My Darling George,
As sons go you're a 5-star rating; everything a mother could possibly ask for. Despite all that happened in the early years, you've turned into a fine young man and everything you've achieved I am so proud of. Who would've believed that we would become so close eventually, everything falling into place so easily. None of our friends or close relatives would ever think it would they!! It's brought us some merriment thinking of the looks on their faces if they'd even suspected, those nights when we lay curled up on the sofa watching a movie before retiring to....dare I say....our bed for the night. When we both found respective partners, I expected that to be an end to our relationship, that part of it at least. You seemed so happy, and I was... erm...settled so I shut that couple of years into a closet, only to be taken out at special moments. To be looked at and carefully put away again. It wasn't easy but I suppose it wasn't meant to be forever; circumstance wouldn't allow that.
As time went by we seemed to see less and less of each other as our lives were so busy. You'd moved into a new area and I'd been promoted at work, which meant a lot of travelling. We tried to talk on the phone as much as we could, but it was always hurried because I was rushing off somewhere or your partner wanted your time. Therefore it was a nice surprise to find we were all free around Xmas this year and in agreement that we would all get together New Year's Eve and spend New Year's Day together.
I was filled with anticipation and a touch of dread. For all there hadn't been anything like the closeness we once shared -- we'd touched ourselves together over the phone occasionally but that was about the sum total of physical attention we'd allowed ourselves -- this still could be awkward. Do we ever truly put feelings to one side when they're as strong as ours? All I knew was that as the day drew closer I was feeling more and more excitement. My partner was amazed at how happy I'd been over Xmas; and how the light-heartedness seemed to be growing all the time. On my part I was feeling like a teenager going out on a first date. I deliberated over what to take to wear, what make-up to use, what to do with my hair. In fact, the only thing I was sure of was packing my favourite perfume....yours too as it turned out. I can't wear it without thinking of you.
Eventually the 31st came about and we were on the road. The radio was playing quietly in the background and suddenly it played 'our song'. Remember that first dance we had, the very first night we felt the sexual tension building? I'm sitting in the car remembering with a smile how it felt when you were holding me close. I could feel your heart beating against my chest, the first stirrings down below. I held my breath as I felt you harden, not wanting to embarrass you, or to stop the sensations I was feeling too. You were oblivious to my feelings as you nuzzled into my neck. Maybe you forgot who I was as you gently bit my earlobe, but the hardness was becoming more pronounced. I had to break the spell and asked you if you would come outside with me as it was becoming quite warm inside. It seemed the most natural thing in the world for you to lead me outside, rest me against the wall and carry on where you left off. By this time it was apparent that you knew exactly whom you were with because as you were playing with my ear again, I heard you murmur 'Oh God mum, I want you'. I wanted you so much too and kissed you with passion I didn't know existed in me.
Next thing we were getting out of a taxi outside my home and hurrying through the front door. Maybe I needed to slow things down a little because I remember going into the kitchen to pour a couple of drinks. You didn't follow me through but when I came into the living room you were sitting on the sofa waiting for me, your arm along the back of it, your eyes beckoning me to sit with you. Soon as I sat down you dropped your arm so that your hand could reach around the back of my head and pull me towards you. Once again we were kissing so passionately. This time my hand dropped gently to your lap and I could feel you pressing against your trousers. I wanted so much to release you from them but felt unable to make such a forward move. I needn't have worried because you undid your trousers with your free hand and guided me in to touch you. I couldn't believe I was holding you in my hand, so firm and inviting.
