Steven's Arizona SexVentures part 4
That next morning Marie had awakened even before Steven had gotten out of bed. When they both came into the kitchen, there was hardly a word said between the two of them. And it was obvious to the both of them that it had everything to do with what happened the night before
But Marie, trying to be as helpful as possible, chose at the time not to talk about it. Instead, she went ahead and made sure her son had a decent breakfast before sending him off to do what he did in the world of making computers.
After he'd left, she tried watching TV but her thoughts pulled her back again and again to the scene in the bathroom. What had happened with Steven, letting him see her completely naked in the shower, she knew was something that neither her or her son could change. And in her own mind, because of the thrill it gave her, it wasn't like Marie had any desire to change anything.
And even with how outlandish that had been, with what came after that, when she'd given in to the temptation to masturbate, followed by the nasty self-professed declarations that had come out of her mouth; Because it had been months since her and Leon had had sex, Marie tried to write all of it off as just her being unusually horny.
As those two events from the night before replayed in her mind, her phone rang, and she took a call from one of her longtime friends back home, Rebecca Gordon. The two of them talked for about half an hour. And during their conversation, Marie listened to her friend telling her about a trip that she was getting ready to take to Las Vegas. It had something to do with the company she worked for and she'd be out there for about a week or so.
Following her phone call, her day consisted of just relaxing and then going on a walk around the neighborhood, taking in as much Arizona sun as she'd thought would be safe. The last thing Marie wanted was getting sunburned or having to be concerned about melanoma.
Just as had happened the day before, when Steven returned home that evening, she had a nice supper waiting for him.
But knowing what had gone on between them in the bathroom, needed to at least be addressed, she spoke up...
"Steven, I'm not sure what's the best way to talk about this...but, I need to tell you something..."
"Mom, I know. And I'll just tell you now...I'm sorry about last night..."
"No honey...it isn't you...it's me that needs to..."
"Mom...I was the one who shouldn't have been in there when you needed your privacy, trying to get your shower...I messed up, big time!"
As she listened to him try and make his apology, she remembered the passionate urges that had just about overtaken her, when she openly displayed herself naked like she did to her own son. And there was something else about it. She knew what she did was improper, but really wasn't all that uncomfortable about any of it.
"Steven...maybe we can just agree that we both took it a little too far. There's things I don't feel it would be right to tell you, about me, I mean. I
know
I can come off a little
different
. And that just might show you how crazy your mom can be. But no matter what I do, I don't want you to think bad of me. Please tell me you won't, okay?"
"Mom, yeah, I know you can come off..."out of the ordinary" at times. But that's just who you are...and I don't think bad of you at all. Not in the least."
"Thank you Steven. I've just always thought that people felt that way about me."
Seeing the grieved expression on his mother's face, Steven thought back to when he'd picked her up from the airport, and what an eye-opener it was to see her wearing the revealing halter top, and short skirt she'd worn on the flight. He wondered then, just as he had the day she arrived, didn't she understand that looking as provocative as she did wouldn't make people stare at her? But he had more he needed to share with her.
"Wow! You're telling me people have felt that way about you? Mom, how do you think my life has been? I know I've always been different. You don't know about all the times I was made fun of at school, especially with some of my supposed friends, and even some of my teachers, and around our neighborhood too. I knew the people that lived up and down our street were saying stupid shit about "The Geeky kid!"
"I never knew that honey. If they were saying things like that, nobody ever told me about it. I swear they didn't!"
"But why would they mom? Those people who were supposedly our friends, like the Kaufman's, and the Miller's, I could see how they felt about the really smart kid who sometimes had trouble riding his own bike down the street. But you know what, I made up my mind, probably when I was about twelve years old, that I didn't want to end up like them; judging somebody and acting like an asshole to them just because they were different than me."
Watching his mother's approving reaction to what he'd just told her, he knew he needed to finish the point that he was trying to make. If nothing else, because of his secret desire, he hoped it would be okay to tell his mom how committed he was to her.
"And goddammit mom, I'm not going to do that to you. You're my family, my flesh and blood. And I promise I'll never mistreat you. I swear to God I won't!"
Appreciative of the passion and commitment she heard in Steven's voice, she could only answer back, "And I feel the same about you. There's nothing that's going to change that Steven."
Comparing notes about how they both felt out of place at times in the world, they finally changed the subject and ended up watching TV sitting side by side. As Steven and Marie then both began yawning, they let each other know how ready they were to lie down and try to get as good a night sleep as possible.
However, once alone in their own bedrooms, and before closing their eyes, both mother and son couldn't stop thinking about the surprised rendezvous they'd had only twenty-four hours before.
As each of them in different bedrooms entertained incestuous thoughts about the other, they soon succumbed to the compulsion to masturbate. And just as they'd done many nights already, mother and son indulged themselves in secret sexual fantasies neither felt safe enough to reveal to the other.

The next few days hadn't been much different from the pattern they'd become accustomed to. In the morning Steven would drive to Celestion, and in many of those instances, Emily worked alongside him, as well as Shantel and others brought in to help get the product launch set up.
