This story has been floating around in my head for some years in one version or another. I have finally been able to just write it down in a form I am relatively happy with – I hope you enjoy it.
The story contains many of the elements which I find satisfying i.e. stories featuring dominant, competitive, pleasure hungry, love starved older women and young men ready and willing to be initiated between the sheets and have their manhood deeply affirmed in bed.
Older woman/ younger male , mother/son, aunt/nephew sexual relationships are among the most physically, emotionally and mentally satisfying types of sexual fantasy for me personally – if you are the type of person who has really appreciated and sincerely considered this type of sexual fantasy, then this story was written for you. This story does take a while to "get going" but I wanted to try to paint the portrait as thoroughly as I could, within a short story format.
The story explores the notion of a mother giving her adult son the ultimate birthday present and affirming his coming of age, and also the present a young man gives to his mother - his semen.
Lauren and Chloe may seem like hard nasty bitches at times or just plain reckless, but they need to be seen for what they are: Lauren is deeply frustrated, in love with Ben, paralysed for months on end by moral and social conditioning. Chloe is conflicted – caught between her need to be with her nephew Ben, but burdened by her so called common sense and the restraint associated with her understanding of right and wrong. She attempts to resolve her conflict by sleeping around with young men who remind her of Ben, but it doesn't work. In the end she has to have Ben, just as her sister Lauren has to.

Lauren's high heels click-clacked on the polished marble, as she marched down the hall, descended the three steps which divided the spacious gleaming kitchen from the open lounge space below and then unceremoniously dumped her overcoat and her handbag on the nearest lounge chair. She looked around briefly; feeling dissatisfied in general and then walked across to the bar, picked up a glass, shovelled ice into it and then poured herself a double bourbon. She turned away from the bar, kicking off her heels and then walked across the lounge-room while sipping her drink until she reached the open glass doors, which led out onto the patio and then downstairs to the pool complex and tennis courts below.
Sure enough Lauren's son Ben was downstairs in the pool complex area and his girlfriend Amy was with him. The two of them were lying stretched out on their towels, working on their suntans after an early afternoon swim. Lauren firmly set her glass down on the table next to her with a sharp crack and bourbon sloshed and ran across the marble tabletop. She fished around in her jacket and pulled out her cigarette case and lighter, opened the case and stuck a cigarette between her lips and lit up.
"Why is that little bitch always here," Lauren hissed after dragging deeply on the cigarette and exhaling.
She looked down at Ben and Amy as she smoked and drank, trying to calm down. Ben and Amy were just lying there on the soft grass besides the pool, but then Amy reached out and took Ben's hand in hers and Lauren grew angrier. Lauren had cancelled an important meeting at work, had left the office early to come home to check up on Ben and sure enough he was here at home with that little bitch again. Lauren had done this four times in the last month, including today – she had annoyed her clients, had annoyed the other partners, had juggled all her appointments, just so she could get home early, desperate to see Ben and each time she had found that little bitch in her house with her son.
There was a moment when Lauren was all ready to storm out the back and confront Ben and the little bitch, but she decided to call her sister Chloe instead – Chloe was Lauren's rock.
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon," Lauren demanded quietly, while crushing out the cigarette and peering down at her son again.
She turned away from the open glass doors and walked through the lounge-room and up the stairs, as she drained the remaining bourbon from her glass, the phone still ringing. Then Lauren's sister picked up the phone.
"Hello Chloe?"
"Yes, is that you Lauren?"
"Yes, it's me – I came home early again today and that little bitch is here again with Ben."
"You left early again, won't you get in trouble," Chloe asked.
"Don't worry about work Chloe," Lauren hissed and then her tone of voice became more desperate, "Do you think Ben is actually fucking that little bitch?"
"Probably Lauren, he is nearly 21 now."
"So, he's fucking her," Lauren said venomously, her voice becoming shrill and then Lauren's voice broke and she started crying. She pleaded with her sister: "What am I going to do? What am I going to do Chloe?"
"I don't know Lauren, have you talked to Ben," Chloe asked wearily, "have you told him how you feel about him Lauren?"
"No, what am I supposed to say Chloe? Oh guess what kid, your mom's got a small problem, she's in love with you - didn't you know. I should be locked up somewhere Chloe, I must be sick."
"Look. You're not sick Lauren, you're just being human like everyone else – it's just, well you know, very unusual. You're going to have to do something Lauren. I still think you should go to counselling or see someone - you need to get some help honey. It's not the healthiest option."
"God, you must think I'm crazy," Lauren said, still sobbing into the phone. "I don't know what I'm doing anymore."
"Just tell him how you feel Lauren; Ben's turned into a real nice guy, due to you. He may even feel the same way you do."
"Yes, maybe – god I don't know, maybe you're right. I'll talk to him about it."
"Good Lauren and don't drink too much before you do, okay. And for goodness sakes don't push him or make him feel uncomfortable."
"Yes okay mom," Lauren said.
"Look I have to run Lauren – I have to pick up Uncle Michael from the hospital and then I have to get back to work. I'll call you tomorrow at lunch, okay?"
"Sure Chloe – look I'm sorry for calling you like this. Thanks, hey."
"No problems Lauren – I'll call you tomorrow. Bye."
Lauren sighed and hung up. She then walked back to the open glass doors and looked out into the back. Ben and Amy were back in the pool and they were laughing. Lauren took another cigarette from her case and lit up and sucked in the smoke, feeling bitter and unhappy as Amy kissed Ben in the pool, taking the young man in her arms.
"You fucking little bitch," Lauren muttered, unable to watch anymore - she went and poured herself another glass of bourbon.
By the time Ben and Amy came back inside the house from their swim an hour and a half later, Lauren was well on her way to inebriation, yet another glass of bourbon in her hand. She was lying back on a lounge chair, her jacket off, her blouse unbuttoned and her tight skirt crumpled.
"Oh hello Lauren," Amy said warily, on her guard.
"Hi mom, I didn't know you got home early," Ben said, his eyes drifting up and down Lauren's body, noting that his mother's skirt was pulled up, so he could see her long legs and that her blouse was open in the front, so he could see the edges of her bra.
Lauren got to her feet and smoothed and adjusted her skirt. She lifted the glass to her lips and drank, finishing it.
"So, are you sleeping with my son," she asked Amy pointedly.
"Lauren, that's none of your business," Amy replied.
"Mom?"
"You stay out of this Ben; you're in enough trouble already," Lauren said softly, swaying. She then turned back to Amy. "Well, are you fucking my son or not?"
"Ben I'm leaving," Amy stated angrily. "You need to talk to your mother and sort this out."
"Yes, go, go," Lauren returned softly, waving her hand in Amy's direction.
Ben's girlfriend looked at Lauren for a moment upset and then stormed out of the house with Ben in pursuit. Five minutes later Ben was back.
"Mom, why did you do that for?"
"I don't like that girl Ben, I think she's bad for you and I don't want you to see her anymore."
"Mom, I can see who I like – I'm almost 21."
"I don't care," Lauren said, heading to the bar to get another drink. "As long as you're living under this roof you'll do as you're told."
