I don't always know how to start these things off. I guess telling you about me would be the best thing. My name is Alex, I'm 24 years old and I'm a computer science graduate. I live in London where I work for a big tech firm as a programmer. But none of that is really relevant, because you're here to find out about my sexual relationship with my mum, aren't you?
For the longest time it was just me and my mum against the world. My dad had come out as gay when I was 8 and moved in with his boyfriend shortly afterwards. I was an only child so it was really only me and mum. I was there whenever anything happened. She'd meet a new guy, it would start out well but then they'd inevitably break up and it would break her heart. I was always the shoulder to cry on, her best friend and her confidante. Mum shared everything with me, within reason, and I did the same with her. As I grew older I became fiercely protective of her and tried my best to make sure she was always happy, just like good sons do.
By the time I was 15, mum had not long turned 40 and something changed in her. She kind of gave up. She stopped going to the gym, cared less and less about her appearance, she became quite depressed. She'd had no luck with men since Dad left and I think that realisation of being 40 and single was just the final straw. She gave up and succumbed to a life destined to be single. If I'm honest, it broke my heart but there was nothing I could do to help her. After all, as her son I could do a lot to make her happy, but I couldn't fill that void that only a lover could.
When I was 18 I managed to secure a place at a great university but it would mean leaving home to live in student accommodation. Mum naturally encouraged me to go but I could see in her eyes that she didn't want me to. I tried my best to convince her I was happy to stay at home but she was having none of it. So I went off to start my university life of studying, drinking, partying and (on the rare occasions) hooking up with other students. To be honest, I'd never had so much fun in my life.
Mum and I would talk on the phone nearly every day, I still kept in very close contact with her as best I could. She was so proud of me that I was living my dream and getting excellent grades. I could still hear an inherent sadness in her voice though. She missed me and if I'm honest, I really missed her too. As the first semester ended just before Christmas and I had a generous four week break, I'd made arrangements to come home for the holidays. Mum was beside herself with excitement to see me.
On that cold December day I drove my little car up to the house, grabbed my bags and let myself in.
"Mum?" I called out, "are you in?"
"Alex!" she called down from upstairs, "I'll be right down."
I went into the kitchen and put the kettle on, the heater was broken in my car so I was frozen to the bone. I heard mum coming down the stairs but I really wasn't prepared for the sight to befall me. She had put on so much weight, easily 40lbs while I was away. She was dressed in sweats, her hair was a mess and there was not a hint of the makeup she used to wear daily. She threw her arms open and beckoned me over.
"Oh, I've missed you so much, sweetie, give your mum a big hug."
"I've missed you too, mum," I said hugging her tightly. I decided not to say anything as I didn't want to upset her.
We spent hours catching up with each other. I told her of the girls I'd been seeing, the classes I was taking and essentially regaling her with the fun life I was leading. Mum seemed happy and sad at the same time, I could tell she wanted fun in her life. Since I'd left all she really did was go to work, watch TV then sleep on a daily basis. I felt so bad for her.
A few days into my stay, mum had gone out shopping and I was feeling particularly bored. Mum lived in a small village and there was not much to do. I could have jumped in the car and driven somewhere, but the idea of being in that freezing metal box wasn't particularly appetising. I sat myself on the sofa, made myself comfortable and opened my laptop. I had thought of doing some Uni work, but who was I kidding, I was going to look at porn. It didn't take me long, but I found a video of a buxom MILF taking two cocks at the same time and it was certainly doing the trick. I was hard in seconds. I unbuttoned my jeans, slid off my boxers, took off my t-shirt and grabbed some tissues from under the coffee table.
Before long I was at full mast and quite happily jerking myself off. I had my headphones on with the video audio loud, so I didn't hear the car pull up in the driveway. The first I knew that mum was home was when she clipped me on the back of the head (the door to the living room was behind the sofa, so I'd have never seen her coming). I freaked out, slammed the laptop shut and tried my best to cover my erection from her.
"Oh god Mum, I'm so sorry," I blurted out.
"Porn? In my living room?" She sounded hurt, "how could you, Alex?"
"I'm so sorry, I didn't realise you'd be home so soon..."
"And you think that makes it okay?" she said, cutting me off, "it's okay to jerk off on my sofa because you're home alone?"
"Iā err--"
"No, you don't speak now," she said with full fire in her voice, "and what on earth were you watching? That woman must have been as old as me, if not older!"
Before I could hazard an answer, she clipped me again, "get out of my sight, I don't want to see you until dinner time!"
I sloped off upstairs, feeling very ashamed of myself.
Dinnertime came and I came downstairs, expecting another verbal dressing down, but nothing came, she talked to me as if nothing had happened. The same happened the next day, and the day after that, in fact the entire time I was home not a word was mentioned about the incident. I kept waiting to be yelled at, or told that I was a disappointment, but nothing came of it. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I of course said nothing but when I left back for Uni in the January, still nothing had been said and I was slightly puzzled by it.
Fast forward a few months and the second semester had finished. I had called mum to arrange to come home for the two week break but she said she wasn't going to be home, that she'd booked a holiday with one of her girlfriends and she was going to Turkey for the two weeks I would be home. As the spring had come, she'd been sounding more and more chipper and more like her old self again. She hadn't told me why, but she just seemed to be happier. So off she went on holiday and I hung around the student accommodation on my own for two weeks. It wasn't all bad, after all not having flatmates around means you can pretty much do as you please.
Before I knew it, it was June and my first year of uni was over. I'd aced my exams and coursework and passed the first year with a First Class Honours. When I'd told mum about this she was ecstatic with happiness, I could hear her bursting with pride down the phone. Months had passed since her holiday and she was still sounding happier and happier with each passing day. I suspected she must have gotten a boyfriend or something, but I wasn't going to argue. Mum being happy made me happy.
After two days of packing and an 8 hour drive, I finally reached home for a long, 12 week summer holiday and I was planning on making the most of it. I'd been really stressed for the last semester, working hard to get my work completed and handed in as well as holding a part time bar job in the student union to just keep the money trickling in.
After dumping the majority of my bags in the garage for sorting out later, I walked into the house and was immediately hit by the aroma of my favourite meal, my mum's home-made shepherd's pie. She was such a good cook and after weeks of living on cheap ham and ramen noodles, I was ready for a good hearty meal.
"Hey mum!" I yelled out, "I'm home!"
"Just in time, sweetie," she yelled back from upstairs, "dinner's on the table, I'll be right down, get stuck in"
She didn't have to tell me twice. I dumped my last remaining bag, went straight for the dining table and started serving dinner. I sat down and commenced shovelling as if I'd not eaten in a year. I heard mum coming down the stairs and I remembered the shock I had at Christmas and prepared myself for the worst. I still wasn't prepared for what walked in the door though.
Mum had completely transformed. At Christmas she was overweight, looking rough and nothing like my mum, but when she walked through the door I couldn't believe my eyes. Gone was the weight, she'd slimmed right down, in fact she was slimmer than I ever remember her being. She was wearing a tight black dress that hugged her figure so tightly I could see her toned abdominal muscles and belly button. Taking in the rest of her new body, her legs seemed long and shapely, probably due to the expensive looking platform heels she was wearing. I moved my eyes back up and I noticed that her chest was bigger than I'd ever remembered, did she have implants?
Carrying on looking up, her collarbone was now perfectly defined, her double chin had gone and I could see her soft jawline. She was wearing makeup again and her hair was long, straight and blonde! She'd never been blonde in all the time I'd been alive.
"Judging by the fact that your mouth is hanging open, I'd say you approve?" She said with a cheeky smile. I quickly closed my mouth and swallowed the mouthful of food I had.
"Wha-?" I tried to say, but failed, "Mum? You... you look incredible!"
"Thanks sweetie," she said, beaming a wide smile at me as she sat down, crossing her legs. I could see right up her thigh from where I was sitting.
"When did you do all this?" I said, not even bothering to hide the surprise in my voice,
"Well, since you went back to Uni in Janurary,"
"You didn't say anything,"
"Well, without being funny, but it wasn't any of your business." She poured us a glass of wine each and started her meal,
"What spurred this on?" I asked, pressing the issue slightly,
"Do you really want to know?" she asked, raising an eyebrow,
"Yes," I replied slightly too eagerly, "You look so good, I just can't believe the difference in you."
"Well, do you remember when I caught you watching porn?" she said. The words alone caused an instant knot in my stomach, remembering the embarrassment of it,
"Err... yes."
"Well, after you ran away upstairs I reopened your laptop and I watched some of the video. I don't blame you for enjoying it, it was very hot," she said in a very matter-of-fact way, "and it dawned on me, I'm not getting any younger and this woman in the video must be my age and she has men around the world drooling over her."
I stayed silent, not really sure where the story was going.
"So I joined a gym," she continued, "I started running, doing weights and cardio. Then my friend Anna recommended me the place where she had some work done and I went in for a consultation."
