As the school year progressed Dana felt happier than she had in a long time. She knew that a large part of this was her very satisfying affair with Jack. She also loved the way her body looked and felt as a result of her regular workouts in the pool and weight room. To keep herself busy she also kept in regular contact with the swim coaches and helped some of the other boys on the team make summer training plans.
She sometimes thought it was funny that she was now happier as a divorcee than she had been in years with Todd. Rationally it seemed like this should be a confusing and difficult time, but she couldn't imagine being happier. Between helping the team, her own workouts, and her intense affair with Jack, she was busier than she had been in years. Therefore, the number of times she found herself around the house with nothing specific to do was very small.
Once summer started Mike and Dana sat down together and set up their workout schedules. Both liked having a training partner so it worked out well that they went to the pool and the gym together to keep each other motivated and keep it fun. There were times when Mike went off and worked out with some of his teammates, but more often than not he and Dana went through their workout routines together on a near daily basis.
They also stuck to a fairly strict and very healthy diet that complimented their workouts and kept them in shape. All of this meant they were together often and shared many experiences. Dana and Mike grew even closer as they "bonded" through their strict workout regimes. They had always been close, but now it was like they were becoming close as friends and not just as a mother and son. When they talked and hung out at home now, it felt more like a couple of friends hanging out together rather than a college aged son being "stuck" at home with his mom.
In many ways Mike reminded Dana a lot of how Todd used to be when they first met. Todd used to have this energy, this vitality, and he used to be so very fit. It sometimes still amazed her how much he had changed during their marriage and how completely different a person Todd ended up being.
One particular morning while she and Mike were swimming laps Dana began thinking about Todd. This particular date was the anniversary of when he proposed to her and although she knew she didn't love him any more and that she was much happier since the divorce the day still made her feel a little sad somehow.
Dana hung on the edge of the pool during a break from her workout and her mind wandered to how much Todd had changed during their time together. She thought about how hot and excited he made her feel when they were first married. She was still lost in her thoughts when Mike climbed out of the pool and Dana absent-mindedly watched him walk over to the drinking fountain.
Without even realizing she was doing it her eyes scanned Mike's wet, nearly naked body. Then, unexpectedly, she felt a twinge in her stomach and realized exactly how much Mike resembled Todd back when Todd was in college and swimming. Dana admired Mike's lean back and strong shoulders and before she could stop herself her eyes moved to his ass as he bent over to take a drink. Her eyes didn't move even after he turned around and walked back to the pool and she found herself gazing at the bulge of his cock under his tight swimsuit. Just before he dove back into the pool she looked over his flat stomach and chest and admired his face. He so reminded her of a young Todd.
After he dove back into the pool his head popped up from the water and Mike asked, "You OK?"
His question pulled her out of the dreamy state her mind had slipped into and she replied, "Oh, yes. I guess I was just thinking."
"OK then," he replied, "back to your workout. No slacking off for you." With that Mike dove under the water again and reappeared in mid stroke, as he returned to his set of laps.
It was then that Dana suddenly realized what she had just done. She looked around at the handful of other people sharing the pool and felt embarrassed and ashamed. How could she have just watched her own son's body so admiringly?
There was no doubt that she felt and thought things mothers aren't supposed to think or feel as she gazed at Mike. What had she done?
She went back to swimming her own laps and reasoned that it was only because Mike was so similar to Todd and that she was in such a weird place today with it being the anniversary of her and Todd's engagement. She told herself that she wasn't really staring at Mike but instead was looking at a reflection of what Todd used to look like. Still she knew that, on purpose or not, she had just "checked out" her son and she liked what she had seen.
She also figured some of her problem was that she was currently so damn horny. It was several weeks now since the summer break had started and she desperately missed fucking Jack. Being with him, even if it was just once a week had re-ignited her lust and left her in a near constant state of heightened lust. She remembered feeling like this often back in college and remembered how in those days she would turn to Todd and any number of his teammates and fuck them silly until her desires were satisfied. She knew she would have to wait until Jack returned from his summer break, but she didn't know how she would make it that long.
As they drove home from their workout that day Dana found herself feeling nervous. Surely Mike had no idea what she had been thinking or how looking at his wet body had made her feel, but still she worried he would somehow know.
This began a trend that continued through the next couple of weeks. To her great surprise as her pent up lust grew with more time away from Jack, Dana found herself more and more frequently "noticing" Mike. She caught glimpses of him around the house and would secretly glance at him as he moved around the pool deck or worked out.
She continued telling herself it was only because he was so much like Todd, and that was definitely the truth, but deep down Dana wondered if she didn't start noticing Mike more because he reminded her of Jack rather than Todd. If she thought about it for too long she felt guilty and ashamed for even considering looking at Mike like that, but it was almost like she couldn't stop herself. Instead she tried not to think about what it meant for her to look at him and told herself that she wasn't harming anyone.
