The
senior year at the university was over at last. Tom had already broken up with Carrie. She was his mother's age and married. It wouldn't have lasted no matter how good the sex was. There had been two others before her, both similar ages, both married. He was handsome and could have had his pick of beautiful coeds. They never seemed to offer the same excitement.
------oOOo-----
Tom
had been home nearly a week. The house was on several acres on the outskirts of town - rural seclusion. He heard his mother in the kitchen cooking breakfast. The smell of bacon pulled him from bed and down the hallway.
"Hey, darling," Mary said, giving her son a big hug.
"Wow. You look beautiful."
He stepped back and looked at her wearing very short pants that could have been painted on and a spandex waist-length tube-top that accentuated every curve of her upper body. She was barefooted as well. The silver-gray hair was pulled back in a ponytail which hung well below her shoulders.
"You don't have to pretend I look good." She scoffed then returned to the stove where she was cooking bacon and eggs. "It's almost ready." She drank another sip of beer from the nearly empty bottle then handed him one. She had already finished one and was feeling the effect.
"Thanks for letting me stay for the summer." Tom had plans to start graduate school in the fall.
"It'll be nice to have a man around the house for a change."
Robert had died in a car wreck a few years before. The one good thing was the life insurance settlement. She would never have to work again, and the house was paid off thanks to another policy. She was sewing her wild oats now that she was single again.
"You seeing anyone?" Tom said.
"Not really. How about you?"
"Not since Carrie." He had never mentioned Carrie's age or that she was married.
"There must be a million more to try at your age."
"I had one chat me up last week, only she was missing a leg."
"What's wrong with that? I bet all her
parts
still work." Mary snickered.
"Mom-m," Tom groaned.
"Maybe she was better in bed than Carrie. Her pussy is the same, you know."
"Geez Mom. When did you get such a gutter mouth?"
"I've heard you say things like that. Besides, we're both adults."
Tom groaned, but knew she was right about his language. "Mom, have you ever dated an amputee?"
"One man I
know
is missing a leg. It's not so bad fucking an amputee."
He groaned again muttering
know
. "How'd you meet him?"
"An online dating site. His left leg is amputated near the top of the thigh, and he uses crutches to walk. He's quite handsome."
"And you've seen him naked?"
"More than that. Whoa, he's hot"
He shook his head. It was a new side of his mother. "What happened to his leg?" He took another long swig of beer.
They sat at the kitchen table and started to eat. The two bottles of beer were empty, and they started new ones. Mary burped then drank more.
"There wasn't any physical injury or cancer. He found a surgeon to amputate it."
"You're kidding, right?"
"No. We've talked a lot about it. He has something called BIID. It's analogous to being transgendered, but instead of the wrong body he feels the leg shouldn't have been there. He has no regrets. He's not alone, but there's no way of knowing how many others there are."
"And he just asked and then they cut it off?"
"Pretty much. There aren't any good tests for BIID so if someone requests an amputation they'll do it."
"I don't believe it. Mom, would you want that? I mean, you acted like I should have dated the amputee at school. What's your interest in this?"
"So, what if I had BIID?"
"Do you? I don't know how someone gets it or if it is contagious."
"It is not well understood. Researchers believe it's there from birth, but individuals might not realize it until closer to puberty. And I don't think I have BIID, but..." She paused for a long moment to sip more beer and eat the scrambled eggs. "Lately I've been thinking about having an amputation." She deep throated a piece of bacon then took a bite.
"But you're so beautiful."
"And you think losing a leg would change that?"
"I'm so confused about what I think. It's too bad you can't be an amputee part-time to test your feelings about this."
"Interesting you say that. He gave me something to inject to make my leg become a stump for a while. I have crutches and spend time as an amputee."
"Wow. That's so science fiction. Really?"
"I've used up what he gave me, but I got a new order a few days before you arrived. I was worried about how to bring this up."
"It's a little weird, but if it's what you need to do don't let me stop you. Is this only around home?"
"Mostly. After we eat, I'll show you."
"I can't wait. I have a feeling maybe I should have done something with that amputee girl." He laughed.
"So you didn't?"
"No, Mom. I was busy with finals. Maybe I wasn't thinking clearly. She was pretty. I don't know how much of her leg was missing because she wore a short dress."
------oOOo-----
Tom
started towards the living room when Mary suggested he come into the bedroom so he could witness the injection. She removed a pair of crutches from the closet and leaned them against the bed. From the nightstand Mary took a vial and a syringe.
"Special syringes marked in one-hour doses up to twelve. The stump forms where then injection is made." She rubbed her left thigh a few inches below the very short pants leg. He watched as she drew the fluid up to the first mark then pressed the needle straight into the thigh. The stump formed instantly.
"I don't know what it would
really
look like but that looks pretty real."
"The only difference is there isn't a scar across the end, but otherwise it feels like the leg is gone."
Mary stood and put the crutches under her arms one at a time then walked around the room modeling for Tom. He didn't mean to, but he was becoming erect.
"Do you get that way for just anyone?" Mary teased.
"Sorry. I guess I've finding it a little erotic."
"More than earlier when you had a boner going?" She laughed.
"I can't help if I think you are a beautiful lady. Too bad you're my mother."
"What would change if I wasn't?" She paused and looked more closely, nibbling her lower lip suggestively.
He noticed her nipples pressing firmly against the spandex and the suggestive expression.
"I'd ask you for a date." He grinned. "I've dated a few ladies your age."
"I had no idea."
"I found I prefer the age difference. There's a sense of maturity that's not there with girls my age. That's why I passed up the amputee girl...too young."
Mary stepped closer and pulled him against her. Her lips were close to Tom's but not touching. The crutches fell to the floor, and she continued to balance on the one barefoot.
"Does this feel as good?" she whispered.
"Better."
"Yes it does."
A moment later their lips touched. Both seemed to not mind because neither did anything to stop. Her tongue slipped between his lips and explored. His hand rubbed a breast. She sighed deeply and felt him remove the hand.
"No-o," she moaned, pulling back in place.
"But..."
