Sunburn
Chapter One
The old expression that Boys Will Be Boys was never more clear to Alex Barnett than the Sunday afternoon when her eighteen year old son came home from an overnight outing at a local lake with some friends. It was almost one that afternoon when Craig walked into the family room, still dressed in a bathing suit. It was evident by the pain etched in his face that the simple act of walking was excruciating and the thirty-nine-year old mother gasped in surprise.
Alex and her husband had been sitting in the family room watching television and the two adults stared at their son with shocked expressions. The slender young man, who had left with friends the morning before with pale skin, now resembled a boiled lobster. Had it not been for the evident pain that Craig obviously felt it might have been funny.
George and Alex leaped from their chairs and hurried to the side of their son and helped him upstairs to his bedroom. Their family physician, a good friend of George's, agreed to stop by and look at Craig. Since George and Dr. Benson were part of a foursome that had a two 0'clock tee time at the country club at three, stopping by the Barnett home was not a problem. George and Dr. Benson would leave from there for the club.
"It's just your everyday sunburn," Dr. Benson pronounced with a chuckle after a quick examination. "It won't kill him but it's gonna hurt."
"That's a relief," Alex sighed audibly.
"I brought some samples, Alex, of a good cream that should alleviate much of the pain and help him through it. It's over the counter so you can pick up a tube at Grady's Pharmacy if you run out."
"He's going to be alright?" George asked his voice filled with concern.
"Yeah. He'll be great in a few days. But you're going to peal like fruit, young man," he grinned down at Craig. Then he turned his attention back to Alex and George. "One of you will have to apply the cream until the pain lessens."
"I'll take care of him," Alex said.
"Ok. My work is done. You ready to beat those bastards at a round of golf, George?"
"Robbie and Jack don't have a chance," George laughed.
George and Dr. Benson left for the club and Alex settled into help her son. She breathed a thankful sigh of relief that Craig's sunburn wasn't as bad as she and her husband had originally thought. She told her son to take off the skimpy looking bathing suit and roll over onto his stomach so she could apply some of the cream to his back and the back of his legs. She left to get a washcloth from the hall bathroom so she could wipe the excess medicine from her hands once she was finished. When she returned to her son's room, she found Craig struggling to remove the tight bathing suit. It was apparent that the eighteen-year-old young man was in too much pain to do even something as simple as undress.
"Here. Let me help," she said quickly.
It wasn't as easy as she thought. Alex could see the pain on Craig's face as she slowly prodded and pulled the bathing suit off his hips and down his legs. She even had to lift his feet to completely remove the swim trunks. She was so busy that she hadn't really paid much attention to the fact that Craig held his hands cupped between his legs to hide his cock and balls from his mother. When she had the trunks off, he rolled over as quickly as possible, which wasn't that fast.
Alex started with Craig's shoulders and worked her way down his beet red back. His skin was hot to the touch and the cool cream elicited low, satisfying sounds from him. Alex's soft hands worked slowly, taking care not to cause any more pain than necessary. When she finished with her son's legs, she asked him to roll over. Slowly, the young man complied and Alex understood immediately that he was embarrassed since he would be exposed to his mother.
Alex nearly gasped when she saw her son's cock. Even flaccid, Craig's cock was impressive. Maybe it was because he was her son and the last time she had seen her son naked he hadn't been nearly as well endowed. Her eyes met Craig's briefly and she saw the unease he felt at being exposed in front of her. That, she knew, was understandable but there was nothing she could do since someone had to apply the medicinal cream to his tortured skin.
Alex worked the cream into the red skin of Craig's chest and stomach with fingers that had become a little hesitant to touch him. It was impossible to keep her gaze from his cock and it came as a shock when she saw it twitch and begin to grow. She held her breath as she rubbed his stomach slowly, her eyes staring wide and disbelieving when he was finally hard and throbbing.
Craig's cock was huge! Before George, Alex had only had sex with one man and she had never seen, nor believed a man's cock could be so big and fat. Later, she would learn that her son's cock, when fully erect, was an astonishing nine and a half inches long and nearly three inches wide.
Shaking her head and bringing herself back to reality, the incredulous mother began working the cream into the skin of Craig's legs. Her pulse had quickened noticeably and her breathing was labored as she fought to keep her gaze from her son's massive manhood. When she began working on his thighs, though, it was impossible not to look. The way his balls rolled slowly when she worked on his thighs nearly took her breath away.
"Ok, bud!" she said, feigning an ordinary voice as she quickly pulled the top sheet over his naked body.
"Uh, thanks, mom." Craig could barely meet her eyes.
"No problem, kiddo," she smiled. "I'll be back later to check on you. Is there anything special you'd like for dinner tonight?"
He shook his head. "Anything will be fine, mom."
A very uncomfortable Alex left her son's room and headed back downstairs to the family room. She sat in her recliner for a long while, unable to do anything as her mind replayed what she had seen. Wasn't it natural for a young man – or any man - to get an erection in a situation like her son had been in? Sort of a physiological problem? George told her he'd had a similar problem the time he was being prepped by a young nurse just prior to an operation and there was nothing he could do to prevent an erection. It had been embarrassing for him as Craig had been embarrassed a few minutes ago.
So it was obvious that she had not aroused her son, and that he had wanted to have sex with his own mother. It had simply been a quirk of the mind, something he'd had no control over. Still, the image of such an enormous and gorgeous cock would not leave her head.
Chapter Two
Later that evening after Alex fed Craig, cleaned the kitchen and watched television with her husband, she sat on the sofa thinking about all of the nasty thoughts she knew she shouldn't be thinking. Earlier, as she applied more ointment to Craig's sunburned skin, he again became aroused again. It caused her to think that maybe the first time hadn't been a fluke after all, that her son was really aroused by her. It was a disturbing thought.
The strange thing for Alex was that she didn't seem to feel the same remorse and guilt she had when thoughts of her son's hard cock first came to mind. Maybe, she thought, she didn't feel guilt and remorse – at least not as intensely – because the state of her arousal masked those feelings. Maybe she really did want to touch his manhood.
