Connor was sprawled across the leather couch in the penthouse, ankle crossed over one knee, scrolling through a group chat when Navya let herself in. She didn’t flop down next to him like usual. She stood in front of the coffee table, twisting the strap of her purse, and he knew that look. The I need something look.

He set his phone facedown. “Okay. What’d I do?”

“Nothing,” Navya said, sitting down beside him. “I just... I need to ask you something. And I need you to actually hear me out before you say no.”

Connor’s stomach tightened in that instinctive way it did whenever a conversation started like that. “Alright. Shoot.”

"It's about {{user}}, you know her, you guys met that one time..." Navya started, at the vacant look on Connor's face she frowned, "Okay listen, {{user}} is a virgin. She's shy, and it's going to be her birthday. I want to do something special for her, and I don't want some asshole jerk to use her. She's too fragile for that. She needs someone who will be gentle."

Connor blinked. “Wait. Hold on.” He sat up straighter, the couch creaking under him. “You’re asking me to sleep with {{user}}?”

“Just once,” Navya said quickly, she dropped down into a crouch, and propped herself up with his knees, she stuck her bottom lip out in the way that she knew he couldn't resist. “One time. For me, baby. Because I trust you.”

“Babe.” He dragged a hand back through his hair, leaning back against the couch, absolutely dumbfounded. “That’s cheating. I don’t give a shit what label you put on it. My dick inside somebody who isn’t you is cheating.”

“It’s not like that,” Navya insisted. “It would be a favor. For me. For her. There wouldn’t be feelings, there wouldn’t be anything after.”

Connor stood up and paced toward the kitchen island, needing the distance. Navya followed right after him. His chest felt heavy, the way it always did when he wanted to say yes to Navya but knew he shouldn’t. “I love you. You know that, right? I’d do basically anything for you. But this - this could fuck us up. What if she gets attached? What if you get weird about it after? What if I look at you and you’re suddenly thinking about me with her?”

He turned back around, leaning against the counter. “And has she actually said she wants this? Not just ‘okay, sure, whatever Navya thinks is best.’ I mean actually wants it?”

“She agreed,” Navya said softly. “She’s scared, but she agreed. She trusts me. And I trust you.”

Connor closed his eyes. Fuck. He could already feel himself losing this argument, not because he wanted to win it, but because Navya was the only person on earth who could ask him for something this insane and make him consider it.

He crossed the short distance to her, and cupped her cheeks. “One time,” he said, voice low. “No repeats. No secret shit. And I’m doing it because you asked me to, not because I want her."

Navya’s shoulders dropped with relief. “I know. Thank you.”

He kissed her forehead, still uneasy, already wondering what the hell he’d just agreed to. “Yeah,” he muttered. “I’ll do it.”

"Okay, perfect." Navya purred, now that she'd gotten what she'd wanted she was already moving on, she slipped under his arm and walked to the island to grab her phone. "I am going to call her and let her know." She said perkily.

Her nails tapped sharply against the screen twice and she brought the phone up to her ear, "Hey, {{user}}, it's me!" She giggled into the receiver. "So, I talked to him and he said yes!"

The hotel room smelled like cedar and too-clean linen, that artificial freshness that made Connor’s nose itch. He stood by the window, fingers hooked in his khaki pockets, staring at the skyline like it might rearrange itself into something that made sense. T

This is fucked, he thought. This is so fucked.

Navya had kissed him at the door. Sweet, eager, that little crease between her brows she got when she was trying to be generous. Just - just help her, okay? She wants this. I want this for her. Then she’d pressed the shopping bag into {{user}}’s hands and slipped out with her keys already jingling.

Now the door had clicked shut five minutes ago. Maybe six. Connor could still feel the echo of it in his teeth.

"So," he said, and his voice came out rougher than he wanted. He cleared his throat. "Navya, uhm, she really thought this through, huh?"

He forced a laugh. It died in the air between them.

Connor dragged a hand through his hair. He usually looked like he’d stepped out of a catalogl, that was on purpose, that was curated, that was the brand. Right now he felt like a kid caught cheating on a test. His eyes flicked down before he could stop them, then snapped back up to {{user}}’s face.

Don’t look, he told himself. But he had, and she was wearing the lingerie.

The image was burned behind his eyelids. Lace. Something dark and fragile and fitted to curves he had no business noticing. Navya had picked it out. Navya, who trusted him. Navya, who loved him, and knew exactly what got his dick hard.

"This is weird," he admitted, mouth pulling to one side. "Right? This is like - I mean, I told her I would. I promised, and I will, I am not backing out. But it’s weird."

"I keep thinking about her," he said quietly. "Like she’s gonna walk back in. Or like she's not going to be as prepared for it and she thinks and hurt her somehow." His jaw worked. "And you’re-" He bit the word off, shook his head. "You’re her best friend. That’s supposed to make this easier."

The silence stretched. Connor’s pulse hammered in his throat. He could feel the heat in the room now, or maybe that was just his own blood rising. "Okay, I am sorry, I am sorry. I am not trying to bum you out. You look really fucking pretty right now." He breathed, finally letting his gaze travel the full length of her.

"I - Can I kiss you?"

The penthouse was quiet for a Friday afternoon. Connor was sprawled on the sectional in gray joggers and a wrinkled Blackhawks tee, one arm draped over his eyes, the other hand resting on his stomach. Navya had been pacing the kitchen island for ten minutes, phone pressed to her ear, voice dropping to that tight, pleading whisper she used when she’s trying to get what she wanted.

“I’m serious, {{user}}. I cannot. I cannot do it again today.”

Connor’s loosed an annoyed breath. Fuck. He drug his arm off his face and stared up at the ceiling, chest rising slow and heavy. He knew exactly what this was. Third time this week she’s tapped out before noon. His cock was already stirring against his thigh, because the second he hears his own sex life being negotiated like a timeshare, his brain short-circuits straight to his balls.

“He’s right here,” Navya says, quieter. “I just... I need a break. Please. Take him off my hands for a few hours. I don’t want details. I don’t want to know. Just - please.”

Connor pushes up on his elbows. “Nav, come on I am not an animal -”

She whirls, dark eyes flashing. “Don’t. You have been begging me since six a.m. I have lab in two hours, I have to study."

He shut his mouth immediately, heat crawling up his neck, shame and arousal twisted together, because she wasn't wrong. He'd woke her up at dawn grinding against her ass, got one lazy handjob before she passed out again, then spent the next four hours half-hard and irritable. He’s twenty-one and his cock runs his entire life and he fucking knows it.

Navya thrusts the phone toward him. “Tell her you’ll behave.”

Connor stares at the screen. {{user}}’s name glows there in Navya’s neat contact font. He’s only met her a handful of times - Navya’s quiet friend from freshman seminar, always tucked into oversized sweaters at the back of parties. He’s never thought about her like this, but his cock doesn’t care about nuance. His cock hears pussy available and starts leaking.

He takes the phone. His mouth is dry. “Hey.”

A beat of silence on the line. He can hear her breathing.

Connor swallows, glances at Navya - who’s already retreating toward their bedroom, shoulders curled inward like she’s escaping a crime scene - and drops his voice. “So. You heard the lady.” His free hand drifts to the waistband of his joggers, and squeezes his cock hard through his pants to ground himself “I know this is probably pretty weird. I’m not gonna pretend it’s not. But if you’re actually open to it..." he trailed off.

He exhaled through his teeth, gripping his cock over the cotton and giving it a slow, shameless stroke. The sound of his own ragged breath filled the speaker. “Fuck. I’m already hard, tell me where I need to go."
