NOTE:  This is a twist in taste.  A reader wondered why I'd never 
written a mom/son story.  Because, of course, because I've never written 
one.  And when Parthenogenesis does it so well, why bother?  But the 
demon seed was planted; the flower of the following is perhaps then the 
best answer I could supply said reader.  Enjoy!


FRANKENMOM; Or MY MOTHER FRANK; Or FRANKING MOM


I did, I admit, feel like hot shit.

When I was sixteen I'd been seized by a compulsion to go out and buy 
some brushes and paints, and I'd never stopped since.  I never really 
understood where any of it came from, though Mom made some mention of a 
likewise talented great-grandfather of hers.  "You certainly didn't get 
it from me.  To be frank, a bath and a salary, that's about all I can 
draw."  

I'd grown up with a few of that old man's canvases on the walls.  Awful 
stuff.  Seascapes where the crashing waves looked like whipped frosting 
on a fancy cake.  Still-lifes of flowers in vases that more resembled 
bowls of oddly-colored long-stemmed fruit.  That was, I decided, not 
really my heritage.

I'd always been a good student, and the addition of some art classes the 
last half of my high school career only buoyed up an already fine GPA.  
Maybe I could have gone to some famous university, but Central College--
in a small town an hour's drive from home--offered me a splendid 
financial aid package.

Of course, being a freshman, the only art class available was the 
equivalent of Drawing 101.  There was no testing out of it.  The day I 
was told to render a drawing horse in two-point perspective I called Mom 
in tears, begging her to extricate me from this bad decision.  Mom, 
being pragmatically Mom, refused, comforting me with the advice to give 
it more time.

Soon after, my collegiate fortunes shifted.  I caught a flier, an 
invitation for a non-juried exhibit on the walls of the student 
coffeehouse.  I hung two paintings, and next thing I knew, Jack McAffee, 
the head of the art department, had me transferred into the senior 
painting seminar.  He became, I suppose, my mentor.  I had to work hard 
at my appreciation; Jack's work, really, reminded me of not but a notch 
above my great-great-grandfather's stuff.  Maybe a little more informed 
by modernism.

My chest was wide as a highway and deep as a well when I called Mom with 
the news that the official college gallery was being given over to a 
display of my paintings.  A one-man-show, with an opening!  Such honors 
were unheard of in my lineage.  There would be a table bearing 
nourishment for the guests.  Plates of crackers that weren't saltines.  
Cheeses that weren't packaged by Velveeta.  Wine that wasn't, perhaps, 
Gallo.

The greatest surprise of the conversation was when Mom announced that 
she'd arrive the evening before to ensure she got a hotel room.  Mom was 
going to be there?  Well of course she was.  Why should that come as a 
surprise?

Because I hadn't thought of it, so busy was I with peripheral plans.  I 
was of course banking on the fact of my fame garnering girls galore 
falling at my feet.  Wasn't that how things worked when you went away to 
college?  I'd had a sort of girlfriend in high school, briefly.  Already 
I was cashing in on the possibilities of finding out what it must be 
like to do more than exchange chaste kisses with a girl.  The odd 
fumbling feel of another's flesh.  The stolen glances down the front of 
a half-unfastened blouse.  Surely the college held adoring artsy girls 
who would want to do whatever.  Just because I'd never glimpsed a single 
one didn't necessarily mean that a bevy of them didn't exist.

It wasn't that I didn't want Mom to be there.  It was just that . . . 
Mom might wind up saying something to someone which would ruin my plans.  
I could see her accidentally shredding some poor girl standing beside me 
who might've otherwise followed me to my room.  

That was Mom.  Honest to a fault.  Perfectly frank.  Prefacing every 
other remark with a form of _frank_.  So much so that in the past 
several years I'd taken to calling her by the nickname _Frank_.

When the weekend arrived, I knew well enough that the bad would be 
skipped, that things would go from good to worst.  It was no surprise 
when Mom knocked on my dorm door and I answered to find her standing 
there still holding her suitcase.

There was not a room to be had in all the town.  I'd only discovered 
earlier in the afternoon that the very hour of my opening coincided 
exactly with the kick-off of the Homecoming game.  _Mi casa es su casa_, 
I supposed.  _Mi cama es su cama_ was more like it.  There wasn't really 
anything else to do but offer up my hospitality.  I could hardly send 
her packing--_drive back home and I'll see you in the morning._  The sun 
was hovering at the horizon; Mom was notoriously nightblind.  

Not that it would have likely been any different any other way, but 
there went at least the potential for losing my virginity.

To my immense relief, come dinnertime, Mom didn't even mention the 
Commons.  I was afraid she'd want to share the experience of my thrice-
daily experience.  It was an apt name, though I didn't understand the 
plural.  Very, very _common_.  It wasn't that I didn't want to be seen 
associated with her; I didn't want her to associate me with it.

"So, what's the best restaurant in town."

That was an easy pick.  There was only one place in town that even 
remotely qualified as a restaurant.

"_Randy's_," I answered.

"_Randy's?_" she ventured.

"Hey, I didn't name it."

"Then _Randy's_ it is."

"Though I should warn you," I added, "that the title best-restaurant-in-
town is a _very_ relative term."

"How relative?"  Mom got a squeamish look.

"Well . . . if this was back home, you wouldn't know anyone who'd ever 
set foot in the place.  At least to admit of it."

"Is it that bad?"

"Oh no.  It's the best restaurant in town.  Just bear in mind _town_," I 
grinned.  "Not much in the way of quiet-tables-for-two.  It's the land 
of huge round-tops.  Think of a big trough.  And a whole lot of pigs."

"So I take it we can expect to be greeted at the door by the titular 
personage, dressed in a tux?"

"Huh?" I was confused.  "Oh.  Naw.  You're joking, right?  Listen, 
Frank, I think the place was named after the physiological condition of 
its patrons."

Mom's turn to battle confusion.

"You'll see," I nodded.

Then she understood.  I don't think she was terribly shocked, but it did 
take a few minutes for her eyebrows to sink back down.

"Put it this way:  my work-study, I go to the library a few evenings a 
week, sit at a desk and shelve books and daydream about pretty girls.  
The poor jocks, they have to spend all day every day at _Randy's_; they 
sit at their tables and shovel food--all their dreams come true."

When we walked in, the little bell above the door seemed to have turned 
into a gigantic gong.  In unison, every face in the place turned in our 
direction.  Mouths opened mid-chew and tongues played with their food.  
The guys anyway.

"Friends of yours?" Mom whispered slyly. 

"No, but it looks like they want to be friends of _yours_!"

I got a quick elbow in the ribs.  I jutted mine out to fend off any 
further attacks.  But instead, Mom's arm quickly threaded its way 
through mine.  Jaws dropped, tongues _lolled_, and clumps of food 
plopped back on plates.

While there weren't any small tables, there were booths for the taking.  
We took one, sitting on opposite sides of the table.  I fetched us menus 
from the clip on the condiment carrier.  Mom gifted me with a smile as I 
stretched and handed hers over.  The booths were built for big bellies.  
I looked at her in a fresh way from across this great gulf.

I could understand the reactions.  Mom looked different from everyone in 
the restaurant.  Even I looked bland in comparison.  The odd drops of 
blood had coagulated in her appearance.  Some Mexican mestizo, some 
Cherokee, some lateral ancestor from Sicily: it'd all come together in 
her dark exotic features.  Against the nearly universal blonde wide-
browed piggy-eyed standard of local beauty, she was an orchid set out in 
a field of dandelions.  But I hadn't ever really given her that 
consideration.

Mom was Mom.  Mom had always been Mom.  That Mom was beautiful was a 
given; all Moms are beautiful.  From infancy--there's the beautiful Mom-
face smiling down at you, the beautiful Mom-hands stroking and holding 
you, not to mention the bounty of the Mom-breasts.

As well, I'd never thought of Mom in terms of being a woman.  Women were 
. . . well, they weren't your Mom.  It was a major shock for me.  
Sitting there across from me was not only my beautiful Mom, but a 
beautiful woman.  Smiling at me.  Smiling at me alone.  A woman who had 
the attention of every guy in this big room.  And she was focusing all 
her attention on me.  A woman who had every guy in the place yearning 
for a glance, whereas her eyes were mine alone.

Every guy in the place had the hots for her!  They'd hop aboard for a 
ride first chance they got.  Even though she was old enough to be any of 
their Moms.  They were all my age.  She was my Mom.  And she was smiling 
at me!  She was talking to me.

"Davey?  _Hello!_"

"Huh?  Oh yea.  What?"

"I was asking if you had any particular recommendation."

To press _Rewind_ for a few years and decide to become an electrical 
engineer instead.  I tried to be suave, "Your choice.  Whatever catches 
your eye.  It's bound to be good.  If not great, at least satisfying."

Eventually I was saved from my own mouth by the arrival of the waitress.  
Out of uniform, she would have been lost to sight in the sea of sameness 
surrounding us.  The regulation straw-thatch roof for hair.  The 
forehead broad enough to be a roof joist.  And nearly centered in that 
expanse the pair of eyes set about a penny apart.  She gave us a greedy 
look while she took our orders, flashing back and forth between me and 
Mom.

Mom chirped like a bird as the waitress walked away.  As the waitress 
_sashayed_ away.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

There was a twinkle in her eye.  "You didn't see?  It was so obvious.  
_She_ wanted to order _you_--_à la carte_, of course."

I sat bolt upright.  "No way!"

She rolled her shoulders.  "Whatever you say; it's definitely your call.  
Not to deny you your desires, but it would make me proud to think you 
had inherited a sense of taste."

Mom looked around, then giggled.  "I guess that completes it.  We've 
filled the place."

I didn't understand.

"We're even kitchen gossip, now," she explained.

Before she could explain _that_, the waitress was back bearing a full 
tray.  The attraction of _Randy's_ was, I suppose, that nothing on the 
menu couldn't be pre-prepped to within a minute of the plate.  The fast-
food franchises would never make it in this town.

The waitress basically dropped Mom's plate in front of her.  The piece 
of fish and new potatoes jumped and landed in a jumble.  She was a bit 
more gentle with the bowl of soup, but made up for that by positively 
slamming down her glass of iced tea.  Mom just smiled.  

Then it was my turn.  This stranger bent unnecessarily low to serve me, 
locking her eyes on mine.  Her eyes kept glancing down, indicating, I 
finally realized, that I was supposed to be doing the same with mine, 
the better to enjoy the view down the front of her blouse.  The way she 
slid my plate into place made me think she was sliding down her pants.  
My club sandwich was perfectly quartered and landed before my face 
without a quiver.  She gave a tug to the paper wrapping on the straw, 
and there was no mistaking the gesture that unsheathed the straw.  Then 
she stuck it in my soda, angling it towards me.  I was afraid she was 
going to hold the straw and wait for me to take a sip.  Mom, I could 
see, though still silent, had given up trying to keep a straight face.

The stupid woman finally went away.  Mom was darting glances all around.  
Apparently, I was labeled a stud.

"Don't you see?  Honestly?  Come on, Davey, I didn't raise you to be 
this dense.  I'll be frank with you.  It's never occurred to any of them 
that I'm your mother."  Mom leaned in close across the table, enveloped 
one of my hands in hers, then with that lavish smile of hers informed me 
with a heightened whisper, "David, they all assume I'm your lover."

_Girlfriend_, I could have reacted sensibly to that.  But _lover_?  It 
was like the secret of life, a magic word loaded with mystery.  You held 
hands with a girlfriend.  Maybe, if you were exceptionally lucky, you 
even got to have sex with your girlfriend.  But a _lover_?  I couldn't 
even imagine!  Just the thought of the word had the heat rising in my 
head.  And a turgid stirring in my pants.

"How cute!  You're blushing.  Frankly, you're blushing so bright 
everyone can see it.  They watch me whispering to you, and you blush.  I 
bet they wonder what I'm saying."

The flow of blood redoubled.  In both places.

"I tell you what," Mom gleamed.  "Let's really give them something to 
talk about."  Her fingers began lightly stroking the back of my hand.  
"Let me have a taste of your club."

I nearly whimpered, then understanding, nudged my plate towards Mom.

"No no no--the quarter in your hand, hold it out to me."

She bent forward and took a dainty nibble.  And then, I never would have 
guessed that chewing a morsel of food could be turned into such an 
erotic display.

"Now," she sat back, announcing brightly, "would you like to try my 
soup?  It's deliciously bland."  

I was beginning to catch on.  Nodding, I grinned then leaned, letting 
her slip the spoon into my mouth.  "Exquisitely bland," I agreed with 
great enthusiasm, letting my tongue circle my lips.

"That took me back," Mom laughed.  She took my hand back in hers.  "I 
always did like spoon-feeding you.  Frankly, it was such a . . . such an 
_unusual_ pleasure."  Letting go of my hand, she returned to her food.  
"Nothing like the breast, of course, but a sharing of sensual pleasure 
nonetheless."

I looked down at my plate.  Food?  Food was the furthest from my 
thoughts.  Mom's voice penetrated this dangerous recess.  "I think we 
should up the ante, add to your cachet."

I heard the soft rustle of legs being crossed, then a shoe dropped.  I 
waited for the proverbial other.

"David?"

I glanced up.  

Mom's eyes were dancing all over me.  "My goodness!  To be frank, I 
didn't know the human face could get _that_ red."  A nyloned foot 
brushed against my ankle, then lingered, sliding up under my pants leg, 
teasing my calf.  "We're putting on quite a show, don't you think?  
We're driving them _wild_."

I gulped.

"Two minutes," Mom declared, "I guarantee it."

Two minutes?  She was guaranteeing _what_?  No doubt what I was afraid 
of happening in about that amount of time.

"See?  Right on schedule."

I glanced to my side to see a girl walking up to our table.  I was 
confused.  At first I thought she was our waitress.  She looked just 
like our waitress.  But she wasn't wearing the uniform.  She had the 
same sort of sway as our waitress.  Maybe our waitress was off-duty now.  

She scowled at Mom, then turned sweetly to me.

"Hi, David!"  Different voice:  it wasn't our waitress.

"Um, hi."


"I heard that you were having a picture show tomorrow!  I'm so sorry I 
won't be able to be there, what with the game and all!  But maybe you 
could show them to me personally sometime!  I'd like that!"

"Uh, sure.  Whatever."

"Okay!  Thanks!  Here!" she slipped a piece of paper on the table beside 
me.  "Gimme a call!  See ya later!"

Mom grinned like the cat that'd eaten the whole goddamn aviary.  
"Classmate of yours?"

"I guess."

"Friend?"

"Hardly."

"More than a friend?"

"_Stop it_, Frank."

"Had her phone number already written out for you," Mom nodded.  "That 
definitely qualifies as premeditated."

"Were things that different went you were in school?  I would've thought 
that a girl who carries around copies of her phone number, who walks 
around and _dispenses_ them would have always been known as a . . . as a 
. . . "

"A slut?" Mom inquired.  She snorted.  "I never meant to imply that she 
wasn't a slut!  What's her name?"

"How should I know?" I held the paper up.  "The saddest sight in all the 
world:  a phone number written down without an identifier.  Tiffany, 
Brittany, Bethany, one of _those_ names.  It hardly matters:  I don't do 
people who speak in exclamations."

"She'll be _doing you_, if you give her half a chance."

"_Mom!_"

"It's a sort of rule-of-mating among the lesser hominoids.  Desirability 
increases inversely to availability.  _Perversely_, to be frank.  Invite 
her up to your room to see your etchings and see what happens.  A stupid 
line for a stupid girl for some stupid fun.  And frankly, Davey, I think 
you could use some stupid fun in your life."

Mom's hand disappeared from the table, went fiddling to her side, then 
dived all the way under, rubbing on my knee.  "Here," she hissed, "slip 
this on the table and let's get out of here."

I reached under for her hand and she slipped me a piece of paper.  Like 
a note in class.  Or a scribbled phone number at a party.  It was a 
twenty dollar bill.  What was it doing in _my_ hand?

"Man pays," Mom nodded.  "Let's go."

"But we need the check, don't we?  And what about the change?  This 
place is cheap . . . we couldn't have ordered more than ten or twelve 
bucks."

She stood up and practically pulled me out of the booth.  "Hey, big 
spender, keep your options open."  Then Mom bent to my ear, "_Look!  
She's_ dragging _him out of here--wonder why she's in such a hurry!_"

"Frank, you're insane!" I whispered as we approached the door.

"Don't be so serious, David.  You're always too serious.  I'm just 
setting you up for some fun."

Once we were outside and down the sidewalk, Mom pulled up short.  "I 
want you to have some fun.  I want the best for my boy.  But listen 
here.  I'm going to be frank with you.  Have fun.  Fuck yourself silly 
with these girls . . . "

My eyes went big and round.

"Come on, Davey," she snorted.  "_Fuck_ is in my vocabulary too.  As I 
was saying:  have fun, but don't you dare take it seriously.  Don't you 
dare make it serious.  Don't be bringing one of those creatures home to 
meet your Mom.  Mom doesn't want them in the house.  Of course, I can't 
tell you what to do.  But I can tell you what I'll do.  Hitch up with 
one of them critters and start having spawn, don't come crying to me.  
Don't think you'll turn me into the grandma/babysitter for anything like 
that.  Little bovine babies--I'd eat them for breakfast."

We stood there facing each other, a few paces apart, in the silence of 
minutes.

Finally, I gathered my nerve.  "Frank, you may be my Mom, but right now 
I really feel like slapping you in the face.  For having the _audacity_ 
to suggest that such a possibility even exists."

Her hand darted towards me and I flinched.  But Mom just patted my head.  
"Good boy."

We made our way back to my room.  Once inside, the evening took on the 
sleepy sort of feeling that comes of full bellies and nothing better to 
do.  Mom sat on the edge of the bed sort of wagging her head.

"Davey," she hesitated, "I'm in a bit of a quandary.  Do you have, say, 
an old flannel shirt I could sleep in?"

I must have given her some sort of screwball look because that's exactly 
what she threw back at me, with an exasperated sort of sigh.

"Honey, I came prepared to sleep by myself in a hotel suite, not bunk it 
with my son in his dorm room."

A hotel suite?  In this town?

"You, uh, didn't bring pajamas?" I asked the obvious.

"If I'd brought pajamas, I wouldn't be asking for a night shirt, now 
would I?"

"No nightgown or anything?"

"No nightgown or anything."

"What do you normally sleep in?" the question slipped out of my mouth 
before I could stop it.

Mom started to blush but then she lifted her chin.  Like hitting a 
switch, her blush turned off.  "If you must know, I generally sleep in 
nothing at all."

Oh.  "Oh."  I didn't know that about her.  I didn't need to know that 
about her.  I flushed, my mind flaring with thoughts of women in bed, 
women going to bed naked.  My Mom as a woman who slept completely naked.  
And once again I was confronted with the bizarre reality that this 
person I'd always known as Mom was in fact a woman.  That underneath her 
Mom-clothes, Mom was a naked woman.

"So for modesty's sake, if you please--I'd really rather not have to 
ruin this silk blouse.  And I doubt you want to see your old Mom with 
her boobs hanging out."

I was at the closet!  No, I was not ready to see that.

The problem was that I had the clothes I was wearing, and a set of good 
things for tomorrow, but otherwise everything else I owned was the dirty 
laundry I'd been delaying doing for several weeks.  I was wondering if 
I'd be able to sneak a shirt out of the basket that didn't smell too 
bad, or if I should just let her have my good shirt for the night.  I 
slid the closet door open a crack . . . providence!  There in the jangly 
graveyard of empty hangers was the ghost of a flannel shirt.  I'd 
forgotten all about it!  Then I remembered exactly why.  It wasn't in 
the wash because I hadn't worn it.  I hadn't worn it because it'd been 
washed too many times.

Not until I had it out of the closet and held out in my hands to give to 
Mom did I remember the whole story.  The damn thing had seen the inside 
of a hot dryer too many times.  The only reason I hadn't thrown in away 
was that it had once been my favorite flannel shirt.  It still was, in a 
technical sense.  However faded, the charcoal greys and pinks of the 
print made my eyes so happy.  But the cuffs had gotten so frayed, and 
the sleeves so short, I'd cut them off above the elbows.  The shirt had 
shrunk in every direction.  Barely the tips of the tails could be tucked 
in.  And though I hardly had a manly chest, it was a tight fit across 
the front.  Then I remembered the missing buttons.  The second one down 
from the collar was still there, barely hanging by a thread, giving a 
false sense of security regarding the two missing directly below it.  If 
the button was about twice the size, then maybe its ragged hole would've 
held it tight.  I'd finally quit wearing the shirt because every time I 
turned around the damn thing would be open to nearly my navel.  Like I 
should be standing around, hips cocked, gold chains nestled in a thick 
mat of chest hair, _Hey hey, bay-bee, check it out!_

Mom held the shirt up in front of her, sort of looking at it as though 
she didn't quite recognize it as a shirt.  "Perhaps I should take you 
shopping tomorrow afternoon."  While she was occupied I slowly turned, 
surreptitiously slipping my good shirt, hanger and all, from the dresser 
knob back into the closet.

"Oh, wait a minute.  Why don't you try this one instead?"  I turned 
around, too late.

Her blouse lay on the bed beside her.  Mom had somehow put on the shirt, 
buttoning it as best it would, having gotten only one arm through the 
sleeves.  Her hidden hand fumbled around under the fabric for the 
longest time.  She looked up, "Heavens no, that's your good shirt.  This 
one will," she gave a grunt, the other arm finally snaking out its 
sleeve, "suffice.  Could use a few more buttons, though, couldn't it?"

I winced, watching the top button straining its hole.

Then I witnessed one of the most amazing sights I'd ever seen in all my 
life.  Mom took her newly freed hand, slipped it up the other sleeve, 
grappled around for a moment, and then she pulled her brassiere out 
through the sleeve!

I gaped at her.  Mom smiled back.  "Neat trick, huh?"

I nearly blurted out that I wanted her to show me the secret.

"As I'm sure you're already starting to discover, us gals have a lot of 
interesting tricks."

No doubt.  Not that I really knew of any.  Though I was very eager to 
learn.

The shirt really did not fit.  While I didn't have a manly chest, my 
shoulders were significantly wider than Mom's.  She filled out the slack 
with a decidedly womanly chest.  

Mom glanced down to see what I was staring at, then looked back up.  
"You're right, it is a rather tight fit."  

"I'm sorry, Mom.  I don't have anything else clean.  I was planning on 
doing my laundry on Sunday."

"And how many Sundays ago would that have been?" she grinned.

I recognized a rhetorical question when slapped in the face with it.

"Do you have any padded hangers?" she asked with a frown.  I stuck my 
head back into the closet.  What the hell was a _padded_ hanger?

"And maybe one with clips?"  _One with clips?_

By the time I turned around Mom just grabbed what she could from my 
feeble grip.  A regular wire hanger for the blouse, one for her skirt, 
and another to suspend her pantyhose.  She started arranging the trio on 
dresser knobs.  The hose slipped off their hanger; Mom bent without a 
thought, plucking them from the floor and redraping them.

Fantasy and reality had actually overlapped in my lifetime!  There was a 
woman wearing only panties and a short shirt--_my shirt!_--prancing 
around my room.  But . . . it was Mom.  That didn't do me any good.  It 
just made my thoughts sort of foggy.  I busied myself by fetching the 
spare blanket from the top shelf in the closet.  

While I was turned, Mom disappeared into the bathroom.  She fiddled 
around in there forever, giving me ample time to hunt up an old pair of 
gym trunks.  That, with the t-shirt I was wearing, was the closest I had 
to pajamas.  I, too, generally went bare to bed.

I took my turn in the bathroom.  After that, I was pretty much at a 
loss.  How to entertain my guest?  I knew nothing of slumber party 
protocol.  No popcorn within miles.  I didn't even have a deck of cards.  
I needed some sort of distraction.  Sure, it was just Mom.  But I was 
having some difficulty keeping that straight.

There didn't seem to be anything else to do at that point but turn on 
the t.v.  We had our choice of two broadcast channels, one better than 
the other though both gone fuzzy with distance.  My brain went quickly 
to mush.  It was hard to pay attention because every five minutes the 
show went away so people could try to sell you things.

In the extra long slot between two shows, Mom broke into a series of 
yawns that filled the entire commercial break.  When her mouth finally 
closed, she gave a little laugh.

"Big exciting Friday night for you, huh?  Stuck in your room hanging out 
with your Mom.  Who's quite the life of the party."  She yawned again, 
then gave a great feline stretch.  That was it for the button.  Mom's 
hands flew down to grip the collar as she chortled, "I mean, stuck in 
your room with your Mom who's hanging out!"  She shoved the errant 
button back through its slot.  "Quite the life of the party!"

There came a crowd's roar from over by the primary Women's dorm.  Mom 
stopped in her tracks.  "What in the world is going on out there."

I cringed with my knowledge.  It was a near-nightly occurrence.  The 
chanting grew louder.  Mom cocked an ear and then crawled over the bed 
to get closer to the window.  I hurried to pull the spare blanket 
loosely up to my chest.  I didn't want to just, say, stare over at the 
closet.  But to share her interest meant looking in the direction of her 
interest, but foremost in that line of vision was a rather wonderful 
looking ass in nothing but panties that I was increasingly having 
trouble keeping connected to my Mom.

"Do you think we should call someone?" she turned to ask.

I couldn't imagine who.

"They're shouting something about panting aids, like maybe they've been 
out running too hard and one of them needs a bronchial inhaler."

So to speak!  "Mom," I started cautiously.  I stopped to gain courage.  
"They're a bunch of guys over at the girls' dorm.  What you hear is, 
they're, um, announcing a _panty raid_."

With that, Mom sat up on her haunches, hiding her own.  "Oh, really?  
And what do they do for an encore?  Go back to the Quad and swallow 
goldfish?"

"Well," I nodded my head like a sage, "I have noticed a bit of a time-
lag around this place."

She shook her head and yawned.  The sight made me yawn.  Mom, of course, 
yawned again.  "Aren't we a pair?" she laughed.

"Too much excitement for me."

"Same here . . . I think I'm about ready to hit the sack."

Naturally, I gave Mom the bed.  I had the spare blanket I'd gotten down 
for me.  That and the floor, with the wadding of my pants and shirt for 
a pillow.

We both slept fairly late into the morning.  My sleep was actually more 
like that of a gemstone tumbling around in a stone-polisher.  There were 
moments when I came to rest.  Snuggling in the blanket against the blank 
stone hardness of the linoleum floor.  The early morning was miserable 
for me, but I kept drifting away and forgetting about it, hour by hour.

Then Mom stepped on my toes.  I gave a squeak, but already she was off 
in the shower.  I thought about how I wanted to get clean, too, but the 
linen service provided me with just the one towel, a small towel, what 
would be a very damp towel to dry off with, but then I fell back asleep.

"How did you get so lucky anyway?" 

I groaned and rubbed my eyes in answer.

Mom was back in the room, exuding the scent of a dew-dappled flower.  
Definitely not _my_ shampoo.  She wore nothing but the small towel, the 
knot of it tucked down in her cleavage.  Then the flare of her hips as 
she squatted down, presenting me with a terry-draped hind view while she 
picked through her bag for the day's outfit.

She took clean panties, bra and blouse back to the bathroom, losing the 
towel, returning quickly wearing only these.  "I mean, a private room 
and bath.  How do you rate?"  Mom continued sifting through her luggage.  
So many clothes for such a short stay. 

"I don't know," I managed, straggling to my feet.  "At either end of the 
building they're like this.  At first I thought it was a contingency for 
sensitive losers such as myself.  But lately I think it's just that the 
architects were drunk and made a mistake."

"Cheers!  Lucky for you," Mom laughed.

"Indeed," I replied.  

She had several pairs of pantyhose draped over one arm, while the other 
retrieved skirts from her bag.  A black and white checked one stayed 
held at her waist longer then others, but then the inevitable frown 
crept across her face and she put it back.

"You got that powder blue one?" I asked.

"Hmm?  Huh?  Oh, this?" she bent and fetched it.

"With black hose."

Her face lit up.  "Excellent!  Thank you, David."  

I stood and shrugged, then staggered off to the shower.  I soaped up and 
rinsed off, then made a foamy head of hair that went away in a sudsy 
swirl down the drain.  The hot water made my muscles forget all their 
complaints, so I stood there for awhile longer, nearly melting under the 
spray.  Even my cock began to feel pretty good.  I didn't normally beat-
off in the shower, but I had on several occasions.  From what I'd heard, 
the shower was a common place for that sort of activity, for guys and 
gals.  While I'd been in there barely five minutes, it suddenly seemed 
like an hour.  I was mortified by the thought that Mom might think I was 
in here doing _that_.  In an instant I'd shut of the water, drawn back 
the curtain, and stepped out on the bathmat.  Almost immediately, all my 
muscles began to ache again.  Then I shaved off the sparse stubble on my 
face, leaving me reeking of the manly smell of the cream.  Once I was 
all clean, I was left with the one wet towel.  I tried to dry off, but 
it was to the smell of my Mom.  But more than that, I dried myself by 
rubbing the scent of a clean woman all over my body.

I'd neglected to bring my clothes into the bathroom, and the pair of gym 
trunks wouldn't have been a significant improvement.  I had to wait a 
full five minutes before I could safely step out into the room wearing 
the towel.

I was immediately greeted by the sight of Mom sitting on the edge of the 
bed, legs spread, one extended in the air as she rolled on her 
pantyhose.  Once she had it up past her knee, she set that foot on the 
floor, then lifted the other leg, bent at the knee.  The gesture wasn't 
nearly as flamboyant though it was actually more revealing.  

I'd never understood why women wore panties when they were also planning 
on wearing pantyhose, but at the moment I was glad Mom did.  I scuttled 
over to the dresser and began pawing through my underwear drawer.  As 
always--every few weeks--I blessed the magic drawer.  Something about 
the darkness inside that particular drawer caused my underwear to 
reproduce.  I could be completely out of clean pants and shirts, but I 
could count on a surfeit of socks and briefs.

"Is there a decent luncheonette in town where we could get brunch?" Mom 
interrupted my attempt to match up a pair of socks, " . . . a brunch 
leaning towards lunch?"

"Oh sure," I answered back without looking.  "_Death's Diner_, just the 
place.  Bitchin' burgers, and a grilled cheese sandwich that melts in 
your mouth.  All that sort of stuff."

"Not the place I could expect a good salad, I take it."

"Actually, they have excellent salads.  The name is a nickname, a hold-
over.  The place was bought out by some latter-day hippie couple a 
million years back.  Who were somehow connected with the college.  I'm 
not sure if they're on the 20-year BA program, or if they got their 
degrees but were too stoned to figure their way out of town.  Anyway," I 
turned, then slowed to nearly a stutter.

Mom was standing, working the hose up her thighs.

"I, uh, I mean, they, uh, you know, uh, they got, uh, an organic garden 
out back, and, uh," I steamed ahead, "and so they serve really good 
salads."

"That's great!" Mom answered.  Then she gave a grunt, the hem of her 
skirt going above her waist as she tugged the pantyhose up over her 
hips.

She looked at me looking at her.  "Damn," she growled, in a football-low 
voice, "frankly, there's nothing like dorm-living to flog the modesty 
out of a person."

I just stood there, underpants in hand.  I could hardly beat a retreat 
back into the bathroom.

"Ready when you are," she called brightly.

Thinking quickly, I put on my good shirt, fastening every button to give 
myself more time to think.  Nice long tails on that shirt.  I stepped 
into my underwear and drew them up, remaining fairly decent as that 
action caused the towel to drop.  From there, it was a fairly easy hop 
into my pants.

"Wow!" Mom beamed.  "You know some pretty neat tricks yourself."

I hid my blush bending to pull on my socks.

Fortunately, the diner was just a few old men drinking coffee at the 
counter, and a fat woman in a booth at the back gorging on twin peaks of 
bacon and buttered grits.  Mom didn't have an audience.  Or rather, the 
sparse audience that did exist did not mistake her for anything other 
than my Mom.  I scooted us into the first booth by the front door.

The old waitress the hippies had inherited showed up at our table, 
giving me a quick nod of recognition.  I wasn't exactly a regular, but I 
did come there as often as I could afford.  With a professional smile 
she took our orders, then disappeared.

I thought I was safe, but when she brought our coffees she lingered.

"So, you in town for the big game?" she addressed Mom.

"But of course!  Why else?"

"Heh heh, that's what I figgered."

"Would be a sin to miss it, considering my loins produced the starting 
quarterback."

My her _what?!_ 

"Is that the truth?"  The waitress turned to look me over.  "Really?  
You look a bit scrawny."

I went along.  "Actually, ma'am, I'm not first-string, but they do have 
me starting.  Only because it'll be such an easy win, I reckon."

My musculature seemed to swell with the lie.  She reached down and 
squeezed my biceps.  "Don't sell yourself short, sonny."

She drifted away, shaking her head, but soon enough she returned with 
our platters, staying to chat some more.

"Hon," she addressed Mom, "don't take it wrong, but you look too young 
to have such a fine strapping specimen of a man for a son."

"And don't I know it.  But you know how it goes.  A girl hits that age, 
and suddenly her pussy is doing all the talking.  I know, I should have 
listened to my head, but instead all I heard was _his_ words."  Mom 
dropped her voice low, "_Don't worry baby, I'll pull out before it's too 
late._"

The waitress slapped her hand on the table.  "By god, ain't that the 
truth!  Oh, those sweet-talking young boys!  I was barely fifteen when I 
popped my first one out."

"I was almost eighteen," Mom confided, "but he ruined my womb for any 
more.  Not that I have any regrets," she turned a big smile on me.

"Lucky you!  It took me five more before I had the sense to get those 
tubes snipped.  And heavens, if I hadn't, no doubt I'd have about twenty 
more!"

Finally the bitch left us to our meal.  But not before my appetite had 
fled.

"What were you doing, Frank?"

"Making conversation, sweetheart.  Lying through my teeth.  Stirring in 
a few truths.  This salad _is_ wonderful . . . but are you going to let 
those french fries go cold, or what?"

I gestured, "What's mine is yours."

She snagged a few.  Chewing them, she considered.

"What should we do now?  Go shopping?  Buy you some clothes?"

"Well," I hesitated, "I doubt any store in town has anything I'd really 
want.  Besides, I don't really need any new clothes; I just need to do 
my laundry.  But, if, you know, you want to buy a nightgown or something 
. . . "

"Oh, that's equally ridiculous," Mom retorted.  "To be frank, why spend 
money on something I'll wear just once.  Why don't we just walk around 
the campus instead."

My normal answer would have been _why bother?_  But that something was 
better than any other something I could think of.

A tour of campus was like walking through a museum dedicated to on-site 
examples of bad-architecture-through-the-decades.  The truly weird part 
of it was that I felt like I was giving the grand tour to a hometown 
girlfriend come for a visit.  

We weren't but a storefront from the diner before Mom grabbed my hand in 
hers and started swinging my arm around.  She wouldn't let go.  But she 
wasn't my girlfriend.  I didn't have a girlfriend.  I couldn't imagine 
having a girlfriend with whom I would have such an intimacy of shared 
affinities.  On that ground, even the great giddiness of lust couldn't 
compete with shared genetics.  We giggled together at the sight of the 
hand-lettered sign for _Pops' Hardwear Store_.  A grizzled old man 
covering his pot belly with an old t-shirt emblazoned _Let's Boogie!_  
We were ripe for a roll in the gutter, but fortunately we'd arrived at 
the eastern edge of the hallowed collegiate grounds.  

The Art Deco humanities structure wasn't designed to make you burst out 
laughing, but that's exactly what we did.  While giving you thought that 
perhaps the Decorative was indeed a Dark Force.  It left you hungering 
for austerity and minimalism, an appetite which was immediately 
satisfied, or rectified, by the Cortense steel block of the Science 
building next door.  Once glance at that had you yearning for the 
Rococo.  The beauty of it was accentuated by being surrounded by white 
marble flagging.

Mom was incredulous.  "Are these people not paid to think ahead?  
Frankly, that is an unbelievable touch.  This where they line you up and 
shoot you if your grades fall too low?"

The pooled rust stains on the marble did make it look like the execution 
grounds.

I directed her attention to the lower right of the building, where some 
wit had taken a screwdriver to the steel, scraping a cornerstone of 
sorts into the rust:  _. . . though sometimes less is less.  --Mies van 
der Rohelling in his Grave._

"You do that?" she asked.

"No.  Not that I don't ask myself that very question sometimes."

I gave Mom's hand a squeeze, nodding towards the cantilevered atrocity 
that housed the library.  "Look--the Mothership has landed."

"_Jesus!_" she shook her head.  "Frank Lloyd _Wrong_."  

Even the new Arts building, barely five years old, looked old and 
haggard and based on third-rate misconceptions.  And that was where the 
first fifteen minutes of my lifelong fame was slated to begin.

But not for another hour.

We skirted around it and continued up the hill.  Suddenly we were in the 
midst of a small scenic incline.  Plush grass crossed by cobblestone 
footpaths.  Huge old oaks towered overhead, the leafy fruit of their 
limbs letting a lovely dappling of sunlight play on the ground.  Up on 
the head of the hill was the cut-stone building that was the original 
college.  Anymore it was mostly storage and offices for clericals too 
lowly to merit decent heat and central air.  But you couldn't really 
tell that from this distance.  If you didn't continue up the rise you 
wouldn't see the parking lots, and beyond that the stretch of strip-mall 
past campus.

"So this is it," Mom declared.

"The good life?" I queried.

"The one angle where they shot every photo for their brochure.  Seems 
like we should be able to sue them for false advertising."

Mom was getting worked up, but really, she did have a point.  We 
continued up to the crest of the hill, at which point the old college 
building suddenly turned into a decrepit pile of stone shit awaiting the 
Walmart wrecking ball.

We stood there for some minutes, enjoying the breeze, if not the view, 
afforded by being at the top of this small town's world.  Mom gave my 
hand a squeeze, then dropped it to wander a few steps away.  With her 
back to me she wondered aloud, "Where are all the people?"

I listened to the leaves whispering at the tops of the trees before 
answering.  "Warming their seats in the stands, I imagine."

>From the stature of her back, she seemed to consider this.  Then she 
pivoted.  "I'm sorry.  I mean, frankly, this really is the wrongest 
place in the world for you, isn't it?"

"Oh . . . it's okay," I lied.

Mom stared at me.  "Okay isn't enough."

"Okay is paid for," I replied.

We stood like that for several minutes, not quite face to face.  Then 
she turned completely, and the wind blew a large hank of her hair 
sideways, obscuring her face.  "So . . . what's next?"

I glanced across the way, to the tall bell tower of a church several 
blocks away.  The clockface hadn't budged a minute past 10:47 in all the 
months I'd seen it.  "Well.  Probably about time for me to go have my 
date with destiny, I suppose."

 A brass band was playing as we went up the walk to the Arts building.  
Right as we reached the doors, we were greeted by the roar of the crowd.  
We chuckled together.  Kick-off was right on time.  

Immediately inside a double set of doors was the grand foyer, which 
served as the college's gallery.  It was a nice area, very spacious, 
wonderful walls, the attendant track lighting an oddly professional 
touch.

We stopped directly inside, halted by the vacuum hiss as the second 
doors closed behind us.  Then we were enveloped in total silence.  The 
two of us were alone.  The madness of my paintings surrounded us, 
looking almost frail when laid out against the tall white walls.  

In the middle of the room was a collapsible cafeteria table, lacking 
even a paper tablecloth.  It held a small splayed pile of the 
photocopied posters for the show on one end.  Next to it was a small 
stack of paper napkins.  In the middle was an opened box of Ritz 
crackers, a styrofoam plate bearing a plastic knife and a gnawed 12 oz. 
bar of store-brand cheddar cheese, and an unsealed fifth of cheap 
California white wine.  It wasn't quite Gallo, but nor did it require a 
cork.  Half a dozen plastic cups.  On the far end was a torn piece of 
notebook paper, which on closer inspection bore a familiar jagged 
scrawl.  _At the game--Best wishes--Jack._

Mom spent nearly an hour studying the paintings, then asking questions, 
draping praise on my pitiful frame.  After that, we stood around and ate 
crackers and cheese and drank all the wine.

Eventually another person did show up.  It was the janitor, come to kick 
us out so he could lock up.  Mom was recalcitrant.  She insisted on 
using the Women's room first, then strayed over to a bank of payphones, 
studying the phone book before placing a call.

Once we were outside, Mom grabbed my hand and tugged.  "Come on!  We 
have to fly like the wind.  We beat the post-game dinner rush.  _Pizza 
Pete's_ promised me a pie delivered to your door in fifteen minutes."

As we walked back to my room, Mom swooped an arm around my waist and 
swept us so close our butts were knocking as we walked.  

"You know," she began, "I've made some inquiries."

"What, back there, on the phone?  Setting me up on a date with one of 
_Randy's_ randiest that I don't even want?"

She _banged_ her hip against mine.  "Stop it.  I'm serious.  I'm trying 
to help you.  I've been in contact with that Art Academy back home.  I 
picked out half a dozen canvases you had in your room and took them down 
for a portfolio.  I apologize for the breach of privacy, but I do want 
to make it understood I'm not trying to run your life.  Do what you 
want.  But the Academy wants to give you a pretty free ride.  Semester 
here is almost over.  Bail out while you can.  You could come back home 
to get your bearings.  We could turn your bedroom into a studio."

Too much information all at once!  "But where would I sleep?"

Mom waved me away, "We'd figure something out, don't worry.  Go to Art 
School, you'll wind up with your own apartment, and a girlfriend worth 
the having.  Better deal than this."

All this was true and right and, actually, it was great to have someone 
else do all the thinking about it for me.  I managed to convey that, as 
well as the fact that I wanted to wait to think about it another day.

Half an hour later, we'd settled into a long evening of pizza and t.v.  
It really was the sort of mindless indulgence I needed most at the 
moment.  I wasn't one to bake my brains in front of the tube, so there 
was the novelty of it all as well.  There wasn't much point in watching 
t.v.--the set could pick up only that pair of rolly snowy channels, both 
of which seemed to show nothing but re-runs of stupid sitcoms.

"Don't you get cable?" Mom finally asked.

"Naw.  I mean, I could.  I'm probably the only one who doesn't."

"Why not?"

"I would have had to double my hours at the library to pay for it.  
Besides, I'm not that interested in it.  I've watched more these two 
nights than in the past two months."

"Really?  Hmmm . . . so what do you do with yourself every evening 
instead?"

I nearly gave myself away with a snort.  _Boy stuff_.  "I'm usually over 
at the studio," I lied.  "Or I hang out here and draw or read.  Uhh, 
_study_, that's right.  Oh yea, study, lots of studying.  You know, in 
college, whole bunch of that study stuff."

Mom let it go at that.  She stood up and walked over to the closet.

"Uh, Frank, you looking for something?"

"Don't worry," she called back, "I'm not going to dig through your dirty 
laundry."  She opened the door and reached in, quickly retrieving a pair 
of hangers.  I watched her, fascinated.  Whatever it was she was doing 
was more interesting than what the people on t.v. were doing.  Walking 
back, Mom was pulling the hangers out of shape; then she untwisted them 
completely.  She took them and fiddled around at the back of the set, 
connecting the hangers to the t.v., using it as a base for an odd 
looking bit of free standing sculpture.  

The reception improved dramatically, not that that made for any real 
improvement.  I hadn't been paying attention, so I didn't understand the 
context.  But there was a woman scolding a dog, "_Bad boy_, Fluffy!" 
while a man stood behind her running through a retinue of sheepish 
facial expressions.  Perhaps he had been the one to soil the carpet.  
The situation of the comedy must have been a beach house with all the 
windows open; waves of mechanical laughter crashed upon the shore.

With that, Mom came around, grabbed the flannel shirt off the back of 
the desk chair, then turned towards the bathroom.  "Pardon me a moment 
while I go get comfortable.  To be frank, well, being a boobless person, 
you'll never quite understand what sort of torture a bra can become.

When she returned, visibly wearing nothing but the shirt and her 
panties, she immediately came and wrapped herself in my bed--the spare 
blanket folded at the end of the real bed.  Then Mom leaned over and 
fiddled with the channel dials--suddenly we were getting a UHF station 
from our city.  And a crystal clear picture.  It was right past the 
hour, and the Movie of the Week was just getting underway.  The opening 
shot was of a tone-arm dropping onto a 45 single.

			Come with me/to the sea
			To the sea/of love

I cringed.  I knew what would be coming.  There'd been a fairly stern 
Parental Advisory, so maybe they wouldn't cut out Ellen Barkin's tits.  
I looked over at Mom; she was engrossed, swaddled in the blanket.  We 
watched the movie through the big bedroom scene.  By that point I was 
thoroughly uncomfortable.  Right at the climax, one of the hangers 
suddenly clattered to the floor.  We both jumped.  

The picture was instantly fuzzy.  Mom reached over and turned down the 
sound.  "Do you mind?  It's all blood and guts after this.  Whew, 
though.  Frankly, that was pretty steamy by network standards.  I was 
wondering how they'd handle it.  I thought they might cut the scene 
entirely."

"So," I ventured, "you've seen this?"

"When it first came out.  I _love_ Al Pacino.  And Barkin's pretty sexy, 
for a blonde.  Very distinctive looking.  I take it you've seen it 
before as well?"

"On video, last year ago or so."

Mom smirked a little.  "Just imagine, then, how hot she looks when her 
tits are ten feet across."

"Well, yea," I faked a shrug, "while you sit there with your feet 
sticking to the floor wanting to vomit from the smell of yellow-flavored 
popcorn."

She gave a snort, and then we vaguely returned to the magic screen.  It 
was pretty great:  we couldn't really see what was going on and we 
couldn't really hear what was going on.  Someone seemed to fly across a 
room, grunting.  There were splashes of red, it seemed.

Mom nudged me.  "So, are you disappointed?"

"Are you kidding?  What a great movie; pity about the reception.  Best 
t.v. I've watched in this room ever."

She bonked me on the head.  "You know what I'm talking about.  Today . . 
. "

I rolled my shoulders.  "Hmm?  Naw, not really."

"You sure?" she gave my upper arm a brief, brisk rub.

I considered the question again.  Was I really being honest?  I nodded 
in affirmation.  "Yup.  That's the beauty of diminished expectations."

"Frankly, David, that's probably not the best attitude to carry around 
with you in life.  It's really the mark of a bitter old man."

"I know, I know."

"No no, none of this _I know, I know_ business.  I'm serious.  You 
should expect the best, otherwise you'll never meet up with it."

"I know, I know," I grinned.  "But in this specific instance it seemed 
like a good idea to be prepared.  The conspiracy of circumstances.  
What's one skinny guy with a brush compared to a field full of big 
bruisers with a funny shaped ball, huh?  No contest."  I thought some 
more.  "But that even Jerk McAffee didn't show, yea.  That does leave a 
bitter taste in my mouth.  Though not as bitter as that godawful wine."

Just the thought made me want to brush my teeth.  So I stood up to go do 
that, snagging my gym shorts on the way.  It'd been a long day and I was 
getting tired.  I wasn't going to watch the rest of the movie, not 
sitting up on Mom's bed.  However much my bones creaked at the thought, 
I wanted nothing more than to be flat on the floor, rolled up in the 
extra blanket.

When I returned, in just the shorts and the same t-shirt, with breath 
minty fresh, I sat on the edge of the bed just long enough to establish 
my presence.  Then I tugged at a loose corner of the blanket surrounding 
Mom.  "Can I have my bed back now?  I'm sorry to be the party-pooper 
tonight, but I really want to lay down."

She gave me a perplexed look.  "Go right ahead."

"Um," I glanced at the floor, "there's my mattress, but," looking back 
up, "you're sort of wearing my covers."

"You're not sleeping on the floor tonight," she stated, surprising me 
completely.  "Not after you've spent the whole day bent over and limping 
along like a hunchbacked cripple.  Frankly, that's nonsense.  It'll be a 
might cozy, but you're sleeping in the bed tonight."

"No no no," I protested.

"Okay, then," Mom replied.  "You have the bed, and _I'll_ sleep on the 
floor."

There was no way I was going to have Mom sleep on the floor.  "There's 
no way I'll allow you to sleep on the floor."

"Then I guess it's settled," she answered primly.

I looked at the bed, gauging its measurements . . . I supposed that, 
technically, it was feasible to share the bed.  I'd take the outside, so 
that if someone had to be rudely dumped on the floor in the middle of 
the night . . . "Okay," I sighed.  "Whatever."  Every muscle in my body 
whimpered in delight.

"You poor thing," she continued, "you've been hobbling around like an 
old man all day."  Mom reached over and turned off the t.v., then leaned 
and pushed at me.  "Lay down; time for some scratchy-back."

My god, _scratchy-back!_  I acquiesced without a sound, dutifully 
rolling over on my stomach.  My spine rippled with the memories of 
endless hours of pleasure.  It'd been years since some antediluvian part 
of my brain had firmly announced:  _Only sissy boys let their Moms rub 
their backs!_  What a bunch of hormonal foolishness, I thought melting 
against the mattress in anticipation.  Not only could Mom scratch 
without a single tickle, but then she had baker's hands--she could turn 
the crustiest stale lump of muscle back into fresh pliant dough.

"Don't you remember?" she tugged a tent at my back--"_shirt off_."

"Sorry," came my muffled reply.  I crossed my arms under me and reached 
for the hem, rolling the shirt over my head without otherwise moving.  
_Skin-to-skin, to begin_ her voice sang in a back part of my brain.

"Nice trick, Davey," she patted my bare back.  My skin undulated at the 
touch.

Then Mom set to work.  She hadn't had me to practice on, but she 
certainly had not lost her touch.  I was aboard the Bullet Train to 
heaven.  My back rippled like a cat's, my butt twitching as if I had a 
tail.  

"Mmmm, this feel good?"

I sort of groaned.

"You haven't let me do this in a long time."

Her hands were masterful.  I was too gone to reply.

"Forgot what you've been missing?" she hummed.

Mom's hands soon had the firm mountainous terrain of my back reduced to 
a lowlands, a vast flat of quivering mud.  When she hit the small of my 
back I was ready to take the pen from St. Peter and sign the guestbook.  
The problem, then, was that down there the sore muscles always continued 
down into your butt, the waistband of whatever you happened to be 
wearing being a line of demarcation; satisfaction could never be 
complete.

This time, though, Mom's hands continued down over the fabric.  The 
natural line of progression to the backs of my thighs, and eventually my 
calves.  My toes were turning with the full pleasure of it all.  She 
took her fingers all the way to play with the toes.

Then she gave a light slap to my ass.  "Okay, time to turn over.  Gotta 
get the fronts of your thighs."

Those broad muscles could always benefit from a rub-down, but no way 
could I roll over!  All that sensuality, and being pressed against the 
mattress . . . I had a big problem I didn't want to share with Mom.

"That's okay," I grunted, "that's fine.  That's good enough."

"Oh no, _come on!_  Frankly, if I start a job, I finish it.  Full 
satisfaction guaranteed, and all that."

"Oh no, no, no.  That's enough, thank-you."

Mom playfully poked her fingers into my sides.  "Roll over, _or else!_"

"No-o-o!  You don't understand!" I shrieked into the pillow.  "I've got 
a _problem_."

Too late.  Mom's fingers zapped me in the symmetrical spots at the sides 
of my ribs, and I became a powerless sack of giggles.  She rolled me 
over with ease, then sat fully down straddling one of my thighs.

The front of my gym trunks wasn't just a large bulge, it was a bulge 
that visibly pulsated, the plum of the head poking out from the 
waistband just to make everything perfectly clear.

Mom considered the sight with a slight frown.  The seconds lingered like 
hours, allowing me to fully cherish the most horrifying moment of my 
life.  I thought I was going to be sick.  I truly wanted to die, to die 
and be buried with my disgrace.

The frown on her face deepened into a scowl.  "Frankly, Davey, I do 
understand."

She understood that the sweet baby boy she'd given birth to had grown up 
into a monster!

But then I felt a finger trace up the full length of the bulge, 
tightening the fabric even more.  A whole handful of fingers met 
twirling around the plumpness of the head.

Oh . . . my . . . god.

"It's not that difficult a problem," Mom proclaimed in a low voice.  
"Frankly, it's one of the easiest problems in the world to dispense 
with."  Her other hand arrived, tugging down at the elastic band until 
the first could get a firm grip on my shaft.  My shorts were somehow 
shunted down below my knees.

_OHMYGOD._

Slowly, surely, Mom pumped my cock.  "I refuse to believe you don't know 
how to take care of this yourself."

"I do," I groaned.

With that, she let go.  "Okay."  Leaving me, apparently, to my own self-
proclaimed devices.

"No," I moaned.

"No what?" Mom replied.

No what, indeed.  No I didn't want to jerk off in front of her?  Or more 
to the point, no I didn't want her wonderful hand replaced by my clumsy 
own?

"No, _please_ don't stop."

I was graced again by her touch.  And just the simple _touch_ of someone 
else was enough to drive me wild.  I was blinded by desire.  I barely 
cared that it was Mom doing this to me.  I was so grateful that 
_somebody_ was doing this to me.  Hardly anything _could_ register in 
the shadow of the vast pure pleasure melting my senses.  I closed my 
eyes simply to give in, focus all the more.  

I was _whimpering_.  

I was a writhing puddle of nonsense as my orgasm majestically built.  
Mom must have sense the impending glory; she tightened her grip and 
jacked all the harder.

Right as I readied to blow, the miracle hand vanished.  My cock stood 
naked, jutting up in the air, swaying in the breeze, a pole without its 
flag.

I almost started crying.

The lightest brush of a finger against my inner thigh, and I just about 
jumped through the roof.  I opened my eyes to see Mom smiling down at 
me.  Her fingers continued dusting the bare baby-smooth skin of my 
uppermost legs.  Each touch nearly made me come.  Every muscle in my 
body was quivering.  So slowly I slid a half-step back from the peak.  
Then a pinkie finger reached up to give my sack the slightest tap.  
Mom's smile broadened to show teeth, and then she shot me an evil look.

I was vaguely aware of the warm press of her crotch against my thigh.  
How where her legs met against my leg, the press of flesh was so hot the 
meeting seemed damp with sweat.  

All her fingers joined in to jostle my balls, those of her right hand 
eventually leaving, rising, curling again around my cock.  She gave a 
squeeze and I was instantly so thoroughly hard it almost hurt.  Gripping 
me tightly, Mom began pumping me at a leisurely pace, her other hand 
stroking the whole of my scrotum in a matching rhythm.

Within a minute time slammed on its brakes; the ecstasy of that first 
load of sperm ground up through my cock at glacial speed.  There was no 
sound, no other motion.  Then I was watching it shoot high in the air, 
describing an arc.  It splattered against Mom's cheek.  With the impact, 
everything shifted back fast and loud.

Mom was giving giggly little huffs as the fist around my cock turned 
into a blur.  Her other hand was a cocoon around the whole of my 
scrotum, squeezing and tugging while I erupted in spasm after spasm.  I 
lay there, nearly in disbelief at the intensity and duration.  Squirming 
and groaning like a run-over dog, like a dog that's gone dreaming.

On the downslide, I sank deep into the bed with exhaustion.  There 
didn't seem to be a functioning muscle left in my body.  All my 
cognitive processes were fried.  Mom sat there beaming down at me.  "My 
goodness."  Her one hand gave my balls a gentle little rub, "I bet that 
felt great!"  Then she withdrew that hand, raising it to wipe the milky 
tear from her cheek.  She used her index finger to sweep it down to the 
corner of her mouth, following in and sucking it clean.  

Then she scooped her other hand up the length of my cock until it was 
free of me.  Still clenched, her hand looked like she'd let an ice cream 
cone melt all over it.  I expected her to just smear all the stuff on 
the sheet, but instead, she bent her head and _licked it all off_.

This was _too_ much.  My cock gave a twitch.

Mom dropped her gaze to my crotch.  "I sure made a mess.  Didn't I?  I 
expect you would have used some tissues or something, right?  My mess," 
she looked at me under her brows, "so I better clean it up."  She bent 
down and began working with her tongue.

My cock lurched and strained.  This was the closest it'd ever come to a 
blow-job.  I felt the familiar tingle return as Mom lapped me clean.  
The slight sag to my cock was quickly reversed, and it was soon 
throbbingly hard.  

"David!  Don't you know anything?  Let me be frank with you about this:  
after you come, you're _supposed_ to get _soft_."

"I can't help it," I moaned.

"Well, then, maybe I can."  Mom seemed to pause in her thinking, then 
she murmured, "Oh, what the hell."  She slid over to the side of the bed 
and stood up.

_Oh, what the hell_ what? I was wondering.

She did a little dance, at the end of which her panties were on the 
floor.  Before I could even think about that, she reached over and 
finished drawing down my drawers.  Then she regained her seat on my 
thigh, her right hand coming to rest capping my cock. 

She wiggled me around and laughed.  "I feel like I'm driving a stick-
shift."

While I was glad Mom was having such a good time, I really couldn't 
think of any response.

She giggled some more.  "So, how often do you take this guy for a drive 
anyway?"

"I don't know," I grunted.

"Okay.  Let's rephrase that.  When was the last time you masturbated?  
Tell the truth!"  Mom took her hand away and left me standing alone.

"Oh, _please!_  Oh god.  Last weekend, I guess."

"Really?" she looked impressed.  "Such restraint!"  She let one hand 
lightly brush my cock while the other slunk between her legs.  "Frankly, 
I like to play with myself nearly every night."

"Well," I squeaked, "I've been pretty busy this week."

She leaned down to whisper, "Why do you think I was so quick to hop into 
the shower this morning?"  The part of her she'd been touching was sort 
of rubbing up and down the part of me she'd been touching.  "I waited 
until I heard you go into sleep-breathing.  And then when I woke up this 
morning I was ready for more.  You were tossing and turning a lot, but I 
managed to bring myself off anyway.  Are you sure you're being honest?"

"I was saving it up.  Just in case.  You know.  The featured 
presentation.  Big Artman on Campus.  I thought maybe I might get 
lucky."

"Lucky?" she teased me.  "What do you mean by lucky?  How lucky?"

With that, Mom swiveled her pelvis, scooted back a bit, and suddenly my 
cock was sinking into a sheath of sensations more wonderful than 
anything I had ever imagined.

The room went silent but for my suspiration of pure pleasure.  Mom sat 
there on top of me, holding me in the warm, nearly liquid clench of her 
sex, gazing down at me with a defiantly proud look.

"So," she eventually spoke, breaking the spell, "I was right.  You _are_ 
cherry."

"How . . . how . . . how," I stammered.

She reached down and stroked the side of my face.  "Because your cheeks 
are cherry-red and your eyes are cherry-round."

At that, Mom sat back, her eyes closing as she lifted herself slightly 
up and down my shaft.  I lay there beneath her, arms at my side, 
completely still except for a fluttering in my hands.  I . . . didn't 
know what to do.  Whether I should do anything.  

"God, Frank, this feels _great_."

"_Very_ nice," Mom murmured.  Her eyes opened to slits.  "I'll just do 
you, if you'd like.  But frankly, you are allowed to participate.  You 
might find that makes it all the more exciting."  She gave her head a 
toss, her hair describing a breeze, then started swaying side to side.  
"Don't be shy, David.  We _are_ having sex--you can touch me all you 
want.  Feel free to touch me anywhere you want."

My hands stood up on their fingertips, and like trembly spiders began to 
crawl up along her thighs to her waist.  Mom smiled, glanced down at her 
front, then looked at me with a false pout.  "Stupid shirt."  

She thrust out her chest, and _pop_ went that button, loosed from the 
last bit of thread.  It flew through the air and rattled away somewhere 
on the floor.  Neither of us looked to see where it had landed.  
"_Superboobs!_" Mom gave a chuckle.  "Guess we won't be needing that 
button anymore anyway."

While I could see much more of her breasts, they weren't completely 
spilling out.  Mom leaned down, accentuating her generous cleavage, and 
made a breathy request.  "Davey, why don't you undo the rest?"

I . . . I . . . I nodded.  

There were only the two or three at the very bottom, but it took me ages 
to get them.  Part of it was how peculiar it was trying to manipulate 
buttons from this foreign angle.  Mostly, though, my fingers seemed to 
have swollen to the size of bratwursts.

When at length I was done, Mom shook her shoulders; the shirt slid down 
her arms, then she pulled her hands free of the sleeves.  I lay there in 
shock.  The brief glimpses of my old sort-of girlfriend had hardly 
registered in my memory.  The occasional sight of strangers in scanty 
clothing had given me no clue.  The innumerable bosoms I'd seen in dirty 
magazines had done nothing to prepare me for the beauty of the breasts I 
now beheld.  My shock was redoubled as her hands came up to cup their 
undersides.

"If you think my tits are pretty to look at, you should try playing with 
them."  Her upper lip lifted off her front teeth in a play of a smile.  
"Especially since I really like it so much."  Mom dropped her hands from 
her breasts to my stomach, where they slithered up to my nipples, the 
thumbs and forefingers toying and twisting the little nubs.

I followed her example, so amazed that I actually had my hands on a pair 
of real breasts.

"_Very nice_.  Use your other fingers to stroke their fullness.  Stop 
and squeeze the whole of them lightly if you like.  That always feels 
_so_ good."

After a few minutes, Mom pulled up and leaned down, still keeping the 
last of my cock inside of her while sweeping her breasts across my face, 
slowing the motion as she crooned, "Suck me, Davey.  Suck on me."  Her 
voice deepened to a low whisper, "There's a direct line between my 
nipples and my pussy--put the phone to your mouth and make me call."

It'd been how many years since I'd had a nipple in my mouth?  Still, 
some part of my backbrain knew exactly what to do.  Mom purred, holding 
my head with her hands as she stretched out as best she could, trying to 
sink more of my cock back inside her.  She began to shiver all over, 
making mewling sounds deep in her throat.  Then with a sharp cry she 
jerked down, driving her cunt completely around me, mashing her breasts 
against my chest as she chewed on my shoulder, her whole body seized up 
in spasms.

Gradually Mom's body softened, forming on top of mine as some warm 
liquid lump of flesh.  When her breathing evened out, she pushed herself 
up on her arms.  Staring straight in my eyes from inches away, her head 
sort of wobbled in pronouncement.  "Frankly, David, I haven't come 
_that_ hard in _ages_."  She slowly reared back up on her haunches.  "I 
hope you don't mind, but right now I _really_ feel like fucking your 
lights out."

She made it sound almost like some sort of torture.

And it was.  _Exquisite_ torture.  She slowly slid herself all the way 
up, lingering, her pussy lips sort of kissing the crown of my cock, and 
then--fast!--she slammed all the way down.  U-u-up u-up up; then down!  
About every fourth or fifth time down, she just sat there, her cunt like 
a fist pumping my cock.

But then Mom's breath started coming hard and fast and she lowered 
herself again, her mouth all over my face, her tongue a frantic animal.

"Grab my ass," she hissed, "grab my ass and squeeze it _hard!_"

I did just that, over and over as her pelvis gave up the distance and 
just ground against mine, over and over, my tongue as feral as hers, 
lips colliding in desperation, over and over, nipping teeth and fingers 
gripping, over and over until screams filled the room and we both went 
over.

We lay there, laughing and sobbing, in a sprawl of limbs, our genitals 
gasping.  Slowly we rolled on our sides, separating only to draw even 
closer, our arms and legs tangling us together all the tighter.

"My god," Mom whispered, "what was that?"

I hadn't recovered my breath, much less my senses, to answer verbally.  
Instead, I nuzzled my way into the cleft between her neck and shoulder 
and bit her very lightly.  Her entire body shuddered in response.

I drew my face back up close to hers, the breath from my lips on hers.  
"Frankly, my dear . . . "

Mom cuddled up tight against me.  "Best answer," she murmured, "best 
answer."
