4. Janice keeps watch
Jordan, Mom and I were seated around the family dinner table. Mom had made lasagna. At first it was fairly quiet, and I looked over at Mom and smiled, asking with my eyes if everything was OK. She saw the opening, and announced to us both that she had had a chat with Dad, and told him about Jordan.
Everything was going to be fine. Then she fixed Jordan with her eyes, almost strangely, and held his attention for an awkward length of time, before continuing.
"I just want to make it clear, Jordan, that you are welcome to stay with us as long as you wish. You are now the man of the house, as long as John is absent."
That sounded a bit weird, especially the way Mom was deferring to Jordan like that. I shook off the thought. It was awesome that Dad didn't mind Jordan being here. Our eyes met and we smiled.
After dinner, Jordan went for a walk in the garden, seeing if there were any trees that needed pruning, or parts of the property walls that might need repair. I was watching him from up by the pool, thankful for his generous spirit.
Mom sauntered out, and came and put her arms around me.
"Are you happy, Darling?"
"Yes, Mom, I really am."
"Is he being respectful?"
"Oh, Mom, he's so amazing and gentle. Such a gentleman: I can't believe what he said about his upbringing."

Gentle? That wasn't exactly how Janice would have described the goings-on she had heard last night. Even though it was down the hallway, there had been no mistaking the frantic puffing and panting, muffled questioning and moaning, and Jordan's blood curdling cry as he unburdened himself.
She hadn't been upset at all by them having intercourse under her roof. That was fine. She just wanted to make sure Sasha felt safe, and they were both being safe, sexually. She wasn't jealous or meddling in any way, she told herself. Not at all, she confirmed silently. This, despite the fact that she was slightly ashamed that she had tiptoed closer to Sasha's room, to confirm what her ears were telling her.
Janice cast her own mind back to the last time she had had sex. She and John, mating lustfully on their marriage bed. It was a long time ago. But what times they were.
"Mom! Are you OK?" She suddenly heard.
Coming back to reality, Janice realized she was clutching on to Sasha's upper body as though she was on a theme park ride. Sasha was half surprised, and half laughing.
"Oh! Sorry! I was just away with the pixies for a moment." She had to ask Sasha about whether she was having safe sex...
"I...Um..."
"What is it, Mommy?"
"Are you using protection?"

When I heard those words escape Mom's lips, my cheeks became rosy instantly. It must have been obvious to her from the hot flush that I was embarrassed. I went straight for the mea culpa.
"I'm sorry, Mom," my ears and face burning with embarrassment.
She smiled back at me, shaking her head. "That's OK, Sweetie. I just want you to be safe, and not end up in a situation you're unprepared for."
I nodded obediently.
"Here, take these." She pressed a packet of tablets into my hand. "They're actually a couple of years old, but I think they're still in date. I doubt I'm going to be needing them anymore."
I melted into Mom's arms. She was so good, and kind, and beautiful.
"I love you, Mom," I told her as genuinely as I could.
"I love you too, my sweet little girl. I guess you had to become a woman eventually."
I blushed and smiled, and turned to hug her. We remained in each other's embrace in silence, enjoying the warm evening air, and our mutual understanding, first as mother and daughter, but now as grown women.
The following week or two went by in a flash. We attended our classes on campus, and were just as keen to see each other during our breaks. Jordan also caught up with a few of his friends, who were really more acquaintances. They didn't seem particularly interested in the fact that he now had a girlfriend, or even who I was. A couple of them gave a non-committal nod in my direction, just acknowledging my existence. For me, that was perfect.
I hadn't really had any friends this past year, and so, in a selfish way, I was kind of glad that Jordan didn't really seem to either. Now, we had one another, and we were completely infatuated. I had my lips against his face and my body against his at every opportunity. When Mom left the house to go shopping, I was immediately on my knees, sometimes by the front door as soon as I had watched her drive away.
Mom seemed increasingly stress-free. It was almost as though she and Dad had decided they were going to drift apart. She smiled continually at Jordan, thanked him for being with us, and referred to him as the 'man of the house', which embarrassed him no end.
She even started staying up late to watch films with us. Jordan and I had been watching a lot of porn in my room, learning to do new moves, and laughing, gagging and even getting totally grossed out at some of the weird stuff people try to do.
This meant that when we watched normal movies, the romantic scenes could be a bit passΓ©. I did like a slow build up, sometimes, and Jordan would enhance it by moving his hand around to stroke my ass. A few times, I caught Mom watching that. She seemed to like it.
Other than that, Mom was fussing over us a lot. Or maybe it was just Jordan. She would make supper, and generally act like a housemaid wanting to make sure we had everything we needed. In everyday activities she even started genuinely treating him as the man of the house.
She deferred to him on what action we should take, or even checked in with him for what time he wanted dinner. It definitely made me horny, seeing her behave that way, and realizing that we were both being submissive to Jordan within the bounds of our relationship.
I ultimately understood that Mom needed Jordan there to kind of bolster her insecurity of being a single female all of a sudden, after so many years of Dad making all the decisions around the house.
At night, we watched porn together in my room, and got turned both on and off by the wide variety of content there was. Sometimes, we would set up videos and emulate the porn actors on my bed. He loved grabbing my hair like his thoroughbred and fucking me from behind. I wished I had a huge round ass like some of those actresses, but he seemed happy with mine, and loved to spank it.
The next day, he was at Uni, and I was home. I didn't know what to do at first, as it came to me that this was one of the first days that we hadn't been together. I held off for as long as I could, which was only about an hour, and then started texting him.
"Baby, are you having a good day? <3 <3 <3"
"Sure am. Missing you."
"<3 <3 <3 How do you want me when you get home?"
"How do you want to be?"
"I want to be on my knees for you."
"I want that too."
"Tell me what else you want."
