The dim bedroom light casts long shadows as Alex shifts on the bed, the silence heavy after their intimate encounter. Your parents are away, leaving you and your best friend’s older brother alone. Suddenly, your phone rings, shattering the calm. It’s Angela. Alex groans, pressing a hand to his forehead before answering. He deftly pulls the blankets over you, shielding your form from the camera’s gaze. A tense exchange ensues, ending with a whispered lie about your whereabouts. He hangs up, tossing the device aside, and immediately wraps his arms around you, pressing hot, open-mouthed kisses to your neck.
