MEREDITH

T he bath is soothing, and I must admit that I'm more relaxed than I was before. I normally take my baths hotter, but I'm questioning everything with this pregnancy, from the food I eat to the temperature of the showers I take.

I don't want to make the wrong choices, including the potential to completely overheat myself and the baby I'm carrying. Luckily, Dart doesn't overdo it with the heat, and I can ease into the comforts of what they're all trying to do for me.

They take their time rubbing down different parts of my body, lathering their hands with sweet-smelling soaps and going over every single inch of my body. It's obvious that my insecurities are in my own head. None of them seem to be noticing I look bloated or have a pooch belly. They clearly have their focus on my naked body as a whole and making me feel good.

As the water cools, they help me out of the bath and Dart takes a towel from the rack to help me dry off. Grizzly holds a bathrobe for me to wrap myself in and Trap returns from the bedroom with a fluffy pair of slippers.

"Why are you all so good to me?" I ask.

Grizzly wraps the robe around me and ties off the front with the belt from the bathrobe. "Because you deserve it."

I don't know how many times I'll have to hear things like that before I believe it, but I know this won't be the last. Or at least I hope so. I don't feel very deserving of their affection when I'm keeping a secret like this from them. I try to brush the guilt off. If I say anything right now, especially when they're being so sweet and attentive, it will derail the whole night. They'll want explanations, to talk for hours, and…and I'm just scared.

"Thanks for the bath. I needed that," I say. "But I'd be lying if I said I didn't need to prioritize my studying. I really will be jeopardizing my scholarship if I don't take this seriously."

Trap smirks. I don't think he believes me when I say things like that. I can see how someone might think I'm naturally book smart by earning a scholarship, but I've always had to work hard to stay ahead. But this time, he's right to be suspicious of my motives.

"I'm sure you'll be fine," Trap says. "You've gotten this far."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, but not quite." I let out a sigh. The tiredness from this pregnancy is taking its toll on me. "I have hours in front of me. Some of the questions stump me every time."

"These questions?" Dart is leafing through my class paperwork, turning the pages over to get a feel for the study materials.

"Ugh," I grumble. "Those would be the ones."

Grizzly waves his hand to Dart, gesturing for him to hand the questions over so he can look for himself. "Are these really the questions? What is all of this for? Science? Medical?"

I laugh because I've had the same thoughts about what this class is trying to achieve, but it's a requirement that I take it. I'm being quizzed on offbeat medical conditions as part of my Science in Contemporary Medicine class. I think the professor is just trying to keep us on our toes.

"I have an idea," Grizzly says. "Something that will allow you to know your materials better and lets the three of us stay as long as we want."

"I'm listening," I say.

I climb onto the bed, intrigued by Grizzly's incoming proposition.

"I'm going to quiz you. We'll each take a question, and we'll go around doing this for as many rounds as we need. If you get the right answer, you get rewarded with something of our choosing."

I can't help but smile at the thought. The idea of using positive reinforcement for me to get a better grade is scientific enough for me to play along, and certainly worth the experiment. If it works, I could lean into this whole idea and come out ahead after all.

"Okay," I say. I don't bother putting up a fight. I lie down on my side and rest my head on my hand, batting my eyes. "Give me my first question, Professor."

Grizzly's gaze lingers on my body sprawled out on the bed, my hair long and wavy, the only thing between me and him a robe that could easily slip off. He looks down at the notes.

"What is the scientific term for brain freeze, also known as cold neuralgia?"

"Oh my God," I say. My brain goes blank at first. I'm scanning my memory for as many scientific terms as I can think of. I think it starts with an S. It's long. I think of brain freeze as having to do with ice cream. I think of food in general and the word palate comes to mind. For some reason I remember the term having palate in it. Or something like that. Palatine?

Once I remember the last part, the whole word clicks in, and I shout, "Sphenopalatine Ganglioneuralgia!"

"Very good, young student," Grizzly says.

"Damn, that's a mouthful," Trap says. "Sounds like you're performing a magic trick."

"So, what do I get for getting it right?" I tease.

I loosen the belt of my bathrobe and open it up just enough for me to run my fingers up and down my smooth thighs. I've made sure that every single part of my body is smooth.

Grizzly hands the papers to Trap and walks over to the side of the bed. He mounts the bed, maneuvering my legs so that I'm lying on my back facing him. He pulls on my robe and I'm so relieved he doesn't stare too long at my stomach. He's too enraptured by my breasts and the fact that my legs are spread-eagle for him.

"Trap, you're up," Grizzly says. "I think it's only fair for Meredith that I give a mouthful for a mouthful."

He moves down to my inner thighs and kisses all along the inside of each leg. He's making me excited for the feel of his tongue, which he flicks at the nub of my clit to really get me wet.

"What was the first vaccine to be developed against contagious disease?" Trap asks.

It's hard to concentrate on any new questions with Grizzly working his tongue along my eager pussy, but I try my best to multi-task alongside my pleasure. Once again, I think through everything I can possibly think of as the answer flies into my memory, and I answer.

"The smallpox vaccine," I say. I'm breathless. "You could have picked a sexier question."

I lift my head and watch as Trap hands the papers to Dart and rips his shirt off over his head. God, I love that man's body. He has no idea how sexy he is.

"You want a sexier question?" he asks.

He undoes the belt of his pants, unzips his jeans, and lets them fall to the floor. He moves his boxers down and his erection stands at attention right above my face. I want to taste it.

I push my body back toward the edge of the bed, Grizzy moving with me as I adjust.

Trap makes sure my head is hanging over the edge of the bed and places the head of his cock at my lips. "Can you tell me what my cock tastes like when it's buried in the back of your throat?"

His question makes me blush, but I also don't have time to answer before my open mouth is filled with his raging erection. He has far more control in this position, and he seems to be going a lot deeper than if I were on my knees or sitting beside him in the bed.

Finally, it's Dart's turn, and I'm so caught up in the moment that I'm not sure how I'll get the words out to answer him, even if my mouth wasn't completely occupied.

"Okay, let's see…what is desquamation the scientific word for?"

"You just let me know when you need your throat back, baby," Trap says as he continues to thrust himself into my mouth, so needy to take every bit of me he can reach.

I know this one. Or at least I think I do. I need to stop doubting myself. I'm convinced that's probably the reason I can't seem to get these questions right after I've reviewed them repeatedly. The sexual acts seem to be loosening me up and I can recall everything better.

I tap Trap's thigh and he pulls himself out of me long enough for me to take a breath and state my answer. "It's peeling skin."

"Good girl," Dart says, and I can't see him undress while I'm hanging over the bed, but it only takes a few moments for me to feel him. He's suddenly on the bed between Grizzly and Trap, sucking on my excited nipples and rubbing his fingers up and down my rib cage.

I'm overwhelmed in the best way. I don't know how many rounds of this game we're going to play, but I hope we can do this all night long. I'll never be more ready for a test than I am now.
