Chapter 10

“Wake up sleepy head,” he whispered in her ear as his hands found and squeezed her nipples. The morning found their naked bodies entwined.

Gwen’s eyes opened and she was instantly aware of the events of the night before. Racked with guilt, she was determined to somehow bring order back into their lives.

“Daniel, we have to talk,” she said as she arose, put on a gown and headed for the door.

“Or you could just come back to bed,” he said smiling.

“That’s what got us into what happened last night. I ... I need to make us some tea so we can talk.”

“Bring it back up here, okay?”

“Well, all right, but we really do need to talk.”

As she waited for the tea to brew, Gwen rehearsed what she wanted to say to her son, that they both had lost control and that it must never happen again.

Carrying the two cups up the stairs, she was startled to enter the bedroom and find Daniel lying on the bed naked, legs spread eagled, hands behind his head.

“Please,” she said offering a cup to the boy/man, “It’s going to be hard enough to say what I have to say without distractions.”

“You didn’t seem too distracted last night.”

“About that, I don’t know what came over me. I can understand a boy of seventeen...”

“Man, mother. I think we can both agreed I’m a man now.”

“Yes ... you certainly are. Okay then a man of seventeen losing control, but I’m a married woman ... and I’m your mother for god sakes!”

“And I thought we determined that didn’t matter. Last night you took me to the moon ... no, to Jupiter and back!”

“But, Daniel, don’t you see. We can’t let ourselves lose control like that. We have to go back to a relationship of mother and son.”

“Why? You said you belonged to me now.”

“That was in the throes of passion.”

“And wow, what passion that was.”

“Passion which should be reserved for your father.”

“Who we both know can’t appreciate you as I can. I dare say he also can’t satisfy you as I can.”

“I won’t lie. I’ve never been satisfied like that in my life.”

“Then... ?”

“I have an obligation to your father.”

“He’s a good man, but he doesn’t deserve a woman like you.”

“You flatter me.”

“No, like you, I won’t lie. You are special mother. A special woman and a special lover. It’s why I want you.”

“But ... I do want you Daniel, but I feel I have other obligations that I should fulfill. I ... I just don’t know what to do.”

“It’s simple. Do we become lovers, or do we go back to the way it was?”

The look in Gwen’s eyes told Daniel how conflicted she was.

“I’ll make it a bit easier for you,” he said. “I have to go the bathroom. While I’m gone make your decision. If the answer is no and you want things to go back to mom/son, get dressed. When I return I’ll see you fully dressed, know your answer and I’ll return to my room and we will forget last night ever happened. But if the answer is yes, then I want you to greet me naked and ready to continue our adventure. Dad will never know and both of us will get what we really want.”

She started to reply but he was already closing the bathroom door behind him.

Now the dilemma really struck home. Could she live a lie with her husband while committing incest with he own son, or could she give up what was undeniably the most wonderful sex she had ever experienced? Her mind raced. Daniel would be returning any moment. She must decide.

Walking back into the room Daniel was puzzled for his mother stood in the middle of the room not clothed, but wearing a dressing gown.

“I don’t understand,” he said.

“Neither do I,” she replied, opening the gown and letting it fall to the floor revealing her nude body to the boy/man to whom she had just committed herself. “Take me, Daniel, OH GOD, TAKE ME!!!”
