Elara's POV

I slept until ten the next morning, which was the longest I had slept in over a week. The house was quiet when I came downstairs. Mom stood at the stove making eggs and the radio played something low in the background and for one disorienting moment everything felt completely normal. Like none of it had happened. Like I had just woken up late on a Saturday and the biggest problem in the room was whether we had enough bread for toast.

Then my shoulder pulled when I reached for the cof

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty Nine — Letters

    Damien's POVMom was in the kitchen when we got home. She looked up when we came in and read Elara's face the way she had learned to do over the past weeks. Not invasive. Just attentive."Sit down," she said. "I will put the kettle on."Elara sat. I stayed by the door for a moment. "I will give you two some space."Elara looked at me. "Stay," she said. "Please."I sat.Mom set three cups on the table and joined us. She looked at Elara and waited."Daniel kept letters," Elara said. "Letters you wrote him after you ended things. He has had them for twenty three years." She held her mother's gaze. "He wants to give them to me. I said yes. I wanted to tell you before Thursday."The kitchen was quiet. Mom wrapped both hands around her cup. Something moved through her face that was too layered to read quickly. Not shame. Not quite. Something older and more complicated."How many," she said finally."I do not know yet."Mom looked at the table. "I wrote to him for almost a year after I ended

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty Eight — Friction

    Damien's POVElara was already on the phone when I arrived. She stood at the window with her back to the door, one hand holding the phone and the other pressed flat against the glass, which meant the call was either difficult or important. I set my coffee down quietly and did not interrupt.She turned when she heard me. Held up one finger.I sat and opened my laptop and listened without appearing to listen."I understand the timeline is tight," she said. "But the terms we agreed do not reflect what you are asking for now. That is a scope change and it needs to go back through the process." A pause. "I am not saying no. I am saying the original agreement does not cover this and we need to be honest about that before we move forward." Another pause, shorter. "Good. Send it through in writing and I will have something back to you by end of day."She hung up and turned around."Hartley," she said. "They want to add two regional routes to the first contract without adjusting the fee.""Wha

  • FUCK ME STEPBROTHER   Chapter Thirty Seven — Meridian

    Damien's POVAlexander was already at the desk when I arrived. He had brought the good coffee this time, the kind from the place on the corner that took twelve minutes to make and was worth every one of them. He slid a cup across without looking up from the file he was reading."How did Thursday go," he said."Ask Elara.""I am asking you."I sat down and picked up the coffee. "She came home steady. Quieter than usual but the good kind of quiet. She called him the next morning." I paused. "That is all I know. The rest is hers."Alexander nodded and went back to the file. That was one of the things I had come to appreciate about him. He asked directly and accepted the answer and did not push at the edges of what was not his.The morning moved fast. We had four open proposals in the pipeline and two of them were close enough to need attention before the week ended. I worked through the first while Alexander handled calls from the second client's legal team, his voice in the background l

  • 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

    Elara's POVThe nurse had just checked my bandage and left when my phone buzzed on the nightstand. Unknown number. I answered because I had stopped being careful about that days ago.The voice was calm. Older. The kind of calm that did not come from peace but from never having needed to rush."Miss

    Elara's POVWalsh listened without interrupting. She let us talk through all of it from the beginning and she wrote almost nothing down. Just watched us. I got the feeling she was the kind of person who trusted her memory more than her notes and had been right about that long enough to keep doing it
