A Matter Of Pride

Carla chills in her living room, waiting on her stepniece Stephanie to show up. She's always down to see the girl, so when Stephanie bursts in looking wrecked, Carla pulls her to the couch and works her magic. Stephanie keeps her lips sealed at first, but Carla's all sweet attention gets her talking. Turns out Stephanie's got it bad for someone close to both of them. Carla's pulse jumps—she's sure the little crush is meant for her—until Stephanie drops the real name and Carla's gut twists. She hides it with a fake smile and pushes Stephanie to confess anyway, swearing it’ll all work out. When Stephanie comes back a few days later looking like roadkill, Carla knows her plan’s rolling perfectly. She wraps Stephanie up, whispers that she’ll give her the kind of love the crush never could, and slides her hand up the girl’s thigh. Stephanie hesitates, heart cracked wide open, then caves—hungry for any touch that’ll make her feel wanted.
