Chapter 07
Martin was already laying face down on their bed by the time Peggy got to the room. He didn't speak to her and she made no attempt to acknowledge him except for trying to be quiet while she gathered clean clothes from her drawers.
She gently caressed herself while standing under the warm shower but was careful to not bring herself to a climax. Her mind was already in knots about what she was doing and she didn't know where it would all end.
After putting on her panties, she selected a full skirt from her closet and fastened it around her waist. A camisole completed her outfit and when she looked into the mirror, she could see her nipples through the top. Taking one last look at herself, she hesitated before going out into the house. She was still a little shaken about what they had done and she wasn't sure how Walt would react to her.
He was not in the kitchen or the other rooms and so she went to his room and found the door closed. She considered knocking, but decided against it and going back out into the family room, she sat on the sofa and contemplated her actions.
She knew what she had done and what she was about to do was wrong in the eyes of society and almost everyone else. She realized that she had to power to stop it in its tracks but she also knew she had an intense desire to let it continue.
Her attraction to him was getting stronger and her skin burned where his hands had touched her. Holding her breast through the fabric of he dress, she remembered how good it felt when it was his hand and not her own holding her.
The sound of his crutches broke through her reverie and she looked up to see her son coming into the room. She was sure that he was puzzled about her sudden departure from the kitchen so she rose to greet him. He made no move towards her but he looked at her cautiously as she closed the few steps between them.
She stood quietly looking at him for a moment before reaching up and wrapping her arms around his shoulders. He kept his hands on his crutch supports as she smiled up at him.
Wetting her lips, she kissed him gently before resting her cheek on his chest.
"Umm," she sniffed. "You smell good."
Still unsure of what she wanted, he replied, "Uh, thanks, mom. You do too."
"Here, let me get your chair for you," she offered and moved his wheelchair closer to where he usually sat to watch television.
She watched as he levered himself down onto it before taking his crutches to lean them against the corner of the wall.
Returning to the side of his chair, she ran her hand over the back of his neck.
"You're damp, did you just take a shower?" she asked.
"Yeah, I was all hot and sweaty," he replied and waited for her next move.
"Me too," she continued and lifting his hand, she placed in on her hip on the outside of her skirt. "Can you tell?"
"No, you feel dry to me."
"Try here," she whispered and turning towards him she indicated her breast. Her eyes followed his hand as it moved slowly up along her ribs until he held her breast in his palm. He gently fondled it and rolled her nipple between his thumb and forefinger.
"Yes," he croaked in a strained voice. "I can feel it now."
"Let's move to the sofa," she suggested and turned his chair before he could answer.
Walt swung himself onto the sofa and she sat down beside him with one leg bent so that she was facing him. She placed her palm on his chest and gave his pectoral muscle a little squeeze.
"Do you remember when you were little and I used to give you a bath?" she whispered.
