Hello reader.
Just trying out a short story, here.
I have an idea in mind for a second part, so depending on how this is received I may just write it :)
Hope you enjoy!

There are some things a mother is never meant to see. One fateful Friday, I saw one such thing that easily falls into this category.
On this particular Friday I was meant to work a late shift at the office, but an hour into my overtime I had had enough. I needed to escape, so I shut off my computer and got the hell out of dodge. The few remaining accounts I had to appraise could wait until Monday.
I felt a sense of relief when I stepped outside into the cool early evening air. The sun was just setting on a fine summers day. I just wanted to get home, pour a glass of wine and get into bed.
It's rare that I would be so keen to get home. At the age of forty-seven I was single, having divorced my childhood sweetheart a year and a half ago. My job was a welcome distraction from the constant loneliness I felt. It was also a distraction from my raging horniness. It was year and half since my divorce, but it was almost two years since I had had sex. The final six months of my marriage involved no nudity, never mind any physicality!
A frequent masturbator I may have been, I still longed for the touch of a companion. Hell, I longed to gaze at a naked cock and balls in the flesh! All I wanted was to see a nice long one. Not too much to ask, I felt.
The drive home only took me around twenty minutes. I pulled into the drive and noticed that no lights were on. I was sure that my son, Simon, was meant to be home. Even at the age of twenty he still deemed it necessary to let me know if he was going out or not.
'Perhaps he had forgotten to tell me?' I thought. 'No, that's not like him.' Perhaps he had gone to bed? I looked at the clock on my dashboard: it was only 8:32. My son was not an early bird. I'd lost count of the number of times I'd be getting up of a Sunday morning and he was just going to bed!
It was dark inside the house. All the downstairs lights were off. "Si?" I called out. No reply. I slipped off my heels and hung my coat up on a hook next to the front door. All I could hear was silence; such a large house could be eerie when it is was so quiet. I headed down the opposite end of the hallway to the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs I saw my first sign of life: a dim glow was lighting the upstairs landing. "Si?" I asked again, and again no reply came.
By now I was becoming somewhat concerned. A faint glow from upstairs but no sign of my son. I reached the top of the stairs and the source of the glow became clear, it was coming from the far end of the landing from Si's room. 'Oh, he must have popped to the shop and left his TV on.' I thought. A small twenty-four hour supermarket was just down the street from our house, a ten minute walk at best. Si must have nipped out to pick something up.
My mind now at ease I headed for my bedroom, it was the door just the other side of Si's room. I was itching to get out of my work clothes and into bed. As I approached my door, I thought I'd poke my head in just to confirm Si had left his TV on, so I could then later scold him for wasting electric...
A cold sweat washed over me. My stomach dropped. 'Oh, God.' Si had not gone to the shop just down the street. He had not left his TV on. The glow was coming from his laptop, that was placed at the foot of his bed. The bright glow from it lit him up. He was on his bed, large headphones covering his ears. He was naked. My son was full frontal nude. And he was masturbating. My baby boy was slowly and rhythmically pleasuring himself.
I was frozen to the spot, like a rabbit in the headlights; my mouth agape. The head of his bed was positioned right next to his bedroom door, so he could not have seen me, but I could see him. All of him.
I should have looked straight ahead and gone straight to my room. I didn't, though. I just stood there. I stood there and watched.
I knew that I shouldn't have been watching. I knew right away, but I didn't move, I couldn't! All I could do was stare. I had been hypnotised by his slow up and down rolling motion. This was wrong, that was plainly obvious. How could it not be wrong? A mother is never meant to witness her child during such a private and intimate moment, but here I was, seeing what was never meant to be seen. My eyes crept along his body, along his toned torso and down his long and muscular splayed legs. I had stumbled upon something forbidden, something taboo.
Soon my thoughts and focus were purely on my son's hand and the long taut shaft it was pleasuring. 'My god, he's got a big cock.' The thought just popped in there, out of nowhere. Interestingly, I didn't use the word penis, no I used the word cock. An undeniably sexual word. I had described my son's genitalia in a sexual manner. And I had an opinion on its size. A mother should not have an opinion on the size of her son's penis.
