Everyone was together now in this loose comfortable circle that felt familiar and easy in a way that made my chest completely loosen.

Miles, Alex, Vera, and two others whose names I knew but didn't really use outside of group hangouts—everyone was here with drinks in their hands and excited energy radiating off them in waves.

They were circled around me and Lexi, pulling us into the fold like we'd never left, and Vera was already talking before I'd even fully joined the grou

  • Ruin me, Stepbrother   Truth Or Dare

    "We should probably head inside," he said, standing and offering me his hand. "It's getting cold as fuck out here."I let him pull me up, and we stood there for a moment, face to face in the dying firelight, close enough that I could feel the warmth coming off his body."Thank you," he said quietly. "For being honest with me. For not just saying what you think I want to hear.""Of course."He leaned in and kissed me, soft and sweet and brief, and I kissed him back very soft and deep.When we pulled apart, he grabbed the whiskey bottle and we headed inside, leaving the fire to burn itself out safely.The cabin felt warm and cozy after the cold outside, the interior fire still going strong. Miles added a log to keep it burning and we settled on the couch, the blanket from last night draped over both of us.The whiskey was starting to hit harder now, combining with the beer from dinner and the emotional intensity of the past hour to create this floating, disconnected feeling.I was defin

  • Ruin me, Stepbrother   I'm Falling For You

    The words hung in the cold night air. They were as visible as the moon shining over us, and I felt every muscle in my body tense."I'm falling for you."I should say something. I should respond to that vulnerability with something equally honest, or at least kind. But my throat had closed up and my mind was racing through every possible response and finding them all inadequate.Because the truth was that I liked him. I love hin genuinely, truly love him. He makes me laugh, shows up, and he's obviously the exact kind of person anyone with sense would fall for.But it's starting to feel as though liking someone and falling for them weren't the same fucking thing for me, and I was terrified that he could see the difference on my face."You don't have to say anything," Miles said quickly, misreading my silence as panic. "I'm not asking you to say it back or feel the same way or anything. I just... I wanted you to know. Where I'm at.""Miles—""And I know it's fast," he continued, the word

  • Ruin me, Stepbrother   A Good Memory

    We sat there for a while, not talking, just existing. Miles pulled out the sandwiches he'd made turkey and cheese on good bread, with actual lettuce and tomato and mustard, and we ate lunch with our feet dangling over the stream, the sun warm on our faces despite the cold air."Thank you for bringing me here," I said after we'd finished eating. "All of this. It feels like something I was always going to love, but I've never known. It's really special, Miles."He turned to look at me, and there was something soft in his expression. "I wanted to share it with you. These are the places that matter to me, you know? The places I come back to in my head when things get complicated. And I wanted you to see them, to understand why they matter.""I do understand.""Yeah?" He reached over and took my hand, lacing our fingers together. "Because I feel like maybe you're starting to get me. Like you're seeing past the surface stuff to what's actually underneath."I squeezed his hand, unable to spe

  • Ruin me, Stepbrother   Surprisingly Comfortable

    I woke to sunlight streaming through the small loft window and the smell of coffee drifting up from below.For a disoriented moment, I couldn't figure out where the fuck I was. The ceiling was too close, the bed was too narrow, and the sounds were all wrong. Then it came back in a rush.I grabbed my phone to check the time and remembered there was no service. The screen showed 8:23 AM, which felt too early and too late at the same time. My head was slightly fuzzy from the whiskey but not bad—I'd definitely had worse hangovers.I climbed down the ladder carefully, still in my pajamas, soft sleep shorts and an oversized t-shirt, and I found Miles in the kitchen area, wearing sweatpants and a thermal shirt, his hair sticking up in about fourteen directions, standing in front of the propane stove with a spatula in hand.He looked over when he heard me descend and smiled, and fuck, he was one of those people who looked good in the morning. It should have been illegal."Morning," he said ch

  • Ruin me, Stepbrother   Alcohol

    "It's... messy. We're working through it. Or we're supposed to be working through it. I don't know." I took another drink, I really need that courage only liquid can give. "But being here, away from all that, it helps. You help."It wasn't the whole truth, but it wasn't entirely a lie either.Miles was quiet for a moment, processing. Then: "Does he hurt you? Physically, I mean?""What? No. God no. It's nothing like that." I rushed to clarify, horrified that he might think—"Eww...no no no. Did I sound like that?.""Did I sound like... like that's what it is?""Not really. You didn't sound like it's one thing in particular. I was guessing.""It's not that. Not at all.""Okay. Good." He looked relieved. "I just needed to make sure. Because if someone was—""No one's hurting me, Miles. I promise.""Okay. Good." He picked up his whiskey again, swirling it in the glass. "You know, my cousin went through something similar with his stepsister. They fought constantly when they were teenagers,

  • Ruin me, Stepbrother   Whiskey

    After dinner, Miles poured us a generous measure of the whiskey that according to him, he'd stolen from his dad's collection, and we settled on the floor in front of the fireplace, with our backs against the couch, our shoulders touching, and the fire crackling and warm just a few feet away.The whiskey was smooth, expensive, and it was the kind that burned pleasantly going down and left something like a warm trail in your chest.I sipped it slowly, feeling it combine with the beer I'd had at dinner to create this pleasant buzz that made everything feel softer, easier.Outside, the darkness was complete. No streetlights, no neighboring houses, no ambient glow from the city. Just the vast, endless dark of the wilderness, broken only by the light spilling from the cabin windows. Through the glass, I could see nothing but blackness and the occasional reflection of the fire behind us."This is surreal," I said quietly. "I don't think I've ever been somewhere this remote.""It takes some g

  • Ruin me, Stepbrother   During Intimacy

    Dad and Mom were waiting at the bottom of the stairs, they were both dressed impeccably.Dad was in a tailored black tux that was crisp and clearly very exquisite and very luxuriously looking. Mom was in the same dress we snapped with few minutes ago. An elegant navy blue gown with diamonds glitter

    I reached back and found my zipper, pulling it down carefully. The dress was expensive even if it was completely ruined now.Lexi was doing the same thing, her pink mini dress coming off."God this wine is so sticky," she complained."Tell me about it."It wasn't really awkward between us, we've ch

    I finished bathing and stood in my bathroom with my towel wrapped around my waist and my hair dripping wet.The mirror was fogged from the shower, and then, I stretched my palm and wiped just a little part of it clear with the under part of my palm.I looked at the mirror and I saw myself.
