Leather chair creaks under her weight as ash-blonde stepdaughter lounges back, sequin dress riding up thick thighs marked with a stark heart outline, smoke curling lazy from full lips parted in half-lidded haze. Fingers trail the fabrics shimmer against pale skin, exhale rasping soft in the cluttered rooms glow — desk scattered, curtains heavy with faded roses. She shifts, knee bending high, dress straining over hips, eyes heavy like shes drifting into something thicker than tobacco fog, breath hitching faint.
