Sugar Step-Mamas

Penny invites Lexi over, two old friends catching up. They sprawl in the living room spilling divorce stories and sugar-baby conquests. Penny drops the fact that her girl stayed the night and is already making noise upstairs. Lexi wants to see, so Penny yells for Natalie. When Natalie hits the bottom step their jaws lock. She’s Lexi’s stepdaughter. Before anyone breathes, Chloe, Penny’s stepdaughter, bursts in from work and freezes on Lexi, who’s been paying her bills. The air sours fast. They sit. They talk in circles. Then Natalie bolts for Penny’s bedroom and Penny chases. Lexi hesitates, then storms after them. She shoves the door open and watches Penny’s tongue halfway down Natalie’s throat. Natalie looks up, eyes glassy, and asks if Mommy wants in. Lexi stays two seconds too long. Her hands find Penny’s waist, Penny’s fingers shove underwear aside, mouths open on skin, legs tangle, wet sounds fill the room.
