Shotgun

She paused then looked at me and said, "Your mom runs the family, doesn't she?"

I nodded and said, "Family is literally everything to her. My dad rules his contracting company, but my mom rules the home. He has no complaints and they adore each other."

She nodded and asked, "Will they accept me?"

I smiled and said, "They already have."

*******

We stopped for gas about ten miles from home and I called to advise my family that we were due imminently. When we got home, my parents were waiting at my front door. Big surprise, my mom led the way. My mom blew right past me to hug Kelsey, "Kelsey! Welcome! Let's get you ensconced into your new home!"

Yeah, it hurt slightly to be ignored, but my mom was on a mission to make Kelsey feel at home and she got much more comfortable quickly. Mission accomplished.

My mom called back to me, "Do be a good husband and fetch her things and bring them up."

My mom immediately switched back to Kelsey and said, "He will bring your things up to your bedroom..."

My cabin is large for an A-frame. It's a three bedroom though the two lower bedrooms are only ten by ten. Those sit at the front of the house, with an amazing view of the street thirty feet away. On both sides, toward the lake end, a dormer sticks out. One that has the entry door and the other side has the fireplace and mantel. The entry door leads into an open kitchen - living area. With a ceiling that goes all the way to the twenty-seven-foot high peak. The lake end of that room is mostly glass which overlooks the deck and the lake. Upstairs is only the main bedroom and a bath with a shower in it. The main bedroom is eighteen by twenty feet or so. In total, It's fourteen hundred square feet.

Outside, along the right side is a deck with the entry door, and at the end is another deck overlooking the lake and a circular path that surrounds the lakeshore. The deck has an outdoor shower near the stairs at the end along the right side. Below it is a paver patio that has doors leading into the basement which has the HVAC system and storage. Not a palace, but it's my home and... I love my home.

My mom was still on her mission, making it clear that Kelsey was home and that the main bedroom was now her room too. My dad gave me a smirk and said, "Son. She looks good with you. Kind of like she should always be there at your side. Anyway. Congratulations."

Kelsey was bewildered at my home. 1400 square feet is actually below the median, but to her, it was a palace. She stood at the top landing of the stairs leading down that looked over the living room. It was overwhelming to her. She was shaking her head. She asked, "I get to live here?"

My mom came up and softly said, "This is your home now. Welcome from all of us."

She started crying, but in a good way.

At half past eight that night, Kelsey stood outside on my... our balcony overlooking the lake. I walked up and stood beside her as she was lost in her own thoughts as the early post-sunset light reflected in the sky and on the surface of the lake. The temperature was perfect with light wind and calm on the water in front of us. She took a half step to be partly in front of me then took my hands and brought my hands around to her stomach in a half embrace from behind. She smiled and said softly, "I'm actually home, aren't I?"

I squeezed the hug a little and said, "Yes, Kelsey. You are home."

She turned and cried again into my shirt. It was a release. For the first time in her life, Kelsey truly was home.

Tuesday, May 29, 2018

I got back home from work and was surprised Kelsey was not there then remembered that my mom had her for the day. They arrived five minutes afterward. Kelsey was transformed. She wasn't a model, but son of a bitch, she was pretty with light makeup and her hair was now a bit more than shoulder length, shiny and perfect. Yeah, my mom is a wizard with hair and not too shabby with makeup. There wasn't a lot of makeup but a hint of mascara and a touch of blush. Kelsey was no model, but pretty... YEP! Put it this way, If there are 100 random eighteen-year-old women in a room, she is prettier than sixty of them. I married up a bit. Just enough, but not so much people would look and say, "How the fuck did he get her?"

I looked at her in wonder and said, "Kelsey... WOW, you are... stunning."

She stopped dead in her tracks, then came to me and cried into my shirt again. My mom was smiling at me so I must have said something right. She said, "Thank you!", kissed me and not subtly and my mom just smirked.

They were carrying several shopping bags from Target. I thought that was all there was when my mom said, "We bought her a wardrobe. Go fetch it out of the back of my Highlander."

I went to the back of the Highlander. There were six large and four small bags.

I brought the first three ginormous bags then went for the last three slightly smaller ones plus the small bags. My stuff was on the bed. Folded, but my mom had kicked most of my stuff out of the dresser and was putting Kelsey's new stuff in. That plushy cat from her room was now sitting displayed on the dresser and that old pink bedspread and sheet set was put over a chair in the corner as if it was displayed. I realized they were displayed. My wife was moving in and my room was becoming our room. I was good with it, my mom hand lots of little things she placed around her home, and Kelsey was no different. She was adding things to feel at home. The plushy was a well-worn brown stuffed cat with fur missing and a lot of wear everywhere. Clearly, a comfort item she had long cherished.

Five minutes later, my mom decided there was not enough drawer or closet space so we should go furniture shopping. Seven minutes later, I was following my parents' car, to buy a bedroom set after we had dinner at Big Italy Pizzeria.

Kelsey got in the car and sat beside me then started apologizing, "I need to tell you something. Your mom got me a massage today. A man did it and he massaged my ass. He surely saw my vag. He did the towel over me thing, but there is no way he did not see pretty much everything."

I asked, "Hans?"

She nodded.

I said, "Hans is gay. He is married to Carlos and lives five houses from my parents on the other side. He will see all of you every other Thursday at the neighborhood potlucks. His husband Carlos is the DJ. When you meet Carlos, try not to gawk too much."

Kelsey asked, "Why?"

I said, "A surprise for you."

Kelsey asked, "What is the surprise."

I smiled and said, "Just a surprise. Nothing bad."

Kelsey let it go and then said, "I didn't want you to think I was hiding anything from you."

I smiled and said, "Get your ass massages only in my mom's shop okay? My mom would never allow anything bad."

Kelsey nodded and smiled, "I want this to work. I'm happy for the first time in... forever and I don't want to mess it up."

I asked, "How was the massage?"

Kelsey looked at me and said, "Amazing. Stunning. Overwhelming. He did my back side from toes to shoulders. He said my ass was just a big set of muscles. He had me turn over and did my front from toes to thighs. Then he did my arms and finally my temples and forehead."

I smiled and said, "I'm good. But only at my mom's place."

Kelsey nodded and sighed then said, "I swear that I did not ask for anything from the stores. She just stopped at Target after we went to the driver's license bureau and then to her place to cut my hair. After Target, we went to Marshall's and Kohls. Oh, and she told me to stop using dish soap as shampoo."

She showed me her brand new New York State driver's license.

I laughed and said, "Sounds like my mom."

Kelsey looked almost frightened and said, "She spent like nine hundred dollars on me today!"

She sighed, "She spent it on me. No one has ever spent a hundred dollars on me, let alone nine hundred. We had lunch at Chic-Fil-A. Lunch was almost thirty dollars... It felt odd to eat out again. It felt odd to eat out at all."

I smiled at her and said, "I promise that she can afford it and that she loved every second of doing it. My mom has a trust. I'm not sure how much is in it other than it's somewhere in the low millions. Keep it to yourself though okay? We live a normal typical life, not a life of the elite. That is how my mom is. Family is EVERYTHING to her and you are now family."

Kelsey started sniffling at that.

Funny thing. For the first time, Kelsey felt like a part of me. I had a shotgun (OK handgun) marriage less than a week old and I was... happy. Being near Kelsey was so easy. She was simply sweet and wonderful company.

We arrived at the furniture store by seven thirty and after much coaxing, Kelsey had chosen an oak bedroom set. I was good with her choice, it wasn't pink or overly modern so I had no reason to worry. Kelsey had a good and reasonably neutral taste in decor.

*******

My mom quietly came to me and said, "I know the real story. The official story outside of the family is close to your original one, except that she was working in the office of the coal plant."

She laughed and said, "My son had a real shotgun wedding."

I shrugged and said, "Her stepfather... scary bad man."

My mom said, "Did Kelsey tell you about the massage?"

I nodded.

My mom smiled and said, "She is a keeper, honey. I almost had to drag her to the table after her Brazilian and get her shirt and bra off. But after she endured the Brazilian for you, she deserved the massage."

I smiled and said, "She told me she loved the massage."

My mom said, "Good because she gets one a week. My personal wedding gift to her."

I laughed, "Well, Hans is gay so it makes it pretty easy since I see him with Carlos all the time."

My mom said, "I would never allow hanky panky in my shop and I would never endanger your marriage."

She giggled and said, "Wait until she sees Carlos!"

My mom laughed then looked at me and asked, "How did you decide to stay with her? It would be easy to get an annulment for you."

I said, "Her stepfather Earl is scary and even when he isn't yelling, you can feel the rage just below the surface. At first, I was just planning escape then I would at least get Kelsey away from him since he was determined to get rid of her. I changed my mind slowly. I wasn't completely sure until Monday morning when I was about to leave and her mom talked to me. But it started when something happened on Friday night... I loved sleeping with her."

My mom rolled her eyes and said, "Sex does not make a marriage."

I shook my head and said, "No. Actual sleep. That first night together in the trailer my brain was going a million miles an hour and I couldn't sleep for a long while. She fell asleep. I heard Kelsey's breathing as she slept. That quiet, steady breathing. I realized that I liked it. There was a woman in the bed who wanted to be with me and I didn't have to be alone anymore. It didn't matter that I was invisible to other women anymore. There was one... and I only need one... who wanted to be by my side, sleeping or not."

I sighed, Talking about feelings is not a thing guys like to do. But... my mom is my mom and she gets what she wants.

She looked at me and said, "And... There is more."

I paused and decided to give in since my mom wins 99 percent of the time anyway. I said, "The next night I was drifting off when Kelsey backed her body up and cuddled against me. I put my arm around her and she purred. We were naked and her soft body was spooned against me..."

My mom smiled knowingly and said, "It was nice wasn't it?"

I admitted, "Mom. It was downright intoxicating. It wasn't about sex. We had done that already. She was just soft and warm and smelled nice... and she was cuddling into me. Holding a woman's bare body against mine. Something primal about it."

My mom got up and said, "Honey, finding and being intimate with a mate is the single sweetest part of being human. Interrogation over. I know my plan now."

I asked my mom, "Plan?"

My mom said, "She is falling for you. The love seeds are already planted. I am going to help you water those seeds. By the way, did you tell her you liked it when she cuddled up to you?"

I shook my head.

My mom sighed and said, "Truly clueless. Tell her you like it when she does it next time. Any time she does something you like, compliment her on it. Doing that is one of the little things that will water those seeds."

My mom is Rambo and Rambo is on my side.

*******

Our family dinner was in an hour at half past six that night. My mom had gone upstairs with Kelsey and I believed they were just putting things away and organizing. I was wrong. A half-hour later just as I was getting concerned, Kelsey came down with my mom, both naked as they were born.

Kelsey was obviously flustered, but looked at me and said, "This is my family now and I will live as you do."

Her untamed bush of pubic hair was now a trimmed hairy mons and bare vulva. Yeah, her body was centerfold quality. I have to say, her body is VERY nice.

I had seen my mom's D-Cups and shaved twat a trillion times and no, it really did not register on me any more than my dad naked. At forty-six, my mom looks a bit momish, but she eats well and is not overweight. Being part of a nudist family means I have seen a bazillion body parts already. My mom told me to get ready for dinner which was now a half hour away.

Dinner was now a five-person affair with my parents, myself, Kelsey, and my twenty-six-year-old brother Stephen. The addition of Kelsey meant the table was crowded... gloriously crowded. I had a wife who wanted to be sitting next to me and she was sitting hip to hip deliberately close. Kelsey had rarely ever had steak and wolfed it down like when we ate at Arby's. I enjoyed watching her enjoy herself.

My mom smiled and said, "Welcome to the family Kelsey! My son's wife is my daughter and I consider you family."

Kelsey smiled then teared up and said, "Thank you. My family... is not like yours."

My mom did not pursue information on her family and instead said, "Welcome, Mrs. Abrams. I will take you to the courthouse to get your residency change so you can pay in-state tuition then over and back to the campus to get your course selections."

Kelsey smiled and looked at me, "Your mom was so helpful today. I chose Accounting. I will transfer to Kensington University after the first two years are up at the county college in Middletown. I have to go back for an orientation then I will sit at a computer to select classes."

My mom was clearly pushing the marriage to work and said, "They tested your lovely bride. She is very bright. Her IQ is 138. She is a wonderfully supportive and intelligent wife."

I smiled. Yeah, I like smart women.

*******

I was sitting on a loveseat with my wife on our deck looking out at the lake facing the lake with Kelsey holding my hand when my mom came by and asked, "So, do you like the new look on Kelsey?"

I nodded.

My mom asked, "Did you tell her that again?"

I shook my head.

My mom said, "Ugh. Girl 101: Compliment your wife. NOT NOW. But do it at various times. You are the main external person that feeds her self-confidence. Telling her she is pretty is a good thing and it will keep you close to her heart."

I nodded. Kelsey looked embarrassed at this embarrassing conversation.

My mom doubled down on embarrassing and said, "Oh. I took her to the clinic today to get her birth control pills. Build your marriage before having kids."

Kelsey was just looking off embarrassed and my mom plowed on...

*******

Kelsey got up to use the restroom. While she was gone, my mom said, "Son. I like her a lot. You know, she went through a Brazilian wax on her vulva for you. Oh and I trimmed her up very nicely. Compliment her on it. Yes really. She wants to be attractive to you."

My mom looked me in the eyes and said, "She is very sweet. I know you don't love her... Yet. I'm hoping you two can grow together. Be careful. She loves you already or is starting to. I can hear it in the way she talks about you. Those little seeds of love she has. Water them and I think you can go the distance with her."

My mom said, "By the way. You need to put rings on your wife and yourself silly man."

My mom saw Kelsey coming back and changed subjects, "What do you want for dinner tomorrow night?"

Kelsey smirked and saw right through it but did not pursue it.

I thought for a second and realized if Chick-Fil-A was new to her, a real restaurant would be an entirely new level. I said, "I am taking Kelsey to Italian Terraza."

My mom smiled and nodded. A real restaurant. Another first for Kelsey. I was going to water those love seeds.

*******

My mom left. Kelsey sat down hip to hip and leaned against me. Her bare body just leaning against me was heaven. She looked at me and read me again. She said, "Your mom said stuff about this afternoon, didn't she?"

She read me again. HOW DOES KELSEY DO THAT?

I said, "Yes. She likes you and told me that you went through a Brazilian wax just for me."

She put one foot up on the bench to open her legs wide and took my finger, running it along her vulva.

She asked, "You like?"

I smiled and nodded.

She said, "I want to try oral tonight."

We were getting ever better at sex. We practiced twice that night after my first blowjob and I licked her to orgasm.

Mom mom had given my wife a Brazilian and has seen her half-open twat up close. My life is an internet story.

*******

Wednesday, May 30, 2018.

Before we left, my father came to me and told me that he and my mom had released twenty five thousand dollars from my trust to get Kelsey a vehicle. My mom reminded me that her vehicle should be as nice and relatively new as mine was.

Her monthly visitor started that day and I was relieved she was not pregnant. Yeah, a bunch of unprotected sex was dumb, but it was not her fertile period and there was this guy with a gun who made it clear I had better put out. Per my mom's suggestion, we headed to a jewelry store in a small shopping center several miles away. I wanted her to pick her rings. It was hard to get her to think of spending money at all. Finally, I said, "Which is the prettiest ring?"

She pointed at a half-carat solitaire diamond that had four small rubies, two on each side. A half-hour later and twenty-five hundred dollars lighter, Kelsey had that and a plain gold band on her ring finger. And I picked a black tungsten one and we were now properly marked as married.

She was apologetic about the money spent the whole ride afterward when I said, "You are my wife and I can afford it! You are worth it!"

She smiled at that and stopped arguing. Yeah. I scored on that one and I wasn't even trying. She had no clue what it was going to be like when I pulled up to Italian Terraza and took her inside for her first real restaurant meal.

She just smiled at me the whole time. I kept watering those seeds of love.

She blew me again that night. Yeah, it was not anything like a porno. It was her second try.

She really wanted 'us' to work out. I saw her bring out a new birth control packet with all the pills in it. She showed them to me and said, "My monthly is usually four days and I'm looking forward to Sunday."

*******

Friday, June 1, 2018

Kelsey surprised me after work by suggesting we walk around and that she was more comfortable, both because she was getting used to the nudist thing and also that her monthly was usually two heavy and two light days and today was a light day.

We walked around the lake hand in hand. Lake Chantrain is an eclectic mix of homes and cabins. My parents have a larger bilevel of about twenty-five hundred square feet and I live next to them in my A-frame. Three doors down from me is a log cabin and next to it is a converted construction office trailer. All of these home surround a one-hundred-acre lake that is about a half-mile long and five hundred feet across. Two more ring roads surround the one that circles the lake directly and there are about one hundred fifty homes and cabins. The shore has coves and bends so the shore is much longer than it would be if it were an oval.
