Mothers Warmth Part 2 Novels & Stories

But within days, you would begin to feel the raw emergence signs. I thought about what Isla had detailed just this morning. The skin runs significantly warmer than usual. I pressed the back of my hand firmly against my own cheek. Warm. Distinctly, unmistakably warm. It wasn't the erratic heat of a fever. It was something far cleaner than that. It was the specific, visceral warmth of a nature that had been frozen solid for too long and was finally, aggressively remembering its own proper temperature. I stared down at the dull metal. I pictured my mother's trembling hands clasping it onto my wrist.

It was warm, gentle, and alive. Mother's smile softened into something impossibly tender. (Your little one...) Her voice became almost a whisper. (...has never truly left your side.) The glowing spirit floated happily between Lucretius and me before gently brushing against my fingertips. Warmth immediately bloomed throughout my entire body. (He has been watching over both of you. He will continue to do so...) Mother's luminous gaze rested lovingly upon the tiny soul. (...until the day my precious grandchild is ready to be born into your arms once again._

Mom seemed to buy it, though her eyes lingered on me for a moment longer before she said, “Well, turn on the warmer in your room when you go upstairs. You don’t want to catch a cold.” I gave her a tight nod, pretending to be grateful for her advice, while inside I was silently begging the floor to just open up and swallow me whole. My body still tingled from Liam’s touch, and the memory of his fingers working me had my thighs clenching together, trying to trap the warmth that refused to fade.

I made a soft sound accidentally. My dad's body stiffened behind me but he didn't say anything. He was so warm. I could feel heat from his chest permeating my back, taking away a chill that I hadn't realized had been there. For years, it seemed. Wriggling my body a little, I pressed my hips backward. That's when I realized how much warmer that part of him was. Like he was radiating heat from his crotch. It made my skin tingle where our bodies connected. I inhaled deeply and held my body still, enjoying the warmth.

“Stay right here, Angie. Drink this herbal broth,” Mom said softly, pressing a warm bowl into my hands. Her voice was gentle but carried the weight of centuries of maternal instinct. “It's good for the little one.” “Mom, you really don't have to—“ “Hush now, just drink,” she whispered, her hand resting briefly on my hair. Her eyes held a world of unspoken worry and fierce determination. “You're not nearly strong enough yet. Let your mom handle things for a while.”

Zane. His mother had been a warmth reader. She had been a warmth reader for seventeen years without a name for it. She was in the methodology three times. She was named. He breathed. The specific breath I had felt at the southern boundary when the last weight was set down. He breathed. And the founding ground held it. As it held everything. As it always would. I found his hand. His fingers closed. The fire burned. The cold moon rose. The silver in the grass caught it.

Dad sits at the head of the table with a coffee too strong to be healthy, eyes red rimmed from a night of too little sleep, hands clenched around the mug as if it holds the courage he’s never quite learned to offer. “Today,” Mom says, theatrically calm. “Today we begin a new chapter.” She glances at me with that practised warmth that can coax a smile from a wolf, though I’ve learned it’s not warmth at all, just a careful heat aimed at keeping me docile.

A path lit in the floor, leading past my prepared bed to the central platform. On it stood a small black-gold warmer. I knew it before I reached it. No face. No hands. No hair to touch. Still Leo. The archive light inside the warmer trembled as I approached. Thin sound leaked through the casing. "Mmm." I bit the inside of my cheek so hard I tasted fresh blood. "I am here." The warmer brightened. UNLICENSED MOTHER PROXIMITY. ARCHIVE RESPONSE: POSITIVE. Serena's face in the glass sharpened.

Mom unfurled the fleece from the back of the couch and covered us. "Better?" she asked. "Much, thanks," I replied, feeling her warm thigh against mine. My mind ran back to that morning - to watching my mother masturbate while watching a mother and son have sex.
