My mother was only eighteen when she gave birth to me, and we have always been close, especially as I am an only child, and my father died when I was fourteen, leaving us to comfort and support one-another. Although there was never anything incestuous between us, we were able to talk to each other in a more intimate way then most mothers and sons, as well as sharing lots of hugs and cuddles.
By the time I reached nineteen I was studying at the local college, and starting to go out with girls, sometimes bringing them home to meet my mother. My mother, who was fair-haired and full-figured and still very attractive, was always hospitable, and pleased for me, even when, privately, she did not think the girl I was with was right for me, as was the case with Sadie.
Sadie was very beautiful and very self-consciously sexy. She dressed to impress: short skirts, tight blouses, stocking and suspenders: she knew she could make men lust after her, and enjoyed the power she had over them. For some reason she took a liking to me, and we began a torrid relationship: for the first time in my life I was having regular sex: the sound of us mating in my bedroom must have caused my mother a lot of grief, for Sadie was totally uninhibited, screamed her head off when she came, and couldn't care less who was listening. But my mother never said anything, respecting my choice of girlfriend, even though she must have seen the crash coming.
The crash came because Sadie was temperamentally incapable of staying monogamous for long, and always had one eye on the main chance. When one of the Tutors propositioned her she saw an opportunity to climb the status ladder, and dropped me with as little regret as she might have discarded an old pair of knickers.
To say I was gutted is an understatement. I was totally in love and in lust with Sadie, and without her my life felt completely empty. For days, then weeks, I wandered around like a ghost of myself, and nothing my friends or my mother could say would console me.
I couldn't eat and I couldn't sleep. I certainly couldn't bring myself to look for another girl. And having enjoyed such exciting sex with Sadie I could barely bring myself to revert to masturbating. Sometimes I'd toy with myself half-heartedly until I fell asleep, but even on the rare occasions I brought myself off, I felt more lonely and frustrated than ever afterwards.
One evening I went to a party, and of all the people I did not want to see, there was Sadie, looking sexier than ever, draped around her Tutor-lover. I came home early, took myself off to bed, and cried into my pillow.
I must have been crying for several minutes when the door opened, and my mother came in, wearing her dressing down.
"I'm sorry to intrude," she said, "but I just couldn't bear to listen to you suffering. Has something happened?"
I told her about the party. She sat down on the edge of the bed, and said:
"Shall we have a cuddle?"
We'd often had cuddles on the sofa before, so I shifted to the edge of the bed and she slipped off her dressing gown and slid in beside me.
"Come here," she said. So I turned to her and we hugged each other. We'd never been coy about wandering around the house in a state of undress, so it didn't bother me that I wasn't wearing any clothes and that she was only wearing a flimsy night-dress. I cried again, laying my head on her fulsome breasts as she stroked the back of my head, until the comforting maternal warmth of her body started to sooth me.
"Are you feeling better now?" my mother asked.
"Yes," I said. "Thank you."
I was feeling more at peace emotionally: but at the same time I began to be aware that I was starting to get an erection. Quickly I pulled away.
"What's the matter?" asked my mother.
"Nothing," I said.
"Come here then," said my mother, and she wriggled close to me again and held me tightly. Again my erection beat up against the soft warmth of her stomach.
"Sorry mum," I said: and I would have pulled away, but my bed was only a single and I was already backed-up against the wall at the far side.
"Don't be silly," said my mother. "There's no need to apologise."
We lay for a moment, still and quiet; I tried to will my erection to go away, but the combination of my mother's warmth and the length of time since I'd had any sexual release made this impossible.
"Oh God," as my penis seemed to take on a life of its own, pressing firmly and needily against my mother's warm body.
"How long is it since you had any relief?" my mother asked me.
"I don't know," I said, a bit embarrassed. "A long time. I just don't have the heart any more."
"No wonder you're in such a state," she said. "You won't start to feel better whilst you're all frustrated."
"I know," I said. "But it's not the same β you know β doing it yourself."
My mother went silent for a moment: in the dim light I could just make out her face, and the way she was worrying her lips against each other thoughtfully. Finally she took a deep breath, and I felt her hand reach down under the bedclothes and take a grip on my penis.
"Mother!" I exclaimed.
"Sshh," said my mother. "Just lie still and don't say anything."
"Oh my God," I said under my breath. I was paralysed: I couldn't, I wouldn't, let my mother bring me off. Yet my penis had other ideas: so strong and urgent was my erection that despite all my intentions I just could not pull it away from the warmth of my mother's hand.
Slowly, gently, my mother began to work her hand up and down my shaft.
"Oh, no, no no," I said under my breath. But all the time I was getting harder, until I could do nothing but give myself up to the sensations, building me up to the point of no return. I gasped and groaned and savoured the last few tugs before I could hold out no longer: with my mother stroking me firmly and rhythmically I started to shoot all my pent up sperm, fiercely, ecstatically, the wet milky substance shooting everywhere, over my stomach, over the bedclothes, over my mother's hand, her nightie and her body.
When I was spent I lay there groaning, the tension draining out of me, until I fell silent. Still my mother's hand was closed around my limp little penis.
"I think somebody needed that," she said softly, into my ear.
