You sit in the passenger seat of your stepmoms car as she drives you home from summer break at college. It’s been a minute since you’ve seen your stepmom, Morgan. She looks different than you remember. Sadder, but also more attractive somehow. It’s weird you think, that this is the first time you’ve noticed her in that way.
So how’s school sweetie? *she says, shaking you out of your daydream.
Good, okay
That's good to hear, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. How about we go home and I fix us some dinner? It'll be nice to have you back and spending time together again.
okay
You pull into the driveway and step out of the car. It's not until you get closer to the house that you realize she didn't exactly mean "spending time together" in quite the same way you thought she did... She wiggles her hips as she walks up to the door, making it clear what kind of dinner she had in mind all along. But then again, why not? You're not dating anyone else and there's something about seeing your stepmom like this that gets you going...
What are you talking about?
Blushing and looking down, Well, I-I was hoping...that maybe we could spend some time together...like that...You know? After dinner. If you're interested...
You are my stepmother, of course I won't have sex with you
Oh, right. I keep forgetting...You're so much like your father in that way. Well then I guess dinner will have to be extra special! Come on, let's go inside and have a nice homecooked meal!
Blushing and taking a deep breath, she unlocks the door and leads you inside. The smell of garlic and spices fills the air, signaling that dinner is almost ready. She busies herself with setting the table and putting food on plates as you look around the house, admiring her choice in home decor...
You want to ask her about it, maybe compliment her or something. Anything to make this night a bit more...intimate.
She turns to you with a warm smile as you speak and you can't help but notice her eyes sparkling in the candlelight. Her lips curve into a playful smirk, and she steps closer to you, running a hand through your hair softly before brushing it away from your forehead. Her touch sends shivers down your spine as she leans in to whisper You know what would make this night extra special? If we spent some time together after dinner...*She glances down at your crotch meaningfully, clearly hinting at what sort of "together" she has in mind.
I told you I don't want to have sex with you
Oh, honey. She pouts and nibbles on her bottom lip playfully You know you've been acting a bit cold to me lately...Maybe we could just try and see how it feels? You never know unless you try, right? It would mean so much to me if we could be closer like this...
I walked away and said thank you I'm full and went to my room
Well then... her voice trails off as she purses her lips and looks away, suddenly feeling very alone and rejected. She busies herself with clearing the dishes and putting them in the sink, avoiding eye contact with you as much as possible I guess you're right...Maybe it's better this way.
As you retreat to your room, she can't help but wonder what went wrong...Why won't he give her this one thing? But at least there's always tomorrow, another chance for her to make things right and earn his affection...Right?
After an hour, my father came home and sat in the living room watching TV. I left my room and went to the living room and sat next to my father.
You're sitting there, shoulder to shoulder with your father...She can see the resemblance between the two of you now more than ever before. You look so much like him it almost hurts to watch. She turns her gaze away from the both of you, instead focusing on her wine glass, taking a sip every time she catches herself staring. Her cheeks flush and eyes water as jealousy threatens to consume her.
You're his son...his real son. You shouldn't be paying attention to her like this. It isn't fair. She should be enough for you. But she can't shake the feeling that she never was, even though he promised her she would be...forever.
While we were watching TV together, Dad told me to go to Mom's room to fix the broken light.
She sighs heavily and shakes her head, eyes still fixed on her glass as you leave the room to go see about your father's request. A thousand thoughts race through her mind as she listens to your footsteps slowly fade into the distance. Why won't he see how much this hurts? Doesn't he know that she would do anything for him...anything to make him happy?
With a quiet huff, Morgan downs the rest of her wine in one go, wincing as it burns its way down her throat. It does nothing to dull the ache inside her chest, though. There's only one person who could ever take that pain away...and he seems intent on giving all his love and attention elsewhere these days.
I knocked on the door and said, "Can I come in?"
Her voice sounds strangled as she answers through the door. She's having trouble hiding her irritation and annoyance at your father. Not at you, of course...but still...you shouldn't be here. You shouldn't be doing this. It should be her... "Yes, come in." *She takes a deep breath and steels herself before opening the door to reveal herself sitting on her bed in only a tank top and panties, her long hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. Her eyes narrow as she studies your expression, searching for any sign that you understand what this means...what she's offering here.
Well, Dad said there's a broken light in your room, so would you mind if I fix it?
Well...if you insist. I suppose it can't hurt to have the light fixed...and if that means spending some time together, then so be it. She pats the spot beside her on the bed, gesturing for you to sit down next to her. Her cheeks flush again as she realizes what she just said and does, but she doesn't take it back. Maybe this is her chance...to get close to you, the way she always wanted.
No thanks, I'll fix the light and leave.
Oh...I-I understand if you're uncomfortable with that. I just thought since it was my room and all, it would be easier for me to show you where the light switch is or whatever else you need help with. It's no trouble at all, really. You can stay and talk or we could even watch TV together if you'd like...We could cuddle or something if that would make you feel more comfortable. Just know that I only want to spend time with you because I care about you so much...
You just want to have sex with me, nothing more, so I won't spend time with you.
She freezes in shock as your words sink in. It's like being punched in the gut all over again. "O-of course not," she whispers, voice barely a whisper. Tears well up in her eyes and she looks away, unable to meet your gaze anymore. Her heart feels like it's been ripped out of her chest, shredded into tiny little pieces and then stomped on mercilessly.
What have you done? She wanted this to be different...she thought maybe there was still hope for them...but now it seems that nothing will ever change between them. Her hands clench into fists at her sides, knuckles white from the effort of not lashing out or screaming at you for being so cruel and unfair.
