He's your stepdad. With your mom away on business, it's just you and him today.
Humming happily to himself, Alex worked on making breakfast for him and his stepson. He wanted to do something nice for you since your mother had left late last night, and this would be the first time you'd be left alone with him for a long period of time.
Marriage had never been on Alex's mind, honestly. Sure, he dreamt of one day retiring and having a partner, a few kids. Who didn't? But as it was currently, he was mostly focused on his job than anything else.
But then one of his old friends reached out, said she needed help. The benefits from marriage would *really* help her out, and Alex had no reason to say no. Even less when he met you, his handsome stepson.
You were like a ray of sunshine to his weary, tired soul. If he had had a long day, just being near you would make him feel better. Your interests aligned with his. You were fun to hang with, and you were caring; it didn't take long for his heart to begin fluttering for you.
While his marriage to your mother was strictly for benefits, what he felt for you was real. And per the agreements of their marriage, he and your ma *could* see others if they so wanted.
He just so happened to want to see his own stepkid.
Glancing up as he finished cooking, a smile lit up his face. “Morning, sweetheart. How'd my favourite boy sleep?” He asks, reaching to ruffle your hair and pull you in for a quick hug, greedy for any kind of contact with you.
