When she pushed me, it was with a force that I didn't know she possessed, and I ended up on the floor.
As I got up, with my arms in the air as if I was surrendering, I said, "Let me explain."
I wasn't sure that I could, but she didn't give me the opportunity to even try to. I saw it coming, but I couldn't get out of the way. Then my lights went out.
This time, when I came round, I didn't need to ask what had happened. Mother had hit me, and she hadn't held back. For a small woman she'd given me one hell of a punch. It was an indication of how angry she was. I wasn't complaining, because it was what I deserved.
When I looked up, I saw that Batman, AKA Simon, was standing over me.
I asked, "Where's Rita?"
After shaking his head, and then giving me a disapproving look, he said, "Don't you mean your Mother?"
I winced. So he knew. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. He then helped me up.
"That's the second time. If you're ever thinking of becoming a boxer, then forget it. You can't take a punch."
I wasn't going to. First was Kate's jealous partner, he'd sucker punched me in the Glory Hole. And now my Mother.
She'd hit me on the chin, so I wasn't going to have another black eye, but it was painful, and she might even have loosened a tooth. And after she'd hit me, I'd fallen backwards and banged my head on the floor. But my physical suffering was of no concern. What was troubling me was that Mother now knew who I really was.
"We've all finished, so it's time to go."
"Before we do, I need to speak to Rita."
I thought he was going to correct me again, but he let it pass.
"I'll go and ask her, but don't be surprised if it's a no."
It wasn't long before he was back. When he shook his head I knew that it was indeed a no.
Ten minutes later, we were in the limousine, on our way back to the club. Before leaving the room I'd put my mask on. But now it wasn't to hide my identity, it was to hide my lumps and bruises. We'd arrived at the front door, and Alice had been there to greet us. But we departed through the servant's entrance at the rear, and there was nobody to wave us off. Were they all with Mother, trying to console her?
Thankfully, Simon and Roger didn't mention what had happened. But I knew that the next day, when they were working again, it would be all around the club, and there would be a lot of motherfucker jokes. That would be embarrassing, but that was a problem for another day. Today I had to go home and face the music, and it was an understatement to say that I wasn't looking forward to it!
I was dropped off at the club, and then I drove home. There wasn't much traffic so it didn't take me long. When I opened the front door my heart was pounding in my chest, but this time it was from fear rather than from excitement. I then took a deep breath to steady my nerves.
"I'm home."
I then waited for her to respond, with words, or perhaps even another punch. But all I got was silence. I'd shouted it out, so she was either not in or she was ignoring me.
When I woke up, I felt good, but then I remembered Mother discovering who I was. I groaned. Why had I been so stupid? The mask had been on for a reason, but I had foolishly taken it off.
Last night, when I'd got home, she wasn't in. I knew that I should have stayed up and waited for her, but I'd gone to bed. That hadn't helped, it had just delayed the inevitable.
After taking a quick shower, I went downstairs. When I entered the kitchen, she was at the stove, with her back towards me. I sat down at the table. When she turned round, I braced myself. I was now going to get a tongue-lashing.
In a monotone voice, and without her usual smile, she said, "Your breakfast."
She then handed the plate to me. As I ate it she was doing things in the kitchen. And she was ignoring me. This was worse than being shouted at. There was an elephant in the room, and it needed to be introduced.
After coughing, to clear my throat, I said, "I can explain."
If looks could kill, then I'd be a dead man.
"Really? Tell me more."
Her tone was full of sarcasm, but at least she was giving me the opportunity to speak. Last night, before I'd gone to sleep, I'd spent some time thinking about what I was going to say. Then it had sounded plausible, but now it seemed feeble. However, now wasn't the time to wing it. I would go with what I had prepared, and hope for the best.
"I didn't know that it was you."
That got a snort from her, and then she said, "Is that the best that you can come up with? I know about the CCTV. Alice told me. I bet you and your mates have been laughing about me. The dumb woman that doesn't know that her Son has been fucking her."
"It wasn't working. And until you told Simon, nobody knew about us."
"I don't believe you. Alice says that she takes security seriously. It would be fixed. And it was never us, it was just you taking advantage of me."
"It was fixed, and quickly, but the first time that you were with me it was broken. So I really didn't know that it was you."
She was now thinking about what I'd said, trying to decide if she should believe me. It was in the balance, so I needed to say something that would tip it in my favour.
"Hand on heart, that's the truth."
And while I was saying it, that's where my hand was. And to help, the expression on my face was that of a man wrongly accused.
"OK, but what about the second time when you could see me? And don't tell me it wasn't working again. That's when you should have stopped it."
Truth my ass, it was a blatant lie, but she had fallen for it. I had an answer for this question as well, but I wasn't convinced that it would work. However, I didn't have anything better, so I would have to go with it.
"I really didn't want to, and I was going to say no, and then I remembered how much pleasure you'd got from the first time. I now know that I shouldn't have done it, but I did it for you. I just wanted to make you happy."
That was another lie. I'd done it for myself. The first time with her in the Glory Hole had been so good, that when she'd come back, I was never going to say no.
When I saw the tear in her eye, I nearly punched the air. She had swallowed it hook line and sinker. Then to confirm that she believed me, I got a hug. I couldn't believe that it had worked. Andy would be proud of me.
When she released me, she said, "You do realize that we must never do it again?"
"Yes."
I wanted to continue, and if she was being honest with herself, she'd admit that she did as well. But I had to agree with her. Ending it now was the sensible thing to do.
"Are you going to continue working at the club?"
I couldn't see why not. But would she continue to be a member?
"Yes. What about you?"
She wasn't as quick to answer as I'd been, and before speaking she bowed her head, so that I couldn't see her face. Then in a low voice, she said, "Yes, I'll be going back."
I understood why it was embarrassing for her to tell me that. She'd just admitted to her Son that she needed sex, and to get it, she would be going to a Glory Hole.
When I was back at the club, I was expecting to be the centre of attention. However, when I entered the common room, I didn't get any strange looks. And there wasn't any ribbing. I was surprised. It should have been common knowledge by now. Half an hour later, when Simon arrived, I got an explanation.
I asked him, "Why don't they know?"
"That's because I didn't tell anybody. Not even Roger. And why would I? You're my friend."
That made me feel bad, and I said sorry. I should have known that he wouldn't have talked about it. He then told me what had happened after Mother had knocked me out.
Purely by chance, he'd been walking past when it had happened. The sound of me crashing to the floor had been so loud, he'd immediately gone into the room to see what had happened. Finding me unconscious on the floor, he'd looked to Rita for an explanation.
Apparently, in a calm voice, she'd said, "I hit him. And you're probably wondering why I did that," then she'd pointed at me before adding, "Because he's my Son, and he's been fucking me without me knowing it."
And while he was reviving me, she'd quickly dressed. Then, without a backward glance, to check that I was OK, she'd left the room. And she was so calm that she hadn't even slammed the door.
I'd naturally assumed that everybody at the party had become aware of my guilty secret. But I was wrong. After the event, Mother had acted as if nothing had happened, so nobody had suspected anything. I was proud of her. Most Mothers would have burst into tears, or become hysterical. But not mine. She had responded by giving me what I deserved, and then she had retained her dignity by not telling anybody, other than Simon, about it. It was a private matter, to be dealt with at home. As they say, 'You should never wash your dirty linen in public'.
When I'd entered the common room I'd been anxious, but now, after talking to Simon, I was relaxed. My life was back to normal. By some miracle, Mother finding out, hadn't been the disaster that I thought that it would be. But her knowing had put a stop to it. It was going to take me a long time to get over the disappointment of that.
When I was called for my first client, Simon couldn't resist having a dig at me.
With a straight face, he said, "Do you think it's Rita?"
Then he laughed. If it was, it would only be because it was a different Rita. And of course, it wasn't.
"Hi Chris, it's Kate."
"Have you locked the door?"
"Yes, but I can unlock it if you want?"
She then laughed, and I joined in. This was the third time that I'd seen her since her partner had punched me. And now, we always greeted each other this way.
She had nice tits, and I was now enjoying them, and she was also enjoying my mouth and fingers on them. But I knew that it wouldn't be long before her pussy would want some attention. Her tits gave her pleasure, but being fucked was her passion. After only a few minutes, she was ready for that.
"Fuck me with your big cock, and don't hold back."
As soon as she was in position, I was pushing into her, and despite her being very wet, it was difficult. When I hit the top, with at least three inches to spare, she grunted. This woman had a small pussy. She'd be better off with a smaller cock. However, she always came to see me, so even though she couldn't take it all, a big cock must be what she wanted.
