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 doâŚâ
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.
