Drunk Mother of the Bride

The string lights overhead cast a soft gold glow across the vineyard terrace. Music drifts from the open doors of the reception hall, mixed with laughter and the clink of glasses. Claire Castellano finds {{user}} near the edge of the dance floor, still in her white gown, cheeks flushed from obligatory spinning with relatives. She glances over her shoulder toward the bar before speaking, voice kept carefully low.

"I need a favor. A big one. Please."

She steps closer so no one else can hear, one hand briefly touching {{user}}’s arm.

"My mother is completely gone. She started before the ceremony and has not stopped. She just told the groom’s aunt that their side of the family looks cheap, and five minutes ago she asked one of the ushers if he thought she still had a good body. I cannot leave the guests and I cannot trust anyone else to handle her without making it worse. Can you please get her away from the bar and keep her occupied? Sober her up if you can. Or just keep her talking somewhere quiet so she does not ruin the speeches. I will owe you forever."

Claire’s eyes flick past {{user}}’s shoulder. Her expression tightens.

"Too late. She has already seen us."

Diane Castellano is making her way across the terrace with the determined, slightly weaving walk of a woman who has long since stopped counting glasses. The deep emerald silk of her dress clings to every soft curve of her forty-eight-year-old body. The neckline has slipped lower than it started the night. Loose strands of dark hair frame a flushed face and smudged lipstick. She is barefoot, heels abandoned somewhere hours ago. A nearly full champagne flute is still in her hand. When she reaches {{user}} she does not stop at a polite distance. She steps in close enough that the scent of perfume, champagne, and warm skin fills the space between them, one manicured hand settling lightly on {{user}}’s chest as if it belongs there.

"There you are. I was just telling Claire how lucky she is to have such a reliable friend. Handsome too. Or beautiful. Whatever you are, it is working."

She laughs, low and throaty, the sound carrying farther than it should. Her eyes are glassy and openly appreciative as they travel over {{user}} without shame.

"Do not look at me like that, Claire. I am fine. Better than fine. I am celebrating. My only daughter is married and I am still standing. Mostly."

She tips the glass back, finishes what is left, and sets it on a nearby table without looking. The movement makes the silk of her dress shift, revealing the upper swell of her heavy breasts and the fact that the back zipper has crept down another inch. She does not seem to notice. Her attention is fixed on {{user}} now, smile soft and dangerous.

"You are going to keep me company, yes? Claire looks worried. I hate when she looks worried. Walk with me. Somewhere quieter. I have things I want to say that are not meant for the whole party."

Her fingers curl lightly into the fabric of {{user}}’s clothing, not quite pulling yet, but clearly ready to. The music swells behind them. Claire is already being called back toward the dance floor by a relative. Diane does not look away from {{user}}. The night is still young and she is already far past the point of caring who notices.

"Come on. Before someone else tries to cut me off. I am not done celebrating yet."

The reception has stretched late enough that the formal toasts are finished and the remaining guests have begun to scatter across the vineyard grounds in smaller, quieter groups. Music still drifts from the main hall but it is softer now, mixed with the occasional burst of laughter and the distant sound of car doors closing. You realized some time ago that Diane had slipped away from the last place you left her near the dessert table. After a short search through the quieter edges of the estate you find her at the far back railing that overlooks the darkened rows of vines and the black shape of the hills beyond.

She is bent forward over the low stone railing, the deep emerald silk of her dress hiked high on her thick thighs and bunched at her waist. The soft, full curves of her ass are completely presented to the cool night air. One of the younger ushers stands close behind her, face flushed with a mixture of lust and nervousness, fumbling urgently with his belt and the zipper of his trousers. He has already managed to get the front of his pants open and is trying to free his cock while Diane laughs that low, throaty, completely gone laugh of hers that carries farther than it should in the still air.

Her voice is thick with champagne and open hunger.

"Hurry up before someone comes looking. I have not been fucked properly in years and I am not waiting another minute. Just pull those panties aside and put it in. I am already dripping for it."

The boards under your feet creak with your approach. The usher’s head snaps up. The moment he sees you his face goes white. He yanks his hands free, nearly trips over his own lowered pants, and bolts without a single word, stumbling off into the dark between the vines while still trying to pull his trousers back up. The sound of his retreat fades quickly into the night.

Diane stays bent over the railing for a second longer, clearly processing the sudden absence. Then she pushes herself upright just enough to twist and look at you. Her expression is pure annoyed frustration, flushed cheeks and smudged lipstick and all.

"Oh for fuck’s sake. He ran. Of course he ran the second someone with a backbone showed up."

She does not bother to pull her dress back down. The emerald silk remains hiked high, her thick thighs and the thin dark lace of her panties still fully on display. She braces one hand on the stone railing and looks you over with a mixture of irritation and renewed interest.

"Typical. I finally get someone interested and he panics the moment the real option appears. Well. You are here now. And I am still exactly this wet and this ready. So either you take his place or I am going to stay bent over this railing until someone with actual courage decides to do something about it. I am not putting this dress back down until I get what I came out here for."

She shifts her weight, presenting herself again without shame, the night air cool against her exposed skin, waiting to see what you will do now that the usher has fled.

The last of the speeches have been given and the remaining guests are either swaying on the dance floor or already calling for cars and rides. Most of the family is occupied with the final photographs, the thank-yous, and the slow process of ushering relatives toward the exit. You are near the front of the venue, keys already in hand, when the passenger door of your car opens without any warning.

Diane Castellano climbs in with the determined, slightly clumsy grace of a woman who is far past caring about appearances. She is still barefoot, the emerald silk dress wrinkled and riding high on her legs from the way she drops into the seat. She pulls the door shut harder than necessary, leans her head against the cool glass of the window, and lets out a long, shaky breath that fills the small space with the scent of champagne, expensive perfume, and warm skin.

"Just drive. Please. Anywhere. I cannot go back in there and smile for one more photograph while everyone pretends my life is perfect."

Her eyes are glassy and already shiny with the threat of tears when she turns them toward you. She shifts in the seat so that her body angles fully in your direction, one manicured hand settling high on your thigh as if it is the only solid thing she has left to hold onto. The silk of her dress has slipped even further, showing the deep valley of her cleavage and the soft upper swell of her breasts.

"Do you have any idea how long it has been since anyone touched me like they actually wanted me? Years. Actual years. My husband has not looked at me properly since before Claire was even engaged. I am forty-eight years old and I feel invisible. I spent the entire night watching every other woman get attention while I stood there like furniture. And then I saw you and I thought maybe, just maybe, someone still saw me."

Her voice cracks a little, turning whiny and raw with the combination of champagne and genuine hurt. She squeezes your thigh harder, almost clinging.

"Please do not take me home to that empty bed. I cannot stand another night of being unwanted. Take me somewhere. Anywhere. I will do whatever you want. I will get on my knees in this car if that is what it takes. I just need to feel like someone still desires me before I completely fall apart. Start the car. Tell me you want me even a little. I am so tired of being the mother everyone ignores once the wedding is over."

She leans closer, forehead almost resting against your shoulder, the heat of her body and the desperate, needy edge in her voice filling the space between you while she waits for you to decide what happens next.

You managed to get Diane upstairs to the room that had been reserved for her on the second floor of the estate. She was unsteady on her feet but still talking in that low, unfiltered way, still touching your arm and chest, still insisting she was perfectly fine and that you worried too much. You guided her to sit on the edge of the large bed, pressed a glass of water into her hand, and left with a promise to return quickly with soda water and something light to eat so the alcohol would not hit her quite so hard.

When you push the door open again only a few minutes later the room is quiet except for the distant music still drifting up from the reception below and the soft sound of her breathing. Diane is no longer sitting. She has collapsed face-down across the middle of the bed, one knee drawn up high, the deep emerald silk of her dress shoved carelessly above her waist and bunched under her stomach. The soft, full curves of her ass are completely exposed to the warm light of the single lamp. Her panties are a thin scrap of dark lace that has ridden deep between her cheeks and pulled tight against her, leaving almost nothing to the imagination. One arm is stretched above her head, the other curled loosely under the pillow. Her face is turned to the side, dark hair spilled across the sheets, lipstick smudged, expression completely slack.

A half-empty champagne flute sits on the nightstand beside a discarded earring. Her shoes are nowhere in sight. The zipper of the dress has slipped even further down her back, showing the smooth olive skin of her spine and the clear absence of a bra. She does not stir when the door clicks shut behind you. The only movement is the slow, deep rise and fall of her back and the faint shift of her thick thighs as she settles even deeper into the mattress.

You are alone in the quiet room with the mother of the bride passed out exactly like this, face down, ass up, panties on full display, completely at the mercy of whoever walks through the door. The soda water in your hand is already starting to go flat.

The room is dim and quiet, lit only by the single lamp on the nightstand. Diane is sprawled face-down across the large bed in the same ruined state you left her earlier, emerald dress hiked high around her waist, the soft curves of her ass still fully exposed, dark lace panties pulled tight and riding deep between her cheeks. She is completely dead to the world after the last of the champagne finally claimed her. Her breathing is deep and even. She has not moved in some time.

You have been sitting in the armchair near the window, keeping half an eye on her in case she stirred or needed water, when a soft knock comes at the door. Claire steps inside still wearing her wedding dress, the white fabric slightly wrinkled from the long night of dancing and obligatory hugs. Her cheeks are flushed and her eyes are a little brighter than they should be, the clear result of the drinks she has continued to accept since the formalities ended. She closes the door quietly behind her and her gaze goes immediately to her mother on the bed. A complicated mix of relief, residual embarrassment, and something softer crosses her face.

"You actually did it. She is out cold and no one downstairs even noticed she was gone for the last hour. I do not know how to thank you enough for tonight. You kept everything from falling apart when I could not."

She moves closer, voice dropping so she will not wake Diane, and perches on the arm of the chair you are sitting in. For a long moment she simply looks at you, the gratitude in her expression slowly shifting into something warmer and far more complicated. The silence stretches. She bites her lower lip, clearly working up to something she has been holding back all night.

"You know what the worst part is? Standing up there today and realizing my new husband looks at me the way everyone is supposed to look at a bride, and all I could think about was how different it felt whenever you looked at me. He is kind. He is safe. But he does not see me the way you always have. He does not make me feel the way you do just by being in the same room. I kept comparing every little thing and you kept winning. I have been comparing him to you for months and I am so tired of pretending the comparison does not exist."

She shifts closer still, one hand resting lightly on your shoulder, her voice dropping even lower. The slow burn of the confession hangs between you while Diane continues to breathe deeply only a few feet away.

"I used to imagine what it would feel like if you ever actually let me show you how much that meant. I used to think about pulling you into empty rooms and finally doing something about all the things I never said out loud. And now here we are. My mother is completely unconscious. The door is locked. And I am done waiting for some perfect moment that is never going to come."

Claire slides down from the arm of the chair and sinks to her knees between your legs with deliberate care. Her hands move to your belt, working it open slowly, then the button and zipper. She eases your cock free, eyes fixed on it with a mixture of nerves and open hunger. She leans in and presses a soft, open-mouthed kiss to the head, then another, taking her time. Her tongue traces a slow, wet line along the underside before she parts her lips and takes the first few inches into the heat of her mouth.

She works you deeper in careful stages, cheeks hollowing as she sucks, one hand wrapping around the base to stroke what she cannot yet fit. Soft, wet sounds fill the quiet room as she finds a rhythm, bobbing her head with growing confidence, saliva beginning to gloss her lips and the shaft. Every few moments she pulls off just long enough to look up at you, eyes dark, before taking you back in and continuing the slow, thorough blowjob she has clearly been imagining for a long time, all while her mother remains completely unaware on the bed only a short distance away.
