Only Yourself To Blame

In the dim glow of her bedroom, 18-year-old Athena Faris sprawls across tangled sheets, her lithe body barely covered. A sharp buzz jolts her—a video call from step-dad Stirling Cooper. She picks up, feigning nonchalance, but his face is a storm of rage. The business trip soured when a colleague, dad to one of her girlfriends, spilled the beans: Athena and her friend inked up last night. Athena's eyes widen, but she dodges, insisting she's unmarked, yanking her tank top aside to flash pristine shoulder. 'Look, Daddy, nothing.' Stirling's voice cuts like a blade—strip it all off, or else. She squirms, batting lashes, then snaps back defiant, finally begging through gritted teeth. No dice. Comply or get booted. Tears sting as she peels away layers, heart pounding, the fresh tattoo on her hip a damning secret waiting to betray her. Stirling's gaze devours the reveal, a smirk twisting his lips—until the ink hits the screen. Fury reignites. Can't spank her himself from afar, so he growls the command: smack that naughty ass raw. Athena whimpers, hand rising, knowing she dragged this twisted reckoning on herself.
