I pursed my lips and rolled my eyes. Rubbing my face, I muttered,

“Well, she was new."

Sam Looked at the ground. "I'm sorry. I know this isn't about me."

“It's alright. It just goes back to my own confusion about that time period and trying to separate my true emotions from physical infatuation. Back then, I had no thoughts about falling in love with any of you. I was just getting teased left, right, and center but not really getting anywhere.”

Sam winced. "Sorry about that. It couldn't have been easy for you."

I shook my head. "Don't be. We've already had this conversation. I loved it, it brought me closer to all six of you, and it taught all six of you that you could really, really trust me and feel safe with me."

Sam nodded. "It did."

“But it also made me very sex-focused. I was constantly getting horny and never having any outlet for it. I thought about sex all the time, and guess which one of you made it the most obvious she wanted to fuck my brains out?"

“Neevie."

“Exactly. She gave me hope. You didn't, not really. I actually figured you'd eventually get tired of using me for practice and go seduce the

Prom King."

Sam frowned. "Did I really make you feel used?"

“Well, yeah, but that's water under the bridge. In the end, you were the first one to cross the line and actually have sex with me, which started off this whole thing and ended up with me getting to be with all of you. I'm never forgetting that. For a boy who could only dream of this sort of thing happening for the past couple of years, it's been an incredible few months."

Sam grinned.

“Every teenaged boy's dream.”

“For sure."

“Until it turned into a nightmare."

I sighed.

“I dunno about a nightmare. Getting caught by her parents was sort of an inevitability. In the back of my head, I always knew we'd eventually get caught."

“But I'll bet you weren't expecting to hear her scream her ex-boyfriend's name."

"No, I wasn't, but looking back, even that makes a sort of Logical sense. In fact, the nature of her separation from Conor kind of explains everything, from her joining the BTC to spending all that time flirting with me and even our lack of real intimacy."

Sam furrowed her eyebrows. "I'm not following."

“Well this is all pure speculation, of course, but let's imagine a heartbroken Neevie dragged out of Ireland against her will and parked in a completely new country while still missing her one true love.

She's this ridonkulously gorgeous freckled redhead with an amazing body and big tits and starts getting constantly hit on by every swinging dick at school. You take her in, introduce her to a bunch of similarly hot and busty friends, plus one guy who DIDN'T immediately drool all over her tits or otherwise start undressing her with his eyes."

Sam snorted. "Don't give yourself that much credit. I was there when I first brought her over and you DID start undressing her with your eyes."
