Chapter 59 - Secrets, Secrets

Another long day at work.

As 'exciting' as client-side data analytics are, it's always a relief for you when you walk through your door again, the same way you left for work this morning at 6:00 AM. Far too early for your taste, and frankly it should be for anyone with any sense.

You take dinner out of the fridge and place it in the microwave, sitting down on the couch for what feels like the first time all week.

It's only Tuesday.

The thought stings a little as you get back up to silence the beeping microwave, removing your hot meal and starting to eat. You sigh audibly, but there's no one around to ask what's wrong. You've lived on your own for a few years now, since you graduated. You sit back down with your food and look around your studio apartment.

It really isn't bad for someone your age. Plenty of space, a couch in the middle facing the TV, with the kitchen just behind you. The dimly lit kitchen casts a glow onto the opposing corners of the room, illuminating what are perhaps the other most important areas of the apartment. Your bed sits in one corner, just big enough for you to sleep in. And across the room, your desk. Your PC, currently powered off, sits beside it on the floor.

In reality, that's the most important part of this room. This apartment is good enough, but it isn't what you want. You want so much more.

Late evening rolls around and you finish blowing off some steam after a long day at work. Finally you sit down at your desk, preparing to do what you've been thinking about all day.

Streaming is what motivates you. It's why you have a job in the first place. You used your first paycheck to buy a second monitor, and have continuously upgraded your gear up to this point. Making Twitch Affiliate was an enormous step for you, but you know in your heart that you want to go all the way. You want to live the life you see other people living, and you're willing to work for it.

You open OBS, then open the Twitch dashboard in split screen. You take a deep breath, like you always do. You can feel your heart beating, not just because you're nervous, but because every stream feels like your life depends on it. Someday, your big break could come. For now though, it will be another day to grind.

With an unsatisfying, muted click of the mouse you start stream.

In your mind the viewers pour in. The chat lights up like a Christmas tree as people express their excitement just to see you, their readiness to hear how funny and clever you are, or their passion over the game you've chosen. But it never really plays out that way.

You wait a few seconds. A few seconds turns to a minute, and a minute turns to two. The room feels so silent that the air feels solid, like sound can't move through it. With a stiffening arm, you drag your mouse across your screen and open up the game for tonight. As you look over to OBS to verify that the game pops up on stream, you see your viewer count finally increase from 0 to 2.

Thank god.

"Hey everyone, how's it going? We having a good night tonight?" You say excitedly, jumping into character like it's your job. Your viewer count slowly rises, and you know you'll hit the double digits soon, or at least you should. Your follower count is in the thousands, but consistent viewership has not been your best friend.

Chat messages begin to catch your attention as you adjust in-game settings, and you smile as you remember why you are here, sitting in this chair. You love this. You just need to push.

It's one of your slower streams, but you have fun regardless. You switch to a horror game to keep things fresh, and your exaggerated screams earn you lots of viewer interaction. 'RIP neighbors', the chat spams as you yell at the monster chasing you. Several viewers take clips of those moments of the stream, and it feels great to feel so much like a part of a community. Even if that community is currently only 43 people.

After a while longer you sign off, clicking the stop stream button and powering down your PC. The walk across the room to your bed is a bit depressing, and you don't know why. Maybe it feels like admitting defeat, that you still have to be up early the next morning for your real job. That what you just did isn't what you actually do.

You try to shake off the thought before it spirals out of control. You lay down and hit the lights, already dreaming before you get the chance to close your eyes. Dreaming of what your life would be like if you had what you wanted.

If only it were possible.

Another day, another dollar, as they say.

You sit at your desk, scrolling through what feels like an endless wave of spreadsheets. Plug in a number here, search through a document to verify a figure there, it's not terribly difficult work. It's also not very engaging, or creative, or exciting, or fulfilling.

"Fuck me…" you whisper under your breath, letting go an exhale filled with the emptiness of your boredom. Taking your head out of your hand, which has been supporting it for the past half hour, you decide that you know exactly how to fill some time before convincing yourself to get back to work.

Popping in a pair of earbuds, you open the YouTube app and scroll. Even just some noise would make you feel better, as the office you work in is filled only with the sounds of dull banter and meeting-related discussions. After some more scrolling, you find that one of your favorite streamers happens to be live right now. "At 2:00 PM? Weird." you mutter to yourself, tapping on the stream and propping your phone up next to your computer.

"Okayy, bye guys! Thanks for the games, talk to you soon!" You hear Valkyrae's voice as she talks in an excited tone. Her webcam view is sequestered to a small section of the left of her screen, while the majority of what you can see is the loading screen for Valorant, a game you've seen her play with friends.

"Damn, just missed it." You think to yourself as you take your phone back in your hand, minimizing the screen and scrolling through your other subscribed channels as you hear a cacophony of Rae's friends saying goodbye before leaving their Discord call.

You struggle to find something else, but nearly settle for a video you think you'll like when you hear, "Alright chat, now that everyone is gone I do have an announcement! Very important!" You stop for a second, your thumb merely an inch away from exiting out of the stream. Deciding to listen in, you turn your phone horizontal again and watch.

Rae looks excited and nervous, her hands not really finding a good place to settle as she switches her webcam view to full screen and sits back, almost as if to prepare herself. "So chat, I've been talking a bit about how much I love the whole donating to small creators streams, but I thought of something cool that I think might work a little better."

She takes a deep breath, and for some reason you do the same. You're not entirely sure what she's talking about. Since you watch so many different streamers between the activities that take up so much of your day, it's hard to know what's going on all the time with any one of them. You are intrigued though, and being a small streamer yourself makes you think that you have a chance for something here. You just don't know what.

"Okay. Here goes!" Rae says, sighing. You can tell she's nervous about this, so it must be something big. Your heart begins to beat faster, and you wonder if she's just hyping this up until she switches her screen again. Her webcam appears in a corner, and the rest of the screen is taken up by a webpage. Four words in bold draw your eyes to the center of the page.

'Come stream with Valkyrae!'

"What?" You say to yourself, a little too loud.

"There it is!" Rae says, her face flushing a bit. "I want to give a random small streamer the chance to come out to L.A. and be on stream with me. There are so many streamers out there, but if you're good enough then the chance to reach more people is all you need!"

You can hardly believe it, even as she outlines the specifics of how to sign up, the qualifications for who can enter the lottery pool, and how her team will contact you. None of it feels real, but you're watching it right now, in the middle of your office.

Right. Your office. Back to work.

You get home later than you did yesterday, much to your disdain. Lord knows you don't get paid overtime. You'd be pissed about it, but you're actually not in the mood tonight. In fact, you're feeling pumped about what you saw earlier today.

You drop your stuff and forego dinner, at least for now. Powering on your PC, you open your browser and jam the URL from Rae's stream into your keyboard.

There's a whole process. You log in to Twitch, add your YouTube channel, and then the site starts loading. When that's done, it asks for access to your analytics info, which you're hesitant about. If you hadn't seen the site on Rae's stream, you'd be more worried about your data being stolen. In fact, you quickly check the URL just to make sure nothing seems fishy.

After verifying everything, you happily submit your analytics. They're decent as far as concurrent viewership and chat rates for your streams, and some of your videos have even gone somewhat viral. Despite your small successes, you still feel your heart jump in your chest as you click the final submit button.

It's done.

You breathe a sigh of exhaustion and relief as you get up to make yourself dinner.

Laying in bed later that night, you stare up at the ceiling. Your mind begins to wander again, as it always does, and doubt fills your head. "How many other hungry, ambitious content creators entered that lottery? What are the chances I get the one spot?" The thoughts fill your head before you get a chance to shove them down.

Suddenly your phone flashes awake, filling your peripheral vision with bright white light. Nearly throwing the blanket off of you, you stretch an arm quickly to grab your phone. This could be it.

'Your iPhone can not be backed up. Please chec…'

A god damned notification. From the settings app. "Fuck." You sigh as you quickly refresh your email, seeing no new messages appear before setting your phone down and retiring to a night of rest.

"No way I'm that lucky."

Days pass. Days turn to a week. Suddenly it's Friday, two weeks from that eventful and thrilling day. You've checked your phone incessantly, but to no avail. Your view time on Valkyrae's stream has certainly gone up, but she's been pretty tight lipped about it.

"Chat, he is not coming back in here, I swear!" Your voice fills your apartment as your mind races. There are two trains of thought occurring in your head.

On one hand, you are laser focused on your stream. You can almost feel the neurons fire as you push past any nerves you might have and turn a normal video game into what you hope is a hilarious viewing experience.

On the other hand, you can't stop thinking about the lottery to go to L.A. and stream with Valkyrae. Your viewers don't know it, but your phone is right next to you on your desk, only it's not turned off like it normally is. The Twitch app is open, and Valkyrae's stream is playing muted just below your second monitor.

Every few minutes, you can't help but look over and see what is happening. You've been checking every time she goes live, so it's not like you expect tonight to be any different. You just… don't know what to expect. Least of all when to expect it.

The stream timer on your Twitch dashboard ticks over the three hour mark as you begin to think about winding down. You're anxious enough about the lottery, but you think just watching Rae's stream could be nice.

You sit and talk to chat for a bit, responding to messages. Looking at your phone one last time, you decide tonight just isn't the night. You pay full attention to chat, trying to shrug off the feeling of your chest tightening.

"What mic do I use? Honestly I just use the Blue Yeti, it's pretty standard. Thank you for the bits! I really appre—"

Your response is cut off by a sudden lapse in comprehension. Your concurrent viewership of 107 has just shot up to 793, and it's still climbing. You look down at the chat, and your confusion grows.

'omgggg'

'CONGRATS'

'Pog lets gooo'

'You lucky bastard'

'HOLY SHIT'

So many messages, and they're all flooding in at once. For a moment you don't understand, and all you can do is sit back in your chair. "Chat… What?!" you say with disbelief. Your eyes drift down to your phone, and you bring it close to you so you can really see.

In the corner of the screen sits Rae, eyes wide with excitement as a giddy grin takes over her face. As for the rest of the screen, well, it's… Wait a second…

"That's… that's my stream. Oh my god." You mutter to yourself, placing your phone down before pulling Rae's stream up on your computer. You can't believe what you're seeing, and you switch the scene in OBS so your viewers can also see.

"Chat, that's me! Why is she looking at my stream?" You say, exasperation evident in your tone as you unmute her stream. You begin to listen, and your suspicions are verified almost immediately.

"Oh my god, look how surprised he is! That is so crazy, good job chat. Oop, now he's looking at us, it's like a streamception!" Rae giggles as she looks down at her screen, genuine joy glowing from her face. She is a beautiful person, but you never really noticed how good it makes you feel to see her happy.

You wave nervously, trying to field your now thousands of new viewers while also addressing Rae through your stream. She smiles, pulling her microphone a bit closer to her face. "So now that I know you're listening, congratulations! You are the winner of my little contest, and I am officially inviting you out to L.A. to stream with me!"

You pinch yourself, but you are definitely awake. "Wow, I'm so excited! I can't wait for this opportunity, thank you so much." you say, immense gratitude filling your mind where once there was anxiety.

The beautiful streamer smiles sweetly, "Hey, it was all you. That and a little bit of chance. I'm gonna be ending stream in a few but look out for a little more info through your Twitch whispers! Since you didn't respond to the email confirming you won I figured I'd make sure the important stuff went somewhere you'd check."

She is right about that. Not only were you trying to give up obsessively checking your email, but you have no Twitch whisper notifications. Who the fuck uses Twitch whispers? You suppose that's the point.

After bidding Rae adieu and returning to your own stream, you find that many of her viewers have stayed to watch you. On top of that, Rae raids you once she ends her stream. You make sure to put on a show, and end up streaming way longer than you had planned. It's the best night of streaming you have ever had, and waving goodbye to the camera is one of the hardest things you've had to do in a while.

You look over your Twitch dashboard before shutting everything down, and your eyes widen at every number you see. Your follower count has gone from just below 4,000 to just above 10,000. Not to mention the fact that tonight was your highest earning night with subscriptions and pure donations.

You find your whisper messages and see a few notifications. Clicking the icon, you see one highlighted conversation with Valkyrae. "Guess she still has her Twitch account." You think to yourself as you read over the info she's sent your way.

'Hey there! Hope you enjoyed how tonight went, probably a better way to find out you won than an email anyway.

Anyways! Idk what airport is closest to you or works best for you but I want to pay for your flight out here and back, so please don't worry about the logistics. As long as you can get here.'

She includes the date she'd like you to arrive and her address. This is really it, there's no denying it. For shits and giggles you decide to check your email, curious about how the surprise was originally supposed to go. You refresh the page, but what you're met with leaves you concerned.

You have no new emails.

Today is finally the day. Your head pops off your pillow as if you were never sleeping at all, and you smile as you remember that you have a plane to catch.

Since checking your email a few weeks ago, nothing from Rae or her team has come in aside from what she sent you over Twitch. It seems odd, but mixups happen. You haven't thought about it much, and right now all you care to think about is how ready you are for the shot you've been waiting for.

You stare out the window as the plane touches down. The city looks gigantic from up here, like a huge living thing. You wonder how so many people who are so busy can work so well in this environment, but then you remember that eventually that's what you want to do.

Upon landing and leaving the airport, you call an Uber and give the driver the address Rae gave you. You start to realize why she seemed so nervous to do this contest in the first place. She's putting herself in a precarious place by meeting someone in what you assume is her home, but you hope she'll like you and appreciate your talent.

As the car pulls up, you remove your suitcase from the trunk and look out at the house. "My future is in there." You think to yourself, proud for having made it here, even if just by chance.

As the car drives off, your eyes widen in a delayed reaction. "Ohhh shit. I forgot to get a hotel room." You say to no one, distracted enough to forget you're in public. You sigh, hanging your head as you wonder what you'll say. You decide after a few seconds that whatever happens is what's meant to happen. You're already here.

You walk to the front door and knock, taking care to ensure you don't do so too hard. You wait for almost a full minute in front of the large door before it swings open, and a small woman that you recognize gazes up at you with a look of confusion.

"Hey, um… Can I help you?"

Your nerves get the better of you for a second, but you clear your throat and try to come across as cool and collected as possible.

"Hey! Tina, right? I hope I'm not interrupting anything, this was the address Rae gave me. I'm the person she just flew out here."

She looks stunned for a second, then her pale face flushes with what almost looks like embarrassment, but you're not so sure.

"Oh gosh, I'm sorry! I didn't know if you were some creep or something, but yeah come in! Rae is upstairs, but I'll let her know you're here." Tina says in a tone that sounds like her voice is tightening as she closes the door behind you.

You wait in the kitchen as Tina heads upstairs. With a loud string of high pitched "omigod"s, Rae speed-walks downstairs and into the kitchen. Her face lights up when she sees you, and you return her enthusiasm.

"Wow, oh my god it's so great to have you here! I am so happy you won, I've been watching some of your stuff and you are absolutely the type of person I wanted to spotlight today!" You can tell she means it, and the validation from her approval of your content is reward enough on its own.

As she goes in for a hug, you do the same, your arms clasping around her back. She is warm and full of energy, you can feel it. "I'm so glad to be here, I'm ready to do whatever you have planned." You reply as she gives you a light squeeze before breaking away.

Rae leads you upstairs, then stops you at the beginning of the long hallway. "Oh! Let me just make sure my room looks okay, alright? Gimme one second!" She says as she runs into her room, leaving you out in the hall for a few minutes. You tap your foot a bit, patiently waiting. However as you wait, admiring the number of rooms someone managed to fit into one hallway, a curious sound draws your interest.

It sounds like a cat from where you're standing, but as you walk past some of the rooms you begin to hear it more clearly.

"Mm… Oh fuck, yeah. Right there… Ohh…"

Your eyes widen as you stop next to the doorway, a twitch in your pants confirming exactly what you think is going on. You look back to the door Rae walked in, ensuring she isn't there, before allowing yourself to be overcome by lustful curiosity and peeking through a crack in the doorway.

Your jaw practically drops as you see a beautiful, slender woman with long, dark hair laying back on her bed. Her head is thrown back in ecstasy, and her fingers are furiously working between her legs. What's more though, is that she is wearing nothing at all. You are watching Kkatamina get herself off in her own room, and now you know you can't look away.

Miyoung reels from what must've been an orgasm for a few seconds as your eyes behold every inch of beauty. Her tits bounce a little as her hand moves, and you watch as her fingers begin to lose any sense of grace as they circle her sensitive clit faster and give way to a more depraved, needy pace.

She looks up from her splendor, her eyes looking down at her wet pussy as she begins to stick finger after finger inside, moaning with longing as she takes each one. As her head jerks suddenly from the feeling of a third finger inside her, she catches your eye and freezes.

Making complete eye contact with the masturbating streamer now, shock paralyzes you as you consider apologizing in a split second, or even coming up with an excuse.

Instead, you stand still as Miyoung slowly squints at you, then smiles devilishly. She resumes where she left off, but now she puts on a show as she uses her free hand to grasp desperately at her perky tits. She takes her fingers out of her pussy, holding them up in the light for you to see the juices dripping from each one, and you watch as she slowly sucks each one clean.

"Okay, I'm ready! You can come in now!" Rae shouts from her room. You're immediately thankful that she isn't watching what you're doing right now, because surely she'd hate this. You watching her roommate masturbate after you were invited to their home to stream.

"Coming!" You say quickly, stepping away from the door just enough so you can still see Miyoung, who smirks at your wording. She puts a finger to her lips, a teasing grin peeking out underneath. "Shhh." She winks as you nod tentatively before walking away and stepping into Rae's room.

"What was that?" You wonder to yourself as you walk towards Rae's room.

Obviously Miyoung wasn't expecting an audience, that much is clear. Despite that, you can't help but feel like this is worth checking back in about. Like she was excited by what just happened.

You wonder if you'll have enough time in L.A. to even talk to her.

Walking into Rae's room, your mind still swims with images of Miyoung's legs spread apart, her glistening pussy on full display as she put on a show just for you. You're still hard just thinking about it…

"Welcome! It's still kind of a mess, but here's my room!" Rae says brightly, interrupting your rather distracting stream of consciousness.

You jump a bit as she clears your brain fog and try your best not to shift too much and make the bulge in your shorts too obvious.

"It looks great. I just appreciate you having me, I'm lucky to be here." You look around, then look down at your hostess. Looking into her eyes is almost like looking into those of a fearsome cat, except this lioness looks up at you with a face of curiosity and joy. Up close, you can really appreciate that Rae is athletic, strong, and motivated, but also pretty damn cute.

Rae claps her hands, snapping you back into your body. "So! I was thinking, maybe today we shoot a video for your channel. You can use my name in it as much as you want, I just wanna give people a chance to see you!"

As she explains she walks towards her desk, and your eyes are drawn to her toned ass that moves with each step. Her tight shorts emphasize her figure, but you can tell that even without any help from clothing, Rae is fit and sexy as they come.

This is not helping the hard-on situation.

She turns to you, and you clear your throat, remembering quickly what she just said. "Yeah, that sounds great! There's actually a couple ideas I have for upcoming videos, I could run a few by you if you want."

She smiles and sits down, her gaming chair fitting to her form. From a corner, she pulls another chair just like it, one you hadn't noticed before. "Damn, these L.A. streamers do have money." You think to yourself, realizing how expensive the chair must be. Before you can give it another thought, you sit down.

"Oh my god, you were so close!" Rae yells, watching you play a game on her computer for the video as her expensive looking camera looks down over her monitor at the two of you.

"Damn. Let's see if you can get closer!" You say, giving Rae the controller. Your mind is on that double track thing again, which is really inconvenient because you feel like you're on the precipice of your entire career, and the chance of losing it all.

On the one hand, you are hyper focused on making this video. You are matching Rae's energy, which you've found to not actually be too difficult compared to what you already do in your own videos. You're playing the game, you're cracking jokes, you're doing everything you can think of to make this a success.

On the other hand, it's only now been 20 minutes. The sound of Miyoung's moans still rings in your ears as your mind replays those dirty memories as if to blind you. Your erection has gone down, but only slightly. It doesn't seem like it's giving up without a fight, and you don't know when you'll have a chance to run to the bathroom.

Rae fiddles with the controller, moving it side to side with exaggeration as she bites her bottom lip, focusing on the game. In her intensity, her finger pushes in on one of the joysticks, catching it and causing the controller to slip out of her hands and onto the floor beneath the desk.

"Oh whoops, hold on!" She shouts as she comically dives from her chair under the desk, scrambling for the controller in a way that the sound might come across to the microphone. You try to feign play disappointment for the video, laughing silently as you put your fingers to your forehead, but your eyes don't close.

Rae's ass is even more perfect from this view. Her desk is so big that she is on all fours trying to get back towards the wall to grab the controller, and seeing her bent over like this is driving you even crazier than you thought you already were.

"Gosh Rae, you find anything yet?" You chuckle, keeping your personality up for camera as she reaches back and grabs hold of the controller.

"I sure di—" she whips her head around under the desk to crawl back out, but immediately her eyes come face to face with the tent that is currently being pitched in your somewhat loose fitting shorts. She looks up at you, and in a moment of confidence you maintain eye contact. Gotta keep up the bit, after all.

She looks confused at first, but after a few seconds she looks back down at your growing bulge and smirks. Your eyes widen, and you have to mentally remind yourself what's happening.

"Anything I can help you with down there, Rae?" You ask, trying to gauge the situation. You know this isn't live, but an editor is gonna see this. That person will decide what the public sees, and you're in too deep now.

"Actually I think I bumped my head or something, can we pause the recording to take a quick break?" She asks, though you know damn well she did not bump her head. She's stopping the video for a reason. What have you gotten yourself into?

"Uh, yeah sure." You oblige immediately, reaching for the computer mouse and clicking the stop recording button. The red light on her camera stops flashing, but Rae is still under the desk.

Before you get the chance to look down from the recording program, you feel a hand against your cock that causes a tingling sensation to shoot through you. You gasp, quickly looking down at the familiar face beneath you.

Rae rubs your solid bulge over your shorts, feeling the length with her delicate hands as she allows her fingernails to trace the impressions where it is evident that your body longs to be freed.

"You seem pretty excited about something." Rae says, her voice changing a bit from the high excitable tone to a cool, sultry tone. "It wouldn't happen to be me, would it?" She says, her hands moving now to the waistband of your shorts.

Without thinking, you lift your body ever so slightly, allowing her to pull your shorts and boxers down and off of you. She looks mesmerized as your hard cock hangs there, inches from her face. "Holy shit. I guess we both hit the lottery."

Your breath hitches as you watch this beautiful woman, a streamer you've followed for years now, take your cock in her hand and slowly jerk up and down. Her touch is warm, and the heat emanates from her smooth skin to every nerve that she touches.

She speeds up her pace a bit, watching as precum collects at the tip of your cock. "Hmm, looks like you are excited for me. I think I can help you with that." She leans down, her back arching as she lets her hands hold her torso up from the floor.

Slowly letting go of her gentle demeanor from before, she lets her face sink between your legs as your girth fills her mouth. The warm, wet feeling of her bobbing up and down causes you to crane your neck back in pleasure. It's a good thing the door to this room is actually closed.

As you groan intermittently from Rae's mid-recording blowjob, you begin to hear her moaning along with you. Looking down, you can see that she's lifted a hand off the floor and has snuck it into her shorts. As she plays with herself, her muffled moans vibrate through your hard cock, making it all feel even better.

"I'm gonna cum." You whisper, placing a hand on the back of Rae's head. She looks up at you, her eyes holding contact with yours, but her focus on pleasing your thick rod never wavering. The quiet slurping noises give way to soft gagging as you begin to push her further down on your cock than she is able to get by herself.

You can tell this excites her, as with every new inch of you that becomes coated in her saliva, Rae appears to be quickening the pace of her own stimulation.

Unfortunately, watching this beautiful woman masturbate so vigorously with your dick in her mouth is too much to handle after the day you've had. Without another word you press down on Rae's head and thrust your cock deeper, letting out a thick load of warm cum into her mouth.

As she pulls away from your cock and stands back up next to you, you begin to wonder if you've just made a terrible mistake. You turn to Rae, trying to figure out what just happened in the clarity of your own orgasm.

"Rae, I wasn't sure if you were—" Now you're cut off mid sentence as you watch her sit in her chair, her mouth still full. With one show of effort, Rae swallows your entire load. "Holy shit." You say, not exactly meaning for it to be out loud.

She beams at you with satisfaction. "Well, I sure needed that. Work gets stressful sometimes if you don't take breaks, you know?"

You nod, dazed. "If the breaks you take are all like that, then I don't think I'd ever start working again."

She giggles, her pearly white teeth gleaming with another giddy smile. "Well obviously I don't usually do that. But maybe I ought to more often." She winks at you, or at least you think.

Turning back to the computer monitor, Rae places the controller onto the desk. "Now what do you say we get back to work? I really like where that video was going."

Now that you're thinking straight again, the video is smooth sailing. You have a blast with Rae, and you find that your chemistry on camera is better than you would've expected.

After the first recording ends she exhales, taking a prolonged look at her recording software before closing it. "What do you say we do a couple more? I'm having a lot of fun." She turns to you only halfway, as if nervous to hear your response.

How could you possibly say no to her?

"And subscribe to this guy, he's amazing and I'm so happy he came out to L.A. today!" Rae says, grabbing your shoulders and giving them a little shake. You chuckle and smile back at her, nearly forgetting the camera is there.

Time almost slows down for a moment, and you think you catch a glimpse of something in her eye as her gaze meets yours in that fraction of a second. At least, you hope so.

She really is beautiful.

"Well sub to Rae too, we support all kinds of small content creators." you tease playfully. She raises an eyebrow, then looks down at her feet. Her head whips back up to look at you, her mouth wide open to feign being offended.

She lightly smacks you on the arm, "I am not that small! Edit that out!" You both laugh at the silly moment.

"No but for real, give this video some love. Maybe if it does well enough, Rae and I can collab again?" you say with a mixture of outright confidence and slight timidity. You are very lucky to be where you are already, but this has been such a good time and more chances to work with Rae would mean so much for your career and for you in general.

You just hope you aren't pushing your luck, which if the concept of luck is to be believed, has likely all been spent on the events that brought you to this moment.

Rae looks surprised, but not in a bad way. She looks... impressed. "Yeah, absolutely! I'd love that." she says to you, not the camera. Relief washes over you as the two of you wave goodbye to the camera and wrap on what is now your fourth video of the day. You both decided halfway through to do two for each of your channels, and it's been a great time.

Speaking of time, you check the clock at the bottom right of Rae's monitor. "Holy shit, it's almost 8:30." you think to yourself. Suddenly another realization passes over you, and you freeze up. You never did find a hotel in time. You have nowhere to stay out here.

Of course you had intended to find a hotel to stay in, but this is L.A. for god's sake. Maybe if you had a bit more notice that you had won the contest you could have found somewhere, but by the time you found out you were left with only a couple weeks to figure out getting off from work, how to get to the house, and everything in between.

Rae probably could've done it for you like how she paid for the plane, but maybe she was waiting for you to respond to that email she supposedly sent you before she raided your stream. You still don't know where that email ended up, or if she even actually sent it.

But that issue is for another day. For now, you try to work out what to say to Rae.

"Uh, hey Rae?" you ask, causing her to turn towards you in her chair. She looks at you with expecting eyes, "What's up?"

"I really don't mean to be difficult, but I sort of just realized this." She cocks her head a bit, unsure of where you're going with this.

"I meant to book a hotel when I found out I won, but I couldn't find anything in the city and I wasn't sure what to do I didn't want to make you reschedule so I just came anyway, but I sort of don't have a place to stay here tonight." You slowly get out the last bit, somewhat embarrassed.

Rae laughs, "Ohh, I thought you were gonna say something crazy. You can stay here!"

You sit back, stunned. " I can?"

Rae smirks at you, "Yes silly. If I thought you were too sketchy to stay here I would've just cut our recording session at one video, but I didn't. I had a lot of fun today, and I think you're great. Besides, maybe if you stay here we can have a bit more fun later?" She places a hand on the outside of your thigh, and you feel a familiar twitching sensation.

"Definitely. Of course I'll stay here." you say, not needing to give it a second thought.

"Eek! Yay! Okay, I'm gonna go tell Leslie that we're ordering dinner for five tonight." she says as she stands and steps away from the desk. As she passes you, she leans down to your ear and whispers softly, "Hope you don't mind sharing a bed."

Matching the devilish smile she wears on her face, you turn your chair to briefly meet her eye-line as she turns away and saunters out the door. However it doesn't take long for your smile to turn to fade to a stern look as across the hall, you see a pair of eyes peer in at you from behind a door as Rae passes by unknowingly.

Evidently, Miyoung hasn't forgotten what happened earlier that day. Frankly, neither have you.

You drag your suitcase into Rae's room, setting it down at the foot of her bed. The bed you'll be sleeping in tonight. You shrug to yourself at the sheer absurdity of it all, but you don't exactly mind.

You can hear the girls downstairs, or at least some of them. You heard Miyoung leave her room shortly after Rae did. You haven't seen Tina since you got here, and you've still yet to meet Leslie.

You leave the room and walk to the end of the hall towards the stairs when a door nearly opens in your face. You stop abruptly, a sharp "Woah!" escaping your lips in a knee jerk reaction.

A shocked face peeks around the door before the door closes to reveal who just opened it.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry! I was just going downstairs to let everyone know that the food is almost here, and I didn't hear anyone outside but if I'd heard you I totally wouldn't have done that. Speaking of which who are you?"

You reach a cordial hand out to her, and she shakes it. "I'm a guest of Rae's, we just shot a couple videos together. It's really cool to meet you Leslie, I love your stream."

Leslie blushes a bit, seemingly surprised that you recognize her. "What, me? Nahh, that's nothing." She laughs awkwardly, her face reddening endearingly. "But you, I have heard from Rae about you! She was excited to have you here, I hear you'll be on her stream tomorrow."

You nod, "Yup! Looks like I'm staying the night until then though."

Leslie tilts her head with curiosity. "Oh really?"

Suddenly Tina and Miyoung appear at the bottom of the stairs. "Leslie, we're hungry." Miyoung whines, Tina's big cute eyes reflecting the same sentiment.

"Oh yeah! Food is 2 minutes away!" Leslie shouts as she runs down the stairs. She stops at the bottom and turns to you, "Well, are you coming?"

"And that's pretty much what I do. It's not too exciting, nothing like this anyway." You say between bites of your dinner. You sit at a table in the dining room between Rae and Tina.

"Well, it seems nice. Quiet and all. Sometimes I wish what we did was more like that." Tina says, looking over at you.

"Yeah, L.A. is pretty crazy. Things get pretty stressful with all the people and all the work, even if it is fun. And it feels like there's no down time." Miyoung replies from across the table.

You nod in understanding, knowing that the life these women live is difficult regardless of how much you want the same for yourself. They seem to appreciate that.

Miyoung seems fairly normal as you continue to make conversation, and you start to wonder what's going through her head. If she's really so curious about you, she's doing a hell of a job not showing it now.

Rae turns to you after some time, "Oh by the way, I checked in with everyone and it is totally cool for you to sleep over." She seems excited, and you feel the same.

Looking over the other three roommates, they all nod in perfectly normal agreement.

Leslie is the first to get up from the table. "Alright people, I've got a late stream. Goodnight!" She says as she walks to the stairs.

Miyoung follows suit, shrugging as she watches Leslie go. "I need to get my hours up. I'll see you around." She says the last part as her eyes drift to you before she turns to leave.

"Rae were you gonna stream tonight? I thought it was just Leslie." Tina asks, cleaning up after herself.

"Nah, I was saving that for tomorrow. Weird though, I thought Miyoung liked to take a day off during the week. Oh well."

Rae gets out of her chair and throws away her trash. "I think I'm gonna go to bed soon. You don't have to, but just so you know I'll be in there." She says to you before walking up to her room.

Tina waits until she's gone to say something. "Sleeping in her room, hm?" Caught off guard by her question, you feel embarrassed.

"Uh, yeah I guess I am. Is that weird?" You ask, not wanting to seem too onboard with it.

"Not if she's okay with it. Rae's got a nice bed." Tina says with a shrug. You can see out of the corner of your eye that she's looking at you even after she's finished speaking, but you can't tell why. You're not exactly at the level of familiarity where you can comfortably turn around and go 'Hey Tina why are you looking at me?' so you just sit there until she leaves.

You sit alone at the table, deciding eventually to scroll through your phone. The first of the videos you took with Rae today should be uploaded in a few days, but you can't wait to see it. Today was amazing.

A couple hours pass. Whether it's the jet lag or the change of time zones or just the pure excitement, something is keeping you awake. When you see the clock turn to 1:00 AM on your phone though, you decide to force yourself to get some sleep.

Walking upstairs quietly, you can hear Leslie's stream still going. You wonder how much longer she'll be going like this, but you're also impressed by how quiet she sounds through the door for how loud her tone sounds.

What you don't hear, however, is Miyoung. For someone who needs more hours of streaming, you figured you'd hear her voice at the end of the hall. To your confusion, all appears silent except for Leslie, who sounds like she's once again defending her showering habits.

The floor creaks a bit, but you make it to Rae's room and gently close the door behind you. The lights are out, leaving you with minimal visibility as you try to navigate the large bedroom. You remember what corner the bed is in, so you attempt to not stumble your way over.

Your hands feel through the dark just below your waist for the blankets, and eventually you find them. Deciding to stick with your t-shirt and shorts out of respect for Rae, you reach your hands upward to find the beginning of the comforter so you can slide under.

Immediately you grab hold of a handful of the comforter, but it is not the handful you were expecting. As your irises start to adjust to the darkness and your sense of touch provides you with context, you realize that you are gently grabbing onto Rae's breast. She appears to only be wearing a loose fitting t-shirt over them.

You remove your hand right away, not wanting to startle her as you now lay yourself next to her, understanding where the bed begins thanks to the new knowledge of where Rae is.

You lay on your back at first, not wanting to disturb Rae, but eventually you give in to comfort and roll onto your side. Even facing away from Rae, you can still hear the soft rise and fall of her breath. You close your eyes, soothed by a sound you think you could listen to all night.

After a few minutes, something interrupts your attempt to sleep as you feel a gentle touch. You don't move at first, but something between your legs stirs. You feel the muscles in your hips tighten as you try not to involuntarily thrust forward, but the feeling is undeniable. Rae is rubbing your cock.

Her hand slides under your waistband and finds what it's really looking for, wasting no time before grasping your shaft and stroking it up and down. You groan in response, unable to withhold your pleasure.

You feel Rae slide closer to you from behind, her warm body now pressed against you in the bed. She leans in to your ear, hot breath filling the quiet air. "What we did earlier wasn't enough. I want you, right now."

Your breathing begins to grow heavier as you feel her leg swing over yours and her other arm wraps around you to feel your chest. She kisses your neck, and you are lost in the feeling for a moment. At least until you decide it's her turn.

Breaking away from her grasp, you tear the blankets off of the both of you. Whipping your shirt onto the floor, you climb on top of Rae and kiss her passionately, putting a hand to her face and feeling her do the same to you.

Her lips are soft, and you close your eyes to bask in the sensation of this moment as your tongue intertwines with hers. She softly moans into your mouth, anxious for more.

You don't hesitate to give it to her as you break the kiss, positioning yourself further down on the bed as you look at Rae's clothing for the first time.

She was wearing only panties and a shirt this whole time.

You eagerly take hold of her panties and slide them down and off of her, allowing her to lift her legs as you do so. Slowly, you kiss your way down her inner thigh, causing her to moan longingly.

"Please, do it. I need it." She whispers, her eyes closed with anticipation.

You see an opportunity here. "You need what?" You ask authoritatively, your mouth now inches from her pussy.

"I need you to make me cum, please baby. Please get me nice and wet so you can fuck me." She reaches a hand down to rub her clit, but you grab her arm and deny her the chance to pleasure herself.

Without another word, you dive in. Rae moans loudly as she's caught off guard by the feeling of your tongue flicking between her folds. Her legs spread wide, but almost immediately clasp around your neck to ensnare you where you are.

You alternate between sucking on her clit and licking her most sensitive areas, something she seems to be enjoying immensely. "Ohh shit baby I'm so close." She says breathily, trying her best to keep the noise down but failing somewhat. You wonder if her roommates can hear.

Rae's hips jerk forward as her climax comes on, causing you to bring your hands to her hips as you hold your head in place to finish the job. She shakes as she comes down, panting with lust. "Holy shit, that was so fucking good." She says, running her fingers through your hair.

You lay back now, removing your shorts and leaving your hard cock standing straight up. "Come here."

She slowly rises, getting on all fours and crawling to you. She looks down at your dick, which she saw for the first time earlier today. "You really do have an amazing cock. I can't wait to feel it inside of me."

She goes down on you immediately, not holding back now knowing there is no audience in the dead of night. Her tongue circles your tip each time she comes up for air before she goes back down to take as much of your shaft as she can.

Satisfied with how wet your cock is, Rae climbs on top of you, wiping saliva from her mouth. Some of it has dripped down to her shirt, which she promptly removes, leaving both of your bodies now completely exposed.

She briefly hovers above you, warmth emanating from her pussy as she reaches under her to find your cock in the darkness. Once she does, you feel the tip rub against her entrance, and both of you groan softly. Carefully, Rae sinks down onto you, taking in every inch.

As you feel her skin against yours, she begins to bounce up and down. Slowly at first, but picking up the pace as time goes on. You can see her tits bouncing as she does, and the sight almost makes you want to turn the lights on.

"You're so hot, Rae. Shit, your pussy feels amazing." You say, grabbing her hips to help her get better leverage.

She gives a sexy smile down at you as she moans as quietly as she can. "Mmm, a great dick and a gentleman. Where have you been?" She stops bouncing for a moment, leaving you buried inside of her.

You take the opportunity to thrust up into her, the sound of your legs slapping against her ass louder than you anticipated. "Ohh my godd, holy shiiit!" Rae moans, her elongated vowels vibrating with each forceful thrust into her tight pussy.

Taking initiative now, you pull yourself out of Rae and push her onto her back. She gasps with surprise as you sit up, positioning yourself back over her now. Lining your cock up again, you immediately give her what she wants.

"Yes, oh god yes fuck me like that." Rae says, egging you on as the bed squeaks under you. Each powerful thrust moves Rae's entire body. Her legs are spread wide over your shoulders as you pound her, causing her whole torso to shake.

Looking into her eyes, you can see how much she really wants this. Despite just meeting today, she wants you badly. Her eyes are hungry for your body.

"Fuck baby, I'm gonna cum soon." You say under your breath, continuing to quicken your pace. She nods in understanding, "I'm cumming now, just a few more seconds." With pleasing the sexy woman in your bed now the top priority, you hold strong.

"Ahhh, fuck fuck fuck that's it." Rae moans out, her walls pushing against your throbbing cock as you keep your breathing even, holding out for her to finish. As she settles into her breath again, she looks up at you, which you take as a sign.

"Here it comes, oh fuck." You groan as you pull out of Rae and shoot ropes of sticky cum onto her tits. She watches with a grin as you paint her chest. When you're finished she sits up, strokes your dick a few more times, and sucks it clean.

You collapse next to her, not bothering to collect your clothes off the ground. Your breathing is still somewhat unsteady, but you can hear that Rae's is the same.

As she lays back down, you can hear licking noises coming from behind you. Turning to look at her, you can see that she is tasting your cum off of her tits. She appears to love it, as she doesn't stop until it's all gone.

"Well that was fun." Rae says, settling onto her back, her naked body glistening with sweat in the bit of moonlight that peeks through the windows.

"It was. Really fun." You reply, laying on your back beside her. Your breathing seems to line up with hers now as you both stare up at the ceiling as if you're stargazing.

"Rae?"

"…Yeah?"

"Do you wanna go out somewhere tomorrow? Like before stream?" Your heart pounds in your chest. Not just because of the intensity of the sex you just had, but because you just put yourself out there in a way you can not take back.

You look at Rae out of the corner of your eye, turning your head towards her a bit to try and see what she might be thinking.

"Like… As a date?"

You think for a second, but decide you might as well. You did just have sex.

"Yeah. As a date."

She smiles and turns her head towards you, making eye contact.

"Are you kidding? I'd love to!"

You breathe a sigh of relief, smiling at Rae as she wraps her arms around you. "I thought you'd never ask." She says into your shoulder, the muffled sound vibrating into your skin.

You return her embrace and close your eyes, more than content with the day. With your bodies entwined, you both drift off to a well earned sleep.

You awaken to silence, your eyes opening to a warm light illuminating the ceiling above. You lay there for a couple seconds before finally hearing the noise of the beautiful woman sleeping beside you.

Rae is fast asleep, curled up under your arm with her head against your chest. You are careful not to move, content to listen to Rae's breath as she sleeps soundly. You feel rested, which is surprising after the night you had.

"Shit, what time is it?" You think to yourself, gently grabbing your phone from off the floor.

The time reads 11:42. "Phew." You breathe a sigh of relief, happy that you'll still have time for your date today with Rae. She agreed to go out before stream, but you're not even sure where you're going. Frankly you're not even sure when she was planning on starting your stream together.

Below the time you see a list of Twitch and YouTube notifications. Your channels have really been going off since Rae raided your stream. You even made some videos from the moments, and the clips have gone pretty viral. You open Twitch to see what's happening on your channel.

"Holy shit." You whisper to yourself. Your follower count has doubled to about 30k in just a few weeks. There are all sorts of clips about it, and even other streamers have been talking about you. You decide to watch them later.

You also see the VOD from Leslie's stream lastnight. You feel a surreal feeling, knowing that you heard part of that stream happen in real time. Suddenly a thought strikes you.

Did Miyoung ever stream?

You scroll through, but you find nothing. If there was a VOD she must've deleted it, but you're not sure why she would. You're also not sure why she'd lie about streaming. You put your phone down, unsure about a few things.

Rae stirs beside you, breathing in deeply before lifting her head and opening her eyes. Her tousled hair falls onto her face, covering her cute, sleepy expression. Upon seeing you she smiles and lowers her head back to your shoulder, cuddling closer to your body.

"Good morning." She says warmly. She breathes in the scent of your body and relaxes into you.

"Good morning, sleepyhead." You smile, wrapping your arm around her head to pull some of her hair out of her face.

You still can't believe any of it. She's just as beautiful now as she ever was, and she's holding you. You of all people.

"Where do you wanna go today?" You ask, realizing for the first time that you don't actually know any first date places in Los Angeles.

"Hmm. Good question." She replies, biting her lip in thought. "I don't go out much, especially not on dates. I don't know about many cute places in the city."

She thinks on it for a bit longer before gasping, "We could ask Tina! She goes to all sorts of nice restaurants and lunch places, she'd know a nice place for us to go."

"Well alright then. We should ask sooner rather than later, it's almost noon." You say.

"Ugghh, I wanna stay in bed." Rae pouts, covering her head with the blanket. You laugh, causing her to laugh from underneath her covers.

"Why don't I go ask and see if she knows anywhere nice? What time did you want to stream tonight?" You ask.

She pulls the blankets off of her head, a soft smile on her face now. "Really? That's so nice." She leans up and gives you a kiss on the cheek. "I think we'll start stream at around 7 if that's fine with you?"

You nod, turning to get out of bed. "That's perfect. I'll just go talk to Tina so we have plenty of time. You stay in bed and relax."

Rae smiles and watches you grab a fresh outfit out of your suitcase before heading off to the bathroom to make yourself presentable. You open her bedroom door and wave to her before closing it behind you, turning down the hall and descending the stairs to see if anyone is up yet.

You hear noise coming from the kitchen as you step through the empty living room. Before stepping through the threshold between rooms, you spot Tina leaning against the counter near the wall, finishing a plate of cut up fruit. She appears to be getting ready for the day, all dressed in a tight orange crop top with a white skirt that spreads and hangs inches above her knees.

"Good morning Tina!" You say jovially as you walk into the kitchen, the cold tile floor cooling the bottoms of your feet through your socks.

"Morning." Tina mutters, her back turned to you.

You walk to the floating counter that separates Tina and yourself and lean against it, somehow trying to get a read on Tina through the back of her head. "Maybe she's tired?" You think to yourself, wondering where the cutesy and bubbly Tina is today.

"Tina do you mind if I ask you something?" You say, hoping she's not too tired to help you find a place to take Rae today.

"Ask away." She finishes her fruit but doesn't turn to you, standing stark still as she answers you.

"Do you know any good like… first date places here in L.A.?" You wonder if she knows why you're asking, but you're not sure if it matters. Why should it?

Tina stands in silence for what feels like a full two minutes. She looks like she's in deep thought, but you're not so sure she's thinking about a great first date spot.

Finally she turns to you, facing you from the other side of the counter. "You know the walls in this house aren't as thick as you might think."

You can almost feel the blood rush from your face. You had wondered if anyone could hear what happened with Rae last night, and now you have your answer. You just hope Tina doesn't have too many questions.

She watches your face as you try to mask the slight embarrassment, but you can tell she's not convinced, a squint of suspicion paired with a small biting of the lower lip emphasizing her point.

"Rae's very pretty. I get it." She raises an eyebrow, looking you up and down.

"Tina I'm not sure what you think is going on, but I can—"

"Save the story, I know what happened. You think I blame you?" She turns away from you, huffing a bit.

You walk around to the other side of the counter to look her in the eyes again. "Tina, I didn't mean to upset you. The thing with me and Rae just sort of happened, and I didn't know that—"

You're interrupted once again. She doesn't seem to want to hear your excuses.

Except this time you aren't interrupted by words.

Tina wraps her arms around your neck, pulling her face to yours and kissing you hard. Her lips crash into yours as you find yourself unexpectedly kissing the most delicate lips you think could ever possibly exist. You think about pushing her away for a moment. You really think about it.

But you don't.

Holding Tina in your arms feels like holding a doll, like one move could break her. As things get more heated though, you find that this is not the case whatsoever. Your breaths get deeper as hers speed up, the sound of your lips parting and rejoining becoming frequent as you make out there in the kitchen.

Your hand slides under her shirt, feeling her bra-clad tits underneath. You find that they're bigger than you expected as you grope the still covered flesh, your other hand moving to the small of her back.

Meanwhile Tina returns the sentiment, bringing a hand down from around you to glide gracefully under your shirt. You feel her careful yet intentional touch as her hand meets your abs and moves up and down, turning you on and your brain off. You came here for Rae, but right now all you want is Tina. And you want her right here in this kitchen.

Your hands continue exploring their way around her body, squeezing her petite ass. She pushes you up against the counter, smiling as she continues to feel you up. Taking charge, you break the kiss and pull her head gently to one side to kiss her neck, causing her to let out a belabored sigh.

Her hand moves down from your abs to the button of your pants and you begin to feel that all too familiar feeling as she touches further and further down.

Leaning her head slightly to the side as you kiss her neck she whispers, "She had her fun. It's my turn." That's all you need to hear.

You spank Tina's ass through her skirt, causing her to jump and give a tiny squeal. You never knew someone so cute and wholesome could be so dirty. It makes this so much sexier.

Tina looks you in the eyes as she drops to her knees, the height difference between you now exaggerated. She rubs the growing bulge in your pants for a few moments, but doesn't wait long as she undoes the button and zipper and removes your clothes from the waist down, revealing what she's been dying to try.

It's impossible to look away as the cutest girl you've ever seen now holds your dick in both hands, stroking it up and down with a tender touch that feels like heaven. As she massages your length she begins to take the tip into her mouth, her tongue circling it as she looks up at you with those seductive eyes.

You stifle a groan of pleasure, remembering that other people live here as Tina challenges herself to take more of you into her mouth. You thought her completely innocent once upon a time, but right now she looks like she practices this. She too seems to be remembering that she does not live alone and so is somehow managing to minimize the noise she makes while taking you down her throat.

You look straight ahead, enjoying the feeling as Tina goes to work at your feet. Suddenly you hear a noise from the staircase and your head jerks to your left to identify the source. Before you can signal to the woman currently giving you a blowjob, it's already too late to look down.

Rae enters the kitchen, dressed and ready.

"Oh hey there. Any luck finding Tina?" She asks.

"Oh shit." Is all you can think. That and, "Fuck Tina's mouth feels so good."

Wait a minute. Tina's mouth?

You don't dare look down, but you don't exactly have to. The warmth of Tina's saliva continues to envelope your cock even as she hears Rae's voice. You struggle for a second to find words, unsure if she can hear or see what's going on, but it appears that Rae thinks you're alone. Tina is hidden behind the tall counter in the center of the room and as long as Rae doesn't decide to walk around to the other side, you might just survive this.

"Nope. I wonder if she's still in her room." You say, making an oblivious face and shaking your head. You're a streamer, so you have plenty of practice keeping up appearances in front of people who are none the wiser. This is a different beast, however. Tina is not exactly making it easy for you either.

"Ahh dang, maybe she stayed up late or something. She might've decided to play with Miyoung on her stream last night." Rae takes a step closer to the counter, apparently still not close enough to see or hear what is going on under her nose.

"Yeah probably." You respond, your mind blank of anything to actually contribute to the conversation. "I was gonna check on a few work things really quick, but I can look around for places if we can't find Tina." You offer, wanting to get Rae out of this room.

She tilts her head, looking at you with a small smile. "You're nice. How about you check on your work stuff so you don't have to worry about it? I'll check Tina's room or look for someplace online."

You nod your head, your ability to focus dwindling faster than you can manage. Tina has saliva dripping down her chin, and she has now placed her hands on your thighs for leverage as her head continues to move in your peripheral vision.

"Alrighty, I'll see you soon! Let me know when you're done." Rae says, turning back in the direction she came from and walking out of the kitchen. You stay perfectly still until you hear the sounds of footsteps up the stairs, and even then you wait a few seconds.

You look down at Tina, "That was very bad." Your tone is one of dominance, and Tina is all too happy to submit.

Pulling your cock out of her mouth and holding it against her face, she makes a pouty face. "Oh, I'm sorry. Do you wanna punish me?"

Your nostrils flare as you grasp Tina's arms and pull her up from her kneeling position. She giggles as you push her up against the counter she hid behind, now using it to bend her over. Her ass peeks out from under her skirt, covered only by a pair of panties.

You hastily pull her panties down, leaving them hanging from her ankles as she spreads her legs as far apart as she can. Pulling her skirt away to expose her ass, you serve Tina her punishment.

She struggles to stifle a moan, quickly covering her own mouth as you fill her tight pussy with your thick cock. You reach forward and shove three of your fingers into her mouth, muting her yourself before she can get too loud.

Regardless of the immense risk the sound you're making poses to your position in this house, your fucking grows wild and unfettered as you ram into Tina, her back arching as you watch her bubbly ass jiggle with the recoil of each thrust.

You can feel the vibrations of her moaning through your fingers, and she eventually has to gently bite down as your dick pounds deep into her. You're lucky the counter is rooted where it is on the floor, or else you'd be sending it flying across the room with the force that you're fucking Tina with.

Caught up in the moment, you decide to risk the noise. You remove your fingers from Tina's mouth, using your newly free hand to spank her. "This is what you wanted, isn't it? You wanted me to take you right here like a slut?"

Your demeaning words only serve to spur her on as she pushes her hips back towards you with each thrust. "Yes Daddy, I wanted to be yours sooo bad. Please make me yours." This new level drives you wild, and you grab hold of her shoulder for more leverage as you feel yourself begin to reach your limit.

She reaches down between her legs, rubbing her clit in a circular motion, which you take as a sign that she's about to cum.

"I'm close." You say under your breath, not letting up your relentless pace.

She pants as she struggles to keep it together, "Me too. Just do it inside, I'm on the pill."

"Are you sure?" You ask, hesitating for a moment.

"I promise, I want to feel it inside me. Fill me up."

Those words are enough to bring you to the edge, and you slam balls deep into Tina's pussy. As your balls slap against her clit one last time, a burst of hot cum erupts from your cock, flowing into Tina. She has to bite down on her own finger this time to hold in her screams, but you can feel her shudder and her pussy tighten around you as she cums hard.

Breathing heavily, you pull out and grab your pants back off the floor, putting them back on. You watch as a few drops of cum leak from Tina's pussy, but she quickly pulls her panties back up before any more can get out.

"I should probably go change, but this was pretty fun." Tina says, winking at you.

"I had fun too. I just don't think we can do it again." You say, knowing that to go any further would be to go behind Rae's back even more.

Tina thinks for a moment, pulling down her skirt. "Well, no one has to know." She shrugs as she begins to walk away, then turns back before exiting the kitchen. "Oh! There's a cute café a few minutes away from here that Rae's been meaning to try. DM me your number, I'll text you the address."

You stand in the kitchen slightly dumbfounded as she walks away. You hear her walk upstairs just before the muffled sounds of Rae running into her in the hall. You creep slowly into the living room to listen.

"Tina! Oh my gosh, I was looking for you, where were you?"

"Me? I was just on a walk, did Miyoung not tell you? I let her know before I left."

"Oh, okay. That's funny, I haven't seen her at all today."

"Yeah… Anyways, I gotta set up some stuff for stream. See ya Rae!"

You breathe a sigh of relief as Tina's door closes. You sit on the couch and open Twitter on your phone to DM your phone number to Tina. Once that's done, you take a quick look at yourself in the camera. You dab away a bit of sweat, ultimately deciding that you look pretty good all things considered.

Rae walks downstairs a few seconds later looking gorgeous and ready to go out. "Oh, you're ready?" She asks excitedly, appearing anxious to go on this date.

Your phone lights up with a notification from an unknown number and you quickly look down.

'hey it's Tina! Here's the address for the place I was talking about. Have fun on your date!'

'p.s. I had fun just now. Your secret's safe with me!'

You get up from the couch, shoving your phone into your pocket and taking Rae's hand. "I'm ready! And I've got just the place for us to go."

You take your seat across from Rae at a table towards the back of the café. Looking around at the pastel coloring of the walls and the subtle accents, you're impressed that such a cozy spot could exist in such a busy city.

"Tina was right, this place is really cute." You say, looking across the table at your beautiful date. She's dressed in a white top and a pair of jeans, yet with such a simple outfit she stands out against everything else you can see.

Rae smiles at you from across the table. "I told you, she knows her stuff." She brushes her long hair behind her ear, taking a look down at the menu. Silence hangs in the air for a moment before the waitress comes to your table.

"Hi there! My name is Felicia, I'll be your— oh my god you're Valkyrae aren't you?" The waitress looks like she's about to drop her notepad.

Rae nods, making brief eye contact with the girl that seems just a few years younger than you. "That's me!"

You scan Rae's face quickly and begin to wonder how she's feeling. This is a very unique situation for you, but surely it isn't for her and you were both looking forward to today.

"Gosh, I can't believe I'm actually meeting a celebrity." The young waitress celebrates.

You decide it's time to step in. "Felicia?" She looks over at you, somewhat surprised at the interruption. "You obviously know about Rae and what she does. Do you think we can grab some food before she has to go do a long stream?" You look up at her, an eyebrow raised.

Her eyes widen with slight anxiety as she understands the reality of the situation. "Oh, you're so right. I'm so sorry, let me grab you both some waters while you look over the menu." She skulks away, obviously embarrassed.

Rae reaches under the small table and grasps for your hand, finding it after a few seconds. "That was very sweet. Thank you."

You clasp your fingers between hers. "It was no problem. You work hard, you should get to have some fun without feeling like you're still on stream."

Rae blushes, looking down from your gaze briefly. "Well, it's not so bad…"

She trails off, still holding your hand. Your thumb roams the smooth skin of her fingers as you enjoy this new feeling with Rae.

Suddenly she sits up excitedly, gently pulling her hand away from you. She looks around quickly and leans in towards you. Her cleavage is fantastic from this view.

"Okay but did you see how she recognized me but not you?" She asks in a hushed tone.

You shrug, "Well I'm not exactly the internet icon that you are."

She sits back in her seat again, laughing. "Okay, okay, but if she really watched my streams wouldn't she have seen you? I've talked about you several times since announcing you."

You nod in agreement, though that was not something you were thinking about. You've been so sucked in to the dynamic events of the past couple days that you almost forgot why you're here in the first place. And the fact that you won't be here after tomorrow.

"Maybe she watches a lot of OTV stuff? I mean you do all sorts of stuff with them." You posit just before watching the waitress return with your waters. Rae gives you a knowing look, and you pick up your menu.

You both place your orders and are once again alone. "I think she's a Lily fan. She just seems like it." Rae guesses, making further conversation in the absence of food.

You smile, "Alright enough about the fan girl waitress. Tell me about you."

Rae stumbles over her words for a moment, "Heh, right. Let's see…" She stares off into space for a moment before returning her eyes to you. "Well I've been busy lately. Games are coming out a little slow and a lot of my friends seem to be busy as well so I'm always having to come up with something new for stream. I did come up with this really good idea recently to try and help someone else, turns out it ended up helping me a bit too."

Your heart beats a bit faster, "Oh yeah? How so?" You lean in, eager to hear what she has to say.

She giggles, "Well… the guy that I've been helping out turned out to be super hot and funny and nice. I think he might end up being a great streamer on his own, but I don't think I want that for him."

"What do you want then?"

Rae sighs, shaking her head. "Okay okay. Hold on." She starts shaking out her arms and doing lip trills, as if warming up.

"You good over there?" You ask. Your food arrives right then, and the frazzled Rae waits until the servers have left both plates at your table before she continues.

"I'm alright. Just nervous." She contemplates her words further before starting. "I think you should move to L.A."

You nearly choke on a bite of food, forcing yourself not to cough before gulping down some water.

"You want me to what?"

"I know you have work and a life back at home, and it would be so crazy to ask you to leave all that behind. But I think you have a real shot at this streaming stuff, and all the big creators are out here. I think you can live your best life here."

You try to look Rae in the eyes but she looks nervously down at the floor. "Rae…" you barely know what to say to that. Part of you feels like an idiot for not saying yes immediately, but there are so many unknowns that you're not sure where to begin.

"Is that the only reason you want me to move out here?"

Rae closes her eyes and breathes in, letting out a heavy sigh as she look back up at you. "No it's not. I know we just met yesterday, but I think you're really great. I want to get to know you, maybe do more stuff like this, but I can't do that by just playing games with you over stream."

You look down at your half finished plate. Gears turn in your head as you hear your own feelings reciprocated in the most unexpected scenario. You might need a strong drink to tide over the nerves. You're not exactly gonna tell Rae that, though.

"I understand if you need some time to think about it. We can just do the stream tonight and see how you feel!" Rae suggests, eyes wide with an optimistic look.

"Rae…" you start, reaching a hand across the table, palm face up and fingers slightly curled. She looks at it and quickly places her hand in yours, folding them together. "I feel the same way as you. I would love nothing more than to move out here and live this life and get to know you better. I'm just not at your level of success yet. I can't really pay to quit my job and live out here right now."

Rae looks you deep in the eyes, examining your expression for the truth of your statement. She smiles, "Things are gonna change a lot for you tonight, trust me. I had a plan to put something big together for whatever streamer ended up coming out here, so believe me when I say that I think you're gonna be doing just fine by tomorrow morning."

Your eyebrow raises almost automatically. What could she have organized that would guarantee you the launch to stardom you would need to move all the way out here permanently?

"Well if that's true," you say, "I'm gonna need some help finding a place." Your lips curl into a smile which Rae mirrors eagerly.

"Now, why don't we stop talking shop for a bit?"

At 6:15 Rae leads you back into the house, paper shopping bags hanging from your arms from when Rae took you shopping in the city after lunch. "Okay, let's go tour the setup! I know you stream already but I wanna make sure you know how all my stuff works." Rae says to you as she closes the front door.

Miyoung walks out of the living room as you follow Rae up the stairs. "Rae what the heck! Did you make your poor guest carry your bags around?"

Rae just gives a hearty laugh as she walks to her room, but you are unsure of how to answer. You don't know how public Rae wants your relationship to be, even around her friends. "Um, not exactly." You say, stopping for a brief moment on the stairs.

Miyoung's look of bewilderment at your apparent 'mistreatment' turns to a more serious one almost immediately. A devious smile spreads across her face as she pulls the skirt she's wearing up to reveal that she is not wearing any panties underneath. You gawk at her nude pussy, displayed in the open for you and only you.

"You want this, don't you?" Miyoung taunts, apparently not loud enough for Rae to hear. You're not sure if Miyoung is even aware that you've grown so close to Rae, but your initial interaction with the seductive exhibitionist doesn't seem to have faded from her mind. It hasn't faded much from yours either.

You can't help but just stand on the steps and stare. "Hey! You coming?" Rae shouts from just in front of her bedroom door. You shake yourself back to reality, hoping Rae didn't see much of your expression during that little event. Miyoung certainly seems pleased with herself as she lets her skirt fall around her once more, winking to you as you ascend once more to join Rae.

"I have never used OBS like this, but I think it all makes sense." You say, noting in your mind the assets organized into each of Rae's scenes for streaming.

She nods from the chair to your right. "It's not too difficult, it's all set up already." She checks the computer clock, then looks at you. "Five minutes! How're you feeling?"

You feel like there are a thousand lumps in your throat. You feel like your whole life was practice for this and you're about to blow it. At the same time however, you feel safe with this amazing woman who values your talent and is looking out for you in every way. You may not feel ready, but you know you are. Hell, you have to be.

"I feel okay. A little nervous, but I'll be fine."

She smiles and nods, "That's me pretty much every time. Don't worry, it gets better."

As the clock strikes 7:00 PM, you move your mouse to the 'Start Stream' button and let your finger hover above the left mouse button for a moment. You breathe out hard, wondering if you're up to this.

"Let me help." Rae puts her hand over yours, your pointer fingers sitting one on top of the other now. She could click the button for you, but she doesn't.

She turns your head towards her with her free hand and kisses you passionately, your lips meeting hers in a transporting kiss. You pull away, smiling ear to ear, and start the stream.

People have evidently been anticipating this stream because the viewers are flooding in, and after only 10 minutes of talking to chat Rae's viewer count is up to 13k. "Ridiculous. Numbers I'd never even imagine." You think to yourself, finding it almost impossible to keep your eyes off of the stream statistics screen.

You aren't too used to streaming on YouTube, but you're getting the hang of it as time goes on. Rae's chat certainly seems receptive to you, asking you questions about your time in L.A. and paying you more attention than they do to the actual big shot streamer sitting just in frame beside you.

After 20 minutes and a concurrent viewership of 32k, Rae takes the reins.

"Alright everybody, welcome welcome! Tonight obviously we have a special guest, please give him a warm welcome in the chat!"

You watch as the messages from Rae's viewers zip upward across the screen.

'Welcome!'

'YAAYY'

'OMG IT'S HIM'

'Who tf is that next to Rae'

'THATS MY STREAMER'

You're nearly speechless, but right now you don't exactly have that option.

"Hey everyone! Thank you for being so kind to me during all this. I'm so lucky to be here and to be talking to you all, you're all so amazing!" You say to the camera with sincerity. The chat responds positively, continuing their torrent of uplifting messages.

"Okay, so!" Rae starts, "I have something really cool planned for tonight, something I actually had to convince a couple people to do, but I am so excited for it so without further ado…"

Rae suddenly grabs the mouse and clicks open the already running Discord application. Before you realize what's going on, you hear the familiar sound that plays whenever a user joins a Discord server.

A cacophony of voices fill your earphones as you try to read the names of the people in the server, but before you even get a chance you begin to recognize a few of them. You are stunned, except for the fact that your jaw practically drops to the floor.

The high pitched voice of LilyPichu. The familiar voices of both Tina and Miyoung. The scratchy, tired sounding voice of Disguised Toast.

It's a mix of loud "HI"s and "WOW"s as you get the Discord equivalent of a surprise party, or at least as close as one can come to it. Reading down the list of the other names, you see Michael Reeves, QuarterJade, Masayoshi, Sydeon, and Scarra.

Chat is going crazy as the viewers begin to see mini Discord profile pictures appear in the top left corner of Rae's stream, indicating who is present and speaking. Rae beams at you with pride, having gotten exactly the reaction she was looking for. After the chaotic welcome dies down, you take a deep breath.

"Um… Holy shit." Is all you can muster as your head spins.

"Wait a second, you're not Rae!" Toast shouts, causing an eruption of laughter from many of the others, including you.

"Toast, don't scare him off!" Lily says, "We already know you're not gonna take it easy on him!"

Take it easy?

"Hold on. Hold on!" Your body matches your verbal reaction in this moment, taking up space as your mind continues to blow. "Are we playing what I think we're playing?"

Sydney snickers, "Oh he's excited now, just wait."

You look at Rae with the dumbfoundedness of a child, but she nods happily to confirm your guess.

You're playing Among Us. With OTV.

"Tina your mic isn't muted!" Toast says, breaking the silence of the current round.

"Eek! Sorry!" Tina says before going quiet.

Your eyes drift to the open Discord window, ensuring that you haven't lost track of your own audio. It's more important now than ever, as for the second time tonight you are an imposter.

The first time it was you and John, which was unfortunately destined to fail. You've played this game many times before, many times with great success, but John loves fucking around and you love matching people's energy. Wild kills happened, mistakes were made, Toast didn't even have to expose you to win.

This time is different. As it stands, Scarra, Sidney, and Miyoung are all dead. Your imposter partner Tina has been playing the long game with Jodi, leaving you to kill the first two before a third was voted out. Now it comes down to your strategy, and you want more than anything to impress anyone who sees clips from this game.

You pass by Michael in a secluded area and kill him, quickly venting away. Before you get a chance to vent out, a body is reported. Funnily enough, it's Lily's. "Oh shit, this is a double." You say as the meeting starts.

"Tiiinaaa!" Jodi shouts.

"What? What happened?" Tina asks.

"You have been following me around forever so I thought you might be innocent, but I saw you walk with Lily to lights and that's where she died!" Jodi says in disbelief, seeming already convinced.

John asks everyone where they were, a question for which everyone seems to have an answer.

"I think the only people that are possibly clear off this double are me and John." Toast adds. "We have to vote if we're not sure about Miyoung."

The group decides to vote out Tina, and you add your vote to the pile reluctantly to stay out of the spotlight. You imagine by now Toast is beginning to clock you, but you don't want to let things play out that far.

Using the admin table, you surmise where he might've gone. Sure enough, he is hiding in the top left reactor. You stand there looking at him for a moment before calling the lights sabotage, walking up and killing him.

You could wait until your kill timer comes back up. Or you could self report this for style points.

You decide the latter is worth the risk.

As the meeting is called, John and Jodi begin to question what happened. "Okay John, where are you right now?" You ask.

"I'm on lights, I can't see anything." He responds.

Jodi responds in kind, "I'm on admin, I see one at lights."

You put on your best actor face as you try to turn this around. "Oh Jodi, Jodi, Jodi." You laugh, shaking your head in fake disappointment. "That is simply not true."

Jodi immediately argues your accusation, but you deny any of her points. "The body is in medbay, if she was in admin she would have to vent. She voted Tina out even though we already got Miyoung, John it is Jodi." You plead your case, hoping it's enough.

You hear John take a deep breath, and as he does you submit your vote to eject Jodi. She matches you, voting for you immediately due to your immediate rejection of her defense.

Without a word, John's vote appears next to Jodi's name. Your mouth opens in a flabbergasted smile, and Rae grabs your shoulders and shakes you in celebration. You keep quiet until the victory screen appears.

"Fuck!" John says as he sees the results.

"John what the hell!" Jodi yells, obviously a little frustrated.

"Yayy we did it!" Tina says cutely.

"Very nice, very nice job." Toast says, giving his approval.

It all feels so surreal. It is real though, it's right in front of your face. Maybe this could be your life. Maybe it already is.

"Alright bye guys, thanks so much for playing!" You say, bidding the group goodbye.

"Bye! Let's do this again sometime!" Lily says, her sentiment met with a chorus of enthusiastic agreements before you hear the sound of people leaving the voice call.

"Holy shit, Rae. That was amazing." You say as you turn to her.

"You were amazing! I can't believe you pulled some of that stuff off. Now I wanna be in a lobby with you." She responds with excitement, despite the length of the stream. With all the talking to chat, playing games, and getting to know her streamer friends, you figured she might get bored just sitting there. She seems just as happy as ever watching you shine.

As you prepare to say goodbye to the chat, Rae brings up your social accounts onto the screen, encouraging the audience to follow you. You blush a bit, a mix of embarrassment and overwhelming joy in your mind.

Finally, the eventful stream ends. You sit back in your chair with a sigh after saying the final goodbye, hoping you can feel like this forever.

"Hey. That was really good." Rae says, grasping your hand. "You're a natural."

You grin at her, "Well if you say so." She rolls her eyes sarcastically. "You know I've been thinking about what you said earlier." You say, "I think I wanna do it. I might need some helping finding a place and getting everything out here, but I want to move to L.A."

Rae hugs you tightly, "I'm so glad." She lets you go and jumps out of her chair. "I have ice cream in the freezer! Do you want celebration ice cream?"

You chuckle, "How can I turn down celebration ice cream?"

She bounces out of the room giddily, leaving you sitting alone in your euphoria. You can't believe that this is real life, but it certainly is. You look at Rae's desk and see that your phone glows with a text notification. Picking it up, you open your phone and read the text.

'You don't deserve any of it'

Your heart sinks. The number appears to be just some random person, but if it were just a viewer than how would they have found your personal number?

'Who is this?' You reply.

'Block my number and I show the world exactly who you are'

You don't know what they mean, but the message somehow still hurts to read.

With a veil now pulled over you, you find it much harder to bask in the light of tonight's success.
