The Potion

Many thanks to my editor Evan. Any comments whether good or bad are welcome. Enjoy!

It all started that day. Not an unusual day for an 18 year old high school senior, I got out of school and was walking home through the park as I always do. It was early May so the weather was beautiful and I was enjoying the walk. Then I noticed them. A bunch of kids trailing an old woman. Her appearance was slightly odd, she was wearing a dingy, long flowery dress and a bright pink head scarf. It didn't take much time for me to notice the kids were actually harassing the old woman. Apparently the kids found her looks odd too, and kids being kids, decided to mock the woman. She turned around furiously a fewtimes shaking the bent cane in her hand and shouting at them in a language I didn't understand.

My blood rose to my face as I quickened my pace and approached the scene. I can't stand bullying, probably because I had my fair share of getting bullied. I was almost running as I reached the old woman. I
shouted at the kids from the top of my lungs to leave her alone and after seeing my balled fists and furious face the kids ran off. The old woman turned to me with a smile and I noticed she was much older than I initially assumed. Her face was full of wrinkles and her grin revealed her almost toothless gums. She appeared to be homeless but something in her demeanor told me she wasn't.

"Thank you young man." She said with a heavy accent.

"You are welcome ma'am. I'm sorry they were so rude." I replied. I couldn't help but stare at her toothless grin. Something was very odd about her and I wanted to get away as soon as possible and go my way.
Still, I felt bad for her. "May I accompany you to your home?" I forced myself to say.

"No, no," she mumbled as she reached into her dirty stained purse. It was at least as old as her. "I can get where I want by myself, now let's see..." she said, pulling out a small vial and handing it to me. I took it reluctantly and examined it. The liquid appeared to be clear but as I turned the vial it caught the light and turned slightly pink and in the next moment slightly blue.

"Uhmm... what is this?" I asked confused.

"That is a gift, my child. Make any woman drink three drops of it and she's yours." She said as her grin widened. Not to appear rude I repressed a chuckle.
"Like a love potion?" I said trying not to sound mocking. It was her turn to laugh.

"No, nothing innocent like that, child. It's a lust potion." She said as her laugh turned into a loud cackle.

It all seemed stupid, so I tried to hand the vial back to her, but she grabbed my wrist with bony fingers. She was stronger than she looked. She leaned closer to my face and whispered,

"Any woman you want, my child, any woman. Just put three drops of it in her drink and you won't have to do a thing. Just make sure you are the closest male around."

At that point all I wanted was to get the hell away from her, so I pulled my wrist forcefully away and put the vial in my pocket. She was cackling like mad so I turned around walked off briskly. A few moments
later I turned my head and she was gone, nowhere in sight. Her words were echoing in my head as I kept walking. At that point I didn't believe any of what she said was true but I was feeling uneasy. When she said those words the first female that popped in my head had greatly shocked me. When she said "any woman" I hadn't thought of the hot neighbor girl, the sexy chem teacher at school, or any hot celebrity. The first woman I had thought was a forbidden one. My mom.

I know a lot of sons have crushes on their mothers. But before that moment I had never looked at mom in a sexual way. She's really pretty at 38, but there's nothing sexual about her as far as I can tell. She's just as innocent and sweet as any mom. She never wears revealing clothing or acts flirty towards anybody. But when we go out with my dad I noticed she immediately gets attention of men of all ages. I used to get angry about it, but as I said she never acts flirty so all they get to do is eye her. Even one time one of my friends had joked about her being a milf and we got into a fight for it. But I never saw her that way so I couldn't understand why I had thought of her first.

As I approached home I saw our neighbor's sons sitting on lawn chairs and sipping beers on their porch. Classy as always, I really hated them.

"Hey homeboy, how's your grade card!" One of them called out to me laughing. Aged 20 and 22, they used to be my upperclassmen in high school. Now they were going to a community college nearby. They used to bully me a lot in high school and I honestly hated their guts. The younger, Jason, crumpled an empty beer can in his hand as I tried to ignore them.

"Are you deaf baby or are you gonna call for your mommy?" The older one, Nick called out. One time my mom had to come to school to talk to principal about them, much to my dismay, they never let me live that down. Jason threw the crumpled can at me so I had to duck to avoid it.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I stopped in my tracks and turned to them. My blood was boiling.

"I do what I want, what are you gonna do about it?" Jason replied mockingly.

"You fucking idiots, this is enough!" I shouted and started walking towards them. But then I heard the front door open and my mom yell at me,

"John, enough! Get inside right now!" I considered a few seconds and mom called again "John!"

I turned meekly and walked inside, I heard them calling out after me and laughing.

"Yeah mommy's boy, run under mommy's skirt!"

I was furious as hell. Mom faced me put her hands on my cheek.

"John we've talked about this, stay away from them." She said with a sweet smile on her face. It wasn't all about me, there was bad blood between their family and mine. One time at a neighborhood party their
father had said something to my mom in the kitchen then he got into a fight with my dad. After that we barely talked to them.

My anger was slowly fading as I looked at mom's sweet face. Her big blue eyes were pretty as ever and her pouty lips were crooked into a smile. She had pulled her blonde hair up into a ponytail.

"I'm sorry mom but you know they're assholes." I pulled her hands away from my face slowly and held them in mine. I couldn't help but stare at her pretty little mouth. Suddenly my anger rose again, she had
humiliated me in front of those idiots. I frowned at her and turned around, climbing the stairs to my room without a word.

"Aren't you hungry? Dinner's ready honey!" She called out to me from the bottom of the stairs, but I didn't reply and shut the door behind me furiously. She always babied me, and at 18 I was getting the feeling she was never going to see me as a man. What would she think if she knew her sweet boy wanted to push his mouth on hers just seconds ago. I realized most of my anger was towards myself, I wasn't supposed to be looking at my own mother like that.

Mom came to my door to call me for dinner again, but I told her I wasn't hungry. She let it go, but after a few hours she knocked on my door again and entered with a tray.

"Mom I told you I wasn't hungry!" I told her frowning.

"You gotta eat honey" she told me cheerfully ignoring my anger. She was in a simple green dress with a skirt that ended about her knees. As she bent down to leave the tray next to my bed my eyes wandered
around her cleavage trying to look down her dress. I chided myself averting my eyes. What was happening to me?

"Your dad and I are going to bed honey. Finish your food and don't stay up too late." She stood smiling at me sweetly. The dress accentuated her figure, the top part hugged her breasts showing their form. She was C cup probably. Her hips flared from her slim waist which the dress hugged nicely. Her smooth, pale legs stuck out under the dress and her small delicate feet were visible. It took me a moment to realize I was checking out my own mom and I got angry again.

"I'm not a child anymore mom." I said more harshly than I intended. Mom's face fell for a second but then she smiled again leaning down and hugging me.

"You are a young man, but you will always be my sweet boy." She told me hugging me tight. Her breasts were pushing on my chest and all I could think was how soft they felt.


"Jenny aren't you coming?" I heard dad call. She let me go and turnedaround to leave. I couldn't say anything.

I lay down on my bed staring at the ceiling. What was happening to me? Before this day I had never looked at mom sexually and now I was trying to imagine how her breasts looked. Maybe that old woman had done something to me. It all sounded stupid though. Turning it over in my head, I thought maybe it wasn't some magical thing she did, it was what she said. She told me I can get any woman I want. Before that I must have repressed any sexual thought of mom because there was no chance I was gonna do anything remotely sexual with her. But talking with that old hag for a moment I had thought I could have her and now all I could think of was how to get her.

I remembered the vial. I went through my pockets and took it out. The clear liquid danced inside turning darker colors in lamp light. I was past the age of believing in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus, but I couldn't help but think, what if the old hag was telling the truth? What if this odd liquid could get me any woman I want? Feeling ridiculous, I tossed the vial and turned the light off. I couldn't get to sleep though, so after tossing around for a while I got up and decided to take the tray to kitchen downstairs.

Walking in the dark I was passing by my parent's bedroom. I don't know what got into me but I left the tray down on the floor and put my ear on the door. I could hear my mom's muffled voice. Her tone wasn't the motherly tone I used to hear.

"Yes honey, I threw away all the condoms. Remember our deal?" she said in sultry voice.

"I know you aren't on the pill and I remember our deal. But we can't have another baby." dad said.

"John is 18, and he will probably go to college out of town. You said we will have another child when he turns 18." Mom sounded a bit angry now.

"I know what I said but it's not the right time. The college bill means we won't have much money left. Maybe after he finishes college."

I don't know what I had hoped to hear listening them in their bedroom but I definitely hadn't hoped to hear them arguing.

"You always do this! You gave me your word before! You said we would have another child after we pay the mortgage and now this!" Mom sounded very frustrated. "I'm not getting on the pill or letting you bring a condom to this house until you honor your word! Actually you know what, forget about it. You can go to sleep."

"Come on baby don't be like that. You know I'll be going out of town for a week tomorrow night. How about you suck me off?" Dad pleaded.

"Ewww, we have no condoms and you know I'm not taking that into my mouth without one. Go to sleep or whatever, I don't care." Mom replied.

I backed away slowly and took the tray to kitchen. I had heard something that was none of my business, and I didn't know how to feel about it. All I could think was my mom's little pretty mouth wrapped around a cock. My cock, dad's cock, a strangers cock, I don't know.

The next morning I groggily went down to breakfast. I had a fitful sleep all night. Mom was cooking eggs, turned away from me. She turned her head to tell me good morning and kept on cooking. I sat across the
counter looking at her. She was in the same green dress. Her bottom swayed this way and that as she reached around. I was mesmerized, beside myself and staring hard, trying to imagine what kind of underwear she had on. Then I heard her,

"From earth to sleepy head, is there a stain on my dress?" I realized I was caught staring at her bottom and lifted my eyes.

"I..uh.. yeah." She bunched the skirt in her hand pulling the back forward. Her smooth silky thighs came into view from behind. My cock had a sudden surge of blood.

"I can't see anything, but I wore this yesterday too. Anyways how many eggs do you want?" she said turning to me.

I moved further on my chair to hide my hard on. "Two will be fine mom, thanks." I said.

She went on cheerfully cooking and I did everything in my power to look anywhere but at her. This was getting out of control. I was in my
parent's kitchen checking my own mother's ass. Dad came down a few minutes later and he looked a bit irritated. They didn't talk at all through breakfast, so we ate in silence. School flew by as I checked out every female in sight. I was drunk on power I didn't even believe was true. That vial was in my mind all day.

Dinner was silent as well, similar to that morning. Dad gave mom a hug and I drove him to the airport. A repair signal was blinking on the dashboard and dad told me to get it checked. I decided next week was
good. We said goodbye and I came back. Mom was asleep by the time I came back so I went to my room. I found the vial and looked at it again. It felt oddly warm in my palm. I still didn't believe it would actually work, but what if it did? Did I really want to sleep with my own mother? I had now accepted I really wanted her, but actually going through with it? Finally I decided not to do it. No need to ruin the best relationship in your life over some silly urges. Even if the potion did work, I was going to use it on other women.

So I did the right thing before going to sleep. I opened the vial and smelt it. It was odorless. I drunk almost third of it and put the lid back on. I had to make sure it's not poisonous or something. I drifted to sleep after a while.

I dreamed I was walking through the house looking for mom. I went to every room calling for her, checking everywhere in a rush. Then I gave up and went into my room. I almost yelped in surprise finding a woman naked as her birthday on my bed. Her blonde hair was sprawled on my pillow and her bare breasts topped with pink nipples rose up with each deep breath. Her legs were closed tightly, so I couldn't see between them. Then she rose on her elbows and looked at me with a red face and
glazed eyes. It was mom.

"I was waiting for you Johnny." She called, pouting her lips. Then she opened her legs wide giving me a good look at her cunt. It was more red than pink, and swollen. Her thighs were wet with her juices. "Come
to me baby." She said, extending one slender arm to me. I put my knee on the bed and got on top of her. I grabbed one breast and felt it flatten under my palm. I bent down, pushing my mouth roughly on hers.
Her legs were still open so I pulled my pants down, freeing my already hard cock. I leaned down trying to position my cock at her entrance.

Suddenly she pushed me off, closing her legs together.

"No, we can't" she said hiding her face from me.

"Mom please, I can't bear it anymore!" I pleaded. She lifted her feet and pushed me off the bed standing half up.

"No John, you don't even have a condom." Her voice were cold now, her blue eyes threw daggers at me.

"Mom please I can't..." Then I started to cum and woke up. My boxers were soiled and my cum had seeped through even my pajama bottoms. The weird thing was, I was still hard and throbbing, it was almost
painful. I started to jerk off and came again but that did nothing to ease my erect cock. I don't know how many times I had to jerk off that night but by morning I had rubbed myself raw.

I got up in the morning, got ready for school, and ran out before my mom could stop me. She yelled "Where are you going, you haven't even had breakfast!" from behind. I couldn't face her, after what I dreamt last night I was full of guilt and anger.

Jason and Nick were getting into their car, but they saw me so Jason called out. "What's the rush mommy's boy, did she forgot to nurse you?"

I balled my fists and turned to them. I started walking to them not being able to talk from anger. Seeing me Nick got out to and the two faced me.

"Calm down baby, can't take a joke?" Nick said.

I stopped inches from Jason's face but couldn't find my words. My fists were by my side.

"Are you gonna do something Johnny boy?" Jason said not backing an inch. My anger was starting to fade, I had passed the right moment.

"Yeah, I thought so," said Jason pushing me hard. I fell down backwards landing on my butt. Then I heard mom shouting "John!". She rushed getting between me and the guys.

"What do you think you're doing?!" She yelled at Jason's face.

"Calm down Jenny, we were having a simple argument." He was looking down at her . My mom being very petite, he was easily a head taller than her. I got up slowly as Nick called, "Come on Jason let's go, nice gown Jenny."

Jason was staring at her from head to toe, then mom noticed she had rushed out in her nightgown. She got a red face and tried to cover up.

"It's Mrs. Hanson to you. Stay away from my boy and my house." She said, trying to sound confident. They eyed her a bit more then got in their car and drove off. I couldn't look at mom and started to walk off. She called out to me again but I yelled "Leave me alone!" and ran off.

I slept through almost all classes through the day, I was exhausted after last night. I didn't know what was scaring me more, that the potion worked or didn't work. What I knew for sure was last night wasn't normal. After school I drifted around the park trying to clear my head vainly. When I realized it didn't work I walked home.

Mom was in the living room watching TV and sipping wine from a glass. She turned to smile at me when I entered and sat beside her on the couch. She was in a denim skirt and white top. We kept watching TV in
silence for a while until she broke it.

"You missed dinner," she said softly.

"I know Mom, sorry. This morning..."

"You shouldn't let them get into your head. They're just a bunch of assholes!" Mom said with more fervor than I was used to. She didn't use swear words usually, it must have been the wine talking. She put
her glass on the coffee table.

"But you shouldn't have interfered. I'm not a child anymore." I said.

"I'm sorry too honey, I just got mad when he pushed you." She said, extending her arms and pulling me into a hug. I hugged her back and soon was feeling better. She let go of me and got up. "I'll fix you
dinner and bring it here. You can eat here and watch TV with me." She said happily and went into kitchen.

I don't know why but I stared at her half full glass. It was like time stopped and I was at a crossroads. It felt like I was in slow motion as I reached for my pocket and found the vial there. I didn't even remember taking it with me today. Without thinking through the consequences to my actions, I reached for mom's glass and slowly let three drops from the vial fall into it. I was still telling myself the potion didn't work, I was just trying something.

She came back and put a plate in front of me and topped her glass with more wine. She was watching some boring reality show and I was watching her from the corner of my eye, trying to see a sign that the
potion had some effect. After fifteen minutes of this I was done with my dinner so I took my plate to the kitchen. When I was walking back I noticed mom sitting with a red face and both of her hands were under
her skirt. She jumped pulling her hands on her lap when she noticed I was back.

Was I imagining things or was she rubbing herself? I just sat down without courage to do anything. After a while I noticed her squirming at her seat. She pulled her feet on the couch and started fanning her face with a magazine. I reached and put my hand on her shoulder. She pulled back like she was shocked by my hand.

"Mom are you alright?" I said with a confused look in face.

"It's no...nothing honey. I'm just a bit hot that's all." She moved farther away from me.
