MY TABOO STEP DADDY
I crouch, hands raking through Ferrari's body, shuffling through his hair, boots, inside his jacket.
My fingers graze something thin and firm, always there. A picture of him and Amanda years back, when he still had a spine.
I leave it there and squeeze his shoulder blades. My movements are slow yet hard.
Ferrari winces, but doesn't tell me to stop. My brother is all bone and stone because of—Fuck!
“You have five minutes to free her.” Ferrari bumps his head to mine. I inhale his breath, the steamy scent of black coffee. And something else. RAGE. “Else, I'll open fire. And… And… you'll die, Brother.”
