Surprising Stepmother Authors note: The following is an actual account of an incident that happened when I was a young boy growing up near a major US city. This happened in 1978 and I have been a fan of female power and some femdom ever since. Unfortunately, this first part is short and the only part of this story that is factual. Any subsequent versions (such as II or III) are just a young boy's fantasy. About four years ago, my father and mother split up after almost 15 years of marriage. Looking back, it was somewhat difficult for me to come to grips to with it, however I adjusted quickly with the reassurance that my parents still both loved me, and I was not the cause of their breakup. They simply drifted apart and had fallen out of love. I was a typical 12 year old boy at the time and they both figured that I was old enough to deal with this. I ended up opting to spend time with both parents, but I wanted to stay with my father primarily because all my friends were in the area, plus the fact that my mother had already started a new life across the country. A few months down the road, my father started dating a smart, attractive brunette whose name was Pam. She was only 26 to his 40 but they seemed to really like each other. Pam was a warm and friendly person who was very sweet to me every time she came over to be with my father. Being an adolescent, I also noticed that Pam had a very nice slender body and she was very busty. She always wore shorts or skirts to show off her beautiful, long legs and would turn around to catch me 'peeking' every now and then with a wry smile on her pretty face. They continued to date each other until one day, my father announced that he was going to marry Pam and she would be my new stepmother. He was nervous that I would reject anybody else trying to step into my maternal mother's shoes, but nothing was further from the truth, I was very happy with my father's choice for my new stepmother and they were married shortly thereafter. Pam continued to grow close to me as her new son and I got the feeling she was really starting to develop a motherly bond with me. Actually, she was closer to a big sister than my stepmother ... she was always helping me with my homework, teaching me how to cook and take care of myself. When she was angry or disappointed with me, she would calmly talk to me about it in a non-accusatory tone and we would work out whatever problem was there. About a month ago, my father got a great opportunity with his job to take a position overseas for six months. He discussed the pros and cons of this opportunity with us and we all came to the conclusion that this was too much money and prestige to pass up. A week later, we put my father on a plane to Europe and went about our lives as best we could for the six months he would be gone. Then it happened. One night, Pam and I had just come out of the movies and we were laughing and joking with each other on the way out to the parking lot. Pam had worn a short skirt with a light top and she started to cool down in the night air. We had to park far from the theater because the lot was jammed when we came in so I offered her my coat until we got to the car. Only a couple of cars remained here and there with a lone street lamp barely illuminating our car. We were approaching the car and Pam was digging in her purse when 'WHAM' we were shoved roughly into the side of the car from the rear. I wheeled around to see three men, one with a knife pointed at us! "Purse and wallets, let's go ... QUICK!", came a raspy voice from the middle guy waving the knife around. I was stunned, frozen to the ground ... but Pam just held out her purse saying, "here, take it and go, I don't want any trouble!" "You!", he barked at me. "Make with the wallet!" Pam stood between myself and the thugs and quietly told me to do it, quickly. I did as I was told and threw my wallet to the ground before them. "You've got what you want, now please ... leave us alone!", Pam said in her calm manner, an edge to her voice (understandably). "Well, maybe we want something else now ... something pretty maybe like you for instance?!?" He suddenly shifted his attention to me and growled, " ... or maybe we'll hurt your little man here just for fun!" I panicked and charged by the thug with the knife, I was thinking of trying to break free and outrun them, then go looking for help. I was caught with a fist to the side of my head and fell back onto the cold pavement. I looked up trying to refocus my blurry vision. It was like the next thirty seconds happened in slow motion. Pam yelled, "NO!" and took a step towards the guy with the knife. She grabbed the arm the knife was in and whirled inside his outstretched arm and let out what sounded like a karate type yell and threw her elbow into the guy's face. His head snapped back as he screamed in pain. Almost faster than I could follow, she ducked under his arm that she still held and stood up behind the guy twisting his arm and wrenching him over. She did another karate yell in and slammed her palm into the guy's elbow snapping his arm! I remember vividly the knife bouncing off the pavement with a clinging sound, right in front of me in what seemed like slow motion, I barely heard it over the guy's scream of agony. Pam kicked the back of the guy's knee and he went down on both. She whirled around and drove her knee into the side of the guy's head with a short, loud "HEI!" He fell to the pavement like a sack of laundry right beside me, knocked out cold. His arm was bent back at an unnatural angle and he was starting to bleed out of his mouth. She shifted her attention to the next nearest attacker, still in her martial arts type fighting stance, legs slightly flexed with arms up and hands extended. The cheery look she always had was gone, in its place was a grim scowl that frightened me a little. "You're dead bitch!", the next guy spit before he lunged at her. Pam simply stepped under the (what seemed like a) slow awkward attack pushing the guy harmlessly past her, at the same time she turned her head and let out another karate yell, this time slamming her foot into the third man's nose who was moving up behind her. His head snapped back as he screamed and I swear I heard his nose crunch when she did, and blood was just gushing from his face. He fell completely sprawled out, not moving, obviously out cold. "Wow!", I thought, "she's a machine!" The third guy wheeled around just in time to see his buddy go sailing backward and hit ground. He turned and threw a punch at Pam which she sidestepped easily. He threw another and another, none coming even close to connecting. Pam simply dodged each sloppy throw and blocked two more before she slammed her fist into the guy's stomach with another, "HEI!". He stumbled back gasping for breath and coughing. Then she did some kind of spinning move and kicked him flush on the side of the head with another loud, sharp, "HEI!". He fell in a crumpled heap and slowly got back to his feet. Pam's usually demure feminine voice now boomed, "Now go ... get out of here, you don't have to do this anymore!" The guy looked like he was turning to walk off, but then I guess he thought he could surprise Pam and made a sudden lunging grab at her. Pam merely danced back a step evading her attacker, and then kicked him in the side of the head yet again! He staggered back holding his face as Pam advanced on him, she did her spin move again and brought the sole of her shoe right across the guy's face! He made a sputtering sound as he hit the ground and lay there sobbing and groaning and spitting blood. As I lay there against the car, I watched her slowly turn and look at each downed opponent still in her Karate stance with her hands out in front of her. When she was convinced the threat was over, she quickly gathered up her purse and my wallet. She helped me up asking if I was okay then started to rush me into the car. She was shaking so badly that I had to help her get the key in the door! She had no idea where she was going, we just got out of there. I was still in shock as Pam asked me several times if I was okay, I don't remember giving any reply, just a blank stare. When we pulled into the driveway, she hustled me inside and told me sit down. Pam studied my face closely, checking me for damage. "Are you okay David, did they hurt you?", to which I simply shook my head slowly. "I'm okay", I said slowly, still dazed. "Well, that looks like a nasty bruise you'll have there where that bastard hit you.", she said in her always calm manner, though there was still a touch of venom in her words. I finally snapped out of my trance and quickly replayed the incident in my head. "Pam, that was amazing! How did you do that to those guys?", I was quite confused. She just looked at me, apparently wondering what to say. "Those were all big guys and you beat the crap out of all of them! I mean, you're a smaller girl and you still beat them all unconscious! One even had a knife for Pete's sake!", I continued still quite amazed. I had never seen a girl do anything like that to a man, let alone multiple men, even in the movies. "It's not something that I feel comfortable talking about, it brings back violent memories that I don't want to dredge up, it's something I deal with", she said with a great sadness in her face. She continued, "Just suffice to say, I abhor violence and it pains me to hurt people, even people who want to hurt me or my family." She could see that this explanation wasn't going to satisfy my curiosity. She sighed, "Again, I don't like remembering this, but when I was a young girl, I was attacked and brutalized. Some years later, when I had sufficiently recovered mentally and physically, I promised myself I would find a way to disable people who wish to enforce their will on me. We had a Japanese neighbor and one day he stopped by. He wished to convey his sympathy over what happened and offered to help. He told me he knew how I could be secure again and he began teaching me Karate and Thai kick boxing so that one day I could defend myself", she looked at me with her brown eyes and softly caressed my face, "and my loved ones." "Honey, your father doesn't know about any of this, and I would really like it if he never knew", she said with a plead in her voice. "Why? I think it's cool you know how to use Karate and you can protect us, like you protected me tonight." Pam hugged me. "Thanks honey, I'm relieved I was able to defend you and myself from those idiots ... but, the role of family defender is still perceived as the man's job, and I don't want to take anything away from your father. I want him to be secure in his relationship with me, and that may change if he finds out that I can use Karate. Men don't want to be inferior to their women, especially as fighters, that's always been considered a 'manly' thing, it makes most guys uncomfortable to realize their wives or girlfriends are either stronger or better fighters than they are." "Well, after watching you beat those guys up, I'm not going to consider women weak anymore!" "That's good son, never underestimate anybody, man or woman," she said softly. "There's another reason I want to keep this incident quiet, I'm pretty sure I put two of those guys in the hospital, and I don't want to be held responsible for something they brought on themselves," she said. "In our mixed up world, I could conceivably be blamed and held responsible for defending myself." I motioned with my hand pulling an imaginary zipper across my mouth. "Good boy," she smiled and hugged me again. This is unfortunately the only time I ever saw Pam do anything for real. It was somehow very exciting because I didn't quite understand the erotic aspect to it at that age but now remembering it some 20 years later is thrilling. -fin-
