As a single mother, it can be easy to assume that you are giving your kids the attention that they need. Between the day to day chores and work, you can become complacent, convinced that you are fulfilling your obligations. When it hits you that you have overlooked something, it is like a slap in the face. How could you have been so detached? How could you have missed so much?
It's hard to say when it started. It might have been the date I brought home that triggered it. It may have begun much sooner. Still, we must start somewhere and the date will suffice.
I have a rule about dating. I don't bring a date home to meet the kids unless I am sure that it's serious. If I need to scratch that certain itch, then I don't do it at home; I've had a few one night stands, but always at their place. However, I have broken that rule exactly one time. It happened a week before the whole debacle, the contents of which I shall cover in good time. Perhaps I am reading into that night a little too much. Perhaps my guilt over breaking my rule has led to the assumption in causality. Maybe or maybe not. I still need a place to begin the story.
I was drunk on house wine, which is far too cheap to be just as effective. The plan was to call it a night, but my date, Howard, was all hands and damn good to look at. He was about forty with salt and pepper hair and a tall, broad frame. We found ourselves making out in my driveway as he was supposed to be dropping me off. It seemed harmless, but his hands roamed south and my blood was boiling. So, glimpsing up at the second story windows where my kids slept and finding both lights out, and being so in the mood and with a more than adequate partner in a like state of mind, I led Howard in and up the stairs, to the room across the hall from my son—my room—and proceeded to give Howard my finest blowjob.
I was going to leave it at that. A quick face fuck and a stomach full of wine and semen. Once again, Howard's hands began to roam, and once again I was game. After he found me wet, he pulled his cock from my mouth and pushed me back on the bed. When he pushed into me, I began to moan. I am a moaner. I like sex and my partners know I like sex. This fact was the foundation of my rule, as I didn't want the kids to hear their mother pleading like a slut to be fucked harder and faster. Needless to say, I lost my head. At some point I began riding him, and he began to play off of my dirty talk with some of his own.
"That pussy feels so fucking good," he said, pounding it with my legs over his head.
"Take it, baby!" I answered back. "Fuck my cunt!"
Crass? Maybe. But I like my dirty talk filthy. Otherwise, what's the point?
"I'm going to cum!" He announced, much to my displeasure. I couldn't blame him, though. Considering how hard I had been sucking his cock, I was surprised he hadn't blasted the back of my throat.
He pulled out, which was good, considering my lack of birth control and his lack of a condom, and shot three big ropes of jizz at my face. The first caught me in the eye (of fucking course it did) and the other two hit my lips and forehead. I drove my head down on his cock, filling my mouth with the last spurt. Then I swallowed. He collapsed in bed. I informed him that he could not sleep over and he left happy despite that fact. As I lay in bed listening to his engine rev up and fade away into the night, I heard the floor board outside of my room creak. That's when it hit me. I had broken my rule and one of my kids had heard me fucking some stranger. At that moment I had ceased to be just mom. Now, I was the mom who had begged to have my pussy filled with some man's big dick. Not my finest hour. I wasn't even sober and I already felt the sting of regret.
I could only hope it was my daughter and not my son. She was older and less fragile. Although he was eighteen, he was still living in his childhood, interested in comic books and collectible figurines. Plus, Becca would be leaving for college in a month, so she wasn't going to be around to stare awkwardly at me across the breakfast table for much longer.
I listened as the presence outside the door slunk away. Toward my son's room.
The next week was a strange one. It began with Max being more silent than usual around me. I would catch him staring at me out of the corner of my eye. I could not have read his mind, but I guessed he was reappraising his mother and finding her to be something terrible. He stopped spending his time in the common areas of the house, and began shutting himself up in his room. I hated to see it, because he was already a little pale, a little thin and wispy. The thought of him wasting away further crushed me. It became so obvious, that I remarked to Becca that I thought he was depressed. She gave me a coy little smile.
"Oh, mother," she said, "I don't think he's depressed."
