The summer after middle school, my family moved into a new area and into a more rural setting. We lived like 10 miles out in farmerville USA. Our place was between 2 farms. It was a really nice place, but didn't have any place secluded or private to sunbathe in. The farmer next to us has a large field between our house and his that always had tall grass in it. I thought it would be a good place to tan on nice days, so I went over and asked him if I could use his field to tan.

On the first really nice day of that Summer, I went over and asked him if I could use his field to tan. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but I was in my bikini and a semi sheer tunic to cover myself with my towel wrapped around my middle. When I knocked on the door, it took a minute for him to get there, he looked like he must have escaped from a mummy movie, he was the leatheryest old man I'd ever seen. I remember thinking that he must have been 1000 years old at least. He came to the door mumbling something about not wanting to buy anything, but when he saw me he stopped and just stared for a moment. At that time my blonde hair was down to my lower back, my breasts were developing, but I already took a b cup, and I was very much in shape.

I introduced myself, telling him I was from the new family that moved in next door, then asked him if it would be alright to use his field for sunbathing. He started muttering something I couldn't understand and finally an "OK". I walked out in the field about half way between his house and ours and laid my towel out and started to take in the sun. It was a perfect location, no shadow from anything and the long grass totally gave me privacy.

After a couple times in the field, I decided that I wanted to try topless sunbathing. I went out dressed in my usual bikini, but after I laid down I took off my top. It really felt good to have the sun on my bare skin. A few minutes later I decided to go bare. It felt wonderful and I was not in view of anyone, just me and the tall grass. I sunbathed this way the rest of the summer and until I graduated high school, then when ever I would come home from college. I always had a flawless all over tan.

Last weekend there was a knock on my dorm room door, and when I opened it, there was a guy in a suit there, he introduced himself as a lawyer from a firm in the town my parents lived. He explained that our neighbor, Mr Smythe--the one who's field I sunbathed in, had died recently and his farm had been sold. He didn't have any relatives and he had previously the law firm to dispose of his property. He told me Mr Smythe had a very soft spot in his heart for me, then handed me a large manila envelope, then excused himself.

Inside I found another smaller envelope containing a very large check. One that will pay for my student loans for my undergraduate and easily pay for the rest of my graduate degree plus a lot more. I just stood there crying and shaking. I've never seen such a big check before. I poured some wine and sat down, and just cried wondering why this old guy had given me such a gift. About the second glass of wine I had calmed down enough to take notice if anything else was in the big envelope. I dumped it out in my lap and there was another envelope, not fresh and new like the one with the check, but kind of wrinkled and a little dirty. I opened it and read the note it contained.

Dear girl,
Thank you.
L.J. Smythe

Was all it said, but then I found a couple pictures in the bottom of the envelope. One was of me a few years ago laying naked in the field. It had obviously been taken with the aid of a telephoto lens, and the second picture was of an upstairs window looking out over the field. I started crying again.

I must have looked at those pictures and the check 1000 times, but last night I noticed something about the wall under the window. There are a lot of stains running down the wall under that window and a lot of dried stuff on the window ledge.

Now my wonderful gift has turned into a payment for his sordid fantasies, and I feel like a whore.
