My Step Father, My Desire
Her scent drifts up, coconut shampoo, a hint of body cream, and something softer that’s just her.
My hands act without my permission.
I pull the top drawer open, pens, sticky notes, lip balm, and a pack of mints.
Nothing important.
Second drawer, notepads, a charging cable, a tiny mirror, and a few hair ties.
Third drawer.
I pull it open slowly.
Red lace panties.
Bright, bold red.
Thin straps.
My heart slams hard against my ribs.
Heat floods low in my stomach so fast I almost groan.
I know I should close the drawer. And walk away.
