Forrest took a deep breath. “We need to talk about safe words, for one. We want to make sure you have a way to stop anything if it ever gets to be too much. Have you ever used one before?”

Jessica shook her head, biting her lip. “No... but I know what they are. I’ve heard about them from the other Littles.”

Sebastian’s voice was low and steady, the voice of reason as always. “We’ll need to pick a word that’s easy for you to remember, something that you can say even if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Something like ‘red’.”

Jessica considered it for a moment. “How about just going with the traffic light system? Red for stop, yellow for slow down and green for go? It’s simple and I understand what it all means.”

Forrest smiled, his heart swelling with pride at how thoughtful and brave she was being. “That’s perfect, babygirl.”

“And how about things that we should avoid?” Rowan chimed in, his tone light but serious. “We don’t want to accidentally do something that could trigger you or make you feel uncomfortable.”

Jessica’s hands twisted in her lap, the sleeves of her sweater showing signs of wear from her nervous habit. “Um... I guess... I not sure I’d like restraints very much. Just the thought of being unable to move scares me. And anything with too much impact. I’ve never... you know, been hit in a way that was good.”

Forrest’s heart clenched at the quiet admission, his protective instincts flaring. “We won’t do anything like that, Jessie. We can even take spanking off the table completely. You’re in control, okay? If you’re not comfortable with something, we stop. No questions.”

Jessica nodded, her fingers still playing with the edge of her sleeve. “I dowantto be spanked.” Her words were so soft, that Forrest could hardly hear her. “I want to feel a good kind of pain.” She shrugged, looking up at them through her lashes.

“Okay, babygirl,” Forrest responded. “We can try a naked hand spanking. Take it from there, how does that sound?”

She nodded again. “And I’m not sure how I feel about... certain touches. I mean, I’ve never really done anything like that before, so I don’t know what might set me off.”

CHAPTER 7

Rowan’s heart pounded in his ears. Was their girl telling them she was a virgin?

“You mean, you’ve never had sex before?”

Her shocked gaze shot up, and she shook her head rigorously. “Oh, no! But I’ve only ever done it with one guy, and we were very young. He didn’t know what he was doing, and it was over so soon, nothing really happened other than he... you know... exploded.”

Rowan wasn’t sure if he felt relief or disappointment at her confession.

“Okay, then we’ll take it slow,” Sebastian reassured her, picking up the conversation when Rowan didn’t speak up again. “We’ll start with small things, and you can tell us what feels good, and what doesn’t.”

Rowan could see the uncertainty in her eyes, but there was also a flicker of excitement. She wanted this. With all three of them. Even if she was scared. And he knew that together they could make this a safe space for her to explore without fear.

“And Derek will be setting up a private room for us,” Forrest added. “It will be the four of us, and then someone specialto oversee everything. Ensure your safety—just in case. It’s all about making you feel safe, Jessie.”

Jessica exhaled softly, her shoulders relaxing slightly. “Okay... I’m ready for this, I trust you guys.”

The weight of her words wasn’t lost on any of them. This wasn’t just about physical intimacy—it was about trust, vulnerability, and the unspoken connection that was slowly building between them. They were stepping into uncharted territory, but they would do it together.

“We’ll take care of you, little one,” Rowan said softly, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to her forehead.

“And we’ll only go as far as you want,” Forrest added, his hand resting on hers.

Jessica nodded, her eyes, meeting theirs in return. “I’m ready to try.”

As the conversation came to a close, the tension in the room eased, leaving only the warm glow of the fire and the soft hum of anticipation. Tonight would be about trust—about guiding Jessica into a world she had long been curious about but had never had the chance to explore. And Forrest, Sebastian, and Rowan would be there with her, every step of the way.

“I have one more question though,” Jessica spoke up, looking at them with her shy expression and her cheeks warm with a glow that was soon to be explained.

“Yes, babygirl?” Forrest prompted.

“Does that mean I get to call you three Daddy now?”

Rowan’s warm laughter filled the surrounding air, and he couldn’t stop himself from leaning over and hugging their sweet girl. At first, she remained stiff in his arms, but after a scant few seconds, her frame softened and she settled into his embrace.

“Yes, princess. That’s exactly what it means,” Rowan murmured against her hair, relishing the fresh, floral scent.
