A/N: This chapter is Rated M! I vibed out to Gold by Kiara while working on this one. I have tried to paint a picture over the next few chapters of what Homecoming is like at a Historically Black College/Unversity and how it ifluences Black culture. Feel free to PM with any questions to references I don't explain fully.

As the weeks got closer to Dauntless Homecoming, Tris's schedule was unbelievably busy. Dauntless Homecoming is similar to most HBCU homecomings with an entire week dedicated with over 40 different activities and events scheduled. Over the week alumni and friends of the university from across the world will be descending on Charleston. Tobias was very understanding and helped out where he could, picking up dinner for him and Tris or taking her car to get the oil changed when she was stuck in meetings. Tris felt like she was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. This was the second due to her role as co-chair of the Homecoming Committee. She still double-checked to make sure every i was dotted and every t was crossed to ensure that the week was successful for the students and the alumni coming to town. Tris was also excited to share this experience with Tobias since this would be his first experience with Homecoming at a Historically Black University. By the time the third weekend in October rolls around, everything is in place and Tris can breathe a bit before the activities start.

Tris' mother arrives on the Thursday before Homecoming festivities so she and Tris can spend some time together since she knew Tris would be very busy during the upcoming week. While Tris is waiting at the airport arrivals terminal checking the flights she Natalie's flight just landed and decides to take a few minutes to text Tobias.

Tris: How was your day?

Tobias: Better now that I've heard from you

Tris: Stop trying to make me blush

Tobias: Did your mom make it?

Tris: Her plane just landed, waiting to scoop her up

Tobias: I can't wait to meet her, even though I'm sad I won't have you in my bed this week.

Tris: It will be all that better next week. :P

Tobias was taking Tris and Natalie to dinner on Friday night so he could formally meet his girlfriend's mother. He had originally asked Tris to spend the week at his place during Homecoming so she wouldn't have to do so much back and forth since his place was so close to the campus. Tris had laughed and asked him if he wasn't using Homecoming as an excuse to have her in his bed every day that week. When Tris' mother announced she was coming she had to cancel their sleepover plans not wanting to have her mother stay alone at her place. Tris didn't know how she was going to make through the next 10 days without his touch. She shakes her head trying to let her thoughts run wild before her panties become soaked. Thankfully she sees her mother and her naughty thoughts of Tobias are pushed out her mind for the time being.

"Hi, Mommy!" Tris exclaims as she embraces Natalie.

"Hi, Baby Girl," Natalie says sweetly, hugging her daughter tightly. She had seen Tris over mother's day weekend, but it had felt like it had been way too long since she had seen her daughter in person.

The two catch up on the new girls that are in the group home as Tris drives them the short distance to her house and Tris gives her mom a chance to rest and freshen up while Tris makes dinner.

"I wish Daddy could have come," Tris says as they sit around Tris' dinner table eating the meal Tris had prepared.

"I know me too, but there were some important meetings that he had to attend for the group home. He's been trying so hard to get a meeting with a potential donor and his secretary called this week. This would be a huge blessing for us if we can secure this new donor. It will put so so close to opening the new house."

Natalie and Andrew started the Abnegation group home when Tris and Caleb were 10 years old. Both Natalie and Andrew felt like they could be doing more than their state government jobs with the department of social services. It has been a long road and things had been very tight with their budget for several years until they were able to get more donations and a few grants to help with the expenses. The couple had used all of their savings to purchase an old victorian style home that had been foreclosed on an fallen into disrepair and have it renovated. The twins spent many weekends alongside their parents renovating the house. When completed the house held space for 12 girls and a staff member. The Priors have been working hard to be able to renovate another property to provide a space for young men. An elderly lady who had loved the group home and lived a few houses down had left her house to Andrew and Natalie to convert into a second home. While the house wasn't in too bad a shape, there were still many renovations that need to be completed to meet the regulatory requirements set forth by the state. Andrew had been working extra hard the past few months seeking corporate donations and he was so close to meeting his fundraising goal.

"So when do I get to meet this new man of yours, Baby Girl? Tell me about him" Natalie inquires with a smile. Tris laughs knowing that she and Ms. Hana have probably already started planning a wedding for her and Tobias but she decides to play along.

"Tomorrow. He's planning on taking us to dinner" Tris says, smiling, trying not to blush. "His name is Tobias and he's Ms. Hana's adoptive son which I bet you already knew but his parents are British. He is also the head of the History Department at Dauntless. He is beyond smart and very sweet and down to earth" Tris knew Tobias wouldn't mind if she told her mom about his upbringing but she felt like it was his story to tell so she didn't want to give away too much about his parents.

"Well, I can't wait to meet him. If Hana raised him I know he's the real deal. I had always wondered if you and Uriah would start dating." Natalie says approvingly.

"Mom, Uriah, and I are just friends, always have been. And actually he and Christina recently started dating." Tris adds.

"Really?, Well good for them and it seems like you are very happy. I don't know when I've seen you this happy sweetheart. You can't stop smiling." Natalie offers as she looks lovingly at her daughter.

"I am very happy, I don't know it's like something was missing before I met Tobias, something that I didn't even know was missing. And the crazy part is we've lived these lives where we just kept missing each other. Neither one of us can figure out how we never met before this summer." Tris confesses.

Natalie reaches over the tables and squeezes Tris's hand. "It sounds like this was meant to be. I felt the same way when I met your father." Natalie says with a far off look and a smile.

"It's been very intense, Mom. I keep trying to slow myself down with him and take things slowly but I keep falling back into imagining what life would be like if he was it for me". Tris says with a sigh.

"Listen, Baby Girl, sometimes when you know you just know. You know I had only known your father for a month before we started talking about getting married and were married six months after we met? We knew what we wanted and here we are 30 years later. I can say your grandparents weren't pleased with us moving so fast which is one reason we worked so hard to be on our own." Natalie explains.

"I knew you and Daddy got married in grad school but I had no idea," Tris says shocked about how little she knew about her parents when they were dating.

"What I learned from my experience is, you have to trust your gut and do what's right for you. I've learned that there is no set time frame. I know people who dated for only six weeks before getting married and have been happily married for over 20 years. Tris as long as you are happy, loved and he treats you well and you can be the best version of yourself, you move as fast or as slow as you want to with this man." Natalie tells Tris, her voice full of emotion.

"Thank you, Mommy, It's been so overwhelming feeling this especially after everything I went through with Peter," Tris says quietly.

Natalie sighed as she shook her head. She'd wondered how Tris was letting her last relationship influence this new one. She had never been one to pry into her children's relationships but she had known Peter wasn't the right one for Tris. When Tris has opened up about all she had gone through with Peter and Natalie suspected there was more she hadn't told her, she had a long talk with Tris about what she wanted out of a relationship and what had kept her with Peter for so long. She had hated how Peter had taken down Tris' self-confidence but she knew her daughter was strong and would find the right person to love and cherish her.

"Has Tobias given you any signs or feelings that he would treat you the same way Peter did?" Natalie asks.

"No, not at all," Tris says immediately shaking her head.

"Then don't make yourself crazy trying to over-analyze things and make any new man you meet out to be the same as Peter." Natalie offers.

"I can tell Tobias is different, I knew it the moment we met, I think I just need to get out of my own head". Tris says feeling better after hearing her mother's words.

"Good. Trust your heart sweetie. Fate sometimes has a way of dropping people in your life when you least expect it. By the way, Hana and I decided that we wanted to spend some time catching up and we know how busy you are with homecoming activities so I'm going to her house on Monday. I'll see you on campus every day and this gives Hana and I a chance to spend some time together".

"Mommy you don't have to do that." Tris says with a little bit of concern "I know you came to visit me and I want to be able to spend more time with you".

"Don't worry, I knew you are working this week and you would have a lot going on, I don't want you to have to worry about keeping me entertained all day every day. I will still see you every day I'm here. Besides Hana, and I have several classmates coming into town this week we are planning to spend time with and we have plenty to do with all the alumni events for us older folks". Natalie reassures her.

"So you know about Ms. Hana's new boyfriend?" Tris asks with an eyebrow raised.

"Yes I do honey," Natalie answers with a chuckle. "The three of us were thick as thieves during our years at Dauntless just like you, Christina and Uriah. Max is a good man. Hana deserves to be happy after spending so much time alone."

Thankfully Tris has the next day off since she will be working essentially every day and long hours for the next week. The mother and daughter continue to chat over dinner before heading to bed. The pair planned to do a little shopping and catch a movie before dinner with Tobias. That night as Tris climbs into bed and dials Tobias to say good night.

Tobias: Hello my love

Tris: I missed you today

Tobias: Mmmm me too

Tris: Well I have a surprise for you

Tobias: Hmmmm does it involve you and me wearing no clothes?

Tris: Seriously, Tobias, You are as bad as Uriah!

Tobias: I'm sorry, Please continue.

Tris: My mom and your mom have decided to have a girls' week and she's going to Ms. Hana's on Monday. So if you offer still stands….

Tobias: Of course, my week is looking up already.

Tris: I will pack my bags then. Good Night Baby, I love you.

Tobias: I love you too. I'll see you tomorrow.

Tobias didn't want to overdo it with his first time meeting Natalie Prior but he wanted to make a good impression. He made sure he brought flowers for her and his usual pink roses for Tris when he arrived to pick them up. Natalie Prior had an infectious smile that stood out against her warm russet brown skin and it was clear to see where Tris and learned her sense of community service. She was graceful in all of her movements and her voice was always a calming tone that reminded him of his adoptive mother.

He and Tris decided on a quiet Italian restaurant in Park Circle that she knew her mother would enjoy. Tris is overjoyed at how well Tobias and her mother seemed to get on as he talked about his time studying at Oxford and Northwestern. Natalie is impressed by Tobias and his accomplishments but more so she is impressed by his passion for teaching and by how much she can see he loves her daughter.

On Saturday, the campus holds a day of service for the community surrounding Dauntless University. Faculty, Staff, students, and alumni all come together to help various organizations. The football team has a bye week so Zeke is able to join in with the activities for the day. Zeke, Shauna, Hana, Natalie, Uriah, Christina, and Tris all sign up to work with the local Boys and Girls club. The kids are so excited to meet Zeke and he brings some Bears gear to sign and hand out. In the morning Zeke, Uriah, and Tobias play a game of flag football with the older boys from the center while the ladies help restore a classroom with fresh paint. Everyone had chipped in to purchase new board games and books for the center as well. After lunch, everyone works together with the Boys and Girls club staff to clean and restore the playground by placing new mulch and putting in a new swing set.

That evening Tobias hosts dinner for everyone at his place with Christina and Shauna helping Tris in the kitchen. Hana asks Max to join them as well and Tobias notices how Zeke and Uriah seem to be a little more at ease with him around this time but he also notices just how happy his surrogate mother is with Max. He had to admit it was weird experiencing their mother dating but Max really did seem like a nice man who genuinely loved her. Over dinner, Hana, Max, and Natalie keep everyone entertained telling stories of their Dauntless adventures. Tobias and Zeke share a look across the table and a smile. This moment, with their family together all smiling and laughing around the dinner table made his move to Charleston worth it.

Sunday is another relaxing day with Tris, Shauna, Christina, Natalie, and Hana having brunch and then attending the Gospel concert together while Zeke, Tobias, and Uriah spend some time playing golf.

"So I figured we could have a roundtable while we were out here," Tobias says after Zeke tees off on the 4th hole.

"You and Tris getting that serious already?" Uriah asks as he sets up his shot.

"Well there's that and yes I did tell her I loved her already but that's not it" Tobias replies as he leans on his driver.

"Nice Drive Uri," Zeke compliments after Uriah's swing.

"I've been talking to Harrison and I think I'm going to start pursuing Alpha". Tobias says quickly.

"Damn Bro, really...I might have to really consider disowning you" Uriah says with a straight face.

Tobias lets out a sigh and runs his hand across the back of his neck but then looks up and sees Uriah and Zeke trying to not laugh.

"So you two are okay with this?" Tobias asks still a bit hesitant.

"If we didn't disown you for dating that awful chick Nita, we can handle you being an Alpha," Zeke says with a laugh pulling Tobias into a headlock. "Besides your too much of a nerd to be an Omega any way"

"Ugh, I am not a nerd!" Tobias says playfully trying to get out of Zeke's headlock as he messes up his hair.

"Bro you really told Tris you loved her already?" Uriah asks as they climb into the golf cart and take off down the green to continue their game and Tobias laughs feeling happy that his brothers support his decision.

On Monday night, after the day's events. Tris uses the key Tobias had made for her as she walks through the door of his house. She's so grateful Tobias offered for her to stay at his place this week. She is dead tired tonight and the week is just getting started.

"Hey Baby, I wouldn't have gotten your bags for you," Tobias says as he comes down the stairs after hearing her come through the door.

"I know, I'm just so tired, I just want to take a shower and go to bed. I have another long day tomorrow." She says wearily.

"How about I draw you a bath and you can relax a little bit before bed" he offers.

"Yes, that would be absolutely amazing. I swear I don't deserve you". She says thankfully.

Tobias carries Tris' bags upstairs and runs her a bubble bath. When he comes back with a glass of wine for her after she throws her braids up into a high bun and settles into the bubble bath she can't help but sigh.

"Did I mention that I don't deserve you?" she says with a smile as she grabs his hand to pull him down for a kiss.

"You absolutely deserve me, and so much more," he says in a husky low tone as he leans down to give her another kiss before heading to the bedroom. Tris can't help but feel herself being to throb at the thought of his hands on her now. Suddenly she feels all the tiredness leave her body as she soaks in the tub, enjoying the warm water and the soft light of the candles Tobias lit for her. She finishes off her glass of wine and gets out of the tub drying off rubbing down with her lotion. She feels her lust growing as she comes out of the bathroom and sees Tobias sitting up in bed reading with just his boxers and glasses looking effortlessly sexy. As Tris makes her way to the bed wrapped in nothing but her towel, Tobias looks up and notices her.

"I thought you were relaxing," he says with a smirk.

"I thought of another way I want to relax," she says with a shrug. She drops her towel and the end of the bed and crawls on top of him completely naked. He loved her box braids that ran all the way down to her hips. She had taken them down from the bun they were in earlier and he thought she looked like an African goddess as they feel over her breasts.

Tris grins as she settles on top of him leaning down to kiss him sensually. She feels her body heat up as his hands roam over her body and she feels him harden and press against her core. Tobias moans as Tris moves her hands to his hair. He leans forward and takes one of her chocolate nipples in his mouth, licking and sucking making Tris become even wetter between her thighs. When Tobias moves to show equal attention to the other breast Tris feels like she just might explode.

"Baby, you are driving me crazy" Tris pants out, continuing to grind against him trying to create some type of friction.

Tobias chuckles, "Tell me what you want Tris" as he looks up into her eyes.

It was something about the way Tobias worshiped her body that made her feel so bold and vocal about what she wanted. Maybe it was the intense connection they had not just in bed, but also the complete trust that she had in him that she'd never felt before. She didn't think she had ever felt so comfortable letting a lover know what she wanted.

"I want you to fuck me, hard until you make me come. I don't think I can wait another minute for you to be inside me Baby", she breathes out. A look of almost animalistic lust comes over Tobias as he can see Tris almost squirming with how much she wants him.

Tobias groans at how blunt she is with her request and he doesn't waste another minute as he quickly moves Tris on to her back so he can take off his boxers. He moves two fingers into her folds to see how wet Tris. She moans as he caresses her wet opening and she kneads her breasts while spreading her legs for him. She gasps when he grabs her legs and flips her over on her stomach so quickly she's disoriented. He pulls her up on her knees and she lets out another gasp as she feels his tongue caressing her womanhood from behind. She can already feel herself building up to an orgasm as Tobias laps up all her wetness and grazes her clit with his teeth. Being in this position Tris can't see what he's doing and it makes it even more exciting when he pulls away his mouth and brings his fingers to rub her clit. All Tris can do is moan, enjoying this new position so much and the sensations running through her body. Tris lets out a high pitched cry of pleasure when Tobias' large hand slaps her ass with just the right amount of force. Tris wiggles her hips causing her ass to shake and jiggle wanting him to slide inside her and stop teasing her. Tobias lets out a groan and slaps her ass again with the same amount of force causing Tris to cry out again.

"Tris, all this ass, Ummmm Ummm Ummm'' Tobias says with a husky lust-filled tone as he pushes her head down into the bed and kneads and massages her ass which is now tilted up for him. Tobias slides the tip of dick up and down her wet folds causing Tris to wiggle against it trying to slide back to take his full length.

"Please Baby, stop teasing me" Tris wines trying to push herself up so she can rock back on to him. Tobias pushes her head down again but this time he slams into her from behind.

"Oh my God, Yes'' Tris cries out her hands clutching the sheets. Tobias pulls all the way out slowly so only the tip is still in and the slams into her again. Tobias pushes every inch of himself into Tris, so much that Tris has all the air knocked out of her. Tobias grunts as he moves in and out of her with hard thrusts, holding on to Tris' shoulder at the base of her neck.

"Yes, Tobias, God you're so good" Tris cries out as Tobias continues to pound in and out of her as she arches her back. The feeling in this position and the pressure created is almost too much for Tris to take, she's teetering on a line of pleasure and pain that is about to make her orgasm as she feels her walls clenching around Tobias' thick manhood. Tobias has a sheen on sweat covering his body. He's mesmerized by the sight of his dick coated in wetness disappearing in and out of Tris and the sound of their skin slapping.

As Tris' moans become louder and she clenches around him, he feels he won't last much longer. Tris reaches between her legs and begins to rub her clit. She tries to lift herself up with one arm but Tobias picks up the speed of his thrusts which knocks her upper body down and her face is pressed to the mattress and she turns her head as she gasps for air. Her body starts to shake as she vigorously rubs her clit and her orgasm starts.

"Fuck, Tobias, I"m cumming!" she screams as her toes curl.

"Yes that's it, cum for Daddy" Tobias praises as he relentlessly pounds her now. Tris is shaking uncontrollably as the room is filled with her screams of passion as Tobias follows her with his own orgasm. Tris groans as Tobias slows and rubs his hands over her hips as his thrusts slow. When he pulls out and collapses on the bed next to her, she rolls over and lays against his chest barely able to move. Tobias and Tris both doze off and when Tobias stirs he's not even sure how long they've been asleep. He reaches down to pull the covers over both of them and Tris stirs looking at him through heavy-lidded eyes.

"I swear it gets better every time". She says sleepily pressing herself closer to him. He pulls her close and presses his lips to her forehead. "Hell yes, I can't feel my legs right now," he says with a chuckle.

He glances down and sees Tris is fast asleep again. He kisses her on the forehead and murmurs "I love you". He smiles as he reaches over to turn off the bedside lamp and falls into a satisfying sleep with Tris in his arms.

When Tris wakes the next morning feeling light as a feather. She wasn't sure what time it was but she didn't feel Tobias next to her so she knew it was later than she thought. She rolls over on to one of his pillows and breathes in his scent. She grinned into the pillow as the memories of the night before flooded her brain. It was such a turn on that Tobias could be so gentle and loving but also so rough and dominant. She definitely wouldn't mind them exploring that side of their lovemaking more in the future. Tris shudders as a chill runs over her and her nipples stiffen, remembering how good it felt as Tobias took her from behind.

As she sits up and reaches for her phone, she grins from ear to ear as she sees a single pink rose, a take out container from Callie's Hot Little Biscuit, and a glass of orange juice on the nightstand next to her phone with a note.

"Sleep in and rest, See you at the Pep Rally tonight. Love you, T."

Every time she thought Tobias couldn't get any sweeter or more thoughtful, he does something that makes her grin like she's a teenager. She takes a quick selfie of her with the sheet just covering her breasts and sends it to Tobias with text saying I love you and thank you for breakfast. She couldn't help but take a quick picture for her IG story, leaving the note out of her picture. She had shared pics of her and Tobias already so it wasn't a secret she was in a relationship. Tris admits to herself she wouldn't mind waking up like this every morning and she reminds herself to slow down. But she can't deny the thought of her and Tobias living together excites her. She picks up her phone and groans as she sees it's already 9:30. Tobias taught at 9:00 and 1:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays so it was no wonder he had left early and let her sleep in.

She didn't have to be on campus until this afternoon due to having to work the Pep Rally that evening. She laughs when her phone pings with Tobias asking can he run home and join her in bed. She was planning on having lunch with her mom and Ms. Hanna today but she could afford to relax a little while longer before she needed to get ready. She moans when she takes a bite of her biscuit, it was so warm and fluffy. She had to give Tobias brownie points for remembering her order perfectly. Enjoying Tobias' soft expensive Egyptian cotton sheets, she settles back into the pillows and grabs the remote. She watches a few episodes of Living Single while munching on her bacon egg and cheese biscuit with peach basil jam while she sends off emails and texts from her phone to make sure everything for the day's activities are going according to plan.

There are tons of pins in the Homecoming section of my Pinterest Board rdixon417.

Callies' Hot Little Biscuit is another one of my Charleston foodie recommendations! I also believe there is one in Atlanta and Charlotte.
