Elara's POV

Daniel had chosen a small cafe two streets from the water. Not the beach town where we had met the first time. A different coast, neutral ground, his suggestion. I had looked it up the night before. Plain exterior, good reviews, the kind of place that did not try too hard. That told me something about him I filed away without deciding what to do with it yet.

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty Six — Thursday

    Elara's POVDaniel had chosen a small cafe two streets from the water. Not the beach town where we had met the first time. A different coast, neutral ground, his suggestion. I had looked it up the night before. Plain exterior, good reviews, the kind of place that did not try too hard. That told me something about him I filed away without deciding what to do with it yet.Damien drove me to the train station in the morning. He did not offer to come and I did not ask him to. This was mine to do alone and we both understood that without discussing it.On the platform he held my hand for a moment. "Call me after," he said."I will.""Not if it goes well. Either way."I looked at him. "Either way," I said.The train took an hour and twenty minutes. I sat by the window and watched the landscape move and tried not to rehearse. Every time I started building a version of the conversation in my head I stopped myself. Daniel was not a script. He was a person I did not know yet and the only honest

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty Five — Monday

    Damien's POVAlexander arrived at eight with coffee and a folder thick enough to suggest he had not slept much. He set both on the desk and looked around the Meridian office like a man confirming something he had been waiting a long time to confirm."Smaller than I expected," he said."It will grow," I said."That is what I mean. It should start small." He sat down and opened the folder. "The two clients I mentioned are both confirmed for this afternoon. The first call is at two. The second at four. I want Elara on both."I looked up. "She agreed to the morning. The calls are her decision.""Then ask her."Elara came in twenty minutes later with her own coffee and a jacket she had borrowed from my wardrobe two weeks ago and not returned. She looked at the office the same way Alexander had. Taking stock. Then she sat in the chair by the window and pulled her knees up and looked at the files on the desk."What do you need from me," she said.Alexander looked at me. I looked at her. "The

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty Four — Photograph

    Elara's POVAlexander left the photograph on the kitchen table the following morning. A small envelope with my name on it in handwriting I did not recognise. I picked it up and turned it over once before I opened it.The photograph inside was old. The colour had gone slightly warm the way photographs from that era did, the edges soft. My mother stood in a garden somewhere I did not recognise. Summer. She was laughing at something off camera, her head turned slightly, her hair loose. She looked young in a way that was hard to absorb. Not just younger. Unguarded. Like the version of her that existed before she decided who she was going to be.I sat down with it.I had seen photographs of Mom when she was young before. The ones she kept in the album in the living room. But those were posed. Holidays. Birthdays. This one was different. Someone had caught her in an unguarded moment and she did not know she was beautiful in it and that made it the most honest image of her I had ever seen.I

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty Three — Home

    Elara's POVWe left the coastal house on the fourth morning as planned. I packed the same bag Damien had edited on the first day and did not add anything back. The drive home felt different from the drive out. Quieter in a different way. Not the quiet of leaving things behind but the quiet of carrying something new and not yet knowing where to put it.Damien drove. I watched the fields come and go and thought about Daniel standing at the water's edge watching us walk away. The shape of his eyes. The way he had not made excuses for the twenty years, just stated them plainly and waited to see what I did with them.I had not decided yet. That was the honest answer."You have been thinking since the beach," Damien said."I have been thinking since before the beach.""Anything you want to say out loud."I looked at the road ahead. "I keep trying to be angry at him and it will not stick. Which makes me angrier at myself than at him, which is probably not useful.""Probably not.""He did not

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty Two — Daniel

    Elara's POV"Start from the beginning," I said. "All of it."Daniel looked at the water for a moment. Then he nodded and we walked, the three of us, slow and without direction along the shoreline while he talked.He had met my mother twenty three years ago at a conference Victor had hosted for business contacts and their associates. She was there with a friend. Daniel was there because Victor had hired him as a financial consultant for a short term project. They were introduced at dinner and talked for three hours and he said he knew before the night was over that she was someone he would not forget easily."We were together for eight months," he said. "Quietly. Victor did not know at the time. Your mother ended it when Victor asked her to marry him. She chose stability. I understood it. I did not like it but I understood."I kept walking. "She was already pregnant.""She did not know yet. She told me six weeks after she ended things. By then she and Victor were engaged." He paused. "

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty One — Truth

    Elara's POV"You have that look," I said from the doorway.Damien set his phone on the table. He looked at me for a moment in a way that made me stop toweling my hair and actually pay attention. Not the threat look. Something quieter and more careful than that."Sit down," he said.I sat. "Who was on the phone.""Alexander." He pulled his chair around so he was facing me directly rather than across the table. Close enough that when he leaned forward his elbows were almost touching my knees. "I need to tell you something and I need you to let me get through all of it before you respond."My stomach tightened. "Okay.""The number from last night. Alexander recognised the format. It connected to a man named Daniel Voss." He watched my face. "He worked with Victor in the early years. Before the syndicate. Before any of it went bad. He and your mother knew each other before she met Victor." A pause. "Before she met anyone."I looked at him. The name sat in my chest doing something I could

    Elara's POVThe knock came again, louder this time. I knew it was Damien. I had sent the message that brought him here, and now he stood on the other side of the door. My heart raced so fast I could feel it in my throat. The love I had for him made everything hurt. He trusted me, and I had led him

    Elara's POVThe police station was cold and too bright. We had been there for two hours giving statements in separate rooms and I was running out of patience and energy in equal measure.

    Elara's POVI woke to pain. It burned hot and sharp in my shoulder and spread down my arm. The world felt blurry at first. Voices came through the fog. Someone held my hand tight. I blinked slow until Damien's face came into focus. He sat beside the stretcher in the ambulance. His gray eyes looked

    Elara's POVDamien kept talking and I kept listening. He told me about the drive, the empty streets, the way the city thinned out the further east he went. His voice stayed calm and even but I knew him well enough now to hear the tension underneath it. He was not calm. He was controlled. There was a
