An Aunt and Nephew

Noah slipped away, moving toward the men’s section of a department store. It was quieter here, less crowded. No screaming kids, no couples posing for invisible cameras. Just scattered shoppers, fathers and sons picking out ties, college bros pretending they gave a shit about looking ‘formal’. Noah stayed lowkey. He wasn’t here to buy. He was here to watch. To rewrite.

His eyes caught her shape first. Tall, sharp as a blade, striding through the racks like she owned the fucking place. Pinstripe slacks hugged her hips, her black blazer cut so tight it screamed money and control. Her heels clicked on the floor, each step a reminder she wasn’t here to blend in. She was in her mid-thirties, maybe, with a face that could’ve been pretty if it wasn’t so busy looking pissed off.

“Jesus, Mason, stand up straight,” she snapped, her voice slicing through the hum of the store. “You look like you’re begging the floor not to swallow you. If I brought you into a boardroom like this, they’d have you fetching coffee for the janitor.”

The kid trailing her, Mason, probably twenty, shuffled like a whipped dog, clutching two suit jackets. He was built decently, broad shoulders, but his eyes were nervous, his posture screaming defeat. Sweat beaded on his forehead under the fluorescent glare.

“Yes, Aunt Lauren,” he muttered, barely audible.

She didn’t even look at him. “And stop mumbling. You’re my sister’s kid, but I swear to God, I’ll fire you before you even start if you keep this shit up.”

Noah lingered by a rack of dress shirts, his fingers brushing the fabric like he gave a damn. He knew this dynamic. Another power-hungry bitch, another kid drowning in her shadow. It was the same story, different faces. His jaw tightened. He fucking hated them both.

He pulled out his phone. The screen lit up, camera snapping to life. Two violet outlines locked onto their faces, tagging them:

LAUREN (36)

MASON (20)

The app pulsed, alive in his hand.

Define new reality for selected targets:

Noah’s lips curled into a slow, nasty grin. Time to flip the script. His thumbs moved deliberately, each word dripping with intent.

Lauren is no longer Mason’s aunt. She’s his obsessive personal assistant, **** to please him, to make him feel like a fucking king. She dresses to tease: short skirts, plunging blouses, glasses she doesn’t need just for the look. She flirts constantly, her body always angled to tempt, but she knows her place. Mason believes he’s a hotshot young executive, untouchable, expecting total devotion. He barely notices her flirting, just takes it as his due.

He hit Enter.

The air shivered, like a heatwave you feel but don’t see. Lauren froze mid-stride, her hand still raised in some half-assed gesture of command. Then her body softened, not weak, but pliant. Her shoulders relaxed, her hips cocked slightly, like she was posing for someone’s approval. Her blazer melted away, replaced by a silky white blouse, unbuttoned low enough to show the black lace bra underneath. Her slacks shrank into a tight pencil skirt, barely covering her thighs, her heels now sharper, sexier, clicking with a new kind of purpose. Some fake glasses also materialized on her face to complete the look.

She turned to Mason, her eyes bright, needy. “The navy jacket’s perfect for you, Sir” she purred, her voice low and warm. “It makes your shoulders look… powerful. Like you could own any room.”

Mason didn’t flinch. His posture shifted, chest out, eyes sharper, like he’d been wearing suits like this his whole life. He glanced at the jacket in her hand, dismissive. “It’ll do. You’ll get it tailored by tomorrow.”

“Of course,” Lauren said, stepping closer, her tits brushing his arm as she held the jacket up to his chest. “Anything you need, I’m on it.” Her fingers lingered, tracing the lapel, her breath catching like she was turned on just by being near him.

Mason didn’t react, just nodded, like her devotion was background noise. He strode toward a mirror, Lauren trailing him, her hips swaying, her glasses slipping down her nose as she adjusted them for effect. She leaned in as he checked his reflection, whispering, “You look so fucking good, Sir. Like, untouchable.”

Noah watched, his pulse quickening. Lauren wasn’t just serving, she was begging to be noticed, her body practically screaming for his attention. Mason didn’t care. He adjusted his cuffs, smirked at himself, and said, “Get me a coffee after this. Black.”

Lauren’s eyes lit up, like he’d just promised her the world. “On it,” she said, already turning, her skirt riding up as she hurried off, her ass bouncing with every step. Mason didn’t even glance. He didn’t need to. She was his.

Noah didn’t follow them. He’d seen enough. He moved deeper into the store, past polos and gift racks, his eyes scanning for the next target. The app was a fucking ****, and he was hooked.

Then he saw them. A man and his daughter, browsing a table of button-downs. The guy was pure middle-aged mediocrity, khakis, tucked-in shirt, a gut he wasn’t hiding but wasn’t flaunting either. He had that dopey, proud-dad smile, the kind that made Noah’s skin crawl. The girl, looked twenty-one, was all bounce and light, her denim skirt short, her tank top tight but not slutty. Her sandals clicked as she danced around him, holding up a pale blue shirt.

“It’s cute, right? Not too… dad-ish?” she teased, her voice bright, her eyes sparkling with that easy, unearned affection.

The dad chuckled, rolling his eyes. “It’s Father’s Day, Ivy. I’ll wear whatever you pick, like always.”

Noah’s throat tightened. That fucking intimacy. The way she touched his arm, the way he looked at her like she was his whole world. It wasn’t sexual, it was worse. It was love, casual and careless, like they didn’t know how fragile it was. Like it couldn’t be ripped away in a second. He hated them for it.

He raised his phone. The camera locked on, violet outlines snapping into place.

KENNETH (49)

IVY (21)

His jaw clenched. “Father’s Day,” he muttered under his breath. “You don’t know shit about what that means.”

He tapped Ivy’s name first. This was personal. Kenneth could wait. The prompt box opened and Noah’s fingers moved, slow and vicious.
