2 Her Request

It was time to sleep, but one thing bugging Asha was that Kai still refused to sleep near her. He would always come up with some kind of reason to sleep apart, even though it meant he slept further away from the warmth of the fire.

During the winter, it would become unbearably cold and Asha worried that Kai would freeze by sleeping away from the fire.

Normally, their whole family would sleep together, sharing their body heat with one another.

Even though she slept by the fire, she still felt chilly without someone else beside her. And if she felt chilly, she could only imagine how cold it must be for her son who's away from the fire.

Just as Kai was about to settle to his distant corner, Asha stopped him.

"Since I won the most out of the games we played, I get to order you to do one thing right?"

"Yeah, that's what we agreed on. You already have an order? Don't you want to save it?" Kai gave Asha a puzzled look.

Asha responded with a warm smile. "No, I want to use it now. I want you to sleep next to me by the fire."

Kai widened his eyes as he froze for a second, before gesturing and stammering. "Err, can it be something else?"

Asha walked up to Kai and grabbed his hand as she gazed at him seriously. "No, this is my only request. Winter has just started and it will only get colder so you must sleep closer to the fire. I am worried that you will freeze to death."

Kai, panicking a little, patted his chest in assurance. "How could I freeze? Look, my body is big and strong now. I'll be fine, don't worry about it."

Asha scrunched her brow in worry as she gently rested her palm on his cheek. "Son, of course I'll worry. We used to sleep together all the time in the winter. Even your father who was bigger than you now slept together with us, remember? Why are you making things hard on yourself?"

Kai was caught unprepared and couldn't say anything for a couple seconds. The doting care in his mother's eyes made him feel guilty and shameful for making her worry.

However, he couldn't help it. Every time he was around her, it took all his effort to remain calm.

That was because he was incredibly attracted to her. He was attracted to his mother.

He knew it was wrong, she was his birth mother, but her exotic beauty, her luscious fragrance, and curvaceous body made his blood boil and his brain tremble.

The reason he fidgeted around so much before was due to trying to hide his raging boner.

If he slept beside her, she would definitely find out so he had been adamantly refusing her. He didn't want to creep her out.

"I- Uh… Well, um… I have my reasons. I just… can't. Okay?" Being in such close proximity as she held his face made Kai nervous as he tried to back out.

Asha frowned as her eyes became a bit wet in disappointment. Seeing her make such an expression, Kai felt his heart ripping since he was the cause of her dismay.

Kai didn't know what to do. If he kept refusing, he would hurt his mother. But if he accepted, she will find out how much of a pervert he is and shun him.

Asha looked down and let go of Kai, her shoulders drooping as she dejectedly relented. "I understand."

Kai grimaced upon witnessing her despondent demeanor. It only made him feel worse for hiding his secret.

It is the secret to what changed in him after the near-death experience.

Kai decided to bite the bullet. He didn't like making Asha sad and if refusing her would do that, it was better to just go with it.

After all, it's just sleeping next to each other. Plus, Kai has been feeling a bit chilly especially in the early mornings when the fire has died.

Kai grasped Asha by the shoulders, prompting her to look up. Kai is almost a head taller than her now and would undoubtedly grow taller since he hasn't fully matured yet.

Looking into her eyes, Kai assented. "It's just sleeping right?"

Asha's eyes shines in response as a smile bloomed on her face. "Of course, I just want my son to stay warm."

"Fine then."

Asha beamed before hurrying to go drag Kai's beast hides over by the fire, preparing their sleeping area with care.

Kai couldn't help but feel warmth well up inside him upon watching his mother being so attentive.

After the bedding was in place, Kai grabbed one of the beast fur covers and covered himself as he laid down on one side facing away from Asha, his feet by the fire.

"I'll be on this side, you do whatever you need to do. I'm going to sleep. Good night."

Kai worked fast and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep so that he won't be disturbed by any sort of visual impacts. It was his way of controlling himself.

Asha's cheeks puffed in a pout seeing how quickly he went to bed, ignoring her completely. However, her pout morphed into a mischievous grin as she undressed and swiftly dived under his fur cover and pressed against his back.

Before Kai could refute, he felt soft and hot flesh compressed against his back that caused him to jolt. The sweet fragrance and the hot breath tickled his senses as Asha hugged him from behind.

He could feel his dormant member reacting and gradually rising.

"Nnnmm…you're so warm. Hugging you is the best. I missed this." Asha confessed as she buried her face against his neck.

Kai was dumbfounded at the moment. He clearly felt the naked breasts of his mother pressed against his back and that aroused him tremendously.

"Wow, you're getting even warmer. Sleeping by you is even better than the fire." Asha wrapped her willowy arms around his waist as she got even more comfortable embracing him.

"Wait, wait. Didn't I say that I will sleep on this side? Why are you so close?" Kai retorted in a fluster as he tried to wiggle away.

"How else are we going to stay warm? This is the best way, don't you remember?" Now that Asha was able to cuddle with her son after so long, she wasn't going to let go so easily.

Kai did remember. They had slept together like this all the time in the past. However, that was before he realized his attraction to his mother.

Feeling her naked skin like this drew Kai crazy. He could distinctly feel two firmer nubs rubbing against his back that instantly forced his rod to harden.

Kai felt even more apprehensive, afraid that his mom would discover his erection. He tried to struggle away even more and in one motion as he shifted forward, her hold on him descended below his waist.

"Oh? What's this?" Asha curiously wondered aloud.

The moment he felt her hand brush against his tip, Kai froze. He knew he screwed up. She found out.

Kai felt cold inside as he expected her to scream or escape from him. He felt horrible.

"I-I'm sorry. This is just a natural reaction, it doesn't mean anything. Sorry , I know I'm disgusting you." Kai buried his face in his hands as he apologized, too embarrassed to move.

However, Asha didn't feel any sort of disgust or disdain. In fact, she was relieved that Kai finally opened up to her again.

"How could that be? What are you apologizing for?" Asha was confused at his outburst and hugged Kai tighter in reassurance.

"I- Uhh…I swear I'm not lusting after you. This is just a natural reaction, just ignore it." Kai deflected with a nervous excuse.

It finally dawned on Asha what Kai was so uneasy about. She couldn't help but smile. "What? You mean this?"

Her small hands reached down towards his bulge and caressed his rod through his pants, feeling its shape and firmness. The size of his package gave her a pleasant surprise.

Kai flinched in response to her soft touch as he began sweating in pleasure and agitation. He didn't expect for her to be so bold as to reach down and feel his erection.

"Ah, no!" Kai yelped when her hand gripped his staff.

Feeling his reaction, Asha felt pleased and continued to tease her son with firmer ministrations.

"No, mom. We shouldn't do this." Kai mustered with the last of his sanity, afraid of losing control and ruining their relationship as mother and son.

"Why not?" Asha continued to slowly rub his hardened member.

"A mother and son. Shouldn't do this. It's not right." Kai let out in slow, deep breaths as he tried to reign in his emotions.

"Eh? Do you not like me Kai?" Asha felt a little disheartened at her son's rejection and stopped moving her hands.

"Uh, of course I like you mom." Kai was caught off guard by her question and answered honestly.

Asha released a breath of relief. "That's good. I was worried that you hated me."

"What? How could I do that? You are the most beautiful and kind mom I could have. Did you really think that?" Kai couldn't believe that was what she was thinking, even though the truth was the complete opposite.

"Of course I did. After you started distancing yourself from me after the accident, I thought you started disliking me." Her arms tightened around his waist as she buried her face closer to his back.

After her revelation, Kai recalled all the changes in his behavior and realized how his avoidance could be misconstrued.

It wasn't that he didn't like her. He absolutely liked her. Liked her a lot to the point of infatuation. He just didn't want to come off as a pervert and tried to hide away every time he felt his arousal going out of control.

He only now realized how she must have felt when her precious son started avoiding her without any warning. A feeling of guilt washed over him again as he realized he had inadvertently caused her to suffer.

Kai suddenly turned around to face his mom to see her eyes widen and mouth open into a small 'o' at his action.

"Mom, you are the most important person to me in the world. I would never hate you." Kai expressed his sincere thoughts while gazing at her brilliant, sapphire eyes.

Asha's lips curved into a gentle smile, her eyes rippled with emotion as she tenderly stroked his cheek with a free hand.

"I am happy. After that accident, you changed, but hearing your thoughts now, I am satisfied. My baby boy has grown up."

Kai also unveiled a heartened smile as he basked in her doting embrace.

As they stared into each other's eyes for several moments, the sound of crackling wood providing a subtle ambience, Asha noticed something stiff poking against her navel.

At the same time, Kai blushed in realization at what happened while Asha's other hand started caressing his hard rod again.

Looking up to see his reddened face made Asha grin. To see how innocent and vulnerable her son's reaction was made her desire to comfort and dote on him more.

She hardly had the chance to do that after he started avoiding her so it triggered her motherly instincts.

"Looks like someone's excited."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Kai looked down, avoiding eye contact as he tried to furiously will his disobedient hard-on to behave.

"There's no need to be sorry. I'm actually glad you are reacting this way. I was worried that you disliked me, so to find out that isn't the case makes me very happy."

Kai was bewildered by his mom's nonchalance at his erection. In fact, it seemed like she was even encouraging him to go further.

"You don't find me disgusting for feeling aroused by you?" Kai asked tentatively.

Asha giggled at his doltish question that should have been obvious. "Of course not you silly boy. I could never feel disgusted by you. You are my precious son who has grown up into a big and strong man."

Kai had an epiphany. He realized that maybe all his worries since his accident was just all in his head. In this world of just the two of them, she was the one who trusted him the most. Yet he didn't reciprocate her trust and even doubted her.

Kai closed his eyes in contemplation. Once he opened them back up, a glint of conviction eclipsed the uncertainty he previously held.

It was finally time to reveal his secret.
