectedly found himself at home, too. Before we knew it we were spending every moment together! Sunbathing, swimming, laughing... until the woman of the house had to go away on a work vacation, leaving us all alone with the unspoken taboo sexual tension we'd been trying to ignore. To make matters worse, the air conditioner breaks, making us as hot on the outside as we feel on the inside.
What happens when our hormones go crazy and we can't control ourselves any longer? When the curiosity between us becomes too much to ignore? Will we stop ourselves, or will he give it to my innocent, untouched body hard and unprotected despite the consequences?

The whole mysterious affair puzzled Cliff. To have those queer strangers appear suddenly at Aunt Lucy’s with their unusual questions threw him a little off his stride. “No,” he answered the stocky Spaniard with the crafty, shifty eyes, “I did not get a letter from Peru. Who wrote it? Is it from my father? How do you know about it?” While the Spaniard interpreted the answer to his companion Cliff studied them both. If the tall, stalwart man with copper skin and piercing eyes was not an Indian, Cliff had never seen a truthful picture of one. He wore European clothes but he was not at his ease in them. While he listened to the queer language which the Spaniard used he kept his eyes boring Cliff and Cliff saw that his denial was not believed. Copper-skin muttered something and the Spaniard turned again to Cliff. “You not get letter? Mi amigo, my friend, say it mail ‘nine, ten week’ ago.” “I can’t help that,” Cliff declared, “It hasn’t come. Who is it from—my father?” Cliff had not heard from his father in nearly five years: naturally he was anxious about the scholar who studied ancient civilizations and who had gone to Peru to write a book about the Incas.
