It had been two and-a-half months since Stuart Chambers first took Kara Johnson as his slut-toy, and a day more than that since he'd taken Amy Marshall, another middle-aged friend of his mother's. Yet even now, every time he thought of it a large, shit-eating grin came to his face. After all, he had what other guys didn't even dare to dream of; two constantly horny women at his beck and call who would do anything he demanded without hesitation and without question. It was better -- far better -- than anything he'd ever dared dream of. The only problem -- other than finding the energy to keep both of them satisfied -- was keeping his secret from his mother. After all, what was the likelihood that she'd understand, let alone approve?

Pamela Chambers, Stuart's mother, pulled her car into the parking spot a couple minutes past noon and turned off the engine. As most women do, she then proceeded to check her appearance in the mirror, primping her hair and making certain her lipstick was applied just right. Only after her appearance passed this essential scrutiny did she grab her purse, exit the car and head for the mall entrance.
She was making her way through the center-court, headed for her favorite store, when she spotted what appeared to be the back of her son about thirty yards in front of her.
"Stuart," she called out. But her call went unheeded.
She picked up her pace and tried to close the gap. But before she could catch him, he turned into a woman's lingerie store. That was when she first noticed the girl -- make that woman -- he was with.
She slowed her pace, fairly certain the young man would not appreciate running into his mother at a time like this. But before she could turn away and start down another wing, she saw Stuart's hand slide to the woman's ass and guide her to the side, turning her so her profile was towards Pamela.
"On, my god!" Pamela gasped, lifting her hand instinctively to cover her mouth when she realized that the ass her son's hand was on was none other than Kara Johnson's, her best friend. Pamela looked around nervously, then slid behind a nearby fake tree and returned her attention to the store.
She watched her son guide Kara to an underwear display, where he pointed out a pair of tie-side thongs. Then, to her even greater dismay, she watched him pick a pair off the rack and hand it to her.
After that he led her to a part of the store she couldn't see, but when they emerged three minutes later, Kara was holding a frilly black bra while Stuart was holding a very tiny, very revealing nightie. When the two stepped up to the counter to pay, Pamela turned and quickly made her way back to the mall entrance and out to her car.
It wasn't until she was safely inside the car that she finally had a chance to gather her wits and really think about what she'd just seen. Her son -- that sweet, innocent young man -- was being used as the personal play toy of her heretofore best friend, a 38 year-old divorcee.
"Damn you, Kara Johnson," she spat. "Damn you to hell!" And with that she started the car, threw it into gear and made a bee-line straight for her house.

Pamela Chambers -- who in point-of-fact was Stuart's step-mother, having been the child's guardian since shortly after his father died barely a year into their marriage -- spent the majority of the afternoon pacing the floor and wondering how she should deal with her new-found knowledge. She had no doubt how Stuart would react if she tried broaching the subject with him, so that avenue was clearly out. Yet it was equally obvious that she couldn't just let it lay. After all, he was just a kid; that barracuda she used to call her best friend would chew him up and spit him out. How could she -- his Mother -- let that happen?
She took a deep breath, held it briefly, then let it out. There was really only one option. She had to confront Kara, and she had to do it the first chance she got.

It was a bit after 5:00 when Stuart finally made it home.
"Hello," he shouted as he entered through the side door. "Anyone home?"
Pamela, who'd been waiting nervously in the family room, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I'm in here."
Stuart rounded the corner and found his step-mother sitting on the sofa against the far wall. He smiled at the only mother he could remember, the woman he called 'mother' with as much love as any young man could have for their mother. To him, as to her, blood made no difference. They were as much mother and son as anyone.
"Hi, Mom" Stuart he said lightly, entering the room and plopping himself down in his favorite recliner. "I'm famished. What's for dinner."
"Meatloaf, baked potatoes and salad," she answered. "It'll be ready in about 45 minutes."
"Great," he replied, pushing himself to his feet. "That gives me enough time to shower and change."
"Are you going out tonight?"
"Just over to Ralph's," he answered. "I told you last night, remember? The Texas Hold 'em party?"
It was 6:15 when they finished dinner, and 7:00 when Stuart finally left the house. Fifteen minutes after that, a determined and quite angry Pamela Chambers, dressed in a blue jean skirt, a peach colored cami with no bra and a simple pair of sandals, also left the house.

"Pamela," Kara said as she pulled the door part way open. "I wasn't expecting you. Is something wrong?"
"Can I come in?" Pamela replied bluntly.
Kara looked nervously into her house, then back towards her friend. "Actually, I have plans tonight and I'm running a bit late."
"It'll only take a minute."
