Rita had committed a grave mistake and she didn't know what she should do now. She couldn't even tell anyone given what she had done.
Only when Jack hugged her that she realized that he was there for her. So she buried her face in Jack's neck and bawled as her tender body trembled in his strong embrace.
Jack gently stroked her head and patiently waited for her to calm down. And although she apologized, again and again, he didn't say anything.
It took her about 15 minutes to calm down. Jack separated to look at her crying and defenseless face, and couldn't help finding it bewitching. He smiled softly and carefully wiped her tears from her beautiful face with his palms.
Rita saw her son's concerned expression and his kind smile as sweet feelings arose in her heart. A small delighted smile crept up on her face when she found him wiping her tears with great care and affection as if he was wiping some precious delicate ornament. Though she didn't notice him wiping his wet hand to her skirt.
Jack then took her by her hand and guided her to the sofa as he sat on it before pulling her on his lap. Rita couldn't help turning red on his lap as she looked into his eyes, trying to understand what he was trying to do.
She then felt one of his hands wrapping around her waist and the other guiding her head to his shoulder. Then it began stroking her head as she got comfortable on his lap and buried her face in his soothing embrace.
Jack's comforting voice then entered into her ears, "Mom, you worry too much for every single thing. And although you looked too cute with such a worried expression, it isn't good for your health." Jack said as he genuinely thought that it was just a small thing for some reason.
In his previous world, people could live a peaceful life. They could enjoy equality in rights, freedom, and riches. The richness of comfort and luxury brought by advancement in technology. There were no life-threatening dangers like monsters and demons.
So they lived a tranquil and serene life filled with happiness, right? Wrong! Despite having such obedient machines that would complete their work in no time, they didn't have enough time. Despite having everything at the comfort of their fingertips, they felt uncomfortable.
They were unsatisfied with their work, their relationships, and their friends. It wasn't some supernatural curse that caused such a thing but their own minds. Leading to anxiety, insecurities, depression, and even suicide in the worst case.
If only they had faced such life and death situations like him, they would have realized how precious life is. Precious enough to not waste it worrying about such trivial things.
If only they had something threatening to divert their attention...
Like this world... But this world shouldn't follow in his previous world's footsteps. So he said, "Do you know why the previous kidnapping incident happened the other day?"
And continued before she could answer, "Let me tell you Ricky's story..." Although he knew that Rita already knew, he began telling what Alban had told him.
"Now, do you understand why all this happened?," he went on, "It happened not because of the vicious demons but because of the evil present inside a human mind. That merchant took advantage of that woman's insecurities, the higher-ups took advantage of Lord Hardy's weak position and the demons took advantage of Ricky's weakness."
"The trouble does not wait for us to enter the Dark Woods. It would come right knocking at our doorstep. It is we who will have to be prepared. We will have to stand strong to face it."
He paused to let it sink for a moment and said, "Or else, someone like me will take advantage of your defenseless state," he smirked deviously and started kneading her plump buttcheek.
Rita immediately sat straight on his lap and stared at his smirking face in surprise as she tried to understand what he had just explained. It took her a while to process as she just stared into his radiant eyes while Jack resumed his kneading of her butt as it felt good.
All this time she was trying to prevent Jack from facing dangers as she didn't want to lose him once again. But what if a powerful monster or a very demon intruded into the town? They wouldn't have any other way but to fight, and if they lacked the necessary strength... then there would be grave consequences. She understood that much, but he said he took advantage of her...?
She furrowed her brows and twisted his ear with all her strength, "Stinking child, when did you get this old to take the blame for someone else's crime? You think I don't understand?"
"Ow, ow! I am telling the truth. Didn't you realize how happy I was earlier?" Jack replied with a 'pained' voice.
"Hump! When did you become so clever in conversation? I actually believed you for a moment!" Rita said with a wry smile thinking how skillfully he had twisted the conversation, diverted her attention from the main issue, and took the blame upon himself. Though she didn't know that Jack wasn't done yet.
Jack stared silently in her eyes with a loving gaze and said, "It was me who felt happy after doing it. It is me who doesn't feel anything wrong with it. It is me who is seeing you as a woman..."
His voice became soft as he took her hand and placed it on his left chest, "It is me who is loving you as a woman!"
Rita's eyes shook as she felt his wildly thumping heart and realized what he was telling was true. A blush appeared on her face and her heartbeat also began soaring.
She felt his warm hand on her cheek which made her entire body shudder in delight. Jack found her blushing face inviting, so his face neared hers and kissed her slightly parted tender lips. His pheromones also started leaking slowly.
He then intruded inside her mouth with his tongue and met with her hesitant soft tongue. And they intertwined before long, passionately. Their thumping hearts synchronized.
Rita felt butterflies fluttering in her stomach and she couldn't contain the sweetness inside her as her body started heating up.
Jack separated to let her catch her breath as a trail of saliva connected their mouth. He then began kissing her smooth neck while savoring her sweet fragrance.
Rita's body shuddered once again. "W-wait Jack! We shouldn't do something like this," she reluctantly said and pushed him gently when she realized how immoral it was what they were doing.
Jack separated and tilted his head in confusion. So Rita answered, "W-we shouldn't be doing this... we are mother and son!"
"So?" Jack asked.
"It isn't right for us to do so..." she answered.
"Why?"
She felt a bit troubled with his question, "...b-because we are mother and son..."
"So?" Jack curled up a corner of his lips.
Rita realized that she doesn't have a concrete answer to his question. But she knew that this was wrong, so she said, "I am your mother, Jack! You should find a girlfriend for yourself..."
"And what about my heart? It has already fallen for you!" Jack said with a smile and saw her cute troubled face. His sight traveled to her smooth delicious neck and began kissing it once again.
Rita closed her eyes in pleasure as her hand rested on his shoulder, but holding onto the last straw of rationality she said, "...W-what kind of a woman I would be... i-if I betrayed my own husband to make love with my own son...?"
Jack separated, stared at her moist eyes affectionately, and replied with a smile, "One of a kind! You will be my woman forever!"
And added mischievously, "And about dad... we will keep this a secret from him, hehe!!!"
He again began kissing her tender neck as his hand began kneading one of her ass cheeks.
Rita wanted to protest, but couldn't as her body started to react enthusiastically to his touches. It was wrong... She knew it, yet it felt so right. It felt so good that she wondered how could such a pleasant thing be so wrong?
It was so damn pleasurable and so intoxicating that she just wanted to taste the forbidden fruit once again... Just this once...
So her hand moved to the back of his head and clenched his hair while she felt his other hand tracing her soft waist up to her stomach before cupping her right breast. She bit her lower lip as she felt tremendous pleasure with his touch.
Jack kneaded her warm and supple boob with his left hand as his right hand diligently kneaded her ass cheek all the while kissing her delicate skin.
Whatever he had said to her had made perfect sense to him as he couldn't see anything wrong with it. He didn't know that his bloodline was at play!
