Mommy's Rules Ch. 05
We had a double header in a town about three hours away on Saturday. I got up early and rode the team bus to the games, but Mom and I had already planned on driving home together. We thought it would be fun to stop about halfway home for an early dinner.
We split the double header, winning the first game and losing the second. All my work in the gym was really paying off. I was much stronger than I had been at the beginning of the season and had a homer in each of the games, my first two of the season. Mom had even commented on how buff I looked and how big my muscles were. I was a big guy to start with, and now I was a muscled big guy. I tried not to spend too much time admiring myself in the mirror, but it was hard. I looked good.
Mom arrived about midway through the first game and cheered along with the other fans of our college. This team did have a locker room for us, and I showered and changed afterwards so I'd look presentable for dinner out.
For the first couple of hours' drive we chatted and listened to music. The restaurant was an hour from home so the second half of the drive would be shorter. I was kind of looking forward to the second half, thinking maybe we'd fool around a little bit while we travelled.
Mom had asked me to find a nice restaurant in the town and I chose an Italian place with good Google reviews. It was pretty swanky and Mom ordered a glass of some really expensive red wine. I'd be driving the rest of the way home. We chatted and commented on some of the other people in the restaurant. Mom was an inveterate people-watcher, and I had inherited the trait.
Just after the salads arrived I said to Mom, "Something's been kind of bothering me lately."
"What is it, honey?" she asked, looking concerned. She may have thought it was something about our recent activities in the bedroom, but it wasn't.
"Well, we both know that Dad's a complete prick." I paused before continuing. "But I just wonder why he's never called or tried to get in touch with me after the divorce. I mean, you divorced him, not me. I hate the guy, but it just kind of bugs me that he just disappeared."
Mom frowned. "You've already explained it, sweetie. He's a complete prick. Since he can no longer control you and dominate you, he has no need for you." She looked me in the eye and frowned again.
"I'm sorry, baby, but that's the father you were dealt. It's not your fault. You don't know the half of it."
"What's the other half I don't know?" I asked.
"I don't want to talk about it," she answered.
"What is it?" I demanded.
"I don't want to talk about it here. I'll tell you in the car."
The mood had been dampened and our conversation lagged. I tried to brighten things up, even telling Mom I was sorry for bringing up Dad and offering her another glass of wine. She accepted the wine and I called the waiter over to order it. She did perk up a little, and the food was great. By the time the check was delivered, Mom was a little tipsy and most of her sparkly brightness had returned. When we stood to leave she walked right up to me and gave me a lingering, romantic kiss and said, "Thank you, baby. That was a wonderful meal with my perfect man." She got up on her tiptoes and whispered in my ear, "That ought to give everyone here something to talk about when we leave," and took my arm as we strode out.
I got the car back on the highway. After a few moments of silence, I asked Mom, "What's the other half that I don't know about?" She sat staring straight ahead.
"Tell me," I demanded.
"Well, I told you how your father raped me, then called me a whore," she started. "But there's more to that story." I remained quiet and let her continue.
"After about a year of raping me and degrading me at least once a week, he started doing something else." She didn't continue.
"What did he do, Mom?" Again, silence. I repeated, "What did he do?"
"He made me sleep with other men!" she blurted out. I looked over and there was a tear streaming down her cheek. "He forced me to have sex with other men, then he called me a slut and a whore for doing it." She sobbed.
"I don't get it, Mom. How could he force you to do it?"
"I've asked myself that same question a thousand times," she answered. Again silence. After a few moments, she gathered herself up and continued.
"The first time, we were having drinks in the bar at the Sheraton. I think he had planned it all out beforehand because he asked me to get an overnight babysitter in case we were out late. He started chatting with this guy, getting all chummy with him, buying him drinks and invited him over to sit with us in our booth. You know how your father is. When he wants to, he can really turn on the charm, and he had it ramped up full steam."
"When the guy was pretty well lubricated, your dad shocked me by asking him if he'd like to have sex with me. I sat there flabbergasted. I kicked your dad under the table, but he glared at me menacingly." She paused again and I remained silent.
"The guy was all for it and was leering at me. I was so embarrassed. I got up to use the ladies' room and asked your father to come with me so I could tell him to stop. He just told me to be quick and to get right back.
"I was panicked and went to the ladies' room just to stall for time. I knew your Dad would be mad if I stayed too long so eventually I went back to the table and as soon as I sat down, your dad said he was going to the front desk to get a room for us. That left just me and this guy, Rob, alone in the booth. He slid over and put his hand on my thigh and began nuzzling my ear, telling me all the things we were going to do in the bedroom. I was frozen with fear and trembling." She was on a roll now and it was spilling out.
"When your dad got back, he told us he had gotten a suite and we should go up. Rob stood and I remained seated, but your Dad growled at me to get up. I did. We got up to the room and it was beautiful with a kitchenette, a separate bedroom and a view of the city. Your dad raided the mini bar and made us all a cocktail. After we drank for a little while, he told Rob that he should take me into the bedroom."
"Did you go?" I asked.
"Well, I didn't want to and your Dad was getting annoyed. Finally, he told Rob that I was just nervous, but that I was totally into it and forcefully walked me into the bedroom. Rob followed and your father left the room and closed the door. Then he waited outside it.
As soon as the door closed, Rob was on me. He started kissing me and grabbed my breast, squeezing it and pinching my nipple. He pulled me down on the bed and started unbuttoning my blouse. He was kissing my neck and kissed his way down to my boobs and......." She stopped. Again, I remained quiet.
"Well, anyway, I won't go into the details, but twice I went out to the main room to find your father sitting by the door of the bedroom. The first time I was naked from the waist up and I went out the door and begged your father not to make me do this. Again, he glared at me. I was afraid of him. Rob followed me out and told your Dad that if I wasn't into it, he understood. But your father told him that it was all I had talked about for a month, and that I had been begging him to let me fuck another man. I was just nervous, he said, but I'd like it once we got started. None of that was true. This was a complete surprise to me."
"We went back into the room and Rob wanted me to suck his cock. I was hesitant but he put it right up to my face and I gave it a few licks. Then he went down on me and I was shaking and really nervous, but I was shocked because it felt kind of good in spite of it." She stopped again. "Too many details, probably," she said. She did have two glasses of wine, though, and the words were pouring out. "But then he was ready to fuck me. I bolted for the door again, this time completely naked. Again, your father was sitting outside the door and growled at me to get back in the room. I'm so ashamed, but I went back into the room and laid down on the bed with my legs spread and resigned myself to getting fucked by a stranger."
"Oh, Mom. I am so sorry." I reached over and touched her tear-stained cheek. "I hate that man."
"So Rob fucked me three times that night. He was so drunk I don't know how he got up the stamina, but he was on me three times. I got up once to pee, and your Dad was gone. The last time he fucked me was about four in the morning and then he got up, got dressed, and left. I laid in the bed shaking until it got light."
"When I got out to the little kitchenette, there was a note and a fifty dollar bill by the coffee maker. The note said 'Get yourself a cab home'. I felt like a complete whore. Left alone to take a cab home in the wee hours of the morning, where my son was sleeping."
"Fuck him!" I said. "I'm gonna mess him up if I ever see him again." Mom remained silent, having spent herself on the story. Then she continued.
"Your dad wasn't home when I got there. I figured he was probably out fucking one of his whores. All day, no word. No text, no phone call. No, 'Are you okay?' I was distraught all day. After you went to bed he finally showed up, stinking of booze, unshaven, and in the same smelly clothes he had been wearing the night before. He walked in the door, grabbed me and carried me to the bedroom, where he raped me over and over while calling me a whore and a slut. I couldn't stand the touch of him."
