MIGUEL

Paul’s hands slid to my shoulders, his eyes searching mine. I was holding my breath, trying not to flip, but it wasn’t working. My thoughts were a jumbled mess of a plan that I knew could cause disaster.

Had Paul always been this handsome?

Or… was it the alcohol?

He snaked his tongue out, wetting his lip, adding shine to them. Okay, he was handsome. And maybe…

“Are you fine?” he asked, his voice low, soft with worry. Our gazes locked and held there, seconds stretching into more heavy silence. My chest tightened.

His face was close, his breath brushing my skin. My mind spun around as I thought about how crazy it would be to use Paul to push Salvatore away from my thoughts.

Maybe I was this way because I’d refused to allow myself some physical intimacy. Paul could help me forget Salvatore.

His eyes dug into mine with a fierceness that made me more worried than scared about what I was able to do.

“Paul,” I said softly, barely above a whisper.

“Yeah?” he muttered, his voice rou

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   Don't push him too far

    SALVATOREI stood in the warehouse, flipping through a stack of papers, my eyes scanning numbers that didn’t add up. I hated this, but John had insisted that I come here. I wasn’t in the right state of mind, and I didn’t need this stress.John was hunched over a table nearby, receipts spread out, his pen scratching quickly on some papers as he made calculations. The guy running this place, Eddie, stood in front of me with his arms crossed tight, his face pale. His eyes were wide like he thought I’d snap his neck. Maybe I would. I hated incomplete figures and messed-up calculations because they hinted at stealing.Sincerely, I wanted this to be a case of stealing. I would finally have a place to push all these pent-up emotions into. But even as I worked, I couldn’t focus my attention on the figures. There was a reason Miguel was doing everything he could to fight me, and sincerely, it was infuriating. I couldn’t think of one reason why he didn’t see me as a good fit for him. My profe

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   Finally lost it

    MIGUELSleeping in the park was comfortable. Not more comfortable than a worn bed and a roof barely holding together, but at least, I was at peace.But then it wasn’t safe. Twice, I was approached by idiots who wanted nothing but my body, and twice I had to use my knife. Well, I’d survived the night. Another day to make bad decisions and get more depressed.The morning sun was warm on my face as I sat up, grass sticking to my body. I grabbed my bag, stood, and stretched. Maybe I could come here to pass the night again today. Just maybe. I would be discreet because the last thing I wanted was for Salvatore to discover this location. Paul’s place was already out of the options.As I dusted off my jeans, a feeling crept up my spine like someone was watching me. I glanced to the side.A man sat on a bench, reading a newspaper. It seemed like he was pretending to.His eyes flicked up just for a second then went back to the page. He was older, maybe mid-forties, dressed neatly in dark slac

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   Stunned

    SALVATOREI sat at the bar with a glass of whiskey sweating in front of me. The ice was melting slowly, just like everything else inside me. Marco, my contact, sat across from me. He was a wiry guy with a scar on his cheek, always looking like he hadn’t slept in years. He slid a folder my way.“Routes are clean,” he said, tapping the papers. “The product moves across the border with no hassle.”“Show me.” I flipped it open. My eyes hit the map, but my brain wasn’t registering anything. My phone was silent on the table and it was driving me crazy.With Paul’s car trailing behind me the previous night, I’d driven around the city, going around in circles. No Miguel. No signs of him. By midnight, I sat in one of my warehouses waiting for a call from John telling me that Miguel was probably out cold somewhere, or that Miguel had arrived home. But nothing came.I even had an argument with Paul when I parked by the sidewalk and started searching the alleys. The bastard was hot on my heels,

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   His choice

    MIGUELI pulled on a black shirt, fitted jeans, and my jacket with shaky hands. The sunlight outside poured through the windows, painting the apartment in soft amber light. It should have been calming, but nothing about today felt calm. My chest was tight. My thoughts were loud. I felt like I was standing on the edge of something dangerous and beautiful, and for once, I wasn’t backing away.Emily was curled up on the couch, scrolling through her phone when I went down. The glow from the screen lit up her face, but I could feel her eyes flick up the moment I moved toward the door.“Where are you going?” she asked, her voice sharp. “Going to find another job since you can’t keep yourself in a place for more than one week?”I hesitated for a second, but I didn’t look at her. I didn’t owe her an answer right now.The door shut behind me harder than I meant it to. Outside, the sun was less hotter than I imagined it to be. Every step I took towards the hotel felt heavier than the last.I h

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   I want you

    Okay. More like flipped.Salvatore’s eyes burned into me like fire. The weight of his stare was suffocating, thick with want and promise. A dangerous, unrelenting promise. His jaw tightened, sharp under the soft lighting, and he dragged those eyes all over me slowly as if memorizing every inch. There was no mistaking it. That look said one thing: he intended to wreck me. And when he was done, I wouldn’t be able to stand, let alone think.And, fuck, I wanted that.I didn’t look away. I met him head-on, my lips warm, stretched around him, my tongue moving with purpose. I let it glide over the tip of his cock in one slow, calculated stroke, my eyes still locked on his. He inhaled sharply, his entire body jerking with the force of it.“Fuck,” he hissed, his voice rough like gravel, deep in his chest. His hands twitched at his sides, his fingers curling like he was fighting the urge to grab me. “Do that again.”So I did. Slower this time. I dragged my tongue over him with aching precisio

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   A green flag?

    Miguel, I want to fuck you," he growled.If only he knew how badly I wanted this. His lips were on mine again, pressing firmly yet tenderly. His breath was warm against my skin as he kissed me hungrily like he had been starving for this. Just like I was. I moaned into his mouth, my fingers digging into his shoulders for balance, the echo of my earlier scream still trembling through my body.He slowly pulled away then lowered himself again, his mouth trailing heat down my skin until he found my hole—again. His tongue touched me gently at first like he was teasing me, then it grew more deliberate, swirling in slow, steady circles. I gasped as the sensation tore through me like lightning. My muscles tightened, instinctively lifting me into his mouth.“Sal,” I breathed, my voice shaky, my fingers sinking into his hair. “That’s too much…”He glanced up at me through his lashes, smirking devilishly. Slowly, he crawled back up my body, letting his chest brush mine as he kissed me again, le

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   He's mine

    SALVATOREI blinked, staring at him, unsure if I was supposed to laugh or feel like I was punched in the gut. Was he being sarcastic? Was that what he really thought this was about? Did he really think that I was just after his body, that this was just a quick fuck in exchange for a cheque? The realization crashed into me like cold water. I’d been so caught up in the heat and want of him that I hadn’t stopped to consider how it might have looked to him. I sat up slowly, the sheets slipping down to my waist, exposing the parts of me I didn’t mind him seeing. But now, it wasn’t about that.“Miguel.” My voice was low, rough with the weight of everything I hadn’t said right. “This isn’t just about that. I’m not here for some deal.”He sat up too, his arms crossing over his chest like armour. His eyes were narrowed in confusion.“It did not look that way from the start,” he said, sharply. “You swoop in, clear debts, throw money around like it’s nothing. What else am I supposed to think,

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   It's dangerous

    MIGUELI knocked softly, my knuckles brushing the wood like a whisper as my heart thudded hard in my chest. The silence on the other side was suffocating. I’d made lots of mistakes in less than a week, and I needed to start fixing them.Was this thing with Salvatore a mistake? I couldn’t tell, but for now, I would see where this led. I knocked again, gentler this time, almost like I was hoping he wouldn’t answer. My stomach twisted itself into a knot. Maybe he wasn’t home. Maybe I would get lucky.If he didn’t answer, I would take it as a sign that the universe didn’t want me to make this apology.I was already thinking of leaving when the door creaked open.Paul stood there, blinking in surprise at me. A towel hung low around his waist, and drops of water clung to his chest.Oh.“Sorry, I was in the bathroom.”He moved aside and I stepped inside. The air was warm and thick with the clean scent of soap. I kept my eyes trained on his face, forcing myself not to notice anything else.

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   Taken in public

    SALVATOREI stood behind Miguel, my body pressed flush against his, his heat seeping straight into my cock.He was still speaking to John, handing papers across the table with a voice that was steady despite the tension vibrating in him. My eyes flicked across the warehouse again. The workers were scattered and their attention was locked on their tasks. None of them even glanced our way.Perfect. I grinned mischievously.The low hum of activity drowned out the quiet sounds of my belt slipping through the loops.Miguel cleared his throat. His voice was tighter now, his elbow nudging me in a silent warning. He was trying to push me back without drawing attention, but I stayed where I was, unmoved. The desire was a live current between us. John didn’t seem to notice a thing. His eyes remained on the receipts, his fingers flipping through the sheets Miguel handed over like nothing was amiss. Meanwhile, I pressed closer, allowing the table to hide the subtle grind of my hips.I leaned in

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   Who's he?

    SALVATOREI blinked at Miguel, confused for a second.I knew something was off. He’d been quiet the entire ride, and his mood was sour even before we even left the house, but he hadn’t said a word about it.So I thought it was Emily weighing on him. I thought the heaviness in his chest belonged to her.But then he had suddenly snapped.“What the fuck is that?” he demanded, his finger stabbing toward the warehouse entrance where Karl had just disappeared with my coat. The fire in his eyes startled me. He had the kind of anger that was spontaneous and confusing. My heart jumped, my brow furrowing as I turned to him.“What’s wrong?” I asked, my voice low but laced with concern. I stepped in closer, lifting my hands, instinct pushing me to touch him, but he swatted my hand away.His movements were sharp, his glare like a strike. He pointed again, the fury in him shaking loose. “When did you two get so damn close?” he bit out. “Why was he grinning at you like a sheep in heat, Sal? What th

    MIGUELShe should have just died in that accident. It would have been better for everyone if she did.I stood by the window of my room with my arms folded tightly across my chest as I stared into the deepening twilight. The sky outside had bled into a bruised purple, shadows stretching long across the neighbourhood rooftops, but I hardly noticed any of it. My focus was locked inward on the boiling resentment twisting through me like smoke. From downstairs, Emily’s cries pierced the stillness reminding me of the storm that had moved back into this house.She was back. The bitch.Her return felt like a noose tightening around my throat. She was already taking up too much space, her voice dragging down every breath I tried to take. Every moan, every whimper from the living room tore at the fragile peace I’d been clinging to since Salvatore entered my life. She was shattering everything, as usual.Emily had always made things worse. Her brand of love had always come with strings, with

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   Jealous or suspicious?

    MIGUEL“Salvatore?”The evening light dyed the room in deep ember, glowing on the walls like a slow‑burning fire. I stretched under the sheets and called again, “Salvatore?”Every inch of my body stung with fatigue and satisfaction. Memories surfaced in small, delicious flashes. I could still feel Salvatore’s mouth on my skin and hear his gravel‑rough whisper of my name.I was about to call his name again when I saw it: a single sheet of thick ivory paper perched on the nightstand. I reached for it, squinting my brows, though I already knew who had left it.‘Gone to the warehouse to make sure things are in order. Be back soon.’Just seeing his pen strokes made me excited. It was like he was still here with his hand curved at my waist. I traced one dark slash of ink with my thumb, then grabbed my phone.“Hey, baby,” Salvatore answered after a single ring. His voice filled the quiet like velvet over stone. “You’re up.”“I woke up to you missing,” I admitted, shifting so the covers po

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   An obsession

    SALVATORETight heat enveloped me as I pressed into him, the sensation flooding every nerve with fire. I grunted into his mouth. The feeling was almost too much.His hole gripped my cock with a perfect blend of heat and pressure that made my breath hitch and my thoughts blur. Miguel let out a sound of his own, deep and broken, as his nails dragged across my back and shoulders, carving lines of raw need into my skin. I trembled as I sank deeper, my hands gripping his hips like I was afraid he’d vanish if I let go. His legs locked around my waist, pulling me even closer until there was no space left between us. Our chests collided, slick with sweat, and our breath mingled in the heavy quiet of the room.“Salvatore…”I kissed him harder, desperate to taste every inch of him. And I did.I didn’t rush. I took my time, letting each movement speak for me, making every thrust deliberate. Miguel matched me without hesitation. His hips lifted to meet mine, our rhythm syncing with a kind of f

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   He was there for me when I needed him

    MIGUELI stormed into my room and walked over to my window, where I stood, with my arms folded tightly across my chest and my jaw locked as I stared down at the street below. My thoughts were a mess, circling the same memory on repeat: Paul’s face, the sharp crack of Salvatore’s fist, and the way I had to step in before it got worse. The anger was still fresh, crawling under my skin, making my body feel like a live wire.I couldn’t tell exactly why I was pissed, but one thing was sure, I wasn’t happy with what Salvatore did. I heard Salvatore come in but didn’t look away from the window. The quiet brush of his footsteps on the floor moved closer, then I felt the sudden warmth of his arms slide around me from behind. His chest pressed gently against my back, his breath soft when it touched the side of my neck. I couldn’t take comfort in it. I pulled away and shrugged off his arms without a word. He didn’t push. His hands fell to his sides, his voice turning softly. “I’m sorry,” he

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   Leave

    MIGUELIt was annoying watching her being clingy to my man. Yes, you heard that right. He's mine. I had to stand back when the doctor stepped in, causing her to let go of Salvatore.“She is lucky her lungs weren’t punctured,” the doctor was saying, his voice touched with relief as he adjusted his glasses. He stood at the foot of her hospital bed with a clipboard in hand, his gaze flicking between her monitors and Salvatore’s bulky frame.The cause of the accident was annoying. It was clear from Salvatore’s expression that he didn’t want to be here, but, well, he was the one that was called. Salvatore turned to her, his arms crossed tightly, his jaw clenched. “Why would you get in a car with your friends when you were all drunk?” His eyes narrowed.Emily shrank back against the pillows, her face pale and blotchy from tears. Her fingers clutched at the blanket, twisting it between them as she mumbled something I couldn’t hear. Her voice was soft and cracked.She should have just died.

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   She comes knocking

    SALVATOREMorning light filtered through the office window, soft and golden, slipping across the sheets in slow-moving bands. I was still wrapped around Miguel, my chest pressed to his back, my arm resting over his waist. His skin was warm beneath my palm, golden from the sun and slightly damp from sleep. I leaned in and brushed my lips against his bare shoulder, tasting the remnants of last night’s closeness. My hand drifted across the smooth line of his stomach, memorizing every dip and ridge.His hair was messy, curling slightly at the ends, and it smelled sweet, like rest and shampoo, like something I never wanted to stop breathing in. The scent of him clung to me and the sheets, and it made something soft unfold in my chest. This didn’t feel real. The feeling of him close to me, and how easy it had been, finally, to hold him like this. After everything. After all the blood and fire and doubt. Now he was here, asleep in my arms, peaceful in a way I’d never seen.I smiled witho

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   Lust or love

    MIGUEL“I told you I’m fine,” I grumbled, but the words were weak even to my ears as Salvatore tore open the drawer.He wasn’t listening to me, and I didn’t blame him. The fear I’d seen in his eyes in that warehouse was real. He grabbed antiseptic, bandages, ointments, and every other thing he needed to treat my cut. His jaw was clenched, his shoulders rigid. We were finally back at the warehouse, and the men were celebrating their victory, but the bustle outside was barely audible through the thick walls.My name was on the lips of the men. They were surprised that I did that. Hell, someone even said he was surprised I’d been able to hold a gun properly. What a joke.He placed the supplies on the desk and turned toward me, the muscle in his jaw twitching. “Sit,” he said. It was a command.I opened my mouth to argue, but his hand was already on my arm, guiding me toward the bed. His touch was gentle, almost reverent, but I could feel his barely restrained fear.“I don’t care what yo
