Description
A year after my mother’s death, our house is a mausoleum, and my father is a ghost. He’s drowning in his grief, and I’m the only one left who can see him sink. When he cancels my plans for art school and asks me to move into the master suite with him, I agree. I’ll do anything to ease his pain.
But the expensive wine he shares with me every night is laced with something more than grapes. A potent aphrodisiac that melts my grief into a haze of pliant, hazy arousal. Suddenly, I don’t see my father’s sorrow as a burden, but as a need. A need I am uniquely equipped to fill.
He starts calling me his “wife,” grooming me to be the partner he lost. He bathes me in her favorite oils, touches me with a lover’s reverence, and whispers her name against my skin. He’s not just fucking his son; he’s trying to resurrect his wife in my body. And as the lines between son and spouse blur, I find myself wanting to be his perfect replacement, to be the one who finally makes him happy again.
This is a dark, psychological taboo story of a son who surrenders his body and his identity to save his lonely father from his grief.
