I awakened by the sound of mother moving about the house. I had heard it many times before. It always occurred when my father went away to one of the construction jobs, sometimes-leaving mother and I alone for several weeks.
I have a suspicion mother deliberately made noises to try to waken me so I would get up and she could have company in her late night restlessness. If such was her intention then for a long time she failed to dislodge me from my bed.
Mother is a timid sort of person â what I believe is sometimes called a âMousy little woman.â She always spoke and moved very quietly, except when she was engaged in her midnight crashes and bangs. She is little more than five feet tall, pretty in a delicate sort of way, slim and from what I could see, having small breasts. Her legs could hardly be described as long and sexy, but were in fact reasonably shapely. She gave the impression of a small, soft brown mouse that would scuttle away at the first sign of danger.
When father had to go away to work mother became very miserable. She missed him terribly. I often felt that I might do more to alleviate her loneliness but as so often with youth, self-interest would intervene. Then on the night in question things changed.
I was awakened by an unusually loud crash even for mother. I thought that this time there might have been an accident, and decided to investigate. My search for the source of the noise led me to the kitchen where I discovered mother sitting forlornly at the table with a cup of tea in front of her.
She looked up as I came in and gave what I can only think was a welcoming smile.
âWhat was all that noise?â I asked.
âI just dropped some saucepans,â she replied.
What she was doing moving saucepans around in the middle of the night I donât know, and seeing no obvious signs of mess or damage I said, âOh, I thought you might have had an accident. Iâll go back to bed.â
âStay with me for a little while, darling,â mother said. âHave a cup of tea.â
I glanced at her and she was giving me a pleading look. Unable to resist the appeal of a distressed maiden, even if she was my mother and no longer a maiden, I sat down at the table with her.
There was silence for a while, neither of us seeming to know what to say, then I tried to break the ice.
âYou miss dad really badly donât you, mum?â
âYes,â she said, and I saw a tear roll down her cheek. âEspecially at night. Itâs so lonely in that bed I canât sleep.â
Embarrassed by motherâs tears, I tried to make a silly joke of the situation and said, âPerhaps you should buy one of those blow up dolls from the sex shop.â
Mother blushed and seemed to take my joke seriously when she said, âIt wouldnât be the same as having a flesh and blood person to snuggle into.â
Like many people when their joke has gone awry, I tried to reinforce it by extending it. âPerhaps I should keep you company?â
Mother had been looking down at the table, but now her head came up slowly. âMy God,â I thought, âNow Iâve put my foot right in it. Thereâll be hell to pay.â
She looked at me for nearly a full minute in silence, then said very quietly, âWould you really, darling? Thatâs a lovely idea sweetheart.â
Anything else she might have said could not have astounded me as those words did. I didnât know what to say or where to look.
Mother rose, came round the table to me and kissing me on the cheek took may hand and said, âThank you my love. Come along.â
From my early childhood, as my father left for one of the distant construction sites, he used to say that rather silly thing that fathers do say to their male children: âLook after your mother, youâre the man of the house while Iâm away.â I somehow donât think that going to bed with mother was included in his idea of âlooking after your mother.â
I was led in a daze to her bedroom and bed. I stood by the bed not moving until she said, âWell get in my love.â
I obeyed. I felt as if I was dreaming â or was it having a nightmare. I could have protested, fled, but I didnât. I meekly got in beside her.
I turned my back on her and she snuggled up to me with one arm thrown over my body. I thought it would be impossible for me to go to sleep, but I must have dozed off, because some time later I came to.
Mother was still cuddling into my back, but her arm had changed position. Her hand had found the slit in my pajama bottoms and was fondling my penis. She was murmuring apparently to herself, âFuck me Gordon, fuck me my lovely son, fuck mummy.â
The stimulation and these words brought me fully awake, and my penis hardened under her hand.
She probably thought I was asleep when she began to play with my shaft, but with its hardening realised, I had wakened.
âOh darling,â she said in a gasping sort of voice, âPut it in me. Please my love. It wouldnât have to mean anything to you, but it would mean so much to me. Just this once, sweetheart.â
I was now fully erect and throbbing. Mother rolled over on to her back still saying, âPut it in me, sweetheart. I love you, I really doâŠâ
For me the situation had become irresistible. I came over her. The room was dark and I could not see her properly, but she fumbled for my shaft and guided it into her.
Once I had penetrated her, mother seemed to undergo a change of personality. From the little mousy woman she changed to a raging monster. She began to scream and yell, âKill me you brute, kill me. Fuck me to death⊠Kill me with your beautiful spear⊠Fuck me all the way to my heartâŠâ
I was thrusting into her with all the strength I could muster, but she, wrapping her legs round me, kept saying, âDeeper, deeper.â She was writhing on the end of my shaft in a struggle to get every last millimetre into her.
I was astounded by the strength she displayed â this normally quiet fragile looking woman. She beat me with her fists and her legs held me in a clamp like grip, then suddenly she gave a tremendous heave, and her screaming rose to a shriek. I felt a burning sensation down my back, and it was only afterwards that I discovered she had lacerated me with her nails. She bit my neck as she sobbed, fighting with me for more and more of my penis.
In the midst of this battle I suddenly came, bursting into her like a stick of dynamite exploding. Her cries changed: âAll of it⊠fill me upâŠgive me babies you bastardâŠlots and lots of babiesâŠyou bruteâŠOhâŠohâŠohâŠaah.â
With that last sound she began to subside, and I with her.
I pulled out of her but she still held me in her arms. âThank you darling. Thank you, thank you my dearest love.â
Her hold on me relaxed and she drifted off to sleep. I must have followed soon after.
When I woke in the morning mother was still sleeping. I had to get to university lectures, and also, I wanted to delay as long as possible the confrontation with mother I felt had to come, so I got out of bed and hastened through my shower and breakfast. I felt the water sting my back as I showered, and looking in the mirror, saw motherâs claw marks. They had obviously been bleeding, so I conjectured there must be blood in the bed.
I was just about finished eating when mother came on the scene. The wild cat of the night had gone, and after giving me one glance, made no further eye contact with me. She began her mouse-like scuttling round the kitchen and neither of us said a word.
I left for my lectures puzzled that the momentous events of the night had brought forth not a single utterance. I was relieved however that the things I felt must be said had been delayed. Putting off the evil hour, as it were.
I might just as well have stayed home for all I took in from the lectures that day. My mind was constantly reflecting on mother and I, and tried to think how if necessary, I could open the discussion.
One of my problems was that I liked what we had done. Just thinking of it during the day gave me an erection. I might strive to tell myself that it was wrong, it was incest, immoral and a betrayal of my father, but it had no real influence over my lustful feelings.
As is so often the case in these situations, once you have opened the door, it is very hard to close it again. There are plenty of sexual one-night stands, but in most cases, the couple comes together, then part, often for good. I had to go on living with mother, unless I decided to flee the family home, and that did not appeal to me.
I had never consciously thought of mother as a sexual partner, but now, having as it were enjoyed her, I hungered for her. The encounter of the night had been brief and at least on my part uncalculated, but I could see the gratifying possibilities if we continued to have sex.
Arriving home I found mother working in the kitchen. I began my prepared apology: âMother, I am sorryâŠâ but the little mouse cut in.
âNothing to be sorry for, Gordon. It worked out just the way I planned it to. It is a pity we started so late, though. Weâll get to bed early tonight and do some proper love making.â The wild cat had reentered.
