Part 3
(Chapter - 04 - Diana)
Diana set the table for breakfast. She had made Joey's favorite skillet breakfast--fried potatoes with onions and scrambled eggs. She looked up and smiled to see him already approaching the back door.
As he entered, he smiled broadly, crossing the kitchen to embrace her warmly and kiss her cheek. "I love you, Mom," he said as they parted.
"I love you too, sweetheart," she responded with a broad smile as he took his seat at the table. Curious, she thought, how he had seemed to become more warm and affectionate lately--not that she minded--and wondered if it was a sign of his growing emotional maturity.
He was rapidly developing into a fine-looking young man, she thought. At almost nineteen, he was a little on the petite side, perhaps, but with a nice masculine muscle definition in his arms, legs, and shoulders.
After breakfast, Joey cleared the table while she moved a load of laundry from the washer into the dryer and turned it on. As she was helping Joey--drying the dishes he had just washed--his cell phone buzzed from his back pocket.
He looked at the screen and his eyes widened. "It's Albertsons calling," he said, stepping from the kitchen to answer the call.
Diana smiled hopefully, he had so been hoping for a job now that he had graduated from high school and had nothing but free time on his hands.
"Yes... yes," she heard him saying into the phone, "I can do that, yes... I'll be there as soon as I can. Thank you again, goodbye."
He looked at her with his eyes twinkling merrily, "They want me for an interview right away... today," he exclaimed excitedly.
"That's wonderful," she said, embracing him happily.
"Can I take the car? I want to get there as soon as I can."
"Of course," she said, nodding toward the wall hook that held her car keys.
A minute or two later, he was out the door and starting the car.
Diana smiled happily, seating herself to enjoy a second cup of coffee. All was so very quiet in the house. It was always warm sunny days like this when she seemed to miss Gary the most. They would often spend this kind of day walking hand in hand in the sunshine or making love very slowly with the sun streaming through the bedroom window.
Sexually, she had not been with a man since Gary's passing, nor had she even been romantically involved with a man.Β She supposed in time she might once again feel the desire and need for male companionship and love--had even experimentally visited a few dating websites to explore the possibilities--but, for the present, she felt no great longing to be involved in any kind of relationship.Β Certainly, she had needs... physical needs, which she had, so far, managed to alleviate with a very pleasant degree of pleasure and satisfaction through masturbation.
With no man in her life, masturbation had become her primary release from sexual frustration. Since Gary's passing, she masturbated with increasing frequency--and had even purchased a dildo and a personal vibrating wand to assist her in her endeavors.
The washing machine suddenly began banging loudly driving away her reminiscent daydreams. She opened the washer, adjusted the load of clothing inside that had become imbalanced, and restarted the unit.
As it resumed its cycle, it rocked gently back and forth, the corner gently bumping her upper thigh with a rhythm that felt distinctly sensual. Impulsively, she parted her thighs, pressed her pubic mound against the machine, and smiled at the pleasurable sensation as the smoothly rounded corner of the washing machine began to bump rhythmically directly against her clitoris.
Moments later, as the pleasurable sensation grew, she raised the hem of her dress for even more intimate contact with the throbbing washer--sighing with pleasure as the cool metal against her bare skin sent a sensual shiver through her. She quickly lowered her panties, craving the feel of the cool metal between her legs--crying out softly in her lust as the smooth corner of the washer became slick and wet with her vaginal secretions.
She leaned over the machine, grasping the sides firmly with both hands, and began to thrust her hips against the washing machine. As the sensation suddenly became even more acute, she lifted her feet from the floor to settle her entire weight onto the washer--becoming one with the machine as she matched the rhythm of her movements with those of the washer.
She came with a series of gasps and cries, her thigh muscles trembling uncontrollably as her orgasm swept her away.
"Well," she sighed with an embarrassed smile as she stepped away from the washer, quickly raising her panties and adjusting the hem of her dress. She looked around self-consciously even though she was alone, "That was... certainly an interesting way of doing things."
Alone in the kitchen, she shook her head and laughed at the absurdity of masturbating against her washing machine. She emptied the dryer onto the kitchen table and began to separate the clothing into two piles, hers and Joey's, and began to fold the items--or place them on hangers if warranted.
Mechanically sorting and folding clothing while still in the afterglow of her orgasm, soon had her mind drifting toward more sensual thoughts.
She seemed to be having those a lot more lately--fantasizing about sex. She supposed it might be because of her age--being in her late 30s and childless--maybe some kind of hormonal shift within her. Regardless, she accepted her lot in life with a shrug and a secret smile because... when all was said and done, she actually enjoyed masturbating.
She did it almost every evening when she retired for the night. The gel dildo she had purchased was very close to the size and shape of Gary's penis and gave her a great deal of pleasure. She also used her laptop computer to occasionally watch a variety of porn videos for inspiration.
She rarely succumbed to the pleasure of masturbation during the day. There were always the household chores and her occasional hairdressing appointments to keep her busy and occupy her mind--also Joey was always about.
She giggled softly as she recalled her orgasmic episode with the washing machine. She had never done that before and was surprised by the intensity of the pleasure she had received from it.
