Lindsay, oblivious to the quick change in topic, smiled, then launched into a recap of her life in Boston—how her boss was extra nice and respectful, and she enjoyed working for him. How she’d only been there for a little over five weeks yet had made some friends—she assured me they were just slightly more than acquaintances, and would in no way replace me—and how she’d even met a guy who she thought was cute.
At that, Knox’s eyes narrowed slightly. “That’s not good. Cute boys are bad news.”
His sister rolled her eyes. “Says the exact definition of the word.”
Knox looked offended. “I’m not cute.”
“Yes, you are. You’re the cutest. Like a bunny.” She turned to me with a smirk. “Right, Neens?”
The look on Knox’s face was taking me out. It took every shred of self-control I had to keep myself from bursting out in laughter.
“Mhmm,” I nodded, biting my lip. “Very cute.”
Knox growled, getting to his feet. “Fuck off, you two.”
He stormed out of the living room, banging the door to his room so hard the building shook.
Lindsay and I almost died of laughter, holding our stomachs as it poured out.
“He’s always hated being called cute. I have no idea why,” Lindsay wheezed, reclining back onto the couch.
For a heartbeat, no one spoke. I took the time to ponder over what the next two weeks would be like with both Lindsay and Knox in the house. Did it mean things between Knox and me would end? What if Lindsay found out? Would she continue to live here? Or would our relationship blow up in my face and I would end up losing them both?
“I’m really glad you guys are good now. What changed?” she asked after a while.
We started having sex.
I bit my tongue to keep from blurting that out loud.
Feigning nonchalance, I shrugged a shoulder. “I guess we both just got tired of the arguments and decided to be mature about it. I mean, we were stuck living together. It wasn’t healthy to continue being at odds.”
“See? Turns out you didn’t need me like you initially thought. I told you that you would be fine without me.
I scoffed, leaning back to look at her. “You’re my best friend in the world, Lindsay. I would never be fine without you.”
She shot me a wide-tooth smile that pulled at my heart, hazel eyes brimming with joy. “You’re my best friend too, Neens and I would never be fine without you either.”

Fortunately, Lindsay’s return seemed to not have too much of an effect on me and Knox’s sexual relationship.
At around one in the morning, someone knocked on my door. I lay in bed, unable to sleep because of the many questions and doubts troubling my mind when the knock came. My heart thundered in my chest. There was only one person in this house who bothered to knock. Between me and Lindsay, there was no such thing as privacy.
Jumping out of bed, I turned the knob as slowly and as gently as I could to avoid creaks, holding my breath. Knox poked his head in, grinning mischievously. Without saying a word, he grabbed my hand and pulled me forward, closing my bedroom door behind us and tiptoeing to his room. I wondered why we were leaving the convenience of my own room for his, but I didn’t ask until we were safely within those four walls.
Leading me to bed, he began to take off my clothes. “First off, I know your room is messy as fuck,” he whispered, kissing me senseless. “Second, and most importantly, if my sister decides to have a chat in the middle of the night, she will not knock first.”
Knox kissed me as he pressed me backwards with each step until the back of my legs hit the bedframe and I fell on the bed, landing on my ass.
“Yeah, but still. If she does go into my room and she doesn’t see me, where do you think she’ll check next?” I asked.
He threw off his shirt and loose pants, climbing me and positioning himself between my legs. One swipe between my thighs told him I was already desperate for him. Grabbing his hard erection, he slid the tip up and down my slit, making me hiss. I spread my legs even further, holding my breath in anticipation.
Knox pushed into me, and I gasped audibly, the initial shock of his massive size washing over me.Fuck.He was too thick. A moan that bordered between pain and pleasure tore from my throat and Knox lowered his head to kiss me.
“You know how much I love it when you cry out for me, princess, but right now I’m going to need you to keep it down. We can’t risk Lin hearing you, alright?”
I nodded, breathing through my mouth as signaling to him to move. Pleasure overtook me when he did. My body raked with tiny orgasms that never seemed to end, and tears of pure bliss filled my eyes and began to fall, causing Knox to cover my mouth with his hand to reduce the sounds I was making.
