ARCHIE My roommate, Taylor, and I are finally honest about what we want. No more competitions, no more games, no more excuses. Our new arrangement is all about sex — and only sex.
But being roommates-with-benefits isn’t that simple.
In between cooking together, sharing the same bed, and doing all that domestic stuff, our “casual” arrangement starts to feel dangerously close to an actual relationship.
And when jealousy creeps in, things get even more confusing. The worst part? Maybe I was wrong about Taylor. I used to think he was arrogant, cruel and untouchable.
But I’m starting to see a softer side to him. And maybe he cares more about me than he’s letting on… I can’t let myself get attached, because trusting him means giving him the power to hurt me.
But maybe some risks are worth taking…
