This is a story about lust, excitement, romance and seduction. This is a longer, serious and more detailed story about the characters and their relationships than sex itself. It is a work of fiction and does not depict or describe anyone that I know of. Having written hundreds of stories over the last 17 years, it is possible some themes, situations and ideas may have been used in part or whole previously, but this is an original story. Any people, places, names, products or events mentioned are done so without permission or endorsement.

My name is Deanna and I am a 38 year old single mother who works full time and lives alone with my 19 year old son Andrew. I am 5' 10" and in good shape with long black hair, a mostly fit body that could always use some toning, plus the gift of a large chest that usually just gets in my way. My ex husband Will left me for a 23 year old blonde and married her within months of the divorce being finalized. Good riddance to him, that's the end of that subject. I work as a store manager for a well known modern clothing store in the mall where I get hit on pretty much daily... and ignore it all. I don't have time to date or play the games with a son in college, a house to keep up and working full time. I get lonely now and then and wish I had someone in my bed, but most days I just power through it and get through the day. The upside of being single is I don't have to deal with anyone's drama and I can do what I want when I want. The downside is I get lonely and since it's been months since I got any. Trust me, I have needs and urges just like anyone else. Those needs and urges are what got me into my current situation and that's why were here, talking about this.

My son Andrew has a best friend named Jesse who I have known at least fifteen years. I have seen Jesse grow from a kid to a young man and it wasn't until last year that I realized he had an intense, powerful, and very serious crush on me. Half the time when he's over here, he floats around staring at me as if I were some Angel or Heavenly vision he's admiring. Most of time it's cute and flattering but now and then it can be exhausting. Jesse is my son's age, 19, and a handsome, fit and muscular young man who I would love to drag into my bedroom but can't for obvious reasons. The reasons? He's 19 and my son's best friend. Did I mention he's 19? It started slowly moths ago but now Jesse openly flirts with and hits on me almost constantly. He practically lives with us and always seems to be around when I take a shower, workout, or put a bikini or anything skimpy on. My biggest mistake was when I decided to flirt back because I enjoy the attention he gives me. I won't sleep with Jesse... or I shouldn't... but I am addicted to the attention he gives me.

I was in the kitchen after a long day at work, rinsing the dishes and loading the dishwasher. Jesse came in and said "Xbox is fun, but I'd rather play with you". I closed the dishwasher, dried my hands, and made Jesse wait... and he waited expectantly. I finally smiled and said "You realize you're not even trying to be discreet anymore". Jesse moved closer and said "I have never wanted anything this much... ever". I exhaled slowly. My blood was pumping and I was real close to making a bad decision. I asked quietly "What exactly would you do if I stopped and let you catch me?" Jesse swallowed and his eyes flitted around the room even though he faced me unmoving. I leaned back against the counter and waited until Jesse swallowed again and just left the kitchen. Well, that was unexpected. I was staring into the fridge wondering what to do about dinner a few minutes later when Andrew came in and asked "What happened? Jesse just left and said he needed to go. Did he say anything to you". I looked at my son and told the truth "No, he didn't say anything".

We had dinner and I was cleaning up while Andrew did homework when the front door opened and Jesse came in. Jesse's been coming and going for years, long before his infatuation with me became an issue. I smiled at Jesse and he went into the living room, said something to Andrew, then came into the kitchen and sighed. I smiled and waited as Jesse worked himself up and then finally asked "Do you realize I would do anything to be with you?" Wow, did not see that coming. I should have, but I didn't. I exhaled slowly then whispered "Come over here and keep your voice down. What do you mean be with me?" Jesse came very close and stared into my eyes as he whispered "Be with you. That's what I mean, be with you". I was standing on the cliff with no way forward or back, this was the moment I both hoped for and dreaded. Jesse stared deep into my eyes and whispered "You know... be with you?" I whispered "I need to hear you say it. Tell me what you want". Jesse looked nervous, anxious, maybe even scared, but he stood his ground and swallowed several times before he finally whispered "I want you".

I stared at Jesse for a long moment, then walked past him and into the living room. I said to my son "I'm going for a walk honey. It was a long day at work and I need to clear my head. Jesse is going to go with me, alright?" Andrew grinned at me so I exhaled and asked "What?" Andrew said "Nothing" but then he grinned again and said "Mom, Jesse would follow you into a volcano, big surprise". I narrowed my eyes and said "Don't be crude and get your homework done. I'll be back in a bit". Andrew looked past me and said "We talked about this. You hurt her, I kill you, it's as simple as that". Jesse said "I would never hurt her and you know it". Andrew said "I'm just saying" and went back to his books. Jesse and I made small talk about everything but the subject we both knew was looming. We walked around the block, then down the side street, and ended up in the small park close to the house. I was wearing jeans, sneakers, a plain t-shirt and had pulled on a blue hoodie, and I sat up on the picnic table while Jesse stood facing me. His face seemed dark and determined and I exhaled slowly then asked "What do you want from me. No more games, tell me what you want".

Jesse said "I want you" and apparently that was it. I sighed and asked "But what? Sex?" Jesse blushed and looked at the ground and I felt my heart race and said "Oh my God. You want to date me or whatever they call it nowadays. That's what you want isn't it? You want to be my boyfriend, don't you?" Jesse was so flustered I thought he might pass out but he held his ground and blushed bright red. I breathed in deep and slow, then let it out and said "Jesse. You're barely 19 sweetheart. I'm almost 40 and twice your age. Why would you possibly want me when there have to be dozens of girls your age better looking than me?" Jesse moved closer and blurted "Because they're not you, no one is you". I blinked and waited and Jesse said "I don't feel like this with anyone else. I love you Dee".

Whoa.

I folded my hands and counted to ten, then counted to ten again before asking "Can I be blunt and honest?" Jesse nodded and stared into my eyes as I formed the words I never thought I would actually say. "If I thought you could be discreet and respectful, I would let you kiss me, hold me, maybe even sleep in my bed. If I thought you could handle it, maybe more would happen, but I just don't see how we could date with the age difference. Fooling around discreetly, maybe having sex... and I said maybe, no promises, maybe we could do that stuff, but dating... Jesse.... It could never work". Jesse was shocked, confused and stunned, but he powered through it and said "But it could. I could learn what I don't know, you could teach me. Even if it didn't work out, who better to teach me how to treat girls than you, a real classy woman?" I was in deep and there was no way back so I dove further in and said "If we do this, you can't run around bragging and posting shit on Facebook. People will find out and have opinions, but what would your mom think?" Jesse worked his neck, stared straight into my eyes and said "Mom knows I love you".

I sighed.

I knew it was a bad idea but said "Nothing I say is going to change your mind, is it?" Jesse shook his head and said "The only thing I want is to be with you. Kissing, dating, sex, all of it. You may not realize how wonderful you are, but I do". I tried to gather my thoughts, but they were everywhere, so I said "If we do this, you have to be respectful and kind, and you are not going to just get laid, you can forget about that. You have to earn everything I give you or no deal, no way, no how". Jesse moved closer to me and I parted my legs so he could kiss me. I let him and he was clumsy and nervous until I said "Okay, slow down, calm down, and try that again". Jesse exhaled, then pressed his lips to mine and I kissed him slow and soft. He sighed into the kiss and I felt his body relax when I parted my lips and let the kiss become intimate. Jesse didn't paw me, grab me, or try to rush, but he did want to keep kissing and I had to fend him back with both hands to say breathlessly "Okay, we need to go back to the house before we get carried away". Jesse stared at me then said "I'm sorry Deanna" but I asked "Sorry for what?"

Jesse stepped back and said "For getting excited, for pushing you, I just... I'm sorry". I smiled and said "Jesse... we kissed because I wanted to. If I didn't want this, it wouldn't be happening. I can lecture you for weeks about the age difference and yada yada, but I want the attention. I'm single, lonely and I adore you. More importantly, I trust you. Can I trust you?" Jesse nodded vehemently and said "Completely". I grinned and said "Well, I'm going to test that. When I say no or stop, that means no or stop, do you understand?" Jesse blinked then said "Yes". I said "I'm going to tease you mercilessly, but the end result will be everything you hoped for. If we're going to do this, it's not going to be wicked and tawdry, it's going to be sexy and fun". Jesse stared at me like he couldn't believe it, and to be honest, even though I said the words, I myself was wondering "WTF?" I pushed Jesse back and stood, then held out my hand and he stared at it. I smiled and did a game show wave of my body then said "In order to get this, you have to put in the work, got it?" Jesse nodded and took my hand as we walked back to my house.

A woman walking her dog smiled as she passed and said "Oh, how cute" but she did a double take and stood there staring at us. Jesse surprised me when he looked at the woman and said "We're just really good friends" and the woman chuckled and walked on with her dog. I stared at Jesse and he said "To me your beautiful, but you are older and people are going to make comments". I let go of Jesse's hand and considered what he said, but he took my hand and said "I'm not ashamed of you, so you don't get to be ashamed of me". We got back to the house and I found Jesse's mother Carla getting out of her SUV while her husband Ray stood there staring at Jesse holding my hand... or me holding his. Ray and Carla stared at each other and I muttered "Shit" as Jesse let go of my hand and asked "Mom, what are you doing here?" Carla blinked and said "Last time I checked I don't need your permission to visit my friend. Unless there's some reason you don't want me to". Jesse gasped "No, I was just asking". Ray smiled at me then said "Jesse, remember that talk we had about Deanna?" Jesse nodded and Ray said "Go inside and we'll be there in a bit".

Jesse stood there and said "But..." until Carla said "You heard your father" and she pointed at my front door. Jesse went inside and the last thing I expected was for Carla to smile widely and ask "So what's this?" Ray said "I'm going in to look at your sink, do you mind if I have a beer?" I shook my head and said "You already know what's mine is yours" and Ray stopped in mid stride and said "I think I can say the same". Carla smacked him and said "You need to stop" and kissed him then pushed him towards my porch. Carla and I stood there for a long silent moment then she hugged me and said "Don't do this Dee. We've been friends for almost 15 years, don't let this come between us. All I ask is let him down easy when the fascination fades. Lord knows he's so into you nothing I say will change his mind. We knew this day was coming". I said "I don't know what to say" but Carla said "Just say nothing and promise me you will love him and keep him out of trouble". I said "You already know that" and Carla smiled and said "I do. Also, I would prefer the entire neighborhood doesn't know about this if you don't mind". I said "Damn, I was about to post on Facebook. Well, maybe later".

We went inside and Andrew, Jesse and Ray were playing some kind of shooting game and Carla said "That does not look like the sink, Raymond". He said "It's not" and Carla exhaled and said "Whatever". We sat at the kitchen table with a couple of beers and suddenly Jesse was crowded right next to me. The last thing I expected with his parents in the house and his mother across the table from me, was for Jesse to try and kiss me... but he did. And I let him. He kissed me softly and then sighed as he stood next to me holding me while his mother shook her head and sipped her beer. She glanced over at Andrew and Ray playing Xbox then said quietly "I'm telling you right now, do not try to bullshit me with spending the night with Andy. You tell me the truth every time or the answer is no". Jesse walked away blushing and I sat there blushing as Carla sipped her beer and said "I'm just saying. I'm willing to look the other way for this thing, but I won't be lied to. Call it what it is or don't do it".

I peeled at my Bud Light label then said "I have no plans to just give it up, if that helps". Carla stared at me like I were insane, then she downed her beer and hissed "It didn't". She got up to get another beer then said "Ray, get your ass over here and fix her sink or you're getting nothing tonight". Ray was standing at the sink before I realized he had heard Carla or even moved, and Jesse came back over to ask "Can I spend the night here?" Ray, Carla and Jesse stared at me and I blushed and said "Uh..." Jesse laughed and said "I meant with Andy. We're gonna play CALL OF DUTY. Wait... can I sleep with you?" Carla gasped "I need a drink" and Ray said "You have one babe". Carla stared at her bottle then said "Oh" and started drinking deeply. I said "It's a little soon for that Jesse, but you can stay with Andrew if you want". Ray got under the sink and banged around while Jesse walked off and Carla said "Just keep me out of the loop. I can't handle the stress". I blinked and Carla said "I'm torn because I want him to be happy and you know I want you to be happy, but Christ, do you have to make each other happy?"

I peeled at my label and stared at the living room where my son and Jesse were arguing with someone about a sniper... I think. I said to Carla "If this stresses you, I won't do it. There's too much at stake". Carla glared at me and said "Oh no, you don't get to give him hope and then dash it against the rocks. Hell no. You started this, you see it through, just keep me uninformed and in the dark". Ray said from under my sink "He knows what's right and what isn't, and we trust you when it comes to him Dee, but this is one of those things that isn't in the manual". Carla smiled and said "You know, Andrew looks at me like Jesse looks at you..." Ray banged his head and shouted "You wouldn't..." but Carla said "Maybe just once" and I sighed and stared at the living room again. Ray was sitting up staring at Carla and said "Baby..." Carla smiled and said "I have more than enough to handle dealing with you, so you can stop worrying, I was just being a smartass". Ray stared at Carla unblinking and she sighed and said "I love your dumbass more than anything in this world. Hurry up and finish so we can go home and mess around". Ray exhaled and went back under the sink while Carla rolled her eyes at me and smiled. I stared at the living room again. Ray got up and said "Okay, this is simple Dee. Left sink water, right sink disposal, you put food down the left sink, it gets clogged. I don't know how else to explain it". I sighed and said "Thanks Ray" as he looked at the living room and said "Treat him right and we're even. Plus I'm having a beer before I take my wife home and drag her to the bedroom". Carla said "You can't drag the willing" and they smiled at each other.

I sighed.

Jesse appeared again and stood next to me and next thing I knew he was holding me. It felt nice and I said "Hi". He said "I don't really know what to do" and Carla said "You treat her like you would any other girl, except better because she deserves it". Ray finished his beer and said to Carla "We're making things awkward and I need something you have, so let's head out". Carla smiled and said "Something I have huh?" They hugged Jesse, said goodbye and left while Jesse sat in a chair near me and asked "Am I sleeping with you? What does that mean?" I stared at Jesse for a long moment until I finally sighed and said "It means you behave and treat me like a lady and keep yourself under control. It also means I expect you to push your luck and see how far you can get without being crass or rude". Jesse blinked and then just got up and went back to the living room. Okay... good talk. I rinsed the beer bottles and recycled them, tidied the kitchen, then went to the living room where Andrew was doing homework and playing Xbox... at the same time. Jesse was texting someone and I asked "Who's that?" He looked up and said "Michelle. I was asking for advice".

I sucked in a deep breath and asked "You told Michelle about us?" Jesse said "She's my cousin, she won't say anything, plus mom and Aunt Linda talk all the time, so she probably knows already". Still... I went down the hall and sat on my bed thinking but nothing came to mind, everything was swirling and jumbled. I took my jeans off and was standing there in my underwear and t-shirt when Jesse appeared and said "Wow". I said "Close the door if you're coming in here, I'm getting undressed". Jesse stared at me intently as I stripped off my t-shirt and said "Instead of staring at me like that, get undressed and get into bed. Either we do this or we don't, but no more dancing around". Jesse stripped so fast that I was frozen in place watching. He was young, buff, and in amazing shape... one minute he was fully dressed, the next he was completely naked and seriously hard. I swallowed and moved closer to him as he stood staring at me expectantly. I didn't want to go this far, this fast... or maybe I did? Jesse moved around the bed, pulled the covers down, then got onto the bed. Oh man... was this happening or was this happening?

I pointed a finger at Jesse and said "If we do this, you have to be all in. No one else but me, and your free time is spent with me, not Xbox. This is all or nothing". Jesse was suddenly serious and said "Haven't I followed you around, flirted with and complimented you? Don't I hang around enough for you to know this is what I want?" I stared at Jesse and then said "Swear to me that if I give you what you want, nothing changes tomorrow". Jesse said "I swear". My heart was pounding... then the door creaked... and I froze. Jesus, it had been a fantasy, a daydream, an illusion. I was sitting on the bed with my heart racing, my mind swirling, and Jesse was at my bedroom door staring at me anxiously. He was fully dressed, I was fully dressed. Oh Lord, I imagined the entire thing... this was not good. Jesse asked "Deanna, are you okay? You look stressed". I held my arms open and asked "Will you come hold me? Please?" Jesse got onto the bed with me and we moved to lay on the pillows with him beside me holding me. He was warm and he smelled good and we just lay there quietly. We didn't kiss or mess around, we didn't even talk. We just lay there comforting each other.

Andrew came to the door and said "Okay, this is weird". I asked "What do you need honey?" He said "Renee is coming over, can she stay the night?" I said "Yes, you know I like her. Just behave". Andrew stared at Jesse and then shook his head and left. Jesse sat up and I asked "What's wrong?" He said "Nobody wants me to be with you. Maybe this is wrong". I said "I do. You wouldn't be in my bedroom if I didn't want this. It's an adjustment and it's the age thing. People will talk no matter what, you have to learn to ignore it". Jesse stared at the wall and said "Besides, it's not easy when all I want to do is be with you". He sighed and I said "Then be with me. Spend as much time with me as you want, I'll tell you when I need a break, and I won't be rude about it". Jesse asked "Can I... can we...?" I said "You can sleep with me, but it's sleeping, nothing else. We can kiss and talk and hold each other, but anything else will come in time". Jesse stared into my eyes and said "You're a lady and I plan to treat you like one". I blinked and said "Is that right? What happens when the mood strikes and I want to have sex?"

Jesse looked like he was about to pass out so I held my best straight poker face and waited. He swallowed, blushed, even glanced around the room, but he didn't have an answer. I decided to add a little gas to the fire so I shifted on the bed and said "I need you to undo my bra for me". Jesse was shaky and nervous as he fumbled under my shirt, and it took three tries before he unclasped it. I pulled it off and through a sleeve while Jesse stared at me intently still not answering my question about sex. I said "If you don't have something with you, then you can borrow sweats or shorts from Andrew, but you have to wear something to sleep in my bed. Sorry, but them's the rules". Jesse got up slowly and walked slowly out the door and down the hall. I felt horrible teasing him like this, but I wanted to provide just the right push that I felt he needed. I had no plans to just undress and lay there for him, but I also wasn't going to put up a wall or stop sign. If he played his cards right, he stood a real chance of getting pretty far tonight, he just didn't know that.

Girls are just mean, am I right?

While Jesse was out of the room, I stripped off my jeans, for real this time, then got into bed under the covers and sat there waiting for Jesse. Renee came into the room and said "Hey" and I hugged her when she sat on the bed beside me. I peeked out the door and whispered "Try to keep it down" and she blushed and laughed then asked "Do you like my hair, Andrew can't stop complimenting me". I smiled and said "The red and gold suits you, it's very Autumn colors". Renee said "Sorry to come so late, I just got off" and I grinned until she blushed and said "Stop". Renee hugged me and said "Gotta go drag him off Xbox, I swear he likes that thing more than me". Jesse and Renee hugged as she left and he came back in the room wearing sweatpants and a different t-shirt. He got onto the bed and said "I don't understand something. You're Andy's mom but you're my girlfriend, I'm confused". I asked "About what? Both those things are true". Jesse said "I know, it's just... you're Andy's mom". I had a bad feeling and said "Tell me what's going on, you're making me nervous. What happened in the five minutes you were out of the room?"

Jesse stared at me for a long moment, then stared at the wall, or maybe my dresser. I moved closer to touch him, trying to hold him, but he pulled away, got off the bed, picked up his phone and said "I'm... I'm sorry... I can't do this". I was so startled that I sat there shocked and unable to think or speak as Jesse left my bedroom. By the time I gathered my thoughts and scrambled out of bed, grabbed sweats and pulled them on, then hurried down the hall to the living room... Jesse was gone. I stood in my empty living room with a heavy heart and wondered "Did he just break up with me?" I searched until I found my phone and tried to call Jesse, but it went straight to voicemail so I texted him several times and for the moment, they all went ignored. Renee was staring at me while my son played Xbox oblivious to the world. I walked over and said "Pause or I shut it off. What the Hell did you say to Jesse?" Andrew stared at me and said "Nothing" but Renee poked him and said "Tell the truth or I'm going home". Andrew sighed and said "Okay... maybe I told him to remember that you were my mother".

I was furious and said "I don't need your help making decisions and I damn sure don't need your protection and I especially do not need your permission for anything". Andrew was holding up his hands and said "Mom, he's only... we're only 19". I felt like that steam whistle in the older cartoons. I had enough and blew my stack as I said "You're right. You are only 19, so say goodnight to Renee, because a 19 year old is not ready to have his girlfriend sleep over. Turn the videogames off and sit at the table to do your homework and I will check it before you go to bed. I'll take the keys to your truck, since you're only 19, you're not ready for the responsibility of driving yourself to school and work". Renee looked stunned so I stared at her and said "I'm sorry sweetheart, but he's only 19, so I have to protect him and make sure he makes good decisions and sleeping with someone before marriage is not a good decision". It could have gone sideways, but Renee caught on and said "Babe, your mom is right. You're too young to be doing the things we do, so I'm gonna go. You can call me when we can go on a proper date and I'll let you know if I'm available".

Andrew looked like Dave Bautista challenged him to a fight in the parking lot, and I wasn't sure he might not pass out any moment. I crossed my arms hoping my tirade got through to him and it was a long, agonizing moment before he said "I can fix this. Let me fix this". Renee asked "How? How exactly can you fix this? I haven't heard you apologize and I'm serious, I'm going home because what you did was thoughtless and disrespectful". Andrew gasped and said "Renee, we never fight. We've never fought in two years going out". Renee said "Well, we're fighting now and we're gonna stay fighting until you make this right". Andrew said "Wait. Baby wait, hold on" and he pulled at Renee who had her arms crossed and said "I'm listening". Andrew said "Mom, all I said was he needed to remember you were my mom. I wasn't mean and I don't think I threatened him. Jesse is my best friend and I have put up with him mooning over you for the past two years". What? Two years? How did I miss that? I gathered my thoughts and said "He won't answer my call and is ignoring my texts. For someone supposedly in love with me, this is very confusing and I don't know what to think".

Andrew said "We're going over to his house and talk to him. Renee... baby... please don't be mad? I love you". Renee sighed and said "I love you too, but if you want what I brought you, then you need to fix this". I rolled my eyes and had to suppress a laugh when my son asked "You brought me something? What did you bring me?" Renee said "The only way you find out is if you make this right". They left and I sat at the table eating Doritos and staring at my phone... which was dark and silent... kind of like my mood. A few hours ago I would have never imagined carrying on with Jesse and then it happened and I was excited. Now I was confused and hurt and didn't understand how we were so close to... Well, he had no way of knowing how close he was, but that wasn't the point. An hour went by and Andrew returned without Renee and he was crying... or had been. He said that Jesse refused to talk to either of them and that he and Renee got into a huge fight before she got in her car and left. I called Renee and said "Don't punish Andrew for trying to protect me. This is my deal, please come back over?" Renee said "Fine, but Andrew needs to realize what he did". I said "You can tell him, but don't fight, not because of me".

A few minutes later Renee came in and they went into his bedroom and I sighed, sent Jesse a text that said "I just want to talk" and then went to bed. I was miserable in the morning, not a call or text from Jesse, and when I called Carla she said "He hasn't said a word. I don't even think he ate dinner. Brenda told me what happened and all I can say is he'll come around. He's carried a torch for you almost three years so one misunderstanding isn't the end of this". Three years? How am I the last to know? I thought it was one, Andrew said two and now Carla, Jesse's mother and my best friend says three. I sighed and said "I forgot you were friends with Brenda. I talk to her now and then but that's about it". Carla laughed and said "You might want to make an effort. There's little doubt that Andrew and Renee will end up married and you really should be friends with her mother". I sighed and said "I need a do over starting yesterday afternoon". Carla said "No chance. Jesse may be bent out of shape at the moment, but his feelings for you are deep and strong, just be patient". I sighed and said "I never imagined having this conversation". Carla was quiet and finally said "I gotta run, I'll come see you at the store". The entire day went by with no word from Jesse. Renee texted me and said Jesse wasn't even talking to Andrew and apparently had called in sick to his job.

I went by Jesse's house and Ray said "He's not here and Carla is shopping with Brenda. You want to come in?" I grinned and said "You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Ray sighed and said "I'd like a Ferrari, unlimited Bud Light and season tickets to the Buccaneers. Of course I want you to come in. I think you're gorgeous Deanna, I always have, but I love Carla with all my heart". I sighed and said "Damn. That sucks, I'm really horny. Oh well". The look on Ray's face as I got into my car and waved while backing out of the driveway was priceless. I was parking in my driveway when Carla called and asked "Did you just flirt with Ray?" I said "Yup" and we laughed, then Carla said "Jesse went to his cousin's house. I swear if he and Michelle weren't related I might suspect something". I shut my car off and said "He won't even talk to me, not a text, nothing". Carla said "Another conversation I never thought I would have with you". She sighed and said "Give it time Dee. You just need to trust me". I went inside and Renee and Andrew were at the table doing homework so I laughed. They ignored me until I ordered dinner to be delivered and asked Renee to speak privately.

We went into my bedroom and I said "Tell me the truth because I know he won't... not until he's ready. How close are the two of you to an engagement?" Renee whispered "Wow..." and stared out the doorway down the hall. She turned to look at me and said "I don't know. We talk about it alot lately and I feel like it's close, but no giveaways yet. Where did this come from?" I said "Oh, I just realized your mom and I don't really talk or hang out. It's silly, just forget I said anything". Renee said "I would say yes in a heartbeat. I love him completely. Do you know what he does that I love the most?" I narrowed my eyes and asked "Do I want to know?" Renee laughed and said "Yes. He holds me and listens to what I say. He doesn't get bored or tune me out. That's so awesome it's ridiculous". I smiled and said "I raised him right" and Renee hugged me and said "This will all work out, you have to believe that". I lay there in silence until the food arrived and ate with Andrew and Renee, then cleaned up and went to bed early. There was no point trying to call or text Jesse, if he wanted to talk to me he would.

The next day I was off and puttering around the house cleaning an already clean house. What can I say? I was folding laundry, Andrew was at class and Renee was at work... I think. The front door opened and Jesse came in, stood there looking sad, and said "I'm sorry". I was thrilled and pissed and confused and I crossed my arms and said "Oh really?" Jesse said "Mom said you tried to call and text me". I blinked and said "You should know that. Try looking at your phone". Jesse stared at the floor and said "I can't". Huh? I asked "Why not?" He sighed and said "Well... it's in the river". What? I asked "How did it get in the river?" Jesse shrugged and said "I sort of threw it there. Are you mad at me Deanna?" I asked "What would possess you to throw your phone into the river? Why would you do something like that?" Jesse got red faced and exhaled, sighed, even huffed, then he said "Because all I've ever wanted the last few years was to be with you. I came so close and then I blew it. You know what? I'm gonna go. I'm sorry for everything".

I was still processing him saying "The last few years". So it went from one, to two, then three, and now it was the last few years? How did I not notice? Jesse was almost at the door when I shouted "No. Stop". He turned to look at me and I said "Do not walk out on me again. If you want to be with me so fucking bad, show it. Man up and show me how you feel but for God's sake, stop playing with me. I can't take all this drama". Jesse was furious and said "I would do anything to be with you Deanna" and I said "Then be with me. Stop all this nonsense and be with me. If you love me and want me so much, then show it. Take what you want".

I never saw it coming.

The next thing I knew I was backed up against the refrigerator and Jesse was pressed against me while kissing me furiously. His hands were everywhere and I felt like my body was boiling over. We kissed frantically and with serious hunger while he pulled at my clothes. Just like in some of the best romantic movies I've seen, we kissed almost non stop while falling, bumping and slamming each other against walls, furniture and pretty much everything else. We made it to my bedroom and I pushed Jesse away far enough to gasp "If... if you want this... if we do this... you have to be all in. No more... no more running away". Jesse said "I'm sorry I hurt you Dee. I love you so much I can't think". Good enough. I stripped my blouse up and off and tossed it while Jesse tore at his jeans while trying to take off his shoes. It was sexy and comical as he fell to sit on my bed and yanked at his shoes. I took off my skirt and hurriedly pulled my hair back into a ponytail while Jesse got his shoes off and then yanked his jeans down. His underwear strained to contain a large bulge and I smiled as Jesse took his shirt off then stared at me expectantly. Any qualms I had about being out of shape or worries he would see me naked and bolt vanished. Jesse looked at me like a starving man staring at a buffet.

I took off my bra and Jesse lit up like Christmas as he stood and stared intently at my heaving chest and stiff, erect nipples. My body was electrified and I was warm all over even though Jesse had yet to touch me since we stopped kissing moments ago. Lord this orgasm might be off the charts. Time seemed to slow then as Jesse knew he had a captive audience while he pulled his underwear down. OMG he was huge, at least 9 inches and seriously hard. Forget my issues about my body type or anything else. Any concerns about sleeping with my son's best friend were gone. Out the window, down the street... gone. I stripped my panties down so fast I almost stumbled and then we were on the bed and kissing, just like that. Jesse was warm against me and my hands found his cock and wrapped around it firmly. I breathed "Promise you won't think I'm a..." Jesse kissed me and then he was moving atop me and I let nature take it's course. He shifted and moved and I guided him until he pressed against my wet entrance and then slid slowly inside me.

Everything from that point was a blur. Jesse was deep inside me and stared into my eyes saying "I have dreamed of this moment forever". I pressed my lips to his ear and moaned "This is just the beginning. Treat me right and this is yours forever". Jesse gasped and then just started fucking me. What else can I call it? Jesse stroked deep and hard and I can only imagine all of his pent up lust and frustration came to bear as he was finally inside me and giving it to me. I held him and kissed his face, lips and neck, but Jesse was determined to mine me for gold, silver, or whatever else he could find. My mind wandered and my body quivered as I could feel the orgasm rapidly approaching and knew there was nothing that could stop it. I held my breath, closed my eyes, and then suddenly my mind exploded with bright colors and I could taste vanilla and caramel. I saw stars and fireworks and my body shook as the climax washed over me and lit every nerve, every inch of my skin. I had barely subsided from the orgasm when I realized Jesse was huffing and really drilling me.

I held Jesse and rubbed his back even though I could already feel tingling and knew a second orgasm was a real possibility. Jesse was staring at me wild eyed and grunting, huffing, and plowing me like a winter snowbank. His body tensed, his back arched, I felt his cock throb inside me... and then Jesse exploded deep inside my furthest reaches and I felt a warm splash inside my body. My lights lit up, my bell rung, and then a second climax flooded over me and I couldn't think and could barely hold on. Jesse pumped into me furiously until he was spent and slowed, then settled atop me happy and content. I held him and lay beneath him equally sated and very happy. We kissed after a bit and then Jesse stared into my eyes and whispered "Thank you". I stared at Jesse and said "Just promise me one thing. Two really. Two things". Jesse nodded slightly and said "Anything". I said quietly "Promise me this wasn't just sex. Tell me this was only the beginning. Also, no more walking out on me. I was anxious about us at first, but I want this. I want you".

Jesse touched my face then kissed me softly before saying "I made a mistake and I'm sorry, but I will never hurt you or walk away from you again. I would have waited weeks or forever for what we just did Deanna. I want the whole thing and never want to leave your side. I love you". I touched Jesse's face, played with his hair, then smiled and said "Good. Because you're young, hungry and full of energy and I have all kinds of pent up sexual needs and desires. Your job from now on is to keep me happy and satisfied. The question is... can you handle it?" Jesse grinned and said "I definitely plan to try".
