My Boy Cousin

We grew up in a tight multigenerational household. No one gad a bed of their own. Having to choose between sleeping with my Nona or my cousin, I jumped in bed with my cousin. In an attempt to avoid nonsense we had to sleep head to toe. Well let me just say, a penis can smell its way to a girl. Like a rattlesnake, the penis can strike quick and leave its nonsense behind, or in the behind depending.

My cousin was older, and I didn't dislike him. Under the cover if darkness, quiet as a church mouse I could get into position. My sisters and even my mother turned their back until I was again head to toe with my cousin. It was our Nona that was the problem, but she was hard if hearing.

When things got easier, our father got a promotion, two bedrooms allowed for boy girl separation. But the girl's room was an easy entry, a sister made room when my cousin visited. Our Nona always had something negative to say, but no one paid her any attention. Keeping a young man from his favorite cousin was a loosing proposition.

As young adults he has dinner with me, sometimes breakfast too. My roommate is an only child, she can't understand it. I have many nights thought about what she would do if my cousin got lost one night and found himself in her room.
