Showing Mom a Good Time

While it wasn't as labored as before, Velvet still took relatively deep breaths as she lay on the living room couch, a coldly soaked hand towel on her forehead. One hand held her head while the other rested on her stomach.

About fifteen minutes had passed since the mortifying interaction between her and her own son had transpired. At least, mortifying is what she could settle on for now with her mind still rattled.

She had spent a few minutes just standing at the kitchen sink before realizing the state of her clothes. Essentially on autopilot, she rushed upstairs and changed into a new pair of panties and jeans she had set out earlier. She and Night Light often set aside replacement clothing as a precaution for chance circumstances.

She had discarded her soiled clothes rather haphazardly, simply tossing them into her dirty clothes bin. She had given them a look for a split second before rushing out, as doing so caused a flashback of the pleasure from earlier.

After a short bit of pacing trying to get her thoughts in order, she figured taking a rest would serve her better, leading to where she was now. She almost wished she hadn't.

Her mind now somewhat clearer, she had to focus on what had happened.

My own son.....made me orgasm.

No, that's putting it lightly.

He fucked me. With his fingers. And made me cum. Boy did he make me cu-

NO! I can't be thinking like that! It's incest. He's my son. My son who fucked me goo- Damn it!

Velvet shook her head, attempting to purge her mind of where it was going. It was partly futile, as she had to adress it all.

How could he do this? Why did he do this? He's married. And to the Princess of Love! Love.....

'I decided to show you how much I loved you' her son's words echoed in her mind.

'How much I loved you'........What did he mean by that? She took a moment to conisder how he had behaved when he said that. He was just being playful. Yeah that's it. He couldn't have meant....

No. I could hear it in his voice. Playfully definitely isn't how he meant it. I know my Shiny........

Apparantly not as well as I thought. Velvet's face turned inquisitive, lightly biting a finger as she began to think about her son's apparant feelings for her.

How could he love me that way? He's married. He already has a mare he loves. He couldn't love me like that. He couldn't love me the way he would his wife. Hugging me like that. Kissing me like that........kissing me like that. Putting his hands on me.....like that. Holding me in his big, strong arms. Stroking my body. Playing with my-

The hand on her stomach had travelled down and was getting dangerously close to a certain area.

No! Bad! she chastised herself as she pulled her hand away, giving it a light smack with the other. What he did was wrong! What we did was wrong! That's what she kept telling herself, not willing to admit that deep down, not only had it felt good, it had felt right. Then her mind went back to its motherly state.

He said he loved me..........and the look on his face.......when I tried to hit him. Her heart ached at the memory. It had been a long time since she saw that face on him, and it had always devastated her. Never more so than now, as she had never caused it by trying to physically hurt him.

He said he loved me, she repeated in her mind. He did......all those things. Boy is Cadance a lucky mare. Kind of makes a mare jealo- bup bup bup!

After chastising her wandering mind again, she came to a conclusion. She needed to get to the bottom of this. She had questions in need of answering. She had to go up those stairs and into his room to question him.

Yet she couldn't seem to move from her spot as she stared up at the staircase.

Her mind was at odds with itself, almost exactly like before, telling her to get up and get some information while simultaneously telling her to stay put and forget the whole thing happened. Just ignore it and hope it goes away.

She lay there for several minutes, not even aware of how much time was passing, as her internal argument descended into white noise. The noise ceased once the amount of time after the incident hit the forty minute mark.

She slowly got up from the couch, leaving the towel behind and did not rush the short walk necessary to reach her destination. Her mind was blank as she walked to and ascended the steps.

The barest minimum of coherent thought finally emerged when she reached the door to Shining Armor's old room, which had been kept in order by her even after he had moved out.

She paused as she reached for the knob, struggling to decide with how to proceed.

Eventually she decided on the old fashioned way.

knock knock

".......Shining?" she lightly called, continuing after not hearing a response "I'm.....I'm ready to talk."

A few unsure seconds passed before she got a response.

"Come in."

She stopped again as she reached for the knob, debating whether she should bolt. She shook her head and steeled her nerve, pushing aside her cowardly thoughts.

She opened the door slowly as she peeked in, seeing no sign of her son until the door was completely open. He was sitting on his bed, leaning against the headboard with his arms behind his head, but his face did not match the relaxed position.

The look on his face made him seem thoughtful, still a little ashamed, and also somewhat caring. He was doing his best to seem comforting, that he wasn't angry or nervous around her so as not scare her away. It was working enough.

Velvet slowly stepped in, Shining bringing his arms down and turning so his legs were hanging from the bed. Velvet eyed his old cushioned desk chair and gestured to it.

"Mind if I-?"

"Please" he calmly insisted.

She nodded a thanks and pulled the chair beside his bed, surprising Shining with how close she was willing to get. She made sure to not get too close though, a few feet away from him, avoiding physical contact as much as possible.

Once she took a seat, they just stared at each other for a bit, both unsure of how the other would proceed. Velvet eventually looked off to the side in an attempt to collect her thoughts.

Shining's eyes also shifted about, still a little surprised his mother had come this soon. He was expecting a few hours. He was momentarily shocked and a bit worried when he heard her rushing upstairs not long after what happened.

He soon realized she was merely changing judging by the sound of clothes and her rushing back down. The clean jeans were a dead giveaway. He was relieved she wasn't coming to release her anger, while also a little disappointed she also wasn't coming to talk.

"I wanted to apologize" Velvet finally said, startling her son out of his strayed focus.

"You don't have-"

"I'm sorry I tried to hit you" she cut him off, wanting to get it out no matter what "I wasn't thinking of you as my son at that moment. I'm ashamed it happened. That doesn't mean I'm not still mad, however."

"You have every right to be" Shining informed her "You really don't have to apologize mom. I more than deserved it. I'm the one who's sorry. I'm sorry about what I did......" he trailed off, trying to find the right words.

"I guess I was a little....overzealous in my approach for this."

"This" she repeated "Yes. That's the other reason I'm up here. I.....have some questions I'd like answered."

"Ask away" he replied almost immediately. She looked down, taking a moment to decide just what to ask first.

"What.....what exatly were you.....doing....down stairs? I mean....why did you come down to do....all that?"

"Well...I kind of told you that already when we fini- when we were down there." His earlier words once again echoed through her mind. Her thoughts on them once again returned. Cutting them off to avoid another lapse, she continued to be completely sure.

"What did....you mean when you said 'how much you loved me'?"

"Well that's not too hard" Shining replied "I meant I loved you more than I ever let on before. I'm sure you know how I mean. A lot more than just as your son."

She did, no matter how much she wanted to claim she didn't. What happened was clear proof. And while he didn't one hundred percent confirm it, there was no misinterpreting the words. She struggled with what she said next.

"How.....why.....when....?" she trailed off at the end of the fragmented question. Unable to decide on which first, they all ended up smooshed into one.

"Well" he said with a light chuckle due to her stammering "those are all pretty easy. They kind of all go hand in hand. It was in my late teens. Like any growing stallion, I was already noticing young mares for a while. Then I started noticing older mares. A few of my friends had some pretty good looking moms."

Velvet felt a bit of shame at the feeling of slight jealously from that statement.

"But what I felt toward them was never real. It was like looking at magazines, which yeah they're fun, sufficient, never hurt for some relief. But then I noticed you." That really caught Velvet's attention.

"At first it was a few lingering glances at your...features. I wasn't really conscious of it. I would be staring at you without even realizing it. But then we went to the beach that one summer. You wore that pink two piece bikini."

Velvet knew exactly the one he meant. She mentally cursed Night Light for convincing her not only to buy it but wear it in front of the kids.

"That's how I knew I had a physical attraction" Shining continued "I watched you as much as I could without you noticing. Sometimes you were in slow motion in my mind, especially when you were running through the water with dad.

He slightly ducked his head as he took on a light blush. "I remember hiding my erection by pretending to sunbathe on my stomach. And I even let Twilight bury me in the sand later."

Well that explains that. He never sunbathed that long before, or since. And he always hated Twilight burying him in sand.

"Though the last one was kind of poor planning since the sand started to shift after I discovered the upward view when you walked by me." That made her cheeks heat up. "Afterwards, I started thinking about it and realized it was more than just physical.

"I did know that this kind of thing was considered unacceptable, I tried to ignore it, but it never went away. In fact it kind of got worse from trying to ignore it.

"I ended up sneaking out of bed a few times and watching you and dad downstairs. And maybe a few times when you were in your room." That also warmed up Velvet's face, though it was partly from embarrassment and partly from some new outrage.

"I got so fixated that I had to look into it. I ended up finding out incest wasn't that uncommon or taboo in the olden days like it is now, especially with royals 'keeping the bloodline pure'.

"There was also some psychological stuff to it that was a little boring, but it kind of made sense. The first mare a stallion ever loves is his mother. Some just love their mothers a bit more than usual."

He looked to her with an implicit face, which she had no reaction to. She simply waited for him to continue.

"But then I met Cadance, and....." he made a gesture with his hand "No offense mom, but come on. How could any stallion not be drawn to her? You know the rest as far as she's concerned. Dating, proposal, one hell of a wedding day, and a happy marriage. But deep down....my feelings for you never went away."

That was somepony else in question.

"So Cadance....you still-"

"Love her?" Shining finished for her "Of course I do. After all we've been through, the fun, the bad, the hectic, the crazy. What we have.....I don't think can ever go away" he said somewhat listfully.

"But then why....are you.....here?" she asked, trying to word the question as best she could.

"Doing this? Telling you all this?" he helped "Well funny enough....she actually kind of helped."

"She who-?" she started, not immediately processing the connection. When she did, her stunned face said it all.

"In fact, this was her idea."

"I......I'm sorry?" Velvet asked, utterly dumbfounded and confused.

"You heard me right, her idea" Shining confirmed.

"Ha-wha.....how?"

"I'll let you in on a little secret mom" he said, leaning in with an informational look "A Princess of Love.....can get anything out of you.

"Anything. Your favorite roleplay fantasies, kinks like blindfolding or ropes, how much you want to try anal, secret feelings towards your mother, same kind of feelings for your sisterrrrs friends."

"Friends?"

"Not like what I have for you" he assured her "But every stallion does." Shining was relieved she bought his inclusion of friends. His mother was the one to focus on at the moment.

"She wasn't....mad or.....outraged or disgusted?" she asked very curiously.

"Well, she's the Princess of Love, in more ways than one. Cadance is a pretty kinky mare. And she's all for helping to support true love, so long as I still love her. She got that point across very well.

"It helped spice things up in bed with a little roleplay for a while. Also just in general; let me tell you, that mare has gotten me used to days worth of teasing. Then she sprung the idea on me last week. She said I should do it, especially since you and dad had seperated. She said she could feel that both you and me needed this. And she guaranteed she'd help in any way.

"So she sent me off knowing our visit was coming up and we realized it was perfect with Twilight's business occupying her. Cadance even told me not to worry about her and that she would be helping Twilight. So I came as I normally would. I made a poor choice in how to start off and....here we are."

Velvet took a moment to allow the information to sink in.

"So she sent you....so you could....."

"Show you how much I loved you. And hopefully come back with some satisfying results. Thankfully she taught me some spells to make sure my, or technically our efforts weren't in vain."

"What spells?" she asked, now very cautious.

"Well I'm sure you noticed you didn't remember a few things. You and dad seperating for example, or me being here for the visit."

"That was because of you?"

"Well, me and Cadance figured I couldn't go into this without some help, and some assurance that it had a chance of working."

"And how did you get that?"

"With the first spell." He elaborated when he saw her quizzical expression. "I looked into your mind. Dug around your subconscious a bit. Looked for the deeper things."

Her eyes widened at this informstion. If he had looked into her mind, then...

"I saw your dreams, mom. In full clarity." She had no response. "I know they started happening after the seperation. I saw that when I was using the memory blocker spell, when I was choosing what to push back."

Eventually she spoke, though not well.

"Shining that....those are....that's...."

"Natural for a mare to feel? Because even if she's seperated from her husband she'll be attached to reminders of him? Like her son?"

Again, she had no response. She was going to say something along the lines of "natural" but not take it in that direction. She was gonna say it was natural for a divorced mare to be attracted to someone similar to her husband, though from there she realized it would've delved dangerously close to what Shining had said.

Velvet looked away, not sure how to continue, her hands resting face down on her legs. Her anger had almost completely faded as she had listened to his explanations. She almost couldn't find it in herself to be mad at him. It was just how he felt. And how she had been feeling a bit, she reminded herself.

Then she felt something touch her hand. She looked up to see Shining was looking at her with a caring smile, his hand on hers. He started to stroke his thumb over it as he spoke again.

"Mom......it's really nothing to be ashamed of. At least I don't think so. The whole thing's been kind of demonized a little harshly by moral crusaders and the like. But as Cadance said to me: Love is love, and something like blood relation shouldn't hold it back if it's true. It's even accepted to an extent. Some royals still stick to it, trade secret by the way, and no one really bats an eye at someone getting with a third cousin and beyond.

"I've noticed things about you in more recent visits mom. You're not as happy as you used to be, not as lively." Velvet looked down at their touching hands.

"You know I'm right. It feels like you're missing something and you haven't been able to find it. That much is clear from how little dates you go on and how well they turn out."

She looked back up at him with small alarm, silently asking how he knew that.

"Cadance and Twilight talk."

She looked back down with an annoyed expression. This is why you don't have girlfriend chats with immediate family. Friends and secondary family. Who don't interact with immediate family.

"Plus, Cadance basically confirmed it for me" she looked at him again questioningly "With her position and her powers, she can sense love in others. She told me what I told you, about something missing. That romantic love was barely present in you. Like she said, we both need this."

Once again, she looked off to the side in quiet contemplation. She went over all he had told her, especially the things about herself. And he wasn't exactly wrong. Any dates she had gone on were decent at best and never went further than a couple with the stallions she went out with.

And they definitely didn't progress to anything intimate, emotionally or physically. She had gone to bed many a night with only her fingers or her vibrator to alleviate her. But could she possibly accept the real thing from her son?

Her position on the whole thing being wrong had died down in its intensity, and now. Now she had no idea how she felt. She couldn't deny the dreams she had or her enjoyment of them. And Shining definitely held a special place in her heart.

But for it to become romantic?

She just didn't know.

"Mom" Shining spoke, calling her attention back to him. She realized she had started to stroke Shining's hand with her own thumb unconsciously, both of them now doing the same thing.

She didn't stop herself, focussing on Shining, who she noted was looking at her rather seriously, though calmly as well. The seriousness was in his eyes.

"I'm offering you something that you don't just need, but deserve. Something that could make you happy. Someone that can make you happy. If you let them."

She looked into his eyes for a time before looking back to their hands, contemplating.

"It's your choice of course" Shining said "I'll understand if you say no."

He began to pull his hand away, only to stop when he found Velvet had slightly entwined her fingers with his. She didn't look up as she flexed her fingers the slightest bit.

After a few moments of pure silence, she spoke.

"Honey....what would other ponies say if they found out?"

"It doesn't matter what they'd say, let them think what they want."

"But I mean....there would be consequences if we were found out, even if royalty is in our family."

"We'd be smart, and careful about it. I guarantee it."

"And what about Cadance?" she was grasping at straws now "What about your marriage?"

"Need I remind you she's all for it and it was her idea?" he said with some slight amusement "I can assure you our marriage is in no kind of danger. Even if we go through with this, it wouldn't mean me leaving her or the other way around. It would mean you joining us in our happiness."

Velvet was out of things to consider. She tried to come up with more things, but they came out as false starts. She either didn't have anything or what she did come up with she realized would most likely be eliminated with answers similar to the ones she was already given.

Pregnancy? They'd be careful.

Friends and family finding out? Same thing.

That it was wrong? Shining had pretty much blown that out of the water. So much so that she was starting to identify with his reasoning.

"Mom" Shining said, once again breaking her out of her trance "I love you. All I want is to give you the happiness you deserve. And you can have it, if you give me a chance."

Shining had been slowly leaning in as he spoke. When he stopped, he closed the last bit of distance between them, giving her a small kiss on the lips. Her own lips reacted as it ended.

This made Shining give her one more but keeping the connection a bit longer. Velvet sort of melded to the kiss as she closed her eyes, returning it with the same tameness.

After a few seconds, she broke the kiss and turned her head away. Her breathing had hitched up a bit. She gave her lips a brief lick before speaking.

"Shining I....." she trailed off before seperating her hand from his and standing up "I.....I need time to think."

"I understand" he replied. Velvet gave him one last look out of the corner of her eye before walking to the door and exiting.

Velvet entered her own room and closed the door, leaning against it after doing so. She placed her fingers over her mouth in contemplation. She had no idea how long she stood there, but figured it must have been a while when her legs got tired.

She went to lie down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling in her deliberation. She eventually dozed off due to the physical and emotional exhaustion finally catching up to her.

As she slept, Shining actually followed her path to her room. He took a chance after hearing some light snoring and open her door just the slightest bit. He saw she was indeed asleep.

He realized he had started staring at her again and shook his head, knowing his mother would most likely disapprove of him spying, no matter how innocent. He closed the door but couldn't help but be curious of something.

Against his better judgement, he charged up his horn and proceeded to look through her mind yet again. What he discovered was some more dreams involving him, but ones that were more romantic than sexual.

He could also tell his mother really was grappling with the whole thing, considering the dreams weren't full and entirely clear. More like fuzzy, short bursts.

He stopped himself before he reflexively changed the spell to the enhancer he had used before. He decided he'd done enough.

He went back to his room and laid in his own bed, staying awake as he silently hoped that his mother would say yes.

A few hours passed before Velvet awoke, Celestia was starting to set the sun, and Luna's night was not far from emerging. After waking up, memories of what had happened earlier flooded back in, making her pause. She still hadn't decided.

Her stomach rumbled, making her realize she hadn't eaten in a while. Similar to her changeing clothes earlier, her body seemed to move on its own, taking her down to the kitchen.

She prepared a batch of oatmeal while her mind mostly stayed on the situation. After she sat down and ate for a bit, she spotted Shining coming down the stairs.

He was rubbing one of his eyes, telling her he had also dozed off at some point. When he opened his eyes, he froze in his steps. The mother and son stared at each other wordlessly.

"I was hungry" Velvet finally said, indicating to pot still on the stove "There's still some oatmeal if you want some."

"Sure" Shining replied a little quietly. He served himself a bowl but refrained from sitting down, deciding it'd be better to still give his mom some space.

Velvet finished before Shining and washed her bowl in the sink, not acknowledging him as he continued to eat nearby. She departed for the stairs and back to her room.

After returning to her bed, she considered her actions, or lack thereof, may have been somewhat rude. Given the circumstances and their similar behavior, she didn't focus on this long.

Time passed and night fell as Velvet continued to ponder, not even reacting to the sound of Shining returning to his own room. He had taken the same relaxed position from earlier as he started considering if this had all been a good idea.

After some time and weighing everything, options, choices, outcomes and feelings, Velvet finally came to a decision.

"Shining" the stallion lifted his head at the sound of his name from across his room "Please come here."

Shining Armor lifted himself up completely and stood up from his bed. He patiently walked from his room to his mother's, eventually reaching her door. He was surprised to find himself hesitating but managed to turn the knob in the end.

He was further surprised when upon stepping in, he discovered his mother standing not too far and facing him. Her mostly darkened room, illuminated quite a bit by the moon, left him hard pressed to read her facial expression.

From what he could see, she appeared to be rather calm, her face almost blank. They both stayed where they were, staring at each other for a time.

"I've made my choice, Shining" Velvet finally said, taking a step closer.

Shining didn't respond, waiting for her to continue. What happened next was something he wasn't expecting.

In a swift motion, Velvet closed the distance between them, wrapping her arms around Shining's neck and bringing their lips together.

While at first taken aback, Shining embraced the sudden kiss, placing his hands on his mother's hips, his fingers on the edges of her behind.

Almost immidiately, Velvet's tongue probed her son's lips for entrance, and was just as quickly allowed in. Once again they were locked in a passionate kiss with their tongues intertwining and massaging each other.

Velvet moaned into her son's mouth with lust and some other form of want, an emotional want. She raised one of her legs, wrapping it around Shining's, allowing her to lightly hump him.

This continued for a full minute before Velvet broke away, allowing them both to obtain some much needed air.

"So that's a yes?" Shining asked, which caused Velvet to give a short laugh before resuming the kiss. Shining broke away to speak again.

"Seriously though, you're saying yes?"

Rolling her eyes at his attempt at humor, Velvet turned the both of them and threw herself back, taking Shining with her. They both landed on the bed, Shining slightly surprised by the action.

"Just shut up and kiss me before I change my mind" she said in her secret weapon voice. She pulled his head down, not waiting for him to follow the order.

Shining soon became just as engrossed in the kiss as his mother, and started to let his hands roam.

"Mmhm" Velvet moaned enthusiastically as her son's hands stroked her all over as they had before. From her torso, to her legs, to her plot.

She smacked his hand away when he attempted to unbutton her jeans.

"Uh uh uh" Velvet said as she wagged a finger "You got more than enough of that today."

"But-"

"No buts Shiny" she said a little sternly "Besides, just because I agreed to this doesn't mean you won't be punished for your little stunt earlier. So your punishment will be having to wait."

She accentuated her statement by rubbing the bulge in Shining's pants before bringing her mouth to his ear to whisper in her best voice.

"Even though I'd love to have you as soon as possible."

"You're just as evil as Cadance" Shining said after releasing a shudder "I'm not sure I can wait too long."

"Oh, don't underestimate yourself Shiny" Velvet replied half caringly half vexingly "After all, you did say Cadance got you used to days worth of teasing."

Shining reared back with wide eyes, eliciting a giggle from his mother.

"Aw, don't worry sweetie. You can still stay with me tonight" she said before switching back to her best voice "Now give mommy a kiss."

Shining complied and the pair continued to make out and fondle each other until they started to doze off.

Velvet had one last thought before drifting off to pleasant slumber.

This....is going to be fun.
