Several people have asked me if my stories have any basis in fact. The answer is no. This story, like all my others, is pure fiction.
Read on and enjoy.
~~oOo~~
The holiday had been booked for months, long before my son and I became lovers. Andy and I both love the seaside so we had rented a chalet for a week on the Cornwall coast hoping to get lots of sun, sea and fresh air. Thus it was on a bright Saturday morning in early September that we packed our bags, loaded them into the car and set off on the 250 mile journey to our destination. Andy had agreed to drive because I hated driving in heavy holiday traffic. Fortunately the roads were not too congested and, apart from a couple of blocks at the bottlenecks, we were making good time.
Our conversation in the car was happy and relaxed and the miles just seemed to fly beneath our wheels. We had decided to stop for coffee at about half way to give Andy a break so he pulled into a service station, stopped the car and came round to open my door. I just love it when he treats me to these old-fashioned courtesies, they make me feel like a lady being courted by her beau. As the old song has it, "Little things mean a lot."
After stretching our legs, paying a visit to the toilet and drinking a cup of the mud they call coffee in those places we hit the road again. The traffic was getting more congested after we had come off the motorway so we rode along without much conversation, listening to a couple of old tapes of The Beatles and Mamas & Papas. The final few miles were stop-start all the way and poor Andy was feeling pretty wound up by the time we got to the holiday camp. I left him in the car while I sorted out the reception details and a couple of minutes later he parked in front of our chalet. We quickly unloaded the car and packed everything away. I told him to take a shower while I made us both a cup of tea.
He came out of the shower wearing just a pair of shorts and sat down, accepting the cup with a grateful, "Thanks, Mum," and after taking a couple of sips sighed, "Ah, that's better." I stood behind him and rested my hands on his shoulders: the muscles felt hard and tense so I started kneading into them, working out the kinks and tension. Andy relaxed visibly and allowed his shoulders to slump. "I'll give you just 24 hours to stop," he joked. I continued to smooth all that driving out of his neck and shoulders and watched the the fine hairs on his chest rippling in the breeze from the open door and windows. As I worked on him we talked about what we wanted to do during the next week.
"Tonight, Mum," he told me, "I don't feel like going far. If you don't mind all those steps down the cliff, we could go for a nice stroll along the beach. Sit there and watch the tide go out - or come in, whichever."
"Mmm," I agreed, "sounds like a nice way to spend the evening. Maybe we could gather some driftwood and light a small fire, roast some potoatoes in the embers." I wrapped my arms around him, idly aware of the chiselled curves of his pectorals under my palms as I ran my thumbs over his nipples. His head and neck settled back between the soft flesh of my breasts as I cradled him there.
"How about we take a couple of bottles of wine," he suggested, "and get slightly sozzled watching the sun go down and the stars come out?"
"Don't forget all those steps to climb on the way back," I warned.
"That's OK, Mum," he turned his head to look up at me and planted a gentle kiss on the upper swell of my breast, "I'll help you up!"
I held his lips to my breast for a second or two, gave him a quick hug and said, "OK, let's go down to the camp shop and pick up enough supplies for overnight. We can go to the supermarket in town tomorrow for the rest. But let me get freshened up first: you might put the cool bag in the freezer so it's ready for the wine."
I stripped to my undies in the bathroom and sponged myself down to clean off the perspiration then went next door to the bedroom and selected a shortish bleached denim skirt and sleeveless blouse. Andy was ready waiting for me when I emerged from the bedroom: we locked the chalet and had a leisurely stroll between the rows of identical chalets down to the camp shopping area. We decided have a snack in the coffee shop to tide us over as we hadn't eaten since breakfast, but the place was crammed. Andy located a table where there were a couple of spare seats and asked those already seated if they minded if we sat there.
"Help yourself," the woman smiled at us. "A bit hectic in here, isn't it?"
Seating ourselves, we agreed with her. As we were eating I looked at the other occupants. She was about my age and her companion was much younger, again about Andy's age. We struck up a conversation, as one does in these places, and learned that this was their first of two weeks at the camp, they were indeed as I had suspected mother and son. Originally her husband had planned to be with them but, at the last minute, he'd been called away on a business trip and would join them in a few days.
They were pleasant enough people and we found ourselves getting on quite well with them. Andy and John were having an animated conversation about music while Wendy and I discussed the accommodation and the prices of things in the camp shop. By an amazing coincidence, I discovered, they were in the next chalet to ours. Wendy was telling me that they were going to the camp club that evening, apparently there was very good comedian on. "Why don't you and Andy join us, Sarah?" she suggested.
I touched Andy's arm to get his attention and told him of the invitation. He thought about it for a couple of seconds then sighed, "I don't think I could face a stuffy club tonight, Mum. Sounds like a great idea, but not tonight."
I was relieved to hear that: I was looking forward to a romantic evening alone with him. I liked Wendy and the boys seemed to get on well together so we all agreed to spend tomorrow evening at the club.
Andy and I went into the camp shop and picked up the groceries we needed then went round to the drinks section. The selection of wine available was poor but we finally settled on a couple of bottles of Californian white. Andy read the label and quipped, "Hey, Mum, they're describing you on the label." He pointed to the line which said, 'light and fruity with a natural sparkle.' "Except for the light part!" I couldn't help but chuckle as I clipped him gently round the head.
We paid for our purchases then walked slowly round the camp, in no hurry and taking the long way back to the chalet. When we got there we packed the wine and butter in the coolbag. I threw a beach sheet, a knife, a couple of forks, paper plates, plastic cups, salt, an old newspaper for the fire and a sweater for each of us into a rucksack and we set off on our adventure. It was a couple of hundred yards to the cliff top, we negotiated the steps down to the beach and struggled over the soft stuff to the hard-packed sand near the water's edge. It was easier walking there so we linked hands and strolled along with the sun on our backs casting long shadows before us, allowing the cool waters to lap over our sandals as the small waves ran up the shallow beach.
About a mile along the beach we noticed the cliff sticking out a little. My son pointed out that it would be a good place to 'set up camp' in the shelter and as we rounded the headland we saw that it was perfect, sheltering us from the breezes which would come off the land as it grew darker. Wedged up against the cliff, driven there by some long-forgotten storm, was the remnants of a large tree, grey and weathered - a perfect backrest. Andy placed the coolbag in the shade - not that there was much heat in the sun now - and announced that he'd collect a supply of driftwood for the fire. He set off wandering along the beach above the high-tide mark, gathering in wood as he went.
