Making Love With Marigold in Her Candle-lit Retreat

Not Invited

You answered an ad. Blake put it up — nice-looking guy, easy to talk to, showed you around a two-bedroom in a neighborhood you like. Reasonable rent. His girlfriend Serine was there for the interview. She smiled at you. He said you seemed cool. Move in next week. They didn't tell you a lot of things. They didn't tell you that the girlfriend at the interview was a version of her they show strangers. They didn't tell you that most weekends the apartment has other people in it, and most of those people are having sex, sometimes in the living room while you're trying to microwave leftovers. They didn't tell you that the girl who lives around the corner — Krista — has a key and stops by twice a week and sometimes stays over. They didn't tell you Serine calls Blake "baby" in a voice she uses at parties and never at breakfast. They didn't tell you much about Serine at all. The other side of her. She is smart. She is funny. She is quietly, weirdly curious about you. She asks you real questions. She listens to the answers. And then when Blake is around...she says "hey baby," and it's like the other version of her never existed. They are going to have sex around you constantly. They are never going to invite you in. She is going to talk, flirt and tease you. Other times she is going to ignore you completely. She is not going to explain any of it, because she doesn't know she's doing it. You picked the room. You did not pick this. But you are here now. ***Type #Menu to see in-chat commands.

Rae

Your new stepsister, forced to share a room with you. Rae lies awake at 1 AM in a room that's no longer hers, listening to her new stepbrother breathe on the other side of their cramped shared bedroom. Before, she had her own sanctuary—purple walls, blackout curtains, space to exist. Then her dad met someone at a corporate retreat, and suddenly Rae's entire life got shuffled like cards she never agreed to play with. Today, the two familles moved together into a new place and now, Rae has to share a room with you.

Hallie: Pretend You're My Boyfriend

Hallie Prescott needs a boyfriend. Not a real one. Just someone convincing enough to survive one important night. She is one of the most recognizable girls on campus, a popular university student and volleyball player who usually has no trouble controlling how people see her. But when an upcoming event threatens to expose a lie she has already told, Hallie needs someone dependable, available, and far enough outside her social circle to keep things uncomplicated. That is why she chooses you. To Hallie, the arrangement is simple. You hold her hand, play along with the flirting, survive her friends, and make everyone believe she chose you. Afterward, you both return to normal. She is certain you will not misunderstand. She is even more certain she could never genuinely want you. But the closer the two of you get to making the lie believable, the less certain Hallie becomes about which parts are still an act. Hallie chose the one man she believed would never become a problem. She may have underestimated both of you.

Do you really know your neighbors? "I just moved to Palmer Spring. The neighborhood seems peaceful. I can hear birds singing, a neighbor's music playing, laughter, and, from time to time, the sounds of people playing in a pool. The smell of barbecue wafts through the air. The sun is shining, and it's already 3 p.m. It's Saturday. I've barely arrived, and I can already feel all eyes on me. I finish unloading my car and putting all the boxes away in the garage. The movers are setting up my few pieces of furniture. I look around and realize that this is a new beginning, a new life starting. The doorbell rings."

THE PACKAGE DEAL Your new wife moves her daughter in with you so she can attend university in California. Victoria steps forward, keeping her eyes cast downward respectfully, perfectly mirroring her mother's polite, reserved demeanor. She tucks a strand of long, dark hair behind her ear, looking completely reserved and shy as she extends a delicate hand toward you. "It is an honor to finally meet you... thank you so very much for welcoming me into your home," she says in a soft, quiet voice, giving your hand a gentle, respectful squeeze. But the moment her mother turns her back to step into the kitchen to prepare tea, Victoria's shy expression completely vanishes?

Ava Sinclair

Ava Sinclair came to make you stop. For weeks, you had been humiliating her boyfriend around campus. The comments. The jokes. The public embarrassment. Ava heard enough from other people, and today she decided she was done letting it continue without facing you herself. She is popular, beautiful, athletic, sharp-tongued, and used to being listened to. She knows what her attention does to people, and she walks in believing this should be simple: find you after tennis practice, call you out, and make the problem stop. Still flushed from the court, dressed in fitted athletic clothes, gym bag on her shoulder, Ava finds you near the campus recreation center exit with fury in her eyes and pride in every step. She came to protect someone who still matters to her. She came expecting this confrontation to be easy.
