"Fine, fine, you three will always love each other. I'm just too paranoid..."
As Katherine backed down and admitted she was in the wrong, all three of the kids cheered in happiness.
"Ahem, time for you guys to go to sleep... Alex, go to my room, okay? I'll be there later."
With both Sophia and Mary heading back to their room, Alex reluctantly entered Katherine's room alone.
Lying flat on the bed, he could hear the water faucet running on the other side as the bathtub was just a wall away.
"Come on, just go to sleep. You're too exhausted today already..."
Despite trying to calm himself down, Alex's mind was filled with Katherine's body—the voluptuous curves fulfilled every man's fantasy.
"Stop thinking about that. She's your mom, for god sake... Stop being so weird and creepy."
As Alex's mind finally started to drift away from his perverted thoughts, the water had been turned off.
"Alex, are you asleep?"
"Mom, I can't fall asleep..."
After confessing the truth, Alex was a little stunned when he looked over to Katherine sitting next to him.
The moonlight had shone through the window, illuminating her pajama with a layer of light as it reflected off her long, wet hair.
"That's okay... Let me tell you a bedtime story before you go to sleep, then."
As Katherine opened the blanket and moved inside, his attention was instantly distracted by Katherine's lack of a bra.
"What kind of story do you want to hear today?" Katherine asked softly as she gently wrapped her arms around him.
"Um, how about an adventure story?"
Alex calmly replied, trying to hide his heartbeat as it almost felt like she was cuddling him with her warm body.
"Sure. There was once an adventurer that nobody knew..."
Katherine paused for a second as she looked over to Alex's face, his eyes wide open as he barely looked sleepy at all.
"The adventurer was just a beginner trying to make an honest living. But one day, he saw a contract that would change his life.
It was a contract to move to the new frontier, far away from his hometown. He hesitated for a second, but they ultimately took the contract.
As he met up with the person who posted the contract, there was already a group of adventurers who had also taken it.
The mission was simple: Protect a group of villagers and help them settle on the new frontier, Northwest of the capital.
On the way, the newbie adventurer became increasingly famous and eventually became the leader of the group.
His sword skill was unmatched, protecting everyone in the front at every battle the group encountered.
Goblins, slime, any kind of monster you can think of. He was always in the front, fighting them off from the caravan.
All of the villagers and the other adventurers started treating him as a kind hero, willing to stay behind as the last person to bail everyone out when something goes wrong.
However, halfway through the journey, a dragon appeared... It was so big that even the wisest of the mages couldn't comprehend it."
As Katherine paused the story, Alex's attention was fully hooked onto the story as his eyes were filled with curiosity.
"What happens next?" Alex impatiently asked.
"The dragon demanded one of the mages to be handed over, and the adventurer group refused the dragon's demand, causing the dragon to split its endless flame.
Everything was looking hopeless as the dragon effortlessly ran over everyone's attempt to fight back, getting closer and closer to kidnapping the mage."
As Katherine started describing the dragon with her arms, Alex's eyes were constantly staring towards it as it flew all over the place.
"All of the spells were being thrown at the dragon, but it vanished with a single breath of flame...Until, Boom!
A giant dark meteor flew from the sky as it crashed right onto the dragon's head, causing it to crash down onto the ground."
"Did the dragon die?" Alex curiously asked.
"Obviously, no. It was only a scratch that angered the dragon even more. It flew up into the air once again and blew out blue flames that melted everything.
Everyone was running for their lives, scattering all over the place as they tried to save themselves.
It was absolute chaos until the once-nobody adventurer made a name for themself... He stepped up to the challenge."
With Katherine pausing once again, Alex started to feel a little annoyed. But he still took up the bait to ask.
"What happens next?"
"As everyone hid themselves in a tree, the hero waited for the perfect time for the dragon to fly low in search of the mage.
With a heroic jump, the hero landed right on its head. A swift stab, thrusting it down to its skull, the dragon was in pain as the sword managed to pierce through its scales.
Unfortunately, the sword also breaks in half as the dragon flies high up into the air, almost all the way up to the clouds."
As Katherine moved her hand into the air, Alex couldn't help but feel fear for the hero, as he couldn't imagine someone going that high up.
"Just as the hero was about to slip from the dragon's head, he pulled out the remaining part of the sword and stabbed right in the dragon's eye.
The pain immediately enraged the dragon even more, causing it to dive right down towards the ground as the adventurer held onto the sword to his dying breath.
They were reaching closer and closer to the ground. The hero had to do something or else he was going to be crushed into paste.
With no time to think, he lifted himself with his raw strength once again, climbing all the way on top of the dragon's head.
Just as the hero thought he was going to be safe, the dragon suddenly flipped itself over, causing him to lose his grip.
He was now free-falling from the sky, with only seconds remaining before he seals his fate, landing on the ground."
Taking another short pause, Katherine noticed Alex was starting to look a little sleepy as his eyes became heavier and heavier.
"In the nick of time, one of the mages cast a levitation spell to save him... But now, the dragon was back up again.
Its face was full of vengeance, ready to kill everyone in sight as the sky turned red from the spell it was about to cast.
Once again, just in the nick of time, another mage finally finished casting a mass teleportation spell, transporting everyone out of there.
They had finally escaped the dragon, and a few days later, they reached the frontier. That's the end of the story... What do you think?"
Alex could feel the story had been cut short, but his eyes were too tired to complain about it.
"I love it. Thank you, Mom..."
"No problem, sweetie... Okay, it's time for you to sleep now."
After Katherine tucked Alex in, she lay back down on the bed before trying to go to sleep herself.
"Mom... Was the adventurer in the story Dad?"
Alex suddenly asked, feeling that the main character sounded a little familiar to the townspeople's stories about his dad being a hero once.
"Maybe. Go to sleep now, okay? You're way past your bedtime."
The room fell back into silence as Alex's eyelids became too heavy to keep up, forcing him to fall asleep as everything faded to black.

The next day...
As Katherine woke up early to prepare breakfast, she felt something resting on top of her.
The blanket was long gone, yet her body still felt a little warm. More importantly, she could feel something hard poking at her crotch.
Opening her eyes, Alex was sleeping below her chest, his arms wrapped around her waist.
Katherine tried to push him aside gently without waking him up, but her effort failed when she accidentally let Alex fall headfirst.
"Hm? Mom?"
"You can go back to sleep. You don't have to wake up yet."
Despite Katherine's whisper, Alex was now fully awake, realizing the warm thing he was hugging in his dream was Katherine's body.
"Sorry, Mom, I——"
"Don't say sorry, okay? I don't want to hear that word from you... It's a natural thing for a boy to have an erection in the morning."
Katherine hesitated for a second before continuing to ask her question.
"Do you feel a little pain down there?"
Alex instinctively nodded, even though his mind was telling him that saying no was the rational choice.
"I-I'm going to teach you how to masturbate, okay? You can do this to yourself in the future."
As Katherine moved her hands down to Alex's pants, his brain had completely frozen from what she had just said.
He couldn't believe what she had just said out loud, seeing her face blush red as she took down his pants.
"Mom, I don't need you to teach me——"
"Shush. I know nobody has taught you this before. Don't try to argue with me. I'm just going to teach this once to you."
Alex wanted to tell her she was completely wrong, but his mouth just couldn't get the courage to argue back.
"Whoa... How did he grow this big when he was still so young?" Katherine thought to herself as she stared down at his cock.
Gently grasping the shaft with only one hand, Alex almost couldn't hold it in as the sensation almost overwhelmed him.
A ton of pre-cum had already started flowing out, lubricating Katherine's hand as she gently touched the tip.
"What you do is gently stroke the tip back and forth, okay? Letting the foreskin peel back a little before letting it go back up."
Alex bit his lip as he didn't want Katherine to think that he couldn't even last a minute, but the feeling of having someone do it for him was way stronger than he had ever imagined.
Not to mention, she was peeling his foreskin more and more back with every stroke, yet just enough to where it only gave him pleasure without actually hurting.
"You don't have to hold back, sweetie... Just let it all out——"
"Hm!"
The hot air from Katherine's whisper made Alex let out a cute moan as his body released squirts of white liquid onto her hand.
"Ahem, so you know how to masturbate now, right?"
Alex nodded in silence, his face blushing red, still too shy to speak up as Katherine started cleaning her hands with a spell.
"Only do this in private by yourself, okay? Don't do it when your sisters are around."
Seeing him nod again, she began to wash Alex's cock with water floating in the air, seeping a little underneath his foreskin to clean it fully.
"And don't forget to start cleaning underneath the foreskin, too... You don't want it to be dirty."
After drying it with a towel, she finally pulled his underwear and pants back up, covering his crotch and legs as she tucked him back into the bed.
"Now go back to sleep, okay? I'll wake you up when it's breakfast."
With Katherine leaving the room and closing the door, Alex quickly got up from the bed and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Calm down, Alex. Katherine is just doing this to teach you... It's only going to be a one-time thing.
Katherine is never going to——No, I shouldn't think of her as Katherine. She's your mom, you idiot."
A loud slap echoed in the room, his left side of his face turning red as he looked at himself in shame.
"Get all your perverted thoughts out of your head... She would be so hurt if she knew what you're thinking of."
