Maybe next time. Next time? What, Thea?No.There is nonext time. Not with them. Last night was a one off. They wanted to thank me for helping Holden out of that spider monkey’s clutches. This isn’t the start of any type of multi-partner arrangement.

Even if it were, Wolfe wouldn’t be interested. He’s made his position clear. He’ll accept me hooking up with other people, because he can’t offer me any kind of commitment, but he doesn’t want to hear about it.

And yet, he didn’t seem to mind that I was here and what they were planning to do. He even wished them good luck after talking me through my first orgasm. So would he go for it? Just one time?

My body heats just thinking about it. I shake my head, clearing my thoughts. It’s not happening. Or I try to clear my thoughts, but now my brain is stuck on the idea of the three of them with their hands, mouths and dicks all over me.

I glance over to the chair where Pax was sitting. He saw everything. I don’t care what Finn says, Pax isn’t the least bit remorseful about how he’s treated me. Is still treating me. I’m sure he’ll have some snide ass comment when I see him again. I might not want a repeat, but I’m not ashamed of what happened.

I slip out of bed and hunt around for my panties, which I’m sure Holden took off and tossed onto the floor with my yoga pants. Maybe not. They could be on the bed which means Finn might be sleeping on them. I pull my clothes on, minus the bra, retrieve my shoes from where they landed by the chair, and walk barefoot to the front door to let myself out.

I have several missed calls and messages. I text LJ letting her know I’ll meet her for breakfast in thirty minutes. I let out an exasperated sigh as I read the rest. I’ve still got a lot of shit to sort out with my life, like dealing with what I’m sure is gonna be an argument with Joshua about his failed attempt to turn me into some kind of bodyguard, my relationship with Moira and Scott, and the still unanswered questions regarding my attack.

I put out some clean clothes and brush my teeth while the water heats up in my shower. My muscles ache but in that way I welcome after a good round of sex. I’m smiling when I step under the shower spray, because despite all the bullshit I’ve got going on, last night gave me something I’ve been in short supply of lately. Fun.

“Oh, shit!” I yelp when I step into the hallway to head to breakfast. Finn’s standing there smirking down at me. I move to sidestep him, but he pushes me against the wall.

“You snuck out on me, this morning.” He nips my ear, and the hollow of my throat. “Now what was more pressing than waking up with me? Hmm?”

“A shower, for starters.”

“I have one of those in my room.”

“And breakfast.”

“Are you saying we helped you work up an appetite, Pet?”

“I’m saying, I’m hungry.”

“Me, too. Only what I want isn’t being served at The Rock.” He bends his knees, and presses closer. He rocks against me, letting me feel how hard he is. “Come back to bed.”

Morning sex isn’t a half bad idea, but I’ve already showered and confirmed meeting up with LJ. I can’t bail on her for dick. No matter how good that dick is.

“I can’t. I’m meeting LJ for breakfast.”

“Then what am I going to do with all this pent up energy?”

He kisses me, his tongue sliding against mine, as he grabs my ass, pulling me closer. His erection hitting me with just the right amount of pressure against my clit. I’m panting when we break apart, but he’s not done trying to convince me. He bites my neck, then sucks on the flesh, while his hand reaches between us to rub my throbbing clit.

“Finn!”

“God, I love the sound of you panting my name like that.”

If I don’t stop this now, I’m gonna be late. I can’t be late. I need my time with LJ. I push him away, ignoring the heated gaze he’s giving me. “I have plans. Now you can either take a cold shower, finish yourself off, or go work out. Hell, do all three. But you’re not going to convince me to let you fuck me right now.”

He grins down at me. “Fine. We’ll put this on pause, and I’ll convince you to let me fuck you later.”

My mouth gapes open as I realize what just happened. He’s in his room before I can clarify that that’snotwhat I meant. Sneaky fucker.

Epilogue

Pax

I’m really questioning my friendships right now. We thrive on antagonizing people. On finding that thing that makes them uncomfortable and pressing down on it. We hunt out secrets and use them to make the other students fall in line, to conform, or to punish them. But, we’ve never done it to each other.

Holden and Finn didn’t come right out and say it, but I know that’s what last night was supposed to be about. Getting me to admit to feeling regret about what we’ve done to Thea.
