Katherine stood in the foyer of her house and listened to the echo of her voice soak into the surrounding darkness. The entire house smelled like the coconut bubble bath that Samantha used and it disagreed violently with the cheap beer sloshing around in Katherine's stomach. Stifling a burp with one hand over her stomach trying to keep its contents in place, Katherine called into the house again.
"Kids! You up?"
When there was no answer, Katherine shuffled out of her shoes and onto the soft carpet, letting the cool caress of it on her bare feet bring her down from a terrible night. She unbuckled her belt, sighing when the pressure on her belly was released, and pulled off her jeans. Tugging them down to the floor, she wondered why she'd put them on in the first place.
The trip to the bar had been a spur of the moment thing. She was trying to prove to herself that she could get any guy wanted. Her husband thought he was trading up when he started banging his "social media coordinator", a twenty-something teenager with no skills, a made-up job, and plastic tits.
As the tears came back, she wondered if he intended to let it slip. He didn't have the integrity or the guts to tell her he was having an affair. Putting the girl as the background picture on his phone was intentional and keeping the pictures he'd taken of her on the same roll as family photos and their own date night pictures had to be so that he would get caught.
She didn't give him the satisfaction though. She didn't make a scene, just politely asked to be taken home where she pulled on some jeans and went down to the bar next to the community college to pick up one of the young boys that would whistle at her when she drove past in the BMW. She wasn't going to get mad, she was going to get even.
She hadn't been there fifteen minutes before she heard some girls asking each other whose mom she was. Not a single guy approached her, but some looked on with disgust and pity. After a few of the beta males that had struck out with the local girls started looking in her direction, Katherine got herself out of there. She wasn't going to end up with one of the townie guys that even the townie girls didn't want.
So, her husband could get himself an internet model to suck his cock under his desk during lunch hour, while she couldn't even get a drunk college kid to hit on her in a dive bar. This despite the fact that her husband had the hairline and body of a middle manager and she did Pilates and Kegels with the ass to prove it.
She looked at herself in the front window. The dim light behind her framed her silhouette against the pre-dawn darkness outside. She had an ample figure that the little black dress showed off and a mane of dirty blonde hair that glowed a little even in the faint light reflected against the glass.
She admired her hair and her figure. While not a "Hollywood Blonde" like her daughter, the streaks of rust and brown in her hair gave it depth and character. She always thought that hair that was all one color looked unnatural.
She sighed and started up the stairs. The darkness was comfortable now that she'd adjusted to it. The smell of Samantha's coconut body wash was so thick it was like choking on it. The whole upstairs smelled like her.
At the top of the stairs, she could see a thin line of light under Sam's door. She'd fallen asleep with the light on again. She was moving towards the door to open it and turn off the light when a massive shape lunged at her from the darkness. She screamed and fell backwards, almost over the banister and down the staircase when the shape grabbed her and kept her from a serious fall.
"What the fuck!"
"I'm so sorry," Mike said. He held her close against him, close enough to smell the sweat on his neck and shoulders. She began to sag to the floor in his arms before she realized that she wasn't using her legs to hold herself up.
"You scared the hell out of me," Katherine said, taking another deep breath at the nape of Mike's neck as she got her feet back under her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was you."
"Yeah," Katherine said, thinking back on how she shouted into the darkness before sneaking up the stairs in complete silence. "I'm sorry for scaring the hell out of you too."
"What do you mean?"
"That's why you're so sweaty."
"Oh," Mike chuckled, "Yeah, that's not a fun way to wake up."
"Oh shit," Katherine said with one hand over her eyes. "It's like three in the morning isn't it?"
"Yeah," Mike said, staring back into the darkness of his room. "Nearly four."
"I should get to bed," Katherine said, struggling to her feet. The alcohol had settled in finally and the ground swam under her.
"You okay Katherine?"
"Yeah Mike I...I'm gonna need your help."
"Start a pot of coffee?"
"What, no! I need you to...pick me up."
"Sorry?"
"I can't stand up, I'm drunk. I need...I need you to carry me to my bed."
Mike seemed to consider this for a moment. The light was starting to hurt her eyes and Katherine couldn't look at him, just listen to his breathing and soak in his smell while she held her hand over her eyes. Suddenly, she felt two strong hands under her, one on her ass before sliding under her knee and the other across her back before she was lifted against Mike's chest in a strong embrace.
Mike carried her down the hall and into the master suite in six or seven steps. They were over in an instant, but the moment stayed with Katherine long after he laid her on her bed, turned and went back to the doorway.
"Mike?"
Katherine regretted saying it as soon as it left her lips, but when Mike stopped in the doorway, then turned to face her, she didn't tell him to leave. In the darkness of her room, her bloodshot eyes could see better. Without her shades, her eyes shined and sparked in the faint light of her bedroom. Wet by tears, Mike was transfixed by their beauty.
"Yeah Kat?"
Katherine felt a hum run through her. She hadn't been called by her pet name in months, maybe over a year. Shame flushed her cheeks as she felt herself get wet.
"You're a good kid," she said, swallowing hard. "Thanks for helping me get to bed."
"You're welcome," Mike said, disappearing into the hallway.
This time, Katherine didn't say anything, but let her Michael walk away. When he was gone, she rolled onto her side and reached into the drawer on her dresser. She pulled out a small black vibrator that fit perfectly in the palm of her hand. It was curved slightly, and even had a feature that allowed her to use it from her phone that she never turned on.
Katherine listened to the house to make sure everyone was asleep before turning it on. Holding it between her thighs stifled the sound and sent a hundred waves of pleasure coursing through her. This was before she parted her thighs and pressed the tip of it against her sopping mound. She grunted against the back of her free hand while the other creased her panties against her pussy with the vibrator.
Her hips began to pump up against her hand and her moans became harder to stifle. She twisted in a circle, grinding against the vibrator. In the darkness of the hallway outside, Mike and Samantha looked and listened.
Katherine wasn't as quiet as she thought she'd been, and Mike and Sam had been listening for her telltale snoring when she rattled through her nightstand drawer for a full minute before grabbing her vibrator. They could tell it was a vibrator because she'd turned it on and off three times before getting it out of the drawer, shushing it loudly each time.
Sam grinned in the darkness. She knew that the marriage between her mom and Mike's dad was over but Mike was only now finding out. She'd heard the aftermath of more than one failed date from her bathtub, snippets of arguments here and there when they thought she was asleep. Mike was away at school as their marriage fell apart and had no idea, Samantha had a front row seat.
The sound of splashing, and Katherine screaming into her pillow came from her bedroom. Sam pressed her body against Mike and, squeezing her breasts against his back, slid her had over his hip to grab his fully erect cock.
"Mmmm, you're getting off on this huh?"
Mike didn't even respond, just tried to keep his breathing even as Samantha pulled back gently, then slid her hand forward over the head of his penis, giving it a playful little twist at the tip that took his breath away each time.
