That Bus Ride Changed Everything with My Son

When Lorena discovered her husband holding the hand of his own sister under the dining room table, right in the middle of her grandfather’s birthday, she knew her life had just split in two. There were screams, tears, a tray of chicken smashed against the wall. And then, for months, an endless succession of lawyers, papers, furniture divisions, and sleepless nights staring at the ceiling. Her son Diego, twenty-four years old, was the only refuge she found.

At first, everything was innocent. Long hugs after returning from her sessions with the psychologist. Movies on the sofa where she ended up with her head resting on his chest. Hands that lingered a second too long on the waist, fingers tangled in his hair while an episode played without either of them really looking at the screen.

Diego was tall, athletic, with the firm jaw of his father when he was still a decent man. Lorena struggled to recognize in him the boy she had raised. The first strange tingle was born one March afternoon, under the shower water. He’s gotten so handsome, she thought, and bit her lip, frightened by her own thought. She was forty, with heavy breasts, wide hips, and a map of pale stretch marks that told the story of her two births. She did not recognize herself in the woman staring back at her from the fogged mirror, with a throbbing between her legs she could not explain.

The trip to Rosario was the trigger.

The bus left with every seat taken and forced half the passengers to travel standing up. Diego positioned himself in front of her, like a shield, so the crowd wouldn’t crush her. They stood face to face, separated by only a few centimeters, both holding the same bar. The driver braked hard when crossing an avenue and Diego’s body was thrown against Lorena’s. His crotch slammed into hers.

Lorena felt the erection immediately. Thick, hard, barely contained by the fabric of his pants, pressing right against her pubic mound through the thin summer dress. The bus kept moving, swaying with every bump, and each movement was a slow, deliberate friction, impossible to stop. Diego clenched his jaw and looked out the window with a strained expression. She dug her nails into the bar and pretended to read an ad at the back of the aisle. They both knew what was happening. Neither of them moved.

When they got off at the terminal, Lorena’s knees gave out. Her panties were soaked. Diego offered her his hand to steady herself and she brushed it away as if it burned.

That night, in the hotel room, Lorena got under the shower. She wanted to touch herself. She wanted to finish what that trip had started in her. Her fingers went down, found the clit still swollen, circled it slowly. And then she stopped. He’s my son. God, what’s happening to me? She got out of the shower trembling, desire knotted in her belly like a rope.

Back home, everything changed. The looks stopped being mother-and-son looks and became woman-and-man looks. Diego watched her cook in short shorts, stopping at the sway of her hips. She saw him come out of the bathroom with the towel loose over his hip and felt a wet emptiness between her legs. The “innocent” touches in the kitchen — hands crossing when passing the salt, hugs that lasted a second too long, kisses on the cheek landing closer and closer to the corner of the lips — were charged with an electricity neither of them knew how to name.

Lorena tried to convince herself that the bus incident had been an accident. Diego didn’t believe it. And he started waiting for the right moment.

***

The moment came at a niece’s quinceañera. There was a banquet hall, dancing, long dresses, and a lit pool at the padrinos’ estate. Lorena wore a tight black dress that marked every curve of her body. Diego pulled her out to dance the slow song and held her against him more than a nephew should hold his mother. She felt the erection against her belly and did not move away. His hands slid down her back to where her back stopped being a back.

When the hall closed and the last elderly couple left, the few guests still around spread out across the estate. Some were snoring on the living room couches, others slept on towels on the grass. Only Diego and Lorena were still awake, waist-deep in the illuminated pool, with the music still playing softly from the speakers.

Lorena was wearing a black bikini Diego had never seen on her before: two tiny triangles that barely contained her breasts and a little bottom that sank between the outer lips like a second skin. Diego could not stop looking at her. His swim trunks formed an obvious bulge under the water.

They started dancing among laughs and splashes, but the distance kept shrinking until it disappeared. He positioned himself behind her. His erection drove into her buttocks like a hot iron, thick, long, throbbing through the wet fabric of his trunks. Every movement, every gentle sway to the rhythm of the song, was a slow, obscene, deliberate friction.

Diego lowered his head and began kissing her neck. Hot lips, a tongue tracing a wet path from shoulder to nape.

—Diego… don’t do that, love —she murmured, trying to sound light. Her voice came out hoarse, trembling with desire.

He did not stop. He rested his chin on her shoulder and they kept “dancing,” swaying only slightly, not moving from the spot. Lorena felt the hardness of that young cock pushing between her soft buttocks. Diego felt the elasticity of that mature ass enveloping him. He’s my son, what are we doing?, she thought again and again, while she moved her hips back almost imperceptibly to intensify the rubbing.

Diego turned her face with a hand under her chin. Their lips were a breath apart. They brushed slowly, only a warm, wet contact, without quite closing into a kiss. It was something more intimate than a kiss: a promise, an expectation, a shared torture.

Then they heard clumsy footsteps and the unmistakable sound of someone vomiting in the flowerbed. Lorena turned her head and broke the almost-kiss. She did not pull out of the embrace. It was her sister, staggering, green-faced.

—Lore… I just threw up —she whimpered—. I want to go to sleep. Are you coming?

Lorena swallowed and forced herself to breathe slowly.

—I’m coming now. Go ahead.

Diego let her go reluctantly. She got out of the pool slowly, feeling her son’s gaze nailed to her wet body. Before wrapping herself in the towel, she adjusted her little panties with two fingers and let one of her buttocks remain exposed for a second. Brown skin shimmered under the turquoise light of the water. Diego clenched his fists beneath the surface.

That same night, locked in the bathroom she shared with her sister, Lorena masturbated with two fingers sunk inside and her thumb moving in circles over her swollen clit. She thought of him, of that cock pressed against her buttocks, of the almost-kiss. She came twice in a row biting down on a towel so she wouldn’t scream the forbidden name.

***

Back home, the air felt thick, electric, as if an invisible storm was about to break between the walls. Neither of them mentioned the pool again. But the looks spoke for them.

Diego no longer tried to hide it. His eyes roamed over Lorena’s body with shameless slowness: the sway of her breasts as she walked, the curve of her hips under her house clothes, the way the shorts tightened when she bent over to take something out of the oven. They were indecent, hungry, possessive looks, and she felt them like physical caresses. Every time those dark eyes settled on her, liquid heat gathered again between her legs.

I should put a stop to this, she told herself while washing the dishes. I should sit down with him and tell him this is wrong, that I’m his mother. But the words wouldn’t come. Deep down, she didn’t want that tension to end. It was the first time in years she had felt alive and desired.

Her masturbation sessions became longer, more desperate, more guilty. She locked herself in her room, turned off the light, and touched herself thinking of him. She came over and over, biting the pillow, but the relief lasted only a little while. The desire came back stronger each time.

***

Until that night came.

Lorena came out of the shower, dried herself slowly, and put on a black silk robe: the same one she had worn on the night of the pool. The fabric slid over her still-damp skin like a whisper.

The bedroom door opened without her hearing it. It was Diego. He came in without asking permission, visibly trembling. Lorena was trembling too, but for a different reason. Their eyes met in the dim light. Without saying a word, he closed the door, turned the lock, and turned off the light. Only a pale strip remained filtering in beneath the frame.

Diego came closer in slow steps and took her by the waist with both hands. She rested her palms on his firm chest. Neither spoke. Only their ragged breathing could be heard. Diego searched for her lips. The first contact was sweet, soft, full of forbidden love. Then their mouths opened. Tongues, bites, muffled sighs.

He untied the knot of the robe. The garment opened. Lorena’s breasts appeared naked: large, round, with pale stretch marks marking the upper curve and the brown nipples already hardened. Diego looked at them as if they were the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He kneaded them slowly, weighing them in his palms.

Lorena’s hands went trembling down to the waistband of his pajama pants. They encircled the erection. And then everything broke. She opened her eyes, shaken, as if she had just realized what body she was touching.

—This is wrong. I’m your mother —she whispered, her voice cracking.

She let go. Took a step back.

—Go, Diego. Please.

He tried to kiss her again. She held firm even though inside her body was screaming the opposite. Diego adjusted his pants with trembling hands and left without saying a word. Lorena locked the door and stayed pressed against the wood, lips burning and temples throbbing with guilt.

***

The next day’s breakfast was a disaster. Diego looked for her eyes, she avoided them. They exchanged only monosyllables. When he tried to say something, Lorena cut him off with a gesture. In her mind it wasn’t a rejection, but a “not yet, I need to think.” But Diego couldn’t hear what she wasn’t saying. Hurt, he decided to back off and stop pushing.

Several tense days passed. They barely lived together. Lorena made excuses not to be at home: coffees with friends, long walks, unnecessary trips to the supermarket. Her friend Susana suggested she download a dating app. Lorena did it that very afternoon, sitting on a bench in a plaza. She started swiping through profiles. Soon she realized she was only choosing young men, tall, athletic, dark-haired, with firm jaws. She closed the app and tossed the phone to the bottom of her purse.

That night she turned off the bedroom light and prepared to masturbate again. She caressed her breasts, pinched her nipples, lowered one hand to her clit. The image of Diego would not go away. On the contrary, it became clearer with every minute. And he was sleeping just one wall away.

Frustrated, aroused beyond reason, she got up, tied her black silk robe, and slipped quietly out into the hallway.

***

Diego was sleeping on his back, wearing only tight briefs. The dim hallway light outlined his abs and the obvious bulge beneath the fabric. Lorena stood in the doorway, looking at him hungrily. She had made up her mind.

He woke as if he had sensed the weight of her gaze. He sat up slowly, without speaking. Lorena closed the curtain. The room was left almost dark. Diego’s hands ran along her thighs upward and undid the robe with clumsy fingers. The silk fell to the floor with a whisper and she was left completely naked in front of him.

Diego brought his face to her breasts and kissed them devoutly. He licked around the large brown nipples in slow circles. He sucked them, kneaded them, tugged gently with his teeth. Lorena moaned louder and louder, arching her back, pressing his head down against her chest.

—Oh, my love… you’re going to make me come like this —she murmured.

He lay back on the bed. She climbed on top, straddling him. She took the cock in her hand and rubbed it against her soaked opening. She lowered herself slowly. When he was fully inside, she let out a long, deep, trembling moan. She started riding him without haste, savoring every centimeter. Diego’s hands sought her breasts and buttocks, not knowing what to touch first. She took his wrists and placed them firmly on her breasts.

—Like that, squeeze them hard —she asked in a thread of a voice.

He obeyed. Her heavy tits bounced with every thrust. The wet sound of her cunt swallowing his cock filled the room. Lorena came hard, contracting around him, biting his shoulder to muffle the cry.

Diego turned her without withdrawing. He penetrated her deep and slow, looking into her eyes. He sucked her breasts with tender violence, bit her neck, marked her collarbone with red hickeys. Then he went down her belly and gave her oral sex with hunger: tongue inside, clit in his mouth, two fingers curving relentlessly over the inner spot. Lorena was on the edge again.

Before she could come, he turned her over and put her on all fours. He drove into her in one brutal thrust. He fucked her with savage force, pounding her so hard that her hips crashed against his buttocks with a sound that was both dry and wet. He slapped her, leaving red marks. He pulled her hair, arched her back.

—God, you’re so fucking hot, Mom —he growled into her ear.

The roughness took her to the limit. Lorena came again, trembling, convulsing around the cock, squeezing him like a hot fist. It was the most intense sex she had ever had in her life: an explosive mix of pleasure, guilt, filth, and forbidden love.

Diego did not stop. He thrust deeper, faster. Finally he came inside her in hot, abundant spurts, filling her until the semen began to spill out and run down her thighs.

Lorena let out a guttural wail that probably woke the neighbor. She collapsed onto the mattress trembling uncontrollably, her legs moving in spasms, her hair stuck to her face like a wet rag. She felt full, complete, loved, sated like never before.

He pulled her against his chest as if she weighed nothing and held her tight. They stayed like that, sweaty, sticky, with semen still escaping between her legs. They fell asleep skin to skin, breathing in sync, in the silent darkness of the room.
