There's only one thing I haven't shared with the others: I haven't told them about the fact that I'm a virgin.
I think that's something they don't need to know and now that I'm sure that Aubrey won't choose one of the others and dump me, I’ve been thinking about taking that final step into deepening our relationship more and more.
I never broached the subject with her, I'm happy to let things develop naturally between us and I won't lie that I’m a little anxious about it.
What if I last two seconds and disappoint her like Devon did on their first time?
“Hey, come on in.”
When Aubrey opens the door and invites me in, I know it straight away: tonight's the night.
Don't ask me why but it's something in her eyes, in the fact that she’s wearing simple but really sexy clothes and that she asked me earlier if I was ok not to go out but to have dinner at her place and watch a movie.
“It's the last weekend I’ll have the house to myself for a while and time to really relax before thanksgiving and all the final exams before winter break. I just wanna enjoy each other's company. If you don't mind?”
I follow her to the living room and I can't help but notice how good her ass looks in a short green skirt that leaves her shapely legs naked.
She's not wearing shoes, her hair is down and she smells heavenly, like flowers and something else, clean and fresh.
I know Aubrey loves to cook but tonight, she indulged my weakness for pizza rolls, tater tots and cheese popcorn.
As soon as I sit down on her couch, she nestles on my lap and beams at me with a huge smile.
“I’m so happy that at least one of you guys shares my love for Disney movies! Devon likes super hero movies, Teague’s into car racing and sports movies and Knox likes thrillers and horror movies. So when they let me choose, I know that they're compromising.”
I chuckle, squeezing her a bit tighter and asking her which movie she wants to watch tonight.
The choice is between Mulan or the Emperor’s New Groove and it's a damn hard choice because they're among my favourites of all time.
We decide to go with the Emperor’s New Groove and the first part of our evening is spent eating and laughing at the hilarious story.
When the final credits roll onto the huge flat screen TV, I tighten my arm around Aubrey’s shoulders and kiss her temple inhaling her sweet scent.
“Thank you so much for thinking about staying in tonight. Between the end of football season and the upcoming finals, life’s been so hectic that I didn't even realise how much I needed to slow down and chill. Especially with the sweetest and prettiest girl in the world by my side.”
She gives me such a sweet smile that I don't feel cliché by saying that my heart almost stops.
I cup her jaw with one hand and whisper to her that I love her, impatient to feel her soft lips on mine.
And the kisses we’ve been exchanging tonight so far have been as sweet and easy going as the vibe between us, but this one's different.
This time I'm aware of her tits pressed against my chest and when I pry her lips open with my tongue to explore her mouth, I feel an onslaught of sensation running down my spine and making me instantly rock hard.
She's partially sitting on my lap and she must feel my excitement because she straddles me as a soft moan escapes her lips.
Every time anything more than kissing has happened between us, things progressed quite slowly, we got naked after a lot of kissing and cuddling, a lot of looking into each other's eyes, whispering sweet words to one another.
I opened up to her not only about my waiting for the right girl but also about how she makes me feel, how much I care about her.
So I knew that she liked me enough to eventually sleep with me and that she had the same feelings for me that she had for the others but I’ve never seen her act the way she is after I break this kiss.
We're both breathing hard and Aubrey lifts my t-shirt over my head, without saying anything.
Her dark blue eyes are fixed onto mine while she runs her lips down my neck and chest, her hands fumbling with the buckle of my belt to open my jeans.
I lift my hips to help her push them down and when I'm in my boxers, she slowly unbuttons her shirt and slides it down her shoulders and arms.
Her skirt follows shortly after and I drink in her soft skin and the sexy pink lace of her bra and panties.
Her lips cover mine in a scorching hot kiss and I don't know what feels more exciting: the way her teeth are tormenting my bottom lip or the feeling of her skin against mine.
So far I've been letting her take the lead, waiting her out and matching kiss for kiss, touch for touch.
But when she bites softly on my ear lobe, I lose control and cup her ass, squeezing her toned flesh in a gentle but firm grip.
This is when she grinds on me, rolling her hips against mine and making our crotches rub against one another.
“Oh, fuck!”
I moan when I feel my dick respond to the contact by hardening further and twitching as a jolt of pleasure shoots from my balls all the way up my spine.
Aubrey stops, breathing hard, her chest heaving against mine and as I feel how hard her nipples are through the thin lace of her bra, I can't even think.
My body wants her so badly that I tighten my grip on her hips to avoid doing something stupid and ruining everything.
Because the reality is that my body wants her but it doesn't exactly know what it wants.
Maybe I should've bullshitted my way through this and not told her that I hadn't had sex, like that, I could've just played it by ear and not feel this huge amount of anxiety, the fear that if I fuck up, she'll know that's because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.
She runs a gentle hand down my cheek, tracing my neck and collar bone and all the way down to my chest and I know that she has the right to know how special and important this is for me, even if it makes me totally uncool.
Aubrey’s hand stops at the edge of my boxer briefs, and when her eyes find mine, she hesitates.
This is when usually she’d go down on me or wrap her hand around my shaft and I would reciprocate or even take over if I was too impatient to taste her and feel her writhing under my kisses and touches.
When I don't say anything, she tells me how she feels: this is why I love her so much, she doesn't ask or demand.
She shares her feelings openly and this is how I knew that I could trust her from the very beginning.
“Landon, I want you. But I don't know if it's too soon or if your feelings aren't there yet. I know I am but I don't wanna—”
“I love you, Aubrey. I was only waiting because I couldn't bear it if you hadn't chosen me. And after I knew that you felt the same way I did, I just didn't wanna push you. I didn't wanna make you feel like we had to have sex immediately. But it's not because I'm not ready.”
Her lips touch mine softly and she tells me that she feels the same way.
“Then tonight's the night.”
She whispers it against my lips while her hands lower my underwear and I help her shed hers, basking in the view of her sexy body.
She's still straddling me and once we're both completely naked, she lifts her hips, aligning my tip with her opening and beginning to lower herself onto me.
She's warm and wet and once I'm only halfway inside her, it starts feeling so incredible that I'm terrified that this is gonna be over before we even begin.
“Aubrey, maybe I should touch you first or something. This—”
She slides down until I’m totally sheathed inside of her and she's sitting on my lap, her inner thighs touching my hips.
She rolls slightly forward to whisper in my ear.
“Are you all right?”
I swallow hard, trying to calm down: overwhelmed by the sleek, silky heat that surrounds me.
“Yeah ... no. I mean, fuck, you feel so good. I ... I know this isn't gonna last long and I would hate to let you down.”
&
nbsp; She kisses me deeply, her hips dead still and that helps me at least even out my breathing.
“You won't let me down, Landon. The way you kiss me and the feeling of your hands on me ... It won't take me that long either. It doesn't matter if this doesn't last long. We can do it again, so just feel me the same way I'm feeling you.”
She rocks her hips slowly at first and for as incredible as that feels, I almost think that I got this, but I’m a total fool because as soon as she lifts her hips to slam herself on me as deeply as she can, a strangled noise escapes my lips.
She does it again and again and I lose control of my body, I don't even realise that I'm meeting her movements by thrusting my hips upwards and when I know that I have seconds before I explode inside of her, I make the huge mistake of taking my gaze away from hers and looking down, where we're joined.
That's the end of me and I feel myself starting to twitch as the first wave of pleasure washes over me and I know that I’m seconds away from exploding.
But I don't have any time to tell her that I'm sorry that this is gonna be over soon, because I feel her tighten her muscles around me and when I shudder, feeling myself beginning to spill inside of her, I realise that her muscles are spasming uncontrollably around me and we're both holding onto each other, shaken by the most intense pleasure I’ve ever felt.
When it's over, she collapses into my arms, her head resting in the crook of my neck.
I give us a second to calm down, still joined when I lift her face up to mine to kiss her softly.
“That was ... fuck!”
I can't think about anything else and she giggles but she sounds as happy as I feel.
“That was so damn good, Landon.”
And I know she isn't just saying it to make me feel better when she kisses me and asks me if I wanna spend the night.
“Fuck, yeah!”
I answer lifting her into my arms and making my way up the stairs.
I don't know how I’ll ever keep my hands off of her but by how tight she holds me once I begin kissing every inch of her body, I know that she doesn't want me to.

Aubrey
I WAKE UP NEXT TO LANDON, his arms are wrapped tightly around me but it's not his kisses or his wandering hands that wake me, it's my phone with an incoming FaceTime call from Abi.
I slip out of Landon's embrace and he moans softly in his sleep, complaining that I’m moving.
“Hey babe, go shower, I'll make coffee while I speak to my sister and I'll shower downstairs.”
He turns onto his stomach, burying his face into the pillow with a sleepy grumble and I can't resist but smacking his toned, perfect ass with a giggle when he lifts his head and looks at me with outrage in his blue eyes.
“Hey! I was sleeping so well!”
I place a shallow kiss on his lips but jump out of his reach when he tries to grab me.
“Get ready, I'll see what Abi wants and then we need to hustle if we wanna get to school on time.”
I don't wait for his answer and I press the green button on Abi’s call.
Aubrey: Hey sis! What's up?
Abi: (giggles) It took you long enough to answer! Were you still asleep?
Aubrey: Yeah. Landon stayed the night and we were up later than intended.
She smiles knowingly but then she asks worried if I’m being safe.
Aubrey: Of course I’m being safe! Don't worry, sis!
She asks me how things are going with the guys and I tell her that despite my initial fears that they wouldn't be able to get along with one another, things have been perfect.
Aubrey: It's hard to explain but when they were competing and expecting that I choose, they were fighting constantly but since they decided to try and share my time everything has changed. They started spending more time together even without me and they're becoming friends. I'm not saying that they never fight but they solve things among them. Each of them is a great boyfriend individually but I never knew how awesome it would be to go on dates with all of them. It's like being a princess, there's always someone holding my hand, opening a door, saying something funny. There's always someone kissing me. I seriously hope this isn't just a honeymoon phase because I love them all so much that I don't think I could ever lose one of them.
Abi: All I can tell you is to be honest with your feelings and accept that in certain moments, you might feel closer to one of them and it's up to you to make sure that the other ones understand that you aren't playing favourites or choosing. You have to still treat each of them as if he were the only one but also take the others into account, and their way of being friends. How they act together. Like for example, Reece and Max have got these alpha personalities and I need to make sure that Pryce and Chaz are heard when we make a joint decision. But often enough, if Reece and Max fight, the best thing I can do is stay out of it. Pryce is the only one that can get Reece to ease off and Chaz knows how to approach Max when he's mad at Reece. Just don't ever pick a side if they're arguing.
I see Abi’s point.
Among my guys, Devon and Teague are definitely the ones with more fiery personalities, even though Teague hides his impetuous nature behind a sexy smile and his constant teasing.
Knox is quiet and brooding and he often doesn't disclose his emotions in front of the others but behind closed doors, when it's just me and him, he’s sensitive, perceptive, and generous.
Landon is like a big puppy on the outside: always smiling and eager to please.
But I’m discovering another side to him, he projects the image that he thinks others want to see because in reality he's worried to be judged if people found out that he isn't only a jock who’s into football and girls.
He's sweet, smart, and so tender, so I naturally feel protective of him because he's easily hurt by how people stop at the surface and judge him.
Abi: Anyway, sweetie, I called to give you a heads up that we finished our classes yesterday and we’ll be driving down today rather than tomorrow. The guys didn't wanna miss the Championship final, so we’ll be home tonight. I’ve told the boys about your dating situation and—
I roll my eyes and she confirms that while Chaz and Pryce didn't flinch, Max and Reece are determined to grill my boyfriends and make sure to scare the living hell out of them if they ever hurt me.
Abi: Reece says he especially wants to have a chat with Knox and Teague: they were known for sleeping around, so—
I groan and she laughs.
Abi: Don't worry, sweetie. I told him to be calm and rein it in.
Aubrey: It's Reece we're talking about. You know he has only one level of intensity.
My big sister smiles.
Abi: Yeah, I know. But remember that he loves you as fiercely as Alex does. Oh and did Alex call you? He told me that he's coming back for Thanksgiving with Ayla, Sam, and Tuna and they're flying in tonight because they don't wanna miss the game either. They're staying at Ayla’s but they wanna hang out as much as possible.
I’m equally anxious and excited about seeing my siblings: while I know that they won't judge me for the unusual relationship I have with my guys, because they found something similar and they understand me better than most, I’m still nervous about what they’ll think about my boys.
I know that they both want what's best for me but things are still so new between me and the boys that I hope we’ll pass their scrutiny.
And there's also a huge amount of tension because my mom reached out to Alex and he's accepted to see Daddy for the sake of the new baby.
None of us want our new sibling to grow up without a family or without knowing us, but whenever Daddy and Alex are in the same room sparks always fly and never in a good way.
The next couple of days are gonna be intense to say the least.
Devon
THE ATMOSPHERE AT PRACTICE is tense: there's no other way to put it.
I know that coach has a lot riding on tomorrow's game and the pressure is high because
despite BHPA being a private school, attended by the rich and famous who pay handsomely for a first class education, keeping our state champions title would definitely encourage the alumni’s donations.
The first period after practice is a free one for the A-Class and Aubrey promised us all breakfast, knowing how hungry we all get after practice.
We all meet at the library: we choose a table at the very back but we’re the only ones in here.
“There you go guys, I have breakfast burritos for everyone. Eat them while they're hot.”
“You're hot, I’d rather eat you!”
Landon drags Aubrey down to his lap, nibbling at her neck and making her squeal.
They've definitely slept together: it's obvious by the way they can't keep their hands off of each other.
I meet Aubrey's dark blue gaze and wink at her, it's funny how seeing her in the other guys’ arms and thinking about her doing with them the same stuff she does with me doesn't piss me off.
It should maybe, and at the beginning I was really worried about this thing with all of us dating her not working but it's hard to explain.
Of course I’m jealous and I welcome Aubrey with open arms when she leaves Landon's lap and comes to sit on mine, but rather than seeing the others as rivals, seeing how happy they make her, makes me happy.
And that makes me care for them in a way I didn't think possible.
Plus the guys are pretty cool: Teague is teaching me how to ride his bike, Knox and Landon got me into surfing and it's like having the brothers I’ve never had.
We started talking to one another about our feelings for Aubrey and it helps when one of us gets a little insecure, it helps to know that we all feel that way from time to time.
Of course opening up completely takes time, I'm not that naive to think that we’ve become brothers and best friends overnight.
For example, Teague and Knox suspect that Landon was a virgin.
