LOGINMy mother is a mission runner, and I'm the mess she left behind. When she completed her mission to win Dad over, she disappeared without hesitation and dumped the rest of the mission on me. According to the system, my task is simple. All I need is for Dad to wish me a "happy birthday" when I turn eight. Yet, my birthday is only a month away, and he won't even come home. Ever since Mom vanished without a trace, Dad started looking at me differently. No matter what I do, he assumes it's another trick she planned before she left. When I'm running a high fever, I call him, only to discover that he's at another woman's birthday party. The call connects, and before I can say a word, laughter and cheering pour through the phone. "Dad, I feel awful," I croak. "My birthday's next week…" The other end of the line went silent for a few seconds before his cold voice cuts in. "Penelope, if you need money, just ask my assistant, Henry. You know I hate it when people fake being sick to get what they want, especially when they're only after a birthday present."
View MoreI can hear them through the wall.
My stepbrother Ethan and his three friends – Jack, Marcus, and Tyler – up late on a Friday night, drinking beers they think our parents don’t know about. The walls in this house are thin. They’ve always been thin. When I was in high school, I could hear every video game explosion, every stupid joke, every late-night conversation about girls and parties and all the things teenage boys obsess over.
But tonight is different.
Tonight, they’re talking about me.
“I’m telling you, she’s gotten so fucking hot.” That’s Jack, the one with the swimmer’s build and the cocky grin. “Did you see her by the pool today? That bikini was like... fuck.”
“Bro, that’s your friend’s sister.” Marcus. He’s always been the cautious one. Football player, big shoulders, gentle eyes.
"Stepsister,” Ethan corrects. “We’re not actually related.”
“Still weird.”
“Is it though?” Tyler now. He’s the quiet one, the one who watches more than he talks. “She’s nineteen. We’re all eighteen. She’s been away at college all year. It’s not like we grew up together.”
“Exactly.” Ethan’s voice is louder now, more confident. More drunk. “And have you seen her ass? Like, actually looked at it? I live with that ass. I see it every day. In those little sleep shorts. In yoga pants. In that fucking bikini she wore today that almost gave me a heart attack.”
My heart is pounding.
I’m lying in my childhood bed, door closed, lights off, supposedly asleep. But I’m wide awake, pressed against the wall, listening to my stepbrother and his friends discuss my body like I’m a piece of meat.
I should be disgusted.
I should storm in there and tell them they’re pigs.
Instead, my hand slides under the waistband of my shorts.
“What would you do?” Jack asks. “If you could. No consequences.”
“Fuck.” Ethan laughs, low and dirty. “Where do I start? That mouth, first. She’s got those full lips, you know? I’ve thought about them wrapped around my cock so many times.”
“Same,” Tyler admits quietly. “When she eats those popsicles by the pool... I have to leave before I embarrass myself.”
My fingers find my clit. I’m already wet. Already throbbing. Listening to four boys describe what they’d do to me while I touch myself in the dark.
“I’d eat that pussy for hours,” Jack says. “Get her so wet she’s begging for it. Then flip her over and take her from behind. Watch that ass bounce while I pound her.”
“You think she’s loud?” Marcus asks. He sounds curious despite himself. “Like, a screamer?”
“God, I hope so.” Ethan again. “I want to hear her beg. Want to hear her say my name while I’m balls deep in that tight little – ”
I cum.
Silent, shaking, biting my pillow to muffle the sounds while my stepbrother and his friends talk about fucking me fifteen feet away. It’s wrong. It’s so wrong. These are boys I’ve known for years, boys who have eaten dinner at our table, boys who are practically family.
And I just came harder than I have in months imagining them doing everything they’re describing.
I lie there in the aftermath, breathing hard, listening to their conversation turn to other topics – video games, college plans, some girl Marcus is trying to date. Normal teenage boy stuff.
Eventually, I fall asleep.
Still wet. Still wanting. Still pretending I’m not imagining four cocks taking turns with my body.
***
A sound wakes me.
My door. Opening slowly. A creak of hinges I’ve heard a thousand times but never in the middle of the night, never when I’m supposed to be alone.
It’s dark. The only light is a sliver of hallway glow that disappears when the door closes again.
Click.
Someone just locked my door from the inside.
My heart hammers against my ribs. I should scream. Should sit up and demand to know who’s there. Should turn on the light and call for my parents down the hall.
Instead, I stay perfectly still.
Eyes closed. Breathing even. Pretending to be asleep.
Because I know who it is. I can smell them – beer and boys and something darker. Want, maybe. Anticipation.
The mattress dips.
Someone is sitting on my bed.
“She’s out,” a voice whispers. Tyler. “Look at her – completely gone.”
“Told you she sleeps heavy.” Ethan. My stepbrother. Standing somewhere near the foot of the bed, close enough that I can feel the weight of his gaze. “She’s been like this since we moved in. Dad used to joke that a bomb couldn’t wake her.”
“So we just...” Jack trails off. I can hear the hesitation in his voice. “I mean, is this okay? This feels kind of...”
“She’s asleep,” Ethan says. “She won’t know. We’ll be careful. Just... touch her a little. See what she feels like. We’re not gonna do anything.”
Liar. I know he’s lying. I can hear it in his voice – the hunger barely contained. The justification that sounds weak even to him.
And God help me, I want him to keep lying.
A hand touches my thigh.
Over the blanket, tentative, barely there. Testing. Waiting to see if I’ll wake up.
I don’t react.
The hand grows bolder. Slides higher. Finds the edge of the blanket and slips beneath it, seeking bare skin.
My shorts have ridden up in my sleep – I’m wearing the little cotton sleep shorts, the ones Ethan mentioned earlier, the ones that show the bottom curve of my ass when I bend over. The hand finds my bare thigh and I hear a sharp intake of breath.
“Fuck,” someone whispers. “Her skin is so soft.”
“Is she... is she wearing underwear?”
Another hand. A different angle. Sliding up my other thigh, converging in the middle.
“Yeah,” Tyler breathes. “But they’re... holy shit, they’re wet.”
“What?”
“Feel.”
A finger traces over my underwear, right over my pussy. Even through the cotton, I can feel how soaked I am – from earlier, from right now, from the knowledge that four boys are touching me in the dark while they think I’m unconscious.
“Jesus Christ.” Jack sounds reverent. “She’s fucking dripping.”
“She must have been having a dream,” Ethan says. His voice is closer now. He’s moved from the foot of the bed. “A good one.”
“What do we do?”
Whispered debate. Hushed arguments. What if she wakes up. What if she doesn’t. How far do they go. How far can they go.
“We have at least an hour before my parents wake up,” Ethan says finally. “We’re quiet, we’re careful, she never knows. Okay?”
“Okay,” three voices answer.
Okay, I think. Do it. I want you to.
Someone – I think it’s Marcus, judging by the size of the hands – carefully pulls my blanket down. The cool air hits my skin, and I have to concentrate not to shiver, not to break character, not to show any sign that I’m awake and aware and desperately, achingly ready.
“Lift her hips,” Ethan whispers.
Large hands slide under my body, raising me slightly, and I feel my shorts and underwear being worked down together. Slowly. So slowly. Inch by inch, down my thighs, over my knees, off my feet and tossed somewhere on the floor.
I’m naked from the waist down.
In my childhood bed.
With four boys staring at my pussy.
“Oh my god.” Jack’s voice is strained. “Look at her. She’s... she’s perfect.”
“Spread her legs.”
Third-person POVLarissa continued, "All she wanted was for you to wish her a happy birthday, and you told her she needed to get used to disappointment."Nathaniel, this is what you wanted, isn't it? You kept hurting our daughter because you thought it would make me come back. Well, here I am. Are you happy now?"Nathaniel shook his head frantically, crying so hard that his face was covered in tears and snot."No! I never hated Penelope! I just missed you so much! Every time I looked at her, all I could think about was how you'd abandoned me. I couldn't help getting angry."I wanted you to feel guilty. I thought if you knew how miserable we were, you'd finally come back and see us. I know I messed up, Larissa! Please, just give Penelope back to me. I'm begging you!"Larissa looked at the confident man she'd once known. Seeing him in such a miserable state hurt her, too."Penelope can't come back, Nathaniel. But there's something I can give you," said Larissa.She held out her h
Third-person POVIf Larissa hadn't accepted the mission to win Nathaniel's heart, and if she hadn't been forced to leave him so she could return to her own world, he might never have become so bitter and consumed by resentment.Instead, he'd taken all his anger toward her out on their innocent daughter.Larissa knew she couldn't put all the blame on Nathaniel. It was their complicated relationship, and the choices they'd made as adults, that had ultimately cost Penelope her childhood."Alright."She stood and wiped away her tears. "I'll do it. I owe him that much, too."…Nathaniel felt completely empty.The lights in the mansion were on, and the servants and security guards were searching through every nook and cranny.But Nathaniel already knew they wouldn't find her.The fear that had been building inside him was so overwhelming that he could barely breathe.Penelope was gone. She hadn't run away or gone into hiding. She'd left him for good, just as Larissa had five yea
Penelope's POVI watched Dad through the sphere, but seeing him suffer didn't make me feel any better.I'd thought I'd be happy when he finally regretted everything he'd done to me. Yet, watching him kneel on the floor and cry made my heart ache.I turned to Mom, who was also watching him with an expression I couldn't quite understand."Mom." I tugged at her hand. "I think Dad's really hurting."Mom sighed and crouched down to pat my head. "Well, he deserves it. He should've treated you better when he had the chance.""But…" I bit my lip and said quietly, "Dad used to be really nice to me. He'd pick me up and lift me really high. Sometimes, he'd even sneak me out for ice cream and make me promise not to tell you."I know he got mean later and stopped paying attention to me. But looking at him now, I think he's back to being the dad he used to be."I guess children really do find it easy to forgive people.Only a few days ago, I'd sworn that I'd never speak to Dad again. I
Penelope's POVMy eyelids felt heavy, and I could tell that someone was holding me. Their arms felt soft and warm, nothing like Dad's firm chest.I was confused for a moment, but when I looked up, I immediately recognized the face in front of me.I'd seen it countless times in the photo album. But those were just pictures, and now Mom was right here, holding me.Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked as though she was about to burst into tears."Penelope."Even her voice trembled when she said my name.At that moment, all the hurt I'd been suppressing finally came pouring out. I burst into tears and threw myself against her, pounding my little fists against her."You're a bad mom! You're so mean! You left me with that scary man! I don't want to do this mission anymore! I really don't! Why did you leave me, Mom? Dad's so mean to me, and that lady's mean, too!"I kept crying as I hit her shoulders with my fists."Dad tore your dress. And he let that lady move into our
