Hopefully you were able to tolerate the two previous chapters enough that this chapter makes them worth it.
Chapter Three - "A Line is Crossed"
I rested in bed and debated whether or not I should pursue anything with Jimmy and if I did, how far should it go. I spent a lot of time covering every angle I could think of before calling him to my room.
"Jimmy, could you come in here?" I yelled. He arrived a few moments later and stood at the foot of the bed.
"I need you to sit," I said quietly.
"Mom, I think you're about to tell me that you've changed your mind and - " he started before I interrupted him.
"Jimmy, I need you to listen, okay?"
He nodded.
I waited until we were well into the awkward silence stage before asking him to sit again. He finally did and I exhaled loudly, preparing for the speech I prepared in my head.
"I know you know what I was asking you to do to me and I need to apologize for going about it that way. Don't respond yet! What I failed to tell you in all this was a problem I've had since ... forever."
I told him about his father and how that whole situation went down. I told him about my growing needs and how I would always be looking for the next step. I wasn't shy about the details, and he made me proud with his intelligent, well-thought-out questions. We shared a lot of details about each other, and it reminded me of how thoughtful men could be. I felt a growing desire begin to build inside me for him.
"Jimmy," I whispered.
"Yeah, Mom?"
"Do you think I'm a monster?"
"You're not a monster, Mom. You have needs that simply exceed some other people's needs. I kind of understand how that feels, but that's probably just because I'm a young guy who the world assumes I would never say no to a willing woman. It's true, but still. I just don't know what to do next," he said as he shifted the eyes to the pink dildo on the nightstand.
I looked over at it as well and the raging debate inside my head from earlier came roaring back. I decided to stop beating around the bush and just go with what felt right in my demented mind.
