The next two weeks were tough. We were nearing the end of the academic year, and every professor seemed to be competing in which one could pile more on us. I wanted to spend time with Mom, but I needed to do well academically this first year. I texted her regularly, explaining, and she understood.
"Mom, I want to be there to get a good meal, but we're getting swamped and I'm struggling to keep up." What I was really saying was not "...to get a good meal," but rather, "...to get a good feel," and Mom seemed to understand without my saying it.
"Honey, no matter what else is going on, your studies have to take priority. You're a man now and you have to make the smart decision, no matter what other desires are influencing you."
That was probably as close to sexting as Mom would ever get. She acknowledged that there was a desire, a major desire, that was foremost in my mind.
As we came closer to the end of the semester, there was a slackening in the study load, and things eased up a bit. I was not at the top of the class, but safely in the top third. I finally had some time to myself. On a Wednesday, my afternoon classes were cancelled and I found myself with a window of free time. I immediately texted Mom,
"Afternoon classes cancelled. Got the coffee pot on?"
She replied immediately, "It's hot and ready." Whew. She could sure say a lot in an innocent text. "Hot and ready." Good Lord, I hoped so.
When I got there she was not waiting for me at the back door, so I let myself in and called for her. "Mom?"
"Be right there," she shouted from upstairs, so I stood at the bottom of the stairs waiting for her. She was a vision as she descended the stairs. She had on the same yoga pants and sweater as the last time I had seen her. She was beautiful.
She came right into my arms and we kissed deeply. I immediately noted, to my delight and surprise as I held her with my hands on her back, that she was not wearing a bra. She was not wearing a bra!
She took my hand, saying, "Do you really want coffee?"
I looked at her and laughed. "Nope. Right now coffee is the last thing on my mind."
She nodded, as if I had said exactly the right thing, and taking my hand led me into the den. We settled on the couch, resumed kissing, and before no time at all were in the position we had been in before when we were so rudely interrupted by Dad's arrival. I wasted no time in pushing her sweater up to her shoulders. I pulled back, looking at those perfect pear-sized breasts, and gave a deep sigh. They were pale, and I noticed she had a small mole on the bottom of the left breast. I could see the blue veins in them, and slight stretch marks - a result of their swelling with milk when she was nursing me. I raised my eyes to hers, and she was smiling slightly.
"Like them?"
"Oh, yeah. I like them. I think they're the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."
She laughed softly. "You loved them when you were a baby. I thought I'd never get you weaned."
