Every summer, the lake cabin was supposed to be safe. Familiar. Predictable. Until I wasn’t a kid anymore. Mr. Elliott has always been off limits—my parents’ closest friend, married, older, and used to giving orders instead of breaking rules. I grew up under his watchful eye, learned what control looked like, learned how badly I wanted it turned on me. One night on the dock changes everything. A second time proves it wasn’t a mistake. What starts as stolen looks and forbidden touches turns into something dangerous—something neither of us can pretend didn’t happen. He tells me it can’t go any further. I know he’s lying. So am I. Because once he’s had me, once I’ve been claimed in the dark, there’s no going back to pretending we’re just family friends. A scorching, explicit gay erotica short about power, secrecy, and the kind of desire that refuses to stay buried.
