Side Effects 5 -- Good Medicine
By T Yger
"Stan, where are you?" Elizabeth called from the kitchen.
Stan lifted his head, setting down his sketch pad at the same time. He listened, uncertain that he'd heard his mom calling him. Deciding it was better to go find out than risk her wrath, he swung his legs off his bed, then headed downstairs. He'd been finding himself doing things in his room more and more because, frankly, his mom had become a bitch.
"Were you calling me?" he spoke as he came down the stairs. He wasn't certain where she was, but knew she'd let him know.
"There you are," her voice shot out of the kitchen. Stan cringed. What now?
"You didn't rinse this." She waved a tall glass that had a splash of milk in the bottom. Stan was about to apologize, then realized he hadn't drunk milk today.
"Sorry Mom, wasn't me."
"Don't you lie. You better just remember to do it from now on. I'm not your maid." She turned back to the sink.
Stan stood in the doorway watching her rinse it, then place it on the top rack in the dishwasher. He was seething inside. What was going on that she was always on his case these days? Then he realized he was picturing his mom, bent over, loading more dishes, but she was nude. He felt a stirring in his pants and tried to clamp down on his imagination. Too late.
Still watching her, he could see himself walking up behind her, slipping his cock into her and starting a satisfying fuck session. He shook his head, dispelling the images like smoke in a breeze. She was just his mom, standing there with a hand on her hip, glaring at him.
"Why are you staring at me? You need something to do?"
Yeah mom, but you might not like it. He didn't dare utter the words. They'd come to an understanding. Now that she was 'cured' of her anxiety, no longer suffering from the side effects of her medication that left her feeling insatiably horny, there was no more need for their special sessions.
Too bad, he thought, we'd just gotten to the actual fucking. Stan turned away before she could see his growing erection.
"Don't turn your back on me." The tone in her voice softened his stiffy.
"Mom," Stan turned back, "what's wrong? You used to talk with me. Now it's always like I'm in some sort of trouble."
"It's you. You've become inconsiderate, always doing things just to grate on me." She turned away; her face flushed.
Wanting to lash out, he had been going to great lengths to not do things that irk her. Stan took a moment to calm himself. "That's not fair."
"What's not fair," she yelled back at him, not letting him finish his thought, "is that I do all the work around here and you do all the lazing."
"Lazing? I'm mostly busy staying the hell out of your way."
"Don't you sass me." She stomped her foot.
Stan opened his mouth to respond but saw the looming train wreck. "Wait Mom, let's take this back a step or two."
She stared at him, a quizzical look on her face.
"We never did this to each other before. God, Mom, we've been intimate. Why are we fighting?"
She continued to stare at him, her face slack. "It...it...its like before," she stammered in a quiet voice.
"What do you mean? Before."
"I don't know. It just seems to me, that you're getting on my nerves." Then she slammed her fists to her sides. "Everything's getting on my nerves. Why can't the world just leave me alone?"
"Mom," Stan rushed to her. Her voice, her look of frustration, were too much for him.
"I don't know." She raised her hands to her neck. "I just know I've had enough."
"Wait, is this like it felt before you went for counselling? Is your anxiety back?" Stan's brain churned the thought, do you need to go back on medication? Guilt flashed through him. He would never want his mom to be ill just so he could have sex with her. He just didn't want his mom getting to the place she had been before.
"I don't know." Her voice grew quiet. She glanced around the kitchen as though the answer was scrawled somewhere. She cocked her head and looked at him. "Maybe."
"Well, we need to do something before it gets worse. Why don't you make a doctor's appointment?"
"I can, but that'll take at least two weeks. And then drugs again, all the talking."
"But it helped before." Stan placed a hand on her shoulder, fully aware of just how close it was to her breast.
She placed a hand on his, looked into his face. "I will. I will do that but," she paused, searching his eyes, "I think it might have been our sessions that did the most good."
His heart jumped and his cock grew hard. He knew he wanted that, but he had to let her make that choice. Dredging up the right words, not wanting to manipulate her, he uttered, "Really? I'm good medicine?"
"But that's too much to ask."
"Ask Mom. I'm happy to do whatever helps you." He knew he wasn't lying, and he really wanted her to say yes.
"Are you busy right now?" She pressed her pelvis against his leg.
"Not too busy." He mimed pulling on rubber gloves, unable to believe his good fortune. "The doctor is in." He wrapped his arms around her, lowered his face to hers, and slipped his tongue into her mouth.
She slid her hands up his back, gripped his shoulders, and pulled him tight. Her tongue snaked into his mouth, jaw working, showing her passion. She ground her body against his.
