I was halfway through my senior year of high school when my mother's and my life changed forever. Mom had me out of wedlock to a man I never knew. He died before I was born, and mom never really talked about him. He had been married, that much I knew, but then specifics beyond that are still unknown to me. I never much cared to find out. Mom's and my future were taken care of through his will, even though I was not legitimate, his will still secured a college and a trust fund for me. My mother also received a sizeable sum to stay quiet about the apparent one night stand she had with him and stay quiet about me. So, I guess he had been well to do and probably had other legitimate heirs who did not want either of us around. At any rate, mom though young had never spent more money than she had and was able to put herself through college and secure a job for herself that gave us more of a safety net than we really needed or used.
I'm not sure if mom had wanted other children, but a complication during my birth had caused her to be unable to have any more kids. She had always shrugged and then smiled noncommittally when I had asked if she had wanted more children. Mom was flirty at every chance she got and liked to have a good time, but she never over did it and always took care of me. I don't ever remember her bringing guys home or heard of any romantic partners, so I am sure she was quite lonely. Even so, she never complained and seemed more than content with our lives. My name is Alexander. Mom says she named me after "Alexander the Great." My mother's name is Stephanie. I had been running track and swimming for most of my life and hoped to get a college scholarship for one or both sports. Mom liked to swim as much as I did, and we had a pool in our back yard big enough for us to swim laps in.
Mom has a great figure, and I was constantly being told by my friends that she was quite the MILF. I had to agree, but it was not something that I liked to hear from them. Both of us were in excellent shape and stayed that way through swimming and my running track. Mom had short blonde hair down to just past her ears, that framed her face perfectly. She had blue eyes and tan colored skin. I also had blonde hair that I kept short and blue eyes, and though I didn't tan on purpose, my running and swimming gave me tan colored skin as well. If people didn't know us, they assumed we were brother and sister. She looked a lot younger than she actually was. I was just a few inches taller than her, with a more chiseled body frame. I never lifted weights, but the swimming gave me well defined muscles. Mom was had hardly any body fat, but her muscles were not readily visible. She also had a great ass and perfectly natural D cup breasts that she was very proud of.
Mom and I had a close relationship and were always able to talk about any subject. Neither of us were shy in the least, and it was no big deal for me to be swimming laps in the pool while mom sunbathed naked. We both respected each other's privacy and looked out for each other. Neither of us found it strange to be holding hands on the couch at night and "cuddling" while we watched TV. We were both somewhat free spirits, so while we never walked around the house naked, both of us were comfortable walking and lounging around the house with very little on. Mom preferred an oversized shirt, that just barely covered her ass cheeks. I preferred baggie shorts in the summer and pajama bottoms in the winter, along with a baggie t-shirt. I loved to tease her year-round by asking if she was cold, due to her hard nipples pointing through her shirt and the fact that she rarely wore a bra around the house. She preferred thongs, so I always got a perfect view of her luscious ass cheeks when she bent over for one reason or another.
It was Friday night and I had been out on a date. I drove home, to find mom on the couch in a black silk slip and drinking a glass of red wine. She turned to me with the cutest face, with her cheeks bulging out from her surprised gulp of wine at my early return home. I smiled and laughed out loud at her reaction, as she glared at me and swallowed her mouthful of wine. She shook her head as she was not meaning to take such a large sip of wine, then turned back to me and said, "It's not nice to laugh at other people's misfortune, Alex."
I couldn't help but laugh at her amazingly cute reaction to my coming home and look on her face with her cheeks puffed out wide as her mouth was filled with her unintentional large gulp of wine. I laughed out, "Don't worry mom, I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing with you."
She mock glared at me as she said, "I'm not laughing, mister."
I smiled as I retorted, "Well, you would be if you had seen the look on your face."
Mom then stuck her tongue out at me playfully and then turned worried, as she asked "What are you doing home so early? I wasn't expecting you home until midnight at the earliest. Did the date go ok, honey?"
I shrugged and then looked back at her with a smirk as I said, "Not to be crude, mom, but I left at seven and it's only ten o'clock now. So no, the date didn't go so well."
Mom's face dropped as she asked, "What happened?"
I shrugged as I took off my coat and shoes, before walking into the living room. I shook my head as I said, "Eh, I just really couldn't take Tanya's constant need for compliments. Every time I turned around it seemed like she was asking if I thought she looked better than this girl, if I thought she had better fashion sense than that girl, or who had the better body, and on and on and on. I just couldn't deal with it anymore. So... that's over and done with."
Mom looked at me sadly, as she patted the couch next to her offering me my customary place at her side. I shook my head and said "I need to get out of these clothes first, mom. I would prefer to relax in actual comfort."
Mom smirked at me as she teased, "You should have said that to Tanya. I'm sure she would have obliged you readily enough."
I laughed and nodded, as we shared a laugh at the other girl's expense. Mom then added, "Well, then hurry up and get changed. I want my cuddle bunny. Or just strip naked and join me now, I could use the feel of a naked muscle man hugging me."
Considering our constant back and forth and our incessant attempts to one up each other, I shrugged and began stripping right in the living room. Mom whooped and cheered, and said she wished she had her purse nearby to shove money in my underwear. I then joined her on the couch wearing only my usual boxer briefs. I settled behind her in the spooning position, as I pulled her body flush with mine. Mom sighed and laid her head back into me, as she breathed out "Sorry, your date went poorly, baby. I doubt I would be able to have withstood that either though, so your probably better off. Besides, you've always been better at concentrating on grades and your athletics. I'm sure that will pay off better than your ability to tolerate some high school floozy."
I laughed out, "Floozy, mom? Really? I don't think there have been any floozies since the dark ages when you went to high school."
Mom gasped at my retort, then jabbed her ass back into my crotch, as she said "I am not old, mister."
I hugged her tighter, as I placed a kiss to the back of her head. I then answered, "I know you aren't, mom. I'm just messing with you."
Mom scoffed to herself, as she let me hug her close. She then wiggled her body into mine, as she sighed and said "School isn't the place for a lot of exclusive dating, neither is college really. It's too easy to get hooked into something you aren't ready for. You have a great opportunity to go to a great college on a full scholarship. You already have a trust fund and a college fund, and if you don't have to touch your college fund then that is even better for you. Just be careful, honey."
