My Yandere Online Boyfriend Slept Next Door Chapter 04

I took a moment to steady myself, then crawled out from under the covers.

I opened the door, heading for the bathroom.

Just as I stepped out, Knox emerged from the bathroom himself.

He was shirtless, a towel slung low around his waist.

He usually wore a robe around the house.

Today, he was being generous.

And up close?

His abs looked exactly like the photos my online boyfriend had sent me.

Except these were better—more alive.

Probably because of how worked up he’d been on the call just now.

Even the coldest woman would’ve felt her pulse quicken.

I stole a glance at him.

His ears were still faintly flushed.

His face was cool, but the heat in his eyes hadn’t faded.

His lips were red, slightly swollen—like he’d been biting them to keep quiet.

I thought of the voice on the other end of that call—s

trained, trembling, barely holding it together.

My cheeks burned.

I looked away and tried to sound normal.

“I need to use the bathroom.”

“Mm.” Just one low syllable.

But his voice was hoarse.

My face went red again.

I walked past him—and my arm brushed his.

A shock, like static electricity, ran through me.

A hint of his cologne drifted into my nose.

Cold. Mysterious. Just like him.

We turned and our eyes met.

His gaze had a strange pull to it—

like a dark pool wrapped in vines, reaching out to tangle up anything that dared to look too close.

I lost myself for a second.

I’d once read online: Eye contact is a silent kiss.

I never understood it.

Until now.

One look, and I felt like he’d kissed the breath out of me.

God, this man had presence.

If he were my boyfriend, I could—

FR?

Chloe, do you even know yourself?

What kind of “eat” are we talking about?

I muttered, “Sorry. I didn’t mean to.”

His voice was lazy.

“It’s fine.”

The bathroom door clicked shut behind me.

I leaned against it, trying to calm my racing heart.

The comments were screaming.

You two are killing me—just get together already!

They’re obviously into each other.

Knox likes the wild type, not a good girl like Chloe.

He’s into Serena’s vibe.

Tomorrow she’s handing the account back.

Knox is about to meet his online girlfriend in person.

He’s never dated before. He’s all in on this.

Chloe needs to run before he finds out she was faking it.

He’s rich and intense. She’s out of her league.

My eyes drifted to the laundry basket.

My silk nightgown was in it, still damp.

Drops of water clung to the fabric—probably from when Knox was showering.

It looked so intimate.

So easy to misinterpret.

I had to be losing my mind.

I splashed cold water on my face.

When I was calm, I made up my mind.

I stepped out of the bathroom and knocked on Knox’s door.

“Knox. Are you still awake?”
