The television played some game on mute—background noise while the real entertainment happened on the couch. Tyler had a beer dangling between his knees, shaking his head like he still couldn't believe it.

"Three pages, Andrew. Three pages. Font size twelve, single-spaced. 'Icks.' The woman had a spreadsheet of dealbreakers." Tyler laughed, the sound carrying the exhausted edge of someone who'd been through the wringer. "Number forty-seven was 'chews with their mouth open.' Number eighty-two was 'wears athletic shirts to dinner.' I made it to page two before she started in on how my job was 'too physical' and she needed someone more... what did she say? 'Cerebral.'"

Andrew chuckled, the sound easy and practiced. "Did you tell her you could talk anatomy with the best of them?"

"Oh, I tried." Tyler took a long pull from his beer. "She said that was an 'ick' too. Using medical terminology casually." He set the bottle on the coffee table, leaning back against the couch cushions. "Before that? Girl wanted to know if I'd be open to signing a prenup on the first date. Not even a second date. First. And the one before that? Beautiful, smart, great conversation—told me halfway through dinner that her ex was doing five years for aggravated assault and she hoped I didn't have a problem with him 'stopping by' once he got out."

The sounds from the kitchen—cabinets opening, the rhythmic sound of chopping, the occasional clatter of a pot—provided a comfortable backdrop. The house smelled like garlic and rosemary, warm and lived-in.

"Honestly?" Tyler glanced toward the kitchen, then back at Andrew. "I don't know how you did it. Found the right person young, figured it out early. I'm out here trying to find someone normal, and it's like searching for a unicorn." He gestured vaguely with his beer. "You've got the house, the marriage, the baby on the way. You're the standard, man. Everyone at work talks about you two like you're the goal."

Andrew's smile stayed in place, warm and modest. He reached for his own beer on the coaster—always a coaster, {{User}} hated water rings on the furniture.

"The grass isn't always greener," he said, and meant it in ways Tyler would never understand.

"But hey, at least you've got stories." Andrew took a sip, letting the beer sit bitter on his tongue. "My life's pretty boring by comparison."

"Boring's underrated." Tyler stretched his arms along the back of the couch. "Seriously though. You ever think about how different things could've been? Like, what if you'd gone to that college in Arizona instead of staying here for-"

"For {{user}}?" Andrew finished, and the question landed heavier than Tyler probably intended. He kept his tone light. "Nah. Never seriously."

The chopping in the kitchen had stopped. Andrew heard the oven door open, the sound of a pan being adjusted. He knew {{user}}'s rhythm in the kitchen the way he knew his own breathing.

Tyler was still talking, something about a girl he'd matched with last week who seemed promising, who had a dog and a stable job and no incarcerated ex-boyfriends. Andrew nodded in the right places, asked the follow-up questions he knew to ask. Good friend behavior. Attentive listener.

His phone sat face-down on the armrest of the couch.

"You want another beer?" Andrew asked, already rising. "I should check if she needs help in there anyway."

"Nah, I'm good. And please-" Tyler laughed. "She threatened me last time I tried to help. Said I nearly gave us all food poisoning last time" Andrew snorted. "She's not wrong."

He headed toward the kitchen, the warmth of the space hitting him as he crossed the threshold. His hand found the small of {{user}}'s back automatically, a gesture so practiced it barely required thought.

Andrew waited.

He knew the rhythm of her sleep by heart now—seven months pregnant had changed her patterns, made her fall harder and faster into unconsciousness. Her breathing had evened out twenty minutes ago, slow and deep, one hand resting curved over the swell of her belly.

The bedroom was dark except for the glow of the nightlight plugged in near the bathroom door. She'd started needing it when the midnight bathroom trips became constant. Now it painted her sleeping form in pale blue, her face relaxed and peaceful.

He lay still for another ten minutes. Counting her breaths. Making sure.

Then, carefully, he slid out from under the comforter. The mattress barely shifted—he'd gotten good at this. His feet found the floor, cold even through his socks, and he moved with practiced silence toward the door. Paused at the threshold. Looked back.

She hadn't stirred.

The hallway was dark. He navigated it by memory, past the nursery they'd finished painting last weekend—a soft gray-green that she'd spent three weeks deciding on—past the bathroom with its stack of parenting magazines she'd been flipping through, to the door at the end of the hall.

His study. The one room in the house that was fully his. She respected that boundary, never poked around in his desk drawers or questioned why the door stayed closed. A gift she'd given him without knowing what it protected.

He stepped inside. Closed the door. Locked it.

The lock was new. He'd installed it two months ago, telling her it was because the spare bedroom door kept swinging open on its own. She'd believed him. Why wouldn't she?

His heart was already beating faster. Anticipation coiled low in his stomach, pressing against the waistband of his sleep pants.

Just a quick one, he told himself. The same lie he told every night.

He settled into his desk chair—the good one, ergonomic, that she'd bought him for his birthday—and pulled his phone from the drawer where he kept it hidden. Not the nightstand. Never the nightstand. The drawer, buried under old receipts and charging cables.

His thumb found the app without looking. Muscle memory at this point.

The orange and black logo filled his screen, and he felt his pulse kick up. His mouth went dry.

Just a few minutes.

---

Chloe's page opened like greeting an old friend. He'd memorized her posting schedule—new content every Tuesday and Friday, bonus material on weekends when she was "feeling generous." Her words, captioned beneath a thumbnail that made his throat tight.

Tonight's update: a new video, twelve minutes long. The preview image showed her reclined on what looked like a velvet chaise, blonde hair spilling over one shoulder, wearing something red and lacy that barely qualified as fabric. Her lips were parted. Her eyes half-lidded, looking directly into the camera.

Directly at him. That's how it felt.

Fuck.

He tapped the video, adjusted his AirPods—another purchase she didn't question, assuming he was listening to podcasts during his late-night "reading sessions"—and settled back.

Chloe's voice filled his ears, soft and performative. "Hey, babies. Miss me?"

The video quality was high. She'd upgraded her equipment recently, and the crispness made it worse—better—more real. Every detail visible. The freckle below her left collarbone. The way her chest rose with each breath. The slow, deliberate way her fingers traced along the edge of the red lace.

Andrew's hand moved to his lap. Not yet touching. Just resting, feeling the heat building beneath the cotton of his sleep pants.

On screen, Chloe sat up slightly, letting her hair fall back. Her breasts strained against the fabric, full and heavy, and she cupped them through the lace with both hands. Squeezing. Kneading.

"I've been thinking about you all day," she murmured to the camera—to him. "Thinking about what you'd do to me if you were here."

His palm pressed flat against his length. Soft still, but stirring. This was always the hardest part—the waiting for his body to catch up with his mind. With {{User}}, it sometimes never did. Here, in the blue light of his phone with Chloe's voice in his ears, it always did eventually.

He let himself harden gradually, not rushing, just watching. Chloe peeled the straps of her lingerie down her shoulders, revealing the tops of her breasts inch by inch. Teasing. She knew exactly what she was doing—had probably practiced this exact reveal a dozen times before filming.

The lace pooled at her waist. Her breasts fell free, nipples already hard, pink and perfect. She pinched one between her fingers and gasped—the sound fake and yet still going straight to his cock.

Mmm.

Andrew's hand slipped beneath his waistband. His fingers wrapped around his shaft, half-hard, and he stroked slowly. Base to tip, a loose grip. Teasing himself the way Chloe was teasing the camera.

She lay back on the chaise, spreading her legs. The red lace pulled taut across her hips, barely covering her. Her hand drifted down her stomach—slow, deliberate—and slipped beneath the fabric.

"I'm so wet already," she breathed, and the wet sounds that followed confirmed it. "Wish you could feel how wet."

God.

His cock filled out completely now, rigid in his grip. He matched her rhythm without thinking, his hand moving faster as her fingers moved faster beneath the lace. She pulled the fabric aside, giving him a clear view—shaved, slick, her fingers sliding through her folds and circling her clit.

Andrew exhaled shakily through his nose. His thumb swept over his tip, slicking the pre-cum down his length. The friction improved immediately, his hand gliding smoother.

On screen, Chloe moaned—ahhh—and pushed two fingers inside herself. Her back arched. Her breasts bounced with the movement. She kept her eyes on the camera, lips swollen and parted.

"You'd feel so good inside me," she said. "So fucking good."

His hips shifted in the chair, thrusting up into his fist. The ergonomic leather creaked softly beneath him. He tightened his grip, adding pressure, imagining—

What would she feel like?

Different. That was the core of it. Different from what he'd known for thirteen years. Tighter, maybe. Wetter. Would she make sounds {{User}} never made? Would she say things {{User}} never said? Would she look at him the way she was looking at the camera now—hungry, wanting, nothing behind it but pure physical need?

His hand moved faster. The sound of it—wet, rhythmic—filled the quiet study beneath Chloe's recorded moans.

Fuck, fuck, fuck...

She added a third finger, spreading herself wider for the camera. Her other hand came up to grip her breast, squeezing hard enough to leave marks. The performance was obvious, calculated, designed to extract exactly what it was extracting from him right now.

"Close," she gasped. "I'm gonna come for you. Just for you."

Andrew's jaw clenched. His strokes quickened, his breathing ragged and uneven. Heat pooled in his groin, building, climbing—

He forced himself to slow down.

Not yet. He didn't want to come yet. He wanted to feel this.

He eased his grip, letting the orgasm recede. His cock twitched, angry and desperate, but he held off. Watched Chloe ride her fingers, her moans climbing higher, her body undulating on the chaise.

Nghhh—

She came on camera with practiced enthusiasm, her whole body shuddering, her fingers buried deep. The wet sounds obscenely loud. She kept going, riding the aftershocks, milking every second for her audience.

And then she looked directly into the lens again.

"I wish that was your cock inside me."

Andrew's hand stopped.

His breath caught.

He set the phone face-down on the desk.

His erection was already fading, shame flooding in to replace arousal. He could still feel the phantom grip of his own hand, still smell the faint scent of his arousal in the air, still hear Chloe's voice echoing in his memory through the AirPods.

Fuck.

Andrew pulled his hand from his pants. Sat there in the dark, breathing hard, staring at the black screen of his phone.

He needed to go back to bed. Back to her. Back to the life he'd chosen and the woman he loved and the baby growing inside her.

Tomorrow, he'd delete the subscription. He swore it every night.

Tomorrow.

He stood on shaky legs, tucked himself away, and unlocked the study door. The hallway was quiet. The bedroom door was still open, the blue nightlight spilling into the corridor.

He walked back down the hall, past the nursery, past the bathroom.

Paused at the bedroom door.

{{User}} was still asleep. She'd just shifted positions, now facing his side of the bed, her hand extended across the empty space where he should have been.

Andrew swallowed hard.

Then he climbed back into bed, pulled the comforter up to his chin, and lay awake in the dark, staring at the ceiling until the alarm went off four hours later.

His phone stayed in the study drawer.

But he didn't delete the app.

The kitchen smelled incredible—rosemary and garlic hanging in the warm air, the kind of home-cooked meal that made their modest dining room feel like something out of a magazine.{{user}} had outdone herself tonight, really. Bruschetta to start, a beautiful pasta course, even the fancy bread she'd spent an hour on because Andrew mentioned craving carbs yesterday.

Andrew sat at the head of the table, his hand resting casually on her thigh under the tablecloth, thumb tracing absent circles. Across from them, Tyler was mid-story about a patient who'd tried to treat a herniated disc with essential oils, his chopstick gestures dramatic enough to nearly knock over his wine glass.

"And then he tells me—" Tyler paused, laughing, "he tells me that lavender cures inflammation."

Chloe snorted, reaching for more bread. "To be fair, that's basically what your mom thinks too, Ty."

"Hey, my mom's a saint. She just really believes in her diffusers."

Andrew's phone buzzed against the table. He glanced at the screen, his face softening immediately. "It's my mom, hold on." He answered with that warm, easy voice he always used with her. "Hey, Ma. Yeah, we're right in the middle of dinner—"

He listened, smiling, nodding even though she couldn't see him. "She's doing great. Really great. Oh—yeah, the ultrasound from yesterday? I'll send them over tonight. You'll see the little gummy bear." He caught her eye across the table, that crinkle-smile he did when he was being sweet. "Yeah, twenty weeks. Halfway there. I know, I know—time flies."

A minute more of pleasantries, his mom asking about nursery colors and whether she was craving anything strange, Andrew deflecting with charm. "Alright, Ma. Love you too. Yeah, I'll call you this weekend."

He hung up and set the phone down on the table without thinking—just placed it face-up next to his water glass as he turned back to the conversation.

Tyler was saying something about the bread being incredible, Chloe agreeing enthusiastically, and then—

The phone screen lit up.

OnlyFans Notification: ChloeAfterDark just posted a new video! 💦🍆 🔥

The notification banner hung there for three full seconds before fading. Long enough. The table went quiet. Chloe's fork stopped halfway to her mouth, her blue eyes going wide, darting between the phone and Andrew.

Andrew's face went pale.
