It was Saturday morning. Linda and her pregnant daughter, Amy, were driving toward Ellen's home to meet with her and her son, James. Linda's husband, Don, and Amy's husband, Steve were playing in a golf tournament and would not be home until after the Awards Dinner, late that evening, So the women were free and clear for the whole day.
"What did you tell James about today when you talked with him yesterday?"
"I think I handled it pretty well. I told him that you and I were concerned about the relationship between Ellen and him. We thought that we could help him get over his fantasy with his mother by dealing with it directly. And without revealing anything about our relationship with him, we had discussed the possibility with Ellen. She had agreed to try. "
"Did you warn him about not discussing this with his mother before our arrival?"
"Yes. Initially, he was surprised that we had talked to Ellen, but I reassured him that we had not revealed the highly personal information that he had told us. We had manufactured a story about him and I that got her attention. And if we referenced it today, he needed to go with the flow in order for us to be successful. I told him that if things went right today, his ultimate sexual fantasy could be achieved."
"I'm sure that clinched it. You handled it perfectly. To make certain of success today, I went to see Ellen on Thursday about her clothes for today. She modeled two very sexy outfits for me and well.....one thing led to another, and we were a bit promiscuous."
"You're a pip, Mom. You're really getting into the act. I am surprised, but I know you well enough to know you handled it just right."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence. After today, I think we will learn if Ellen feels the same way. And if she does, we are in for loads of fun. Underneath that rigid personality is a very sexy woman with a beautiful body."
"Omigod, I am starting to itch already. By the way, now that I am in my seventh month, I need to be more careful on how my body is treated. I was sore after I rode James the other day, so deep penetration will have to wait until after the baby is born."
When they got to the house, Ellen let them in. She was wearing a baggy sweater that went down to her knees. James heard the doorbell and bounded down the stairs to greet the visitors. Amy had warned him not to be too friendly so he shook their hands.
"I am glad you could come. I'm sure we can settle this minor issue in a friendly manner. I prepared some iced tea and cookies. Excuse me while I go to the kitchen."
When she came back, the baggy sweater had been removed to reveal a sexy scoop tight sweater, which revealed the firm lines of Ellen's body and when she bent to serve tea, the upper half of her huge breasts were open to inspection. Linda could see James' mouth open in surprise at the view of her impressive cleavage. "Is that outfit new, Mom?"
"Yes, I got it just the other day. Like it?"
"You bet."
When Ellen sat down, her mini skirt pulled upwards and when she shifted her legs, you could almost make out the triangular outline of her mound. Linda noticed that James was staring straight in that direction. He seemed mesmerized.
Linda paused to take a long sip of tea so that James could absorb himself in this view of his mother. She smiled inwardly as the first phase of her plan was working.
"We're here because Amy thinks the world of James and doesn't want to let the recent episodes ruin his career. I am sure that James never meant to do anything wrong. After all, my daughter is extremely attractive, even in her pregnant condition. And some young men tend to fantasize about pregnant women to the point that their emotions overcome their good judgment....sort of a mommy dearest fantasy."
Ellen picked right up. "James, you don't have to be embarrassed. You know it was wrong to touch Amy, don't you."
"Yeah, mom, I didn't mean any harm. As Linda said, it happened all of sudden. I guess I didn't think clearly."
"Ok. Please apologize to Amy."
"I'm sorry Amy. Certainly, it will never happen, again." James wasn't sure what he was exactly apologizing for, but he went with the flow, as instructed.
"Linda and Amy, that's settles that. Are you satisfied?"
James still had eyes pinpointed directly at Ellen's body. It was if he had never seen her before.
"Thank you, Ellen. Amy, do you accept James' apology."
"Yes. I do. But don't you think that we should try to get to the root of James' behavior. Perhaps he wouldn't mind answering a few personal questions, and Ellen could pitch in as well." Without waiting for a response, Amy directed her attention to James.
"James, do you think that your special attention to me was because I was pregnant? That I represented motherhood to you." "Yeah, I guess so."
"James, I am going to be very personal. I have a degree in psychology. And you can consider me a professional. I hope that you will not be embarrassed to talk in front of either my mom or yours, both of whom obviously care about you."
"Sure. If I can avoid problems in the future, I will be as candid as possible."
"Since I represented motherhood, don't you think that I might represent your own mother?"
"In what way?"
"If you have feelings for me, it could be that you were transferring your feelings for your mother to me."
"What Amy is getting at, is that many young men have sexual fantasies which involve their mother. You are not unusual at all. In this instance, for whatever reason, your latent feelings came out in your relationship with Amy. Do you understand?"
"I think so."
Amy continued. "Ellen, in your mind, can you visualize James' having these latent emotions?
"Did I do something wrong?"
"Ellen, I notice that you are wearing very provocative clothes today. James can't seem to take his eyes off your body."
"But I don't usually!!!"
Linda picked up the ball. "That's the point. You haven't established a consistent relationship with James. One minute, you provoke him sexually, the next, you become sexless. He doesn't know what to expect from his mother."
"James, be honest. Do you love your mother?"
"Sure."
"Do you dream about her becoming more than a mother, more of a personal lover?
Ellen broke in. "You don't have to answer that James."
"Well do you want to answer the question?"
"Mom, I have to be honest. I have had the type of fantasies that Linda and Amy are mentioning. But they were good fantasies."
"Oh, James. I am so sorry. I was completely in the dark. I feel so guilty. What can I do?"
"Amy, what do you think, you are the professional here. What can Linda do?
"Since James is nineteen, almost a man, the action I recommend is more drastic than I would do for a boy. I think that to a degree, Ellen has to make James' fantasy come true, as much for herself as him. Once he gets it out of his system, he should be able to function normally. And Linda's guilt should dissipate."
"Let me clarify. You are saying that the two of them have to do something very personal, very sexual to get back to normal."
"That is my opinion."
"Just once?"
"I am not sure. There is no definitive answer. I would not be surprised if it took several personal experiences to completely work it out. Linda and James would have to be the judge of that."
"Ellen. Do you think you can make this sacrifice in the interests of James' future?
"James, will you think less of me if we do something along the lines that Amy and Linda have suggested?
This was the moment of truth and James played it magnificently.
"Not at all, Mom. I think I will love you more for your sacrifice!!!"
"Well that's it. Amy and I were glad to be helpful. We'll leave you to your own devices."
Ellen stopped us. "No, you needn't leave. James and I would be eternally grateful if you stayed and helped us get through what we needed to do, at least this first time. Will you stay and help?"
"Mom, this is a bit unusual, but in the circumstances, we might provide transitional assistance."
