“What if you all don't pair up?"

Sam frowned.

“Well how would that work?”

“Well the king is pretty big. What if you grouped into triples? Then we could fit three girls plus me here, two on the full-size bed, then one on the air bed plus Holly's Murphy bed in the office. Nobody would have to stay on the couch. And with Holly skipping out, then each trio gets two nights with me."

Sam blinked, thought about that, and nodded.

“Works for me." Her eyes narrowed, and then she poked me in the chest.

“You just wanna top Tahoe and have three hot naked girls crawling over you every night."

I smirked and held up both hands defensively. "I honestly just wanted to keep someone from having to sleep downstairs on the couch. But now that you mention it..." I couldn't help but grin, my eyes dancing.

“But how do we decide which pairing has to split up?"

I thought about that for a moment. "ALL three of them do."

“Huh?”

I smiled and stepped out of the master bedroom. Once I got to the top of the stairs, I hollered, "Everybody in the Living room!!!" And then I headed downstairs myself.

The girls tittered amongst themselves curiously as they gathered; it was unusual for me to be the one giving the directions in the club. But soon enough all eight of us were assembled together.

“Everyone has scoped out the sleeping situation by now, and we only have three real beds plus the air bed," I explained.

Naimh piped up, “We were just trying to decide who has to sleep out in the living room."

I shook my head. "Belle and Mari, Sam and Zofi, Neevie and Alice: pair up and ro-sham-bo. Winners over here, losers over there." I gestured next to me for the winners and over by the couch for the losers.

I had this funny thought in my head that the girls would immediately do as ordered: obediently Line up and stick their fists out to play the game. Instead, nobody moved and they all Looked straight at Sam.

Nonchalant, our actual leader shrugged and muttered, “Do as the man says."

Still, the girls hesitated, but after Sam finally walked over in front of Zofi and held her right fist in her palm, the other two pairings likewise turned to face each other.

Less than a minute later, Zofi, Belle, and Alice stood beside me while

Sam, Mari, and Naimh stared at me from over by the couch.

"Well?" Belle asked expectantly.

I noticed an immediate flaw in my results. Zofi, Belle, and Alice were the three skinniest of the BTC and would fit alongside me on the king-size bed no problem. Sam, Mari, and Naimh on the other hand were the curviest, and the four of us could very well end up sleeping on top of each other, not that I necessarily minded such an outcome.

Especially if they were naked.

But anyways, I explained, "The three of you will share the king bed with me tonight and Wednesday night. Sam, Mari, and Neevie will share with me Tuesday and Thursday. Nobody has to sleep on the couch, and everybody gets two nights in the master bedroom instead of one night and a third of a chance to get a second."
