Fortune Favors The Bold

Katrina Colt has had it bad for Alina Ali for months, her own roommate, but the words never quite leave her mouth. She needs a push. So she hires Jayden Cole to pose as a fortune-teller and deliver a birthday reading that will steer Alina straight into Katrina’s arms. The moment Jayden lays eyes on Alina, the plan shifts. Instead of naming Katrina as Alina’s future lover, Jayden starts writing herself into the story. Her voice drops, low and intimate, as she describes a mystery woman with golden hair and a hunger that feels dangerously familiar. Alina leans closer, intrigued. Katrina squirms on the couch, cutting in every few seconds, trying to correct course. Jayden ignores her. The reading turns into seduction, slow and deliberate, until Katrina can’t take it. She stops everything and confesses: the whole scheme was meant to make Alina see her as more than a roommate. Alina smiles, surprised but pleased. She didn’t need the trick. She already wanted Katrina. Jayden starts packing her props, done. Alina stops her. There’s room for three tonight, and Jayden did help, after all. The three women move together, skin on skin, the fortune finally working out for everyone.
