Mom's Dilemma
John's jaw dropped when his mother, Lori, walked into the room. She was an absolute vision. Her red hair, make-up, and gorgeous legs were perfect. The kicker was the short black dress she wore. It was low cut, form fitting, surprisingly short, and screamed fuck me. John also noticed that his mother was making an extra effort not to look at him.
"Wow! If I didn't know better, I'd think you've got a date tonight," he said.
Lori didn't reply and looked down at the floor with a guilty look on her face.
"Mom, are you cheating on dad?" he asked seriously.
She covered her face with her hands as she began sobbing, then turned and ran back to her bedroom.
'
Holy shit,'
he thought. '
She is.
' John was shocked. Never in a million years would he have suspected anything like this. As far as he knew his parents' marriage was rock solid. He thought they were devoted to each other. He sat staring at the television. No longer watching the show, his mind just in a fog of disbelief.
Lori walked through the living room about fifteen minutes later, now barefoot and wearing her long fuzzy robe. She had removed her makeup, and her eyes were still red from crying. She walked past him to the kitchen and returned a moment later with two glasses of wine.
"We need to talk," she said, handing him a glass then sitting next to him on the sofa.
"Okay."
"I've never cheated on your father."
"From your reaction to what I said...," John began.
"I know. Yes, I was about to," she admitted.
Her son didn't reply as he took a sip of his drink.
"Will you give me a chance to explain?" she asked.
"It's between you and dad. You don't need to explain anything to me. If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, I don't want to know about it. I'll pack my stuff and be out of here by morning."
"I don't. Let me explain, please?" she pleaded.
"Go ahead."
"I'm sure you noticed the recent tension between your father and me."
"I did, but it seemed like everything was back to normal before his deployment."
"It was. About a year ago, my libido bottomed out. I had no drive or interest in intimacy. Your father still did," his mother said.
"Dad cheated?" John asked.
"No. At first he was patient with me, but when it didn't improve, we started arguing and pulling away from each other. We finally agreed that something needed to be done before we ruined our marriage. We still love each other, and neither of us wanted that. I made an appointment with my GYN. Your father came with me. The three of us talked about the problem. She did an exam and some blood work. My hormones showed that I was in early menopause. Do you know what that is?"
"The change. I didn't realize it affected libido. I thought it was more about fertility," John replied.
"It can change the drive in some women, both to increase or decrease. She started me on some medication to balance things out but said it would take time. She also referred us to a marriage counselor."
"So, the medicine worked?"
"It took about a month, but yes, it worked. The marriage counselor recommended lots of things. One, in particular, seemed a bit farfetched to me. After talking it over with your father, we decided to try it. Between that and the medicine, I have a libido that's way beyond anything I've ever experienced. With Rick being away, I'm losing my mind. Sex is the only damn thing I can think about."
"What was it the counselor recommended?" her son asked.
Lori blushed before answering. "A clit piercing. Every time I move, it rubs me. It's like being fingered all day long."
"If it's driving you nuts, take it out," her son recommended.
"Your father likes it. I spoke with my doctor, and she thinks the hormones should balance out within a few months and I'll get my normal libido back. Your father and I agreed to leave the piercing in."
"But if it's going to drive you to cheat, it's not a good thing."
"No, it isn't. Your father suggested that I come up with a solution but doesn't want to know the specifics."
"So, he gave you the okay to cheat?"
"That idea was never, specifically, brought up. It was implied."
"Was tonight a kind of last resort?" her son asked.
"Pretty much. I've tried everything else."
"Such as?" John asked.
Lori blushed again, but replied, "Toys, fingers...you name it, I've tried it. Nothing worked."
"Before dad deployed, did having sex work?"
"Yes, but twelve hours later I was needy again," she said.
"So, if it only helped for twelve hours, how was hooking up tonight going to help?"
"I'm desperate. I don't know what else to do. If I stop the hormones I go back to being frigid. If I remove the piercing, I disappoint your father. I've got about six to eight more weeks until everything is supposed to balance out again. If I can't figure something out, I'm going to lose my mind," she said tearing.
Her son sat quietly thinking for a moment, then picked up their wine glasses and refilled them. He sat, once again, on the sofa with her as the wheels turned in his head.
"I have an idea, but I don't think it's what you're hoping for," he told her.
"John, I'm desperate. What is it?"
"Me," he replied.
"You, what?"
"I can give you what you need while dad's gone."
Lori's brow raised. "We can't do that."
"Why not?"
"You're my son. It's incest."
"I'm not suggesting we make a baby. I'm here and have the right parts to satisfy your needs as often as you want. I'm clean, so you aren't running the risk of catching something. And there's essentially no risk of getting caught," her son assured her.
"But it's incest. It's against the law."
"So is speeding," he countered.
"Incest is different."
"Is it? Two consenting adults sharing love. If I was a minor, or one of us was being forced, I'd agree it's inappropriate. We're adults. You have a medical problem that I can help with. I'd give you blood or a kidney if you needed it. I love you, mom."
"That's different. Incest crosses a line that you can't uncross."
"At least think about it," he suggested.
Lori downed the rest of her wine then looked at her son. "I'll think about it," she said, then refilled her glass before going to her room.
John had often fantasized about his mother but had never actually considered the possibility of really having sex with her. Their discussion this evening had gotten him aroused. She hadn't refused his offer and had actually agreed to think about it. His reasoning had been sound. It would offer her at least a temporary fix while his father was away, and it would also let him fulfill his greatest fantasy.
He finished his wine then went to his room to relieve his throbbing erection before going to bed. Even after jerking off in the shower his arousal remained. He finally did it a second time before falling asleep.
Lori was going through the same problem, except for now, her son was at the forefront of her fantasy as she relieved herself.
*****
When John walked into the kitchen on Saturday morning, his mother, still in her robe, sat at the table drinking her coffee and browsing the internet on her laptop.
"Good morning," he said as he passed.
"Good morning," his mother replied.
John poured himself a glass of orange juice, fixed a bowl of cereal, and sat across from her at the small table. After several minutes, she closed the laptop and looked up at him.
"Were you serious about your offer?" she asked.
"Completely serious."
"John, I wouldn't want anything to interfere with our mother/son relationship."
"I wouldn't either. If anything, I think it would strengthen it," he replied.
She was quiet for a moment before speaking again.
"I've done some checking online. Apparently, incest is more common than I realized. If done between consenting adults, the main issue is with offspring. Since my tubes were tied after you were born, that's not a concern. It could provide a solution to my libido issue. Obviously, it's safer than my original plan. As long as word of it never leaves the house, there's no issue with the legality of it."
"So, you're agreeing?" he asked.
"I just don't want it to interfere with what we have. I'm still your mother and I don't want that to change."
"Mom, I'm not suggesting that I replace dad. I don't want that. All I'm suggesting is that I fill in for him until he either returns or your issue resolves; nothing more."
"I understand that. I love your father. If we do this, you can never tell him. Or anyone else for that matter."
"I know," her son replied.
They both sat quietly for several minutes before John got up and put his dishes in the dishwasher, then returned to his seat.
"I don't like degrading talk or brutality," his mother said.
"Okay."
"No means no."
"Agreed," he replied.
"I think, before committing to anything more formal, we should see how it goes. If either of us is uncomfortable we can call it off."
John's cock was about ready to burst through his pants.
