Many thanks for all the feedback to date, and hugs and kisses to those who are now friends as a result. Special thanks to Allie - a real star. *** Sometimes it takes the sky to fall in before you realise things are not quite what they seemed... Okay, more precisely, it took a ceiling not the sky, but the principle is the same. The best part of two decades of supposed knowledge can disappear out of the window along with a few cubic metres of plaster dust and the comfortable feeling of equanimity and certainty. Of course, a little duplicity and the acknowledgement of the unknown also came into play, but mostly it was just a few hundred woodworms. My name's Allie to my friends or Alison to my more distant colleagues, my mother, and others. I'm what might be termed a typical English mum for these days, given that I divorced nine years ago when my son, Nathan, was just approaching ten, I have a full-time job (writing copy for websites), a small mortgage and a large overdraft. According to my best friend Melissa, I'm an atypical example of that species because I am, in her words, "ddc" -- drop-dead cute. Hey, she said it, not me, and I would like to note that comments like that are NOT why I adore her, and NOT why she is my best friend. Really. First thing most mornings, I even think that she might need her head examined, but let's just say that I am aware that I can still turn heads despite being in my mid-thirties now. I think I've graduated to 'atypical' status for another reason as well, and that's why I'm sitting here listening to the pitter-patter of little keystrokes. I don't exactly need to write down what's been happening for the last few weeks, but I know from recent conversations with a number of people that my story might help to a few others out there who are in my position, or considering it. And besides, just knowing what I'm going to tell you all about is giving me a real thrill... Let me fill you in, so to speak. It was a dark and stormy night... Really, it was stormy and let's face it, you don't get many bright nights (not out here in the countryside, anyway. After a month of hot, dry weather a wind had started to howl in the early evening and distant thunder rattled around the hills as soon as the night began to fall. The temperature dropped by ten degrees -- a relief -- and even my holidaying son, home from college for the summer, had made his way back to the little house not along after the sun dipped behind the trees. By the time Nathan headed for his room and I made my own weary way to bed, fat raindrops were splatting against the windows and the old roof-tiles, their percussions a rather beautiful syncopation against the near-constant howl of the building wind. Despite the fact that it was high summer, snuggling down into the bed felt like hibernation. Despite the noise of nature at its more demonstrative, I was asleep in seconds. I awoke with a start, disoriented in the darkness, the echoes of a loud report ringing in my head and in my room. On autopilot, I slipped out from under the covers and dragged a little robe over the ratty t-shirt I was using as a nightie, trying to wake myself sufficiently to work out what on earth had woken me so abruptly. A muffled curse from Nathan set my radar on the right track. "Nat? You Okay there?" "I think so, mum. Bit of a problem here though." I headed along to the second of the two bedrooms the house offered, and pushed the door open with some difficulty. "What's blocking... oh..." The floor of my son's room was strewn with plaster, rubble and timbers. Above us, the wind swirled around a gaping space. In short, what was once ceiling was now floor. "Sorry, mum, I just heard this big bang and woke up to find all this." I stepped gingerly over the debris and peered at my son in the gloom, "Forget that, are you okay? Did anything hit you?" "I got lucky, I guess. It must have all collapsed on the other side of the room first. I'm really sorry though, I mean-" "Oh hush! It's hardly your fault, is it?" I raised an eyebrow, "Unless you were sneaking through the loft hatch for a cigarette?" "Mum! How many more times, it was just the once and I hated it!" "Sorry, sorry, I know. I'm probably just a bit shook up. God, what a mess!" We looked around at the carnage, stopping only when the first raindrops spattered against us. I looked up to see a small hole in the tiles. "Looks like the collapse has brought down some of the roof as well." Nathan nodded, "Not a lot, but yeah." "Well you can't stay in here. It can't be safe." My organisational capabilities kicked in, content in the knowledge that my level-headed son would make sure that whatever I planned would work, "Go grab a bucket or three and we'll make sure that the rain doesn't wreck too much." "I could get the steps and climb up to see if there's anything I can block up there..." "Or break your neck in a dozen other ways. Let's reassess in the morning when we can see better." Nathan nodded and went to push back the coves. He paused, "Uh, mum? I don't actually have much on under here so if you could...?" His eyes indicated the door. "Oh don't be soppy," I laughed, "It's not as if I haven't-" "Mum? By not much, I mean nothing." "Oh... oh, right." I managed an 'embarrassed mum' laugh and retreated from his room. How times change, I was thinking, all innocent, you just don't notice how they grow up so fast, so suddenly... A flash, an image of his father as a young man -- when he was still fanciable -- crossed my mind, and I allowed myself a rueful smile. They had been happy times, innocent times in a way, but although there was an innocence about the place now, it was entirely different. A sigh might have passed my lips as I waited for Nathan to appear on his bucket quest. In the end it took us more than half an hour to locate a sufficient number of buckets and bowls to capture all of the leaks, and it took Nathan a further fifteen minutes to work out how to reconnect an electrical fuse (or whatever the hell he did) so that we could have sufficient lighting to see what had gone on. "It's a mess," we said, in unison, when we finally got to see Nathan's room by the light from the reconnected landing light. "That's an understatement," my son sighed, "I'm not sure I could sleep in there even if there weren't ten buckets making so much noise." "I wouldn't dream of making you, but the sofa is way too small for you now..." It was true -- Nathan had shot up amazingly during the summer -- but in any case I was beginning to feel the shock of the destruction, "Actually, I'm not I can sleep anyway, but..." I had a big, big bed, "but if you want to stay in my room tonight at least, there's plenty of space. Sleep or talk, I think I'm up for either." That's all it was, I swear. I had never, ever had any other thoughts about my son, my boy, and that night there was a certain appeal in the thought of company in a house that was suddenly pulled apart in one area. Plus I'm a mother. I could hardly have my son uncomfortable or whatever when I'm all snug and cosy in bed. And I'm a selfish mare - I could hardly give up said cosy bed... I never had any thought or doubts about my offer, and nor, it seemed, did Nathan who accepted with a shrug, no hint of any other thoughts crossing his face. "That's great, mum. Like you say, at least for tonight." We finished our cold drinks and headed for the relative comfort of my room a few minutes later. And I swear -- truly -- that I never had the slightest doubt or 'odd' thought. I slipped into my usual spot on one side of the wide bed, sliding my little robe off once the covers were safely pulled up to my neck (I may not have had any odd thoughts, but my innate shyness was evidently subconsciously functioning on high alert), and Nathan walked around to the opposite side, letting loose a sigh of relief as he stretched under the covers there. I had offered sleep or talk, privately thinking that only the latter was a viable option for me, but I was asleep in moments. I awoke to many unusual sensations, together combining to leave me a little disoriented at first. The wind had dropped leaving an echoing silence in the little house, shocking in its way after the natural chaos of the night before. It was light, although only a pre-dawn glow filtered through the curtains. And then there was that other thing. There was an unmistakable presence in my bed, other than me. It wasn't that I'd never had company in there since Nathan's father had left, but in what was nearly a decade, there had been precious few nights when I had shared, and certainly none in almost a year. To feel the mattress compressed by more than just my own weight was unsettling for a few moments until I remembered who was in there with me. And then came a second wave of unsettling feelings. Nathan wasn't just sharing the compression of my mattress or the comfort of my covers. My son was close to me, the few feet of space that had separated us before I fell asleep reduced to a few millimetres now. It had been a long time since any guy had shared my bed, and that gap in time seemed to stretch as I felt Nathan's hand on my upper arm -- it now seem like an eternity since I not only shared that bed space, but had been touched within its confines by another, no matter how innocently. And then... and then I began to realise something else. As soon as the term 'innocently' formed in my mind, I began to doubt it. I didn't react, didn't leap up in horror, physically or mentally... but I did begin to wonder. My son's breathing was deep, but what I had taken at first to be the breathing of a sleeping form I now began to realise could be something else altogether. Nathan's breaths were indeed deep, but there was a rapidity to them that belied the idea of sleep. It wasn't until that precise second, I swear, when I felt the first tiny inkling of something... other... some vague, distant sensation that I was no longer just a mother to this boy... this young man... who was so close to me now. When my sleep-fogged brain finally came to terms with the idea that there was a tiny chance that Nathan could be awake and laying there so close, I felt the tiniest flicker of something deep within my belly that had nothing whatsoever to do with motherhood, the only emotion I had ever felt before in connection with my son. My body switched fully from sleep to hyper-alert mode. Something made me play possum, some desire to understand what my son was thinking or feeling, maybe... or maybe something a little darker... in any case, I forced my breathing to maintain steady, deep rhythm. For what seemed like the longest time, there was no movement, no change in the arrangement of our bodies or limbs. Nathan rested being me, both of us facing the doorway, within millimetres but not quite touching, the only contact his left hand on my upper arm. It wasn't so much Nathan shifting position that sent my heartbeat soaring, but a subtle movement that brought a certain part of his anatomy -- a certain hard part -- into the gentlest of contacts with the thin fabric of my t-shirt nightie where it covered my bum. My Nathan -- my son -- was beside me in my bed, close, awake and now excited. From nowhere, emotions never before experienced by me flooded through my system. Unmistakably and undeniably, the proximity and excitement of my son sent a wave of arousal through every nerve and fibre of my being. But was imagining things? Was I exaggerating everything in my mind -- half-crazed mind? Nathan softly shuffled closer, closing the gap between us as gently as he could manage. It was all I could do not to cry out -- with an emotion that might have been tinged with alarm but which was mostly comprised of sudden, shocking, desire. Any doubts I'd had about what Nathan might have been feeling were washed away as I felt his hardness pressed more firmly against the soft flesh of my butt, and any doubts I might have had about what was causing his excitement dissipated as the fingers of his hand shifted very slightly from my upper arm to the side of my breast. As time stood still, I became almost painfully aware that Nathan was dressed in just boxers and a t-shirt -- and more to the point, that I wore just that old t-shirt as a nightie. I also became aware that my son was gently -- almost too gently to notice -- increasing and decreasing the pressure between us. With each subtle, slight, gentle rock of his hips I could somehow feel more of his erection -- and each delicate movement raised the pressure within me. One miniscule fraction of my mind refused to believe what was happening -- refused to both acknowledge what my Nathan must be feeling, and refused to accept that it aroused me in such a shockingly unexpected way -- but despite that tiny fragment of my consciousness, it was so hard not to cry out in disappointment when my son rolled quickly away from me and out of the bed. Before I could quite work out what was happening, he had shuffled out of the room and the sound of the bathroom door closing told me where he'd headed. My fevered brain could only guess at what that might mean, but when he didn't return within a couple of minutes I finally dared to wonder... hope... With a shake of my head, confused and not a little embarrassed at what I was thinking, I slipped from the bed and crept hesitantly towards my son's new lair. I had been worried about getting close and him emerging, catching me in my naughty role as spy-mum, but I needn't have fretted. I was still several feet from the door when the unmistakable sounds of his panting, gasping breaths made themselves heard. A low keening sound accompanied the muffled grunts and gasps and I was flooded with yet more arousal as I acknowledged what my son was doing in there -- and what had prompted his retreat. I was wondering whether I dare risk just the tiniest touch of self-pleasure when the noises from the bathroom grew in intensity and pace. Somehow, the knowledge that my boy was reaching his climax still took me by surprise, and my left hand snaked under the front of my old t-shirt, seeking my heat and moisture, before I turned and fled back to the bed. As Nathan let relief flood him in the safety of the bathroom, my own need for release was mounting to a seemingly unstoppable height. It was all crazy, all so unplanned, unexpected... all so very intense... but I couldn't let go, just couldn't. I'm no different to most women, and my orgasms -- rare as they might be -- tend to be long, drawn out affairs. Certainly not something I could risk Nathan returning and seeing -- no matter how that held a shocking appeal to me. I needed time to thick, time to consider what had happened, and for that I needed the pretence of innocence. Somehow I managed to take a few deep, calming breaths, dragging myself back from the brink and into some semblance of calm before Nathan crept back into the room, intent on not disturbing me. Alright for you, I thought, my mind whirling as he settled across the bed from me What a day that became. Nathan dashed off somewhere as early as I guess he dared, making some excuse about needing to meet up with Tom (his friend from the next village), and I set about trying to get a builder to look at the damage to the bedroom ceiling and the roof above it. Mostly though, I spent my hours in deep, confusing thought. Debate, even. Despite the evidence, I was still struggling to come to terms with what had happened. As the day wore on, though, I was finally able to acknowledge the truth of the events of the early morning, and the truth of my pleasure. What I couldn't be so sure about was what it really meant from Nathan's perspective, and just how much of an aberration his behaviour had been to him. At a little after five that afternoon, with builders due to arrive to look at the damage no earlier than the next day, I was surprised to discover that I had come up with a wild plan to try to fill in the considerable gap in my knowledge. Had it been a circumstantial one-off, or was there something deeper in Nathan's behaviour? I had researched as much as I dared -- as skilled as I was at writing copy for a wide variety of websites, I'm actually pretty dumb when it comes to anything computer-related -- but all of the answers I'd received served to add to my confusion. Because I have a naturally enquiring mind (or, yes, because I'm a nosy bitch) I found myself still needing answers, and willing to take rather drastic steps in order to satisfy that curiosity. With the builders not even due to look at the damage until the next day, there was at least one more opportunity to have my son share my bed that very night, and although I didn't want anything to really happen -- honestly -- I understood well enough that the opportunity was too precious to lose. If he became excited once more, if his behaviour indicated that he wanted to be placed in that sort of proximity again, then at least I would know that I aroused him. And yes, I had to admit to myself that I liked that idea. Or rather, adored that idea. That would only leave me the question of whether it was specifically me that engendered that response in him, or whether any female would do. It was a case of 'might as well be hung for a sheep as lamb' given what I was already thinking of for the night, and I determined to find out a little more -- as subtly as I could -- before we even headed for bed that night... Now there was a thought that gave me pause. I retreated to the bathroom, locking the door behind me even though Nathan wasn't due home for another hour. I didn't want my sudden need to interfere with my plans even by chance. As masturbation sessions go, it was extremely rewarding. I think part of me -- a subconscious part, maybe -- thought that seeking relief behind the closed bathroom door might remove, or at least quieten, the inquisitive part of me that was planning its nefarious ways for later that night. Unfortunately -- or rather, fortunately -- that did not prove to be the case, and I was soon into the swing of my investigations when Nathan appeared back at the house. I left him to eat before I moved myself into the kitchen where he was trawling through an Xbox magazine, setting my trusty laptop down on the counter by the window and opening an internet session I had set up earlier. I let out a sigh -- probably an overly theatrical one, but hey, I'm paid to write garbage not act in soap operas. "Tough job, mum?" "You could say that, Nat. I guess you might like it, but I don't get much of a kick out of describing the skimpy outfits this mob are selling." If I thought he might bite, I was disappointed. Or was I? "Not my thing," he said, without even looking up from the magazine. "I thought all you teenage guys were into skimpily-clad women. Something, you're not telling me, Natalie?" He deigned to look up long enough to give me a dirty look which turned quickly into a smile, "Nice try, mum, but you're gonna have to put up with a string of my girlfriends over the next year or two, so no nice young guys will be presented for you." "They'd hardly be much use to me if you were presenting them anyway, would they?" I countered, "But you never know, I might be bisexual and just haven't told you. Perhaps I'm actually looking forward to your string of girlfriends." Bulls-eye. "You're, um, not, though, really? I mean, um, obviously if you are then... well then that's okay and all that but.. I mean, really?" "Well now," I gave him a mischievous grin, "Not that it's any of your business, I..." There was a flicker of something that almost put me off my stroke, but I finally recovered enough to put him out of what I was rapidly realising was his misery, "I am, in fact, entirely straight, so I won't be lining up a series of girlfriends for you." Heaven's Below He cleared his throat, "That's, um, good. I mean, not that it would bother me either way." My son was clearly a worse actor than I was an actress, "Glad to hear it," I told him, totally unsure what the hell I meant by that, "But getting back to the real world and on a totally different subject, what time do you have to be out tomorrow morning?" He shrugged, "I don't have to be out by any particular time. I said I'd meet Tom sometime but we were going to go online at home before we meet up anyway." "Playing silly games on your thingy-box?" "X, and yeah. Why do you ask?" "The builders will be here around nine to look at your ceiling and there's a chance I'll need to go into the office first thing, so if you're going to be around that would help me a ton." Nathan gave another of his trademark shrugs, "Sure, no probs, mum. I, um, guess... well.." "What?" "I was just going to say that it's probably fair anyway. I mean if you're sure you don't mind me stealing some bed space for another night?" "I'm sure," I assured him, managing to control my features, "But I think I'll pop a sleeping pill tonight to make sure I sleep through until the alarm. It could be a busy day." "Oh, um, yeah, well whatever. I'll, er, try to be as quiet as possible." The tension was becoming unbearable and I closed my laptop, heading for the door, "Shouldn't matter with those pills, but it's appreciated anyway." I just hoped he didn't see how much I was starting to tremble on my way out. It was another three hours before it was time for bed -- a mutually agreed time between Nathan and me, based on tiredness levels, the expected times we had to be up the next morning, and how long it would be before fatigue overcame nervousness and embarrassment at what might happen next -- mutually exclusive sentiments as far as we both knew. When the time finally rolled around we were full of that false bonhomie that is normally only found at the worst kinds of business meeting, or when saying thank you to ageing relatives, face to face, for those wonderful hand-knitted birthday presents that are just so perfectly crafted that you wonder how you've managed without a three-armed cardigan for so long. In that shade of brown. By some form of mental mind-meld agreement that would have embarrassed Spock with it's efficiency, we managed to time final trips to the bathroom to change into our nightwear, followed by dives under the covers, so that somehow, we never saw each other before our heads were both on our pillows. Not easy, but a relief when achieved with such aplomb. I have no idea to this day exactly what Nathan was thinking as I shut off the bedside lamp, but I was fairly certain he must be able to hear the mad whirl of my thoughts. Or maybe, my heart hammering away at my ribs. Somehow I managed to mutter something about the 'pill kicking in', yawned a few times, and forced my breathing pattern to settle into a gentle, deep rhythm. I drew the line at faking a couple of snores, though. Give me some credit... I knew that Nathan wouldn't be bold enough to try anything too quickly, whether my sleeping pill act was Oscar-worthy or not, but at the same time knew that I wouldn't fall asleep too easily. I lay there thinking. Right and wrong, and truths and lies -- these were completely different arguments, different subjects. Whether I was doing a right thing or a wrong thing, I was at least doing something that was truthful to myself rather than trying to justify a lie by avoiding these new feelings. I had no idea what (or rather how) I was going to be feeling come morning, or indeed, whether anything would happen to trigger any feelings at all, but the knowledge that I could just be blowing things out of all proportion and that nothing at all might happen, simply didn't calm me. Back to truth and lies, and I realised that the plain truth was that I wanted something to happen. Equally true was that I had no idea exactly what I wanted to happen, just that I didn't want anything too... extreme. I wondered how I would ever manage to deal with the disappointment if nothing happened at all... and that was the last thought I recall before sleep took me. Déjà vu, or possibly déjà touché... I awoke just as I had in the early hours of the morning before, weak pre-dawn light filtering into the room. Just like twenty-four hours earlier I sensed Nathan close behind me, facing the same way as me, his hand once more upon my upper arm. I was even managing to keep my breathing nice and even. That impression of a perfect replay of the previous day's events was lost as Nathan shuffled closer to me, his already tumescent excitement making it's hungry presence felt against my bum. A soft, whispered 'mum?', couple with a soft tightening of his hand on my arm cleared my mind of any confusion. My boy was trying to make sure that I was fully under the influence of the sleeping pill that I had supposedly taken a few hours earlier. Keeping my breathing deep and even after that realisation was even harder, but I evidently managed well enough -- or Nathan was simply too desperate to notice any change in my demeanour -- because, evidently too eager to check any more thoroughly, he pressed even tighter against me. Even though my boy was wearing boxers and my t-shirt nightie came down to mid-thigh, I swear I could feel the veins in his erection as it rested hard and hot against me. One of my doubts evaporated, and when Nathan's hand moved from my upper arm and on to the side of my breast, the rest turned to vapour as well. Nathan, my boy, my son, was holding me, excited and aroused as only a man can be, and my body and mind were in ecstasy. For what seemed like an eternity, Nathan never moved a muscle, just a deep pulse within his erect member letting me know that he was present in body and mind. Then his hand slipped further around my chest, cupping my breast with a gentleness that almost brought a moan from my lips. My nipples were both hard and erect -- had been ever since I awoke -- and my son's palm covered one with a firm heat that felt like no touch I had ever experienced. The sensation of fondling my breast brought more animation to my boy. His hips moved gently, his erection softly but rhythmically pressing firmer into the flesh of my butt. I was in heaven, knowing that my body was pleasing my son so much, that he was enjoying this taboo exploration to the point of rapture. When his hand left my breast, the moment's disappointment was almost immediately replaced with a surge of new excitement as the fingers settled on my thigh and started to inch higher, taking the hem of my t-shirt with them. Within a few joyous seconds, one half of the bottom of my makeshift nightie slipped up and over the mound of my butt, Nathan rocking his hips away from me just long enough to free the garment. I could now feel his hardness through his boxers, directly against my bare flesh and my body reacted without my control, pressing back firmly, invitingly. Nathan froze, and I somehow had the presence of mind to snort softly, willing him to believe that I was in the midst of a dream, before settling myself more firmly against my pillow. Once more, either he was satisfied with the veracity of my performance, or he was simply too desperate to care too much, because he left me to settle for only a few seconds before the grip of his hand on my now naked hip became a little firmer as he pressed himself more tightly to me. When the hand left my flesh again, I was less quick to feel disappointment, instead feeling a kind of 'what now?' hope and excitement. He rocked away from me once more and I felt a rustle of material close behind me, sending a flash of excitement right to the core of me. When he rolled back against me, I realised that he hadn't pushed his boxers down very far. But far enough that the top couple of inches of his penis were free. As his hot, hard flesh touched the softness of my butt, Nathan stifled a groan -- unwittingly as I did the same. My son's movements become less restrained, less careful. His hand quickly slid back under my t-shirt, resting first at my hip where he used it to brace me as he pressed his half-naked erection against me, and then letting it slide higher, along my side, my ribs, the fingers beating a soft, fluttering tattoo against my skin. The whole scene was making me feel dumb with the shock of extreme desire, but I was still smart enough to realise that he was seeking my breast once more, this time under my nightie. And I wanted that touch. Nathan's shaking fingers reached the underside of my breast, and as they stretched to cup me I felt the first shudder pulse through him. This time he didn't manage to stifle a desperate whimper, and he squeezed my breast hurriedly, yet still gently, before his hand snaked back down past my hips, grabbing for his boxers. He was rolling away from me before I realised it -- more déjà vu -- and out of my bed and my room before I could do anything too damned stupid for words. This time, though, I didn't leave myself unsatisfied, my hand sliding down to the sopping wet, hot centre of me, fingers penetrating my sex in a second, a few short caresses enough to send a delicious, dirty-minded, delightful orgasm through me. I was even fast enough to appear completely asleep before Nathan crept back into bed. The next day was no less full of wild thoughts as the previous one, but with me needing to go into the office, I was far less preoccupied. Besides, when Nathan called me -- a tad sheepishly -- to say that the builders wouldn't be able to start on his ceiling and the roof for another couple of days, decisions and demurrals were set aside. I had no idea whether Nathan bribed the builders to say that, and it didn't and doesn't matter to me. By the time I left work I was content in the knowledge that my doubts had been cleared, and that I couldn't lie to myself about how much I had enjoyed my part in the naughtiness of the previous night. And that a third night of joy was likely. I would tell you how the evening passed in a blur of embarrassed evasions and the avoidance of eye contact, but in truth Nathan went off to a local bar where some guitar band were getting paid to practice second-rate covers. Actually they might have been rather good, but they delayed my preparations, so I wasn't feeling that charitable towards them. I was still awake and sitting in the kitchen when my boy got back at eleven (as I would have been at midnight, one in the morning, or just about any hour, come to that), and all I can truly recall about the half hour before we turned in was that I made a probably over-exaggerated play of 'taking my pill' (never has an M&M been so well-treated), and that neither of us were very relaxed. My body, however, evidently knew what was good for us all, and against every conceivable likelihood, it fell asleep within a few minutes of settling into bed. My body also managed to reduce the early build-up of sexual tension for me as well, not allowing me to wake until Nathan had evidently been getting into the spirit of things for a few minutes. My makeshift nightie was already lifted to a point where one of my butt cheeks was bared, my boy's fingers caressing my hip, but his own boxers were still keeping his super-heated erection covered. Somehow it all still felt like a surprise to wake like that, and I carefully made sure I was still apparently sleeping as far as my boy was concerned. To judge by the firmness of some of his movements, I was fairly sure that he had tried to make sure the 'pill' was working well already, and it was purely by chance -- or subconscious good fortune -- that I had been genuinely deeply asleep. As Nathan's fingers slid smoothly along my ribs and came to rest against the soft flesh of the underside of my bare breast, I travelled from soft, waking excitement to the deepest, wildest arousal that I had ever felt in a fraction of a second. After resting there for just a second or two, those fingers moved higher, my breast falling into the welcoming cup her made of his hand, my tingling, sparking nipple pressing against his hot palm. Tonight there was clearly more control in his movements and the vague man-odour that wafted from his hot body spoke of earlier preparations. My heart skipped a couple of beats as I realised that he had taken steps to ensure that he would be able to control himself better tonight, and a tiny little spark of undirected fear added a frisson of something altogether darker to the already scintillating excitement that coruscated through me. To double-check my theory, I let out a soft snuffle as I had the previous night, and Nathan paused rather than froze as he had before -- a sure indication that his faith in pharmacology was more secure. Indeed, as soon as I had settled deeper into my pillow, his hand attended to his boxers, freeing even more of his erect member this night. As its heat settled against my bare butt, I became aware of just how close that erection was to my sex -- inches -- and felt another surge of excitement and another flash of that dark fear. I doubted he would take matters that far, and was sure that I would find a way out of the situation if he did. In any case, there was plenty more to come before anything like that needed serious consideration, and as if to prove the point, my boy's hand slid back to my breast. Unlike the previous nights, he allowed himself the luxury -- for both of us -- of rocking his hips harder, pleasuring himself openly against my bare butt even as his hand explored the one of my breasts that he could feel easily. For my part, I had been pleasured before on numerous occasions, but no one had ever induced such ecstasy as my boy was doing, even though his actions were, relatively, tame. When he shifted back a fraction and his hand attempted to move me further onto my back rather than side, I offered no resistance at all. As my shoulders settled against the mattress, I became very aware of the fact that my nightie was now settled around my waist -- and that with nothing underneath it, my pussy was bare. The sudden cessation of movement -- breathing from Nathan let me know that there was sufficient pre-dawn light for him to see a little in the bedroom. My son had bared my pussy and was staring at it... I let loose a little moan of pure pleasure, quickly turning it into a deep dream mutter, snuggling my head into the pillow. I could handle it, I told myself, I was in control still, there was plenty of- Nathan's fingers trembled a little as they touched my belly. They trembled more as they slid oh so slowly lower. As his index finger met the top of my wet, hot lips, my legs parted a little in desperate response. Nathan paused for a fraction, but desire overrode every care, overrode caution. His finger slid along my wetness, finding the soft, welcoming centre of me. The tip of it parted me. It slid inside. Above me, I heard his soft gasp, and then, so gently, "Oh, mum, I'm so bad, but you're just so beautiful!" It wasn't intended for my ears, I'm sure, but any man who uttered words to me that dripped with so much love and care and desire... any man who said something so beautiful would have won my heart. And my mind. And my body. I opened my eyes and lifted a hand, placing it on top of the one he was using to stroke my moist centre. My son flinched, but I held him there. "Nathan? I love you, you know?" "Mum! I'm so-" I held his hand tighter as he made to pull away once more, "Do you really think I'm so beautiful?" "I just-" "Do you? Really?" His jaw was open, his eyes wide. He swallowed, "Yes. Yes, you are. I couldn't help but-" "Thank you. And you must take after me you know?" "What?" "Nathan, you're a beautiful young man. Forget everything else about us and... can we... just share those feelings?" "Mum... I don't understand." I blinked slowly, "Let's just say we're two people -- two beautiful people if you insist -- and we love what we see. Let's just be those people and enjoy. Everything." There was a moment's pause before he nodded. My son is not just a wonderful looking young man, he's as smart as they come. He nodded again, "Okay. If you're-" "Shush. I am. Now can you please get this silly t-shirt off me because it's damned uncomfortable bunched up underneath me like this?" He gave another nod and moved his hand from my groin, leaving a sense of loss adding the promise of so much joy to follow. I sat up and he pulled the makeshift nightie free of me, baring my breasts to his eager gaze. When I pointed at his boxers he finally smiled, scrambling out of them to sit naked beside me. I returned the smile and lifted a hand to his erection, sighing as I wrapped my hand around its heat and solidity. "If," I said, a moment's uncertainty washing through me, "I said that I wanted this, would that shock or offend you?" I was rewarded with an even broader smile. "Shock, sure, but only because I didn't think I was that lucky." "Oh, you're gonna have a happy life if you keep that sort of smooth talk up. And talking about keeping things up..." In a trance, Nathan moved across, his knees slipping between mine, his weight hovering directly over me as I guided his hot, hard erection lower. There was a pause -- seconds or centuries -- as the head of his glorious cock rested against my sex. We stared deep into each others' eyes. I flexed my hips and the tip of that gorgeous young cock slipped easily between my lips. I'm not sure who gasped the loudest at that point, but I'm damned sure it was me as my boy started to slide deeper inside me. We fitted together so well right from that first moment. Moved together so well, also. Within seconds, my boy, my Nathan, was making love to me like a familiar lover. The feel of his hard young cock thrilled me, thrilled my pussy, thrilled my soul, and my arousal level soared. There was no tiny spark of fear, no thought of anything except the mutual pleasure we were giving and receiving. There was no sense of anything falling short of want or need or expectation, even when Nathan climaxed suddenly and copiously, prompting a hard, fast orgasm from me. We held each other tightly, knowing without saying a word that there would be many more times. None better, maybe, but many more. We weren't wrong.
