The Pretend Game. Play it if you dare, only be forewarned, you must always remain in character to play The Pretend Game.
"What if we play a game of pretend? For lack of a better name that's more descriptive, I call it, The Pretend Game," she said hoping he'd be more positive than he's been and would want to play a game of pretend with his mother.
She wondered how many sons would be eagerly interested in playing a sexually erotic game with their mothers and how many mothers who'd play such a game with their sons. Yet, better than playing Scrabble or Monopoly, watching Christmas movies, or listening to Christmas music, maybe because she looked at him with sexual excitement was the reason why he looked at her with as much curiosity as he did interest.
"The Pretend Game?" As if humoring her, he rolled his eyes while giving her a feigned smile.
Normally playing endless video games, his mother issued her challenge to his creativity by playing a mind game over a video game. Only now that he looked at her as if she suggested that they play a children's game, such as, 'I see something that's blue,' or a stupid game, such as Charades. He looked at her as if she was nuts.
"C'mon Jerry, it will be fun," said Janice.
"Okay, I'll bite, how do we play The Pretend Game?"
She paused as if she was thinking up the rules and, again, customizing the rules to her benefit and to this particular instance, she was.
"We must use our imaginations, of course, silly. Now close your eyes," she said while waiting for him cooperate and close his eyes.
He looked at her looking at him before beginning to play the game by closing his eyes. With his eyes closed, she had a vision of herself removing her blouse and bra and walking over to him topless to lean down to him and rub her big breasts all over his face. She wondered what he'd do if she did that. She wondered if he'd take her big breasts in his strong hands to feel and fondle her breasts before taking tits in his mouth to suck her nipples. She wondered if she'd have to do something like that to rekindle the sexual interest that he seemingly had and displayed for her on his wedding day.
"Okay, my eyes are closed. Now what?"
"Think of a person living or dead who you'd like to be with if you could right at this moment. Before you say who that person is, imagine that person in your mind. Wait until you can clearly see them naked," she said.
"Naked?" He popped open his eyes to look at his mother.
"Yes, naked. Imagining someone naked is part of The Pretend Game," she said. Now close your eyes again and imagine person who'd you'd want to see and be with naked."
"Okay," he said closing his eyes again. "Anyone?" As if he was looking at her, he moved his head in her direction with his eyes still closed.
Hoping he'd pick her and hoping that he'd imagine her naked in his mind, she wondered who he'd pick.
"Anyone. Anyone at all living or dead and/or celebrity or not," she said.
If not wanting to be with her, she couldn't wait for him to tell her who it was he'd want to be with at this moment. She just hoped that it wasn't that bitch Cynthia, anyone but her. Yet, what did it matter who it was so long as he pretended that his mother was her?
"You first," he said opening his eyes.
"That's easy," she said.
"Wait," he said. "Close your eyes first and imagine that person in your mind. Don't tell me who it is until you can clearly see the person naked."
While imagining her son naked, she closed her eyes while wishing he'd walk over to her with his cock in his hand to stick in her mouth. She wondered if she'd surprise him by taking him in her mouth to suck him while stroking him. Or maybe he'd prefer her fighting him while pulling her hair hard to force her to open her mouth to suck him. Playing the aggressor or the victim, she could easily play either of those two roles with him.
"Okay, I'm ready," she said disappointed that he didn't do something sexual to her while she was so vulnerably sitting there with her eyes closed.
Maybe if this game goes well, the next time they play this game, who's ever turn it was should play the game blindfolded, naked, and with their hands bound behind their backs. That would be fun playing a game where she was helpless to stop her son from having his wicked way with her naked body just as he'd be helpless from her having her wicked way with his naked body. Other than calling that game The Pretend Game, she'd have to call that game The Bound, Blindfolded, and Naked Game. Suddenly, instead of playing The Pretend Game, she imagined herself playing The Bound, Blindfolded, and Naked Game.
"Who? Who's the one person, dead or alive, celebrity or not, that you wished you could sexually be with if you could?"
She imagined the person she wished that she could be with but with him already dead, there wasn't any way for her to get her wish. The next best choice was being with there son, the spitting image of his father, especially when he was his age.
"You're father, of course," she said opening her eyes to look at him before confessing her true feelings. "With you looking so much like him and with you walking, talking, and acting so much like him, you've always reminded me of him. A great comfort to me after the expected, tragic loss of him, you make me feel as if he's still here with me now," she said suddenly looking so sad by the loss of her husband but excited at the same time by the return of her son.
Allowing how she felt to interrupt the game, she allowed her sadness to ruin her moment with her son before realizing that her son was here now to console her. Her son was the reason why she was playing such a sexually provocative game. Only, in the way she played the game when alone, he had no idea how sexually provocative of a game this could be, especially when a mother plays the game with her son and a son plays the game with his mother.
"From all that you've told me about him and being that you two were so close and so very much in love, that's a good choice," he said. "Yeah, I like that you picked Dad, Mom."
Never really knowing his Dad being that he was only 8-years-old when he died, seemingly, as if saying a silent prayer, he paid homage to the memory of his father by remaining silent for a long moment.
"Now you," she said. "Who would you like to be with naked if you could be with anyone in the world dead or alive?"
He didn't even have to pause before giving her his answer.
"That's an easy one for me too," he said with sadness.
"Close your eyes," she said. "Now imagine the person naked as if that person is here with us now."
"Okay, I'm ready," he said.
"Who?"
Again, she looked at him hoping that he'd say her, his mother. How hot would that be, a son who wanted to be with his naked mother over anyone dead or alive, celebrity or not, in the world? A sexual fantasy come true, she'd use that tidbit of welcome information to give her the confident encouragement to strip naked in front of her son and seduce her son later.
"I know it may sound crazy but Cynthia, of course, is who I'd choose. Only, not in the bitchy way that she is now and was all through the end of our marriage, but in the way that she was when I first met her and fell in love with her," he said.
Staring into his scotch again, he remained quiet as if he was thinking about Cynthia and how things were before they suddenly soured.
"That's a fair choice," she said.
Unable to help herself, she wondered if he had sub-consciously chosen Cynthia as his symbiotic replacement for his mother because she looked so very much like her. In essence, his safe way to have sex with his mother without actually breaking any laws against incest, her mother's intuition told her that Jerry wanted her over Cynthia. With Cynthia just a poor substitute for something and someone he obviously thought he couldn't have, here he is the prodigal son returning to her nest while she's digging her claws deeper in his skin by playing a transparent game of pretend. Yet, as the prodigal son, instead of spending his money recklessly, he spent his true emotions foolishly. When he could have had her over Cynthia, such a waste of time, energy, and effort, he chose Cynthia instead of her.
Before blurting out whatever he was thinking, he looked at his mother with reticence as if he wanted to confess something to her.
