Bab 1169: LOVE CRUISE
By clicking submit I was setting in motion an event that would change the lives of two people, my mother, and myself. I had just booked us two tickets in a first class cabin on a cruise for mothers and sons. But this wasn't any ordinary cruise. This cruise was for mothers and sons who were also lovers. But there was just one problem. My mother and I weren't lovers, my mother didn't even know how I truly felt about her. I'd been in love with my mother perhaps all my life, but I'd known ever without a shadow of a doubt ever since I learned what love was between a man and a woman and when I discovered that there were others like me who had actually become lovers with their mothers I was determined that one day I would tell my mother how I truly feel about her. I was convinced that if I could get her on the ship I could change all of that and the first step involved calling Mom at work and telling her about the trip.
"J & P Consulting. Kim speaking."
"Hi Mom."
"Oh hello Mike, this is a pleasant surprise. To what do I owe the honour?"
"Mom you've done so much for me over the years that I want to show you just how much that means to me and how important you are to me."
"Oh Mike, just hearing you say that is all I'll ever need."
"No, it's not enough. I want to take you on a trip. A two week tropical cruise where you can let all your cares just melt away."
"Well that does sound nice, and I do have some vacation time built up." This was beginning to sound like it would be easier then I expected.
"Great, cause I've already booked us the tickets."
"Feeling confident I see." Mom said with a giggle that sent a warm fuzzy feeling through my body.
"I just know that you deserve this."
"Alright, I'll see you at home and you can tell me all about this trip."
After Mom had hung up I couldn't help but smile. But this was only the first step, and an easy one really and I couldn't get over confident If I was going to make this work I needed to start the seduction process now and thankfully I'd already made plans for that because tonight I would be cooking Mom the most amazing dinner she had ever had. I could only hope that our phone call was a sign of how things were going to go.
When Mom came home from work I was just pulling supper out of the oven. While we ate I told her all the details that I could about trip, leaving out the whole lovers part. As I shared with her all the details that I could, Mom's excitement for the trip grew and grew and soon she seemed to match my own excitement about the trip, if maybe not for entirely the same reasons. With her growing excitement, my hopes grew for my chances of making this all happen.
That weekend Mom and I headed out to the mall early in the morning to do some shopping for our trip. Our first stop was to buy some new luggage as it had been quite some time since we'd travelled. Then we headed over to the swim shop to pick out some new swimsuits for the trip.
When we walked into the swim shop I was surprised to find the place empty except for the three young female sales staff. It was early in the day, but still the place should have had at least a few customers with swimsuit season fast approaching. As Mom and I split up to go to our respective sections, the three girls all moved over to the counter and it became clear why the place was empty. It didn't take me long to find a few pairs of shorts that I wanted to try on and as I moved towards the girls to inquire about a changing room what I heard made my blood run cold. I was standing behind a rather tall rack of clothes so they had no idea I was standing there.
"Did you see that fat cow looking at the Angelwear bikinis?" One of them said.
"Does she really think that she's going to squeeze that body in to one of those suits?" Another one of them said.
"She should try the hardware store, they sell tarps there." The third one said, causing them all to laugh.
"I just hope that she doesn't find any of the suits we've pulled the tags off." The second one said.
"I doubt she'll go anywhere near those sizes, if she can even find her size." The third one said.
"Just make sure you get them off the racks when she leaves and before the rest of her herd wanders in here." The second one told them.
That was the point when I had heard enough and stepped in to view. The way they looked at me and fluttered their eyelashes made me want to vomit. It was sick to think that they believed just because they had youth on their side that they were automatically better looking then others and I was determined to bring them down a notch or two.
"Did you want to try those on?" The first girl asked, her name tag identifying her as Ashley.
"Actually I was looking to speak to a manager." I replied. The second girl who's name tag identified her as Stacy stepped forward.
"I'm the manager, is there something I can do for you?"
"Yes, you can get your boss for me because my issue is with you as well." To my shock, they still didn't seem to realize what was happening.
"I'm sorry, my boss isn't here today."
"Well then I suggest you get her here right now because I'm not going anywhere until I speak to her."
At this point, Ashley and the other girl seemed to realize there was a problem and had moved down to the other end of the sales counter where they were watching and whispering to each other. Stacy turned and picked up the phone and dialled a number from memory, waited for someone to pick up and then spoke. After receiving a reply, she handed the receiver to me.
"My boss would like to speak to you."
"Hello?" I said after taking the receiver from her.
"My name is Sue Wong, I am the store owner. I've been told you wish to speak to me?"
"Yes, but I would appreciate it if I could speak to you in person as it concerns the future of your store."
"I'll be there in ten minutes. Now would you please put Stacy back on the phone please."
"She'd like to speak to you." I said as I handed the receiver back to Ashley. Her boss must have given her direct instructions as Ashley hung up and the first thing she did was go and close the security gates on the store front before joining her friends. At this moment Mom appeared and stood at my side.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"I'm just teaching some stuck up teens a lesson in respect. Nothing to worry about but follow my lead okay?" Mom just shrugged and stood there.
Ten minutes later on the dot the security gate opened and in walked a short Asian woman followed by a mall security guard who locked the gate behind him. Sue was dressed smartly in a custom tailored suit and she clearly meant all business.
"I'm assuming that you are the gentleman to whom I spoke to on the phone?" She said as she approached me.
"I am and I appreciate your coming down here on such short notice."
"Well let me tell you sir, I do not take kindly to having my time wasted so I hope that you have a good reason for bringing me down here. You said something about the future of my store?"
"Well I thought you would like to know that your staff are stealing from you. After hearing them refer to my girlfriend here as a fat cow and joking about her wearing a tarp as a bathing suit, I also overheard them talking about removing Angelwear bikinis from the racks that they had already removed the security tags from."
Sue was moving the moment I was finished and it didn't take long for her to find what she was looking for.
"Stacy! Amber! Ashley! Front and center, now!" She yelled and all three girls moved quickly to stand in front of her. None of them were looking up, having finally realized what was going on.
"Any of you want to explain these?" Sue said as she held the de-tagged suits in her hand. None of them even looked up, remaining silent.
"Really? None of you have anything to say? Maybe save their jobs? Perhaps this isn't all of it, maybe if I check your bags I'll find more of my property. Go and get them, now!" Sue motioned to the security guard, who followed the girls in to the back room. When they returned they were instructed to dump the contents of their bags on the floor in front of them. Sure enough, along with personal affects, bathing suits and accessories fell out of their bags, some still with the price tags on them.
"Just as I thought. Now pick up your things and then I want each of you to apologize to these people and I just might consider not pressing charges."
After picking up their stuff, each girl came up and apologized to Mom and I before being escorted out of the store and presumably out of the mall by the security guard. Sue followed them to the front of the store and locked the security gate behind them before turning back to us.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through all that, Stacy was such a wonderful employee when I hired her that I didn't think anything of promoting her to shift supervisor. When she asked me to hire her friends I thought I was going to get two more wonderful employees."
"Well sometimes we think we know someone until they show that we don't." Mom said. I worried at that moment how things would be between us if this all went wrong.
"Well to show my appreciation for what you've done I would like to offer you fifty percent off your purchase today. Tell me, what brings you out to my store today?"
"We're shopping for a cruise." Mom said, excitement still in her voice.
"Wonderful, are those Angelwear bikinis you've got there? I'll let you in on a secret, they are garbage. The first time you wear them out in the sun they'll fade on you and the only reason why I sell them is because I make a big profit on them. Let me show you what you should really be looking at."
Taking the bikini's from Mom, Sue tossed them on the counter and then led us back in to the women's section. Grabbing suit after suit off the racks, she filled Mom's arms until she had more suits then she could ever need for the trip. But she wasn't done with us at that point. Sue then led us in to the men's section and repeated the same process with me.
When we finally went to the change rooms, we were each given one suit to try on and left our piles on a bench. The first pair of shorts I had were dark blue with white tribal markings up the sides. They hung down around my knees and I really liked the way they looked and decided I would keep them. Changing back in to my own clothes I walked back out to a look that said I'd done something wrong.
"Is there a problem with them?" Sue asked.
"Not at all, I really like them actually."
"Then go and put them back on and lets see you in them. This isn't just about what you think but what your girl thinks as well."
Walking back in to the change room, I put the shorts back on and walked back out for a second time. This time my breath caught in my throat as there stood Mom in a conservative yellow bikini admiring herself in the mirror. I could feel a stirring in my shorts and I could only hope that nobody could see my growing arousal.
"Well what are you waiting for? Go stand by your lady. And lose the shirt, you're going on a tropical cruise for heavens sake."
Slipping out of my shirt, I went over and stood next to Mom, but this apparently wasn't enough as Sue came over and put my arm around her waist. Mom's skin felt incredibly hot to the touch and I felt like my arm might catch fire from the heat. But at the same time if felt amazing to touch so much of Mom's bare flesh and if my arm did catch fire I would gladly let it burn if only to prolong our contact. Mom gave me a momentary glance, but didn't say anything about our current position. It was actually surprising Mom hadn't put an end to this long ago and I had to wonder just what she was thinking at that moment.
That was how things went for the next two hours. One by one Mom and I tried on each suit and posed together in front of the mirror deciding not only if we liked our own suit, but each others as well. The entire time this was going on I continued to remain hard in my shorts as each suit Mom tried on seemed to get more and more revealing. When we got down to the last selection, I realized in shock that I was going to have a significant problem.
"I can't wear this thing, its a speedo!"
"Oh stop being such a prude, if you think we haven't noticed your erection you're only lying to yourself. Now go and put it on and lets see how you two look." Sue said. I felt my entire body turning red in embarrassment and I wondered if she had really seen that I had been aroused this entire time. If she had seen it, had Mom? Quickly I turned and darted in to the changeroom, looking more for a place to hide then a place to change. When I finally squeezed myself in to the speedo, I took some time to breath deeply and calm myself down. One I felt like I was back in control again, I stepped out and that was when I knew all my efforts were pointless.
Standing in front of the mirror was Mom in a skimpy red bikini, the bottoms nothing more then a thong that would have split Mom's ass perfectly had it not been for the panties she was wearing in accordance with the store policy for trying on swimsuits. The top didn't have much material to it either as the cups only covered her nipples and it seemed like her breasts could spill out of them at any second now. As I moved up to stand next to her, I saw in the reflection as Mom quickly glanced down and when she looked back up she too was blushing.
"Yes, perfect. You two will be the hottest couple on the ship, I must insist you take both these suits, free of charge. My gift to you."
"Well I guess we can't really refuse then." Mom said.
"I suppose not."
After we'd changed, Sue rang up our purchases and then threw in a collection of matching accessories for both of us. I couldn't help but laugh when I noticed that some of the accessories Sue was giving us were the same ones that Stacy, Amber and Ashley had tried to steal earlier in the day. It seemed that Sue picked up on this too and smiled at me knowingly. We paid for it all gladly and then thanked Sue once again before leaving the store. But one we were out, that was when Mom called me out.
"So I couldn't help hearing you refer to me as your girlfriend in there. Care to explain?" She asked.
"Well I wanted to show those girls that just because you have youth it doesn't mean you have beauty. If you could have seen how they looked at me you would have understood. But you could have corrected me you know, so why didn't you?"
Mom remained silent at that moment, and I couldn't help but wonder if maybe perhaps she had some hidden feelings for me. My hopes soared at this thought and I could hardly wait for this trip to start. We still had a few weeks to go before we left on our trip, it was going to be a long wait.
Day One
When the day finally came, Mom and I flew out to the city where the boat was docked and took a shuttle down to the dock itself. As we approached the ship I noticed the name of the boat and I could only hope that it didn't cause Mom to realize what was really going on.
"The S.S. Oedipus, that's an odd name for a ship running a cruise for mothers and sons."
"What do you mean Mom?" I thought the S.S. Oedipus was an aptly named ship.
"Oedipus, the Greek king of Thebes, married his mother." She said.
"Well maybe its an inside joke for its passengers. Or maybe it has a completely different meaning altogether."
This was a key moment, I just needed to get Mom on the ship and for us to pull away and we would be okay. Thankfully Mom didn't ask any more questions, and after we were onboard and had celebrated as we pulled out of port we were escorted to separate performance halls, moms in one, sons in the other. This I wasn't expecting and could clearly throw a wrench in to my plans. As I sat there wondering what was going on, a man that was clearly the captain in his full formal wear walked out on to the stage an approached the microphone.
"Hello everyone! For those of you who are travelling with us for the first time, I am Captain Christian Shilke, and it is my great honour to welcome you to what will be our sixty-eighth voyage." There was a loud cheer and everyone around me applauded the welcome.
"Now we have a great trip planned this year with plenty of fun and romantic activities scheduled for you and your moms, leading up to the Public Declaration of Affection, or PDA Ceremony where you will have the opportunity to declare your love for each other in front of everyone before making love to your mothers on the beach of our private island at the end of the trip Now I've been told that staff are already out and setting up the beach and that this year there will be enough beds for everyone who wishes to participate."
I was fully aware of this tradition, and I could only hope that Mom and I would be participating. But that was another story because I didn't even know how Mom would feel about making love in front of strangers, never mind getting her to want to participate in the first place.
"Now before I bring your ship mom out, I have a personal announcement, so bare with me as I do a little bit of bragging here. For those of you who have travelled with us before you will recall that I have often lamented the fact that I have had to leave a very special woman at home while I travel. Well not this year. Guys, I would like to introduce to you the wonderfully beautiful Mrs. Danielle Shilke, my mother."
To a thunderous round of applause and a standing ovation, a beautiful older woman walked out on the stage in a floral sun dress. When she was within arms reach, Captain Shilke reached out and pulled her to him and in to a deep and passionate kiss. This kiss sent everyone to their feet as the applause seemed to get even louder. When the applause died down and everyone had returned to their seat, Captain Shilke turned back to the microphone as he held his mother against him in his arm.
"Thank you. Now I'd like to bring up your ship mom Angie Stevens, she'll go over some details with you all while I go break some hearts as I tell your mothers I'm off the market." This got a good laugh as another older woman in a grass skirt and bikini top walked out on the stage, greeted the captain and his mother and then turned to the microphone as they walked off the stage.
"Thank you Captain Shilke. and Mrs. Shilke. Hello boys."
"Hello Mom." Everyone around me replied.
"Such a wonderful welcome as always from so many handsome and familiar faces. But I see some new faces as well, so allow me to introduce myself. My name is Angie Stevens, and I have the distinct pleasure of being your ship mom. Now for those of you who are travelling with us for the first time, my role is to act as liaison between you and your mothers and the staff here. So if you have any special requests or questions, please feel free to come find me and I will do my best to get you the answers you seek or help with any special arrangements you may need. Now I could bore you by going over all the details of our itinerary, but you'll find copies of that in your cabins where your mothers should be waiting by now, so go get them and have fun. I look forward to travelling with you all over these next two weeks."As we filed out of the performance hall, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. This was the moment that would decide everything and I hoped that it went just as well as the weeks leading up to the trip. Our cabin was on the virgin deck which had caused Mom some concern, but the cruise staff simply explained that it was where they put all the first time travellers as it provided easiest access to all the different areas of the ship and less of a chance of getting lost. When I arrived at our cabin it felt like my heart was about to burst out of my chest as I opened the door.
"You are some sort of sick pervert!" Mom yelled as I stepped in the door. Despite how much I had hoped that this would not be the outcome, deep down I had known that this was a likely scenario.
"What did you think was going to happen, that you'd get me on this ship of filth and perversion and we'd suddenly start having sex?"
"Mom I can explain."
"Oh I bet you can. I bet you've got this all planned out in your head how you're going to talk me in to bed with you. Well forget it cause you won't be getting anywhere near a bed with me and the first time we pull back in to port I am getting off this ship and returning home. And you are not to speak to me until we are off this ship." To emphasize her point, Mom slammed the door to the bedroom behind her, ending the discussion.
Figuring that there was no point trying to explain myself through the bedroom door, I decided to give Mom her space and left the cabin altogether. I decided to go for a walk around the ship to try and get my head straight and figure out how I was going to get Mom to talk to me again. But the walk didn't help. I'd been out walking for about an hour and it was only making things worse for me. Everywhere I looked were couples deeply in love, just about every one of them openly expressing their love for each other in one way or another. Everything from holding hands to deep passionate kissing was on display. I couldn't escape it and the events of earlier today were weighing greatly on me. I decided at that moment that I was going to win Mom back, I just didn't know how. When I made it back to our cabin, I was just about to put my key in the door when something caused me to pause. It was at that moment that I noticed a young man close to my age walking towards me and he seemed to be looking right at me.
"Are you Mike Adams?" He asked once he was in front of me.
"I am, and you are?"
"My name is Alex Meadows. My mother Lucy and I have been paired with you and your mother as your travel companions. Where is your mother by the way."
"Yeah, about that. My mother and I aren't exactly on speaking terms right now."
"You didn't tell her, did you." Alex asked, but clearly he already knew the answer."
"No."
"Well not the greatest way to start things, but that's alright. I think my mother and I can help you. Follow me."
Having nothing else to do and still no solid plan how I was going to get Mom to talk to me again, I decided to follow this guy who I had never met before and see what he had to offer in the way of help. This whole travel companion thing was new to me so I didn't know what to expect. He seemed to be very confident of himself and I was a little jealous of his confidence, it was like he knew something that I didn't and that bothered me. He didn't know a thing about my history, yet he acted like he already had my problem solved.
Alex led me through the maze of hallways until we came to a door that could have very well been my own. Knocking once to announce his presence, he then opened the door and stepped aside so that I could enter ahead of him.
"Mom I'm back and I've brought Mike with me. He's a virgin."
"Hey hold on a second, I'm no virgin."
"Don't worry, that's just what we call couples who haven't become intimate yet."
"I'll be right out dear, why don't you boys get comfortable." Came the voice of Alex's Mom from the other room.
Taking a seat on the couch, we didn't have to wait long until a beautiful older woman came walking in to the room. Even if her and her son hadn't been the only other people in the room I would have known immediately that this was his mother, Lucy. The similarities between them were obvious, including the golden blonde hair that they shared, Lucy's hanging down past her shoulders, while Alex had his tightly cropped to his head in an almost military like fashion. But what I noticed first was the fact that Lucy was completely naked and didn't seem bothered one bit by my presence. Everything was on display from her full round breasts which bounced with each step she took towards us and only showed the slightest sign of sag, to her shaven pussy between two long tanned legs that seemed to go on forever.
Lucy walked directly over to us, and stopping in front of her son she dropped down to her knees and kissed Alex deeply as she wrapped her arms around the back of his head a kiss he eagerly returned as his hands immediately wrapped around his mother and pulled her even closer to him. It was like I wasn't even in the room as Lucy began to unbutton Alex's shorts and pull out his hard cock. I felt rather embarrassed at that moment and couldn't help turn away. But when I heard the sounds of slurping I instinctively turned back and was completely shocked to see Lucy giving Alex an energetic blow job.
"As you can see Mike, my mother and I are very open about our sexuality. In fact, why don't you get in behind Mom and give her a good fucking."
I sat there looking at the scene in front of me for a moment, and although it was certainly arousing, I just couldn't bring myself to get involved.
"I'm sorry, I can't. I know she may not be speaking to me at the moment, but there is only one woman on this boat for me and I just can't see myself with any other."
Suddenly, as if someone had flipped a switch, Lucy stopped blowing her son, tucked him back in to his shorts, and left the room.
"That is exactly what we needed to hear from you Mike." Alex replied as his mother disappeared from view.
"What? What the hell is going on here? You weren't actually about to let me fuck your mother, were you?" I was even more confused then when Lucy had started blowing Alex and I began to wonder if they were just playing with me in order to get some sort of sick high out of my discomfort with the whole situation.
"He was, and I would have let it happen. But then we would have known that you weren't serious about your feelings for your mother and we wouldn't have wasted our time trying to help you." Lucy said as she came back in to the room, this time dressed in a loose fitting floral dress.
"I'm sorry you had to experience that Mike, but we've had a bad experience before with a travel companion. There was another young man like you who we agreed to help, but we found out half way through the trip that the only thing he really seemed interested in was fucking as many mothers as he could."
"Well I don't know if I'm worth your time. My Mom has told me that the first time we touch land she'll be getting on a plane and returning home."
"Well then I guess I had better act quickly. Alex you stay here with Mike and learn everything you can, I'm going to go speak with his mother to see if I can at least convince her to stay on the boat with us." This time when Lucy kissed Alex, it was a much more chaste kiss. The one you would expect to see between lovers in front of other people.
After she left, Alex started in with the questions, learning everything he could about me, my mother, and how strong my feelings were for her. I spent hours basically retelling my life story to him about how I'd fallen in love with my mother, the discovery of this trip, and saving all my money in order to book the best cabin on the boat for her and I. It seemed like hardly any time had passed but when I looked at my watch I realized hours had passed. I had gotten lost in telling this stranger about how much I loved my mother but it felt like a giant weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It felt nice to have another real person to talk to that knew where I was coming from.
After about four hours of questioning, Lucy returned and sat down on the couch next to Alex. I desperately wanted to ask her how things had gone with my mother and if she had agreed to stay on board, but she sat listening as Alex continued asking me questions and sometimes asking questions of her own. After six hours of questioning, they finally seemed to have all the information they felt they needed, and I was able to ask a question of my own.
"So how did it go with my mother?"
"Well, she's upset that you lied to her in order to get her to come on this trip, but I think that problem can be solved by a heartfelt apology. However if I were you I would wait until she is speaking to you again. But I think I have convinced her to stay on board and finish out the trip with us."
"Wow Mom, that's great. How did you pull that one off?"
"Well it was simple really. I just told her that she could leave at the first port, but by the time she got back home after all the layovers and different flights, the trip would be just about over anyway. So I just explained to her that it made more sense to travel in comfort with us."
I truly didn't know what to say as I felt a wave of emotion wash over me. Suddenly I found myself hugging Lucy and pulling her tightly against me, until I suddenly felt like this might be the wrong thing to do.
"I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me. I hope this doesn't affect your willingness to help me."
"Oh honey, it's quite alright. I'm sorry we had to put you through that, but it was necessary for our peace of mind. But I assure you, no more tests. From now on it will only be about helping you show your mother just how much you love her."
"Thank you."
"Now why don't you go back and get some sleep. We'll meet you tomorrow morning for breakfast and that's when we'll start discussing our plans to help you with your mother."
When I left their cabin, I felt completely the opposite as I had felt when I arrived. I knew that there was hope now, and if I needed any more signs, it came when I arrived back at my own cabin. It was clear that Mom still cared about me at least a little bit because sitting on the couch where I was obviously going to be sleeping was a pillow and some sheets. Taking Lucy's advice, I wasted little time in laying down and falling asleep. It may not have been much, but knowing that Mom was just one thin wall away from me was enough to make me feel better about this whole situation that I had gotten myself in to.
Day Two
When I woke in the morning my body was stiff and sore from sleeping crunched up on the couch. It was quite clear just from looking at it that it wasn't meant for sleeping, but I didn't care. Knowing that today Lucy and Alex were going to start helping me win Mom over was all I needed. Standing up, I stretched out the kinks and then headed for the shower. The door to the bedroom was open, but the room was empty meaning Mom was somewhere on the ship which was a tiny bit of joy for me. I had worried that Mom might spend all her time locked away in the bedroom. We were due to hit our first stop tomorrow morning, so I had little worry at this time of Mom leaving the ship.
When I got down to the dining hall, I scanned the room in search of Alex and Lucy, but spotted someone much more important. Sitting in the corner away from everyone else, just staring at a plate of food that appeared untouched was Mom. I knew that Lucy had said that I should wait until she started speaking to me again, but I couldn't wait any longer and I needed to make this right. I moved swiftly across the room towards her table, hoping that she wouldn't look up and see me coming and decide to bolt. Miraculously I was able to make it to her table before she even looked up and saw me. The look in her eyes told me she was on the verge of leaving, so I knew I had to act quickly.
"Look, I know you're upset with me, and you have every right to be. You don't have to speak, all I'm asking is for you to hear me out. Then, when I've said what I need to say I'll get up and leave and I promise that I won't look back in this direction. If you still want to leave then you can do so, but if you choose to stay I would love to have breakfast with you." Mom didn't say anything, and she didn't get up, so I took a chance and sat down.
"Thank you. Now, I know that it was wrong for me to trick you in to coming on this trip the way I did and I am deeply sorry for that. I know that you may still be considering leaving the ship at the first opportunity that you have and if you choose to do so I will respect that. But I would like to suggest another option. Stay on board and let us enjoy this vacation as mother and son only, nothing more. I love you very much, but I would rather have you only as my mother then not in my life at all."
Having said what I felt I needed to say, I got up and left the table and went and stood in the buffet line. As promised, I did not look back in the direction of the table no matter how much I wanted to. I so desperately hoped that Mom would stay, but I had to understand that it was entirely her decision. I'd blown it by tricking Mom in to coming on this trip and I needed to rebuild her trust in me. It seemed like the line took forever to progress forward, but when I finally made it through and had my food, I looked over at the table. My heart sank at that moment, the table was empty.
With my head hung low in hopes that nobody would see me and notice the look of shame and disappointment on my face, I walked over to the table and took my seat. Suddenly the food I had picked out, as delicious as it looked, had lost all interest to me. Just as I was considering getting rid of it, someone sat down across from me. Expecting to see Alex or Lucy, I was surprised by who had joined me.
"My food had gone cold." Mom said. I could only smile.
"Now before you say anything, do you promise me that we will be nothing more then mother and son?"
"I promise. I will not speak again of the subject unless you bring it up."
"Well don't expect that to ever happen, but I think we can at least try to enjoy this vacation together."
"Well would you look at that, they're talking again." Came the voice of Lucy, as her and Alex approached our table. Unsure how Mom felt, I deferred to her and she permitted them to sit.
"Now this is definitely a wonderful sight seeing you two speaking to each other again."
"Well Mom and I have agreed to enjoy this vacation as mother and son only, nothing more."
"That's great, because this is exactly what this trip is, a vacation."
"Well I'm still not sure how I feel about people thinking I'm having sex with my son."
"Kim darling." Lucy explained. "Nobody here is having sex with anybody, you don't pay the kind of money that you do for a ticket on this boat just to have sex. What you see around you are couples who are deeply in love with each other. The fact that they're related doesn't matter." It was true. Looking around the room as I saw Mom doing, all I could see were couples who were obviously in love with each other, just as I had seen the day before.
"I couldn't have said it better myself Mom." Alex said before lightly kissing Lucy on the lips.
"And I do love you."
"I love you too Mom." I worried for a moment that this display of affection might make Mom uncomfortable, but other then some colour in her cheeks, she seemed to be taking it all in stride.
"And Kim, just because somebody thinks you're doing something, doesn't mean you have to actually do it. So what if others think your sleeping with Mike, who cares what they think. You know the truth and that's all that matters."
"I suppose you're right."
"So just relax and enjoy yourself. Why don't we ditch the boys and go hit the spa? After a bit of pampering we can go lay out by the pool where the boys can meet us for lunch."
"That does sound nice."
"And while you ladies are pointlessly trying to improve on your perfect beauty, Mike and I will hit the gym for a workout so that we can be worthy of having you on our arms." The moment Alex had paid them the compliment I wished I had thought of that myself. Mom and Lucy were both eating it up.
"Great, then we'll see you boys at lunch."
After Alex and I had cleared away our trays, we said farewell to our mothers, Alex and Lucy with a kiss and Mom and I with an awkward hug. As soon as Alex and I were out of earshot, I told him what I was thinking.
"That was real smooth of you with that compliment Alex, I wish I had thought of it."
"You're right. Sorry, about that. I'll try to make sure that I give you the chance for those opportunities in the future."
"Thanks."
"That was great work getting her talking to you again. How did you manage that?"
"It was just as I said earlier. I simply told her that I would rather have her in my life only as my mother then not at all. I meant it too."
"Fair enough, but if Mom and I have anything to say about it, that won't be the case. But this is going to be a lot of work, I hope you're up for it."
"I am, even if it goes beyond the end of the trip."
For the next few hours, Alex put me through a gruelling workout that he promised would have Mom checking me out. When we finished, we showered and changed and then headed for the pool to join our mothers. They weren't difficult to spot, Mom was wearing her conservative yellow bikini and Kim was wearing a much more revealing green one. As we approached them, Alex leaned over and whispered in my ear.
"Alright Mike, lets see what you got." I nodded, then waited till we were a little closer before I started.
"Say Alex, I thought this cruise was just for mothers and sons. Since when did they start allowing teenage girls on the boat?"
"Very funny you two." Lucy said looking at the two of us over the top of her sunglasses. Her smile however betrayed her words and when I looked at Mom she too was smiling.
"Excuse me ladies, but we're supposed to be meeting our mothers here, have you seen them by any chance?" Alex continued.
"Careful boys, your flattery might just get you in to trouble."
I was considering continuing, but we were interrupted by the public address system announcing the start of the mothers versus sons tug of war over at the pool. Lucy immediately jumped up in excitement.
"Come on Kim, you're going to love this. Us mothers are undefeated nine years running."
"Well this is the year that you're rein as champions comes to an end Mom." Alex replied.
"We'll see about that. It's not like you boys are going to be any help having already exhausted yourselves at the gym." With that, Lucy dragged Mom off towards one side of the pool while Alex and I headed for the other. While we walked, Alex explained to me how this really worked.
"So here's the real reason why the mothers are undefeated. Each year we put up a good fight but eventually we let them win. It's a great way to score some brownie points and I think it'll even help with your Mom."
We joined the rest of the guys on our side of the pool, and as I waited for it to start I looked around and noticed that this event drew a lot of spectators. Couples of many different ages watched from around the pool and on balconies above us. It was at this time that I noticed that some of the mothers were even pregnant, which was something I hadn't even considered and came as a bit of a shock.
When the horn sounded to start, things remained pretty even for the first minute or so until we started to gain ground on our mothers. I could hear quiet communication going up and down the line about how close our mothers were to the edge and how much we needed to pull or how much give to allow them. We went back and forth for a few minutes as we made it look like we were putting up a good fight until deciding to make one final pull before giving in. I was near the front of the line, but not close enough to see across the pool, but apparently we were pulling a bit too much as urgent whispers went up to stop pulling as we nearly pulled our mothers in to the pool. Once they regained their footing, they took it as us tiring and we felt them pull hard and let them pull us directly in to the pool.When we surfaced we could hear all the mothers celebrating yet another victory. But the event had indeed served a purpose as a great icebreaker. I could see Mom sharing high fives with other mothers around her and Lucy. Alex and I swam across the pool to where Mom and Lucy joined us at the edge and were waiting with towels. We climbed out of the water and accepted the towels, and our defeat with grace.
"Told you, ten years in a row. We're unstoppable." Lucy gloated.
"Well, we'll get you next year." Alex replied. It seemed like he was about to say something more but suddenly he was flying backwards in to the pool, having been pushed by Lucy. I turned just in time to catch Mom with an evil smirk on her face as she was about to do the same. Instead I scooped her up in my arms and turned towards the pool. Mom twisted and squirmed to try and get away and that was when I had an idea.
"Alright, I won't throw you in. But you have to give me a kiss." The immediate change in Mom's temperament made me immediately regret what I had just said. She stopped squirming and pretending to put up a fight in my arms and her whole body had gone tense. I'd opened my mouth and inserted my foot cleanly and completely. I fully expected to get yelled at by Mom for breaking my promise in front of everyone on the ship.
"Put me down." She said with all seriousness. Putting her down at the side of the pool, I prayed I hadn't ruined what I'd just gotten back this morning. Mom wasn't saying anything, but she wasn't walking away either. Behind us I could hear Lucy chanting, getting everyone around us involved.
"Kiss him, kiss him, kiss him."
"You don't have to." I said.
Just as I was about to turn away, I suddenly found Mom with one hand under my chin and the other behind my head as she pulled me to her and kissed me in a way that we had never kissed before. This sent the crowd in to a frenzy, but I was so caught off guard that by the time I had realized what was going on the kiss was already over. That was when the evil smirk returned to Mom's face again and I suddenly found myself flying backwards in to the pool as she accomplished her original goal. When I surfaced, Mom was taking in the cheers from the crowd, before flying towards me with a shriek as Lucy shoved her in to the pool as well. After taking a bow, she too joined us in the water.
When we had all surfaced, we swam to the edge and pulled ourselves out. Alex and I went and grabbed us all towels and then we went and sat near the bar and ordered lunch. Afterwards we found four lounge chairs and stretched out in the sun.
"Mike, would you mind putting some tanning oil on my back? You wouldn't want me to burn would you?" Mom asked, turning in her chair to lay on her stomach.
"I would love to."
I was both excited and nervous as I took the bottle from Mom. This would be the first time since confessing my true feelings to her that I would be putting my hands on her body. Mom stretched out on her stomach, and when she untied the back of her bikini I could feel myself growing hard in my shorts from all this exposed skin. I was going to need to be very careful not to let it press against her nearly naked body. Squirting a generous amount of oil in to my hands, I began to rub it on to Mom's back, starting at her shoulders and working my way down. As I got to her sides, I was highly aware of the fact that my fingers were only a fraction of an inch away from her breasts.
"That looks like it feels really good Kim, can I get a share of that?" Lucy said, clearly watching the show.
"Mmm it does feels good, but I think I might just have to be greedy and keep him all to myself."
"Oh, that's too bad." Lucy said with an over exaggerated pout.
"Uh, you know I can hear you, right?" Alex replied.
"Don't worry Alex, I took a deep tissue massage course in high school. Just follow my lead."
I waited for a moment as Lucy and Alex got themselves positioned, then guided Alex step by step as I continued to massage Mom's body with the tanning oil. I hadn't thought of this in the first place, but the massage I was giving Mom was definitely going to help me achieve my goals. I could feel Mom's body practically melting beneath my fingers and the softest of purring sounds coming from her. As I got lower and lower on her body, I got closer and closer to the top of her bikini bottom and my next dilemma. I wasn't sure how close Mom was going to let me get, but I certainly wasn't hearing any complaints from her even as my fingers brushed underneath very top edge of it. To my surprise, Mom actually reached down and folded the top of her bikini bottom down giving me access to even more exposed skin. I could just barely make out the beginning of the curve of her body that hinted at the start of her beautiful ass.
When I moved to Mom's legs I started at her toes and worked my way up. Again as I approached the junction of her legs and a touch even more intimate then when I had come close to touching her breasts I began to wonder just how far I was going to be allowed to go. This had started as just a request to apply oil to her back to a full massage, but there was still the issue of how appropriate it would be for me to be touching Mom between her legs, so close to her pussy. Especially after the revelation of my feelings just yesterday. But as I got higher, Mom's legs seemed to spread wider and she was still making quiet almost imperceptible sounds of pleasure that only I seemed to be able to hear.
I allowed myself to get within a matter of inches before backing away. I glanced over towards Alex and Lucy to discover that they had clearly left the massage idea behind as Alex had his hand right between his mother's legs and was clearly getting her off manually. I continued to work on Mom's legs to keep her from looking up and noticing what was going on next to us. When they were finally done, I removed my hands from Mom's legs and the closest they had ever gotten to her pussy where I could swear that I could feel heat coming off of her. I would also swear that when I broke contact with her bare skin, I heard a sigh of disappointment coming from Mom.
After the impromptu massage, I felt like I could burst from all the sexual tension around me and I needed to cool off. I announced that I was going to go for a swim and thankfully Alex decided to join me because I could use the company and somebody to talk to. Apparently, I hadn't been the only one who noticed the sexual energy between Mom and I.
"Why'd you back off? Man I could see it, you had your Mom in the palm of your hand, she would have let you do anything you wanted." Alex asked.
"I don't know, it just didn't feel right. Like it wasn't the way I wanted this to happen."
"Fair enough."
After spending the rest of the day hanging around the pool, Mom and Lucy announced that they had had enough sun and we all agreed that we would go back to our cabins to change and then meet up for dinner and discuss our plans for tomorrow. It would be the first time that we'd be back on land since this all began and despite Mom's claim that she would stay on board I couldn't help but wonder and worry if Mom was still considering leaving.
An hour later, the four of us were seated at a table in one of the many restaurants on the ship waiting on our food. Mom was smiling and seeming to enjoy herself as her and Lucy chatted and Alex and I couldn't help but smile. I felt like I was on cloud nine however, despite everything it seemed like her and Lucy had really hit it off and become fast friends. Despite everything that had gone one, I was glad that Mom was able to make a friend on this trip and she didn't have to feel like she was entirely alone.
"So Kim, will you be coming ashore with us tomorrow?" Lucy asked once we'd finished eating.
"Of course. I don't want to spend this entire trip cooped up on this ship."
"That's great cause there are some wonderful shopping opportunities in town. Shall we meet up here early tomorrow for breakfast before heading for the shuttle buses in to town?"
"That sounds like lots of fun. I guess we will see you both early tomorrow morning."
"Oh my god! What have you let that boy do to you!" Lucy suddenly exclaimed, jumping up to embrace a very pregnant woman and then her son and causing us all to jump in surprise.
"Hey, Mom is just as responsible for this as I am."
"It's true, I'm just as guilty. I just can't help myself." After the two couples had finished greeting each other, Lucy turned to back to us to make the necessary introductions.
"Amber, Blake, I'd like you to meet our travel companions this year Mike and Kim."
"It's so nice to meet you both, how are you enjoying the trip?" Amber asked.
"It's been quite an experience so far, and this is only day two of the trip." I replied.
"Oh just wait, it only gets better from here."
"So your son is the father of your baby?" Mom asked. Causing me to look in her direction to see a genuine curiosity on her face. I was a little shocked, not just at the abruptness of the question, but the fact that it was Mom asking it.
"Yes he is, as well as our son William who is about to turn one and also the twins Terry and Stephanie whom he fathered with his twin sister Abigail."
"Wait, if William is about to turn one, then that would mean." Lucy said in surprise.
"Yes, that sea sickness I thought I was experiencing last year was actually morning sickness." Suddenly and without warning Amber doubled over, clutching her belly.
"Mom are you alright?" Blake responded with genuine concern in his voice, but he wasn't the only one who was concerned as we all moved to help just in case.
"I'm fine, its just our future football player practising kicking field goals with my bladder." Amber stood back up, but was still cradling her very pregnant belly.
"Here, take my seat." I said, standing up to gently help Amber in to the seat. A quick glance over at Mom showed me that the chivalrous act was not lost on her.
"That's very kind of you. Here, would you like to feel the baby?" Amber didn't really give me much of a choice as she grabbed my hand and placed it against her pregnant belly. Her bare skin felt warm and when I felt the kick it surprised me so much that I jumped back, pulling my hand away in the process and causing everyone around me to laugh. I kind of knew what to expect going in, but it still came as a surprise when their unborn child kicked at my hand.
"Don't worry dear. One day it will be your baby growing inside your mother's belly."
"Oh I don't know about that." I replied, glancing over at Mom in concern. We hadn't really discussed how to handle this situation.
"Why? You two haven't had the baby talk yet?"
"Actually Amber, Kim and Mike are virgins." Alex replied.
"But aren't you two the hot couple that we all saw kissing by the pool just after the tug of war?"
"It's complicated." I added, watching Mom to make sure this wasn't making her uncomfortable.
"Well, I won't try to convince you to give it a shot, but I will tell you this. I love this man and I know he loves me and the fact that we've taken our relationship to the physically intimate stage has only made it even more special." With Blake kneeling next to her, Amber turned and the two of them kissed lovingly. Mom seemed to be growing accustomed to this sort of display of affection as she didn't even blush.
"Yes, I'm beginning to see that my initial impressions about the chosen lifestyle of those around me were quite inaccurate."
"Are you all going ashore tomorrow?" Blake asked.
"Yes, we're going to go do some shopping and sightseeing." Lucy said.
"Well perhaps we will see you in town, the doctor says I need to get some exercise and since sex is what got us in to this in the first place, doctor Blake here has told me I need to find another form of exercise."
"I hope we do, but even if not I'm sure we'll see each other through out the trip."
After hugs and handshakes were exchanged by all and Blake and Amber left, Mom and I decided it was time to head back and said good night to Alex and Lucy. Back in our cabin I wasn't sure how things were supposed to go. I knew I was still sleeping on the couch but saying good night to Mom was uncomfortable and eventually I settled for an awkward hug before she disappeared behind the bedroom door for the night.
Finally left on my own, I was able to reflect on Mom kissing me in front of everyone by the pool earlier today. Had she really just kissed me in order to distract me so she could shove me in to the pool or was there another motivation behind it. I could close my eyes and recall the feeling of Mom's lips on my own and it certainly didn't feel like she was only doing it to distract me, and it certainly wasn't the kiss I had expected when I asked for on in exchange for not throwing her in to the pool. So why had she kissed me? I eventually fell asleep on the couch, but not without a lot of confusion.
Day Three
I awoke early in the morning to movement in the cabin and found Mom already up and getting ready. Getting up myself, I had a quick shower and changed my clothes and once Mom was ready we headed for the door.
"So, may I have the honour of escorting the most beautiful woman on the ship to breakfast this morning?" I asked, offering Mom my arm. The flattery may have been a bit much, but it was worth the risk. The smile I got from Mom told me I wasn't in any danger.
"You may." She said, delighting me as she took my arm.
Together we walked the halls on our way to breakfast, but in the corner of my eye I was watching Mom. I could feel the tension in her body as we passed couple after couple, but as there were only smiles on their faces, Mom slowly began to relax. By the time we made it to breakfast Mom was absolutely beaming and it didn't go unnoticed.
"Well now, you are positively glowing. Did something happen last night that we don't know about?" Lucy asked as I helped Mom in to her seat.
"I don't know what your talking about. It's a beautiful day and I'm on vacation, why wouldn't I be smiling?"
"Okay, if you say so."
After eating a quick breakfast, the four of us headed for the boarding platform and down to the dock. There the cruise line had shuttle buses parked to take people on a variety of different trips and experiences. Lucy steered us over to a group of couples standing by two of the smaller shuttle buses.
"Kim, you ride with the rest of us mothers in this bus, the boys can ride together in the other bus." Lucy said.
"You going to be okay on your own with them? I know we agreed to not discuss things but they don't know about our arrangement."
"I'm a grown woman Mike, I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself."
"Alright, I just wanted to be sure."
I was about to turn away from Mom when suddenly I found myself kissing her once again. Once more, I was so in shock by what was happening that by the time I figured it out the kiss was over and Mom was walking over towards a group of hooting and cheering women while I stood dumbstruck where she had left me.
When I finally came to my senses, I walked over and joined Alex and he introduced me to Brian, Jamie and David. We then boarded the bus and set off. It turned out that Lucy had specifically arranged for us to travel like this for my benefit.
"Okay guys, so now that you've actually met Mike and you're aware of his situation, I thought that we could take this opportunity to help him with some advice when it comes to his Mom."
"Well I don't know what it is that you're already doing, but keep it up. That was no motherly kiss back there." Brian said.
"That's just it, I haven't done anything. I actually promised not to bring up the subject of us being anything more then mother and son and have stuck to that promise."
"Well then keep it up." Jamie said.
"Like I told you yesterday Mike, there's something there."
"That is certainly possible, and I'm certainly not stopping. You saw her this morning Alex when I escorted her to breakfast and how she was acting. I know I'm doing the right thing and I'm not going to stop."
"Just be careful, don't get overconfident. The last thing you want to do is misread her signals. One wrong move and you could reverse all the progress you've made." Alex replied in a serious tone.
"That is certainly true, but at the same time if he doesn't respond to her signals his mother might think he's not interested in seducing her anymore." Said David.
"Just what would you know about seduction David. Your mother seduced you and we all know that she was practically throwing herself at you before you finally realized what was going on." Brian said, mocking David but in a friendly way.
"Hey, I was just playing hard to get." He replied, causing us all to laugh.
When we arrived at the shopping district, we all got off the bus and joined our mothers at their sides. We then set off and simply followed along as our mothers pointed out and ventured in to different shops. The guys and I at that point became baggage carriers as we held on to our mother's purchases so that they could do more shopping. Part of the way through the day, one of the mothers suggested that we should pick up some baby gifts for Amber and Blake and all the other mother's agreed.
What the guys and I didn't realize was that this new plan meant that our mothers were going to share the most embarrassing baby stories they could think of about us. We ribbed each other as we heard the stories, which only caused our mother's to share even more stories as if they were trying to level the playing field. Once our arms were full and our mother's announced a desire to eat we started to look for somewhere to grab lunch. It was at this time that we ran in to Amber and Blake, but we kept our surprise a secret by hiding the gifts in our other shopping bags. We invited them to join us for lunch, but before we sat down one of the other mother's pointed out one more stop.
"Ladies I think we should send the boys to get us a couple tables as I see a shop we should visit without them."
All the mother's agreed, so after taking all their purchases, the guys and I walked over to the restaurant we had picked out and got a group of tables out on the patio where we could watch for our mothers.
"Did you guys see the shop they walked in to?" David asked.
"No, why?" Alex replied.
"It was a lingerie shop."
"So? My mother happens to have a very large collection of lingerie back at home and she wears it often because she knows what kind of affect it has on me." Blake replied.
"Yes, as does mine. But Mike's Mom went in with them."
"So? That doesn't mean she's going to be buying anything." I said, although I did wonder myself.
After that, the whole table went quiet as we all sat and watched. Soon enough we saw the door open and the first to walk out was Brandy, Jamie's mother carrying a small white bag. Next came Janet, then Amber who was followed by Lucy. Brian's mother Claire was next, and last but not least was Mom. Each lady was carrying a small white bag, and I couldn't help but noticed that Mom was carrying one as well. This only served to confuse me even more as I had no idea how to read this. Once they'd joined us we tried everything that we could think of to get our mothers, or each others mothers to reveal the contents of the white bags, but they refused to even give us a clue and eventually we gave up. All they ever said was that if we wanted to find out we would just have to be patient. Was there some sort of hidden message there for me to find?
After a very energetic and animated lunch, Amber announced that she was tired and would like to head back to the ship. We all agreed that we'd had enough shopping for one day and we boarded the buses again with the same travel arrangements as this morning as well as all the shopping, except of course for the white bags. Amber and Blake also joined the respective parties as we set off for the docks.
At supper that evening, Alex and Lucy surprised us by announcing that they already had plans for tomorrow.
"So I know that this is going to be very last minute, but we will not be joining the two of you tomorrow. It is our anniversary and Mom and I like to spend the day in our cabin celebrating together."
"Oh well happy anniversary then and don't worry about us. I'm sure Mike and I can find something to keep ourselves occupied for the day on this ship."
"Thank you. We promise that if anything changes we will let you know, but expect to be on your own for the day and we will see you the day after." Lucy said.
"Mom we should take them to our snorkelling spot."
"Yes, that's a wonderful idea. We're back in port tomorrow, you'll love this place. More colourful fish and coral then you can even imagine."
"It sounds wonderful. We will see you then."
Back in the cabin, Mom surprised me by dropping another announcement on me regarding tomorrow.
"I hope you can take care of yourself tomorrow. Some of the other mothers are throwing Amber a surprise baby shower and have asked me to help set up so seeing as Lucy and Alex will be celebrating alone in their cabin I have decided that I'm going to go see if I can help out. I will be up early in the morning and will be gone till at least lunch."
"That's alright. I was considering going to the gym tomorrow any ways. You go and have fun."
"I plan on it." It was actually nice to hear excitement in Mom's voice again. Even if things didn't work out between us, I was glad to know that Mom would at least have some pleasant memories from our trip.
That night as we prepared for bed things went a little more smoothly. Our goodnight hug was much more comfortable and Mom didn't pull away as I kissed her on the cheek. I fell asleep that night feeling like I was on cloud nine and slept the most restful sleep I'd had since we'd come on board. I still felt a little confused, but I felt like if I was patient, everything would work itself out.
Day Four
In the morning, I awoke as Mom was just finishing getting ready. Before she left she kissed me on the cheek and then was out the door. In no rush, I decided to stretch out and relax for a little before starting my day. I took some time to contemplate where Mom and I were now in our relationship as compared to my original plan and my new one since we boarded. But as I thought about Mom and I my arousal began to take over and I had to put a stop to that line of thought. Some how masturbating in the cabin while Mom was gone felt inappropriate. It wasn't easy however to get myself back under control and it took a cold shower just to get my heart rate back down.
After a long workout, I returned to the cabin to change and was some what disappointed to find it empty. Mom had however explained that she might not be back till well after lunch, but my disappointment didn't last long as I spotted Mom eating a light lunch in the dining hall and joined her. The way she smiled at me as I sat down across from her made my heart swell knowing that my presence brought her joy once again.
"So, how was your morning?" I asked.
"Wonderful, those ladies are hilarious. We haven't quite finished yet though, so I'm heading back for an hour or so to help finish. Do you have any plans for this afternoon?"
"I do actually. Some of the guys are putting together a basketball game and asked me to join."
"Oh, okay." To my surprise, Mom actually seemed disappointed that I had plans. Then I realized what she was trying to imply and thinking back to the conversation from the bus with the other guys, I quickly acted on it.
"But my evening is free. If you wanted we could meet for supper and then maybe go walk the observation deck afterwards, maybe watch the sunset? I hear it's quite the sight out at sea."
"That would be nice actually."
"Great, it's a date then." Immediately as I said it I realized that I had just put my own foot in my mouth once again. But Mom didn't seem to mind and didn't say anything about my referring to us planning on spending time together as a date so I went with it. After a wonderful lunch, Mom and I parted ways once again, but knowing that we would be spending the evening together was a wonderful feeling. But it was also very risky territory that I was walking in to. One wrong move, a hand on the wrong spot, or a poorly timed reach for a kiss and I could ruin everything. I was going to have to be concious of how I acted on what I hoped would be only our first date.
When I joined the guys for the basketball game, I tried as hard as I could to focus on the game and not the clock. But that was easier said then done as I found myself constantly glancing up at the time and questioning whether the clock was even working properly. I was distracted and it showed in my play as I missed easy passes and even easier shots. When we stopped for a water break, one of the guys took the time to pull me aside and ask me if everything was okay.
"What's going on Mike, you seem rather distracted."
"I'm sorry, it's just that I've got a date with my Mom tonight, an actual date."
"Well then I've got just one question for you."
"What?"
"What the hell are you still doing here? Go and get her!"
"Right, thanks!"
Taking off like a shot, I heard someone else calling out to me asking where I was going, but I didn't turn to respond. I simply kept running as someone else yelled out that I had a hot date.
When I got back to the cabin, Mom was already there and I couldn't believe how amazing she looked. She was wearing a some what modest red bikini with a semi-transparent wrap around her hips. Her freshly tanned skin seemed to glow against the suit and gave her an glow that sent my heart racing. It also seemed that she had gone and gotten her hair done and had even applied a light bit of make-up. I couldn't understand this, but I also couldn't help but comment on it.
"Mom you look amazing!"
"Mike! What are you doing here? I wasn't expecting you till later." Mom shrieked in surprise as she turned to find me standing there. I didn't realize that she hadn't heard me come in.
"I was going to ask you the same thing. I came back early to get ready for our date."
"Oh, well I finished helping set up and I thought I would come back to get ready myself."
"I can see that. Well why don't you give me a little while to get ready myself and then we can get an early start on our evening."
"That would be nice."
Slipping in to the bathroom, I took extra care in showering and shaving and making myself look presentable. Mom had obviously gone to great lengths for tonight and I wanted to look at least half as good as she did. After brushing my hair and teeth, I put on a fresh pair of shorts and my best shirt and then stepped back out to present myself. Mom was sitting on the couch and when I stepped in to view I could see her smile.
"You look very handsome."
"Thank you. You look amazing of course. Shall we go?" I said as I offered Mom my arm which she happily took. I realized that I had repeated myself, but Mom didn't seem to care.
Walking to the dining hall, I felt like the luckiest guy on the ship. This could be as far as our relationship ever went and I would still be happy to have had this experience. Everyone around us smiled as we passed, and I truly believed we were the hottest couple on the ship.
Choosing one of the more formal dining halls for supper, I took the liberty of ordering for us and surprised Mom by ordering her favourite meal in the world. Over some of the best cooked food I'd ever had outside of Mom's cooking, we shared some wonderful conversation and you would almost swear that this was the most normal thing in the world for us. Afterwards, we made our way to the observation deck where we walked a few laps before finding a nice place along the rail to stand and watch the sun set over the water.
Standing there with Mom in my arms, I couldn't help but feel her press herself even closer to my body and I was only happy to pull her even tighter. But it was while we stood there, just as the sun began to drop below the horizon that I simply couldn't keep it inside me anymore and I had to ask a question that had been on my mind for days now. I knew what I was about to ask was risky, Mom could take this as me breaking my promise. But I needed to know and I couldn't contain it any longer.
"Mom, what happened?" I asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what happened with us? I know I promised never to bring this up again but I have to know. You've gone from not speaking to me, to now going out on a date with me. Not to mention those two kisses that were definitely not kisses a normal mother and son would share." Mom was silent after this as she stared out over the water, but I could tell that she wasn't upset that I was asking because she never attempted to move away from me, even in the slightest. After a few long seconds, Mom finally turned to look me in the eyes again.
"I'm surprised you don't know, since you have Lucy to thank."
"What do you mean?" As Mom spoke, she turned in my arm so that we were facing each other completely, breasts pressing in to my chest as our faces mere inches apart and close enough that I could feel her warm breath on my skin. As I looked in to her eyes I could see a sparkle that I had never really noticed before and it wasn't simply the reflection of the setting sun in her eyes.
"Well she told me about how you responded to the invitation to join her and Alex. After hearing how you turned them down for me, even knowing that it was never going to happen, I realized that I was wrong and that you weren't just interested in sex. Lucy eventually convinced me to just let myself go, to just enjoy myself and maybe even allow you to court me for the duration of the trip."
"So what does that mean for us?"
"It means that I'm okay with us acting as a couple, but at the end of the night we will sleep in separate beds and when we leave this ship we will return to being just mother and son. Do you think you can handle that?"
"I believe I can." I replied. After a moment of silence I was feeling lucky and decided to take another chance. Slowly I leaned my head forward and kissed her. This time I knew exactly what was happening and as the sun finally dropped below the horizon Mom and I shared what I felt was our first official kiss.
Despite the fact that there were a few other couples around us watching the sun set, Mom and I continued to stand there kissing as if we were the only thing that existed in the world. Mom had her arms wrapped around the back of my neck now as I locked my arms around her hips, afraid to let go for fear that if I did the mother who had completely rejected my feelings would return. We didn't stop until the sun had fully set and I felt Mom shiver slightly from the cooling ocean air.
"Cold?" I asked her as I pulled away slightly.
"A little."
"Should we go back inside?"
"Not yet. I'm not ready for this moment to be over just yet" Mom replied before resuming our kiss. It was the most wonderful feeling in the world to be here, making out with the woman I loved so much, but when I felt her shiver once more, I insisted that it was time we go back inside.
Back in our cabin, Mom and I kissed a little longer as we said good night, and when she pulled away towards the bedroom I made no effort to follow. I knew what our new modified agreement meant, and I fully intended to follow it so that we could continue the way we were now. When I slept that night I could still feel the warmth of Mom's lips pressed against my own and I dreamt so vividly of us kissing that when I awoke in the morning I fully expected to find Mom there kissing me awake.
Day Five
"Well well well, a little birdie told me this morning that a certain set of virgins were spotted last night making out on the observation deck like a couple of horny teenagers."
Mom and I had come down for an early breakfast and were sitting together enjoying each other's company when we heard Lucy's sing song voice. Mom had been sitting in my lap as we fed each other pieces of tropical fruit and had lost all connection to our surroundings, so Mom quickly slid out of my lap and back in to her seat next to me when they arrived.
"Really? Who?" I said, causing Mom to giggle.
"Very funny. Don't think I don't see it written on both your faces." Lucy replied as her and Alex sat down across from us.
"So tell us about this snorkelling spot you're taking us to." Mom said, this time I was the one who laughed.
"We're not taking you anywhere until we get the details."
"Well then if you must know, Mom and I had our first date last night."
"And did you sleep with him Kim?"
"I'll have you know that my mother is a proper lady who doesn't take her date to bed on the first night." I said, standing up for Mom even though I knew Lucy was only kidding around.
"Fair enough. But seriously, how did it all happen?"
For the next few minutes, Mom and I took turns telling parts of our story about how our first date came to be. I was surprised by Mom when she embarrassingly admitted that she'd been nervous about wanting to look her best for me, but I alleviated some of that embarrassment when I admitted to being distracted the entire afternoon by the prospect of going out on a date with her.
"Well that's wonderful to hear. You two make an incredibly cute couple." Lucy said when we were done.
"Well thank you." We both replied
"But now I need you both to go back and grab your swimwear as we need to leave immediately. It's a bit of a drive to get to where we need to go and the sooner we leave the more time we can spend there. We'll meet you both on the dock."
Mom and I quickly stood and made our way back to our cabin. Mom slipped in to the bedroom, and seeing as I was already in my shorts I quickly put together a beach bag for the both of us. When Mom walked back out of the bedroom, it seemed like she hadn't changed at all.
"Aren't you going to change?" I asked.
"I already did, I'm wearing my suit under my clothes."
"Oh. Which one is it?" I asked.
"You'll just have to wait and see I suppose, maybe it's that red one I know you like so much." Mom was having way too much fun with this and seemed to actually enjoy torturing me with the possibility of her wearing her racy red string bikini.
Out on the dock, we found Lucy and Alex standing by a bright yellow convertible with the top down. They had apparently rented a car ahead of time to get us to where ever it was we were going. During the drive there they refused to tell us anything more about the spot other then the fact that we would love it. They weren't lying.
The spot they had brought us to was a small beach along the edge of a long cliff running out from the beach for a few hundred yards. There wasn't another person around except for a few people up on the pier where there was a small seafood restaurant with a few empty tables. The water itself was crystal clear and even from the road you could see hints of the colourful coral and fish awaiting us. Lucy and Alex suggested that we eat first before getting in to the water, but I tried to convince them otherwise. In the end I lost the argument and we went up to get something to eat.
"Don't worry about him, he's just eager to see which bikini I chose to wear today. He's hoping that its the very revealing red one he likes so much." Mom told Lucy as the two of them walked together.
"Well is it?" She asked and I began to believe I might just get my answer. Instead Mom leaned over and whispered the answer in Lucy's ear, which caused her to gasp and then smile back at me. She wasn't helping the situation either and I began to wonder if she was perhaps in on this.
After lunch we returned to the car where we retrieved our snorkelling gear from the trunk. I watched eagerly as Mom stripped down to her bikini and although she wasn't wearing the red one that Mom had been teasing me with, the purple bikini she was wearing still left very little to the imagination. With our flippers in our hands, the four of us walked out on to the beach and in to the water. Alex and I hung back slightly behind our mothers, taking in the view.
"I have to say Mike, have you ever seen a more beautiful sight?" Alex asked loudly enough for our mothers to hear. Lucy's bikini did little to cover her ass and I couldn't tell but it seemed like Mom might have pulled hers up a little more to show off some extra skin.
"I cannot say that I have Alex." I replied in kind.
"Well you two better hurry up and get your flippers on, or these beautiful sights are going to get away from you." Mom said as they finished pulling on their flippers, turned away from us, and dove in to the water giving us a perfect view of the bare flesh of their asses. Alex and I quickly pulled our flippers on and took off after them.
When I finally caught up to Mom, I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her against my body. Mom tried to squirm away at first, but I held her tightly and she quickly gave in, choosing instead to turn and kiss me. We floated in the water there for a few moments enjoying each others kisses before finally deciding to actually do some snorkelling.
Hand in hand Mom and I floated together taking in all the colourful coral. Because of our earlier thrashing most of the fish had gone in to hiding, but time and some bags of fish food supplied by the seafood shop coaxed them out and we both thrilled in pointing out all the different colourful fish that we spotted. In the end I was actually glad we had eaten first, as we might not have seen as many fish as we were without the food.
When we finally decided to surface again, I was surprised to see that we had drifted a little further out from shore then I had been expecting. Glancing around us, we spotted Lucy and Alex about fifty yards away from us, making out like a couple deeply in love.
"Apparently they didn't get enough of each other yesterday." Mom commented. I didn't know exactly how to reply to this, so instead I pulled her back to face me and kissed her once again.
After we made out for a while, Mom and I finally separated and found that we had now drifted closer to Lucy and Alex, who embraced just like us, but were watching us with huge grins on their faces. I couldn't help but smile back, as did Mom.
"Get a room you two." Alex said.
"We just might." Mom replied, shocking me. She certainly was having a lot of fun with our new relationship and I was glad for it.
Despite our apparent need for physical connection at the lips, Mom and I did manage to do a little bit more snorkelling before Lucy announced that it was time for us to head back. Reluctantly Mom and I left the water and I could only hope that one day we would be able to return to this place again.
Upon returning to the ship the four of us were completely exhausted so after a light supper we said goodnight and returned to our respective cabins. There, Mom and I said good night with a little light kissing before she disappeared in to the bedroom. I was asleep before my head even hit the pillow on the couch.
That night, for the first time I could recall since we'd come on board, I dreamed. I dreamed of the beach we'd just visited. In my dream it was just Mom and I. She was in her purple bikini and was walking out in to the water while looking back at me over her shoulder. I tried to follow, but I found myself slowly losing ground on her. By the time I made it in to the water she was already a few feet out. I could see her head float above the water for a moment as I tried to swim out to her, but once I got there she was already gone.
Diving under the water, I caught a glimpse of her swimming in to an opening in the cliff wall that I did not recall seeing in the real cliff. But despite this discrepancy I still swam after her, desperate to catch up to her. When I passed through the opening myself, I found myself surfacing in an underwater grotto. There, sitting on a rock shelf, was Mom. But now she was completely naked and her legs spread wide and invitingly.
