Intro I needed to forget, I needed to feel wanted, at least just for that night and I did. He was young and handsome with muscles so defined his massive biceps bulged from the seams of his shirt. It was a night of pure pleasure with no names exchanged while I held nothing back letting myself enjoy him as he handled me roughly with skill. When morning came I left without a trace thinking I would never see him again but to my surprise I couldn't have been more wrong. ..... "Mom this is my friend Jayce," Tyler my son announced entering through the front door. I turned a pale sheet of white when I saw who came walking up behind him. Oh god what did I do?! I looked down at the floor waiting to see it crack because I was sure any second it was going to break open and suck me down to hell for what I had just done. Heartbroken looking for a way to escape, Mia has a one night stand with a stranger to take away the pain if only temporarily but what happens when that one night stand (and the best sex of her life) ends up being her son's new best friend? A/N The characters in this story are all adults over the age of 20. This is not some Mrs. Robinson type of story where an older woman seduces a teenager. FYI : This is my first finished story and not one of my greatest. I just republished it and it has a lot of old notes from when it was first published so please ignore those.

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.
