Adam was the apple of his mom's eye. He had turned nineteen a few months ago, and was a fine young man. He was always very close to his mom, and sided with her much more than with his father. His mom, Beverly, was always willing to try something new, and was a fun person to be around. His father, Neil, was a true stick in the mud, always on the grumpy side, and a real bore.
Beverly was soon to be forty, and although she looked, and acted much younger, she wanted to try a new look. Neil was less than happy to hear this. He was very content with things the way they were. Why change something that works? Adam was all for his mom having some fun with whatever she wanted to do.
Beverly left the house early on Saturday, and came home just before dark. She stood before Adam and her husband, doing a slow turn around so they could get the full effect of her makeover. Instead of her light brown hair, she had a deep red head. Her hair was shiny, and well styled, and she had on a very short black skirt, with a tight, white knit top, showing her slender leg's, and firm tit's, making her look very sexy.
Neil was upset that she looked like a tramp. He wanted her to wash it out or something. "I don't want my friends to see you like this Beverly, you look cheap."
Adam was captivated with his mom's new look. "Mom you're beautiful, wow!" Adam found himself getting aroused.
His mom and dad just kept up with the arguing. Finally his mom had enough. "Like it or not Neil, I'm keeping my hair red, and if you really don't like my new clothes, I'll take them off and walk around naked. Would you like that Neil would you?
Neil knew when he was beat, and it was better for him to shut up. Neil sat down and acted like he was reading the paper. The battle was over for now. Beverly picked up the packages that contained several new outfits she had picked out. She was going to show her husband all the new things, but decided it was a waste of time.
Adam helped his mother with the parcels, following her up the stairs, and into her bedroom. As Adam put the packages on the bed, he told his mom that he was eager to see all the new clothes. Beverly turned to face him, and planted a big kiss on his cheek.
"Thank you honey, you always say the right things. I wish your father had your thoughtfulness. I'll show them some other time honey; I just want a long hot bath now."
Adam left his mom, and headed back downstairs, sitting near his dad. Neil was still reading the newspaper and didn't pay much attention to anything else. Adam thought about how his father never paid much attention to him or his mom. Adam was thinking his mom was trying to get over this turning forty years old thing, with a little flair. Adam knew his mom liked compliments; in fact Adam knew most of his mom's, buttons, and which to push when he wanted his way.
Several days went by before Beverly got into her new clothes mood again. Neil was working, but Adam was home, and anyway, he always did appreciate her attention to him. She went through her new inventory looking for the right look. Pulling out a white hot pants bottom, and a white stretchy top, she tried them on. NO, no, no, you can't wear panties and a bra with these, she though to herself. She removed her bra and panties, putting on the tight fitting outfit. "There, no panty line, no bra outline showing." However she did notice her nipples were well outlined, as well as her puffy little mound.
Adam was sitting on the couch when his mom came downstairs. With a double take Adam saw the unmistakable outlines on his mom, causing him to be highly aroused. Adam let out a wolf whistle, to his mom's delight. Beverly made an entrance into the living room, fooling around, like a model. Adam clapped his hands, saying, perfect, beautiful, hot. Beverly was laughing at his enthusiastic comments.
As Beverly did a small curtsy to Adam, she noticed the obvious bulge in his pants.
"I wish I could get that kind of reaction from your father."
Adam felt his face turning red. Adam tried to shift around to cover his growing erection. "Dad would have to be crazy not to be effected by you, mom. In fact any man that didn't feel something has to be crazy or dead."
Beverly laughed. "I thank you for the sweet words honey, but I'm not quite sure you're right."
Beverly's birthday came, and went, with just a small dinner at the local steak house. Adam noticed his mom and dad were not on the best of terms. In fact, his father was paying even less attention to his mom than ever before, he even moved into the guest room. His mom was still standing her ground about her new looks, and was getting compliments from a lot of people. His mom was going to do what ever she wanted, and the sooner his dad understood this the better it would be for all. Dinners were so quiet, that Adam didn't want to eat with his parents, telling them he would get a burger with his friends later on.
Beverly noticed that Adam was a little down, and wanted to bring his spirits up. "Adam honey, what's the big problem you've got? I know you're in a funk about something."
"Mom, I hate to see you and dad acting like this. I get angry about you two arguing over nothing."
"Honey, do you think I should go back to my old look?"
"No mom."
"Adam, your father and I... aren't as close as you think we are."
"What do you mean, mom?"
"Honey, you're nineteen years old, I don't want to upset you, but...I think you're mature enough to understand. You're dad and I have been drifting apart for some time. I tried to heat up the fire by getting a new look, hoping to attract his attention. Nothing seems to work on him. In fact, he seems to grow even colder towards me."
"Mom...I can't believe you don't turn dad on. Damn, you're hot enough for any man."
"Adam, I haven't had sex with your father...or any man, for over two months. If your father doesn't change soon I'll go crazy...or worst."
Adam stood up and gave his mom a hug, pulling her close and being rewarded with that sexy red hair against his face. He was eagerly hugged by his mother's tender embrace, her firm breasts pressing into his chest, the fragrance of her hair, the softness of her skin, all this fire, and sex for the asking, his father must be crazy.
"Mom, if I can help in any way, I will, honest."
"Thanks honey. I'll keep that in mind."
Adam didn't notice any change in his father in the following days. He did notice that his father was more involved at work. Adam's mom on the other hand, was changing. Beverly wore her bra and panties less, and less often. Her blouse was often opened enough that a full breast could be glimpsed. Sometimes Beverly would brush a breast against her husband's cheek, only to be ignored. Adam didn't miss these subtle moves, he envied his father for them, but he also was appalled at his father's reactions. Didn't his father know what he was loosing out on?
Adam felt he had to talk to his father, before it got any worse.
"Dad, can we talk?"
"Yes son, what's on your mind?"
Adam told how he was upset about the way his parents were acting. He told about the way his mom wanted the love from his father, the love that she should not have to beg for. He told of his disgust for the treatment his father had been giving his mother for the last several months. Finally he told of his love for them both, offering any help he could give to keep them together, like the old days.
His father was staring deep into Adam's eyes, searching for the right words, but finding only more questions.
"Son...try to understand. Your mom and I don't have as much in common anymore. We stayed together until you got out of school. Truth is, I don't have the...stamina to please your mom, hell, I don't think anyone can keep up with her. I haven't told your mom yet, but I've accepted an offer to train new staff in another city. I will be gone for at least a year. Your mom will get enough money to live reasonably well on, the house is all paid for, and the car is paid off. I'll think over the situation while I'm gone, and maybe your mom and I will come up with a solution. Sorry son, that's the best I can offer."
Later that day Adam heard his parents talking. He knew his dad was telling her about his leaving. Adam could only make out a word here and there. Words like, useless, have fun, I don't care, feel free, all coming from a closed door to his mothers bedroom. Adam went to bed early. As he lay in bed, not being able to sleep, he thought of what the future might hold. His mom would need support, and Adam felt it his duty to give his mother any, and all, the help he could. Adam made a silent promise to himself that he would keep his mom's spirits up, no matter what.
