As requested, here's the next installment after a much shorter delay. This one's been a long time coming. Please read the ending with your tongue firmly planted in your cheek.
Thanks again to Samuraisan for editing, and a gracious welcome to US Scotsman who came on board starting this chapter in order to free me up to do more writing and less dawdling over commas and semicolons.
Thanks & Enjoy.

Insatiable
Alex was startled awake by a knock at his door. He blinked away the sleep as his bedroom door swung open to reveal a petite brunette wearing a tight camisole and light pink cotton panties.
"Megan, what are you doing? What time is it?" Alex asked, his brain not quite functioning.
"It's seven thirty, I figured you'd be up by now. Do you want me to leave?"
"No, it's alright. I was up late last night. Where's Case?" he asked.
"Still sleeping. I didn't want to wake her up. I thought I'd see what you were up to," she said with a sly smile. She clutched her hands together across her hips and twisted on the balls of her feet.
Alex rolled over and felt his erection slide through the sheets, just what he needed. Remembering Carrie's training from the night before, he urged it to be quiet. He knew Megan would jump him the second she saw it, and he wasn't quite in the mood for her shenanigans this early in the day.
"Woah! What's all this?" Megan asked in surprise as she stepped into his room and looked at the floor. He'd left his collection of panties and swimsuits where they lay after his long talk with Carrie, having fallen asleep almost immediately after she'd left. Megan bent down and rifled through the garments. "So this is the collection Casey was talking about."
Alex sighed. "Yes, it is." His stiffness had subsided below obscene levels so he threw off his sheets and sat on the side of his bed. He braced himself for what he knew was coming.
"Wait, how did you get this?" she demanded, holding up her tan-colored briefs.
Alex stood and walked to his dresser as Megan's questioning eyes followed his naked body. He quickly pulled on a pair of boxers and a shirt, then motioned to a chair. "Sit. We need to talk." He wasn't looking forward to this, but it had to happen now.
"I'll say." Megan curled her short legs into the upholstered armchair.
Alex sat opposite her and sighed. "You're not going to like this; and for my part, I'll say I'm sorry now, but I know that won't make it any better."
"What did you do?" Megan asked, starting to get suspicious.
"I watched you with your pink toy. Last week, before the party. After you left I took those," he said, motioning at her stolen underwear.
"What do you mean you watched me?" Megan said, raising her voice in pitch as she sat forward and contemplated Alex's meaning.
"There's a hole in your wall that leads into Ben's closet. He showed me and I saw you." Alex braced for Megan's fiery temper.
"
MOTHERFUCKER!
" Megan screamed as she stood up and flailed her tightly balled fists at Alex, hitting him on his chest and shoulders. He raised his arms in self-defense while she yelled, "How could you?!" She felt sick to her stomach and collapsed. "I trusted you," she whimpered and then curled into a ball on the floor.
Alex reached out and she flinched away. "I'm so sorry," he said, knowing it meant nothing. "I should have stopped it."
"Why didn't you?" Megan groaned through clenched teeth.
"I tried, but Ben wouldn't listen."
"Not good enough!" Megan snarled. She lifted her hurt face to meet Alex's eyes.
"I know," Alex said, hanging his head in his hands. "I took advantage of you, I should have said something."
"I feel like I'm going to puke." Megan groaned and clutched her stomach.
"I tried to make it okay," Alex said softly. "Once I found out I took control. Ben hasn't seen anything. I only watched you and Casey."
"She knew too?" Megan asked in disbelief.
Alex sighed and lowered his head. "She caught me watching what we did in your room. I made her promise not to tell you until I tried to work it out with Ben. Please don't be angry with her, she doesn't deserve it."
Megan groaned again, wrapping her arms around her knees and clenching into a tight ball on the floor. She'd been betrayed by the two people she'd come to treasure the most.
Alex spoke with a wavering voice. "I shut it down after you and Casey got together before the party. I took over everything the day you and I were alone in your room. It didn't feel right, and I'm sorry I didn't do more. I...I...thought I did the best I could, Meg."
"You should have told me," she whimpered from the floor.
