( I OWN NOTHING)

Tobias POV

When Tobias woke up the next morning he had never felt more complete. He just knew that she was the one thing that completed their circle. He kept his eyes closed and visions of the previous night came into his minds eye. He thought back to the feeling that had overwhelmed him as he took her virginity and he felt honored that he had been the one to take it.

That was something that no one on the planet had and the thought made him grin from ear to ear. As he lay there between the two people he needed most in this life he felt sated and content but slowly he remembered the concern he had felt from the previous night when he found out she had not told them.

Tobias felt a small movement on the bed. He opened his eyes and slowly lifted his head. He saw Tris' eyes trained on him and as he went to turn his head to check on Eric he let out a soft snore. Tobias slowly rose and motioned for Tris to follow him out to the balcony. He lit them each a smoke and then invited Tris to have a seat but instead of getting into one of the chairs she climbed on his lap.

Tobias smiled broadly at the contact but then remembered why they were and he cleared his throat. "Tris, how come you didn't tell us you were a virgin?" She took a drag and closed her eyes. "This is going to sound really stupid..." she started to say but was quickly interrupted by Tobias. "Nothing is stupid if it means something to you." he said. Tris took a second to mull over what he said and began.

"Number one, I didn't want you or Eric to look down on me or to not think I was prepared enough to be in a relationship with you guys..." Tobias opened his mouth to say something else but she held up her hand. "If you are going to keep interrupting me this conversation will be over. Now Secondly I didn't want you two to have to decide who took it, I didn't really care either way so in my mind whoever got there first got it. Problem averted." She looked into Tobias eyes.

"I want to thank you for being so gentle with me. I am pretty sure that it was the best first time any woman could have." At this she gave Tobias a hug and kissed his cheek and he was inwardly beaming. They were interrupted by the sound of the door opening and Eric clearing his throat behind them.

Tris turned her head suddenly and dropped from his lap and ran and jumped into Eric's arms and then she kissed him and headed back inside. "What was that about?" Eric asked Tobias while going over and giving him a morning kiss. "Beats me." Tobias said while rising to go back in. When they entered the suite Tris was no where to be seen but at seemingly the same time they heard the shower running. They grinned at each other mischieviously and practically ran to the bathroom. Undressing along the way.

Tris POV

After kissing Eric good morning Tris quickly realized how sore she actually was. Her inner thighs and core were practically pulsating and it was mildly irritating but it reminded her what she had lost and how much she had liked it. Tris grabbed some underwear and jeans and a long sleeved black shirt and made her way to the shower hoping that the warmth would soothe her soreness.

She wasn't planning on taking very long but once the hot water hit her she realized how much tension had been plaguing her since the trip began. As she thought about it she couldn't believe that she had only been gone for two days and already so much had happened. As this thought hit her she heard as the bathroom door opened and two very sexy men entered the shower.

As he got in Eric made a grab for her but she pulled away. "I'm sorry." she said quickly. "I'm just really, really sore from last night. My legs, thighs and shoulders are very, very sore." She said and Eric's face fell. "Please, I do want you to touch me. I'm just in pain and I would like to actually enjoy your touch when it really does happen. Plus I actually do want to leave this room at some point, I paid a fortune to be here." she laughed trying to lighten the situation.

They both looked at her with smiles on their faces and leaned down at the same time and kissed both of her cheeks. Tris finished washing herself and walked back to the room and got dressed for the day and as soon as she was finished she knocked on the shower door. "If you two want to make it to breakfast before they finish serving you should hurry because you still have to go to your room and get dressed." Immediately the shower shut off and the men emerged. She handed them each a towel and headed back to the living area of the room.

Eric POV

After going to their room and getting ready for the day Tobias and Eric went back to Tris' room and knocked at the door. "It's about time." she said laughing and throwing her bag over her shoulder. Eric marveled at the woman standing before them. She was everything they had ever wanted. Everything that they never thought they would find. And it boggled his mind that she was in front of their faces the entire time.

He had seen her picture countless times and often wondered what kind of person she was but never in his wildest dreams did he thing that he would be intimately involved with her. When they finally reached the dining room Tobias sat down but Eric pulled Tris' chair our for her and then seated himself in his chair from the previous evening. They all ordered and while waiting for their food to arrive they discussed their plans for the day.

"So, what are you two going to do today?" Tris said after taking a sip of her coffee. Eric looked at Tobias who said that he was going to go to the casino and play blackjack. He then looked to Tris and asked her the same question. A look of pure excitement crossed her face as she proceeded to tell them about the art class that she was going to take. Eric was so enthralled with the way her eyes lit up and her smile brightened the whole room that he was not fully paying attention.

Eric was brought out of his thoughts when Tris touched her hand to his face. "Are you okay?" she asked. She looked at him questioningly and he nodded his head and swallowed hard. The look in her eyes told him that she wanted to say more but she left it alone and said. "So, what are you doing today?" He smiled at her not allowing it to touch his eyes and told her that he was going to explore the ship and find the on board gym. After breakfast was served they all ate quietly obviously enjoying everything that was set before them. Eric looked at the two people that meant more to him than anything else and smiled.

? POV

He had followed her from Chicago. It had been interesting trying to keep up with her so far and he certainly thought he was up to the job. When he had found out she was going on this cruise he basically had to starve to make the payments for the room which was a terrible cabin below decks, but he was here and he was going to get her.

She was everything he had ever wanted and Tris would not escape his grasp this time. Of course she didn't know it was him leaving things places and planting cameras in her home. She was his and if anyone else touched her he would without a doubt kill them. Five years he had watched her ever since her first interview with Max. At that moment he knew that she was his and no one could deter him.

He had tried to get her attention on a few occasions always to be deterred by her damn assistant Molly Jensen. She was always trying to start something talking about how they were both assistants and it was fate. He always turned her down but figured out how to use her to get information on Tris. Now, the plan that he had come up with is complicated and he had practiced but you can't really account for what a living person is going to do. He hoped with everything inside him that everything would go off without a hitch and that finally Tris Prior would be his.
