Author's Note: This was originally one of the variations or scenes I was going to have in another story soon to come. It didn't work there but I still got a kick out of it, thus giving it its own short little tale. Hope you enjoy.

*****
Two hours ago, it was a good day.
I was with my parents out for a weekend of scuba diving and sun tanning off the coast of Catalina. A much needed weekend of relaxation brought to us through spontaneous means (my pops had cracked a screw and instead of a sports car for his mid-life crisis, he bought a rather big yacht). And so we'd been enjoying the sun after a nice afternoon dive. Armed with margaritas and not a care in the world. That is what I call blissful.
Thirty minutes ago, we received the warning.
Any good sailor knows to check the weather reports before embarking on a trip, and in honesty, we did. There was going to be a slight storm some fifty miles from us, but given our location, the worst we would see would be some graying clouds overhead and a little chop from the waves. We were wrong.
The storm had shifted and the ocean was soon to pick up its ancient fury. We had to haul ass to out run the incoming waves, and do so soon. It was going to be a long trip back to Long Beach, and the sky was already growing gloomy.
The ship rocked side to side, moved by the growing waves from the dark world beyond the hull. The powerful vibration of the engines shuddered through the craft as its equally loud hum followed. I sat in the warm cabin in the office chair, head against the wall and eyes shut. These are the times my father lives for. The man against nature moments. He'd be up there in the bridge thrilled and stressed all at once. I'm sure Mom was with him, which was a mistake. He'd need to be alone. Personally, I'd love to be up there, seeing how we dodge these watery beasts, but it wasn't my first time at sea with Pops. Whenever it got like this, the best thing I could do was sit it out down below and let him do his thing in peace and solitude.
I could still taste the alcohol from earlier in my mouth mingled with salt which almost seemed to hover in the air. Beside me was a vent, a heater for the spacious interior. Direct heat amongst the cold and the remnants of a rather nice buzz made me quite content for the time being. Hell I hadn't even bothered changing out of my old swim trucks in the middle of the storm.
The staggered thuds of someone walking down the stairs above me called to my attention. Well, we were still moving along so that could only mean he finally threw her out of the bridge. Oh my mother would be pissed for sure.
Mom entered the cabin from the deck and her own fury could match that of the sea. She too was still in her suit which, much to my surprise earlier, was a very slim halter bikini. Soft and dark, dark blue. She fought the ever changing tilt of the boat trying to make her way across the room.
"I swear, sometimes that man can just drive me up the wall," she grumbled heading to the small fridge. I couldn't believe it, in the midst of this tumultuous weather, she grabbed a beer. I couldn't help but watch her in a way I never really had before. Yeah, she was sexy, but she was still my mother. Nonetheless, I couldn't help but notice how well she fit her suit.
"I take it he threw you out, huh?" it was a stupid question.
She looked at me raising an eyebrow. "Gee, whatever gave you that idea?" She popped the bottle open upon the counter seeming not to care as the foam seeped up and out of the shaft, spilling down her fingers. She stared out the porthole as she sucked the liquid from her skin. "Sometimes, I swear he loves this boat more than..." She trailed off shaking her head as if reminiscing in a secret frustration.
I should have known better, but I just couldn't stop myself from taking her in. Maybe it was just the light she was in, or the beer, or the fact I hadn't had a girl since the graduation party. But I was just being innocent, right? I had no intentions, just taking in a beauty. Just because I wasn't planning on buying doesn't mean I can't window shop.
I tried to steal glances as discretely as I could manage. My eyes traveled her skin, the swell of her breasts, her smooth stomach, round hips and ever so slender legs. When she turned to the side, I could see the rise of her round and soft ass which jiggled softly in the swaying cabin. Everything about her right then was captivating. From the way her hair was lightly wet with mist to the way the bikini bottoms were tied on each side of her hips.
"Thomas Allen Williamson, are you checking your mother out?!" I heard ushered from her lips. Oh crap.
My eyes quickly flicked up to her as she took a swig from the bottle, her lips curling around the tip. She wasn't upset. More like she was happy to catch me in an embarrassing moment. There was something in her eyes just then. An odd sparkle. I think she was flattered.
Well, I was busted. No sense in lying.
"Yeah. Yeah, Mom, I am. Sorry but.... you actually look pretty good." She chuckled at my compliment.
"You're such a good boy,"
I laughed feeling my face flush. "New suit?"
She looked down her own body, one hand holding the counter firmly as our world continued to shift back and forth.
"Yeah, Carrie convinced me to bring it. Kept saying I was too pale in the office. So I figured it wouldn't hurt. You really think it looks good?" She asked turning slightly, modeling her swim wear.
"Oh yeah. You got a winner right there."
"Thank you, Tommy," she said ever so pleased "Next we need to get you a new suit, young man. You've had that one as long as I can remember."
"Oh come on, mom. They're not that old. Maybe 5 years or so."
"Well it's pretty faded," she concluded and drained her bottle.
I couldn't help but agree, but before I could voice it, the intercom came alive.
"HEY GUYS, JUST A HEADS UP. I JUST GOT THE WORD AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE IN FOR SOME HEAVY CHOP FOR THE NEXT 30 MINUTES OR SO. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT THROW UP, HELL DO IT NOW BUT DO IT OVERBOARD!"
Both of us stared at the speaker box throughout the message. Mom couldn't help but roll her eyes then looked at me.
"You feeling sick at all?" She asked.
"None whatsoever. You?" She just shook her head then added with a laugh, "I am a bit cold and tipsy."
"Me too," I said with a pleased smile as I closed my eyes and leaned my head back. "Tipsy that is. It's Niiiiiicccce and warm over here."
"Thanks smartass," she replied.
"Well Mom, if you're cold, you should close the door. It's still propped open a bit." Now I really was being a smartass, and a lazy one at that. The door was on my end of the room.
I heard her snort some sort of laugh or comment then the clink of a bottle falling into the trash. Her footsteps traveled across the room, the soft thuds vibrating through my feet. Next came the clunking thump of the door being pulled tightly into place. And then it was as if everything suddenly became... lighter.
Dad wasn't kidding. With a quick look outside I could see the waves had grown to 10 foot rolling beasts. For a boat our size, we could easily get tossed about. A lot of boats out there try to make it easier on their occupants by having seat belts, but this can be a hazard in the end if the ship goes under and you're still strapped to. This particular boat had them installed, yet my father removed them from all the seats save one. Mine.
Mom was braised securely in the doorway trying what she could to hold herself up, straining in effort. I knew what I should do and quickly strapped my belt on. She watched me intently as if knowing my intentions.
"Mom!" I said opening my arms beckoning her forward. Without hesitation, she quickly darted in, sitting herself firmly onto my lap. I wrapped my hands around her midsection holding her to me as the boat rocked us back and forth.
Her back stretched across my bare chest, her arms on mine. My head resting on her shoulder. The scent of her skin filling my nostrils.
We knew we weren't in major danger of sinking as long as we stay in front of the storm. Dad actually knew what he was doing. Hell he lived for this (part of me thinks he might have planned for it). However, if we were on deck, we could go overboard very easily. And in the cabin, well, you could suddenly find yourself bouncing from one end to the other and back hitting your head on who knows what on the way. So safety first.
"Do you think he's okay up there?" she asked, glancing gently upwards.
"He knows what he's doing. Only worry if we hear the motors go silent," I responded holding onto her tightly.
As we rocked, I couldn't help but steal glances down her body. Her slender back naked save for two straps on her neck and ribs. Her spine running downwards trailing lower and lower, leading my eyes to her ass now pressing tightly against me. Oh god this was a horrible time for my mind to be heading in that direction. But I felt as if I was slipping in a maelstrom.
The ocean moved us, causing her to slip back and forth against me. I could feel the rumbling from deep in my loins, the dread of a growing erection rising. I tried to lift her, to at least allow her to straddle a leg but every time she shifted one way or another, she'd be swept right back where she started. Her ass planted firmly atop me. Her sex unknowingly lined up to accept my growing shaft.
"Mom, I think we should move," I warned. I couldn't tell her why.
"Just sit still, baby. This is fine." She hushed, her body pressing down on me with every fall. She had no idea of the growing danger lying beneath her.
