The Rent Agreement Ch. 08 - Full Prerelease

I'm pleased to finally post the full conclusion to The Rent Agreement. It's bittersweet as I've thoroughly enjoyed crafting this story, but I'm also excited to start something fresh. As usual, this rough prerelease will exist solely here for at least a week, and might undergo some small changes and edits before I publish it on Literotica.

While I can't promise when the first chunk of a my new story will be released, I hope to get something out in a timely fashion and will update you regularly on my progress.

Thanks a metric fuck ton for all of your support. I'm not sure this story would've gotten done without you all. Enjoy!

“Holy shit, I’m so sore…” Josh grumbled as he hobbled back to his bed, slow-moving and hunched over. It was early morning, and his wincing had woken Leah when he climbed off of the mattress to head to the bathroom.

“Sorry…” She murmured sweetly, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. “That’s the good kind of sore though, right? When your muscles get a nice workout?” Her positivity fell on deaf ears as he groaned and pulled the sheets over his head. Leah felt bad that her boyfriend had pushed himself too hard and was now in pain for it, but also had trouble relating to his disdain for physical exercise. She thought back to early on in their relationship, and realized that he had seemingly never been thrilled to do anything that involved exerting oneself. Perhaps she had been blind to that fact, or brushed it off as non-issue in her naivety. Now that she’d grown closer to Ethan, the contrast between the men couldn’t be any more palpable, and a number of compatibility issues were suddenly so apparent. 

Leah was tempted to say something, to just dive into the deep end and get the ball rolling on the inevitable conversation that she’d been dreading. She decided to wait though, rationalizing that he ought to be in a better mood, and more lucid first. “Can I bring you anything?” She asked, tossing the covers off of her and noticing her bare midriff and legs looking a shade tanner from the prolonged sun exposure the previous day.

Josh cleared his throat before mumbling weakly, “Maybe just a headache pill… And some water, please.”

“You got it,” she replied, exiting the room and closing the door quietly behind her. Once in the external bathroom, she rummaged around the medicine cabinet, found the pain relief medicine, and walked absent-mindedly back out into the main room while reading the label on the bottle.

“Woah!” Was all she heard before colliding straight into her roommate, her face planting into his bare chest. “Watch where you’re going kid,” Ethan teased, catching her from bouncing off of him by the small of her back.

“Jesus, why are you blocking my door you weirdo?” She asked, looking up at him.

“I was hoping to use your shower again, but now I think I might use something else first…”

Leah was pressed against the man’s hard body, noting that he was wearing nothing but a small towel around his waist, and could feel his dick growing beneath it already. “Shhh! I need to bring these to Josh. Let go of me!” She whispered frantically. Ethan only embraced her more tightly, lifting her just off of the ground and walking forward, straight into the bathroom. As she struggled silently to break free, he kicked the door closed behind him and continued onward until she was pinned against the sink. “Ethan, this is insane! You can’t be in here with me!” She dropped the bottle onto the surface just before he took control of her limbs as well.

“Well I am, so…” He growled, hungrily kissing her neck, his hands smothering hers and holding them firmly against the cool counter behind her. As he dragged his lips down past her delicate collar bone and towards her chest, a soft moan escaped her. He quickly pulled her top down to her waist so he could feast on her tits. While sucking and nibbling at her hardening buds, he began pulling her shorts off as well. Ethan knew he was taking the recklessness to new heights, but between his unaddressed morning wood and having it unexpectedly nestled up against his drop-dead gorgeous roommate, the urge was too powerful to resist. He kissed her smooth, flat tummy while forcefully freeing her ankles from all the bunched up clothing before straightening up again and allowing his towel to fall to the ground. Pulling her body into his again, he forced his tongue into her mouth and savored her sweetness as he guided her to the shower, backpedaling step by step into the concealed chamber. Ethan broke the kiss for but a second, turning on the water and stepping over the ledge of the tub, before hoisting Leah into the enclosure with him and hastily swishing the opaque curtain closed.

The water was icy cold at first and Leah almost screamed, catching herself and channeling the energy into her roommate’s body instead. No shower on Earth was cold enough to extinguish her arousal at that moment. She felt so incredibly stupid for allowing him to make a move on her in the bathroom she shared with her boyfriend, while he was still in the apartment no less, yet Ethan’s brutish insistence on having her anyway was too hot to deny. Josh had likely fallen back asleep anyway. Soon the water was searing, and their hands were all over each other, slippery and eagerly groping while their tongues wrestled for control. With a hushed giggle, Leah applied a generous amount of liquid body wash onto her palm, and began applying it to his ripped torso. He returned the favor and before long their bodies were slick with suds.

Ethan’s massive cock had been constantly rubbing against her, and she finally slithered downwards, catching it between her soapy breasts. She started bouncing lightly, jerking him off with her soft tits and smiling widely when he grunted in approval and matched her efforts with his hips. It felt so illicit to be crouching down in her own shower so that her roommate could bury his big dick between her luscious tits. He started fucking her chest more enthusiastically, and she dropped her chin, opening wide to accept his emerging head into her mouth. She watched with delight as he threw his face back into the pouring water, clearly enamored with the way she was worshiping him. The man looked otherworldly, his statuesque physique towering over her with dense steam rising from his shoulders. She wanted to please him so badly, squeezing her jugs together and swirling her tongue around him while letting her drool flow down his hard shaft and keep everything lubricated.

Leah had attempted intimacy in the shower only once before, with Josh, and it hadn’t gone well. They awkwardly fumbled around to find a comfortable position, and when he did finally penetrate her, the slippery factor was basically non-existent and they quickly gave up. The whole ordeal had also left him soft, so they ended up just transitioning into a normal, routine shower and pretended it hadn’t happened. Because of that experience, the young girlfriend was sure what to expect when Ethan lifted her leg and manipulated her against the wall, away from the stream of water, and began pushing his thick cock into her dripping pussy from behind. To her amazement, it slid further and further in, with no discomfort at all. She realized she shouldn’t have doubted it to begin with, given how incredibly wet she became anytime she was around him, let alone in such an intimate position.

“Oh my God…” She whimpered as his swelling head touched her cervix. Each and every time he filled her to capacity, it felt like the first time all over again. “Fuuucking sooo goood… Ohhh… Pleeease not too loouud… Ahhh…” She had just enough sense left to request him to hold back a little, though with the sound of the heavy liquid splattering the floor, she wasn’t sure he could even hear her. The damn bathroom shared a wall with her bedroom, and she had no idea what state Josh was in at that moment.

“Don’t worry, I’m gonna go nice and easy on you for now,” Ethan answered, leaning forward to murmur in her ear. “Just a smoooth, steamy, slow fucking is exactly what I need to get this morning load into you right now. It’s been building up all night…” His movements were controlled and deliberate, his throbbing erection stretching her wide and remaining planted for a second before withdrawing ever so slowly and leaving her wanting more. 

Leah moaned deeply at the thought of his huge balls working overtime while he slept for the sole purpose of flooding her again.

“You left me hanging last night, falling asleep on the couch with your boyfriend and my generous appetizer coating your throat. I almost dragged you into my bedroom to finish the deed…”

“Ohhh fuck… You should have… I wanted your cock inside of me so ba–” Was that the bathroom door!? Leah and Ethan froze in place at the sudden disturbance, wondering if the strange echo in the shower was playing tricks on them.

“Babe?” Josh asked from beyond the curtain.

“Y-Yeah? Hey-Oh! Oh my God, I got sidetracked and totally forgot to bring you the pills! I’m so sorry!” Leah took a deep breath, and exhaled all the nervous energy from her lungs before brushing her end of the fabric aside, just enough to poke her face through. Her boyfriend was some six feet away, at the sink, fiddling with the medicine. “How are you feeling? Fuck, I can’t believe that. I was just daydreaming and got into the shower on total auto-pilot…”

“It’s okay.” Josh mumbled, throwing a pill down his throat and drinking from the faucet. He seemed distracted and hurried for some reason.

Leah’s mind was spinning out, and Ethan’s fat cock was still deep within her. If Josh decided he was going to shower, it was all over. She thought about making an excuse that she was on her period, but did he know that was factually incorrect? Probably not, she decided, but desperately tried to think of something else. “Were you gonna need the shower? Cause-Ohh”

“No, in fact, I need to get going,” he said, hastily washing his face in the sink. He had interrupted her at the ideal moment, as Ethan had started moving in her again, and she would’ve stumbled all over her words which were going to be clumsy to begin with. She shot her hand back to shove his stomach as a way of telling him to stop, but he continued leisurely easing in and out of her anyway.

“Where you going?” Leah blurted out rapidly, afraid that if she expelled too much breath she might make a sound that would suggest her roommate was currently stuffing her full of his big dick.

“Got called into the office. Hopefully just a few hours,” he explained before shoving a toothbrush into his mouth.

“Ahh-Okay,” she answered awkwardly, trying desperately to keep her cool and silently thanking the heavens that the hot steam from the shower was the perfect mask for her undoubtedly flushed cheeks. Ethan’s huge cock felt so fucking good tunneling in and out of her, and she was tempted to just shut the curtain and beg him to fuck her harder. Patience, Leah…

Josh side-eyed her and lifted an eyebrow. “Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Huh? I… Was just daydreaming again I guess, heh…” Hold it together, woman! The man inside of her must have been getting restless, because he started thrusting into her a little more forcefully, and she feared Josh would notice her head repeatedly jolting forward. She couldn’t risk disappearing behind the curtain though, because then he might open it to say goodbye.

“Okay then weirdo,” Josh said suspiciously after spitting and wiping his mouth. “I’ll see you later, bye.” He walked over to her, causing her stomach to twist into a tight knot, and pecked her on the lips, completely oblivious to the fact that his buddy was tickling the deepest reaches of her pussy that he’d never come close to before. The second the door closed shut behind her boyfriend, Leah felt strong fingers coil around her throat and pull her back into the humid fuck chamber. Ethan resumed his earlier established intensity, still slow and controlled, but fully thrusting in and out of her again.

“I must be the luckiest guy alive. Ngh… Now I get you all to myself for the rest of the morning.”

“Mmpf… I can’t fucking believe you. That was way too close!”

“Way too hot,” he corrected her. “I loved watching you try to act all innocent while your cheating pussy was clamping down on my cock.” His hand ran down her foamy skin and found her clit. “I think you earned yourself a nice orgasm for doing such a good job…”

“Ohhh fuuuck… You are such a fucking arrogant son of a bitch…” Leah moaned on wobbly legs as he started lightly drawing circles on her slippery pleasure button. Having her most sensitive zone stimulated while simultaneously being pumped full of hard dick was thoroughly overwhelming, and she was reminded that she couldn’t pleasure her own body half as well as Ethan could. She hoped Josh had left the apartment already, because the water began splashing around in an abnormal way as their bodies rocked together more aggressively. The fear that her boyfriend could walk back in at any moment did nothing to slow the climax that was swiftly building up within her. “I swear… Nghh… It’s like you want to get c-Oh God.. caught.”

“I just can’t control myself around your sexy little ass anymore… That, and I love watching you squirm…” Ethan groaned into her ear before biting it. He was still giving it to her from behind, his forearm snaking up between her soapy breasts and his hand around her delicate neck. The well hung man adored bending her body to his will just as much as he did her mind. “Don’t pretend like you don’t love it too… I can feel your needy little pussy leaking your slut juice all over me when there’s a risk of getting caught.”

“Unnghh, God... You fucking ass…” Leah hated that he was right, and cursed her body for betraying her and getting so immensely turned on by such terrible things. “Ahh! Oh fuck I’m gonna cum!”

“Mmm yeah! Who makes that cunt of yours cum the hardest?”

“You do! Ohhhhfffffffff!” Leah barely managed to hold back from screaming as the dense tidal wave of pleasure hit her, Ethan’s arms the only thing keeping her from dropping to the floor as her limbs failed her. Skewered on his big cock, she shuddered helplessly in ecstasy as he pounded and rubbed her sex until she couldn’t take it anymore. When she squealed for him to stop due to the overwhelming sensitivity, he released her clit and both hands found her tits instead. He continued ravaging her, the echoes of their wet skin loudly slapping into each other’s while he mauled her fleshy chest.

“Oh my God! Not so loud!” She pleaded, but it only encouraged him to fuck her harder, the cascading waterfall rhythmically crashing into the ground and then abruptly stopping, matching the pattern of his hips.

“Shut up and take that hard dick like a good little whore!”

“Ahhggghhh! Yessir!” There was no sense in worrying anymore if he was going to do what he wanted anyway, and Leah felt an immediate sense of relief wash over her upon letting go.

“Mmm! It was just the day before yesterday that I was in here-Ungh! I was this close to ignoring your wishes and pulling you into this shower with me.”

“Ohhm… I would’ve loved that… I was secretly hoping you would…”

“Then I saw your panties in the corner and figured I could at least get it out of my system a little.”

“That was so hot… I fucking had to make myself-Oh-CUM the minute you gave them to me…”

“You nasty little slut!” Ethan slapped her ass, causing hundreds of tiny water droplets to blast against the wall.

“AH! It’s true!”

“You called me a perv and then went and got yourself off about it?”

“Mhmm! You are a perv! But.. I even-Oh my fucking God-rubbed your cum all over me! Right there on the floor!”

Her confession even surprised him a little. “You delicious little cum rag… You’re going to be pleased with what I’ve got for you here then…”

“Ohhh yesss… You got a big, fat load ready for me?”

“Just about, but I want you to beg for it!”

“Please pump your hot fucking cum into me! I want it so badly!”

“Mmrrmmm…”

“Gimme that huge, sticky mess! Please! I want to feel it shooting inside of my pussy and filling me up!”

“Unnnngghhh!”

“Breed my little slut womb, Ethan! Fucking overload me with your sperm!” Leah was right on the cusp of another massive climax, and fully giving into the primal stream of consciousness spewing out of her mouth.  Oh FUCK! I’M GONNA CUM SO HARD IF I FEEL IT SWARMING INSIDE ME! BREED ME LIKE YOUR CUM SLUT SLAVE!”

“GOOUUHHHFFFFUUUUUCK!” Ethan slammed his hips into her ass as hard as he possibly could as his cock started erupting against her cervix. Leah squealed through her own orgasm and focused on the feel of his thick semen spreading rapidly within her. The warm, creamy batter flooded her almost immediately, soaking into her tender pink walls and spilling into her unprotected womb. The moment was so blissful, she felt like she could live her entire life as a mindless, subservient creature for that man to breed at his will. It was as if she had found her calling. After several minutes of enduring an avalanche of dopamine together, Ethan withdrew his manhood with one last harsh slap of her curvaceous ass meat. Leah held onto the tiled wall for another minute, panting, and Ethan reached for a pair of towels.

“God damn…” She cooed.

“Yeah, seriously…” He agreed dreamily. “Go check that the coast is clear, yeah?” He suggested, draping a towel over her wet shoulders.

“Okay…” Leah answered lazily, still foggy from all the pleasure that had just pummeled her receptors. She clumsily dried herself and stepped out of the shower, grabbed the doorknob, and quietly cracked the door open. There were no sounds, and she peered across the living room to confirm that Josh’s set of keys were not present on their usual hook near the front door. She walked further into the apartment and glanced into her bedroom, which also appeared empty. “He’s gone,” Leah said quietly to herself. She’d begun the day with little idea as to how it would pan out, certainly without any expectation that she would be alone with her insatiable roommate for hours. It felt odd standing in the middle of the quiet room in her towel, all sexually charged and nothing stopping her from acting on it to the highest degree.

She glanced back to see Ethan standing in the doorway. At her nod, he dropped his towel and confidently approached her, his obscenely large cock bobbing back and forth. “Finally some real privacy,” he said, smiling, and effortlessly scooped her up in his powerful arms. He carried her to the couch and plopped his naked ass onto the seat, his prize now also fully nude and in his lap. Brushing the soaking hair from her face, he planted a sensual kiss on her lips. “God you’re beautiful,” he said with a genuine expression of infatuation before kissing her again.

“Mmm… Thank you,” she cooed, her bright eyes getting lost in his. “So are you…”

Ethan, wrapped up in the private, sensual moment, felt the overwhelming urge to open up, to confront his burgeoning feelings and explore them with her. “You know… I meant what I said on the mountain… About not wanting this to end…”

“I did too,” Leah replied, noting the shift in his expression, and feeling a flush of anticipation for him to embellish. “What does that look like though?”

“Honestly, I don’t know if I’ve ever felt this way about a woman… Or anyone for that matter…”

“Oh?” She was caught off guard by the man’s rare showing of vulnerability, half expecting him to cover it up with sarcasm or something similarly guarding. “Easy to say when you’ve got me right where you want me,” she challenged.

“I’m serious. I want you. Like… Fully.” Ethan’s eye contact did not waver, and the moment felt more genuine by the second.

“Fully?” Leah wanted to hear more, his proclamation an intoxicating development.

“That’s right. I just feel this connection with you, and I don’t really want to let go of it. I feel like we really have something.” He paused to study her reaction, knowing it was a lot to process. “I never wanted anything more than a fuck buddy, and would jump ship the minute I sensed any expectations of something more serious… But with you… It’s different. I truly don’t want anything else.”

“Wow…” Leah’s mind was racing. She knew that deep down, she held a very similar sentiment towards him. What had started out as a guilt-ridden slippery slope towards a sexual awakening, her affections for him had blossomed into a shape that was further reaching. The magnetic attraction between them had breached the physical realm at some point, and she could realistically picture their relationship evolving into something sturdy, and real, and exciting. Leah had fought against the realization for some time, mostly in her subconscious. She’d been trying to convince herself that to accept how much she wanted him would be a betrayal to her values; as if she would be less of a person to succumb to the dark desire to abandon her current partner for the more alluring man. Would it be such a bad thing to face the truth and finally let go of those inhibitions? “But… Josh…” She muttered, still lost in thought.

“I know. We’ll tell him.” Ethan answered softly. He didn’t need to hear anymore from her to know the feelings were mutual. She nodded. He cupped her jaw and kissed her. “But until then…” He kissed her again, more forcefully. “We have this whole place to ourselves, and I intend to take advantage of every second…” He thrust his tongue past her lips and pulled her torso into his, squeezing tightly as his cock swelled against her moist pussy.

“In light of the new circumstances, she’s decided to drop the charges.” 

The words pierced through Josh’s shrouded mind, but he needed to hear them again to be sure he hadn’t imagined them. “Excuse me?”

“That’s right,” the elderly lawyer affirmed, slightly distracted as he shuffled the stack of papers. “Given the nature of the recovered messages between the two of you, I strongly suggested they back down and reassess. As of this morning, the case has been dropped in its entirety.”

The wizened professional continued to ramble on about the legal details, but Josh’s mind was racing, suddenly unburdened from the incredible weight that had him shackled for months. “It’s actually over? For real?” He asked, interrupting his counsel.

“That’s correct. Unless you wish to mount a counter–”

“No. I Just want to be done with this.”

“Very well. Just sign these as an acknowledgement, and that’ll be the end of it,” the old man explained, pushing a stack of documents across the polished desktop. Josh scribbled his signatures hurriedly, and departed with an unceremonious handshake, eager to never set foot in a law office again.

As he stepped out onto the concrete steps with a renewed vigor, he deeply inhaled and exhaled. The crisp air filling his lungs seemed fresher somehow, as if to signal the rebirth of potential in the world around him. With the threat of the malicious charges finally behind him, he could once again focus on the future. Then again, the present was still a problematic mess that needed fixing. Josh hadn’t made his mind up as to whether or not he would reveal the narrowly dodged disaster to his girlfriend. With their relationship already teetering, the news of his treacherous mistake could be the final nail in the coffin. It was tragic that he wouldn’t be able to openly revel in the good news with her though, and he contemplated texting Ethan, the only person who knew of the ongoing plight. He tapped Leah’s name instead, figuring he’d check in with her before deciding what to do next. As far as she knew, he was at work, and had plenty of time leftover to hit the bar for a celebratory drink or two. The phone rang several times, and just when it seemed she wouldn’t pick up, he was greeted with his girlfriend’s voice.

“Heyyy… What’s up?” She said, seemingly out of breath.

“Hi, just checking in,” Josh stated.

A few seconds passed before she spoke again. “How’s work?” Her voice sounded somewhat strained.

“It’s… Not too bad actually. Are you okay?” He asked, listening intently.

“Ye-Yeahh… Why?”

“You sound–”

“I’m just stretching. Ohhh, it feels really good after that… Big, long hike…”

“Ah, I see…” Josh answered suspiciously. He didn’t want to believe it, but the nagging thought that something unsavory was going on between her and Ethan clawed its way back to the forefront of his mind. Surely his girlfriend wouldn’t be fooling around at that very moment while on the phone with him, he tried to convince himself. He held it all in for the time being, suppressing the negative thoughts and straightening his composure. “Yeah, I should probably do some stretching too. Anyway, just wanted to say hi. I’ll be a couple more hours,” he lied, swinging his car door open and climbing in with every intention of getting home as soon as possible. Leah stammered a rushed goodbye and ended the call before he could ignite his engine.

As he raced home, Josh’s brain was a jumbled mess of conflicting ideas. He’d hoped life could return to normal now that the lawsuit had been dropped, but if Leah had already strayed, was that even possible? If she was in fact cheating on him, did he even have the moral footing to justify being upset about it? He’d been too scared to dwell on the thought with the threat of the case hanging over him, and had remained largely apathetic towards Leah’s suspicious behaviors, procrastinating the inevitable. Things were different now though, and the time had come to confront the unspoken. A part of him still wished that he would arrive home to find his girlfriend in an uncompromising position, her innocence unblemished, so he could again bury his uncertainty and keep his own tumultuous secrets to himself. It was still a possible outcome.

As he approached the door to the apartment though, that last shred of hope was ripped to pieces. The unmistakable sounds of grunting, moaning, and the rhythmic slapping of skin could be heard coming from inside. A dense cocktail of mixed emotions battered the young man’s brain as he stared at the smooth alloy handle in indecision, but at that moment, it was rage that rang out the loudest. He reached for the lever with a shaky hand, knowing his life would never be the same the second that he turned it.

Leah’s naked body was slick with sweat as she rocked back and forth atop the kitchen counter. She was on her back, legs spread wide, as Ethan slammed into her welcoming pussy with relentless enthusiasm. Her mind was in a trance-like state after having been fucked in nearly every square inch of the apartment over the past hour and a half. She and her roommate had torn into each other like it was their last day alive, tainting every surface of the shared living space with their unbridled lust. Her cunt was overflowing with his virile seed, and yet she begged and begged for more, the ability to fuck out in the open without fear of being discovered bringing both of their insatiabilities to new heights. Other than the brief call from her boyfriend, which she felt she had narrowly but successfully navigated despite Ethan’s big cock hammering her, she’d been completely wrapped up in the all out, nasty sex marathon with the freeing notion that nothing in the world could interrupt them.

With the all-consuming sensation of her newest orgasm surging through her, Leah did not hear the beep of the front door unlocking and swinging open. “OHHH FUCK! YESSS! GIVE ME THAT BIG FUCKING COCK! YEAAAHHHGHHH!” Her shrieks of ecstasy filled the room and bombarded her stunned boyfriend’s ears.

“I fucking KNEW it!” Josh bellowed, the heavy door slamming shut behind him. The sight was even more unbearable than he’d expected, their conjoined, glistening bodies right in the open. Leah was splayed out and writhing in pleasure, moaning with an intensity he’d never heard before while his friend bucked into her, clutching her hips like she was his property. The room reeked of sex, and the glazed over expression of pure pleasure smattered across his girlfriend’s face as Ethan’s impossibly thick erection violated her was an image he would surely never forget.

“WH-AHHHH!” Leah screamed in disbelief, her limbs flailing in panic.

Ethan, just as shocked by the sudden intrusion, quickly pulled out from Leah’s clinging depths, turning towards Josh, but remaining beside her. He studied the angry man carefully, unsure of what he might try to do in the heated moment.

Josh couldn’t help but notice his roommate’s obscenely massive erection, sticking straight out and coated in milky fluids. The same white, syrupy goo could be seen dripping from Leah’s sex just before she crossed her legs to cover herself, a brief display of evidence that Ethan had shot his cum inside of her unprotected pussy. “You fucking disgusting WHORE!” He shouted accusingly at his girlfriend, taking a step forward and thrusting his finger in her direction. 

“I’m sorry!” Leah cried, her eyes welling up with tears. She was sitting upright now, still on top of the counter, and had wrapped her arms around her folded legs defensively. She felt so utterly exposed, her treachery suddenly as bare as her skin.

“Woah, woah!” Ethan exclaimed, shielding more of her body with his. “Don’t talk to her like that!” He demanded, posturing himself in a way that suggested Josh had better keep his distance. “I’m sorry you had to see this, but let’s not pretend you’re mister innocent, okay?”

“Fuck you! Fuck both of you!” He screamed, beginning to choke up himself as his eyes grew watery. Josh knew he was in a predicament, but was far too fired up to pay any mind towards his own self preservation anymore.

Leah was fully sobbing now, bolstering Ethan’s need to defend her. He glared at his roommate sternly, speaking with an unwavering tone of sincerity, “It’s over dude… If you don’t tell her, I will…”

Josh noticeably flinched, his aggressive disposition folding in on itself. “T-tell me what?” Leah asked shakily. A silence fell over the room, the two men sizing each other up in a standstill. The tables had turned, and the conflicted boyfriend contemplated running away before forcing himself to stand his ground. He had no choice but to come clean, to own up to his dark secret before Ethan stole the last shred of dignity he had left.

“I… Also… Fucked up…” He started, gazing down towards his feet in shame. The quiet in the room, aside from Leah’s occasional sniffles, was deafening, and he knew he had to fill it with answers. “I didn’t…” Josh let out a lengthy sigh before continuing. “I didn’t get fired for that sensitive file bullshit.” He drew a deep breath again, trembling slightly. “I got caught having sex with a coworker in the bathroom…” His words hung heavily in the air for several moments while Leah stared at him with wide eyes, her mouth open in astonishment.

“You… Huh?” She was at a loss of words, completely blindsided by the unexpected confession.

“I wanted to tell you, but… Yeah…”

“But…” Leah’s gaze darted over to the naked man beside her. “You knew about this?” His solemn expression told her he had. “This is too fucking weird. I-I need to…” Leah scooted off of the counter, leaving a smeared puddle of Ethan’s cum, and walked to the bathroom, locking the door behind her. The two males awkwardly regarded one another.

“What the fuck, man?” Josh mumbled.

“Sorry, but you blew it... I should put some clothes on. We can talk later when everyone’s cooled off.” Ethan said robotically as he left for his bedroom. He did sympathize with his troubled friend, but after witnessing his persistently unsavory behavior for the past few months, especially towards Leah, it was difficult to feel all that badly for him. It didn’t help that he had fallen for the woman along the way, something he had not expected to happen. The simple fact was that he’d lost nearly all respect for Josh, and now cared far more greatly to be with Leah than he was inclined to rekindle the friendship that seemed irreparable. He only hoped that she would forgive him for harboring her boyfriend’s secret for all that time.

Leah sat in solitude, hugging her legs to her chest for nearly an hour as the water from the shower poured over her and drowned out her surroundings. Her tears flowed freely, washed away as quickly as they appeared while she wept over the traumatic confrontation that had just taken place. How could she have been so reckless as to think that her and Ethan’s increasingly emboldened cheating would go unnoticed? As humiliating as it was to have been caught in the act, what stung even more was the fact both men had known of Josh’s infidelity the entire time, while she’d been completely in the dark. A flash of anger passed through her as she thought of all those weeks of trying to stay faithful and supportive to a boyfriend that lied through his teeth since day one. Despite failing and succumbing to dishonesty in the end herself, his blunder seemed worse somehow. She rationalized that if Josh hadn’t fucked up first, then she would’ve never been subject to her roommate’s relentless seduction.

After her initial reactionary emotions had run their course, Leah’s untended curiosity took the forefront. A variety of questions were buzzing around her mind as she dried herself off: Who was this woman Josh had slept with? How long had it been going on, and how were they caught? How did Ethan know about it, and had he from the beginning? As she readied herself to leave the privacy of the bathroom, she realized she didn’t have a plan for what to do next. Wrapped in nothing but a towel, she cracked the door open slowly, observing the apartment for intel. It was seemingly silent, and her bedroom door was ajar. She wasn’t ready to confront her boyfriend just yet, and snuck quietly across the short distance to confirm he had left. Josh was nowhere to be found, and after slipping into some clothes, Leah made for Ethan’s room, knowing he had several of the answers she was searching for. 

She knocked on his door lightly to which he responded, “Leah?”

“Yeah.”

“Come in.”

She did so without hesitation, and found her roommate sitting on the bed in a pair of gym shorts. “What the hell? Is this really happening?” She asked defeatedly. Her body ached for comfort, but she kept her distance, unsure if she could trust him.

Ethan studied the puffy-eyed woman and frowned in an attempt to convey empathy. “I know, it wasn’t supposed to go down like this–”

“Spit it out! What do you know!?”

“I wanted to tell you so many times… I just… It’s complicated.”

“Yeah, no shit it’s complicated, Ethan!”

“I’m sorry, okay? I really am. I should’ve told you a long time ago, but listen. It was Josh’s secret at first, you know? He told me in confidence, and I… Respected that. For a while at least. I’m not gonna lie, I kind of took advantage of the situation. I was, am, very attracted to you, and I used the ordeal to get closer to you.” He was stammering, but wanted to get all of the thoughts out in the air while she was still listening. “I think part of me also wanted him to pay for what he did. To have to physically give up time with you in trade for me keeping his secret seemed like a fitting punishment, and it also kept you around. If I had told you immediately, you guys most likely would’ve split. Then I’d have been stuck with the rent, and probably lost the opportunity to change your mind about me.”

Leah’s hardened expression had softened a bit as Ethan spilled his guts all over the bedroom floor, but she still didn’t know what to think. She’d come to battle, but it was difficult to remain so heated in the face of his calm, logical explanation. There was still so much untold, though, and she needed more answers. “Okay. So he already knew you were going to offer to pay rent for the chance to sleep with me?” Ethan nodded. “What the fuck… He just agreed to that?”

“Well, he took some convincing, but the guy was desperate. I really did pay all that rent. It’s not like everything that’s happened has been a lie.”

“Why did you keep protecting his lie though? After… you know.”

“If I’m being totally honest, the dynamic we had going… Was fucking fun. Really fun, and I know you think so too. I knew it was bad to keep taking things further and further with you–without you knowing the whole truth–but I guess I was worried that it would fuck things up somehow. I just kept putting it off again and again. It wasn’t until…” Ethan’s voice trailed off.

“What?” Leah asked, stepping closer to him.

“It wasn’t until I had developed real feelings for you that the need to get honest started seriously nagging at me. I meant everything I said to you this morning. This doesn’t change anything between us. You’re mine now. The only thing that has changed is he caught us before we had a chance to tell him.”

Leah sat on the edge of the bed next to him. She felt she couldn’t really fault Ethan for his part in all of the mess, especially after all of the depraved things she had willingly done along the way. Not one of them was innocent, and dwelling on who she could blame wasn’t going to change anything about the present circumstances. She couldn’t just turn off her emotions though, and sniffled as another wave of sadness enveloped her. “I just wish everything didn’t have to blow up like this…”

Ethan put an arm around her, offering comfort, and she accepted his embrace. “I know. It sucks, but we’ll get through this, okay?” Leah nodded, her face buried in the warmth of his shoulder. “Stay with me tonight,” he said, pulling her further into the bed. “We’ll sort everything out tomorrow.” As the alluring woman willingly got under the covers with him, Ethan’s cock swelled, but he willed the burgeoning erection away. There would be plenty of time for that once they navigated their way out of the current chaos.

Leah was grateful for the safe haven her roommate provided, like a shelter in a storm. She dreaded the eventual conversation that would have to occur with Josh, but at the same time looked forward to that chapter being over with. Though the inevitable end of their relationship was saddening, the fact that they’d been growing apart for some time lessened the impact somewhat. After a short period of restlessness, the pair slept soundly, spooning against one another tightly beneath the sheets.

The next morning, Leah and Ethan woke around the same time to clanging sounds coming from the kitchen, an indication that Josh had returned at some point. “You ready?” Ethan muttered sleepily to his roommate, who nodded reluctantly as she stretched her limbs. He slipped back into some clothes and opened the door, leading the way into the living room. Josh was at the dining table, hunched over his laptop and looking exhausted. 

He had to have heard the newcomers’ entrance, but didn’t acknowledge their presence until Leah cleared her throat. “Can we talk?”

“Yeah.” Josh muttered, taking a sip from his coffee. The others sat at the table across from him, Leah nervously fidgeting with her fingers as she drew a deep breath.

“First of all, I’m really sorry you had to walk in on that yesterday. I never intended for you to find out that way…”

“How long have you guys been fucking behind my back?” He asked chillingly, not looking up from the screen.

“Not that long. It… kind of progressed slowly over time.” Leah hoped he wouldn’t pry further for details. It was surreal and quite uncomfortable to recount her and Ethan’s sexual encounters openly with him.

“Who came on to whom?” Josh inquired after an unsettling pause.

“I’d really rather not get into all of that,” she responded defensively, feeling a hint of anger bubbling up within her. “I know what we did is wrong, but it happened, and…” As she searched for the right words to explain the lengthy and complex nature of what she’d been through, a sting of resentment hit her. The bubble burst. “And you know what? You didn’t help one bit! All of that moping around and not taking care of yourself week after week, let alone putting zero effort into our relationship! Do you have any idea how hard I tried to… resist…” She shot Ethan a quick glance, catching herself before revealing too many details, and turning back to Josh. “I tried. I really tried to make it work. You basically drove me away!” The shattered couple finally made watery eye contact for a brief moment, before Josh’s gaze darted back to his laptop. “Time for you to give me some answers,” Leah added pointedly.

Josh’s posture deflated even further as he marinated in his girlfriend’s outburst. “You’re right… I… Took you for granted, and I will need to learn to accept that. It’s on me,” he admitted in a surprising show of humility. “I did a lot of thinking last night, and I realized I was in denial that you and I were drifting apart. I was also just too fucked up with everything going on to function. The woman… My coworker… I shouldn’t have done it. God how I wish I could take it back.” His fists clenched slightly as he recounted his regrettable past. “I didn’t even like her. It was just something stupid I got caught up in. Something to make that place less dull I guess. Ugh… I dunno… Anyway, she fucking sued me for sexual harassment. Tried to save her own ass. One hundred percent false. So I had to find a lawyer and build a case proving that it was totally consensual and stuff. It took forever, and was so stressful. But… As of yesterday she dropped the charges. It’s finally over.”

Leah was taken aback by his words, her quivering frown indicative of her conflicting emotions as she processed. She reached out and covered his hand with hers. “Oh my God, Josh… That’s fucking crazy. I’m sorry you had to go through all that… I wish you would’ve told me sooner.”

Josh savored the comfort of her touch for a moment, but withdrew his hand slowly, dragging it across the table. “Believe me, if I could do it all over again… But I know it’s too late.”

“Regardless of whose fault it was, or who fucked up first. I-I just want to move on from this.”

Josh took a long time to think over the climactic moment, knowing this very exchange would likely impact both of their futures. “I’m sorry too. It sucks, but I also think it’s best if we just accept that things got completely out of control, and try to move forward. I’m going to find another place to live as soon as possible.” A calm settled over the room as he uttered the last sentence. All three adults sat in silence for a minute, contemplating the unbelievably smooth potential resolution that had just taken place.

Ethan was the next to speak, clearing his throat after listening in silence thus far. “I want to add that I’m sorry for my part in how this all went down too. Feel free to stay as long as you need while you figure out your next move.”

“Kay… So… Are you gonna be staying here then?” Josh asked shakily, afraid to hear the answer.

 Leah realized he’d directed the question at her, and looked nervously between the two men for a few seconds. Though she and Ethan had not worked out any details for the future yet, she realized the implications of Josh’s question did not concern logistics, but rather if they were breaking up or not. It all came down to this one simple inquiry, and though she knew the answer, it was still difficult to confront it. After thinking it over for a time, her mind racing through the hundreds of considerations at a blinding pace, she drew a deep breath and responded. “Yes.”

Josh straightened up, as if her reply had electrified his muscles into action. “Okay…” He rose out of his chair and walked straight out of the front door with a numb gait and muttering, “I’ll be back later.” The man had no intended destination as he stepped stiff-armed down the hall. He’d managed to keep it together for the most part, saving face during the dreaded conversation that had been rattling his brain for the past several hours. Now that he was alone, he allowed himself to mourn. The troubled man roamed the city aimlessly for the better part of the morning, contemplating his life, which had been turned upside down for the second time that year. Though he’d seemingly lost Leah, a terrible consequence, there was nothing to hide from any longer. He was finally free from all of the darkness that had been poisoning him. By the end of his introspective tour, Josh was pleasantly surprised to find that he was harboring the embers of optimism.

Back at the apartment, Leah considered following Josh out to continue steering the conversation, which had ended quite abruptly, towards some sort of closure. She thought better of it though, Ethan agreeing, and decided to let some time pass first. “Well, I guess that’s it then,” she said with melancholy.

“I don’t think it could’ve gone any better than that,” Ethan stated reassuringly. He stood and extended his hand towards her, pulling her in for a hug. She squeezed him tightly, the anxiety from the confrontation melting away little by little.

“You’re right,” she agreed as fresh tears soaked into his shirt.

“Hey, it’s alright. It’s gonna be okay now,” he murmured soothingly, patiently holding her for the next few minutes and allowing her the time to release.

The two were on the verge of being late for work, and hurried to get ready. As Leah rummaged a suitable outfit from her closet, it dawned on her that it might not be her space any longer. How long would Josh stay there? Would she need to immediately move all of her things into Ethan’s room? There was still much to be sorted out.

******

The general vibe around the shared living space was undeniably awkward over the next few days, and Josh avoided the others as much as possible, only leaving his room for the quick walk down the hall to the bathroom or to exit through the front door. Ethan and Leah did their best to respect his presence and not subject him to their unquenchable affections for one another. He and his ex’s paths would cross every so often, especially when she needed to grab something from his room, which she had only partially moved out of. She would always greet him with a simple, “Hey”, and politely ask to recover a non-essential item she’d left behind. She’d sweetly ask how he was doing, to which he would offer the basic, surface-level responses. He was tempted to delve deeper, to explore the possibility of rekindling their relationship; but he knew that path would lead to nowhere but disappointment. Josh couldn’t help but secretly admire her grace as she floated around the space, noting that she was absolutely glowing. On closer inspection though, it was impossible to miss that her hair was usually tousled and her clothes askew, another sign of the constant wild sex she and Ethan were having. He realized again that these sorts of indicators had been around for a while, and that his mix of denial and preoccupation with his struggles had blinded him.

The insatiable lovers found it increasingly difficult to hold back with each passing day, and their ability to shield him from all of the sights and sounds of their passion began to falter. Josh was usually the first to depart for work in the morning, and each time he couldn’t help but glance towards the door to the master bedroom on his way out, scoffing at the thought of what was on the other side. The target of his malcontent soon ceased to be imaginative, as he was greeted by the sounds of their animalistic fucking nearly every time he passed through the common space. He was regularly graced with Leah’s gut-wrenching moans, begging Ethan to dominate her and fill her pussy with his seed. More than once he caught the pair fondling one another or whispering excitedly during their brief forays in the kitchen, but they always stopped upon noticing him, and were soon back to the privacy of the suite. The jealousy stung each and every time he was subjected to their presence, and after a week it had become too much to manage. Josh was determined to move forward, his renewed clarity urging him to accept the circumstances for what they were and to distance himself. He aspired to be the most level-headed, mature version of himself, and focused his efforts on work and the apartment hunt.

It was a Saturday morning when Josh awoke with a fire in his belly. He ripped the plugs from his ears and decided it was time to leave. There weren’t many belongings that important to him, and he hurriedly packed up his car, determined to depart before the couple inevitably started fucking again. After nearly an hour of trips up and down the elevators, he was satisfied with his haul. The rest could be left behind. The notion of starting fresh was more appealing than saving a few bucks on some furnishings he and Leah had bought together. His plan was to occupy a hotel room until he had managed to land a new apartment. He believed wholeheartedly that the clean break was exactly what he needed to finally start finally putting his life back together.

When the others finally emerged from the bedroom, they were greeted with the emptiness that Josh had left behind. Leah scanned her surroundings, noting most of his property had somehow vanished in the night. So that’s it then… In those sparse private moments with Josh recently, she found herself lingering longer than necessary in the hopes that she would think of the perfect thing to say to him. There was still something about their break up that felt unresolved, and she wondered if there existed an exact sequence of words that would tie a bow on it and leave them both satisfied with the conclusion. On the other hand, perhaps the abrupt implosion and brief aftermath was all that would ever occur, or all that either of them deserved. Maybe certain things in life don’t end in the most orderly way, she thought, and one needs to accept and move on, or be doomed to dwell forever. Leah actually felt proud of Josh for making the decision to leave. She genuinely wished the best for him, and hoped he would find a more compatible partner as she had.

“Well, looks like we finally have the place all to ourselves,” Ethan said, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing into her from behind.

Leah, still lost in thought for a moment, snapped herself back to reality and allowed her body to sink into his. “Yeah!” She spun around to face him, smiling, and determined to enjoy the positive side of the ceremonious occasion. “One problem though…” She muttered, dropping her chin and pouting.

“What’s that?” He asked with real concern.

“I… Don’t think I can afford rent by myself…” She explained, feigning embarrassment. The corners of her lips slightly upturned into a smirk as Ethan listened to her intently.

“Hmm… That’s putting me into a difficult position, roomie.”

Leah looked up at him, doe-eyed and innocent looking. “Please let me stay. I’ll do anything…”

“Anything eh?” He asked, pretending to think critically about it. She nodded. He ran his eyes slowly down her petite frame, dragging a finger lightly from her shoulder down the length of her arm. “I might have a little deal in mind.”

2 years later…

Leah clutched her swelling belly as she climbed off of Ethan, dousing his rigid cock in the creamy load he had just deposited in her. “These pregnant orgasms never get old,” she cooed, laying on her back beside him as they both caught their breath. 

Ethan chuckled. “I mean you were horny before, but this is insane,” he said blissfully, gently rubbing her tummy. She was five months along, and the couple had been taking advantage of her heightened libido. Life had progressed rapidly for the young pair, who were more smitten with each other than ever before. Leah had gone back to school to finish her degree shortly after Josh’s departure, and completed the program with flying colors. Though there was no shortage of creampies and dirty talk revolving around her insemination during that time, she had gotten on birth control after they agreed to wait until her schooling was over. It was a lengthy and joyous year filled to the brim with outdoor adventures and nonstop fucking. They never grew tired of their favorite roleplay around the apartment in which Leah played the beholden roommate, trading the free use of her body for the privilege to continue residing there rent-free. The day she graduated, Ethan proposed to her, and they eloped within the month. They spent that Summer traveling, and Leah fell pregnant early into their series of excursions.

Neither of them encountered Josh again, but at one point he popped up on social media and was seemingly doing well; smiling in a variety of images with a new woman on his arm. Leah was immensely grateful to find that he had moved on and seemed happy, the discovery finally putting to rest the mostly faded but still lingering threads of guilt that graced her conscience from time to time. It never ceased to amaze her that the ostensibly ill-advised past agreement she’d struck with her now husband had turned out to be one of the greatest and most fateful decisions of her life.
