Chapter 475: Back with the woman of his life

The week that followed was one of renewal and restoration.

Jaegar threw himself into the work of bringing life back to Diana’s home with the energy of one seeking to make amends.

He cleaned windows that had been ignored for months, letting sunlight stream into rooms that had grown accustomed to gloom.

He tended the garden that Diana had neglected, coaxing late-season flowers back to bloom and clearing away the weeds that had run rampant in his absence.

Most importantly, he simply spent time with the woman who had been mother, friend, and confidante throughout his childhood and youth.

They talked long into the evenings, sharing stories of their separation, speaking of fears and hopes with the honesty that only comes when people realize how precious their connection truly is.

Diana blossomed under his attention like a flower that had been too long without water.

The hollow shadows beneath her eyes disappeared, replaced by the bright intelligence that had always been one of her most attractive features. Her step grew lighter, her laughter came more easily, and she began to take interest once again in the small pleasures that make daily life worth living.

Both of them started to go out for dinners, and Diana was now feeling alive again. Jaear didn’t rush her and waited for her to tell him that she wanted him.

And after a couple of dates, one fine evening.

Diana asked him that they just sleep while he held her closely. And Jaegar did just that.

The morning after Jaegar’s restless night with his mom, the suburban house was quiet, save for the low drone of a show blaring from the clunky TV in the living room.

Jaegar, still buzzing from the previous night’s intensity, sprawled on the couch in a faded T-shirt and sweatpants, his long dark hair mussed, eyes half-focused on the man’s antics on the show.

The last few nights had been restless, as his mom didn’t let him sleep. She was so full of lust for him, and so was he.

They went at it for hours, disregarding the time and everything else.

The clock on the wall ticked toward 9 a.m., and the summer sun streamed through the blinds, casting stripes across the shag carpet.

It was the first week of April, 1925.

While he was watching TV, his mom entered the living room, her satin robe swishing softly against her thighs, and his eyes were instantly drawn to her.

The robe, a deep red, clung to her curves, the hem barely reaching mid-thigh.

Beneath it, a glimpse of velvet lace lingerie peeked out—a bra that hugged her full breasts and panties that left little to the imagination.

She was looking for something in the hall, her makeup half-done, one eye lined with kohl, the other bare. Her perfume, a sharp mix of vanilla and spice, hit Jaegar like a punch, stirring something primal in him.

He could see the tight ass pressing against the fabric of the satin at her rear, waiting to spill out.

"Morning, slacker," she teased, her voice low and playful as she leaned against the arm of the couch, tying her hair into a messy bun.

The motion made the robe slip slightly, revealing more of the lace bra, and Jaegar’s breath caught.

He shifted on the couch, trying to hide the growing tightness in his sweatpants. Her eyes flicked to him, catching the movement, and a knowing smirk curled her lips. "What’s got you so quiet?"

Jaegar swallowed hard, his mouth dry. "Just... chilling," he managed, but his voice was rough, betraying him.

Diana’s smirk widened, and she stepped closer, her bare foot brushing against his leg as she adjusted her robe, deliberately slow.

The lace of her lingerie was visible now, the velvet fabric stark against her pale skin, and Jaegar’s pulse hammered. He was hard, painfully so, and the thin sweatpants did nothing to hide it.

She noticed.

Of course she did.

Diana leaned down, her face inches from his, her breath warm against his cheek.

"Do you want to say something? Do you?" she murmured, her fingers trailing lightly along the back of the couch, dangerously close to his shoulder.

"Are you having bad thoughts about Mommy?" Her tone was teasing, but there was an edge to it, a challenge that made his blood run hot.

Before he could respond, she straightened, turning toward the hallway to finish getting ready. Jaegar’s eyes followed her, locked on the sway of her hips, the way the satin clung to her like a second skin.

He stood, unable to stop himself, and followed her to the bathroom, where she stood at the mirror, applying lipstick.

The door was half-open, and he leaned against the frame, watching her reflection. Her robe had slipped open further, the lace lingerie fully exposed now, and his arousal was undeniable, pressing against the fabric of his pants.

"Mom," he said, his voice low, almost a growl.

She met his gaze in the mirror, her lips parting slightly, the lipstick tube frozen in her hand.

For a moment, they just stared, the air thick with unspoken tension.

Then she set the lipstick down, turned, and closed the distance between them. Her hands found his chest, pushing him back against the wall, and she pressed herself against him, her body soft and warm through the satin.

"You wanna play with me, darling," she whispered, but her hands were already wandering, sliding down to feel the evidence of his desire.

He groaned, his hands gripping her waist, pulling her closer.

The lace of her lingerie scratched against his fingers as he tugged at the robe, letting it fall open completely. Her skin was hot under his touch, and she gasped as he pressed himself harder against her, his arousal unmistakable.

Just then, the doorbell rang, a sharp, jarring sound that cut through the haze.

Diana froze, her eyes widening, but Jaegar didn’t let go.

"Ignore it," he muttered, his lips brushing her neck, his hands sliding lower to cup her through the lace. She moaned softly, but the bell rang again, insistent.
