This is not a fictional tale, nor is it a story born in the imagination of a sexually frustrated woman. It is a true account of the events which led to my ongoing sexual relationship with my son. All the events I describe happened when he was older than 18 years.
I have always kept a diary but for obvious reasons I could not take the chance that this part of my life would be discovered. Documenting my life for so many years has become so much a part of who I am that I needed another outlet, a way of substituting the written words on paper. So here I am.
The only changes I have made are the names of my son and my husband. I have not changed my Christian name and every detail of what you are about to read is as true and accurate as I can recall.
*****
My name is Natalie; I'm 41, a part-time legal secretary and mostly home-maker and mom. I'm 5'7" tall, I have dark brunette hair, I'm considered quite good looking and keep myself in good physical shape. My husband James is 47 and is a marketing director for a major construction company and my son Daniel, 21, is at college.
Most days my life moves along at its normal sedate day to day pace and not much out of the ordinary happens. That is until Christmas of 2013 when completely out of the blue and with no prior warning my life changed forever.

Finishing up work at the office for the day I was looking forward to getting home. I work from 8 in the morning till 1 in the afternoon which leaves me lots of time to attend to the normal running of the house and preparing dinner in the evening for my husband James. Life is pretty mundane in our house but this particular day I was glad to be going home as my 20 year old son Daniel would be home from college for the Christmas holidays. I hadn't seen Daniel for 4 months and was so looking forward to fussing over him for the next two weeks. In fact I had booked two weeks off so that I could spend more time with him over the holiday period.
As I pulled my car into the drive I saw that Daniel had already arrived as his SUV was parked in his usual haphazard way almost abandoned at the front of the house. I hurried inside and walked straight into the living room where I knew he'd be slouching in the armchair watching TV. Daniel stood up as I walked in. I gave him a big hug as I kissed him on the cheek and welcomed him home. 'You've changed so much,' I said as he stood there with that big smile on his face that always melted my heart. 'Really Mom?' I don't feel any different, maybe it's because you haven't seen me in so long'.
But he'd changed in many ways. Daniel seemed to be manlier. His voice had deepened slightly and he carried himself in a more confident manner. It was almost as if he had become a man since the last time he left for college, and I looked at him with pride as he asked, 'Anything to eat Mom? I giggled at him, 'Some things never change' and went to the kitchen to make him a sandwich.
Daniel was our only son and growing up he'd always done well in school, in fact he was an excellent student and was doing very well at college. He'd grown into a strapping 6' tall young man with my dark hair and brown eyes. Although not really the sporty type, he is quite well built and carries the leanness of youth. Over dinner that evening he surprised James and I by announcing that he'd gained a work placement with a company based only 30 miles from home for two years, which was fantastic for us as he'd be able to commute from home. James and I were delighted.
James and I went to bed at 11 content and happy to have our son home. Our sex life (such as it is) is nothing to write home about. Over the years the excitement has worn off and these days we'd be lucky to have sex once every six weeks. James works long hours and is so tired most of the time but I still feel young, and as is often the case, feel as though the spark has disappeared from our relationship. Having a high sex drive I often find this quite frustrating, and masturbate at least once a week.
Thursday December 19 2013
I awoke next morning at 6.30. I had my morning shower and went downstairs to make breakfast and get ready for the day. James had already gone, as he leaves the house at 6 am every morning. I wasn't expecting Daniel to be up, and was wearing only a dressing gown over my naked body, as is my normal routine. I don't usually get dressed till after breakfast. Pouring a cup of coffee I heard Daniel walk into the kitchen. 'You're up early darling,' I smiled as he took a cup from the rack. 'One of the better habits I've developed Mom.' He laughed and reached across me for the coffee pot. As he reached over I saw him glancing down the front of my dressing gown. I hadn't realised that it was quite loose but was relieved to see that not much of my 36c breasts were visible. Even so his glance seemed to linger just a few seconds too long. Sitting at the table discussing the day ahead I crossed my legs feeling a little self conscious and making sure nothing else was on view. Again I noticed that Daniel kept glancing down towards my bare legs. Putting it down to a young man's curiosity I cleared up and went to get dressed for work. When I returned to the kitchen dressed in my skirt and blouse I told Daniel that I this was my last day before the holidays and would be able to spend more time with him when I got home.
Daniel said, 'I'm looking forward to it Mom, and by the way, you look as beautiful as ever.'
'Why thank you young man,' I laughed and went to work feeling delighted with my son's compliment.
When I returned home from the office Daniel made me coffee and as I washed the cups he asked, 'Mom do you still wear your glasses at work?' I told him that I did and he asked if I would put them on.
I found this a little odd but he explained, 'It's just that I haven't seen you wearing them around the house and wondered if you still needed them.'
I took my glasses from my purse and put them on, amused that he even remembered that I wore glasses at all.
'Wow! Mom, you look stunning' he exclaimed. I giggled, feeling good about myself. Daniel came towards me and kissed me on the cheek.
'I've really missed you Mom,' he smiled. 'It's good to be home.' As he brushed past me I thought I felt a bulge in his pants.
After finishing up in the kitchen I went to change out of my work clothes. Something was niggling in my mind as I walked up the stairs. Was I just imagining it or did Daniel's voice get a little husky when he'd leaned in to kiss my cheek? In fact I could have sworn I'd detected the unmistakable scent of sexual arousal on his breath. Dismissing it from my mind I carried on and as I walked past Daniel's bedroom I was quite taken aback to hear the sounds of heavy breathing coming from inside. I knew instantly that he was masturbating as I'd heard the same noises from his room now and then since before he went to college. I had always regarded it as a natural healthy activity for a young man and although a little embarrassed, I had never mentioned the subject to him.
Since Daniel was 18 I had spoken to him a few times about little coincidences that happened. Little things that I'd put to the back of my mind dismissing them. There were occasions when he was home from college for the summer,I had caught him walking past my bedroom door just after I had been getting dressed. He once walked into the bathroom while I was naked in the shower. These things returned to my mind as I sat in my bedroom.
After dinner that evening James was relaxing watching the news in the living room while Daniel was in the den watching a movie. I sat beside him and as we watched the movie we chatted about college, work and about his plans for the future.
'Is there a girl in your life at the moment darling?' I asked.
'Not recently Mom,' he replied, 'I've had a few girlfriends but nothing too serious. Besides, you're the only girl for me.' He laughed, putting his arm around me.
