It's not everyday that you get to fuck your own mother. But somehow, it happened to me and we both loved it.
Let me explain:
My mother works for a fancy Las Vegas casino. Through hard work, determination, and luck (thanks to a bunch of people retiring), my mother got a big promotion.
Her primary goal was to oversee the expansion of a new gondola attraction ride, which was meant to bring in more couples.
She explained it in more detail a few weeks before the ride was set to open, as we sat in the living room at home together.
"A gondola ride," she said. "You don't know what that is?"
"Never heard of it."
"Sure you have. You know those long slender boats that you would see in Italy. Two people would sit inside while a man would paddle the boat from behind. They move slowly down a canal."
I suddenly understood. "Oh,
that
, I know what you're talking about now."
"Well, we're opening one of those soon."
"In Vegas?"
"That's what makes it so special," she replied. "It's in an underground water canal beneath the hotel, with displays of Italy. It's automated, so there won't be anyone paddling it."
"Sounds romantic I guess."
"That's the idea. Just think; a slow gondola ride on the water, complete privacy, an Italian setting, and also some Italian music in the background too. Pretty cool, isn't it?"
I shrugged, "Yeah, I guess so."
"Young people these days," she replied, shaking her head. "No appreciation for the art of romance."
"Maybe with the right person," I joked. "You never know."
"That's something I'd love to see. Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes. It's my first big project and I'm very excited."
There was a genuine pride in her voice. My mother has always been a driven person, and since this was her first big project, failure wasn't an option. She was determined to make this a massive success.

Weeks later. I had the day off from college and my mother came down the stairs dressed in her professional attire.
She looked sharp and sassy. She looked like a corporate type, but with a style that showcased her spunky attitude. She wore an office skirt, stockings, and a buttoned up top.
Her makeup was more heavy than usual, and it looked nice. She wore red lipstick and she had extra mascara around her eyes.
It was for a purpose too. It was the day she was going to meet with the President of the Casino to discuss the upcoming grand opening of the gondola ride. And my mother was certainly dressed to impressed.
"You look great, mom."
She blushed and fixed her skirt. "Thank you."
"Ready for the big meeting?"
"I am," she replied. "And that's what I wanted to talk to you about."
"Sure."
"I just got off the phone with the President and he told me to bring a date. Unfortunately, I'm single. So that means
you'll
be my date."
Oh no, my day off was going to be ruined.
"I think the President meant to bring your boyfriend. You should have told him that you're single."
She shook her head. "I'm pretty sure my boss meant to bring someone to sit with. You see, the President gets water sickness. So he wants me to ride it, then I'll tell him my reaction. And obviously he wants me to ride with someone.
Anyone.
That's what he means by 'date,' since the ride is meant for two people."
"Can't you get someone else?"
She sharpened her look. "I
could
, but I don't want to. Overseeing the production of this ride is the crown jewel of my career. It's a big thing for me. So please, I want you to see it."
With that look on her face, I knew better than to argue with my mother. After all, she was in complete corporate mode, meaning she was unstoppable.
"Fine."
The sharp look turned into a smile. "Wonderful. Keep in mind that the ride isn't totally finished yet. It's roughly 80% complete. But there's enough there for the ride to still be a memorable experience."
"Sounds good."
"Great, now get dressed. We'll be leaving soon."
"Should I wear my swimming trunks?"
She sharpened her look again. "Haven't you been listening? This
isn't
a water park ride. It's a romantic boat ride on the water. You won't be getting wet, okay?"
"Relax, I was only kidding."
"Very funny, now get dressed. You'll be meeting my boss."
At that point, neither of us could have known how an innocent boat ride was going to turn into something incestuous.

We went to the casino and down to the ride area. The entrance looked beautiful, and there were still signs of minor construction and other things which still needed to be worked on, just like mom had said.
The President of the casino was waiting there, along with a few executives.
It was my first time ever meeting the boss. He was a large man with a jovial attitude and big smile. My mother shook his hand, along with the other executives.
My mother gestured to me, and I shook all of their hands too.
"This is Matt, my date," my mother said to the businessmen. "We'll be taking the first official gondola ride together."
There was a playful tone in my mother's voice, which should have alluded to the fact that I wasn't literally her 'date.' It should have been obvious that I was her son. After all, there was a 20+ year age gap between my mother and I.
However, the President of the casino didn't really get the hint. He had a surprised reaction on his face, then a big broad smile. It seemed like he legitimately thought I was mom's boyfriend, despite the age gap.
My mother sensed this and was about to make a correction, but the boss was determined to embrace our seemingly taboo relationship.
"Pleasure to meet you," the boss said to me in his loud deep voice, shaking my hand again with a massive smile on his face.
"You too, sir," I replied.
He turned to my mother, continuing his cheerful smile. "You two make such a lovely couple, Ms. Deverns. Nevermind what anyone else thinks."
My mother looked slightly mortified at the thought that I was her much younger boyfriend, and she wasn't given a chance to correct things, since the boss was such a commanding person who was used to dominating any conversation.
He continued, "Now onto business. I hear your gondola ride is looking great so far. I'd ride it myself, but I don't like boats. So you and your date have a ride. Let me know what you think."
"Yes sir."
"We've already invested a lot of money in this thing. And we plan to invest a lot more in promotions. I want our hotel to be the top destination for anyone wanting to get married, couples, and honeymooners. Heck, I want anyone in love to come to our hotel."
The boss gave a loud hearty laugh and his executives followed suit. Even my mother managed to crack a few laughs to make the boss happy.
"That shouldn't be a problem," my mother replied. "We've created something romantic for people to enjoy."
The boss nodded and grinned. "So I've heard. But I'm looking for something a little more than just romantic, if you catch my drift. With the amount of money we're spending on this, young couples should want to make babies when they're done with this ride. Older couples shouldn't need viagra anymore. Do you catch my drift?"
My mother's eyes were slightly widened and she slowly nodded. "Yes sir, I do."
"That's the spirit, Ms. Deverns. Romance is bland. We need something a little spicier. Now that'll help us sell plenty more tickets, don't you agree?"
"You've read my mind," my mother replied with a forced smile.
"Ms. Deverns, I knew there was a reason I promoted you to this job. You're a go-getter. I like that about you. Always one step ahead of the game. Now, let's get this ride started. I want your opinion on this thing."
"We'll be back in 20 minutes sir."
The President of the casino gave us big smiles, strong handshakes, and a couple of hard slaps on the shoulder. Personally, I thought he was a great guy with a major personality. But my mother had a determined look on her face.
I know my mother better than anyone. And she was in total corporate mode still. Her boss had upped the ante. The game had changed. There was a fire in my mother's eyes which showed that she was ready to do anything to succeed.
Absolutely anything.

Moments later, the trip began.
I sat next to my mother on the private gondola ride after mom's boss and the other executives congratulated us on being the first to test the new attraction. They waited behind for us to return in 20 minutes.
The ride itself was better than I expected.
It was exactly what mom had described: A slow moving boat ride with a very private and intimate experience. We were in an underground tunnel which was designed to look like a canal in Italy. There were models and cutouts of Italian architecture, which provided the background for the boat ride. All the while, romantic Italian music was playing on the sound speakers.
"This is pretty cool," I said.
"Not good enough."
When I looked at my mother, I saw that the fire in her eyes was still there. Her face was stern and she was still in business mode, refusing to enjoy the ride she helped oversee.
"Don't be so hard on yourself. Your boss clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. He hasn't even seen all this stuff yet. He'll love it, trust me."
"I can't believe he wasn't more clear," she complained. "We discussed creating a romantic ride with all the meetings we've had. Now he wants something more erotic? Is he kidding?"
"This is romantic
and
erotic. Like I said, your boss hasn't even seen the ride yet. He doesn't know what he's talking about."
"True. Luckily I still have time before the opening to make all the necessary adjustments."
I shrugged. "It's up to you."
"In the meantime, I can't let them see me like this."
"Like what?"
"Disappointed," she replied. "I can't let them know that this ride is a failure."
I looked around at the displays and scenery, and I couldn't believe what my mother was saying.
"Are you serious? This ride is amazing."
"But it's not what my boss wants" she explained. "He wants something a bit sexier. And I've worked too damned hard to disappoint my boss in the weeks before the grand opening."
Arguing seemed to be useless. My mother's work ethic was both a blessing and a curse. It allowed her to succeed quickly. But at the time, like now, it seemed to cloud her judgment (at least in my opinion).
"It's your decision."
She turned to look at me, "We need to make this look romantic."
"It is romantic."
"I mean
us
" she said. "We need to look like this ride has given us a boost to our love life. After all, he thinks we're dating."
"I think we should have corrected him on that."
"Maybe if I could have gotten a word in, I would have. But he loves to talk. And now he's so excited to see our reactions."
