The next few days were strained, to be polite, around the house. Mom, and I moved about the house as if we were walking on eggshells around each other, and did our best to not be alone in the same room. Dad, for his part, was blissfully unaware that a single thing was amiss.
Mom spent an overly generous amount of time cleaning up after the party, fussing over the littlest thing. Dad even commented jokingly on how 'show ready' she was making the house look.
All the time she moved about the house avoiding having to have any real interaction with me I observed her in a different light.
I knew my mom was good looking, mostly due to comments my friends made about her. Now though I started to really look at her.
She went to the gym usually three or four times a week, and did yoga another couple of nights now that she had some time that I was older. Not having to drive me all over town for practices, lessons, and the like gave her a lot more free time than she had in the past. Mom was fit, athletic. Rarely did I see her without makeup on, and she always took great care with her appearance, today being no different.
I sat at the table, my breakfast dishes still yet to clear, watching my mom's back as she did the dishes. After breakfast she always went to the gym on Mondays, and considering her outfit it looked like today was no different.
She wore brightly patterned leggings that molded to her firm butt very nicely, and a pink sports tank top that matched. Her slightly longer than shoulder length brown hair already was put up in a pony tail that swung lazily as she worked at the counter.
Mom had some good hips I noticed, and the tops she choose always showed off her chest well. Probably D cups I presumed while watching her.
My mom wasn't just good looking, she was hot. My friends were right.
Dad had left right after he was finished with his food, barely giving mom even a peck on the cheek before running to a client meeting. Alone in the house it looked like mom was rushing to get out of there.
Grabbing my dishes I moved to the counter beside her, ostensibly to drop them in the sink. Mom took them out of my hand.
"Thanks, honey." Never even looking up. Standing this close to her I could smell the coco butter lotion she was so fond of.
"Mom.." I trailed off, not sure what to say next.
Her movements slowed at the tone, and sound of my voice. She didn't stop loading the dishwasher, however, and apparently still couldn't make eye contact.
"I.. I know honey. I.." she trailed off long enough that I thought she might not talk any more "I.. Shouldn't have done that."
The dishwasher, apparently full, snapped shut, and mom finally stood up fully and faced me, her arms folding across her chest.
"I shouldn't have done that, it was wrong." With more conviction this time. She lost her hard stance a bit, moving a bit a stray hair that had come loose from her face.
"I'm sorry, really, really, sorry, honey. I was really drunk, which is not an excuse" she made a cutting motion with her free hand "but.. I don't know what to say. I'm so, so sorry."
My heart was pounding hard enough that I could feel it.
"It's okay mom, it was my fault.."
"No. No it's not your fault. Don't say that, I'm the mom here."
"I should have locked my door..."
"and I shouldn't have.. have.. done that." She interrupted, waving away my attempts to make her feel better. She crossed her arms again, hugging herself and turned slightly away from me, no longer able to look at me out of shame.
"I'm so sorry honey." She whispered.
"Mom." I said with more force. "It's okay. Really."
She bit her lip, listening. Damn she had cute lips.
"I.. well it felt good, actually." There I'd said it. I'd thought of little other than the feeling of her hand on my cock, jerking pulse after pulse of cum out of me since that night.
"What?" She half turned back to me now, an honest look of confusion on her face, as if she didn't hear my words properly.
"I said, it felt good. Actually." I sheepishly shrugged a little.
There was a long silence as she absorbed my words.
"I don't know what to say."
"I just wanted to let you know that you didn't break me. "I laughed nervously. "I'm fine, you don't need to be worried about me needing therapy or something now okay? I know you've been worried."
"I have been. A lot." She sighed, leaning back against the counter top, relaxing a little for the first time in days around me.
