Chapter 76: Chapter 76: A Helping Hand (Part 3)

Unaware of what Don was thinking, Samantha turned her attention to the tub and leaned in to feel the water. Don watched her do this and once again he couldn't help but let his eyes focus on her rear, which looked even more apparent in the towel Samantha was wearing.

"The water seems just fine. What do you think Donnie?" She asked without bothering to look back.

"Uh, yeah, it's just perfect…" Don muttered, choosing to turn his gaze away before his thoughts could wander in a dangerous direction and cause his body to react.

'How do I even go about this? Do I just try or… no. Things have been going well so far and our relationship is definitely improving. This isn't a game so if I'm serious about this I can't mess it up. My approach needs to be methodical.' After taking a moment to consider the situation, Don decided against making any overly bold moves as he understood this wasn't something he could simply rush into.

Having received confirmation from don, Samantha turned to face him with a smile and gestured him toward the tub. "Alright then, get your boxers off and I'll help you climb in."

"Huh?" Don was slightly surprised to hear that even his boxers had to be removed. Samantha took his reaction for not wanting to and sighed, "come on Donnie, you don't really expect to wash in those do you? I'm your mother, I've seen you in your birthday suit more times than I can count. Would you be more comfortable if I closed my eyes?"

'I'd be more comfortable if I wasn't the only one naked but I can't really say that now can I?' Don inwardly sighed but he chose to try something. "Well I was comfortable at first because I thought you came wearing something under the towel you could get wet in while helping me wash in my briefs."

Don knew that by wording it this way, he was at least not blatantly asking her to get naked. Rather he was expressing that he was initially comfortable because he thought they'd be both mildly dressed.

"Oh," Samantha gave a knowing look as she understood what Don was trying to say, not even suspecting that they were any ulterior motives behind his words.

She lowered her gaze to look at her towel and placed her hand on the upper part of it before replying, "I was just planning to take a bath after I was done helping you. I'm only wearing my undies under this Donnie." She explained.

'Well, it was worth a try.' Don thought, choosing not to push his luck as he gave a nod. "Oh, then it's alright then," Don replied before turning to face the tub.

Samantha looked at him and sighed, 'he must be really uncomfortable with this. I guess it's not the same since he's older but I'm still his mother so…'

Having reached her own conclusion, Samantha cleared her throat and nervously suggested, "uhm… if it makes you more comfortable, I can also undress, it'll be like old times when you and Summer still joined me for baths. Would that be better?"

'Is she serious?' Don couldn't believe what he was hearing, but he felt the urge to immediately yell "yes", however he stopped himself from doing so.

As great of an opportunity this was, it could still be fumbled if he reacted or spoke wrongly, after all, Samantha was clearly still approaching the whole interaction as a concerned mother trying to help her son, no matter what.

From her perspective, it likely wasn't that big of a deal if not a little bit awkward for them both. But it was better to both feel a bit awkward and Don alone.

In response, Don acted a bit unsure. The best way to diffuse awkwardness like this was with humor, just like when he was convincing Samantha to try on the dresses at Mi Casa. So he showed her a smile and scratched his head, "I don't think you and I can both fit in the tub, mom."

Samantha couldn't help but smile back and shake her head, "oh you know I don't mean exactly like old times Donnie. Do you really not want me to help you bath that bad? I can ask your aunt if you prefer-."

Don saw another opportunity to lighten the mood and so he quickly shook his head and cut her off, saying, "No way, aunt Amanda will definitely use this chance to poke fun at me and make weird jokes."

Samantha chuckled at Don's reaction and nodded in agreement, "she definitely might tease you a bit about it. Or do you maybe want to try your luck with Summer?"

Don showed a disgusted expression and shook his head, "I'd rather stay dirty than even try asking her for help with that."

"Oh don't be mean Donnie, she's still your sister and I'm sure she'd be more than willing to help if you asked."

"Nope. Not doing it. Fine you win, let's go with your way. Why do I feel like you only brought up aunt Amanda and Summer to try and convince me?" Don narrowed his eyes at Samantha and gave her a suspicious look, trying to jokingly accuse her of steering the situation back to what she suggested.

By at least doing this, he agreed to her suggestion in a none awkward way that Samantha didn't even pay any mind to. After all, to her, she finally convinced Don to agree. Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She laughed at his claim and brought both hands over to her chest, looking ready to remove her towel. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't, now can we please hurry, the water is getting cold."

After saying this, Samantha leaned in so she could help Don remove his boxers. She chose to stand behind him as she did this to avoid any awkwardness, because mother or not, she too felt anxious doing this.

Don could feel her gentle hands tickle his skin as grabbed the edges of his boxers and began to lower them. She was a bit quicker than when she was lowering his pants but still proceeded with caution to avoid causing Don any pain.

'Man, this feels weird.' Don couldn't deny the sense of awkwardness he felt by standing buck naked in front of Samantha.

"There, that wasn't so hard now was it?" Samantha questioned as she pulled her hands away from Don and brought them over to her chest, casually unwrapping her towel before letting it fall to the ground.

Unaware of this, Don turned his head to reply, "I suppose-!!", however before he could finish his sentence, he was met with stunning sight of Samantha standing in only her underwear.
