I would like to start by thanking everyone for their reviews. Your responses are what made me continue the story. As always, constructive criticism is always welcome. I had no clue where the story would go next until I began to write. Thank you for reading and I hope you like the next chapter. I'm sorry that there wasn't immediate sex. I was hoping to provide a build up. Things will soon begin to heat up between Jason and Becky.
A little later I woke up. The sun wasn't up yet and I looked at the clock. It was only 4:00 AM. I thought that Mom was asleep until I heard her sigh deeply a couple of times. I could tell that she was tossing and turning as the creaks from her bed echoed in the room.
"I really wish she could sleep," I thought to myself. Now that I was awake my mind began to spiral again. Various thoughts were flooding my mind like tidal waves. There were thoughts of our run, thoughts of tomorrow and they all always led back to thoughts of Dad. I released a frustrated sigh and heard Mom roll over again.
Due to her not being able to keep still it was apparent that she was becoming angry and that her brain wouldn't shut up enough for her to be able to drift off. I kept hearing her utter various things under her breath, but couldn't make them out no matter how hard I tried. The occasional crack in her voice told me that she had started crying again. I longed and yearned to comfort her like she did me but I didn't want to embarrass her.
"That stupid and mean and drunk son of a bitch. How could Jim do this to us. What are we gonna do now? I'm a house wife. I haven't worked in years. Maybe we should go back and apologize." I was finally able to understand some of what she was saying and I didn't like what I was hearing. For a moment I thought I was dreaming until I heard her sniffle and came back to reality.
I didn't want her to know that I was awake and eavesdropping so I began to slow and deepen my breathing so that she would think that I'm asleep. I felt a tear fall from my eye as I thought of her going back to that bastard. "I can't let it happen. I refuse to let it happen. No way will she ever subject herself to him again," I thought to myself.
I began to wrestle with myself as to whether or not I should go to her. She needs someone to talk to and lean on but I knew that she also wouldn't want me to know that I knew that she was really considering this.
What seemed like an eternity had only been about ten or fifteen minutes as I laid there trying to go back to sleep. My eyes were heavy and my body was feeling tired, but I wasn't able to actually doze off. It was frustrating and annoying just laying there not being able to do anything.
It wasn't long before I heard the sniffling get closer and the side of the bed dip down. She had climbed into bed with me. I let out a couple of fake and soft snores so that she didn't think I was awake. She was slow crawling in with me. I assume that she didn't want to wake me. My heart began to race and I thought that it was about to jump out of my chest. When she got closer my eyes shot open. No longer was it possible for me to keep them shut. The closer she got the more I began to tremble. We had slept in the same bed before when I was growing up. I had no clue why I was so nervous this time. No matter how hard I thought about it my mind couldn't come up with a good reason.
The bed over again and I felt her cuddle up next to me. She laid her arm across my waist. I tried to make my body as stiff as a board, but I couldn't stop the goosebumps that began to cover my body. Her body heat felt good against me. A soft sigh crept through my lips as she got as close to me as she could. My legs and arms became as stiff as a board. With each passing second I could feel my pulse and my blood pressure rise. I wasn't this nervous before my high school finals. The only time I had been this scared was only a few hours earlier when I had stood up to Dad.
"Jason, Honey, are you awake, Sweetheart?" she whispered into my ear. Her warm breath against my sent chills rushing up and down my spine causing me to shiver. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't help but smile. My internal monologue and thoughts began to race again. "What's happening? Is she wanting comfort? Is she wanting affection? What do I do? Do I play asleep and ignore her? Do I let her know I'm awake and risk freaking her out? Why would she freak out? She approached me after all. She crawled into my bed and snuggled up to me and whispered softly into my ear. I have to be over thinking this," I continued to think. My thoughts had turned into an interrogation in my head. The angel and devil on each shoulder were battling out as I tried to figure out what was right and what was wrong.
Eventually I gave in and snuggled back against her. "Is everything okay, Mom? Do you need to talk?" I asked calmly hoping that she would think I had just woken up and wasn't eavesdropping on her. She sighed and I could tell that she was nervous. The nervous lump returned to my throat and the butterflies began to erupt in my stomach as my trembling increased.
"Honey, will you hold me?" she asked quietly. "Please. I just need to be held" she continued into my ear. Her warm breath was driving me insane. Her hand began to slowly and gently rub my stomach. My cock twitches in my boxers and begin to harden. A slight sigh turned into a soft moan. "Mmmmm," I replied as her silky soft hands continued to caress me. By now my dick was rock hard and poking through the fly of my underwear. I wanted to role over and hold her, but if she felt my steel hard rod poking into her I would be absolutely mortified.
My nerves were going crazy. I was unable to respond. I nodded my head yes even though I knew she wouldn't be able to see it in the dark. I let out another moan as her silky soft fingers continue to trace lines and circles around my abdomen. I began thinking of baseball and science and anything else that came to mind in an attempt to make my raging hard on go away. This was torture. More crazy thoughts crashed into my head with each second, "Is Mom hitting on me? Is she trying to put the moves on me? Do I have a thing for her? Jason, she's your mom, quit acting crazy."
Finally realizing that my erection isn't going down anytime soon I cautiously rolled over being careful not to poker her. I wrapped my arm around her stomach keeping my hardness as far away as possible. As soon as my arm made contact she interlocked her fingers with mine and held them close to her chest. Taking a deep breath she said "Thank you, Honey. I'm sorry I woke you" as she exhaled slowly through her little button nose. She rolled over a bit pulling me with her. My hand was being held against her breasts. As she rolled she held onto me tightly causing me to roll with her. The next thing I knew my manhood was laying against her butt and I was praying that she didn't notice. Blood rushed to my face as heat crept up my chest and neck. If it wasn't dark my embarrassment would have been obvious.
"Mmmm...thank you, Honey. I just need to feel close to someone tonight. Try to relax and go back to sleep, Sweetheart. I love you."
"I love you too, Mom. I'm here for you," I responded with a nervous crack in my voice. I thought that I heard her giggle, but decided to let it go.
