Mom, I'm Home

(This continuation pays tribute to the original author xuehei123. This is defined as a "pistol story," with extensive mother-son dialogue and sex scenes. If you dislike it, don't enter.)

"Mm... Mom... you're still so tight... We haven't done it in so long. Did you miss me?"

"Ah... bad boy, you bully your Sister Xia the moment you come home. Mm... feels so good... Sons are still the best, young... mm... harder."

In the kitchen, Mother's White Skirt had been pulled up. Her Lace Underwear remained on, pushed aside by me, while my stiff cock raced through Mother's Honey Cave.

I stood behind Mother, holding her fat buttocks as I ploughed hard. We had only been Separated for a little over half a year, but Don't Know how Mother had changed. Her S-shaped Figure had become even more alluring. Her Breasts, which one hand could not hold before, now seemed even bigger, and her buttocks had grown fuller too. She was every inch a charming Mature Beauty.

"Ah... son... harder... you really are something. You come back and... mm... fuck me right away. Aren't you afraid Tingting and Your Dad will find out?" Mother panted sweetly as she complained.

"It's fine, Sister Xia. My dad is watching a War Movie, and Tingting is resting in the room. Sister Xia, you're too beautiful. You Don't Know, when I saw you wearing that White Skirt to pick me up... I got hard right then." I replied as I grabbed Mother's Fat Breasts through her clothes.

Honestly, Mother had looked incredibly beautiful when she picked me up at the Train Station. I had not seen her for over half a year, yet Every Frown and Smile of hers had lingered in my mind. Only when I finally saw her again did I understand the power of missing someone.

Mother wore a White Skirt that highlighted every curve of her graceful figure—her Plump Chest and perky Buttocks. Don't Know how many people at the Train Station had kept glancing at her, while my cock had long since risen for Mother.

As soon as we got home, Mother went to the kitchen to cook. Unable to hold myself back, I quickly settled Tingting down, found an excuse to help in the kitchen, and rushed with Mother into "Happy Land."

"Ah... always such a Slick Tongue... Your Wife is pregnant and resting, yet who would have thought... her husband is returning to his 'hometown'! Mm... Good Son... your cock is so hard inside... feels so good... Mom Miss You so much... harder... so good..." Mother stuck out her perky buttocks and pushed backward with all her strength while I thrust forward, as though I wanted to stuff my whole cock and Testicles into her Peach Blossom Cave.

"Sister Xia, why do I feel like... you're even tighter than before? You're clenching me so comfortably." Mother's pussy felt tighter than before, wrapping around my cock and nearly making me surrender early several times.

"Mm... that's Mom's Little Secret... I'm not telling you... ah..." Mother suddenly turned playful and kept me guessing.

"Fine! You still want to deceive your Good Husband? Just watch how I deal with you!"

I suddenly sped up, thrusting forcefully into Mother's pussy. Every stroke went all the way in, and I could feel her cervix rubbing against my glans. It was unbelievably thrilling.

"Ah! Bad Son, Bad Husband, you hit the bottom! Ah, ah... oh, oh... so good! Tiantian, Mother loves you... Good Son, Mom Wants to climax, Good Husband... ah... I'll tell you... ah... it feels too good, I'm coming!"

"Hmph... let's see if you still dare to... be naughty." As I said that, I suddenly realized I was about to come too. I had overdone it. I had meant to "punish" Mother, but it had been so long since we had Made Love, and doing it in the kitchen was too exciting. I was about to cum. Forget it, I would enjoy it first!

"Ah! Sister Xia, my Good Mother... I'm coming too, I'm going to shoot!"

"Oh! Shoot for me, Good Son... mm... let's climax together... hurry, give it to me... Shoot Inside!"

"Mm!" Hearing Mother's Seductive Words, I could no longer hold back. Stream after stream of semen shot heavily into Mother's pussy, while the flesh walls inside clamped tightly around me as if they wanted to suck me in.

"Ah... I can feel my Little Husband's semen... Shot Inside... feels so good... Mom is filled up!"

Listening to Mother's lewd words made me show signs of getting hard again, but this was not the time. Father and Tingting were outside, and if I stayed too long, they might grow suspicious.

So I suppressed my urge to have another round with Mother. As I enjoyed the Tender Moment of my cock inside her, I kneaded her Breasts with both Hands and Leaned On her shoulder. "Mom, my dear Sister Xia, why are you so horny today? Did you really Miss You?"

Mother turned her head and whispered in my ear. The blush on her face had yet to fade, making her even more radiant. "I really missed you so much, Xiao Tian. You Don't Know, after Your Dad injured his leg, I had to manage everything at home by myself. I was truly exhausted. Your Dad can't sleep with me anymore either, and besides, you are already in my heart. I would feel embarrassed Making Love with him again."

"Ah..." Mother sighed, Grasped my hand, and placed it on her Breasts with hers. "Although we talked on the phone every day, I really Miss You. This family needs a man who can hold it up, you know? My Little Husband." As she said that, Mother turned around and gave me a Passionate Kiss. Feeling her passion and understanding how difficult things had been for her at home, I kissed her back fiercely.

"When I heard you were coming back, I was so happy. I thought about it for a long time at home. Mom is already Over Forty. I spent the first half of my life working for this family. Now I've Thought It Through. I want to pursue my own happiness—being with my Good Son!"

Mother looked at me with emotion. "I want to Make Love with you. I want to be your Wife. It doesn't matter if I have no status. I won't interfere with you and Tingting. I just want to be with you. That is enough. I have already lost your Brother. I can't lose you too."

After hearing that, I felt not only moved but deeply guilty. After marrying Tingting, I really had neglected my communication with Mother. With such a Beautiful Mother willing to be with her son, I could only repay her by giving her even more love.

"Sister Xia, don't worry. I'll definitely treat you well from now on." I wrapped Mother tightly in my arms, showing her how moved I was.

"By the way, didn't you ask why I'm tighter down there now? Let me tell you. I've been taking care of Your Dad lately, so I haven't had much time to go out. There happened to be an Aunt in our Residential Area who practiced yoga. After we got acquainted, she taught me yoga every day, and whenever I had time, I practiced at home."

"Ah?! Mom, yoga can make you tighter down there? That's great!" As I spoke, my cock, still inside her, thrust into Mother's pussy again.

"Ah! Are you trying to kill me? Bad boy!" Mother was suddenly jolted, and her pussy tightened at once. It felt insanely good!

"Don't Move. Listen to me. At first, I just practiced normally, but later there were several yoga poses where you had to stick out your buttocks. That Aunt told me that if I did those poses more often, they could make my husband never want to leave!"

As Mother spoke, she threw me a seductive glance. Just as I was about to reply, I suddenly felt the Peach Blossom Cave below clenching around me again and again, as if it were giving me a massage.

"Oh... Sister Xia, so this is... your Little Secret... feels too good... I want to fuck you again!"

The moment Mother clenched like that, I wanted to get hard at once, Engage in Battle, and fight Mother for hundreds more rounds.

"Ah... Little Rascal, stop thrusting. You're home now... are you afraid there won't be time to... Make Love?" Mother stopped me in time to avoid being discovered by the other two outside.

Thinking that there would be plenty of time later and that it was unwise to act now, I slowly pulled my cock out, squeezed her Breasts twice more, then put on my pants amid Mother's coy complaints and left the kitchen.

The moment I opened the Kitchen Door and took only a few steps, I saw Tingting come out. "Hubby, is the meal ready? You worked hard, helping Mom for so long."

Tingting gently patted my chest. Seeing the sweat on my forehead, she thought I had worked terribly hard.

Still, I really had worked hard just now—it had taken a lot out of my waist.

"It's nothing. I'm back home, so I should do some housework. We can eat soon. You sit down first. I'll call Dad over."

The meal was naturally warm and sensual. Why sensual? Because Mother actually rubbed the tips of her toes against the base of my thigh. Several times, she even brushed my glans, making me hard for quite a while.

Whenever I saw Mother throwing me seductive looks, I felt both thrilled and scared—scared that Father or Tingting might notice, and somewhat scared by Mother's enormous change as well.

They said women at forty were like tigers, and it truly was not an exaggeration.

Luckily, after getting pregnant, Tingting was not as lively physically or emotionally as before. Father hurriedly finished his meal and went to watch television. Neither of them noticed anything, and that sensual Family Banquet ended just like that.

After dinner, I sat in the room while Tingting dozed on the bed. Pregnant people reacted differently; Tingting was simply sleepy, sleeping as much as twenty hours a day. Fortunately, she had no other serious symptoms.

I wondered whether I should apply to the company to open a Branch Company near home. One reason was to make it easier for me to "take care of" Mother, and another was that it would be closer to home, allowing the Pregnant Woman to be looked after properly.

As I thought, I called Uncle Li and told him about the Branch Company. Uncle Li was extremely pleased. He strongly supported my desire to expand in that direction and even specially approved funding for me.

He said he would handle the renovation and design contacts, and construction was expected to begin in Half a Month.

I was delighted too. This way, I could finally live at home long-term and no longer have to run around everywhere.

Thinking of that, I looked at Tingting, who was still resting, slipped quietly out the door, and went to the kitchen. Mother was still washing dishes. I stepped forward and put an arm around her shoulders. "Qiu Xia, I have good news!"

"Ah!" Mother was Startled. Only after seeing it was me did she nudge me with her elbow in mock annoyance. "Stinky Kid, you scared me to death! What good news?"

"I spoke with the company just now. They agreed to let me open a Branch Company here, so I can stay home and keep you company properly. Isn't that good news?"

"Really?! That's wonderful!" Mother was overjoyed. The thought that I could stay with her for a long time made her emotional. She suddenly turned around, wrapped her arms around my neck, and began kissing me passionately.

I responded to Mother with equal enthusiasm, and my Hands wandered downward, reaching her plump Buttocks. I could not resist kneading them.

"Mom, how did you grow like this? You've gotten so much fuller. Your son loves you to death!"

"Mm... isn't it all your fault... Bad Guy... ah..."

"How is that my fault? I haven't been back for over half a year. How could I have made you gain weight?"

"Mm... I'll tell you. Didn't you used to dislike using condoms? Oh... so I... I..."

"So what did you do?"

"I took Short-term Contraceptive Pill... so you could Shoot Inside... mm..." The moment she said that, a deep blush spread across Mother's face, making her beauty indescribable.

"Ah? Really?!" I was thrilled. That meant not only could I often "go home," but my descendants could "go home" too!

"Qiu Xia, you're so good!" If I had not worried about staying in the kitchen too long, I would have nearly taken Mother right there!

"What does that have to do with you getting fuller?" I changed the subject to distract myself.

"I asked a Doctor. She said that although this Short-term Contraceptive Pill was not as harmful as emergency contraceptives, different people could have different reactions. My reaction might be gaining a little weight. See? Wasn't it all so you could feel good!"

"That's wonderful, Mom. I really love you to death!"

After hearing Mother's answer, I could not hide my excitement. One hand climbed to her peaks and kneaded them hard, while the other settled on her buttocks and played with them recklessly.

"Ah! You're going to kill me! Mm... Husband... not here. Wait until tonight and I'll give you a surprise. Oh... gentler..."

Hearing Mother's words, I stopped my wandering Hands and asked, "What surprise, my Good Wife?"

"You'll know tonight!" Mother shyly pushed me out of the kitchen. I could not keep teasing her there, so I returned to the room to keep Tingting company, filled with anticipation.

I waited until nighttime, yet Mother gave me no surprise. I felt depressed for quite a while. I even secretly asked her, but she brushed me off with only, "You'll know when the time comes," leaving me with an Irresistible Itch.

Finished Bathing, I lay on the bed searching for a suitable location for the Branch Company. I could not make Uncle Li do everything; I had to contribute something too.

The City Center three kilometers from home?

No, it was too expensive. The company had only been developing for a few years. No matter how much funding we had, it could not withstand that kind of expense.

An Office Building near home?

That seemed possible. It was close to home and convenient...

Hehe!

No, that would not work either. That area had not developed yet. Eating and other daily things would be inconvenient, and recruiting people might be difficult.

Sigh...

This was hard.

As I lay there looking at my phone and listening to my Wife's faint snoring, my Eyelids grew too heavy. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.

I had a dream. It was a Naughty Dream, yet not quite. I felt like I was floating in water. Something warm wrapped around my cock below, feeling wonderful. There seemed to be a mischievous little tongue teasing my glans, slippery and pleasant...

I opened my eyes groggily. By the moonlight outside the window, I saw Mother half-squatting beside the bed, her head above my crotch. Her mouth held my cock, moving in and out...

"Slurp... slurp... sss... sss."

The hidden sounds echoed through my room. Mother had licked my cock until it was fully Hardened, and now she circled the tip with her little tongue. It was incredibly stimulating!

I examined Mother carefully. She had changed into black seductive Pajamas. The thin gauze could not hide her captivating body. In the faint moonlight, I could see her leaning against the bed, her plump Breasts rising and falling. They had sagged somewhat with age, but still drew my eyes irresistibly.

"You're awake, son." Sensing my movement, Mother turned her head toward me and whispered, "Do you like the surprise I gave you?"

Mother's eyes were hazy as she called me "Husband~" with her little mouth slightly open.

The instant Mother called me that, my cock stood even harder. A Stream of Heat rushed straight to my head, and I immediately wanted to pin this Whore down and fuck her until she lost all sense of herself.

But I suddenly remembered that Tingting was sleeping beside me, and my passion faded considerably. "Mom, how did you get in here? Aren't you afraid of waking Tingting?" I was afraid my Wife would discover us, so I held back.

"I couldn't endure it. I really Miss You, son. Mom has held back for over half a year. Won't you let me feel good for once?"

Mother kept tempting me with hazy eyes, completely unafraid of being found by the Main Wife. During the day, she had said she would not interfere with Tingting and me, but now she had revealed her true nature.

"Then let's go to the Living Room. It's too dangerous here." I quickly stopped Mother's seductive behavior and wanted to change locations. If Tingting found out, it would be a disaster.

To my surprise, Mother refused. "No. I want to Make Love with you right here. I Miss You too much. I want your cock!"

As she spoke, Mother released my cock and changed position. With both Hands on the floor, her head facing me, she knelt with her legs apart, thrusting her plump buttocks high and wiggling them at me. The sight was utterly obscene!

Only then did I realize Mother wore nothing underneath. Beyond her plump buttocks were her pale, bare thighs. Mother bit her lip and said, "Hurry and fuck me. Fuck your Wife, your Mother~"

I could not hold back any longer. Whether we were discovered or not, I got out of bed swiftly, knelt behind Mother, placed one hand on her buttocks and kneaded them a few times, then held my already fully hard cock with the other and slowly pushed it in.

"Huff... it's inside... Husband..." Mother almost cried out when I entered her, but she quickly covered her mouth. "Mmph... so full... mmph..."

Watching Mother like that, I had thought she truly was not afraid.

Still worried about getting caught, mischief rose in me. I braced both Hands against her buttocks and kneaded them hard, then thrust even deeper into Mother.

"Oh... oh... ah... Bad... son... so deep... mmph... all the way in... Husband, feels so good... big cock... mm... so deep... so wonderful... Wife... mm... you're fucking me to death."

Mother struggled to suppress her voice as she took my pounding, but she still could not stop herself from crying out.

I had noticed before that Mother possessed a naturally seductive temperament. At the beginning, she had been restrained, but later she became more and more open. Still, it was the first time she had spoken so boldly. Maybe she had held herself back for too many years, and it had all burst out this time.

After thinking that, I took my hand off Mother's buttocks. One hand supported me on the floor while the other reached beneath her armpit and grabbed her wildly moving Breasts. "Oh... Bad Guy... your hand... is... still so naughty."

"Sister Xia... we're already Making Love... why talk about... behaving?" I played with Mother's Fat Breasts. I had to admit, Mother's Breasts were truly huge and soft. One hand lightly held one up, feeling her nipple slide across my palm. The sensation was impossible to describe.

"Mm... mmph... harder... Husband... use your... mm... big cock... fuck me... hard." Mother felt my attention shift to her chest, while the thrusting below had become lighter, so she hurriedly urged me to keep Ploughing.

"Got it, Sister Xia. I'll go harder right away." Receiving Mother's command, I immediately released her Breasts, grabbed her buttocks again, and charged faster and harder!

"Oh, oh... mmph, Good Son... Good Husband... fuck me, harder, feels so good. My son is... fucking... his Mom... mm... so good... fuck me... Good Son..."

Mother panted urgently and moaned in a lowered voice. I worked hard behind her, and suddenly I felt her Honey Cave clench tightly around me, as if it wanted to push me out. I knew she was about to climax, so I immediately sped up.

"Sister Xia, are you about to climax?"

"Mm... yes. Your Wife... is about to climax... love me quickly, Husband~"

Mother began twisting her buttocks without stopping. The Pubic Hair around our pubic areas rubbed together, bringing a different kind of sensation. But I did not want to cum yet. I would let Mother feel good first, so I launched another hard round of thrusts into her Honey Cave.

"Mm... Good Husband... I'm going to climax... ah... right there." Mother's pussy grew wetter and wetter, and its flesh walls clamped tighter and tighter. I knew she was already in the middle of climaxing. I could not slack off now; I had to keep working hard. A woman who loved me this much deserved to feel good.

"Mm, Sister Xia, I feel amazing too. I know you're climaxing. I'm going to make you feel even better."

"Mm~ Husband... you're amazing... Mom climaxed, feels so good... mm..." Mother had passed the most intense stage of her climax and gradually calmed down. I pulled my cock out, helped Mother stand, and pressed her back Close Together against my chest. Both Hands played with her Breasts, changing the shape of those Fat Breasts again and again in my hands.

Mother let out several long breaths and stroked my arm. "Husband is so amazing. You made your Wife feel so good~"

Mother turned her head and kissed my cheek lightly. "Husband, you haven't cum yet, right? Do you want your Wife to let you cum through the Back Door?"

I had entered Mother's Back Door before. To my younger self, it had been proof that I completely possessed Mother. Although using the Back Door felt good, I knew Mother did not truly enjoy it. She had only pretended to be delighted to make me feel good. Now that I had experienced Marital Life with my Wife, I understood that Mother's tolerance had been for her child.

"It's fine, Mom. Don't use the Back Door. You won't feel good either. Just Like This is fine." I switched hands and stroked Mother's perky Buttocks gently.

"Mm, my son is Grown Up. You know how to Ache for me now." Mother was clearly comforted. Looking at me, she said, "But my Husband has finally come home. How can I let him be unhappy?"

Mother turned around, held my shoulders, lowered her head to my somewhat softened cock, and took it into her mouth without another word.

"Hiss..." Feeling the warmth of Mother's mouth and tongue, I sucked in a sharp breath. Her tongue circled my glans without pause. One hand supported her body, while the other played continuously with my Testicles. Under that double stimulation, my cock quickly stood hard again.

I turned to look at Tingting. Her snoring was slightly louder. Okay. Mother's and my restrained cries had not Wake Up her. Thank pregnancy for making Tingting sleep more soundly.

One hand held Mother's head while the other reached for her chest again, grasping her breasts and kneading them with slight force.

This felt incredible. Watching Mother eagerly lick and work my cock, her mouth moving In and Out, strands of hair falling across her face, gave her another kind of beauty.

"Sss... sss... slurp..." The sound of Oral Sex rang out again, seeming to fill the entire room.

"Mm, Sister Xia, I think your mouth is even better at sucking now. Did you secretly... hiss... practice behind my back~?"

Mother pulled my cock out of her mouth, straightened up, swept back her hair, and smiled at me. "No. I Miss You so much that I wanted to swallow it into my stomach."

"Waa, Sister Xia, if you swallowed it, how could I make you feel good?" Then I suddenly hugged Mother. "Sister Xia, my Good Mother, I Love You!"

Mother was briefly stunned, but then hugged me back. "I Love You too, my Xiao Tian. Good Son—no, Bad Son." At the end, Mother could not help laughing. Ai Du Free Novel App offers the Fastest Update with No Ads. Old Bookworm customer service will help you find the books you want to read!

I held Mother, my cock pressing against her stomach, while my Hands moved downward to her plump Buttocks. "Mom, I never get tired of playing with your chest and buttocks." I kneaded them hard several times as I spoke.

"Mm... as long as you like them. From now on, they're all yours alone." Mother replied with emotion.

Hearing Mother's words, I could no longer resist wanting Cloud and Rain with her again. I looked at Tingting. As long as we kept quiet, she probably would not wake up. I said to Mother, "Sister Xia, I thought of a New Pose. It'll definitely send you to heaven."

"What pose?"

"Come, Mom, hold me and Clench your legs around my waist." As I spoke, I had Mother straddle my hips. The instant her buttocks came down, I aligned myself with her entrance and, aided by the Vaginal Fluid she had secreted again, pushed in.

Mother said coyly, "Oh... it's inside again... mm... Didn't you say it was a New Pose? We've already done this pose before... oh... Don't Move."

I chuckled. "My dear Sister Xia, you'll know soon enough." Holding Mother's buttocks, I suddenly straightened my crouched legs and lifted her up. From the momentum, my cock sank a little deeper inside Mother.

"Ah!" Mother was Startled and thrust deeper by me, unable to stop herself from crying out. We both looked toward Tingting at once. Luckily, she did not react.

We both breathed a sigh of relief. Mother looked at me and asked, "Husband, what are you doing?"

I kissed Mother's face hard. "You'll know in a moment!"

Holding Mother while keeping our lower bodies joined, I slowly walked toward the wall.

Mother was roughly 165 centimeters tall. With her Plump Breasts and Buttocks, even though she did not have much fat around her waist, she still weighed over fifty kilograms. Luckily, even though work kept me busy, I exercised from time to time. Otherwise, I really would not have been able to carry her.

I pressed Mother's back against the wall, held her buttocks, adjusted our position, and said, "Mom, my dear Sister Xia, are you ready? Husband is going to love you now."

Mother hugged me tightly and whispered into my ear, "Come on, Husband. Fuck his Mother~"

Hearing Mother's Seductive Words, my cock Hardened even more. "Mm! Here I come, Mom!" With that, I held Mother's buttocks and began thrusting wildly.

"Mmph... mmph... mm, Good Husband... mm... feels amazing... big cock... mm... Good Son, feels so good." Mother began moaning too. One hand Grasped my arm, while the other wrapped around my neck to cover her own mouth, afraid that a loud sound might Wake Up Tingting.

"Mm... Sister Xia, this goes so deep... ah... I can feel your cervix. I Love You!"

"Mm... mm, I Love You too, Husband, son. Love your Wife hard, mm... feels so good. Fuck me, love me~"

Mother was still moaning arousedly. I could feel her hardened nipples rubbing against my chest between our tightly pressed bodies. With most of her full, soft, fragrant breasts pressed against me as well, I felt like Mother belonged entirely to me.

"Mm, Mom... I miss you so much too... I miss your body, your breasts... your pussy."

"Mm, son, make love to me properly. I belong only to you... you alone. My husband... mm, you're so big... I'm so satisfied... mm!"

Mother and I responded to each other passionately, cherishing every chance we had to make love.

After thrusting for several minutes, I suddenly felt myself about to come. Wanting a little more stimulation, I turned my head and took Mother's earlobe into my mouth, teasing it with my tongue. "Hah... Mom... I love you... I'm about to shoot!"

Mother had always been afraid of me teasing her earlobes, because they were very sensitive. A few licks would make her wet down below, and she would immediately become aroused.

"Oh! Husband, you're teasing me again. Ah... husband... son... I can't live without you! Shoot inside me! Shoot inside me! Mm... put it all inside, mm, hurry, son, we... oh... climax together!"

Because her earlobes were sensitive, Mother clenched me even harder inside her, squeezing and sucking more fiercely than during the day. I wrapped my hands tightly around her waist, pulling her even closer. "Ah... Sister Xia, I'm home... and my offspring are home too!"

With that, I could no longer hold back. Wave after wave of semen surged toward Mother's womb. "Mm—Shot Inside... oh! Son, it feels so good! Oh..."

It lasted for more than twenty seconds before my cock finally stopped twitching. I held Mother and kissed her passionately. "Mm... mm..."

After kissing for a long while, we parted our lips. "Hah... ha..." Mother took several long breaths before finally recovering. Stroking my head, she said, "Husband, you're amazing. I felt like I'd just gone to heaven."

Holding Mother, I freed one hand to play with her tits. "Sister Xia, as long as you feel good, we'll never be Separated again!"

Mother looked at me arousedly, her eyes seeming to glimmer with tears. "Mm! Never Separated again."

Mother and I shared another Tender Moment, then I gently set her down and escorted her back to the bedroom. Of course, I couldn't help taking advantage of her several times along the short way.

At the bedroom door, Father's snoring could still be heard clearly. I hugged Mother. "Sister Xia, Good Night. I Love You~"

"Mm, I Love You too, Xiao Tian~"

After returning to my room, I Tip-toed back into bed. It was really funny—I'd been less careful while making love just now. It seemed adrenaline really did make people bolder; once it was released, I turned cowardly again.

As I lay there, I recalled the ecstasy I had shared with Mother. I couldn't help wondering whether Mother had really missed me so much that she had let herself go like she had today, or whether, as she said, she had Thought It Through.

Although today had been exciting, I was also a little worried that Father and Tingting might find out. One side was excitement, and it was no wonder So Many people liked secret affairs—the feeling was truly addictive, unbearably thrilling.

As I kept thinking, exhaustion finally overwhelmed me, and I fell back into a Deep Sleep.
