Summer vacation was winding down fast, taking with it the last vestiges of freedom that my sisters and I had been so thoroughly enjoying. All too soon, I would be starting my senior year in high school and it would be back to dull grind of boring routine.
"Samuel T. Young, you need a haircut, young man!"
Sick and tired of the shaggy look I was sporting, my mother took me by the arm that Sunday and propelled me into the kitchen. A dining room chair had already been prepositioned on the linoleum tile there, I discovered. On the corner of a conveniently nearby counter, meanwhile, were the rest of her supplies - a pair of scissors, a comb, a squirt bottle loaded with water, and an old blanket.
She propelled me into the chair and quickly had me wrapped up in the blanket, securing it with a clothes pin.
This was standard operating procedure around our place.
Armed with a couple of high school cosmetology courses, my mom had never seen any reason to spend this family's hard earned cash on a trip to the barbershop when she could take care of it herself for free. Opinion's varied wildly among us kids as to just how skilled she really was at this, of course, but she was adamant.
I could clearly remember some of the times I had sat in this chair under this self same blanket back when I was a boy. What a trial that must have been for her - dealing with a squirming, wriggling child who wanted to be anywhere but right there, pestering her endlessly about how much longer this was going to take.
And that was just me! I won't even try to get into the crying fits my sisters had when she refused to do their hair in some new style, convincing them that she was deliberately trying to ruin their lives.
My feelings about all of this would change forever after I hit puberty, though.
Suddenly, the way her body innocently bumped and rubbed up against my own as she worked made it nigh impossible for a young man awash in raging hormones to sit still in that chair. It made me look at her quite differently than I ever had before and there could be no doubting that I liked what I saw. When she came around in front of me, bending down so that she could make sure that she'd gotten the sides even and inadvertently giving me the chance to look down the neck of her blouse, I felt as if I were about to burst into flame. I didn't actually see much flesh, mind you, but it was enough.
Thank God for that blanket or she would certainly have discovered the erection she invariably left me with.
Obviously nothing ever happened between us. I mean, I may have been young and stupid, but I wasn't so foolish as to try to put the moves on my own mother! It wasn't as if I'd ever had much luck with the ladies anyway . . .
It was just fortunate that she had never figured out what kind of perverse ideas were racing through her only son's mind or I would surely have died of embarrassment.
So, humming softly to herself, mom busied herself with cutting my hair, bustling around my chair and rubbing up against me as usual. No matter how I tried to fight it, no matter how weird it was to get all hot and bothered over my own mother, I was soon shivering with excitement from what was happening.
I was eighteen years old now and it may be that this effect had been accumulating energy in me over all that time as it was even worse this time than it usually was and for once she couldn't help but notice that something was amiss. Seeing how I was trembling, hearing an occasional low whimper escape my lips, she gave me a quizzical look and asked me if I was all right. I assured her in a hoarse, cracking voice that I was just fine, thank you very much.
Considering me carefully, she guessed wrong about what my problem was, saying, "Don't worry, dear. I'm not going to cut either of your ears off."
"Thanks."
I was very glad indeed that she had not succeeded in figuring me out, breathing a little sigh of relief.
As I got worse and worse, I also thanked God that the rest of the family wasn't there to watch me make a fool of myself. All three of them were home of course, just not in a position to see into the kitchen.
I could hear the strains of Spongebob's theme song coming from the living room, which meant that my little sister Darla would be in there, paying rapt attention to the TV. The last time I saw my dad, he was in there as well, reading his newspaper, so I assumed that was where he was still. I hadn't seen my older sister Lesley in quite a while and presumed that she was upstairs fussing over her appearance since she had a date tonight.
Coming around in front of me and leaning down, mom rested a hand lightly on my knee as she looked me over. That casual, innocent touch was almost enough to make my already rock hard cock rip it's way through my jeans given the state I was in, but it got worse - much, much worse.
As usual, I could not keep my eyes from dipping whenever she did this, but just this once I saw something more than just the shape of her breasts through her blouse. She had left the top button undone and so I could see right down inside her top and, with no bra in evidence in there, I was given the full effect. I don't mind admitting that my mouth fell open in shock and awe as I took a good, long look at my own mother's full boobs.
I was never so disappointed as when she straightened up again and went back to work, stealing that view away from me.
Coming up beside me, moving in close so that she could work on some particular area of my head, I recall that her crotch then ended up pressed into my arm. I recoiled from that touch not because I didn't want to have any contact with that part of her, but because of how much I did. Unfortunately, this took that part of my head that she was working on out of reach and so she pulled me back into place, admonishing me to sit still.
Clenching my teeth, I obeyed.
Was it just my imagination, or could I really feel a tingling warmth radiating through her skirt from that most intimate of places? Was it just wishful thinking that was making my nose twitch, or could I really smell the sweet scent of arousal?
I closed my eyes tightly, wondering how she might react if I were to suddenly slip my arm out from under that blanket, wrap it around her, and grab hold of her butt. I heard a loud gasp from right beside me, followed by the sound of scissors and comb clattering to the tile floor, and almost chuckled out loud. Yeah, I supposed that was the absolute least she would do if I was so stupid to . . .
Wait a minute. What was going on here? Why had she gasped and dropped her tools?
Opening my eyes, I got the shock of my life when I realized that my arm had moved without any conscious direction from me and that I really did now have my hand squarely on her ass.
Probably the normal reaction anyone else would have if they found themselves in this kind of situation would be to jerk their hand away as if it were instead resting on white hot coals, at the same time offering up a feeble and humiliated apology. Certainly, I tensed up in anticipation of the smack upside my head that was surely coming.
Somehow though, I never thought of taking my straying hand back and no blow ever came. To my amazement, she did not complain and she or make even a pretense of trying to pull away from me.
Uncertain, with my heart in my throat, I ever so slowly tilted my head back so that I could see how she was reacting to all of this. There was an expression of stunned amazement on her face at first, but as our eyes met and held each other, I watched as it was gradually replaced by a nervous smile.
One of her hands came up slowly and I was certain that she was finally going to push herself away from me, but instead she drew me in, pressing my head firmly into her breasts.
To say the least, it was a serious shock to my system to realize that she didn't really have a problem with this, but I wasn't about to look the proverbial gift horse in the mouth.
It was a heavenly moment for a young man who had never managed to get anywhere near a pair of tits before to find himself snuggling into warm, soft pillows like these and I thrilled when I felt what could only be a set of hardened nipples. I had never imagined that it could be so blissfully perfect.
In response, I moved that hand I had behind her, though it was again more because of instinct than out of any kind of deliberate decision. Cupping a cheek, I gave it a little squeeze and was rewarded with a little coo of pleasure from my mother.
It was an intense moment for us both - we were crossing a very serious line here and we both knew it. It was obvious that it was effecting us both as we were breathing much harder now. I was confident that we were mirrored in other ways as well as my heart was pounding away in my chest and, with my ear against her chest like this, I knew that her's was as well. As I was still looking up into her eyes, I could see that her face had flushed a rosy red and I expected that mine must have, too.
I could certainly understand why I was so willing and eager to play this dangerous game, but I was having rather more trouble understanding why she was ready to do these crazy things with her own son. I wasn't thinking clearly enough at that point to want to try to figure it out.
Maybe, just like me, cutting my hair had been getting her all worked up all this time and I simply hadn't noticed?
She leaned forward slightly so that she could pull the sheet away from my lap, sending my shorn hair flying everywhere in the process, and I decided to keep my focus on the here and now. Her eyes left mine for a moment, looking down at my lap to find the huge erection I had once been trying to hide from her, then rose again to show me a wide and delighted smile.
"My big boy."
I was no different than any other guy my age in being absolutely certain that I was hung like a horse and so I wondered idly if she was so pleased because she knew that she had given me that erection, or if it was because of it's sheer size.
