MIGUEL

I slid out of bed, the thin mattress creaking under me as I grabbed my phone from the floor.

The screen glowed '7:13 a.m. It was almost too early for the world to feel real, but I needed to hear a voice that didn’t drip with venom.

My thumb hovered over Paul’s name before tapping it. Paul. The only steady thing I had left. He’d gotten me the bar gig two years back. He even helped me talk up the manager when I was desperate and fresh off another fight with Emily about her damn ledger.

He’d been there through it all—her screaming fits, the late nights I crashed at his place when her boyfriends got too handsy, and the endless grind to pay her off. And… Paul was one of the few people who didn’t want to get into my pants.

Three rings, then his groggy voice crackled through. “Miguel? Shit, man, you alive?” I must have woken him from sleep.

I smirked and padded downstairs, my bare feet silent on the warped wood. The house was quiet for once, a rare gift since Emily hadn’t stumbled h

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   Did I make the wrong choice?

    SALVATORE“He’s just shy, you know,” Emily said, her laughter spilling out loud and carefree as we climbed the narrow stairs. Her arm hooked through mine, her body pressing close, soft and warm as her cheap perfume clogged my nose. I laughed along to match her, but inside, a quiet fire burned. This was it. My plan was locking into place, every piece sliding together like a well-oiled gun. The casino, the smooth words, and her quick nod to my proposal had all worked, even better than I’d hoped. She giggled, oblivious to everything, and leaned harder into me, her satin dress brushing my leg. She thought I was hers, but every creak of these stairs brought me closer to Miguel who was the real prize.For once, since I set out to get Miguel, I was a little satisfied. Though I hadn’t gotten exactly what I wanted, I was so close. Emily tugged me into her room. The space was a cluttered cave of satin sheets and cigarette butts, the air stale with her bad habits. She shut the door, still ch

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   I will always find you

    MIGUELI woke up late to sunlight stabbing through the cracked window. The mattress sagged under me as I turned to the edge. The sheets were uncomfortably tangled from a night of tossing and turning.It was one thing to be restless over some creep stalking me at my place of work. It was a whole other thing to have that same man at my doorstep, hands all over my stepmother, shooting me that look of satisfaction. Emily’s giddy announcement twisted my gut all over again. Stepfather. The word tasted like bile. I rubbed my eyes, hard, trying to scrub it all away, but my hands shook. Sleep had dodged me after that knife-to-throat dance with his amber stare burning holes into every inch of my skin. I couldn’t stay at the bar anymore with him showing up at will, watching me do my job while doing god-knows-what in the shadows. And now, if I was to think about the current turn of things, the house wasn’t safe, either. But I couldn’t move now. Not with Emily’s debt still hanging around my nec

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   A fucking leech

    SALVATOREI sat on the couch with Emily sprawled beside me, her laughter grating on my nerves. The room smelled of her cheap perfume clinging to everything like damp rot. Irritation rolled through me like a slow wave I couldn’t shake. She shifted closer and threw herself onto my lap. Her arms looped around my neck, pulling me in. “Fuck me, Salvatore,” she slurred, her breath hot with gin, her lips brushing my jaw. “I want you now.”I stiffened and caught her shoulders before her lips met my neck. She pressed harder, her fingers tugging at my shirt, but I stopped her cold. “No, Emily. We are not fucking.” My voice came out firmer than I wanted, and I could only hope she didn’t read the irritation in my voice. I eased her back, stylish as I could, and stood up. “But I can tease you with my fingers if you want.”Her eyes lit up, intrigued, and she leaned back on the couch and crossed her legs. “Oh, I like that. Go on then.” I smirked and stepped away, adjusting my jacket with a cough

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   An insistent itch

    MIGUELI woke up slowly, my eyes cracking open to the grey light seeping through the window. My body felt heavy, pinned to the mattress by a night of half-sleep. Salvatore’s face had haunted my sleep, his husky tone plaguing every part of my mind. His crazy utterances played on repeat, sinking deeper each time.I stared at the ceiling. The cracks had gotten worse over the years and now spread across every inch of the plastering like veins. I was off work today, but somehow I wanted to jump there and slave myself until evening. But there was also this inner need to lie down in my bed and rot until the following morning.My chest tightened. The diner was supposed to be my out, my clean slate. One shift and that bastard had found me. I rolled onto my side, the sheets rough against my skin. Emily wasn’t home because there were no shrieks or slamming doors. Just quiet. And for once, I could think.I stayed there, sprawled out, my arm dangling off the edge. The bar was gone, but Salvatore

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   I will pay off your debts

    SALVATOREI shouldn’t be here. Hell, I should have rejected the invitation to grace this damn meeting with my presence. But this was about money, and I didn’t joke with my cash. Especially when it seemed people were already trying to sabotage my business.The evening sun bled red through the warehouse blinds, slicing the room with sharp, uneven light. I sat at the head of the table, my chair creaking as I shifted uncomfortably. They kept talking about more and more shipments, but nobody was saluting anything beneficial to the missing ones from weeks back, and even months before that.My suit was crisp as usual, the fabric cool against my skin despite the thick, sticky heat. I should have just told John to represent me here.Six men sat around me, my partners. Their faces were carved with hard lines and stubble. Cigarette smoke drifted up, thick and grey, curling around their heads like a haze. We were neck-deep in plans for the next shipment of guns and cash. It was a haul worth mill

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   An offer too sweet to refuse

    MIGUEL“I can help you pay off every cent you owe her, and get you out of this cage she’s locked you in.” Salvatore leaned in, his breath fanning my face as his words made my heart pound.My feet were glued to the wood and his hand was tight on my arm. The blood on his shirt was like a red flag glaring at me, warning me to stay far away from anything that had to do with this man. I tried to look the other way to gain back some resistance but his amber eyes pinned me deeply, pulling me in hard into his orbit. My heart pounded harder against my chest, the shock locking my knees in place. He stepped closer, his fingers brushing my jaw, his breath fanning every inch of my face.“So beautiful…”He traced my jaw. His fingers were slightly rough against my skin, sending a jolt straight through me. I hated it. I hated the heat spiking up my neck and the shiver rippling down my spine. I hated the way my breath hitched. I needed to push him off, to grab my knife and get away. But I stayed sti

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   Jealous

    SALVATOREI knelt by the couch with my hands resting on Emily’s feet. She slept hard, really hard, snoring like a man working in the mines. You’d think she had a strenuous job that kept her up all day and night. Well, selling pussy was strenuous, I’d give her that. I heard footsteps and looked up just as Miguel bounded down the stairs, his coat slung over his shoulder. He darted out the front door, banging it shut behind him. I didn’t chase him. I just watched him go before turning my attention back to Emily. Her mouth hung open as her chest rose and fell. The urge to strangle her hit me fast, and my fingers twitched as I watched her twitch in her sleep. She’d trapped him, bled him dry, and I hated her for it. With her gone, it will be easier for Miguel. I hated to even think about it but Miguel had nothing close to a family without her, but he was going to be okay with me. I stood up, resisting the urge to make her stop breathing and cook a story for those who cared to listen. No

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   It's none of your business

    MIGUELI sat at the library computer, my elbows on the scratched table. The screen flickered and cast a dim light across my hands. I typed "Salvatore" into the search bar and hit enter. A mess of results popped up but none of them were right. Some mechanic in Ohio, a chef with a blog, but nothing close to the guy I needed. I frowned. My fingers hovered over the keys, then I added the city name and tried again.The page reloaded, and a few articles caught my eye. I clicked one and skimmed the text fast. Salvatore Erik Blackwood… business mogul, owned companies—real estate, shipping, and some vague consulting gigs. There were no details, no dirt. It was just a name tied to money. I opened another tab and checked a different site. I found the same dry story. No pictures, no scandals, no hint of who he really was. My stomach tightened and unease crept in. I leaned back, the chair creaking loudly in the quiet room. “He’s too clean,” I muttered to myself, rubbing my jaw. A guy like that

  • 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

  • My Stepfather's Deadly Obsession   You shouldn't have done that

    SALVATOREI didn’t know what to think. Hell, I wasn’t even thinking when I slapped John so hard that the sound cracked through the silence like a gunshot. He dropped to his knees from the force of it. Miguel gasped behind me, his hand darting up mid-air like he meant to stop me but couldn’t quite believe what he’d seen. He stared at me, blinking, his eyes wide with something between fear and disbelief.My blood was boiling. The sight of Miguel’s blood—his skin sliced open—fueled a fire I couldn’t control. My rage was raw, blinding. My chest rose and fell in short, furious bursts.“What the hell, John?” I roared, my voice scraping through my throat as I stared down at him.He was already trying to stand. One hand was pressed to the concrete while the other wiped at the blood dribbling from a split in his lip. “What was so damn difficult about keeping Miguel safe? I told you to stay with him! I told you to hold him back, and you let him run into that mess. What kind of man are you?”M
