Bella

I was all smiles that night when I got home. Even when Charlie started questioning me over my good mood, I gave nothing away, wanting to wait for the right time to introduce him to my lovely ladies. We weren't quite at the 'meet the parents' stage, and considering I doubt my mom would give two shits about my current love life, I didn't feel too bad for putting it off.

Dinner that evening was a few simple burgers and some fried potato wedges. Charlie seemed over the moon with the meal, and I couldn't help giving a pitying laugh as I thought about his terrible eating habits before I'd arrived.

I was finished with my homework in record time, so by the time I was settling in for the night in my room, I decided to take a look at the book I'd gotten the other week. I'd read it off and on over the last few days but all it did was reinforce the idea in my head that my girlfriends and their family were vampires. I didn't bother letting myself sit on any of the modern mythos considering I'd seen the family out in the daylight, at least half of them were wearing silver jewelry, and Edward wore a cross. Combine with that, I'd never actually seen them take a single bite of food at lunch, some of which I know was laced with garlic, so that kind of blew the common lore out of the water.

Still, their matching gold eyes and lack of eating, along with their ice-cold skin and impossible strength and speed was more than obvious to me. But then again, I had no real proof and the only way I was going to get any conclusions would be...to ask them.

At least, that was my thought until the end of school the next day. Friday had come, and I was more than excited to spend the day with my lady loves. We wound up having to tone down our PDAs after a particularly intense 'good morning' kiss had turned...hot. I still hadn't managed to clear the blush from my cheeks when Coach Clapp of all people stumbled upon us.

"I don't care what you do in your own time," he'd practically shouted, "But when you're at school, you're here to learn! If I see any more displays like this one, you'll find yourselves running laps for the next month!" And with that, the red-faced man had turned and stomped off to his own office.

Rosalie wasn't one to give up easily, especially coming from someone she said, "...hasn't gotten laid in the last decade." It was Alice's pleading comments that really forced us to consider being more careful.

"I really don't wanna take a chance on us getting detention or grounded. That would mean less time we get to spend together!" I had to admit, she had a point. The idea of missing any of the opportunities to spend time with my ladies was a painful prospect indeed.

"Don't worry," I chimed in with a smile, wrapping my arms around their waists as I pulled them close to me. "We'll just have to be more careful! After this year, we're all graduating and then nothing can stop us!" I knew I was assuming a lot with that statement, but my mind couldn't help imagining a future where we're all together no matter what.

Apparently, neither could the girls, as Rosalie leaned in to press a kiss to my temple. "You're right. This is just so new to us, I don't think either of us wants to miss a moment of being with our girlfriend."

Not gonna lie, I preened for the rest of the day after that statement. These girls were impossible! Can't say I didn't feel the same damn way though.

It was around lunch that I got my first real confirmation about my suspicions about the Cullen family. It came in the form of Tyler Crowley's van swerving into the parking lot while I waited for Alice and Rosalie to join me by my truck.

It's a life changing moment, having a van barreling out of control right for your face...

Alice

The vision that hit me as I went to grab my phone charger out of my car sent a jolt of terror down my spine. I had only just looked up as the screech of tires filled the air, my voice calling out to the only person I knew could help. "Rosalie! Save Bella!"

I had no idea how close she was, but I knew I wouldn't make it in time even before the vision had fully faded from my mind. Students were crying out, the van was already skidding sideways past where my car was parked. My heart, long since dead, lurched painfully in my chest, my body shaking as my mate's life came under peril.

Rosalie

Alice's terrified shout reached my ears as soon as I exited the main building, even though her words were quieter than human hearing. It had been a long, annoyingly boring day and I was looking forward to spending more time with our mate.

I looked around with my heightened senses alert, finding Bella standing nearly fifty feet away from me on the opposite side of her truck with an old van sliding towards her.

I was rushing past the distracted student body, reaching vampiric speeds in an instance as I threw myself in front of the brunette, shoving her aside as gently as possible. The sound of her head hitting the concrete with a solid thwack made me cringe as I braced my hand against the van to stop it in its tracks. I was already turning to Bella, wetness welling up in my eyes as she cried out, body curling fetal as she clutched her head.

"Bella!" I crowed, my voice desperate as I slowly reached for her, scooping her fragile body up until she was cradled against my chest. "I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"

I felt Alice there, the petite vampire having moved at a more human pace to reach us as students gathered. Tyler had gotten out of his van, his apologies grating on my nerves as I forced back a growl. Eventually, Bella pulled back enough to look up at Alice and I gathered in front of her.

"I knew it," she grinned with a strained look, her vision seeming to dim as she groaned in pain. "You two have some explaining to do."

I flinched, glancing at Alice who had a concerned look on her face. We'd just been found out, hadn't we? With a heavy sigh, I nodded to the girl in agreement. "After we get you fixed up at the hospital, we'll talk."

I wondered if this would change anything. I hoped not, but I couldn't help the painful lurch of fear that came with the thought. Would she accept us if she knew the truth?

Alice's hand on mine drew my gaze as we helped Bella slowly to her feet. Her gaze reassured me with a happy little smile. It told me more than words that our little Bella would accept this not-so-little facet just as she had accepted everything else about us so far.

Bella

So my original diagnosis was a concussion, but I was assured by none other than Dr. Carlisle Cullen, my girlfriends' dad, that there was no swelling and that so long as I took it easy for a few days, I'd heal up just fine.

"What the hell were you thinking, kid!" I cringed at the sound of my dad's raised voice as he entered the ER. Tyler had been apologizing every few minutes and I was so getting sick of it. It was an accident, I got it. No, I didn't blame him, it could have happened to anyone. Shut up, Tyler.

"You can kiss your license goodbye!" Gods, Charlie was on a roll. The soothing cool sensations on either one of my shoulders brought a smile to my face even as I pushed myself stiltedly into a sitting position.

"Dad, I'm fine," I called out, drawing his attention to me finally. His face seemed to blanch as he realized I wasn't alone and I had to fight back a smirk. My ladies were gorgeous, and no one was immune to that. "In fact, I'd like to introduce you to someone." I reached up and took each of their hands in one of mine, joining them together in my lap. "Girls, meet my father, Charlie Swan. Dad, I'd like to introduce Alice and Rosalie..." I let my voice drift off, pausing to look between the girls for permission, which I received in the way of a pair of smirks and nods.

"My girlfriends," I finally added, my face flushing even as the biggest grin slid over my lips.

Charlie was in the process of offering his hand to the girls before it stilled, his face going slack momentarily. He blinked several times before he finally managed to speak, "You mean, like, friends who are girls, or...?"

I couldn't help but laugh while Alice's tinkling giggle filled the air. "No, dad, as in I'm dating them."

And now I know where my tendency for blushing comes from, because his face could rival mine on the best of days. He was looking anywhere but at us as he cleared his throat several times. "We'll...discuss that when we get home. Let's go, you've been released."

I couldn't stop the groan that passed my lips, drawing the soft hands up to my face so I could place kisses on each set of knuckles. "Looks like we're gonna have to postpone our date today, my ladies."

The sound of Charlie's choking mutter almost had me laughing again as he turned completely away. I continued in a whisper that I knew both of them could hear. "Don't think you're getting out of our talk. Tomorrow, noon, your place or mine?"

Rosalie's rumbling laugh was suddenly pressed into my right side and I had to fight the gasp that wanted to slip past my parted lips. "Hmm, I think we'll go with our place. We wouldn't want your father disrupting our...talk." Oh fuck, that is the most suggestive way I've ever heard someone refer to a conversation and I was looking forward to ever...single...word.

"I look forward to it, my loves," I replied, still conscious of the lack of privacy. Rosalie helped me into a standing position, and before I knew it, Alice had joined us, her hands resting on my shoulder and waist as if afraid I might suddenly fall. I mean, it was a valid concern, considering my klutzy history, despite my refusal of pain medication. I didn't like the way that stuff made me feel, so ibuprofen is the worst I'll take.

Sighing, knowing I couldn't draw our interactions out much longer, I leaned up and gave Rosalie a gentle kiss to her cool, soft lips, followed by Alice. "I'll text you two later."

"Be safe, mon coeur," Alice murmured against my neck as she hugged me close.

"And please, for the love of the gods, stay away from traffic. You're the only girl I know who could walk away from nearly getting body-checked by a van."

"Hey!" but they were already walking away, smiles on their faces and sways to their hips. Gods, I hated to see them go, but I loved to watch them leave.

"You okay there, sport?" I jumped a little, realizing I had been staring after them for several moments after they had disappeared.

Turning to Charlie, I just shrugged with a chagrined smile. "Yeah, this whole accident thing just sucks. I had plans today, dammit!"

My old man's chuckle was a little more playful now that he'd had a little time to process and the objects of my affections were gone. We were making our way out of the hospital and to his police cruiser before he finally commented. "So...both girls?"

I gave a heavy, put-upon sigh that I didn't really feel, shooting Charlie a smirk in the end. "Yes, dad, I'm dating those two gorgeous, wonderful girls. I told you I would make you eat those words, didn't I?"

He just chuckled in that dad way of his as he shook his head. "Yeah, kid, you did. I just didn't think you meant it this way. I mean, how does that even work?"

I turned my head to look out the window, hiding my lecherous grin. "Well, dad, when three women love each other very, very much..."

He slapped my arm and I couldn't help but laugh at how uncomfortable he looked. "You know what I mean, girl!"

Still chuckling, I nodded, settling back into my seat comfortably. "Yeah, I do. I guess I should start by saying I believe in polyamory. I believe that if there is trust and love, then there should be no boundaries and no secrets. I believe in loving more than one person without those loves losing their worth. And it turns out those two beautiful girls are willing to date me."

"Huh," he said, his mind slowly turning over what I was saying. I felt sorry for him, I really did. First he finds out his daughter isn't the straightest arrow in the quiver, and now he was coming to terms with the fact that said daughter doesn't follow traditional monogamous relationships. "So...I mean, I know they're sisters...but are they..."

I snorted, thinking briefly about that kiss those two had shared during 'the locker room incident,' as I decided to call it. "Nah, they aren't with each other so far as I know. And they're adopted, so stop acting like it would be weird."

His laugh was more of a scoff. "'Weird' lost its meaning the moment my daughter came to live with me," he patted my shoulder in a loving gesture. "I know I'm gonna keep sounding like the outdated old man I am, but I want you to know that I am trying. It makes me proud to see you so happy and confident. You know, you get your luck with the ladies from me."

His boyish grin made him look years young and I couldn't help but return the look. "I have no doubt about that, Charlie."

I was halfway through a text to my lady loves as I climbed the stairs to my room, Charlie having volunteered to make something for dinner that night. I wasn't sure if I would survive the night but I figured I'd at least give him a chance. My head was really starting to hurt and part of me was regretting not taking something stronger.

A hand covering my mouth cut off my scream, the cold feel of the body pressing into me from behind just as I entered my room nearly throwing me into a panic even as I recognized my attacker's scent. Snatching at the hand, I whispered harshly, "You two are going to give me a fucking heart attack!"

Alice's giggle came from my bed and it was only then that I found the tiny woman laying there, Rosalie's rumbling laughter sending shivers up my spine at the same time. It took me several seconds before I realized...they were in my room! My personal goddesses were here, sitting in my room, even though I knew the front and back doors had been locked.

"Window," Alice whispered, and, yeah, duh. The window didn't have a working latch, but I had never once been bothered by it since I was on the second floor. "Sorry for sneaking in like this, but we couldn't quite wait until tomorrow to have this conversation. We wanted to get this out in the open so we can enjoy our weekend together."

I sighed, nodding, my heart still racing, though the cause was different now. Rosalie had yet to release me and I turned to look over my shoulder at her, catching sight of that yummy smirk as she kicked my door shut without so much as a backwards glance. "Gods, you're sexy." Shit. "That...was supposed to stay up here," I tapped my head, grinning like the idiot I am.

Rosalie just smiled and gently took my arm, leading me over to the bed. Not gonna lie, my heart rate leaped at the suggestive images that flooded my mind. Not the time! Calm the fuck down, libido!

Alice had sat up near the head of the bed, so I took up my spot at her side, Rosalie taking up a close seat next to me. "So," I murmured, not quite knowing where to start. "You're vampires." Or that'll do. Foot, meet mouth.

Rosalie's sharp intake of breath made me tense, but her voice was relaxed when she spoke. "Yes." She paused, and I turned to meet her unblinking amber eyes. "You don't seem surprised."

I shrugged, gesturing vaguely because I couldn't quite sit still. "I may not be the sharpest crayon in the toolbox, but I can put two and two together. Besides," I smirked, arching an eyebrow at the blonde. "I've spent enough times with your glorious bodies pressed against me that I've had time to...notice a few things about my lovely ladies. Combined with the Quileute legends I've been researching since my visit to La Push and, well, two and two makes vampire."

"And you're not scared?" Alice asked, drawing my gaze to the smaller girl. She looked more curious than concerned so I just shrugged.

"You don't feed from humans, right?" They both shook their heads. "And you're around humans at school all the time. If you were dangerous, I'm sure we would have heard about it by now." I thought about those black eyes that were all at once terrifying and yet beautifully enticing. "Well, I wouldn't say you're not dangerous. I remember what you did to those men when you rescued me. You were pulling your punches, weren't you?" I turned a teasing grin to Rosalie, watching as her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Unfortunately," she muttered. "They're lucky they left with their lives."

I shivered at the rumbling sound of her voice, placing my hand over hers in her lap. "I know, and I thank you both for saving me that day, and for sparing those despicable men their lives. I wouldn't want you two to draw attention to yourselves because of me being a stupid human."

"That," Alice literally growled, "stops now." When I turned my wide-eyed gaze on her, she cupped my face in the cold fingers of one of her delicate hands. "You degrading and putting yourself down, even if it's just in jest. That needs to stop. We won't have you besmirching our mate's name like that."

I smiled, taking her hand in mine so I could turn into her palm, pressing a kiss there. "I promise I will try." I paused for a moment before furrowing my brows. "'Mate?' Is that like a vampire name for a girlfriend? 'Cause I think I like it."

Rosalie's laugh drew my gaze back to her and I shook my head quickly, shifting backward on the bed until I was sitting cross-legged facing the two women. "Sorry, I got tired of playing peekaboo back and forth." I chuckled at the sweet smiles I received as they both turned to face me more directly.

It was Rosalie who answered my initial question. "Vampires...well, we have what some consider predestined mates, soulmates, if you will. One person whom we connect to instantly and completely. An immediate love so pure and complete that it cannot be ignored or denied. Until the start of this school year, there had never been a case of two vampires mating to a single human."

I blinked, my heart fluttering at the idea of those words. It was exactly what I felt from the moment I'd laid eyes on these two beautiful vampires-pure and unfettered love, a desperate need to know them, to be close to them. "So...I'm your mate...both of you?" Gods, that felt wonderful just to say, but it also had a strong permanence to it that pulled at my heart strings. It felt so much better than 'girlfriends'.

Alice was nodding with a loving smile, rocking back and forth like she was having trouble sitting still. "Yes, and I knew from the beginning. You see, some vampires have special abilities, talents that they either carry over from their human lives or that manifest when they are turned. Jasper can feel and manipulate people's emotions, Edward can read people's minds. Me, I can see the future based on people's decisions. The night before our first day of school, I had a vision of you."

My smile turned bashful at that, my emotions warming me from the inside. "You saw me, even before we met?" Then my mouth fell open, horror filling me. "Edward can read minds?!"

I didn't realize I had shouted that part until I heard Charlie calling up to me from downstairs. "You okay, Bells?"

"Y-Yeah, dad, just stubbed my toe!" There was quiet before the sound of the TV droned on from the living room. I turned back to the girls, noticing how still they had become and laughing a little. "Sorry, but seriously, Edward can read minds?"

"Yes," Rosalie said with a small laugh, "But not yours, so don't worry. All those naughty little thoughts you've been having about us are safe...for now." The heated look she sent me caused a small flutter in my lower abdomen that I staunchly tried to ignore.

"Good, that's good. I'd hate for that little creep to be able to see inside my head. Might scar his poor little gay heart." Both girls struggled to suppress their laughter, my own hand pressing to my lips to fight back the rising urge to cackle like mad. "But seriously, what did you see, Alice?"

Alice's ever-present grin turned into this bashful little line as she turned away towards the window. "I can't go over the details yet, but suffice to say I saw you, myself, and Rosalie together in a happy, loving relationship."

I nearly squealed, and, unable to resist, I threw myself at the girl and wrapped my arms around her in a tight hug. "That makes me so happy! So you knew from the beginning that we would be together!" I could feel her nodding against me, which made me realize what I was doing and pulled back. "And what about you?" I turned to Rosalie, who was smiling lovingly at us from the other corner of the bed.

Rosalie's look turned into a glare as she stared Alice down. "I had no idea that we shared a mate, or even that I had a mate out there until that first day in the cafeteria. Someone forgot to mention what she had seen and has been playing the nosy little seer from the beginning."

Still leaning against her, I shoved Alice's shoulder playfully. "You didn't tell Rosalie? How mean!"

She grinned, sticking her tongue out at the blonde. "Oh, she loved every bit of my 'help' I gave her in seducing 'her mate'." She completed the statement with air quotes and everything, which was adorable. "I did have fun, though," she grinned, turned to look at me proudly, the chaotic little minx.

"I was wrong," I murmured, drawing a curious gaze from both girls. "You're not a pixie goddess, you're a gremlin!" I had to jump across the bed and into Rosalie's arms as Alice made a sound of indignation and reached out with her fingers crooked in what I assumed was an attempt to tickle me. "Save me from the evil little demon!"

Rosalie's free laugh was wondrous to behold, and hearing it now was no different as she cradled me bodily to her. "Down, pipsqueak, the Mate has spoken!"

Alice was glaring daggers at us with a powerful little pout, but I couldn't help the little grin I shot back, sticking my tongue out for good measure. Then I watched as her eyes went distant, glazing over briefly before clearing moments later, a look of panic on her face. "Window!" she whispered fervently.

Before I knew what was happening, they were out the window within seconds, my eyes barely able to track their progress. Shit, fast vampires! Not a moment after the window quietly lowered did a knock sound on my door. "Come in!" I called, reaching to my table and grabbing my phone.

Charlie opened the door and took a step into the room, looking around. "Were you talking to someone just now?"

I gave him my most confused look I could muster, lifting my phone up. "I just got off the phone with Alice and Rosalie, why?" Gods, I hated lying, but it was much better to give a little white lie than to admit to my dad that my vampire girlfriends were able to slip into my room on the second floor as if it were nothing.

His brow was furrowed for a moment before, with one last look around, he turned to head back out. "Well, I'm heading off to bed. There's soup on the stove if you're hungry. I know it's the weekend but try not to stay up too late."

"I won't, dad," I shot back, sighing deeply when he closed the door. No sooner had he left and I heard his footsteps moving down the hall did my window slowly lift once again. A blink of my eyes and suddenly my ladies were once again standing in front of me. "That is so hot," I whispered, my face heating moments later at their quiet laughter. "I swear, I have no filter when you two are around."

"That's a good thing, darling," Rosalie said, moving into my space until I had to look up at her. "I love hearing all the lovely little things that come across that wonderful mind of yours."

Seeing the statuesque goddess standing before me, I couldn't help but whimper as another wave of heat flashed through me. Shit, I could go from confused to aroused in the blink of an eye around these girls. "O-Oh? And do you want to know what's going through my thoughts at this very moment?"

I felt my bed dip as Alice crawled up to me until she was sitting up on her knees at my left side, her fingers dragging softly through the hair at the back of my neck. "Oh, don't worry, ma belle," she whispered huskily into my ear, "We can smell every single time your little body betrays your desire." She released another one of those whining moans that shot a spasm of clenching heat through me until I was rubbing my thighs together in an attempt to assuage the sudden need I felt.

"Gods," I whispered harshly, my breathing coming in small pants.

Rosalie's chuckle came from directly in front of me and I drew in a sharp gasp, finding myself face-to-face with the beautiful blonde, her cold breath ghosting across my eager mouth. "The gods may have brought us together, but they are not responsible for this." She leaned in the last little bit and captured my lips in a powerful kiss, her lips moving expertly across mine as I felt my body begin to shake. I couldn't think, couldn't do anything but feel, and when breathing became necessary, my gasp for air was swallowed just as quickly as my face was pulled to the side, Alice's lips meeting mine with just as much desire as her sister.

Gods, I was drowning in need and all they had done was kiss me! Alice was more delicate in her movements, where Rosalie had been more deliberate and forward. A moan left my lips and soon enough Alice's cool tongue was splitting the seam of my lips and gods her cold mouth was such a sensual balance to the heat burning within me. The feel of her soft little tongue dancing with mine was so smooth and enticing that as soon as she withdrew it between her lips, I was chasing it with my own. I was taken in by the softness juxtaposed against the firm feel of their solid bodies pressing in on me.

I had to eventually pull away for air again, my body thrumming with aching need that I wanted so badly for them to quench. I might have still been a virgin - I hadn't gone all the way with the girls or guys I'd dated in the past - but holy shit was I very much aware of where I wanted these two beauties to touch me. I wanted it to be with them, I wanted this with no one but them!

Both girls paused and I held myself still as I fought to catch my breath. Alice was half-laying on top of me, while Rosalie had lowered herself into my lap with her thighs braced on either side of my legs. I don't even remember laying down, these two had completely possessed me in that moment.

I let out a rather pathetic whimper as I felt both girls pull away slightly. "I'm sorry," Rosalie panted, her voice sounding smoky and sexy and dear gods what the sound was doing to me. "We didn't mean to get so carried away. You have to understand, the mate bond-" her voice cut off, and the lowest growl of a sound rumbled from her throat. "The mate bond is urging us to take you, to possess you, to solidify our bond and make you ours completely."

"Yes!" I whispered fervently, my voice rough with need, "I want that, please! I want to belong to you both entirely."

Alice's whine was nearly as pathetic as the sounds I was making. "We want nothing more than to do so, but not here." I swallowed down my protests, my eyes pleading as I stared up at their onyx-hued eyes. "Trust me, it hurts us just as much as it does you to deny us this. But we don't want our first time with you to be when your father is literally two doors down the hall."

Groaning quietly, I let my head fall back to the bed as that comment effectively cooled some of my desire. "Holy shit, I forget everything the moment you two start touching me. I do not want my dad to hear us, and knowing us like I think I do, I don't think any of us are going to be quiet."

Rosalie's signature rumbling chuckle was quiet as she moved herself to lay at my side in a less provocative position. "Not if I have anything to say about it. I want to hear you scream our names."

"Not helping, not helping, not helping," I growled, slamming my head back roughly against my mattress, cringing in pain as my headache made itself known again. Gods, my entire body felt molten, like just a single touch would be enough to send me over the edge, and that thought nearly had me saying 'fuck it all' and pouncing. A small, delicate hand on my chest pressing me down told me I wasn't quiet in that thought.

"We're sorry, darling," Rosalie whispered, nuzzling my cheek with her own in a soothing and apologetic gesture. "We will be together in all the ways mates are meant to be together, I promise. We just have to do this right."

"What do you mean, 'right'?" I asked, shooting her a confused look.

She smirked at me, leaning in to kiss my lips gently, distractingly. "We have to be so very careful with you, darling. If we forget ourselves for even a second, we could hurt you." She brushed her cool palm across the back of my head as if to punctuate her point. "Even the most controlled effort by one of our kind can easily break your human body."

Sighing, I ran my fingers down her cheek. "I don't blame you for that, I hope you know that. You saved my life...again." Seriously, I owed these two women far more than I could ever hope to repay and yet they still wanted to be with me.

"We love you," Alice whispered simply, like it was the most natural thing in the world, like my heart wasn't suddenly pounding in response. "You are the most important thing in our lives now, and we will do everything within our powers to keep you safe and happy. Even if it means taking extra precautions when our more...sensual natures get the better of us."

I couldn't help my smirk as I lifted my hand to caress her cheek. "In case you didn't notice, your sensual natures were making me very happy a few moments ago."

The girl's happy grin was enough to light up my darkened room. "Be that as it gay," she giggled at her play on words, "When we do get to have you alone, we need to have it be on certain terms. Namely, we need to make sure we feed beforehand so we don't accidentally hurt you. Also, we will need to make sure we're alone," at this she leaned up until she was hovering over me, her lips scant inches from my own, "We don't intend to allow anyone to hear those delicious little sounds you make. Those belong to us and us alone."

I was whimpering again, trying to lift my head so I could chase after those tempting, tantalizing lips being held just out of my reach. Fuck, how easy it was to forget everything when they were this close. "We're going to leave for now," Alice whispered, and suddenly her hand was over my eyes, "Close your eyes, and take deep breaths. We will see you tomorrow, okay?"

I nodded, closing my eyes and sighing deeply. "I love you both," I whispered fervently, yearning for them even as I felt them shifting away. "So very much."

"We love you, too," came Rosalie's just-as-quiet response, moments before the pressure of their bodies disappeared from mine entirely. With a whisper of sound, I suddenly knew they were gone, the quiet sliding of my window moments later confirming it.

I sighed again as I sat up, running my fingers through my hair. Looks like I was going to need a very, very cold shower. But even though I felt like I'd been left high and dry (Hah! As if any part of me is dry), I still loved every moment of our time shared together. I could still taste the cool softness of their lips, the sweet taste of their mouths as our tongues danced. It was growing more and more difficult to remember boundaries, especially when we didn't seem to actually have any.

Mates. That simple word meant so much to me now, yet it felt as if it had always been there. Just like my ladies, it just felt right. Like everything in my life had been leading me to that very moment when our eyes first met in the cafeteria. Everything after that was just a beginning of what I can only explain as more. More love, more laughter, more happiness, everything I felt was becoming more.

My mates were so perfect, and I couldn't wait to spend the rest of my life - maybe even the rest of eternity - with them.

Then, a thought occurred to me that sent me into a quiet giggle fit, shooting off a text to my ladies before I forgot:

'Hundred Year Old Virgin! OMGs I get it!'
