into our lives. Because them doing things like dating brings a lot of risk into our family when they are this close.” She scoffed. “They know all our secrets. And before I had that evaluation done for Eden, they knew things about me that even the government didn’t know. And they know things about Rose and Eden. They know things about the shadow organization. We can’t have them looking for companionship in people we don’t know and trust when they are this close to our lives. Especially not when there is danger lurking in the shadows.”

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, tightening her grip on Lily’s hand. “And we also can’t just ‘not tell them’ about stuff either – not if they are going to be around so much. So there’s really no in-between anymore.”

“I know,” Lily admitted somberly. “I didn’t think it would bother me so much when I found out Heidi had a date, but it really did. And that was even before all this happened.”

Freya nodded, taking another deep breath.

Lily continued. “And, I guess maybe I’ve gotten used to you and Sam having sex, because the idea of Sam sleeping with Heidi or Lexi does bother me, but not as much as it would have a year ago. But I’m just worried that…” Her voice trailed off.

“I know,” Freya agreed. “Me too. I want to be Sam’s main woman. I don’t want to be replaced and end up as the side-chick.”

Lily laughed humorlessly, feeling far from amused. “But that’s all Heidi wants at least, right?” she asked.

Freya nodded. “Yeah, Heidi doesn’t want to be Sam’s main girl. I mean, she loves him and wants to spend time with him, but she doesn’t want her life to revolve around that relationship like it does for us. Basically, she doesn’t want a husband like we do, but instead wants a buddy to chill with. Someone she can hang out with, play with, and then wake up the next morning and do whatever she wants.” Freya sighed. “Not that she isn’t committed. She really only wants Sam, and would never cheat on him if she was allowed to basically ‘have a piece of him.’ But she doesn’t want to feel like she’s in a serious relationship. She doesn’t want to feel like she has to fill the role of being his wife, or even just serious girlfriend. She just wants to hang out every once in a while, get the romance she needs, and then continue living like she’s single.”

“A buddy,” Lily repeated, thinking about it. “And what about Lexi?”

“She’s more complicated, but would be perfectly fine just being Sam’s mistress. While Heidi is in love with Sam, Lexi is almost obsessed at this point – like, for a while now, her thoughts have pretty much revolved around him. It’s like her life goal is to make him happy in any way she can. And she’s not worried about her own happiness at all. Or rather, her happiness is tied to making him happy.”

“So…” Lily began hesitantly. “Things could be like how they are now, except that there might be sex involved.”

Freya nodded.

Lily took a deep breath, and let it out slowly. She then considered the overall situation again, thinking about how much she didn’t like the idea of Heidi dating, yet knowing how wrong of her it was to want to exert that much control over either of the sisters’ lives. But would she really be able to stomach this? She’d already considered this option before, and now it felt even more necessary that she make a decision soon, but this kind of thing was a huge step.

Because once this happened, there was no easy way for it to go back to how it was.

Once Sam began having a romantic relationship with either sister, nothing would ever be the same again. And it wasn’t like Lily could just decide to change her mind, because even if everyone listened, nothing would be the same.

There was no going back.

Freya unexpectedly cleared her throat, focusing on Lily with concern. “There’s something else I wanted to talk about too.”

Lily looked down at her hand still in Freya’s lap, as her best friend gently stroked her wrist with her thumb. “What is it?” she wondered.

Freya continued. “If we decide to let this happen, then it will mean there are going to be times when everyone is in bed for the night, but Sam isn’t in our bed. At least, not right away. That will end up giving us some extra alone time together.”

Lily looked up at her in alarm, her stomach suddenly tying in knots. “F-Freya, I can’t…” Her words cut off as she tried to swallow, her heart suddenly pounding in her throat, her mouth suddenly dry.

Freya was immediately reassuring, gently running her fingertips down Lily’s arm while still holding onto her hand in her lap. “I’m not asking you to do anything you don’t want to do,” she said gently. “But I would like to do some of the things we’ve already done.”

Lily gave her another confused look, her body trembling slightly. “W-What have we done?”

“The vibrator,” she replied, her expression just as gentle as her touch. “I want you to control the remote like you’ve done before. The only difference is Sam won’t be inside of me too.”

Lily’s head began to spin, prompting her to lean over and lie down on the bed. She tried to focus on the smell of her cherry-red latex sheets, instead of the images popping into her mind.

Freya was immediately concerned. “Hey, are you alright?”

But Lily could only nod, her racing heart preventing her from speaking. She tried to focus again as she felt Freya shift her weight and begin rubbing her shoulder affectionately. After a moment, Lily managed to speak. “D-Do I have to touch you?” she wondered.

“No, of course not. I just want you to control the remote. That’s all. It’ll be like when we use it with Sam, except
