A/N: When I said I would write a birthday/thank you fic for luvconnor, I wasn't quite prepared for the curveball she threw me... but always one for a challenge, here goes!

If you enjoy, please let me know. Be gentle, whilst I have written threesomes before, this is the first with two females. There will be a little femmeslash in part 2.

She couldn't help it, that image was firmly implanted in her head even though she knew it was completely wrong to dwell on it. He was well and truly spoken for and she should just put all of those naughty thoughts to the back of her mind and file them under 'don't go there' – but the sight of Connor Temple emerging from the shower, dripping wet and totally naked, was just too hard to ignore no matter how hard Jess tried.

It was a little ironic that it had happened. Only a couple of weeks ago, after he and Abby had just moved in, it was him that had walked in on Jess in the bathroom. It was him that had insisted on fitting a bolt to the door to save any further embarrassment, so the fact he was the first one to forget to pull it across amused her.

To make matters worse, the walls of the flat were a little too thin, and now Jess had something else on her mind that she couldn't shake away. Her flatmates were pretty vocal most nights and Jess had learnt to shut the noise out; her MP3 player worked well or sometimes the pillow would be enough to drown out the cries and gasps of pleasure as Connor and Abby demonstrated just how much they loved each other. Tonight, she couldn't block it out. As she listened to Abby in the throes of another orgasm, all Jess could think about was Connor. Dripping wet. Naked. No wonder Abby was so loud; who could blame her? In those brief seconds she'd seen him, she'd established that Connor was incredibly fit and that the bulge in his jeans that was a main topic of conversation amongst the female employees at the ARC was definitely not padding. Abby was one very lucky woman.

Without realising, Jess's fingers had slid inside the tiny shorts she wore to sleep in. She heard herself gasp out and then swallowed it down, afraid that they would hear her. After all, if she could hear them so clearly, they would surely hear her. Her long, nimble fingers, used to whizzing over a computer keyboard with speed and accuracy, deftly opened her dripping folds and slid inside. She was fighting a battle in her head, one she was losing. As she felt the nerve endings in her body begin to fire, it was all she could do to suppress her moans. Then, as the wave crashed through her thrashing body she couldn't stop it. The words spilt from her lips so naturally it was almost as if they had been there forever. "Connor! So good! Connor!"

Suddenly, Jess was thrown back into reality. It had gone silent in the adjoining room. Jess held her breath and waited; perhaps they'd just fallen asleep? Then she heard Abby's voice calling.

"Jess? Everything OK?"

Did she answer? Had they heard her? More importantly, had they heard what she said? She decided to pretend she was asleep. If it was questioned, she could say she was just calling out in her sleep – although there would probably still be questions as to why she was calling Connor's name in that way. She thought she could hear movement from Connor and Abby's room, but then it went quiet. Hopefully they'd dismissed it and were settling down to go to sleep.

"Jess? Are you alright?"

Abby's voice sounded closer; she must be right outside the door now. Jess knew she'd have to say something, otherwise Abby would probably think she was hurt or ill and come in.

"I'm good, thanks. Just a bad dream, that's all. Nothing to worry about. Sorry if I disturbed you."

"Bad dream, my foot!" The bedroom door was flung open and Jess braced herself for the wrath of Abby. When the angry words didn't come, Jess slowly opened her eyes and strained in the dark to try and gauge Abby's mood. To her surprise, Abby was smiling, leaning against the door frame with her arms folded. "We heard what you said."

"I'm sorry, Abby! It was just a … I'd never act on it because I know he's so totally in love with you and I..."

"You don't have to apologise. Can I sit?" Jess nodded and sat up in the bed whilst Abby settled on the end, pulling her dressing gown around her. "Connor told me what happened this morning in the bathroom."

"I didn't know he was in there, and he hadn't pulled the bolt across."

"Jess, you don't have to look so worried!" Abby leaned over and placed her hand on Jess's to reassure her. "And I completely understand why you would be... having thoughts. Same happened to me when Connor and I shared a flat before we got stranded in the past. I caught him naked a couple of times, and though I'd never openly admit it I thought he was pretty fit."

"It's not the same though," Jess protested. "He was single then. He's your boyfriend, it's not acceptable for another woman to be..."

Abby had placed a finger on Jess's lips. "Connor and I have been talking about things for a little while now. One of the things we spent a lot of time doing in the Cretaceous was sharing our sexual fantasies, and now we'd like to try out one or two of them."

Jess could only nod. Her throat was tight and her heart pounding, unsure where this conversation was leading. She knew Abby had a temper at times; it was one of the things Becker had said about her when Jess had asked him about Connor, Abby and Danny. This was a calm before the storm, and any minute now Jess would feel the full force of Abby's rage.

"Connor's like most men," Abby continued. "He says he'd like another woman to join us as long as it was OK with me. When he walked in on you that time, we did wonder then if you'd be up for it... but we dismissed the idea because you seem so hooked on Becker."

Jess opened her mouth to respond, but Abby cut her dead. "Then this happened... you were fantasizing about Connor weren't you?"

She guessed her expression resembled that of a rabbit caught in a car's headlights right now because Abby laughed. "You don't have to answer, it was pretty obvious. Look, the offer is there, but if you're not interested then I understand." She stood up and moved towards the door.

"Abby? When you say offer... you mean, Connor's fantasy? You're asking me to be the other woman?"

"If you're not with us in ten minutes, we'll just lock the bedroom door and have a rethink." Jess's door was closed, and she was left blinking in disbelief at the space Abby had just vacated. It certainly wasn't the first time Jess had been propositioned and she'd had some interesting nights back at college, but this was different. She lived and worked with these people, the consequences could be dire. But then, if she declined, there would always be a 'what if?' in her head along with that image of Connor.

Decision made, Jess pulled back her bed covers and made her way on shaky legs to Connor and Abby's room.
