Melissa’s Journey: Staying Home

This is the fourth installment of Melissa's Journey. The story can stand alone, but the first three stories, and particularly the third chapter, Melissa's Journey: Close to Home, may add context.

Melissa, known to her friends as Mel, was about to turn 45, but she looked younger. For a few years, she had been reflecting on her sexual desires, fantasies, and interests, and that led to two intimate encounters well over a year earlier. Then, just the day before, Mel volunteered to check in on Zach, her best friend's eighteen-year-old son, who was recovering from knee surgery. A series of unexpected events snowballed until her sincere good deed ended up with Mel giving Zach his first hand job until he came in her hands. Mel knew yesterday would never have happened before her newfound sexual exploration. But, having unleashed her more uninhibited mind, the combination of Zach's obvious sexual arousal and his apparent lack of sexual experience combined to allow Mel to act on the erotic energy in the moment. Giving Zach much-needed relief also, in a strange way, satisfied Mel's maternal caretaker instincts.

Mel woke early Wednesday and immediately thought about the day before. She was aware that, unlike her two prior dalliances, she had not texted her husband after and did not mention it the night before. Mel was not concerned about him being upset; it was more about her feeling that the "story" wasn't yet over. She knew the plan was for her to "check in" on Zach all week while her friend Susie was at work, and it was only Wednesday. Mel also wondered how Zach, being so inexperienced, would feel about what happened, and she was most concerned that he not feel at all uncomfortable. So Mel decided she would share what happened with her husband when it was clear exactly what that was.

Before 8 am, Susie texted Mel to say Zach had slept well and had his first in-home physical therapy session later that morning, and that Susie had bought all the fixings for sub sandwiches for lunch. Another text read: "Zach said lunch yesterday was amazing Thx again for doing this Love u." Mel responded by text: "Totally my pleasure. Love u too." Mel planned to get to Susie's house a little before noon, and she took a long time deciding what to wear. She ultimately decided on straight leg jeans, a snug print button down blouse, and gold platform sandals. She had a thought to go without a bra, which she could pull off in that top, but she decided to wear a light purple, front-clasp bra that was flirtier than usual for that type of outfit. Mel smiled to herself at how closely she examined her outfit, and at the last moment she decided to undo one extra button on her top.

Mel got to Susie's (and Zach's) at about ten minutes before noon and knocked on the door, but she let herself in, so Zach did not have to get up to answer the door. She felt a few butterflies in her stomach from wondering how Zach would react. When Mel walked in, the urgency in Zach's eyes told Mel he was still thinking about what happened the day before, and she knew Zach hoped today would hold more of the same. His expression, and the tingle running down her spine, told Mel it probably would. "Hey sweetie, how was physical therapy," Mel asked with a friendly smile that didn't reflect the tension in her midsection.

"It wasn't bad Mrs. C.," Zach said in classic teenager non-disclosure mode. She wondered if he had any earthly idea how much his calling her "Mrs. C." affected her.

"That's good," she said. "And how have the cramps been?" Mel asked. The question hung in the air given that a cramp was what led to Mel jerking off Zach the day before. Zach was clearly flustered by the question and what it conjured up.

"Better," Zach said, a little nervously. "But I've still had a few," he added, looking almost hopefully into Mel's eyes. Mel smiled, now knowing for sure Zach was hoping for a repeat of the day before. She was surprised by how much that realization aroused her.

"I'm glad I'm here then," Mel said, wanting Zach to understand he was in control of what happened.

"So am I," Zach gulped, and his eyes briefly lowered to Mel's breasts before looking up at her eyes again.

"So, are you hungry, young man?" Mel asked almost flirtatiously. Zach nodded and broke into a big smile. Mel moved near him and touched his nose with her index finger, which Zach clearly liked. "Then I will be right back," she said. Before heading into the kitchen, Mel could not help but notice Zach was already erect under his athletic shorts.

Mel assembled a fulsome foot-long sub, calling out to ask Zach what he wanted on the sandwich. She added chips, grabbed a ginger ale from the fridge, and walked back to the living room. This time Zach looked at her almost desperately, and there was no hiding the obvious bulge in his shorts. "Here you are sweetie," Mel said as she moved a TV tray by the sofa and leaned over to set down the plate and the soda, treating Zach to a view of her cleavage. She looked up to see Zach just staring at her. Mel smiled and asked, "Is everything okay, Zach?" He nodded ever so slightly. "Are you sure?" Mel asked softly.

Zach swallowed and smiled awkwardly. Mel smiled back and raised her eyebrows as if to ask if there was something he wanted to say. "I... well... I can't stop thinking about yesterday," Zach struggled to say, sending a shudder through Mel. She smiled warmly, trying to stay nonchalant, and wanting him to be comfortable. "I thought about it last night in bed," he shared, looking slightly embarrassed. "And this morning too when I woke up," he gushed, clearly nervous but also excited to be telling her what he was feeling. Mel was trembling and not sure exactly how to respond, so she smiled again warmly. "It was the most amazing thing ever... so I guess I wanted to say thank you" Zach added.

Mel could feel how nervous Zach was trying to articulate his unfamiliar and very personal feelings, and she desperately wanted to hug him. But Zach was in uncharted emotional territory and obviously sexually aroused, so Mel knew she had to be careful. His pleading eyes, however, proved irresistible. Mel moved the TV tray and leaned over to hug Zach, saying breathlessly "Oh Zach, you are precious." He sat up just enough to allow Mel to wrap her arms around him and pull him close, pressing his face into her bosom in an erotic mix of sexual contact and matronly comfort. As she held him, though, Zach moaned softly and his face nuzzled her chest, his nose against the skin exposed by her unbuttoned top. Mel knew that his eighteen-year-old hormones were raging, and her body tingled as well.

She ended the hug and patted on the edge of the couch so that Zach shifted over to clear a spot where she sat down near his hip. Zach looked at Mel with glassy eyes that twice glanced down at her cleavage. "You are what is amazing, Zach," Mel said flirtatiously. "You are being so brave." He shook his head and started to say something, but the words didn't come out. Mel touched Zach's arm. "So, are you thinking about yesterday right now?" she asked softly.

"God yes," Zach gasped. "I can't help it," he added, glancing briefly at his hardon and Mel's chest before looking back into her eyes. "I never thought anything could feel so good," he said, blushing a little. His unfiltered and heartfelt explanation made it hard for Mel to keep her composure.

"I'm so glad it felt good," she said, immediately realizing it was kind of an awkward thing to say. But Zach's longing expression made it clear he wanted "Mrs C." to help him feel good again, and Mel knew she could not deny him that pleasur. Looking into Zach's eyes, Mel took his right hand and placed it on her left breast, and she watched him squeeze tentatively. Zach looked at his hand, barely able to believe what was happening, and he squeezed a little harder. Mel's left hand moved to feel Zach's erect cock through his shorts, and he gasped and looked at Mel.

"Does that feel good?" Mel asked in a whisper. Zach didn't know if she meant him touching her or her touching him, but it didn't matter. He groaned and nodded affirmatively. Mel gave him a reassuring smile, and with Zach watching her every move she undid two more buttons on her blouse and fumbled for a second as she unhooked the front-clasp of her bra. Zach's eyes widened as the bra cups separated, even though he held one in place and the other stayed over her breast. He could not take his eyes away from the bare skin visible between Mel's breasts. His hand continued to squeeze her breast which felt a little different with her bra undone. Mel felt her nipples stiffen.

They touched each other like that for a moment, and Mel assumed Zach would not last long in his aroused state. She stopped rubbing Zach and gently moved his hand off her breast. He looked puzzled until Mel said, "Close your eyes." Zach had no idea what Mel was thinking, but he did as she said. "No peeking," she teased, and he assured her his eyes were shut. Mel slid her bra straps down and pulled the bra off through the arm of her blouse, tossing it on to a chair. Giving in to her own arousal, and having witnessed Zach's infatuation with her breasts, Mel undid the remaining buttons of her blouse. "Keep them closed mister," Mel said playfully, and she adjusted her blouse so that it covered her breasts but was noticeably open to display the inner third of both breasts.

Mel's right hand slid under Zach's t-shirt, and she caressed his young, solid abs before she said "Okay, you can open them." Zach was shocked but very excited to see Mel with no bra, her chest and stomach exposed, and her breasts provocatively uncovered. Try as he might, he could not help but gaze at her boobs and bare tummy. Mel's nails dragged slowly down Zach's firm stomach and her fingers slipped inside the waistband of his shorts and pushed them down to just above his pubic hair, where she softly scratched Zach's abdomen. His hard cock twitched under his shorts. Zach's eyes darted nervously between her chest, her face, and her hand, but her breasts most captured his attention.

"You can put your hand back where it was," Mel said, realizing her own mouth was a little dry. Zach looked at her wide-eyed, processing what the implication of what she had said. He seemed to be looking for her to confirm he had permission. "Inside my blouse if you want to," Mel offered. Zach's body shuddered as he reached his right hand toward Mel's left breast. To get under her blouse, he had to push it open and expose her breast, which made him pause as he saw her bare breast and nipple before cupping her tit. Mel shuddered at the idea of Zach seeing and touching her bare breast, realizing it likely was Zach's first time seeing and touching a female that way. Her left hand moved back to grasp Zach's erection through his shorts.

Almost immediately a wet spot formed on Zach's shorts from the pre-cum oozing from his throbbing cock, and Zach's face showed his building sexual excitement. Her right hand reached further under his shorts to fondle his dick, and her left hand massaged his balls. Zach's hand squeezed Mel's breast and his fingers pinched and pulled her nipple. Mel sensed he was losing control, so she stood up, reached down to grab the waistband of Zach's shorts, and pulled them down carefully over the leg brace. As Mel leaned over, her boobs swayed freely and her blouse fell open. Zach gazed at her exposed tits, and he moaned audibly as Mel's left hand wrapped around his stiff cock as it sprung free from his shorts. Mel sat back down and began to slowly stroke Zach's hardon.

Zach reached out both hands to grab Mel's breasts, fumbling roughly, and his breathing became heavier and faster. Mel smiled at Zach as she squeezed and stroked him more firmly. He barely acknowledged her smile, closed his eyes, and laid his head back. Mel's right hand scraped over Zach's stomach as her left fondled his now-sticky cock. Mel knew he would come fairly soon, and she had a panicked thought about making a mess on Susie's couch. Driven by a mix of wanting to protect her friend's furniture and her own sexual arousal, Mel waited until Zach got to the edge, and she quickly twisted her body to take the head of Zach's cock into her mouth just a second or two before he erupted in an orgasm. Mel closed her mouth on Zach and swallowed five or six blasts of Zach's cum.

When she felt that Zach was mostly spent, Mel looked up to see Zach looking shocked that "Mrs. C." was staring back at him with his cock in her mouth. For her part, Mel was surprised at how sexually alive she felt. Her journey had taken her to a totally unexpected place, and she was keenly aware of the moment. Although Mel genuinely wanted Zach to experience sexual pleasure, she would not deny that this all excited her too. Looking up at Zach, Mel sucked the last drop of sperm from hic cock and let him slip from her mouth, before licking the still-sensitive head. Without a word, she moved up to kiss his lower abdomen then and slowly sat up, with Zach still feeling one tit. "Did that feel good too," Mel asked softly.

Zach sighed. "Oh man, so great," he said, glancing at his hand on Mel's breast. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. And thank you," Mel said as she looked at the nearby tray. "You need to eat your lunch, sweetie," she added, before standing up and moving the tray closer to Zach, who just looked at Mel standing there with her blouse totally open and her bare breasts on display. She picked up Zach's shorts from the floor and, without a word, she put them on Zach and, with his help, slid them up his legs and over the brace. "Do you need anything more?" Mel asked, and even Zach picked up on the double entendre. He smiled and shook his head. "Then, eat up. I'll be back in a minute," Mel said, and she headed to the bathroom.

Mel washed her hands which were sticky from Zach's pre-cum. She looked in the mirror and took a deep breath, still processing what was happening. She knew she was being kind of reckless, but Zach clearly was enjoying her attention, and she told herself he deserved to have a safe and caring introduction to sex. Mel had not expected to take Zach in her mouth (at least not yet), but it felt right, and it was very erotic seeing Zach look down at her as she held his spent cock in her mouth. Mel ran her fingers through her disheveled her, wishing she had brought a brush, and saw that her lipstick was only slightly smudged. She noticed how provocative she looked braless with her blouse unbuttoned, and she buttoned only the three bottom buttons, leaving the top undone to the middle of her tummy. She decided she was put together as much as was possible, and she headed back to the living room where Zach had only one bite of sandwich left.

When Zach saw her unbuttoned blouse his eyes twinkled, and he smiled at Mel as if to thank her. He watched Mel stacking the plate and empty soda, catching several glimpses of her bare breasts under her open blouse. Mel had to admit she enjoyed being exposed that way, and it was particularly erotic that Zach was her audience. She moved deliberately until she finally went back to the kitchen to get Zach another soda. It was just past 12:30, and Mel chuckled to herself that it had already been quite an eventful day. Her phone buzzed with a text from Susie asking if lunch was okay, and Mel responded to assure her it was. "He is very sweet" Mel added to her text, embarrassed by the thought of adding "and creamy." "Love u" Mel texted and headed back to the living room.

Zach was holding his phone, and he looked sheepishly at Mel. "My mom texted to ask how lunch was," he said. Mel raised her eyebrows, and Zach added, "I told her it was the best lunch I ever had." Zach grinned, and Mel smiled and shook her head. "She texted back that I always loved homemade subs." Zach smiled broadly, obviously enjoying that he and Mel were sharing a salacious secret and joke.

"I'm glad you liked it," Mel teased. She noticed Zach could not stop looking at her open blouse and bare tummy.

"I was telling the truth. It was the best lunch I ever had," Zach said. "And the sub was pretty good too," Zach added as a punchline, smiling and proud of his joke. Mel laughed at Zach's comment, surprised how much more comfortable he seemed that the day before or even when Mel first arrived that morning.

Mel told him she had some work to do, and Zach said he had some schoolwork too. Mel set her laptop on the coffee table that usually was in front of the couch that Susie had moved to make it easier for Zach to get up and down on the couch. She sat on the floor cross-legged facing Zach. "Is it okay if I work here today," Mel asked, knowing the answer. In that position, as Mel knew, Zach could see her open blouse and the parts of both breasts, and he assured her that was "great." So, Mel set about trying to respond to some e-mails and take care of some work tasks. Zach tried to focus on his schoolwork too, but he could not stop peeking over at Mel and thinking about what had happened earlier.

At one point Zach, struggled to get up to go the bathroom. Mel jumped up, helped him stand, and gave him his crutches. When she steadied Zach and reached for his crutches, Mel felt her blouse open, exposing her left breast. But Mel was in nurse mode, and she focused on giving him the crutches. "Are you okay, sweetie?" Mel asked. Zach's funny smile suggested he had a thought about Mel helping him in the bathroom, but he assured her he was fine. Mel helped Zach in reverse when he returned, making sure he was again comfortable on the couch, before leaning over to kiss his forehead, treating Zach to a clear view of her bare breasts.

Just before 4:00, Mel's phone buzzed with a text from Susie: "Great news! We made so much progress, I can work from home after today" Mel looked at Zach to see if he got a similar text, but his phone was silent.

"Wow. Great. U are amazing" Mel texted back, thinking how Zach would feel about the news. She also took a moment to recognize a tinge of her own disappointment. Just then, Zach's phone buzzed, and he looked at a text from his mom. His face immediately registered disappointment, and he glanced over to see Mel looking at him empathically.

"Did you get a text from my mom?" he asked. Mel nodded.

"Your mom is so talented, and she is very worried about you. I'm not surprised she got things under control at work," Mel said. "It was so hard for her not to be able to stay home."

Zach looked almost sad. "Is it terrible for me to wish she had to work?" Zach asked with a shrug.

Mel smiled, stood up, and moved over to kneel by the couch like she had the day before. Her left hand slid under Zach's tee and ran over his abs almost to his chest. "It's not terrible, Zach," Mel assured him. "A lot has happened yesterday and today," she continued, unsure what she wanted to say. Zach sighed deeply. "But nobody will take care of you like your mom," Mel added. Zach gave her a dubious look, as both understood why he was disappointed, and that Susie was not going to "take care of" Zach in the way he was thinking. "Your mom is the best," Mel said to just fill the void.

"I know, Mrs. C.," Zach said. "But... um... I'll never forget the last two days... and that's because... you were taking care of me," he stammered.

"Oh sweetie," Mel gushed. "Nothing will ever change that," she added, still caressing his stomach and chest. Zach's look was a mix of gratitude, disappointment, wonder, and sexual arousal. Mel used her free hand to undo the three buttons of her blouse, and then slipped the hand under his shirt to rub his midsection with both hands. "You'll love having your mom here. She can't help but spoil her baby," Mel teased. But Zach was looking at her chest, obviously thinking that he was not going to have that opportunity after today. To soothe his discomfort, Mel leaned down to softly kiss his taut abdomen, which Mel found very sexy.
