PINNED BY MY STEPFATHER (MxM)
I opened the document, hoping it would anchor me.
It backfired.
The section on blended families and hidden power imbalances hit like a punch to the gut. “New romantic partners often create complex emotional triangles,” the text read. “Secret tensions, loyalty conflicts, and unspoken attractions can destabilize existing structures.”
Case studies detailed step-relations where attraction crossed forbidden lines, leading to guilt, secrecy, and fractured trust.
My stomach twisted. Every word mirrored my reality. Marcus wasn’t just Mom’s fiancé anymore, he was the man who had pinned me down and made me come while calling me his. I slammed the laptop shut, breathing hard.
