«Her Daughter's Boyfriend» by Laura Lovecraft

Tina has always tried to do the right thing, especially when it comes to her daughter, Kelly. But when she catches Kelly's boyfriend, Jason staring at her by the pool, she decides to play it up, and not go inside like she should. In the year since her divorce, Tina has worked hard to get back in shape and recapture the body she was once so proud of.

Having the attention of a sexy young man is just what she needed to feel good about herself. A little too good, as she finds herself fantasizing about Jason doing more than looking. In the end, Tina figures what's wrong with a little harmless flirting, especially when Kelly is so busy on the phone she's not paying attention to Jason anyway.

But when Kelly tells Jason broke up with her that night, Tina feels responsible and knows she was wrong. Yet when Jason shows up the next day, looking for her, and not Kelly Tina once again can't seem to do what's right, and invites him in. Tina is about to learn that sometimes doing the wrong thing can feel pretty damn good.

~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~

“I’m not getting in the middle of you two.”

“You didn’t mind getting in the middle yesterday.”

“What the hell does that mean?”

“I know to you I’m a kid, but I’m not stupid. Can we just talk?”

“Go ahead.”

“Can I come in?”

Tina saw no reason to talk and saw the reason the answer should be no. Jason was already staring at her legs  and like yesterday, was making no effort to conceal he was checking her out

Also like yesterday, she returned the favor. Jason was simply dressed in a snug black t-shirt and a pair of tight jeans that showed off the large bulge she’d taken far too much interest in yesterday.

“Miss Denny?”

Tina looked up to see Jason now looking at her, and with a slight smile on his face. Smug bastard had caught her looking. Tell him to leave!

“Okay but be quick about it.”

Tina slid the door open and stood to the side, closing it after he entered. She walked over to the counter and leaned against, gesturing at the table.

“You can sit if you want.”

“I’d rather stand.”

“You don’t have to stand so close; I know to you I’m an old lady, but I can hear just fine.”

“You’re no old lady, Miss Denny,” Jason didn’t move. “And you know it.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Really?” Jason raised his eyebrows. “You’re going to pretend you weren’t putting on a show for me yesterday?”

When Tina’s response was to look away, he nodded.

“Thought so, and I’m pretty sure you knew I was enjoying the show.”

“Okay, it’s been awhile since I had that kind of attention, and I was playing it up,” Tina admitted. “What does that have to do with why you’re here?”

“I’m here because you had just as much fun being watched.” Jason grinned. “You really didn’t think I saw that lame mirror trick? I do that at the beach all the time.”

Tina blushed, she needed to end this.

“If you don’t tell me why you’re here, I’m going to tell you to leave.” Her tone made her even more angry for letting him know he’d gotten to her.

“I’m here because I figure it’s what we both want.”

“Excuse me?”

“I was looking, you were looking, and I’m pretty sure we were both thinking about doing more than looking.”

“Kid, you’re out of your mind if you think I felt anything other than flattered.”

“That why you went in and flattered yourself?” Jason smirked. “Sounded like a good one.”

“Get out, or I’ll call the cops,” Tina warned.

“Let me get this straight,” Jason made no effort to leave. “You’re pissed off at yourself and you’re going to take it out on me?”

His comment caught her off guard, and she hesitated.

“Let’s start over. I’m sorry if I’m being too aggressive.”

“Aggressive?” Tina snorted. “Full of yourself sounds better.”

“I just figure you'd want me to get to the point."

“Did you have a point other than thinking I want you?”

“That's the point,” he said softly. “You do want me.”

“I repeat, get out.”

“Why?” he seemed confused. “We both want it, so why not have some fun?”

“Have some fun,” she repeated. This kid was beyond cocky, but a part of her, the part that had control of her yesterday, found it…exciting.
