Claire waited in her car in the parking lot across the street from Eastern DeSoto State Prison. A few minutes after noon, Noah stepped through the steel door of the release center. By the time he'd walked the long concrete path out to the high chain mesh fence enclosing the compound, she'd pulled the car around to the curb in front of the remotely operated gate. Her son stepped out onto the sidewalk and was free.
He slid quietly into the passenger seat of the Lexus. Claire hugged him fiercely. "Sweetheart! Welcome back." It took Noah several seconds to awkwardly return the embrace. His shoulders and back were knotted with tension. After a very long time, she released him. "Let me look at you, dear."
The loose, oversized carpenter's jeans and fleece sweatshirt that he'd been issued for release didn't disguise the pounds of new muscle that Noah had added during his thirteen months of incarceration. His dark hair was clipped very short and that, combined with his overall leanness and sallow complexion, aged him five years. His manner was, unsurprisingly, more deliberate and guarded. Claire had seen him change, little by little, during their infrequently permitted visits and calls but it had not prepared her for his aloofness now that he was free and they were together again.
Did you really think he'd just snap back to being a kid?
She reproached herself.
Yet it was Noah who said "You've sure changed. I almost didn't recognize you." Claire felt herself color under his frank, appraising stare. She'd dressed to meet him as she always dressed these days, with the intent to attract. As an ensemble, her burgundy suit and black stiletto pumps were professional enough, if perhaps a little stylish for the courtroom. But, minus the blazer that she'd tossed into the back seat while waiting in the car, the focus was on the pencil skirt that hugged her hips and long legs and on the slim striped top that emphasized her girlish waist and enhanced breasts.
"A lot's changed for all of us. I have my own place in the North Hills now. That's where we're going." Noah's eyebrows shot up. Claire chattered on nervously. "You hungry? We can stop off in Little Hanoi for street food or something when we're back in Carlyle. Inbound traffic shouldn't be bad this time of day."
"No, I'm good. Pretty swank address, isn't it? I knew you and Dad split."
"Yes." They drove on in silence for a while. Against her better judgment but unable to help herself, Claire finally broke the silence again. "What was...was it awful?"
"What do you think?"
"I only meant..."
"Like, did I pick a fight with the biggest guy there on my first day? Did I drop the soap--?"
"Please..."
Noah looked away out the window, staring at the river rolling far below them as they crossed the Steigen Bridge. "County was the worst part. Desoto sucked, but mostly not like shit on TV. You just, like...you know the bosses could really do anything to you. Anything. But mostly nothing happens. And after a while, that's almost worse. Like it won't ever end."
Noah turned back to his mother. "You know what's stupid? I made friends."
"That's not stupid."
"I feel guilty that I'm out and they're not. Their moms aren't fancy lawyers."
Claire couldn't hide her hurt. Noah looked ashamed. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't thank you. For fighting for me."
"I'm your mother."
"Uh...yeah." In the long silence that followed, even with her attention focused on the chaos of afternoon city traffic, Claire felt her son's gaze on her body.
She liked it.
††â€
"This really is a cool place." It was the first spark of enthusiasm Claire had heard in Noah's voice all day. He sipped his beer and looked down through the glass wall of her apartment at City Lake twenty stories below. Fed, showered, and dressed in new pajamas and a robe, he seemed to be slowly uncoiling and letting himself believe that there would be no knock at the door, no late discovery of a mistake or some overlooked statute that empowered strangers to chain him and drag him away again.
When she'd first seen him at the prison gate she'd been afraid that the clothing she'd bought would turn out to be too small for him now, but he looked comfortable and at home in them. She hugged him from behind, resting her head on his shoulder and slipping her hands into the pockets of his robe to hold him close.
"I'm glad you like it. I didn't want you to have to go back to that house. I wanted a break from the past. For both of us."
Noah looked questioningly in the direction of the single bedroom but said nothing.
"I need a shower myself." She stood on tiptoes to kiss the nape of his neck and then left him to admire the twilit cityscape alone.
Alone in the bathroom, Claire stripped and stepped into the double shower stall. Smiling to herself, she turned one of the overhead sprays up high, stepped under it...and waited.
After little more than a minute, the glass door swung open and Noah stepped into the stall naked.
"Well...I do like a client who can follow my lead." She offered her son the body wash. "Lather me up?"
He was on her before she could move, trapping her between his body and the gray slate tile wall. She struggled against him, fearing for an awful instant that she'd made a mistake. Then he kissed her tenderly, his right hand sliding gently down the side of her rib cage and around her waist to draw her closer.
"This is what you want?" He hesitated.
"Guess it'd be really awkward right now if I said 'No.'" Claire laughed and embraced her son, thrusting her tongue deep into his mouth and grinding her mound against his erect cock. His hard stomach and chest pressed her soft flesh. "You're a big guy now." Her pulse pounded in her ears as she closed her fingers around his prick. "In every way."
Claire dropped to crouch on the balls of her feet before Noah. The shower rained down on them, coursing over her shoulders and back and washing down his belly to stream off of his balls. She ran the fingertips of both hands up and down his cock, admiring the upward curving girth of the veined shaft and the sculpted curves of the helmet-like head. Her juices flowed in anticipation of having it invade her depths. So young and strong and virile, she marveled, looking up at her son's handsome, roguish face.
Such a gorgeous cock. A perfect pussy-pleaser, and he's mine. He's all mine.
Noah curled his fingers through her long, wet hair, and pulled her head toward him. Her face smashed against his belly. "Suck me off." His gravelly voice was emphatic but held no menace. Claire placed her hands against his thighs, drew back, and touched her lips to the tip of his prick. She sucked a few tasty drops of pre-cum from his weeping cock-slit. Then she opened her mouth wide and swallowed his cock crown. She moved her tongue back and forth inside her mouth to massage the sensitive underside of his prick. Pushing her head forward, she held her breath and relaxed her throat to accept more and more of his cock-shaft. When he was halfway inside she stopped and sucked hard for several seconds. Then she pulled back to let him slip from her mouth and took a few gasping breaths.
"Fuck, yeah," Noah muttered. "Damn, Mom, you suck cock like a real whore."
"Because I am a whore. Who but a complete whore would suck and fuck her own son?" Claire wrinkled her nose and smirked at Noah, enjoying his reaction; if he was hoping to shock her in some way, he was in for a lot of surprises. "I hope you're not too ashamed of your mother."
His only answer was to place his hands on her shoulders to hold her steady while shoving his cock into her mouth again. Claire grabbed hold of his buttocks and bobbed her head back and forth, taking a little more of him into her throat on every stroke. Not long ago, she'd have been unsure that she could deep throat a cock as big as Noah's. After her adventures with the Demons, she had no such doubts. She had learned that her body was a sexual instrument, built for fucking and finely tuned to give and receive carnal pleasure. She supposed that there must be some limit to her capacity for cock, but if so then she looked forward to finding and challenging it.
It was only right, Claire reasoned, that she should share her womanly gifts with those whom she loved most. She meant to make every one of her sex holes available to Noah tonight and from this day forward.
