Jess didn't say a word.
I pulled out of Lindsay, careful to hold on to the condom so it didn't leak anything. Jess handed me a tissue which I put the condom into and she threw them away.
I didn't know the protocol here, but I didn't want to be rude and take off out of bed. Lindsey held me to her.
Jess quietly took off her own clothes, pulled the sheet and comforter onto all of as she climbed into the makeshift double bed next to me. I was in bed, naked between the pair of them.
Without changing my embrace of the post coital Lindsay, I turned just my head to Jess where I was met by a very strong, very forceful kiss.
"You're still mine, babe, don't you forget it for even a second," she whispered to me after we finished kissing.
"It was a sweet thing you did for her, for me, but..."
"... but you didn't expect it to happen the way it did or to feel the way it did. I understand."
Lindsay stirred and smiled at the pair of us.
"Don't worry, Jess. I have no plans to steal your man from you. What a gift you have given me. Both of you. I'll treasure this forever."
Relief washed over me. I was honestly concerned that the shift in what went down was going to mess things up for all of us, but especially between Jess and I.
