Forrest sat down on the bed next to her, his hand holding hers in his lap.

“You went into subspace, babygirl. It’s incredibly rare for a new submissive to do that their first time.” His smile was proud and filled with warmth.

“Does that mean I did it wrong?” Jessica asked, even though his expression told her differently.

“Oh, no, babygirl. It means you’re even more perfect than we thought possible.” Forrest bent over and captured her mouth in a chaste kiss. “It does, however, mean, we’re done for tonight. I don’t want to push it too much.”

Jessica knew she should be disappointed that they hadn’t done anything more intimate, but her body still felt warm and tingly all over, so she couldn’t muster a single negative emotion.

Sebastian helped Jessica sit up, holding a bottle of water up to her mouth. Once satisfied that she’d had enough to drink, he too kissed her before making room for Rowan to sit next to her.

“Does that beautiful smile mean you’ll see us again?” Rowan asked her, his voice gruff.

“Without a doubt. But can I have some more cuddles before we go?”

All three men smiled at her, quickly agreeing, as Rowan pulled her into his embrace.

CHAPTER 9

Jessica was buzzing from the night before. She had a glow about her that didn’t go unnoticed by anyone, least of all the few friends she’d made at the Ranch. That morning, she found herself sitting with Alice and Sadie in Alice’s room. It was quiet for once, as most of the Littles from the dorm were in the crafts room.

Alice, ever the curious one, eyed Jessica with a grin. “So... how was it? I saw you leave with three Daddies yesterday morning, and don’t think for a second I won’t get the details.”

Jessica flushed, ducking her head as the girls turned toward her. Sadie’s eyes, which usually held a bit of mischief, were locked on to her with interest. Jessica sighed, a small smile playing on her lips. “It was... nice. They’re really kind, and they’re helping me explore things I haven’t before.”

Alice gave a delighted clap. “I knew it! You’ve had this spark about you all morning. I’m so happy for you!”

“That’s amazing, Jessie! Daddy told me about them, and they sound like the perfect Daddies for you,” Sadie told her with a smile.

Jessica shrugged. “It’s only for a little while. They’re just here for a few weeks, and then they’ll be moving on.”

Sadie’s smile fell and her eyes darkened. She didn’t join Alice in her encouragement that it would be amazing either way. Instead, she crossed her arms, leaning back into the pillows behind her. “Temporary? You’re saying they’re not staying for you?” she asked, her voice flat.

Jessica nodded, not expecting the weight of Sadie’s reaction. “Yeah, just for a few weeks.”

Sadie pursed her lips, a storm brewing in her eyes. Jessica could almost see the gears turning in her friend’s mind, and she didn’t like it. Sadie wasn’t one to hide her feelings when she was upset, and if there was one thing Jessica knew, it was that her friend had a mischievous streak a mile wide.

“You don’t look happy about that,” Alice teased, noticing Sadie’s sudden change in mood.

Sadie shrugged, but the tension in her shoulders was hard to miss. “I just think it’s a shame, that’s all. Why would they leave? Seems to me they’ve got a perfect setup right here.”

Jessica narrowed her eyes, sensing where this was headed. She loved Sadie dearly, but when her friend was like this, she tended to stir up trouble. And right now, Jessica didn’t want trouble—not with her Daddies, and not with Sadie’s wild ideas.

So, before Sadie could escalate her frustrations into something dramatic, Jessica did something she rarely ever did. She leaned forward with a mischievous glint in her eyes and said, “You know what? It’s been way too long since we’ve pulled a decent prank on the Bigs.”

Her friends perked up at this, Sadie’s expression softened just a little with intrigue. Alice was the first to jump in, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Ooh, what did you have in mind?”

Jessica bit back a grin, letting the idea bloom fully in her mind before sharing it. “Well, there’s that karaoke night coming up, right? I say we make a small adjustment to the song list...maybe throw in a few surprise tracks that the Bigs won’t see coming.”

Alice erupted in laughter, clearly loving the idea. Even Sadie couldn’t hide her grin now, though her arms remained crossed. “That could be fun,” she admitted, the storm clouds in her eyes dissipating for the moment.

Alice leaned in closer. “What kind of songs are we talking about here?”

“Oh you know, the ones that’ll make them blush.” Jessica winked. “Or better yet, ones they can’t sing without laughing. We’ll have to make sure all the mics are set up so they can’t escape either.”

Sadie finally relaxed, her eyes twinkling with approval. “I like it. If we’re going to be sneaky, we might as well go all in.”

Jessica felt a surge of relief. Crisis averted, and now they had a fun plan to focus on. The conversation shifted to the prank logistics, and soon all of them were tossing out song ideas and giggling over which Bigs would have the funniest reactions. It was a harmless prank. For once they weren’t messing with Chef Connor and their lunch. It had the added benefit of distracting Sadie from her earlier upset, which was exactly what Jessica needed right now.
