I stepped into the house, the house I'd grown up in and closed the door. It was quiet, I listened trying to gain a clue as to where she might have gone. Where do women normally go? Aha, Kitchen! She must be in there. I walked down the hall into the kitchen, nothing. The dining room was empty too. I walked through the lounge area then stood at the bottom of the stairs, where I'd started.
'Mum?' I called up the stairs.
'I'm up here, hun. In my room.'
Wow. Was this really happening? Or was I going to wake from a daydream, still sitting in my idling car outside. I actually pinched myself. No, that stung. This was real. I stepped up the stairs, slowly. As I got to the top, her bedroom door was open and I could see her just sitting on the bed, facing away from the door, palms on her thighs.
'I wasn't sure if you were going to come in. Thought I'd have to run downstairs and shut the door.'
I was standing in the doorway, almost afraid of crossing that threshold. In there was a different world, a world I had dreamed of and fantasised about since I was in my teens, but once across it, no matter what happened, I'd never be able to get back to this side of the threshold, ever again.
She turned to me, eyes glassy, I thought she was about to cry, she looked so vulnerable in this moment. All thoughts of not crossing the threshold evaporated as soon as I saw her face. I stepped inside and sat on the bed right next to her. I put my left arm around her shoulders and my right hand rested on her right arm.
She looked down at her lap, as if she was unsure of something, then said,
'Do you know what's going to happen here?' She turned and looked at my face for a reaction.
'Well, I'm not a hundred percent sure, mum. I almost don't want to say, in case I jinx it. Tell me what's going to happen.' I said.
'We are about to change our lives forever. There will be no going back after this moment. We will be bonded as mother and son in a far far deeper way than any normal mother and son.'
'Mum, stop talking in riddles, tell me what's going to happen.' I said with a little more urgency in my voice. Then she said,
'I'm about to cheat on my husband......' She paused and looked deep into my eyes. 'With my beautiful son.'
My heart skipped a beat. Holy shit! She actually said it. This really was happening. Just her saying it out loud seemed so taboo. She looked into my eyes, looking for a reaction. I just smiled at her, but she didn't smile back. She was right, of course, the gravitas of the situation weighed heavily on her, not so much the cheating on dad, as I'd always felt their relationship was an odd one. He never seemed to deserve her. She was a goddess and he was a workaholic idiot. I'd never got on with him, so his feelings couldn't have been further from my mind. However, I could see she was conflicted, perhaps not because she was going to cheat on dad, but because she was going to take a step into the forbidden with her own son.
'Mum, listen. You're clearly not comfortable with this and I don't want you to do anything you might regret.' I looked at her longingly, hoping she'd pick up on the fact that I was aching for this to happen.
'I just don't want you to wake up tomorrow and look at me differently and feel like you have to be tied to your frumpy old mum.'
Her eyes were big blue glass globes. She was really wrestling with this.
'Mum, stop. Look at me,' I put my hand to her cheek and turned her head to face me. 'You aren't frumpy OR old! You are beautiful, inside and out. You're the most beautiful woman in any room you're in, you are an amazing woman. I don't know why women feel like they have to conform to unrealistic standards set by sweaty, fat, bald men in some conference room working for some magazine or other. I don't know a single guy who likes that. Plus, you're my mother, the queen, you always have been. I love you more than anything in this world, mum, nothing will ever change th-'
I was going to keep talking, but at this point she leaned into me and our lips met again. She brought her hand to caress my cheek. Blood flooded into my penis.
She broke the kiss and pulled back a few inches. Her face seemed to have changed, almost imperceptibly, she smiled warmly at me with pure love in her eyes. I stood up and pushed her knees apart so I was standing between her legs. She looked up at me from the bed, expectantly. I made no attempt to hide the growing bulge in my jeans. She briefly looked down, straight at it, then back up to me. Her expression had changed from love to lust.
I knelt down between her legs, so I was almost at the same level as her, she was slightly above me. I looked up at her and raised my face to hers. We kissed tenderly. I slid my tongue into her mouth and we slowly licked and probed inside each other's mouth. I wrapped my hands around her and rubbed as far down her body as I could.
