Belle nodded. "Oh they have. They've all told me about some of their fantasies. It's just part of... Well... Let's just say the BTC has a unique social dynamic."

I grinned. "I'LL say."

"So we're good? No awkward feelings?”

I nodded.

“We're good." With that, I opened my arms.

Holding back tears of relief, Belle ran and launched herself into my hug.

In the morning, the BTC girls didn't waste any time coming to get the first-hand scoop about what really happened between me and Holly Last night.

It started with Alice. She was waiting for me and Belle at the parking lot and came over to us as soon as we stepped onto the curb. Literally, the first words out of her mouth were, “Is it true that you turned down

Holly because you were saving yourself for the BTC?"

I blinked twice and looked around to make sure nobody else was nearby.

Other people were walking in from the parking Lot, so I quickly grabbed

Alice by the elbow and pulled her toward a quiet corner where I could at least have my back to a wall and see if anyone was eavesdropping, and Belle followed.

“Where the hell would you get that idea?" I hissed.

“Neevie told me," Alice whispered, understanding the need for secrecy.

“She got it from Zofi, who got it from Sam, who talked to Holly like five minutes after she left your house.”

Belle stepped in closer. "That's why you turned Holly down? You told her you were saving yourself for us?"

Belle read the stricken expression on my face and already knew the truth. Alice did, too. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I muttered, "I asked her to not tell anyone.”

“Wow," Belle breathed.

“Okay I guess that makes sense..."

“Wait, which of the girls are you saving yourself for?" Alice interjected, looking confused.

“Which of the girls are you in love with? It's not me, is it?"

She looked genuinely worried and I smirked at her.

“Would it really be so bad if I was in love with you?"

“Yes!" she exclaimed a little too loudly and immediately caught herself. Taking a deep breath, she explained in a calmer voice, “It would ruin our friendship. I like messing with you and feel safe teasing you. I'm not an overtly physical ‘pay attention to me and make me feel beautiful’ girl Like Sam, but it's nice to know that even with all the hot girls around, I can still give you a boner."

I thought to the last time Alice climbed into my Lap wearing a bikini, rubbing her butt into my crotch and sticking her big boobs under my chin. "Yes, you certainly can."
