Cheating on Kate
by BurroGirl18
Chapter 1
So I have a flatmate. Let's call her...Kate.
We've been friends since we were kids, and talked about moving in together ever since we knew that was an option. So as soon as we went to college, we did it - we got a little flat together, and it's just been perfect. We watch a bunch of TV together, cook for each other, we have the same standards for how clean everything should be, and we're just always *there* for each other.
Well, until she started dating.
I'm Amelia, by the way. I don't really know how to describe myself - sort of the opposite of Kate, in many ways. She's tall, I'm short. She's studying law, I'm studying visual arts. She's really close to her family, I'm not. She's blonde, I'm a brunette. She's flat-chested, I'm busty.
Really busty. Have been since puberty hit. It's a blessing in some ways, a curse in others, but I'm not complaining. I'd much rather have it than not, y'know?
And while Kate is the nicest, sweetest, loveliest girl in the world...I guess I'm the opposite.
But we'll get to that.
I'm not proud of what I did. I should get that out of the way up front. I don't even have a good excuse for why I did what I did - I'd been in a dry spell for a while, but it really goes way deeper. Doesn't there always?
I'm not too modest to admit that I'm attractive. Busty, short, dark hair, dark eyes. An ex once described me as "sultry", whatever that means. And so you'd think someone like me would be able to get laid pretty easily, right?
Yeah, no. I think a lot of guys don't want to approach me because they think they'd have no shot. If only they knew how dirty I was...
Although, if I'm being honest, even *I* didn't know how dirty I was.
Not until Kate got a boyfriend. Let's call him...Luke.
When Kate and Luke had been dating for like a month and a half, they were in their honeymoon period, so he was coming over quite often...and they're really fucking loud.
That is to say, they're really loud at fucking.
It bothered me. Maybe that makes me a bad friend or housemate or whatever, but it did. I hadn't been with anyone in so long, and I'm pretty horny in general, and then overhearing them doing it every other night...
So I'd been kind of going crazy, messaging my ex's. No, not just my ex's - a bunch of boys. Boys I didn't even like, but I knew were really into me. Just for the attention.
I didn't do anything with any of them. Probably because deep down I knew it was a bad idea, but I just couldn't stop myself toying with the idea. Toying with them.
And toying with my toys. I don't have a like, crazy huge collection, but I've got two or three favorites. And thanks to the sound of Luke and Kate every night - sometimes twice a night! - my toys got a real workout. I didn't do anything weird like time my orgasms with hers, but I'll admit I didn't need much else in the way of porn.
Just the sound of my flatmate and her boyfriend was more than enough stimulation.
So there we were. Kate and Luke with each other; me with an overactive libido, a collection of toys, and solicited dick pics from half the guys in my phone book.
And maybe that's where we would have stayed, but my flatmate's boyfriend became less and less discreet as time passed. The more time Luke spent at our place, the more comfortable he made himself. I'd bump into him in the flat, walking around in nothing but a pair of boxers, the outline of his half-erect cock clearly visible through it.
I mentioned it to Kate, and - for the first time since we started living together - we had a fight. A big one. She was like "Why the fuck were you looking at my boyfriend's cock?" and I was like "Um...sorry? Why is HE walking around half-naked with a boner?"
She was so fucking blinded by love that I was blamed for even *mentioning* it.
But after that, I was just like...fuck it. If a guest can walk around half-naked and *I* get in trouble for it, then why can't I make myself comfortable too?
So when I was in the flat, I rarely bothered putting on a bra, or pants. I'd just wear a loose top and panties, like I had when it was just Kate and I.
Part of it was because I didn't want to feel like a guest in my own home...but honestly, part of it was to fuck with Kate. I felt like this relationship had totally changed her - we'd been best friends for so many years, and now she acted like I didn't even exist. If she was going to get mad at me for glancing at her boyfriend's (impressive) cock, I was going to give him something to glance at.
Maybe she'd yell at *him* for it, but I doubted it. He probably wouldn't be stupid enough to let her know where he was looking.
And the other motivation was really just that I was so turned on all the time. I think unconsciously, I wanted to tease Luke. I wanted him to notice me, like I'd noticed him. Like I'd been unable to HELP noticing him, with the orgasms he gave Kate each night.
But I didn't admit that to myself at the time.
I tried not to be super obvious about it. You know, so it seemed natural. Like I'd just grown comfortable with him being around all the time, and didn't even see him as a guy any more, just another flatmate.
He basically was, really. You know how new couples are - he'd started to spend more and more time at the flat, even when Kate wasn't here.
At the start they'd arrange their dates ahead of time, so I'd only get to see him for a few minutes before they either went out...or went into Kate's room. I definitely HEARD him way more than I ever saw him.
But then they passed the relationship threshold or whatever, and hit the point where he'd just pop in whenever he felt like it. If Kate wasn't home, he'd just wait for her. Watch TV, or hang out in her room.
We'd occasionally chat, or watch something together, and I started getting to know him better. I found that he was actually a really cool guy. Not really the kind I'd expect Kate to date, to be honest - he wasn't a douche, but he was definitely...douche-adjacent. Not exactly a meathead, but she was obviously smarter than him.
I don't want to make him out as a jerk or anything. He even apologized to me. Completely unprompted - he just acknowledged that it must have been really tough for me, having a guy in my space all the time. Kate had never done that. If she'd said sorry just *once*, I would have accepted it. I understand being in love and how it changes you, how it makes you just want to spend every second with the guy...but instead, she'd blamed *me* for just wanting to have a bit of privacy.
Anyway, Luke was super nice about it. I told him it was okay, of course. I was totally honest with him - I said that at first it had been weird to have a stranger around all the time, but he was like family at this point and shouldn't worry about it.
Then he asked - out of nowhere - whether they were too loud. God, I swear I went bright red. I've never blushed so hard in my life. I nervously laughed and told him that I couldn't even hear them, but it was so obviously a lie, he immediately saw through it. Through me.
"Sorry," he said with a smile. "I can't control her."
I laughed again, but before I could change the topic, he continued.
"Was she always that loud? Like, with her other boyfriends?"
I felt sooooo uncomfortable talking about that stuff, but I eventually admitted that no, even though she'd never been the quiet type, she'd never been *this* loud with the other guys.
"That's good to hear," he said with a grin. "Not for you, of course. You must find it all really annoying."
Still blushing, I told him that I'd gotten used to it. He said if I ever brought a guy home and felt like making myself heard in the bedroom, I shouldn't hold back.
Honestly, that made me laugh way harder than it should have. Then there was a bit of an awkward pause, but he broke it by apologizing again - "Sorry if I was being inappropriate with that joke," or something like that.
I told him it was okay and we went back to more innocent subjects. I mean, mostly innocent - occasionally when we were talking, it felt a little like he was flirting with me. And I liked the attention.
Like I said, it had been a while. And Luke was hot.
Sooooo I might have flirted back, just a tiny bit. Every once in a while.
Like, he randomly mentioned one time that my legs were really beautiful. Another time, out of the blue, he complimented my flat stomach while I was wearing a crop top. My mind sort of blanked, and I replied - out of reflex - that he shouldn't feel bad about his own abs either.
He pulled up his shirt, flexing his abs. "What? These? Well, I won't complain - Kate has been giving me a good workout routine," he laughed.
I was like "Seriously?" but I couldn't stop staring at his exposed muscles.
Luke wasn't really my type. I've never been into gym bunnies, but damn...I feel like that kind of body is everyone's type, you know?
A little after that talk on the couch, Kate finally apologized too. I could tell that Luke had basically talked her into it, but it still really helped. She was way nicer afterwards, so I didn't mind if it had originally come from him - we even started hanging out more together, all three of us, watching Netflix or playing board games and drinking.
Kate would occasionally bring up the fact that I was a third wheel. Not in a mean way, or like she felt sorry for me. Well, I think she felt a little sorry for me, but it wasn't like that. It was more like she was trying to help. She told me I should find someone so we could have real double dates, and pushed for Luke to introduce one of his friends to me, Sam.
Sam was a nice guy - way more my usual type than Luke - but as soon as I met him, I couldn't help but notice he was a bit of a dork. We had a few forced double dates, but there was no spark. I'd look at Sam, then look across the table at Luke and Kate - even in public, fully clothed, even when we were all together, they were *electric*.
I liked Sam, but I wanted something more like that. I didn't just want to settle, y'know?
One time we were left alone and he tried to kiss me. He was a total gentleman about it though, when I told him he wasn't my type. He was very understanding. We called it a night then and there.
That was the last of the double dates.
Meanwhile, Luke would still give me looks and comments from time to time. Stuff that was borderline inappropriate - I felt awful about it, but I couldn't control myself. More often than not, I ended up teasing him back. Teasing him more. Pushing things further and further, all while trying to, you know, not be found out by Kate.
One time when I knew Kate was working late and Luke would be over, I don't know, I wore this thin white top without a bra. You could see my dark nipples through the material, if you looked closely enough.
Luke looked very closely. He couldn't take his eyes off me.
He tried not to be super obvious about it, but I knew exactly where he was looking. And I might have...leaned over a little too much once or twice. "Accidentally", of course.
I just couldn't stop myself. It was soooo wrong, but it turned me on so much. There was just something *about* Luke. He got me so worked up. And then Kate would come home and they'd fuck, and it would be so loud, and it was so easy to imagine myself in there, under Luke's body, or wonder if he was thinking of me while he fucked my flatmate...
So after a few hours of teasing him in my revealing white top (and getting myself very wet in the process) I went to my room to change, before Kate got back.
And I couldn't help but start touching myself. I tried to be quiet...at first. I mean, masturbation is famously a solo activity, and I think everyone is quiet when they first learn about it. You don't want your family hearing what you're up to.
