A Mother's Desire - Chapter 6

A Quick Run and a Long Shower (Part I)

Katie looked at two pairs on panties that she had laid out on her bed. She was getting ready to go on her run with Candice and after planned to shower like normal with her door unlocked. One option, was more typical. It was a white cotton thong that was very similar to the black ones, just white. Usually she wore a thong with leggings for her runs because it didn't show pantie lines, which she hated, and because she had worn thongs for so long that she hardly noticed they were there while she ran anymore. The other option was a lacy red pair of panties with a silk crotch. Even considering this option felt strange. It was sexy pair and on some level Katie felt like this was somehow enticing her son to take them. She felt like wearing those would just be wrong. The main reason they were even laid out as an option was because she knew if these went missing during her shower, there would be no denying Logan took them.

Though she realized that if the white pair went missing the result was the same. Why even consider the red pair? Katie again felt like she was going to lose her mind. She huffed angrily and snatched the white thong. She put it on quickly and went to her closet to grab a pair of leggings. Just before she pulled them up her legs she turned and saw the red lacy panties still sitting on the bed.

"Fuck it.." She muttered to herself and quickly swapped the underwear she was wearing. "I swear this is driving me crazy. Why should I wear the red ones?" Katie continued talking to herself. She felt frustrated, but also knew that neither option would make her feel any sense of satisfaction. She quickly put on her leggings, put the white set back where they belonged in her dresser and then left for her run.

She greeted Candice like usual and then put some headphones in her ears and started running. She felt anxious the entire time she ran. She kept thinking about making sure she beat Logan home. Even though she was quite a bit ahead on time, compared to the day before. She felt like she really needed to catch him stealing her panties, but at the same time she felt guilty for going through with the plan. On several occasions while she ran she told herself she wouldn't go through with it and she would just lock the door today. However, she also felt like she needed to see if Logan would really sneak in and take her underwear while she showered.

"Can you slow down a little?.." Candice's called out suddenly.

Katie slowed and realized that she had been running quite fast at nearly a full sprint. "Oh sorry Candi, I just have a lot on my mind today."

"Oh yeah?" Candice took a massive breath than asked, "Want to talk about it?"

Katie's hear skipped a beat and probably too quickly she replied, "No! That's okay.. Another time maybe."

Candice gave her a quick suspicious look, then shrugged and said, "Well can we go a little slower?"

Katie gave a quick look in the direction of her house and then said, "I'm actually going to finish up. I'm in a bit of a rush today."

Candice laughed through a few more labored breaths and said,"Okay Katie. Go ahead then. Maybe a bit slower tomorrow though, yeah?"

Katie laughed too and said, "Maybe!" Then continued a hard jog the rest of the way back to her house.

She realized that not only did she start her run a bit sooner today, but also cut her 30-40 minute run down to nearly 20. It was only 1:25pm when she walked back into her house and Logan and Daniellegot out of school at about this time. She realized that it would probably be at least 20 minutes before he got home.

She went up to her room, closed the door, made sure to leave it unlocked. Her heart was pounding so hard she could almost feel it in her ears. She started to undress and it made her feel dirty. That feeling just made her feel ridiculous. She was undressing in her own room to take a shower after a run. But you're also planning to leave your door unlocked and leave a sexy pair of red panties in your hamper to see if your teenage son steals them.. she thought to herself.

Katie tossed her leggings and red lace panties into the hamper very much like she had done the day before. Then walked over and looked at them sitting there at the bottom of the hamper. She felt the pit in her stomach intensely as she imagined Logan sneaking in and taking them. "I can't do this.." Katie said to herself then walked over and locked her bedroom door.

She walked back to the shower and started the water. She stood there for a couple seconds and then quickly walked back to the bedroom door. Just do it.. She told herself. She unlocked the door and went straight into the shower. As she got in she realized it was a bit too fast. The water had not fully warmed up just yet and Katie stood under the stream for about a minute defending her body from the cold water with her hands. Thankfully it did not take long for the water to warm up.

Katie tried to focus on getting clean. She grabbed some of her body wash and rubbed it on her thighs. Then she rubbed some more on and underneath her breasts. She put some on a loofah and rubbed her back. As she did this she stepped forward into the water and let it run through her hair and down her face. What am I doing?.. She thought to herself. Why would testing him like this be the best plan? Well maybe he won't take them. Maybe they somehow ended up in his blanket during my last wash? Katie knew the timing of this didn't add up but she felt a desperate feeling to believe her son would never do such a thing.

She turned up the heat and sighed as the water washed over her. She saw the glass of her shower door begin to fog from the hot water's steam. Next Katie absentmindedly put a little shampoo in her hair and then continued to let the water wash it out while her mind wandered. How long has it been? If he does come in, will I hear him? I didn't hear anything yesterday. Katie listened as best she could for any noise that she might hear. She was listening so hard that she realized she was barely moving anymore. She rubbed the soapy loofah under her arms and up her legs when she heard a click.

Katie froze in place. She was half bent over but stood quickly arching her ear towards the bedroom. Because of where the shower was positioned behind a wall, she had no way to see clearly into her bedroom. She could see half the room from the reflection in the mirror, but the half with her door and closet were out of sight. She could swear she heard a door click and she opened her mouth to call out. She almost said, "Logan is that you?" But for some reason the words stuck in her throat. Instead she stood there awkwardly rubbing the loofah on her stomach while she listened as best she could.

Suddenly it dawned on her that if her son had entered the room she was only in the bathroom completely naked in the shower. She suddenly felt exposed and covered her breasts. She let out a frustrated breath and dropped her arms. Then she felt oddly scared to make a sound and covered her mouth. Wait, why should I be the nervous one here? If he's out there, he's the one sneaking into my room!Suddenly Katie felt a rush of anger and she stopped the shower.

Just as the water stopped making its rhythmic running noise Katie swore she heard another click sound. She hurriedly grabbed for a towel and wrapped it around her body. Still dripping wet she stormed into her bedroom and saw that it looked exactly as she had left it. She glanced towards her closet and though she could see no change, she felt her heart flutter again when she looked at the hamper. She couldn't see into it from where she was standing, and suddenly she felt far to nervous to walk over and look. Instead she went back into the bathroom and dried off properly. She blow dried her hair and took her time, convincing herself that she shouldn't feel required to break her normal routine. Though the entire time she kept thinking about checking the hamper.

Then finally, with her hair dry and no other excuse to prevent her from walking into her closet and putting on some clothes like she typically would, Katie walked over to the closet. She purposely avoided the looking in the hamper and got dressed. Then finally, nervously, she turned and peered into the hamper. There at the bottom were the leggings from her run, the top and bra she had worn, and her black thong, the one she had worn the day before, and last saw stuffed under a pillow in her son's room. Her lacy red panties, were no where to be seen.
