Three days have passed since Warren and Bridgette’s intense encounter in the bathroom, and she has been avoiding him ever since. Warren, however, can’t stop thinking about her. He watches her, analyzing her every move.

One night, Bridgette sits next to Warren on the couch—supposedly to study, but she keeps stealing the remote and distracting him. Their usual back-and-forth banter ensues. Then, out of nowhere, she asks where he keeps the alcohol. Warren retrieves a bottle for her and asks her directly if she was in a porn video. Bridgette remains unfazed, neither confirming nor denying it. Instead, she teases him, hinting that while she was on camera, she wasn’t exactly wearing a sweater.

As their verbal sparring intensifies, so does the physical tension. Unable to resist any longer, Warren leans in, and Bridgette meets him halfway. Their kiss quickly escalates into heated intimacy with Bridgette taking control, something that surprises Warren but excites him even more.

After their intimate encounter, Bridgette abruptly retreats to her room. Unsettled, Warren follows and climbs into her bed, hoping to return the favor and ensure that she orgasms as he did.
