So, a couple of firsts for me - a Halloween story and a story that's actually in time for the actual season it's set in...lol. It was a hoot to write and I hope you enjoy it. As always, all characters are fictional and exist only within the confines of the story and in my imagination! I hope to hear back from you - feedback, both pro and con, are very helpful and appreciated! Enjoy!

"You're coming to the Halloween Party, John?" Mom asked me, looking over her cup of coffee with skeptical eyes.
I nodded and said, "I can't wait, Mom! Bethany said we could hook up there! It's taken me five months to wear her down, but Bethany Rollins and I are finally gonna get our thang on!"
Mom laughed and tried not to choke after taking another sip of coffee. She set her cup down and reached across the kitchen table and took my hand in hers. As it always did, there was something akin to a minute electric shock as her skin touched mine and I felt something shiver deep within me, something I could feel down in my bones and between my legs as well...something I shouldn't maybe be thinking about my own mom, but what are you gonna do?
"Well, I'm happy for you, Don Juan, but remember, Bethany is an older woman and things...well, things get strange at Davy Riggs' parties."
"Well, shit, Mom. I hope so. I'm nineteen. We like things strange at nineteen!"
Mom rolled her eyes as she stood up and moved her plate and coffee mug to the sink. As she moved around, getting ready to leave for work, I watched her with an appreciative eye. She was my mother, but as I'd told her, I was nineteen!
Mom, at age forty-three was a spectacular looking woman. Tall and slender, standing five-nine in her stocking feet with large breasts and a tight butt from many evenings of exercise bikes and yoga. Mom wore her bleached blonde hair short and reminded a lot of people of that gorgeous woman who'd played the hot, blonde Borg on that Star Trek show. Usually wearing business outfits and dresses that emphasized her long, toned legs and her thirty-eight D breasts, Mom drew more than her fair share of admirers...her son, chief among them.
My father had never married Mom, having slipped out of town two days after she told him I was pregnant. She'd been working for Davy Riggs even then as had my dad, but he couldn't handle the "settling down and raising a family" scene and had split. Last we heard, he was an overweight surfer bum doing minimum wage at some pop stand on the Pacific coast.
Mom and I hadn't really missed him and I was proud that she'd raised me all by herself. As a result, we were closer than most mother and sons and with Mom's liberal ways, we were in a way, more intimate than most sons and mothers. I don't mean we had sex (I wish), but we were very casual and frank with each other. Mom didn't strut around naked, but wasn't shy or modest either and since the day she'd set me down when I was eleven and did the "birds and bees" talk, the topic of sex wasn't taboo.
Mom had never remarried, but she hadn't taken a vow of chastity either. She'd had her share of lovers, a few who'd spent time with us, but mostly her love life had been conducted outside the house. Still, Mom never had tried to hide the fact when she was going out to hit the singles scene, often dressed in drop dead sexy outfits (skin tight jeans and tops, often with very revealing necklines or in slinky little black dresses), and would answer my non too innocent inquiries of "How was your night, Mom?" with a nasty smile and a dick hardening "Meow," when she would return looking a little weary or disheveled.
Yes, Mom has been a common subject of my masturbatory fantasies, but more importantly, she was my ultimate confidant, often guiding my efforts to get better acquainted with the opposite sex -- efforts that so far had produced my fair share of sweaty fumbling in the back seat of my car at the drive-in or behind my old high school or in some young lady's dorm room.
I had higher hopes with Bethany Robbins -- an older woman of twenty-three who worked at Riggs' Publishing, where Mom and I both worked. One may or may not recognize the name Davy Riggs, but everyone has read some of his publications. You can find them all through the city, housed in garishly colored boxes stacked next to newspaper vending machines on street corners or in wire baskets at the exits of grocery stores.
Davy has built an empire out of various publications that cover local community news, entertainment news, classified papers and various publications of ill repute as well as his Free Press newspaper -- "The Eye of the City," that had won several awards over the years for honest reporting. All were free publications, his money made from the incredible amount of advertising that appears in each paper. Even in these days of the Internet, it's amazing how people still love their rags that cover the local Women's Gardening Club, this week's garage sales, and the almost seemingly infinite number of escort services that operate in the city.
Mom worked her way up from being a secretary twenty-two years ago to today being in charge of the advertising department, the name of Chelsea Hall being well respected throughout the business. My hopeful love, Bethany worked in layout and while I studied towards a journalism degree at City College, I worked as an office gopher and delivery man. Three days a week, I'm out in the wee hours of the morning filling those ugly boxes with Davy's various publications. The rest of the time, I'm doing whatever scut work needs to be done and learning the various operations of the business, which is how I met Bethany.
Bethany is a short, zaftig dynamo of sexy woman, with long brown hair, lovely green eyes and a figure that as Mom puts it, is all "tits and ass." We seemed to have hit it off since I first got hired about seven months ago. We've had coffee a few times, did a movie or two and even made out one night back at the end of September. She's been involved with a guy and has been in the process of breaking up and well...I'm not sure its love, but it's definitely lust with a whole lot of like mixed in!
I was thinking of Bethany while appreciating Mom's slightly swaying butt, currently covered by a short and tight black skirt, not noticing Mom's question until she snapped her fingers and said, "Hey, horndog...eyes up here."
I felt myself blushing as I raised my eyes to meet Mom's amused gaze. "I'm sorry, Mom, what did you ask me?"
