Hard time sleeping

Laura woke several times during the night. Dan's hands hadn't wondered, but that hadn't stopped him from rubbing up against her during the night. She wondered what dreams he was having, then decided she didn't want to know. If she needed, she could nap after he'd gone to work. It had been a mistake to cuddle with him the night before. She cursed at herself for being a fool.

Dan shifted around on the mattress, obviously trying to rise.

"I've been up for a while," Laura said into the darkness. "You don't need to worry about waking me."

"Morning," Dan greeted with a smile.

"I can get it," she said as the air mattress shifted a little.

"I've got it. I might as well get up and get a shower."

"...okay, enjoy. I'm going to start breakfast in a few," Laura called after him. "Could you get the light before you go in?"

"Sure," Dan said as he redirected to the light switch.

Laura sat up on one arm to watch her son move around their apartment. She couldn't put words to her feelings. When he turned around, his eyes widened and dropped to her chest. It too her a second to realize she was flashing him a generous view of her breasts. "Oh," Laura said as she pulled the sheet up to cover herself.

"It's okay," he said as he walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind him. A short time later, he came out and toweled off his hair. "I smell eggs and bacon," he commented. "It smells amazing."

"Thank you, dear," Laura said from the stove. She'd put on another shirt. It already had little splatters of clear flecks across the front. "We need an apron," she said with a **** laugh. "Put it on the list, please."

"Oh man, yeah. Grease burns are no joke," Dan commented as he put on his jeans and pulled them up. Laura watched him dress and looked away when he tucked himself into his pants. Looking back, she caught him staring and smiled at him before going back to cooking.

"Almost done," she called as Dan finished dressing. "You're off at what? Seven?"

"No, it's an early day. I'm off at one."

"Oh good, we can shop for a while before traffic really starts up. I'll keep thinking of things to add to the list. If I can, I'll pop down to the library and see what prices we're working with. I've still got the other gift card, too."

"Works for me," Dan said as he came over to the stove and hugged his mother from behind. She stiffened as her body warmed to his touch. She sighed and relaxed into his embrace. "Thanks for cuddling with me last night," he muttered into her ear. Her heart rate skyrocketed.

"... I enjoyed it," she managed to get out as she continued to gently scramble the eggs in the pan.

"Think we can do it again tonight? I haven't slept that well in a long time." Laura let out a strangled laugh. She'd just talked herself into never cuddling with her son again. And yet, she almost said yes immediately. "What? I'm serious," Dan challenged.

"No, I'm not laughing at you, dear. Well... yes... we can... if you want," Laura finally answered. She realized his hard cock rested on her ass. She pushed back, trying to make space, and only made things worse. Dan releasing his grip around her stomach. "The eggs will burn. Go sit down," she said, not looking at him.

"Okay," Dan shrugged before kissing his mother on the shoulder. "Thanks for breakfast."

Laura shivered. "I... you're welcome," she managed to get out. He was supposed to be an inexperienced lover, and here he was hitting all of her buttons. It was maddening.

After Dan left, Laura took a very long bath and jilled off. Her thoughts were so jumbled that she didn't get the relief she craved. It was maddening. Angry, frustrated, and stressed about everything in life, Laura decided to direct her traitorous brain to something productive.

A few hours later, Laura looked up from the public computer in the local library. Her son texted her. She'd almost forgotten the time.

Dan: Hey, mom, do you want me to come get you after work?

Laura: No, I'll just drive over. I can go ahead and start looking around while you finish your shift. We can meet up once you're clocked out.

Dan: Awesome, works for me. I've got a few more ideas and I spent my lunch looking over prices.

Laura: I did a little legwork myself.

Dan: And what great legs they are! I can't wait to see what you've got.

Laura froze as she read the text again. He was not flirting with her! This was getting out of control. She decided to ignore the text and hope he'd forget about it.

A little while later, she made her way over to Big Bucks. Waiting for Dan to find her near the front check lanes, she stepped over and looked at some of the clothes.

"Hey, mom!" Dan greeted as he stepped up beside his mother.

"How was work?" she said with an affectionate hug. Despite whatever was going on between them, she loved her son.

"Great actually. Well... except cleaning up some kid's sick on the floor. That's never fun. Anyway, here's my list," he said as he drew out a bit of scratch paper.

"Let's see if we agree on what is necessary," Laura mused as she took the sheet.
