Chapter 184: Psychoanalysis
I did exactly like I said and told them to go on ahead and I would handle the groceries. I wasn't surprised when Nat, Susan, and Crystal were more than happy to let me handle it alone and took off running.
“I changed my mind! Hellllllp meeee!” I said loudly after them and they laughed without turning back. I laughed as well, retrieved the bags from the trunk, and carried them inside the service elevator and put them down, along with the ones I had stored. I had them inside the apartment and distributed not long after. I didn't even have to distract anyone.
Nat had gone to her place to paint, like she so desperately wanted, and Susan had Crystal in the bath. I could hear them both laughing and water splashing around, and that made me smile. I remembered the flash of Divine Sight about Susan not being able to handle being a mother and hoped that she would get some practice with being around Crystal so much.
I took pictures of the prepared pendants in the nice velvet display cases and sent them to Stephanie, just like she wanted. I assumed that she wanted to start spreading the word, especially to the board of the corporation. They should be happy about me finally getting some of our main product ready.
I prepped and cooked supper after that, texted Nat that it was time to eat, and the four of us sat down and enjoyed another meal together. I looked around the table at their faces and saw that they were all pretty happy to be there. I thought about thanking them for being there and decided that it wasn't necessary. If they didn't know by now that I appreciated them being there, no amount of thanks was going to clue them in about it.
I chuckled a little and the three of them looked at me with curious expressions. “I was just thinking that if you didn't know how much I appreciate you all being here...”
Nat barked a laugh. “...we'd never get it?” She guessed and I nodded. “Yes, we know. Don't we, girls?”
Susan reached for my hand and squeezed it and Crystal nodded several times.
After supper, we hung out in the living room and put all the new pictures onto the laptop. Crystal was getting quite the collection with all the places we had been the last little while. At least this time, she probably won't have to do a whole presentation at school about it, considering the entire class had been along for the trip.
The evening ended and I tucked Crystal and Teddy into bed, then went out to the Murphy bed and slept with Susan. She was quite receptive to my advances, which consisted solely of me starting to undress. She was soaked through her underwear as she waited for me to be naked, then she pulled me down onto the bed and I had to gag her.
I exhausted her and let her sleep, then went to Nat's room and gave her another week of memories. We we getting close to the end of them and Nat's mood was almost bubbly the next morning. She had woken Crystal up as well and brought her out to the kitchen.
“Thanks for breakfast.” Nat said and sat down to dig into the plate of eggs, sausage, toast, and hash browns. She ate everything, which meant she was definitely in a great mood. “I'll take Crystal today.” She offered and took Crystal to get ready.
“Is it just me or is she extra happy today?” Susan asked.
“Yes.” I responded and she gave me a smile. “Are you sure you can't skip to go to the rescheduled appointment with your mother?”
Susan shook her head. “It's too close to exams to skip anything. It's mostly just review; but, it's too specific to not go and pay attention.” She said and gave me a kiss before she left the table to get ready.
I cleaned up and Nat left to take Crystal to school. Kathy showed up not long after that and she had a blush on her face for some reason. Susan kissed me goodbye and they left to go to college, which left me at home all alone. I went into the work room and unplugged everything, then stored it all.
Nat would be unleashing her talent inside for the next couple of days, as per my promise, and I used Cleaning Hands on the walls, ceiling, and floor to clean it completely. I knew she would be happy about that, especially since I essentially prepped the place for her. I went to the bathroom to take a shower and to get ready for my appointment with Susan's mother, changed into a nice suit, and waited for Nat to come back.
“You're lucky you didn't come this time.” Nat said as she came into the apartment. “It was a madhouse!”
I chuckled. “Okay, this I have to hear.”
We sat down and Nat told me all about the kids giving Crystal hugs, saying thanks, giving her 'thank you' cards, a couple of little gifts, and more invitations for sleepovers that pretty much filled up the entire summer vacation.
“I hope you were a voice of reason.” I said and Nat nodded.
“We didn't schedule anything past the first two weeks, just in case you had any more crazy ideas.” Nat joked and I shrugged. “What were you thinking of doing?”
“I haven't seen your cute little ass in a real bikini yet.” I said as I wiggled my eyebrows at her and gave her a big grin. “That t-shirt doesn't count.”
Nat laughed and whacked my shoulder with the back of her hand. “I still love women, you ass.”
“Me, too.” I countered. “You can invite your potential girlfriend, too.”
“If this weekend works out, you mean.” Nat added the qualifier.
“She's totally into you.” I said and looked at the time. “I've got the work room cleared out and it's cleaned, so go have fun.”
Nat's eyes almost sparkled. “You cleaned it for me? Really?”
“Go rub your hand on the walls and floor to see for yourself.” I said and walked over to the apartment door. “I'll be back in a couple of hours.”
Nat waved and disappeared into the work room. “Oh, my GOD! You did! You really did clean it!”
I laughed and left the apartment and drove to my appointment. What followed was one of the oddest mental examinations I had ever encountered. The questions she asked, almost at random, had nothing to do with what I was talking about. Our conversation took several tangents and even circled back around to points she wanted me to clarify.
Then we talked about Susan and that set her off on the whole attraction thing. By the end of the conversation about our mutual sex lives, which she freely offered some explicit details for, I had an erection and she was breathing heavily with a flushed red face.
“I think... we need to end our session here.” Susan's mother said and her hands had a hold of the hem of her skirt. When she stood up, she pulled the skirt up and showed me some very nice black lingerie panties. “Smell me.”
I raised my eyebrows and my mouth opened a little in surprise.
“Please, take a deep breath and tell me what you feel.”
“I can't. I told Susan...”
“You trust me, don't you?” Susan's mother asked and took two steps towards me and spread her legs slightly apart.
“Yes, but...”
“Then use that powerful nose and smell me.” Susan's mother said. “Go ahead. Press your nose in there and tell me what you discover.”
I looked at her face and saw both trust and sincerity there. I took a quick sniff, almost like a test, and I could smell her. She was wet, especially after our very frank and explicit talk, and I didn't get that overwhelming urge to have sex. I was horny for sure and my erection was pressed against my clothing; but, I didn't want to yank her panties out of the way and shove myself into her.
“Go ahead.” Susan's mother whispered.
I reached out and slid my hands around her waist to hold her steady, then I slowly leaned in and pressed my nose to her exposed panties. With my face this close, I could clearly see through the lace, and she looked quite tasty. I took in a quick breath through my nose, and all I got was that she was wet and horny. It wasn't for me, though.
I close my eyes and pushed my nose in a bit more as I turned my head slightly from side to side to stimulate her a little. She let out a soft moan and I felt her dampness spread onto my nose, so I took in a long slow sniff. I needed to make sure that what she was trying to show me was true. Even though we shared sex stories and we were both horny, I wasn't affected by it.
I moved my hands down to her ass and dug my fingers into the semi-firm flesh, over the panties of course, then I buried my nose and mouth into her crotch and the very wet cloth there. She moaned a bit loudly as she came a little and she let her skirt go before she held my head in place. I took in another long breath through my nose and had to smile. Even though I had literally made her have a little orgasm, I wasn't affected by it.
I eased my hold on her ass and she let my head go as I leaned back. “Thank you.”
“After that little encounter, I think you can call me Eileen.” Susan's mother said and pulled her skirt back into place.
“I'm sorry that...”
“No, Damon. I am the instigator in this. I offered myself up for you to confirm my theory.”
I blinked my eyes for several moments. “Wait, you... you did that, and you didn't know if I would resist the temptation?”
Eileen nodded. “I also needed to confirm something for myself, and I thank you for letting me use you as proof.”
“But... what if...”
“There's no need to think about that, since it didn't happen.” Eileen said. “I promised myself that I would give you reassurance, and you don't know how happy I am that I was successful.”
I sat there and stared into her eyes because I was unsure of how to respond to that. She had put herself out there, potentially letting herself be caught in what was going on with me, and all because she wanted to reassure me that I wasn't a slave to my sex drive. She must have seen something on my face because she smiled demurely and knelt.
“Now you want to have sex because you want to thank me for making myself so vulnerable.” Eileen said and I nodded.
“You risked a lot... more than I thought you should have.”
“Sometimes vulnerability can make people care more about you than being strong can.” Eileen said.
I immediately thought about when I told Nat about my last adventure and I had broken down and cried.
“I know I care a lot more about you than I should, strictly as a doctor and patient.”
“You're in a unique situation.” I said. “I'm also dating your daughter.”
Eileen nodded. “I'm seeing you with two entirely different viewpoints, both of which I want to help you through.” She said. “I think this is a major breakthrough for you and you're going to need some time to come to grips with it.”
I took a deep breath and let it out. “I think so, too.”
Eileen stood back up and I stood as well. “I'll see you next week for our usual session.” She walked over to her desk and wrote something on the back of her business card. “If you need to talk before then, please don't hesitate to call.” She came back over to me and handed me the card.
I flipped it over and saw that it had her personal cell phone number on it. “I don't think I...”
“Please mention it on the way out.” Eileen whispered with a smile on her face.
Ohhh. I thought and nodded in understanding.
Eileen opened her office door. “Thank you for the visit and I look forward to the next time.”
I quickly glanced at the man sitting at the receptionist desk. “I look forward to it, too.” I said and held up the card to show him the writing on the back. “I'll be sure to call you personally if I have any problems before then.”
Eileen beamed a smile at me for doing even better than just mentioning our potential personal contact. I shook her hand, gave her husband a nod, and left. I was barely out the door when I heard her gasp and then moan. I walked over to the parking lot and climbed into my car. I sat there and wondered what the hell I was going to do with a raging hard-on. I went over the options in my head, namely none, and cursed silently.
I took out my cell phone and checked the time, then hoped it was close enough for what I needed. I sent a text to Susan and told her what happened and the situation I was in. I received a text back with a time and place. I checked my Map and nodded. She had chosen the perfect spot for the both of us to meet and it would be just after lunch period started.
I sent confirmation and sped out of the parking lot. If I hurried, I could set up a nice picnic for us to eat after I made love to her so hard that she was going to have trouble walking afterwards.
