“Have you had a good time, honey?” Mandy asked Mark as they got inside.
“Awesome, Mom. It was great to see Steve again, and Mrs Nielsen made sure there was plenty of time for bonding activities.”
Mandy laughed at how casually her son referred to their sexual escapades, even though they both knew very well it was the main reason for him going on the trip. She could easily imagine his cute face, all scrunched up, as he was brought to climax by the busty blonde’s hot body.
“That’s so sweet of her. I was hoping she would. You got to do some of your favorite things with her?”
“I got to do her butt twice, Mom!” said Mark, proudly.
“That sounds wonderful, sweetheart. That’ll explain why you look so happy and relaxed. Chrissy is very good to you.”
“I know. If only she and Steve lived closer.”
“It’s not that far and don’t forget, she’s got Steve to take care of. Anyway, I’ve got some good news for you.”
“What’s that, Mom?”
“Why don’t you go have a shower, and I’ll make us both a coffee. I’ll see you in the living room when you’re done.”
When Mark joined Mandy on the couch twenty minutes later, she was pleased to note he now smelt fresh once more, and he was bursting with curiosity.
“What is it, Mom? Have I missed something over the weekend?”
“Well, actually it’s from before the weekend even. You remember how you were asking about spending the night in my bed?”
Mark nodded. How could he forget? He thought of nothing else each night when he went alone to his bed, yearning for his mother’s curvy body pressed against his lean one.
“I called Dr Dearlove before the weekend and explained our situation and how you felt excluded from your mom and dad’s bed. She was very understanding and told me how she guided other families with the same needs. At SAMBA they’ve been doing research on the subject and Dr Dearlove has published her work on what she calls co-sleeping for moms and sons.”
“That sounds exactly what we need, Mom!” said Mark excitedly.
“It sounds like what all moms and sons need if even half of what I’ve read is true. It’s something that will help with your anxiety and in the document, it says it ‘promotes a healthy, natural and more fulfilling nocturnal experience for mothers and sons.”
“What do we do about Dad though?” Mark asked, concern clearly showing on his young face.
“Relax, I’ve already spoken to him about it,” Mandy soothed her son.
“Really? How did he take it?”
“I don’t think he’s a hundred per cent convinced of the benefits yet, but I have got him to agree to let us try it. We need to prove to him how successful it can be. And for him too, of course. Naturally, I’ve left unsaid how unfair the current arrangement is. We both know that, of course, but remember your dad is quite a way behind us on the programme. He’s still thinking in the old way, about husbands having exclusive access to their wives. We both know that’s not the future.”
“How else am I to get everything out of the bonding activities if I can’t get the full experience of being with you overnight?”
“I know, honey. But your dad still doesn’t know the full extent of our sessions together. That’s another thing that Dr Dearlove mentioned. We need to slowly introduce our intimacy into the family structure in a way that doesn’t make your dad uncomfortable or threatened.”
“Yeah, I hate how we have to hide it.”
“Let me take care of that side of things, Mark. Remember I know your dad far better than you. You don’t want to do or say anything that will make him regret his decision, because as of tonight, you are with me Sunday through Thursday. Isn’t that great?!”
Mark’s face lit up like a young child’s on Christmas morning as he grinned ear to ear. Mandy had seen his ecstatic face plenty of times as he shot her full of cum, but this was different to the short-term pleasure of sexual release. She hoped this signalled a deeper contentment with more lasting long-term character-building possibilities, and that by letting him bed her as a man he would mature into one she could be proud of.
Mark flung his arms around his mom, hugging her tightly.
“Thank you for doing this, Mom! All I ever wanted was things to be fairer and more balanced. I’ll be able to relax after a bonding session without the rush out to school. And you’re going to love it too, Mom!”
Mandy hugged her son back, pleased that her son wanted to spend more time with her than ever before. In a matter of months, they had already built a relationship the strength of which any mother would envy. Rather than her son going his separate way, exposing his vulnerabilities to and getting hurt by girls his age, he had trusted her to continue to provide for all his emotional and physical needs.
Just then Mandy saw over Mark’s shoulder, her husband Dan, appear.
“Hi Mark, I thought I heard you about. How was camping with your friend?”
“It was a lot of fun, Dad,” said Mark, pulling away from his mom. “We did a lot of walking with Mrs Nielsen and other stuff. It was exhausting but it felt good. I think Mrs Nielsen was feeling sore after as she’s not used to getting so much exercise.”
“Well, she’s not as young as you two, that’s for sure. I’m pleased you’re getting out more. These friends from the course you and your mom were on seem such a positive influence. I remember not that long ago you’d be lurking in your room for whole days. If this is what SAMBA does then I’m all for it.”
“I was just telling Mark how you’ve agreed to the co-sleeping plan. He’s feeling very relieved, Dan,” said Mandy.
“I still think it’s very unorthodox, Mandy. I’m just a little worried you’re a bit old for all this, Mark,” said Dan.
“But Dad -” Mark started to complain, fearing that now that he was so close to realizing his dream, his dad was going to stop those long nights with his mom before they had even started.
“That’s enough, Dan,” said Mandy, cutting off her son. “We’ve been over this already. Please, let’s not go back on this. It’s unproductive and damaging to Mark’s confidence. We all need a smooth transition, as a family, and with a positive attitude.”
“Sorry, I’m not intending to be negative. I support you both if you think it will help. Don’t think I haven’t seen the changes in you too, Mandy. I see how much better you are as a mom now. I appreciate how devoted you are to Mark. And you and I haven’t had any serious disagreements since you both embarked on the programme. Whatever you’re both doing, keep it up!”
Both Mark and Mandy turned and smiled at each other. Mandy took one of her son’s hands in her own and gave it an affectionate squeeze. While she knew how important this was for Mark, she was glad that Dan had acknowledged the change in her. It may have taken years, but she had finally found her role as a woman and had no intention of going back to a traditional family unit.
“Mark, I just need a few words with your mom. I bet you’ve got some homework to do still?”
“Yes, Dad,” said Mark, rolling his eyes. He got the hint though, and left his parents to it.
Dan sat down beside his wife, gathering and composing his thoughts with care. He knew he had to be careful crossing Mandy once she had made up her mind to do something. Mostly he liked the quiet life, but there was one thing still troubling him.
“Mandy, you know I’m trying my best to support you on this. I’ve got eyes and have seen all the positive changes these last months. But…I just want to check you’ll be wearing something appropriate when Mark’s with you?”
“What do you mean?” replied Mandy in confusion.
“You, know, something modest while you’re in bed.”
“I won’t be wearing anything,” said Mandy flatly.
“What?!” cried Dan, suddenly sitting bolt upright.
“Let’s not go over this again. You seem to have an obsession with this,” said Mandy, rolling her eyes.
“I don’t, honey! Please believe me, I’m just trying to understand, that’s all.”
“If you had read Dr Dearlove’s paper properly then you wouldn’t be asking. Didn’t you read how today’s teens have an unhealthy image of women? Do you even know what it’s like with young men and pornography these days? It’s damaging, Dan. Ask yourself if you’d rather your son see a wholesome mother and wife as the idealized female form, or that of a young slut with fake breasts and a dozen tattoo’s?”
“I’m sorry Mandy, you’re right,” said Dan, hanging his head in shame as he was chastised by his wife. “I want him to be inspired by a woman like you.”
“This is a large part of the co-sleeping plan. Yes, it’s about Mark feeling safe, secure and loved. It’s also highly educational so that he learns about normal women’s bodies and how to have respectful boundaries. Do you understand?”
“Yes, of course.”
“I promise everything that happens with Mark will be age appropriate and done to enhance mother and son bonding.”
“I trust you, Mandy. I guess I’m just old-fashioned, and these modern methods of raising a boy will take some time to get used to.”
“They’re new to me too, but we have to seize these opportunities with both hands. Look at Mark. He’s not questioning any of this and look at his progress. I think we can both learn from him. I’m proud of you for giving up your bed for Mark. As adults, we sometimes have to make sacrifices for our children and accept that their needs come first. Why don’t you go talk to him, let him know you fully support him?”
*****
Dan Wheeler retired at his usual time that Sunday night, awkwardly wishing his wife and son a good night. He climbed the stairs towards the spare room where he would be sleeping, convinced by Mandy that this was the best course for everyone. Nevertheless, if only subconsciously, he was aware that something had forever changed within the family unit.
