They had the most unbelievable sex, as they cuddled and kissed afterwards mum said, "I'm sixty today, that's the best sex I've ever had in my life. Jack, you've given me the best birthday that I've ever had."
Jack replied, "Mum, you're a very sexy woman. I enjoyed the sex with you so much; I love how you grip; you've powerful cunt muscles."
They kissed again, then Jack said, "Mum, the keys for the cottage, it's nearly five, do you want to come with me to pick them up?"
"Yes baby, it's still light, could you drive me down then I can see inside and see how it has changed."
They showered quickly together then went to the lawyers. Jack came out with the keys and said, "They don't need the keys back until Monday, we can have them all weekend. I spoke to the lawyer; he told me that it could be bought cheaply as it needs a lot of work done on it."
Mum squeezed Jack's thigh all the way down to the cottage. Mum was filled with anticipation as Jack opened the door. Mum couldn't believe it, a lot of the furniture was the furniture that had been left in the house when gran had sold it. The memories came flooding back to mum. The Aga cooker in the kitchen was the one that mum's dad had installed all those years ago; it still looked good.
The lady who had bought the cottage had been a school teacher who had got a position in the local school. She had retired and decided to stay in the village; she had died a year ago; there was no interest in the cottage. Mum showed Jack where her bedroom had been; it still had the same wallpaper on the walls. Mum showed Jack everywhere; the gardens required attention. The Master Bedroom had it's own ensuite which was precisely as mum remembered it. The cottage had only partial central heating when grandpa had it; they were never there in the winter. Mum took lots of photos on her smartphone; there were so many memories there for her. Mum asked, "Jack, can you bring me here tomorrow again? This place is just as if we left it yesterday, I'd love to spend more time here, May and Jo would love to see it too, there are still three swings in the garden that we used to play on, amazingly, they are still there, they show the quality of the toys dad bought for us."
Jack squeezed mum's waist then said, "Mum, no problem, if you want it then I can buy it for you, the views are exceptional, the building is good, the roof is intact, it needs money spent on the services then this would be a very comfortable place to live. What would you like to eat tonight? I don't want you to cook today; we can eat out where ever that you want?"
Mum answered, "Jack, I have got a craving for an Indian, there's an Indian takeaway that delivers, the food is excellent. We could order our meal and have it at home then we could have a relaxing evening at home?"
"I'd love that mum, let's do it!"
On the way, home mum said, "I'm not sure of Jo's new boyfriend, there's something funny about him that I can't put my finger on. For the last fifteen years she has been so happy and satisfied, May told me that she might have been having an affair with a married man then something happened. Have you spoken with him or even Jo as you too worked so closely together?"
Jack thought carefully for a minute then said, "Mum, I haven't spoken to him, I don't even know his name, Aunt Jo has never discussed him with me, I know one thing, he's not my cup of tea."
Mum said, "Jack, one thing that you have done is raise the interest in the family name, dad always kept it very quiet, it's a world of brand awareness now, you have certainly raised the awareness. I hope that this guy is not an opportunist trying to get to Jo's wealth."
Jack realised immediately what his mum was saying, he knew then that Jo had paid the price of their discretion, they had done things on holiday together, but at home, it had just been sex and only sex when they needed it. Jack had enjoyed the time he had spent with his mum when she moved in with him; today was terrific with the sex, he was so looking forward to tonight. He thought that he must soon arrange a meeting with Aunt Jo to find out what had happened.
Jack replied, "Mum, do you think that's possible? Aunt Jo is an Accountant; she's trained to look into things meticulously, I can't see her getting involved with a dodgy person?"
Then mum's rang, it was Aunt Jo to wish her a Happy Birthday. Mum told her all about the lunch then getting the keys for the cottage. Jack then asked if he could have a word, as mum held the phone for him he asked to make sure Aunt Jo knew, Jack said, "Mum, is this on speakerphone?"
When did mum say yes, then Jack said, "Hi Aunt Jo, how are you? Is everything good? I haven't seen you for ages."
Aunt Jo replied, "I've been at a bit of a loose end, I have missed doing your diary, the board meetings are easy but the television and media diary, I miss a lot, not to worry, we had fifteen unbelievable years. I would love to visit the cottage, Jack, that was so good of you taking Dot there today, I'm sure May would love to see it again too."
Jack replied, "We will do that, Aunt Jo, it's so tranquil there, and the views are amazing, I'll message you when I know the exact time that we're going."
"I'd appreciate that I look forward to hearing from you."
They ended the call; mum said, "Jo sounds better, she seemed to talk freely with you, Jack, was it fifteen years that she arranged your diary?"
