Novel & Cerita Enmeshed Relationship Mother-son

"I already have to deal with my father bringing another woman into this house. I don't need her daughter trying to be part of my life too. I have no interest in playing big brother. And I definitely don't have any interest in getting attached to you. So whatever fantasy you've got in your head about us playing happy siblings, get rid of it." My gaze spread over her face. "Let's not pretend we're ever going to be family. I don't want happy family dinners, family talks, or whatever the hell else you're expecting." "I'm not expect....."She immediately responded angered but I cut her before she could finish. "Good. Because I'd like that you never." I saw hurt traveled across her eyes and guilt i

Was any of that following my instructions? "And after you contracted an STD and intentionally passed it on to me… Was that what I wanted, too?" My words grew a collective wave of shocked murmurs. "Good grief. What is wrong with this son? He ruins his life and drags his father down with him. That's an ingrate, through and through." "Don't even get me started. Caleb is completely blinded by lust." "I think the father must've been driven past his limit to file for a legal severance. If it were my son, I would've disowned him the moment his thug girlfriend beat my wife into the ICU."

Finally, he tugged at Mary’s hand and asked softly, “Mom, who was the man who hugged you today?” Mary was startled and did not know how to explain it. Jonathan must have heard some of what Edric said, though not clearly. People often said there was a special, invisible bond between father and child. Jonathan had never shown interest in the men Mary spoke with before, yet he paid particular attention to Edric today. Was it really because they were father and son? Mary pulled Jonathan into her arms and gently stroked his head.

"You've been doing it for weeks. You're testing boundaries that shouldn't be tested." Heat flooded my face because he was right. "Maybe I want to know if you feel it too." "Feel what?" "This." I gestured between us. "Whatever this is that makes the air feel different when we're in the same room." "There is no this, Nyx. There won''t be." "Why not?""Because you're twenty-four and grieving and I'm forty-nine and was married to your mother." He ran a hand through his hair, frustration evident in every line of his body.

Ethan: “It’s my shares not yours. We have equal rights, remember.” Aleric: “Watch your tone.” I’ve always known Ethan not to have the best relationship with his father, but now being in a room with them, I could tell they could rip each other's head off if allowed to. To the rest of the world he was the feared Alpha, but to Ethan he was just some man standing in the way of his decisions. Although I couldn’t agree more with Aleric, Ethan would run us all dry with his ideas. “We should have this meeting again.” Aleric said in a final tone.

mother said smiling, and I couldn’t help but wrap my arms around her neck hugging her tightly, I knew that it was something that she wanted dearly, and despite not being allowed to hug her at my age, she hugged me back, breaking her and father’s rule, but these were beautiful, special news, father would be so happy when he hears of them. “Why didn’t you tell father? You know how happy he’d be mother!” I said excitedly looking her in the eye, she smiled, a smile that I haven’t seen in a very long time, as her and father’s relationship grew rustier by the day, him finding her nothing more than a wife to tend to his sexual needs, and her no longer finding that she wanted to be around him despit

I ask, lowering my voice so others can’t hear us. “My son, well, all of my children actually, have only ever wanted their mate. That’s not to say that my sons, in particular, haven’t dallied with others. But they’ve always been very careful. They’ve grown up seeing the relationship that Liam and I have. We’ve never hidden how much we love each other from anyone, especially not our children. The mate bond is a powerful thing. When you find the person that the Moon Goddess made just for you, it’s unlike anything else in this world.”

Watching my mother and my wife I couldn’t help the smile that spread on my face. My mother was the woman who set the bar for my relationship with Katarina.I had grown up watching my mother and father’s relationship. They would do anything for the other. I watched how they would show each other affection in the smallest of gestures. A kiss, a caress, a hug, a glance across the room. They did everything together and that is why poor Katarina has to deal with me always crowding around her.

His mother lets out a deep sigh and shakes her head. “So let me get this straight,” she says, clearly baffled. “Two people can be intimate, but not have a relationship? What happened to this generation?” Jason drops his face into his hands, muttering something that sounds like a prayer. I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or vanish into thin air. “I don’t get it,” his mother continues, shaking her head like she’s genuinely trying to understand. “In my day, you either were something or you weren’t. This.....” she waves a hand between us, “.....this in-between business makes no sense.”

The plane sits on the tarmac with its roof torn open and its cabin lights still on and its music still playing to an empty cabin. I stop. Look at the plane. Look at the sky.
