XAVIER

I do not turn around. My palm is flat against the cold roof of my car, my jaw locked so tight my teeth ache, the weight in my jacket pocket pressing against my ribs.

“I highly doubt we have anything to talk about, Eva,” I manage to speak through gritted teeth. “I’ve said all I came to say. I’m sure you understand your position now.”

She chuckles.

“My position?”

I turn around to face her.

Every trace of the tearful wife is gone. Her cheeks are dry. Her lipstick is perfect. She stops a

  • My Stepbrothers’ Plus-sized Obsession    A FLICKER OF STEEL

    MELANIE The alley is across the road, past two shops, a bus stop, a tree. I walk. Then I walk faster. Then I am nearly running, my flat shoes slapping the pavement, my thoughts racing ahead of my feet.What do I do? What do I do? Follow them. No. I am one person. His hands are in his pockets. Who knows what is in his pockets? Call someone. Call the police. Yes. The police. Right now. Just in case. Just in case something is happening to her right now.What if nothing is happening? What if he is her brother? Her friend? He didn’t look very friendly, but I could be…What if I am wrong? What if I am right? What if I am right? What if I am standing here worrying about looking stupid while he— Call. Call, Melanie. Call.My breath comes in short, ragged pulls that never reach the bottom of my chest. My ears ring. Sweat prickles down my spine. The edges of my vision darken. Every sound suddenly comes in very sharp busts. I hear a bicycle bell, an engine, a dog barking, a stranger's laugh,

  • My Stepbrothers’ Plus-sized Obsession    I HAVE TO HELP

    MELANIE I cannot sleep. My mind keeps racing, frantically searching for the right lie to tell them—something believable enough to explain why she needs to leave without raising any suspicion.By the time it’s bright in the morning, I finally have one.The dining room is bright with morning light. Penelope draws spirals of whipped cream across her stack of pancakes. She’s absolutely obsessed with those these days. Xavier nurses a black coffee with his sunglasses pushed up into his hair, wincing at the subtle clink of cutlery. Cassian reads something on a tablet, while Valentin butters his toast with careful, even strokes."I would love to take a walk later today, say 3pm," I say to the middle of the table.Xavier brightens immediately. "Oh, that's cool. We'll go with you. I can show Pen around. There's a bakery two streets over that does—""No."The word cracks out of me, sharp enough to ring against the plates. The entire room freezes. Penelope's spoon stops halfway to her mouth. Ca

  • My Stepbrothers’ Plus-sized Obsession    KEEP IT SMALL

    MELANIE "Nobody." The laugh that follows is high, thin, nervous. "Nobody was on the phone."Valentin does not budge. He does not blink. Then he slides one hand into his pocket and begins to walk toward me.His steps are unhurried, each one placed with precision. "Do not lie to me, Melanie." His voice is quiet and level. "I saw you. You were on the phone with somebody. You ended the call the moment I opened the door. Who was it?""I don't know what you're talking about." My laugh cracks in the middle. "I wasn't on the phone with anybody. I was just scrolling.""Scrolling." One brow lifts. "You do not scroll. You are barely on social media." Another step. "Was it Evangeline?""No.""Then who was it?"He keeps coming. I keep retreating: one step, two, three, my heel dragging across the carpet, until the back of my knee strikes the edge of the bed. My legs fold. I drop onto the mattress, the bag sliding off my lap.Valentin crouches in front of me. His knees bracket mine; his hands rest

  • My Stepbrothers’ Plus-sized Obsession    WHO WAS ON THE PHONE?

    MELANIEI should read the message, there’s no hiding or running from it. After all, I could be wrong. It doesn’t have to be what or who I think it is, right? RIGHT?!So, I take a deep breath and let it sink in before I proceed to read the text underneath the phone number. “Having a nice time, aren't you? Anyways, I am coming into town tomorrow. We need to talk about and finalize our divorce.”My breath comes in small, sharp sips. None of them reaches the bottom of my chest. My fingertips begin to tingle. The tingling climbs into my lips. The edges of the screen blur white. I sit down hard on the edge of the bed; my knees will not hold me. Cold sweat prickles along my hairline. My pulse is so loud that I hear it in both ears, rapid and uneven, while the room tilts every time I try to swallow. Every organ in my stomach twists into a tight knot. I press the back of my wrist to my mouth and force a slow breath through my nose. It breaks halfway. I have to start again.Brandon.I swip

  • My Stepbrothers’ Plus-sized Obsession    CELEBRATION

    MELANIE I close my eyes, letting the words slip out into the quiet dark, convinced the whisper had dissolved away, swallowed by their sleep.Then, Cassian’s chest vibrates behind me."College?"My breath catches sharply in my throat, freezing me in place. They’re awake.They heard me. Beside me, Xavier shifts, a low, wicked chuckle rumbling in his chest as he props himself up on his elbow. "Did you really think we were asleep, sweet cheeks?"Valentin’s heavy arm tightens around my waist, pulling me a fraction of an inch closer to his chest. "We were never asleep, Mel."I flush crimson in the dark, mortified. "I... I thought you were. It was stupid. Just forget I said anything—""Don't you dare bite your tongue now," Valentin interrupts softly, his thumb tracing the bone of his hip through Cassian's oversized shirt. He sits up, the blankets pooling around his waist, and reaches over to flick on the bedside lamp. The warm yellow light floods the room. "Look at me, spitfire."I look

  • My Stepbrothers’ Plus-sized Obsession    I WANT TO BE SOMETHING

    MELANIE WHEEWWWOne thing I can tell you for free is that making out on your period hits so hard. The intensity of every touch, the fire that lit up in my stomach…my goodness!It almost felt like my body knew that I wanted them, and the blood in my pants would not let me have them, so every feeling, every sensation was heightened. And the post orgasm clarity hit like crack in the 80s. The first thing I do when I can think again is try to pull the sheet over my head.I am boneless. My heart is still slowing. The garden beyond the glass has gone dark. The lamp is low. I am lying in the middle of a wrecked bed with my dress hanging off one shoulder, damp with sweat, streaked with blood, tangled in sheets that were fresh this morning. I have never felt so exposed."Mel." Xavier's voice is warm, close, edged with a laugh. "Are you hiding from us?""No." The sheet muffles me. "Yes."Cassian's hand slides beneath the cotton, finds mine, laces our fingers together. "Don't.""I'm filthy."
