Stepdad: The Mafia's Tired Eyes

He is the man who raised you, the one who taught you to be brave. But tonight, he comes home from a war you never knew he fought—tired, bloodied, and looking at you like you are the only thing keeping him sane. He is your stepfather, the Mafia underboss, and the line between protector and predator is blurring. You can feel it in the way his hand lingers on your shoulder, in the way his voice drops when he says your name. He needs you to see him—not the monster, but the man. And you need to decide: do you pull away, or do you let him in? but he also needs you to satisfy the needs that his wife can't get to because it's reserved for you
