The divorce was taking its toll on Linda. Her husband - no, ex-husband, she told herself - had run off with a much younger girl he had met when he went on one of his overseas conferences for work. She had only found out about the divorce when he mailed the papers to her. The news had shocked her, but it wasn't as if she hadn't seen it coming. Her now ex-husband Don had been working late and going on business trips more and more recently. Maybe it was just because their son Sean had finally turned eighteen.
See Linda and Don had met in college when she was nineteen and he was a couple of years older and they had dated each other for a bit. Then she got pregnant and his parents had forced him into doing the honourable thing and marrying her. She felt that all these years he had slightly despised her for not giving him freedom when he was younger, but she stayed strong and was devoted to him despite that.
She had spent the last few days since finding out, sullenly walking around the house. She had been of work as a teacher because it was the summer, but she had little motivation to go and do anything. Most of the time had been spent in bed.
Sean on the other hand had been furious about what happened. How could his old man ditch his mom like that. Especially for some younger woman who was not at all as attractive as his mother. All through high school, Sean's friends had teased him for having a milf, but instead of being embarrassed about it he was proud of the fact. Although he could never openly admit it anyone he knew. Nor could he admit to anyone the secret desires he harboured toward his mother.
Linda was an attractive woman. Because she had had Sean at such a young age, her body was able to bounce a lot quicker than it would have been had she been a bit older. Linda was a bubbly five foot four brunette with perky 36C breasts and a juicy ass that Sean had lusted after ever since he had walked in on her after she had gotten out of the shower one day.
Sean had always been close to his mother and now after the divorce he had made a promise to himself to step up and be a man for her. He had finished high school and decided that he would help around the house any way he could. She needed his support at a time like this and he was going to provide it.

About two weeks after finding out about the divorce, Sean was walking to his bedroom when he heard sobbing coming from the master bedroom down the hall. Despite telling himself that he was going to be more supportive of his mother, they had hardly interacted. She kept mainly to her bedroom, and when she did come out, she didn't want to speak. It was almost as if she was in a catatonic state. She would just make a cup of tea or coffee then retreat to her bedroom.
Sean peeked into the room with the door slightly ajar and saw his mother sitting on the edge of her bed with her head in her hands. He immediately went into her room and threw his arms around her shoulders and comforted her. Wordlessly, Linda cried into his shoulder. Nothing needed to be said, Sean understood that his mother was lonely and even though he was there for her, he could never fill the void that his father had left behind.
That wasn't in an emotional way either. Sean knew his mother was still very much a sexual being. She was a young woman and very attractive. Shortly before the divorce, he had come home when he thought no one was home and heard the sounds of his mother masturbating. He had sat in his bedroom and listened to her moaning and slowly jerked off. Ever since then, Sean had seen Linda in a certain sexual light but knew he could never act on it.
And he thought of that now, even as his mother sobbed on his shoulder. To his horror, Sean felt his cock begin to stiffen in his shorts. He willed it as hard as he could to make it go down, but it was a lost cause, especially when he looked down and saw that his mother's robe had fallen open and one of her breasts had become exposed, its nipple stiffening as it came into contact with the slightly cool air of the bedroom.
To Linda's surprise, Sean suddenly jumped up and left the room without a word, leaving her puzzled beyond belief. It was only when she saw his hard cock bouncing in his shorts did she understand why. Seeing this, and let her mind wander to the unanswered questions of why he would be like that, distracted Linda from her present situation. Was he attracted to her? Had he felt like this for a while?
