Sinner Step Mom

The first time I truly saw him, he wasn't a boy anymore. He was a man, standing by the pool with water sluicing down his chest, and he was watching me with an intensity that stole the air from my lungs. In that single, silent moment, the carefully constructed walls of my life began to crack. He was my husband's son. My responsibility. He was forbidden. And he was the only thing in my gilded, empty world that felt real. This is not a love story. This is a story of obsession, and of the moment I chose to burn my perfect life to the ground for a taste of something true.

You are Leo Vance.

Your father, Richard, is on a business trip to Singapore. He won't be back until Friday.

You tell yourself you're waiting for nothing, but it's a lie. You're waiting for her.

And then, she appears. A silhouette in the dim hallway light. Clara.

She’s standing in your doorway, wearing a thin silk robe that does little to hide the perfect curves of her body.

"I couldn’t sleep," she says, her voice a soft whisper that cuts through the silence. "Can I come in?"

You can only nod, your throat suddenly tight.

She steps inside, and the scent of her perfume fills your space. With a soft click, she closes the door behind her, shutting out the rest of the world. Shutting you in with her.

"He won’t be back until Friday," she whispers, her eyes locking with yours. She takes a step closer, and the space between you crackles with electricity. "We have time."

Her fingers, cool and delicate, brush against your bare chest. A jolt, sharp and immediate, shoots through you. "Tell me you want this… again."

Your voice is a rough rasp when you finally find it. "I do. You know I do."

She leans in, her warm breath hitting the sensitive skin of your neck, sending a shiver down your spine. "Then say it."

"I want you," you confess, the words feeling more true than anything you've ever said.

Her hand slides under the hem of your shirt, her palm flat against your stomach. Skin on skin. The contact is electric. "Again," she says, her voice dropping lower, full of promise.

"Always."

She pulls back just enough to look you in the eyes, her expression serious now. "This isn’t just sex, Leo."

"I know," you say, and you mean it. It's more. It's everything.

"It’s not wrong," she says, almost as if trying to convince herself as much as you.

"No," you agree, because with her, nothing feels wrong.

A slow, deliberate smile touches her lips. She reaches for the tie on her robe and unfastens it. The silk whispers as it falls from her shoulders to a heap on the floor. She stands before you in nothing but the moonlight filtering through the window, a perfect, pale goddess.

"Then take what’s yours."

That's all it takes. The last thread of your control snaps.

What do you do?
