The next morning, I awoke to the smell of bacon. I was mildly shocked to find Mom serving breakfast to my father. I sat down and heard her humming as she fixed my meal. The chatter had returned, and it felt good to know things were working out.
But, I wondered, how do I get Mom to tell me out loud, what I heard from them myself. When Dad got up and left for work, I began putting my dishes in the dishwasher. Once alone with her, I said, "Well, you seem happier today, Mom."
She blushed a bit and said, "Well, maybe things aren't as bad as they seemed the other night."
"Oh, did Dad have a miraculous recovery last night?" I raised my eyebrows as if to say that she must have gotten lucky.
Mom reached across the table to play slap my arm. "No. But maybe we can work something out," she said, taking a sip from her coffee mug.
"We, as in, you and Dad? Or we, as in, you and me?" I asked with a grin.
"I mean Dad and me," she responded, "but there are a few things to iron out, in order to make this work."
I got up from the table and stood behind her. I slid my hands along her shoulders, massaging her tense muscles beneath the broad collar of her nightie. "I'm glad to hear you have a plan. Mom, I'm here for whatever you need, okay?"
She cooed as my fingers melted the tension away. I kneaded her supple skin smoothly while she relaxed, and when she leaned the back of her head into my chest, her ample cleavage caught my eye. My hands moved along the lithe muscles from her shoulders, my fingers gliding along each collar bone before returning along the sides of her neck. I wanted to delve lower; to venture down her chest and take hold of the large firm nipples that I used so suckle on as a baby. The back of the chair kept Mom from knowing how hard I was becoming, just from these gentle touches and filthy fantasies.
I continued while Mom leaned back, bathed in my comforting hands. When I stopped, Mom said in a low voice, "That felt very good. Can I have one more hug?" She stood up and turned to pull me in to her. I knew there would be no hiding my arousal, and at that point I didn't want to hide it either.
Her head snuggled into my chest, my heart pounding with desire and excitement. Her arms reached around to my back, hands sliding up the back of my ribs, and grasping my lean shoulder muscles. My stiff cock pressed in to her belly once more, and Mom let out a soft breath into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her 5'2" frame and allowed my hands to slowly drift to the curvature of her back, just above the fullness of her ass. Oh, how I wanted to brazenly knead her heavy ass cheeks as well. I dreamed of seducing her right there, as we embraced.
Mom's nipples teased my upper belly, through the filmy fabric of her nightie; each one seemed to be as hard as I was. We held each other without words for a few moments, before she drew her arms down my back and along my rib cage. They rolled to my chest and each hand rested gently on my nipples, before she let go of me. "You're such a handsome boy. Thank you for taking care of me, Peter."
I kissed her forehead and got myself out the door before I did anything stupid, like grabbing a nipple, or cupping her ass.
There was another note when I got home from school on Wednesday. Mom had a doctor's appointment and left a pot of meatballs and sauce stewing. The note had instructions for putting on the pasta to have it ready for when Dad got home. I knew that this would afford me some time to see how much Dad could tell me, before Mom returned home.
When Dad got in, he noticed the note and that I hadn't put the pasta on. I told him that I needed to talk with him. We went into the family room, where he opened with, "You can always talk to me, Son. What's up?"
"Dad," I started, "Is everything okay with you?"
"Well, yeah, sure," was his answer. "Why do you ask?"
"Dad, I know this is personal, but I overheard something last night, that makes me think you aren't as well as you're saying."
"Oh." He paused, and I stayed quiet and attentive.
Dad added, "It's that, things aren't working like they should be down there." He pointed to his groin.
"Dad, from what I heard, I kinda guessed that you might have something going on like that."
"So, what exactly did you hear, Pete?"
"Just the part where you gave Mom permission to see someone else, and then her saying she didn't want to find some stranger. After that I left right away. I didn't mean to hear it, and I didn't want to hear any more than I should."
"Ah, I see. Listen, Pete, I know you're only 19, so you can't understand what happens in a long term, adult relationship. There are a ton of factors that make your Mom the best person I could ever hope to spend a life with, and one of those factors is sex." He sat in his easy chair, but leaned forward, just on the edge of the cushion. I knew that my job at this point, was to hear him out, so I did.
He went on, "So, if sex isn't possible for me, she should still be able to enjoy it. And, it's not like she would want to leave me, even if she found someone who could give her the sex she needs. I would never have offered her to do that, if I didn't fully trust her."
"I get it, Dad. It's a pretty great thing you've offered her. I've heard you two going at it a lot, over the years, but this must be devastating for you." He remained silent, nodding slowly.
