Of course, I go

"We are having a cookout this afternoon and Jack and I were wondering if you'd care to join us? " She asked with a tentative smile. "That sounds like a great idea," I replied, my curiosity piqued at the thought of spending more time with my new neighbors. "I'd love to come." Chloe's eyes lit up with pleasure and she nodded. "Great! The cookout starts around four."

At that moment, Chloe wore a casual outfit consisting of a white tee shirt and pair of black yoga pants. Her blonde hair was pulled back in a loose ponytail, revealing her sharp features and piercing blue eyes. "Can I bring anything?" I asked, trying to keep my tone and gaze polite. The memory of her in nothing but her bra and panties walking around her bedroom repeating over and over again in my mind as I looked at her. "Just yourself," she assures me with a broad smile. "See you then," Chloe says as she turns and heads back towards her own house. I stand there, watching her retreating form, my gaze lingering on her shapely ass in her tight black yoga pants until she disappears around the corner of her house. The memory of what I saw earlier continues to haunt me, but I try to push it aside as I go about preparing for the cookout.

As the afternoon progresses, I find myself growing increasingly anxious about the cookout. Part of me is excited to spend more time with Chloe and her family, but another part of me can't shake the guilt and curiosity that has been stirred up by my earlier voyeurism. Finally it is four o'clock, as I find myself approaching the Grayson's house carrying a six-pack of beer. As I step onto their front porch, I'm immediately greeted by the warm smell of barbecue and the sounds of laughter and children playing. Inside, the house is filled with people chatting and enjoying each other's company. Chloe sees me and comes over with a warm smile on her face. "Hi , I'm so glad you could make it, Seth," Chloe greets me with a hug, her body warm against mine. I smile nervously and return her greeting. "Thank you for inviting me." "Don't mention it," she says with a grin, leading me towards the backyard. As we make our way towards the backyard, I can't help but notice the way Chloe moves. There's something about her, something sensual and alluring that catches my eye. She walks with a sway to her hips, her blonde hair bouncing gently against her back.

We reach the backyard where Jack is standing next to a large grill, flipping burgers and chatting with the other guests. He nods in my direction when he sees me, offering a warm smile before turning back to his cooking. Chloe introduces me to some of the other guests, most of whom seem friendly and welcoming. We chat for a while about nothing in particular, enjoying the warm weather and the delicious smell of barbecue. As the afternoon wears on, I find myself drawn more and more towards Chloe. I can't help but notice the way she moves, the way she laughs, the way she interacts with others. There's something about her that captivates me, something that makes me want to know more about her. As the sun begins to set and the guests start to leave, I find myself lingering near Chloe.

Jack begins to clean up the barbecue as Chloe and I sit on the patio, watching the other guests depart. "Well, that was a lovely cookout," Chloe says with a smile.

"It was," I agree, sipping on my beer as I try not to stare at her too much. "I'm glad I came."

"Me too," Chloe says with a slight smile, sipping on her glass of white wine. "It is nice to have a neighbor who likes to socialize. The couple who were in your house before, they weren't very friendly," Chloe says with a slight frown. "I'm sorry to hear that," I reply, trying not to let my curiosity show too much. "I guess you never know what kind of people you're going to get."

"That's true," Chloe agrees, taking a sip of her wine. "They seemed like a nice enough couple when they first moved in," Chloe continued, reminiscing about her former neighbors. "Mr. Edwards, James, always seemed to want to talk, to be neighborly. But Janice, his wife... she was never friendly to me," Chloe says with a rueful smile. "Almost like she was jealous." I wonder if it was because of your penchant to walk around in your lingerie? I mused silently, wondering if Mr and Mrs Edwards had spied on Chloe as I had this morning. "That must have been tough," I replied, trying to keep my tone neutral. "But you have me now, and I promise to be a good neighbor." Chloe smiled at me, her eyes sparkling in the fading light. "Thank you, Seth. That means a lot."

As the conversation winds down, I find myself growing more and more aware of Chloe's presence. She is sitting close to me on the patio, her chair pulled close to mine, her legs brushing against mine every so often. The scent of her perfume fills my senses, making it difficult for me to think of anything else. As the sun finally sets behind the horizon, Chloe stands up from her chair, taking her wine glass with her. "It's getting late, Seth. Thanks again for coming over. I had a great time getting to know you."

I stand up as well, feeling a bit awkward now that our time together seems to be ending. "Thank you for inviting me, Chloe. I had a lovely time as well," I reply, trying not to let my attraction to her show too much. "It was nice meeting the rest of the neighbors and getting to know you...and your family," I added hurriedly, not wanting to show too much interest in her. "You have a good night."

Chloe smiles warmly at me, stepping closer. "You too, Seth." Our faces are mere inches apart now, the air thick with tension.
