Dirty Christmas
The Christmas lights twinkled through the frosted window of my apartment, casting a warm glow over the living room. I'd just finished wrapping presents for my family get-together tomorrow, but the chill in the air made me pull my robe tighter.
A soft knock echoed from the door, unexpected this late. I glanced at the clock, midnight on Christmas Eve. Who the hell?
"Who's there?" I called, my voice steady despite the flutter in my stomach.
I'd felt watched lately, shadows lingering outside my window, notes slipped under my door. It thrilled me in a twisted way, especially since the fantasies that plagued my nights starred someone forbidden: my stepbrother, Alex.
