I consider myself to be a pretty good person. I've never cheated on any of my boyfriends. I've never led any guys on, unless I had some genuine feelings for them. And I've never stolen someone else's boyfriend.
Well, except once. And that time was pretty bad.
I'll start by saying that when I was in high school, I was pretty rebellious. My mom worked all the time, and I guess her way of coping with that, along with being a single parent, was to try to tighten the leash on me as much as possible. It wasn't that big of a deal during middle school, but all that changed in high school.
I'm a pretty petite girl, only around 5'1" and a hundred pounds, but by high school I was getting plenty of attention anyway. I've ran track since middle school, and I've got a slight, taut little frame to match, with a slender waist and hips and legs. I've got long wavy hair that's the color of caramel and bright, amber eyes to match. My chest is curvy-but-not-too-curvy, a perky pair of tits that go along with my ample but tight butt. It wasn't long before I realized the reason why boys were fighting to sit next me to in class, or jumping to offer me rides home from school. And, like any other red-blooded teenage girl, I loved every minute of it. I loved being sexy, I loved flirting. I loved leaning forward just enough for my blouse to dip down and my bra and perky tits to peek out the top. I loved wearing a skirt and then carefully crossing and uncrossing my legs every class. I loved bending over at the hip instead of the knees to pick up something I dropped, showing off the curve of my firm ass and slender figure as I rose oh-so-slowly up.
How could my mom blame me for doing everything I could to keep all the boys' attention? I would flounce down the stairs before breakfast in a frilled white miniskirt that fluttered in the air with every step I took, showing off my dainty thighs and just a slight preview of my panties underneath – but my mom would send me back up to my room to change before I could leave for school. Or I would try to go on a date in a little dress that hugged my slender frame, showing off the little inward arc of my dainty waist and offering just a teasing peek of my teenage tits. But by the time he showed up, my mom would have forced me to switch into a regular shirt and jeans. I wasn't allowed to go to parties unless someone's parents were chaperoning – which were the worst ones, of course. I was forbidden to date any guys unless they met her first. Every part of my life was controlled by Mom. I hated every minute of it, and I defied her at every opportunity. I got caught a few times, sneaking back into the house or going to a party when I said I was at the library, and each time she discovered my disobedience we would shout and scream at each other for hours on end. So, when it came time to leave for college, it's safe to say I was looking forward to a little more personal space.
My freshman year was like most others – I spent it partying, drinking, and hooking up when I was drunk enough to get over the anxiety. When the year was over, and I headed home for the summer, I considered myself much more mature than when I had left. After all, at the ripe age of 19, I was finally an adult, who had lived on her own for a year and deserved to be treated like it.
Mom didn't agree. The first night home I tried to go out with some friends, and she was at the door, shaking her head.
"You can't go out tonight, Ashley."
"Why not?" I tossed my wavy hair over my shoulder, feeling it tickle my back as it settled.
"It's a weekday. Don't you remember? You can only use the car on weekends. And anyway, it's almost 11. You have to be back every night by midnight."
"Are you kidding me?" I shrieked. "I've still got a CURFEW? I'm nineteen, for fuck's sake, not nine! I'm a college student, mom! Don't you know how many times I've been out past midnight during the school year??"
"It doesn't matter!" She yelled back. "When you're in my house, it's my rules!"
"I can't believe this! Are you ever going to let me have any fun?"
"Well, at the rate you're going, maybe not!"
It was just like being back in high school. Only this time, it was even worse; I had just spent a year in freedom, glorious and parent-free, and now being back with my mom's same, overbearing rules was too much to bear. I raged upstairs and slammed the door, so mad that tears were pooling in my eyes. I pounded my blanket, I kicked the mattress, I screamed into the pillows. And I swore that night that I would get back at my mother, somehow, in some way that would make her regret ever being so unfair to me.
For the first few days, I pouted and sulked, unable to come up with a sufficient act of revenge. But late one night, I was awoken by a soft pounding under my bed.
To get to my mom's bedroom, you have to walk through two hallways and up a flight of stairs, but in actuality I sleep just ten or so feet above her, separated only by my floor and her ceiling. For the last year or so, Mom had been dating a guy named Mark. He was doing pretty well as a higher-level guy for a remodeling company, and even though he was nearing forty, just like my mom, he didn't look it; his body was as fit as the athletes at my college: six feet tall, trim and sleek with muscle. His suntanned skin gleamed in the sun, a sign of his hard, chiseling work each day in the sun, rippling with his strength – every girl's dream. He had short, dark brown hair that he kept in a buzz cut, and a well-shaped face with sharp features and a pair of piercing, brown eyes. It wasn't hard to see why my mom swooned over him; I had never been attracted to Mark, of course, since he was twice my age, but I understood what Mom saw in him.
Now, as I lay quietly in my bed, I heard a soft
thump-thump-thump
under my bed. It was rhythmic, like someone beating a drum, and seemed to be near the wall behind my bedpost. "What the hell…" I muttered, and with a sleepy yawn I slipped out my bed and crouched on the floor, listening even more intently.
"….oh….oh…yes…"
I gasped. The muffled moans were coming from my mother! I suddenly realized that she and Mark were fucking, that she was wailing and crying out in pleasure as he plunged into her. I had never ever heard my mom wail like this – not the demanding, proper woman I saw each day but a woman flushed with lust and pleasure, her screams and wails completely unrestrained, completely wild.
Thump-thump-thump.
I suddenly realized that the pounding was the headboard, slamming into the wall, over and over; Mark was pounding my mom so hard that the entire bed was shaking and rocking. I had heard that same rocking many times in the dorm; it even happened a couple times in my own room after a long party. But I never imagined I would hear it coming from my mom's room.
I clambered back into my bed, ready to cringe and plug my ears. But suddenly, as if by divine revelation, a thought came into my head. This was it.
This was the way I would get back at my mom.
I'm going to steal Mark from her.
It was perfect; so terribly cruel, so sneaky, so absolutely unexpected and wrong. Every woman worries about some other girl stealing her man – but the last person she expects is her own daughter. I suddenly began laughing out loud, alone in my dark room, just thinking about it.
"…oh…yes…Mark…yes…" Mom's moans were still audible through my floor as I grinned to myself, quickly falling asleep once more.

Only a few days later, my mom made an announcement; she was redoing our roof. She had always wanted to replace the ugly red stone on top, and Mark had said that he could get her a huge discount if she went through his remodeling company. And – she announced happily – that meant that Mark would also be around the house a lot more, since he would be the main guy working on it.
"So Mark will be around starting tomorrow. I need you to be here in case he needs help getting into the house or finding something, okay?"
"Sure, whatever," I said. "I mean, you aren't letting me use the car anyway, right?"
"Well," my mom huffed. "You weren't back home last Saturday until 12:10. I kept track. So I suppose that's right, you won't be using the car at all this week."
I glared at my mom's back as she headed out the door for work. Every single day living with her made me angrier. Tomorrow Mark was coming, I told myself, and as soon as he got here I would set about getting my revenge.
By the time Mark let himself into the house, I was already stretched out on our deck chair on the lawn with my magazine and sunglasses. My bikini was red and skimpy. The skinny bottom tied around the sides, with strings dangling down my slim hips, tickling my legs. The halter triangle top just barely covered my tits, the flimsy strings barely a fingernail wide, the bow-ties around my neck and back so long that they dangled all the way down to my slim waist, accentuating just how easy it was to grab them and, with one pull, send my tiny top fluttering to the ground. I smiled sweetly at Mark as he wandered outside with his ladder and toolbox in tow, and he offered a harmless wave back.
"Sorry," I said, "I didn't know you'd be working out here. I'm not in the way, am I?"
"Nah," he replied, setting up the ladder. "It's fine."
"Good," I beamed at him. "You're already starting the roof?"
"Oh, no. I'm just taking measurements today. It won't be long."
Damn.
