Two-of-a-kind, a match made in Hell, a disgraced father hits if off with his son's promiscuous, MILF of a whore mother-in-law.
Author's note:
Even though the main characters in the story, Michael and Elizabeth, are not related by blood, as his son's mother-in-law and her daughter's father-in-law, their sexual relationship is indeed, deemed incestuous. Sex between them may not be deemed incest but it is definitely deemed sexually inappropriate, taboo, and forbidden. One would have to be sexually depraved to have sex with his deceased son's mother-in-law, just as one would have to be a whore to have sex with her deceased daughter's father-in-law.
Seemingly, with neither Elizabeth nor Michael embarrassed or ashamed by their outrageous sexual behaviors, out of my control, all I can do as a writer is to offer this up for your judgmental conjecture and personal entertainment. Michael has incestuous sex with his son's mother-in-law while Elizabeth has forbidden sex with her daughter's father-in-law. Two peas in a pod, it turns out that both parents are promiscuous and a horny libido in common. As much as Elizabeth is a whore, Michael is a player.

My Son's MILF of a Mother-in-law
My son, Michael, Jr., and his newly wedded wife, Jennifer, tragically died in a car accident on their Honeymoon in Mexico. Not a very good father, having not spoken to him in years, since high school after I divorced his mother, he excluded me from his life. With everything my fault, who could blame him? I certainly didn't harbor any blame against him for not forgiving me and for excluding me but I had plenty of guilt, shame, and remorse for not staying in touch with him and for not asking him for his forgiveness.
Not knowing he died, a sad and tragic time in my life, I wasn't invited to his wedding. Having never met his wife, I didn't even know he had married. After our bad divorce with him taking his mother's side against me, no longer staying in contact with him, not proud of our distant separation and lack of relationship, it was my fault he hated me. With my life spiraling out of control in the way of water going down a drain, between the drinking, the gambling, and the women, I needed to get away to clear my head.
No surprise there, something that will haunt me for the rest of my life, worse than not being invited to his wedding, I wasn't invited to my own son's funeral. With him named after me and with me just his father in name, why should I be? I only wanted to see him for one last time to say my goodbye and to pray over his dead body. Obviously, in the way he meant little to me when I abandoned him, I meant nothing to him throughout his life.
Putting her past behind her, with me just a bad memory, his mother had remarried. I didn't even know my son had died until his mother-in-law, not his mother, Julie, but his mother-in-law, Elizabeth, contacted me and told me what had happened. As if a knife had pierced my black, unfeeling heart, I was as shocked as much as I was saddened by the death of my son, my only child. The ultimate heartbreak, it served me right for thinking more about myself than about him.
With all of it hitting home now, in the way of being struck by a sledgehammer in the chest with a second blow to the head, I blamed myself for all that happened between us. With him having nothing to do with the desolation and end of my marriage, with one thing having nothing to do with the other, I should have confronted him. I should have apologized. I should have asked his forgiveness. I should have begged him to allow me to play a role in his life.

"Hello, Michael?"
With the caller ID anonymous and not recognizing the voice, I figured it was a bill collector or someone trying to sell me something.
"Yes. This is Michael. Who's this?"
With her having a professional, albeit sexy voice, she sounded like a lawyer. Other than her sounding like her, a voice from the past, suddenly, I thought of Loni Anderson from the situation comedy, WKRP in Cincinnati from 1978. I never forget a sexy voice and a beautiful woman. She paused as if thinking what to say.
"You don't know me. We've never met. I'm Elizabeth," she said pausing again before dropping the hammer. "Your son married my daughter, Jennifer, several months ago," she said falling silent again before speaking.
'My son is married? I didn't know that,' I thought. 'Good for him. Yet, I wish I had been invited to his wedding. I wish I had met his wife.'
"Married? With me no longer part of his life, I didn't know he was married. Excitedly hungry to hear some news about my son, I asked the loaded question. "How is he," I asked?
She paused again. She sounded upset. She sounded as if she was crying.
"He's dead. They're both dead. My daughter is dead too," she said.
Wondering if this was a joke, I was in shock. I couldn't imagine my son dead. I had always hoped to get back what I lost by confronting him and apologizing him to him one day, but now with him dead, that was impossible.
"Dead? I don't understand. How can that be? Sorry but who are you again?" No doubt, with the rash of gun violence, I figured they were bystanders, innocent victims in a drive by shooting, or witnesses to a robbery that went bad. "What happened?"
She was sobbing now. Oddly enough, in the way that I was never there for my wife, I suddenly wished I was there to comfort Elizabeth. Only, I was in shock. Too much to take in, if it wasn't enough to hear that my son was married, I couldn't believe Michael, Jr. was dead.
"I'm Jennifer's mother, your son's mother-in-law," she said softly sobbing. "Tragically, they were both killed in a car accident while on their honeymoon in Mexico," she said while crying again.
I was shocked. I was stunned. I couldn't believe it. I didn't know what to say. Unable to fathom the concept of death in relation to my young son who had so much life to live and everything to experience, I was unable to reply to her information.
"Thank you for telling me," I said at a loss for words and not knowing what else to say.

I didn't know what more to say to a woman I didn't know and had never met, thank you for telling me that my son was dead was all that I could say. What else could I say to hearing the belated news of my son's death? Ringing so hollow, it didn't seem right for me to say, sorry for your loss when it was my loss too. Indeed, I was sorry for our losses. I was sorry for the grandchildren I'd never. I was sorry for the apology I'd never have the chance to make.
My mind spun with what could have been but never will be. I'd never see Michael again, offer him an olive branch, and apologize for not being there for him. I lost the opportunity to tell him how sorry I am for abandoning him and being a deadbeat dad. After spending his college fund on gambling, drinking, and chasing women, something I'd take to my grave; my guilt overwhelmed me. No doubt, this was my payback for being such a selfish asshole.
"Are you still there," she asked when I fell silent?
I'd never meet his wife. I'd never have an opportunity to right the wrongs that I made with my son with the grandchildren that I'd never have. I'd never share a beer with him while watching the game and talking about everything while crying over nothing and laughing over everything. As if I had lost an arm, that part of my life has been amputated from me forever.
"Yes, I'm still here," I said even though my mind was elsewhere.
As soon as I heard her voice again, the horn dog in me, I wondered what Elizabeth looked like. Yet, people have been known to come together at devastating times like this to celebrate life by having sex. Perhaps, her calling me was fate. Perhaps, something good could emerge from something so tragically bad and from the death of our children. Yet, as soon as I thought of having sex with my son's mother-in-law, I put the thought out of my mind.
'What's wrong with you,' I thought to myself. 'How dare you? Are any women safe from you wanting to have sex with them?'
Unable to control my horniness, I wondered what she looked like again. She had a voice so sweet and so sexy that she'd make a good living giving men phone sex. Certainly, I'd pay her to give me phone sex. Having never met the woman, my mind was already in the gutter. How dare I disrespect my deceased, daughter-in-law's mother with thoughts of forbidden sex?
Seemingly unable to help herself, she sobbed over the phone. Feeling her pain as if it was my pain, it was then that I wondered if she was on the outs with her daughter in the way that I was with my son. Perhaps, she called me because she was looking for someone to commiserate with and to help her through something so life changing by grieving together. Perhaps, thinking that we were both such lowlifes and having the deaths of our children in common, she thought we'd be a good match.
Who knows? For all I know, she's happily married and not looking for a man to comfort her. No doubt, she'd think me perverted by me being sexually attracted to her over the phone and without even meeting her. For all I know, she could be a dowdy and unattractive, middle-aged woman. There are more of those types of older women than there are sexy mothers who I'd like to fuck.
"I loved Michael as if he was my own son," said Elizabeth over the phone. "He was a good man and a good match for my daughter. He made Jennifer very happy. He would have made my daughter a good husband and their children a good father," she said with sadness. "They deeply loved one another."
