The next couple of days proved to be quite awkward for Leah, and she avoided her roommate as much as possible. Everytime she caught a glimpse of him, she was reminded of what had transpired. The dirty, degrading things he had said to her swirled around in her head intrusively. No matter what she did to take her mind off of things, she felt insatiably horny. Her boyfriend Josh was still the opposite, and seemingly couldn't be bothered with anything sexual.
On the next Ethan night, she was surprised when the usually boisterous man made no acknowledgment of their last session together. He still jerked off as usual, but mostly kept to himself and went to sleep without incident. She couldn't help but feel the slightest bit disappointed, but also couldn't allow herself to acknowledge it openly. She half expected he would try to push the boundary further given the things he had mentioned. The sex-starved primitive part of her brain was so ready for him to assert himself, and her pussy drooled at the thought that she was ripe for the taking if he decided to have her. She was within arm's reach, and her inability to control her urges had already been exposed by him. There was absolutely no way she was going to stoop so low as to encourage a repeat of the last time they were in bed together though. It was better this way, she told herself, sneaking a peak at his sexual display. It was weird enough how normalized his masturbation in her proximity had become, let alone her openly joining him again.
Though she convinced herself it wasn't for him, Leah started wearing more revealing outfits around Ethan. She'd pretend not to notice, but she enjoyed the ego boost whenever she caught him eye-balling her. She even began "accidentally" leaving his blanket off of her torso while he jerked off, so he could have a clear view of her considerable cleavage and flat tummy. She opted to remove her bra after getting into bed, rationalizing that it was just for her comfort. It was thrilling to tease him; to know that he was probably undressing her with his eyes while he pleasured himself.
She kept up the act for the most part, scoffing at him disapprovingly when he whipped out his big cock. She'd pretend to scroll on her phone while watching him in her peripheral vision and lightly teasing her pussy under the safety of the blanket. Slowly but surely, she was becoming more comfortable with the ritual and the notion that it was just a bit of harmless fun. She deserved to blow off steam given how deprived she had been lately. As long as they didn't push it any further, she rationalized that she wasn't technically cheating.
Things felt different in the apartment. Josh, though normally oblivious, started to pick up on the strange vibes. His girlfriend seemed to be wearing less clothing, and he thought he saw Ethan checking her out a few times. The two of them seemed to be getting along a lot better, which was a pleasant change, but also slightly concerning. He noticed some kind of electricity between his roommates, though he couldn't put his finger on it. He would ask from time to time how the sleeping agreement was going, and she would always shrug it off as "No big deal".
Josh's anxiety was worsened by the fact that Leah seemed generally upset with him for not trying harder to find employment, and had basically stopped trying to initiate sex after a string of several disappointing trials. They would engage in a daily argument about him being lazy and complacent to be out of work. The disheveled boyfriend inspected himself in the mirror with a frown. It had now been several weeks since he was fired, and he had really let himself go. He'd never been as fit as his more athletic buddy, but used to at least maintain some sort of standard. He knew he had to start taking control of his life again soon, but didn't know if he had the strength to do it, especially with the embarrassment surrounding the truth of his job loss. A truth he had not disclosed to his girlfriend, and the reason why his friend was enjoying her overnight company on a regular basis.
To prove a point, Leah managed to land a part-time job at a retail store. It wasn't ideal, but would at least give her a bit of spending money before her classes started back up. The other plus was that she wasn't stuck in the apartment all day watching her boyfriend do nothing. The responsible thing to do would have been to put the money away and save up for a new place, freeing herself from the absurd sleeping arrangement. Instead, she spent her measly income on new clothes. Her employee discount aided in her rationalizing these purchases. What started out as picking out sensible outfits for her new job quickly devolved into acquiring skimpy workout attire and sexy nightwear. She'd never had the money to spend frivolously and was enjoying the opportunity to treat herself a little.
"Don't look over here." Leah's request escaped her lips despite an internal battle to keep the transparent, attention-seeking comment to herself. She carefully removed her day clothes to reveal a particularly risque nightie she had picked up that afternoon. It left little to the imagination, and her toned, but curvaceous figure was on full display.
"Damn, you're asking for it you know..." Ethan said, completely disregarding her plea for privacy as he fished for his manhood.
"I said DON'T look!" She reprimanded him, jumping under the covers for protection. "It's for Josh. I just wanted to try it out and make sure it's actually comfy. Don't get any ideas!" Leah's focus dropped to his crotch, noting that her display had made the man instantly hard.
Ethan gently ran his fingers up and down the impressive length of his shaft while studying the petite woman. The blanket had already conveniently fallen from her chest, and his eyes followed the distinct curves of her succulent tits. The thin, almost transparent fabric seemed to hug them perfectly, and he yearned to see more. He decided though, that patience was key. His conservative approach had been working wonderfully, and he needed to play his current hand a little bit longer.
"Ugh. Now you're probably thinking really inappropriate things about me. I knew I shouldn't have worn this..." Leah knew how obvious the act was, but her lust clouded her judgment.
"It's pretty hot. I'm sure Josh will enjoy it," he replied simply, still jerking off. He watched her cute nose flare ever so slightly at his unwillingness to take the bait.
She can still enjoy the show, but it's not FOR her until she submits more
. He grinned arrogantly, eventually finishing himself off and unceremoniously cleaning up.
"You're so obnoxious," Leah muttered, turning away from him. The young girlfriend fell asleep more frustrated and unsatisfied than ever.

The following night, Ethan returned home with an assortment of alcohol and insisted the group play drinking games together. They started with a simple card game, and within an hour each of them was feeling the effects of the potent liquid. The trio erupted in surprise and laughter as Josh flipped the final card, indicating that he would have to drink from the large glass they had been contributing to throughout the game. The intoxicated boyfriend winced as he tipped the foul mixture into his mouth, his roommates cheering him on. He managed to chug the entirety of it, gaining an applause from the group as he triumphantly slammed the glass to the table. His clumsy act caused Leah's drink to fall over, splashing her clothes with the sugary substance.
She shrieked and jumped up from her chair while Josh stumbled to the kitchen for a towel. Without thinking it through, she hurriedly pulled off her top and shorts right there in the living room. Ethan's eyebrows shot up as he drank in the sight of his sexy roommate, suddenly in nothing but an exquisite set of lacy, black underwear. She patted the material all over, checking that it was dry.
"Woah-What're you doing!?" Josh stammered as he realized his girlfriend had become half naked in front of their roommate.
"What? I - I didn't want my new underwear to get stained!" The woman was clearly intoxicated and uninhibited. She shot Ethan a glance, momentarily grasping the fact that she was exposed, and the hunger in his expression sent a tingling sensation from her nipples to her pussy.
"Well okay, but - shouldn't you cover up now?" He suggested nervously.
"I dunno... It feels kind of nice! Don't I look good?" She asked her boyfriend playfully. She was experiencing quite a thrill from showing off her body.
"Yeah, you look great, but..." Josh looked over at Ethan, swallowing the lump in his throat.
