It's my 30th birthday and I'm back living with my mom, a good woman, strong and passionate. After my divorce was final I was laid off, so I took some writing classes and bought a dictionary and thesaurus. Now was as good a time as any to start a new career.
My dad, Andrew, passed 3 years ago while on vacation in Paris, a heart attack at 54. They were visiting my stepmothers, Alexandria's, parents. They met when I was about 5; Alex was a 17 year old au pair from Belguim, and my father was an up and coming 30 year old contract lawyer, with a son. My mother died giving birth to me.
I'm my 20's attending college locally, communting back and forth. I'd have my late nights out and walk in the door at 2 a.m.. Every now and again I'd catch my stepmother coming out of the shower, walking into the bathroom after her and my dad had fun or just hear them have sex down the hall. She was a hell of a screamer. While in college I met my future wife, graduated, then moved 300 miles away. It had been years since I was home and seeing Alex was something I was looking forward too.
"Dan! Give me a hug, you hunk-a-man you." Her arms opened as I put my bags down, my arms reached for hers. Alexandria looked better than I had remembered and smelt divine. "Looks like the divorce has treated you well?"
"Yeah I can't complain, she got the house and I got my freedom. Are you sure it's ok? I can stay in a hotel for a few days, till I can find an apartment."
"Don't be silly. I set up your old room. Take those bags upstairs and get settled, I've got some steaks going on the grill."
"That sounds good. Thanks". So that was what I did, passing her to go down the hallway then up the stairs. Very little had changed, my room at the end of the hall was repainted but in the same blue color. The four post bed had the finest sheets money could buy. Looking thru the rear window of my room I could see the yard. She had fixed it up, some newly planted trees, stoned patio, chairs and table to make one of those outdoor kitchens. It was nice and I was glad Dad had taken care of her with the insurance money. Just off to the right of the patio was a Jacuzzi that my body was going to take advantage of.
Changing into a dressy pair of shorts and polo shirt, I met Alexandria out back. She was flipping over the steaks. I stopped to gaze at her for a long moment, before opening the sliding glass door. Alex had gotten better with age it seemed. She wasn't a size two and that was fine with me, probably a 10 would fit her best. Alex's opened toed heels made her legs thick and firm, her ass curved perfectly beneath a black skirt. The white tank top showed her waist, breasts were about a 36DD. She has these green eyes that just sucked you in, her chin was daintily pointed, high cheek bones and thick, wavy, shoulder length blonde hair. My stepmother looked delicious.
"Are you coming out or do I have to feed you?" She joked.
Her voice broke my train of thought, so I slid the door open and walked to the table. "Sorry. It's been awhile. The house looks great, you...well....you look incredible Mom."
"Thank you. I took me some time after your father left us. But with our friends and family, I got on my feet after a few months. I still do miss him."
"Me too. Have you been dating? Seeing anyone? It's been over three years."
"Dating? It's never even been a thought"
"Why the hell not? You're a gorgeous woman and your only what? 43?"
"44. Oh and speaking of age, Happy Birthday", she got up to put a kiss to my cheek then head over to the grill to check on the steaks.
"Don't avoid the question" I followed her to take a serving plate. "I've been divorced a year and started dating a few weeks ago."
"A death and a divorce are two different things Dan." She puts the two medium well steaks to the plate.
"No they aren't, they both take time to recover from and then you move on. It's a new beginning, a new chapter. Dad would not want you sulking for the rest of your life, Ale.....Mom"
"It's alright, either is fine. I know I'm not your mother, but I do love you like my own"
"I know and thank you", from behind I kissed her cheek, her ass grazed over my crotch.
"I've thought about it", we both sat, while she spoke and I served the steaks. "It's something I've never done."
"Look, you can cook, your kind, your drop dead sexy." I had a hard time believing I had said that out loud.
"Really? You're just saying that"
"No, I'm not Mom. You are gorgeous, a classic reubenesque woman. Any guy would kill to have someone like that. Hell, I'd give my left ball to have someone like that."
"Well......thank you" Her legs crossed underneath the table.
"You know I would hear you and Dad making love." That was said on purpose, I wanted to test the waters of her sensitivity to sex. I began to eat my steak.
Nearly choking on hers, she answered. "Daniel! Oh my, I'm so sorry"
"What? It was fine. I kinda enjoyed listening, it wasnt like I was getting any myself", I smiled eagerly.
"Your father use to put a pillow over my face. Andrew was afraid I'd wake the neighbors." We both laughed and then it made me think of doing the same to her. During the rough patch of my marriage I would go online for bondage sites, D/s, S & M, chat rooms, etc. My book would be based on it in some form.
"Can I ask you a personal question Mom?"
"Sure, you know I'm an open book."
"Were you and Dad...'adventurous'?
"Adventurous? What do you mean?"
"Well, kinky, you know, tying each other up, spanking, stuff like that"
She turned cherry red, "Your father was quite the kinky man. We had our fun. We never swung or anything like that, but he would, well, have his way with me. Why do you ask?"
"Well, I've started writing again. Ellie was never into it and the women I've dated since were too prudish to even consider it. It's interesting to me, the power exchange. It gets me going and what better to write a story about that something that, 'peaks' my interest."
