Poor Tom, his world was shattered by the sudden death of his father. Even now, standing beside his father's grave with his mother's arm around his shoulder, he put on a brave face while inside he was in agony, sick with grief and guilt.
He was witnessing the burial of his father. He was feeling the normal feelings of gut wrenching loss, sorrow. A deeper, darker part of him was responding to his mother's touch. It was meant to comfort him as it always did. It also did something else -- something shameful. He had tried to fight it, resist it, for as long as he could remember. What was wrong with him? He had two wonderful parents who had loved him, cared for him, made him so happy. His father was gone, the man who had advised him, played with him, taken him to the beach, cared for him, been a best friend and mentor. Now he was gone, being buried, even as the sick feelings crept to the surface.
He looked at his mother. She was beautiful, elegant, graceful, and he loved her dearly. She loved him unconditionally and selflessly. He was a good son, caring, tender, sweet. Yet, he harbored a terrible, dirty secret, one that poisoned him and excited him. On this day, at this moment, he was repulsed by it, by himself. His mother's touch aroused him. Combined with the love and caring that it always conveyed it was the most intoxicating drug he could imagine.
In his darker indulgences he had fantasized about her. At first, almost innocent thoughts filled his head. His mind had extrapolated the sensation of her hands on him to their under-clothed bodies pressing together. The searing heat, the intense pleasure of naked flesh on flesh. The shame of his desires limited them to just the sensation of her body against his.
One day, their lips had accidentally brushed as they were about to kiss the other's cheek, but were caught going the same way. His mother had just laughed it off and probably forgotten it had ever happened. This seared Tom's senses. The taste of her lips had been heavenly. The sensation of their lips grazing was mind numbing. Since that day he had been mesmerized by those perfect lips and wanted to explore them further, to feel them against his lips again. He had imagined spending hours just kissing them, tasting them, savoring them in every way. From tender kisses to sucking on a lip to kissing her whole mouth, tongues thrusting, twirling, licking hungrily together. The intensity of his fantasy always had a physical impact on him.
One day he had seen his mother completely naked. The towels were being laundered. She was in a hurry. She had gone for a bath and forgotten the towels. They were in a linen closet in the hallway. He had not heard her call to him. He was walking down the same hallway when she came out -naked- dripping wet. Both were so shocked at seeing each other that neither one moved for what seemed like an eternity. The vision of her naked body was branded into his mind, the proud B cups sticking out invitingly without being obscene. The soft pussy hair that was maintained, but just a little bushy. The perfectly flared child bearing hips. A single drop of water clinging to one pink, fully erect nipple. Time stood still as he recorded every inch of her bare body. She was the vision of womanhood, like a goddess of love. An eternity later, her hands moved to cover herself; she could not possibly have done anything more erotic than that. One hand moved to cover her womanhood, the other forearm covering her breast. She possessed the most desirable contradiction that makes a woman so incomprehensible yet so intensely desirable. In that one gesture she wove together the essence of girlish modesty, womanly pride of her natural beauty, the innocence of a first love, and the knowing maturity of a worldly woman.
When she turned and walked away, the fluid sway of her hips and the slight jiggle of her bare ass cheeks had paralyzed him. Tom couldn't remember how long he had stood there even after she had gone. That was the day he had lost his guilt about his desire for his mother. That was the day he had given over to unabashed incestuous lust. That day he has masturbated seven times to the image of her. He was sore for a week after, so sore that he could not touch himself. The frustration of not being able to jerk off to the most erotic image of his life made his mind probe deeper, creating darker fantasies.
Predictably, his mother was naked in these new fantasies, unrestrained by shame. The actual event of seeing his mother naked was played back, only ending very differently than it actually had. In these fantasies he recalled that he had walked down the hallway, only he had been naked, having just showered himself. The sight of her had made him hard, incredibly, painfully hard. As she covered herself she saw his hardness and his desire. She bit her lower lip in indecision as she looked at him. She was proud of the physique he maintained. She was flattered and embarrassed by his reaction at the sight of her. She had finally gone back to her bedroom, but not closed the door. He had followed her into the darkened bedroom and only a little light was coming from the open door. The afternoon sun was completely blocked out by the curtains. He had come up behind her and hugged her as he did so many times before. His hip pressed into her ass cheek, but he kept his erection away from her. It was a loving and tender gesture, not a sexual one. Since he respected her in this way, she had not objected. His arms had slid around her waist and he had placed his head on her neck. Sighing contently, she let him hold her like that. The nakedness was not so much sexual as a bonding of two people who loved each other. He had kissed her neck tenderly, as her hands tenderly ruffled his hair, just like she always did. She was so intensely caring. They swayed together sweetly.
