“I’ve only been hesitant because of how complex things are and how much we’ve been through. But I don’t want to ignore these feelings anymore. I want us to try—together.”

Alec steps closer, cradling her face in his hands gently, like she’s breakable. “We’re going to prove that you can rely on us, sweetheart.” He leans down and kisses her softly.

Jace steps up as well and kisses her on the forehead. “I can’t wait to spend more time together and get to know each other even better.”

Tessa laughs. “This all seems so backward. I’m having babies with you guys and we’re about to try dating.”

The three of us chuckle at the oddity of the situation as well.

“We’ll take things slow,” Jace promises. “I think the first and most important thing though, is to work with you to figure out who’s behind your stalking. We’re not going to let you out of our sights anymore, especially with the amount of danger you’ve been in.”

Tessa nods, expression turning grim as her mouth presses into a thin line. “Yeah, we have babies to protect now.”

“Let’s get started then,” Alec says, pulling his phone out of his pocket. “We’ll go through a list again…”

TESSA

It’s only been like, two weeks since I got out of the hospital but ever since we found out I’m having triplets, it seems like my belly has doubled in size overnight. It makes sense, there are three in there, and more growth will happen more rapidly, but it’s still weird to see.

Valencia is as protective as ever, still wary of the boys but they’ve made good on their word. So far, I haven’t been allowed out of their sight so much as to go to the bathroom. Even when I’m in there, one of them is keeping a careful watch outside the door.

I know they’re worried but there haven’t been any incidents since the slashed tires, and the campus police have no leads. Neither do we.

The only people we’ve managed to eliminate from the list so far are all the people in jail and anyone who has already graduated from Sterling Heights, and even then we weren’t ready to eliminate them all entirely.

Between Matteo, Valencia, Alec, Jace, and Devin, someone is always available to escort me to class. I’m hardly ever alone now. The only alone time I get is when I’m in Alec’s room—where I’vebeen staying on the down-low the last two weeks—and the boys are all in class. Alec feels like I’m safe enough in the frat house so long as I keep the door locked and text them every half hour.

I thought I might go crazy but honestly, Alec’s bed is super comfy, the boys always keep a fridge full of snacks for me, and there’s plenty to watch on Netflix. Not to mention that the three of them own an impressive collection of video games.

I’m neck-deep in killing orcs when my phone buzzes. Devin says he has a meeting with the dean about my stalker and he’ll be back later. I’m glad that there’s been at least some progress made on that front. Dean Harrison took a shine to Devin after all the work Devin has done to change people’s view of college parties, especially after the news did a story about Sigma Theta being the first fraternity to host sober parties for an entire semester.

Pausing the game, I put the controller down and fold my hands in my lap, the itch growing now that I’m no longer on a killing spree.

Ever since the second trimester began, I’ve noticed my already decently high libido has skyrocketed. I can’t go a day without feeling the familiar itch inside me to touch myself or have a nice, thick cock in my pussy.

I was looking forward to Devin coming back from class early so I could jump him as soon as he walked in the door.

Now I’m going to have to wait for Jace and Alec.

The thought brings a smile to my lips and I bounce, excited at the idea of taking both of them at the same time, like I did with Devin and Alec.

I can hardly control myself and I rub my thighs together, seeking friction. A glance at Alec’s clock reveals that it will still be another long half hour before they’re even out of class so I snake my hand into the waistband of my leggings and plunge it between my already damp thighs.

A hiss escapes me as soon as I touch my aching clit, relief already filling me. I bite back a moan, trying not to be too loud as I begin to stroke myself. My thighs part instinctively and I lay back among the pillows, working a finger into my hole.

I’m getting bigger now so it’s getting a little harder to maneuver, but I find a good position and rock against my hand, thumbing over my clit while I slide a second finger inside myself.

Just as I’m starting to get a good rhythm going, I hear the click of the door lock, and I scramble, trying to sit up and yank my hand out of my underwear in one go.

Jace and Alec stand in the doorway together, surprise on their faces. It quickly turns from surprise to identical looks of lust as they take in the situation.

“I thought you guys weren’t going to be back for another half hour!” I whine.

“Oh please, don’t stop on our behalf,” Jace purrs.

“We were the first group to present so we got to leave as soon as we were done,” Alec tells me, coming over to the side of the bed. He pulls my hand away from my underwear, bringing it up to his mouth before sticking my fingers in his mouth, tasting me.
