Job Lost, Lust Found

Summer slumps on the couch like she’s been punched. Her stepmom, Bunny Madison, catches the mood the second she passes the doorway. Work hours. No uniform. Something’s off. Summer tells her straight: fired. Bunny stops cold, asks the obvious. Summer’s face burns. The words won’t come. Bunny waits, patient, until the truth cracks loose—she got caught making out with another girl on the clock. A beat. Then Bunny softens. She asks what it felt like, whether the girl was the first. Summer’s voice gathers heat as she admits she wants more. Wants to know how it feels when nothing stops them. Bunny listens, legs crossed, one fingertip tracing the neckline of her blouse. Memory flickers in her eyes. College nights. Girls pressed against dorm walls. Bunny exhales, then leans closer. She offers Summer a lesson right here, now—slow, thorough, no rush. Her hands slide up Summer’s thighs, and the lesson begins.
