It was right after the funeral hit. My son and I were distraught from the loss of my husband, but I needed him then. I needed more than just his soul, but his body too. So, I invited him to stay at mine that night.
I poured him a glass of whiskey, and we sat and talked.
“Son.. you know that we’ll both miss your father very much, but there’s something that only he could do for me. And you’ll have to fill in for him.”
“Mum, what are you saying?”
“I want you to sleep with me.”
The words just fell out of my mouth, I could hardly understand what I was saying myself.
“…I’ll do it.”
He stood up and offered me his arm. I took it, and walked up to the bedroom.
He sat on the bed as I got ready in the on suite.
I changed in to a set of blush pink lingerie with white accents. I touched up my makeup with a coat of scarlet lipstick, and finished with a couple sprays of perfume. That’s when I heard a quiet knock at the door.
