How does this keep happening? Every time I e to a fun with a parthere's *somehow* another one. All of my partners were awesome, but sometimes I o take a break from feeding. I was definitely chubby by now.

  Finally finishing up, I stepped back from the new girl. My partner, Jess, had been going over the gover form with Ena while I fed. These new forms were ostensibly to help trans people keep their records plete, but I'd noticed a marked upti unmarked vans since I met Jess.

  Truthfully, I couldn't pin it all on her. Just because she kept finding new girls for me to transition nearly every time we went out doesn't make the feds her fault. They were definitely using them to monitor vampires, and it looked like I was going to be on a list soon if I wasn't already.

  Ena finally finished her paperwork and turned bae with a huge smile while c her shoulder back up. "Thanks for the help," she said as she tackled me into a hug. Okay, yeah, this is worth being followed everywhere I go.

  "By the way, you live in a dorm, right? How's that going to work? This uni isn't oo switch up room assigs, right?" This had been my biggest with feeding from her, that she'd lose her housing.

  Then, I made a fatal mistake - I looked at Jess. Those jade eyes melted me in an instant. I sighed, "If you want, you stay with us. We've got a spare room."

  The eted gasp I heard from Ena sighe start of a very long afternooing her moved in. "Call Jane and have her bring the truck over?" I pleaded with Jess. Her reply of a smirk aing out her phone made me think she somehow phis.

  "Are you here yet?" she asked with an immediate honk from outside in response. She set me up. Damn. How Jess mao find all these girls was beyohe time involved must have been staggering.

  We walked out and hopped iruck, Ena in the front and Jess and I in the back. She put her arm around me and I leaned my head on her shoulder as she started brushing my hair lightly. "Thanks for today, Crissa," she whispered. "I'll draw a bath for you whe home."

  And there was the reason I didn't feel bad about her setting me up to feed so often, the attention she would give me with her bath massages. At one point, I accused her of having magic due to how good she was at that. She had yet to let me live that debacle down. The way she smirked whenever she thought about it was distinct from her usual. A smirk that said "I know you uand what I'm doing, and you're powerless to resist because you don't want to." It infuriated me how much she was right about it, too.

  O Ena's dorm, we all hopped out and started moving everything she wa into the truck bed. Jane brought Ena over to the RA while Jess and I were moving the st of Ena's things to expiuation a her sorted with the uy. Everything and everyone safely iruck, we made off for home. Ena was super excited to finally get to be herself, which was uandable. I was simply exhausted from carrying everything. Jess made me carry Ena's puter and that case was heavy. If I felt fident putting oogether, I might have pulled everything out, but every time I looker at a puter's insides, it seemed so alien and I couldn't my head around how it all worked.

  We got home and hopped out. Eliza, our resident fighter, was first to approach as she had been outside going through her routine, followed shortly by Erica who had been tending the garden in our backyard. I had to stop myself from drooling over them every time I saw them sweating, they just looked so delicious.

  Erid Eliza gave Ena a hug and weling her in befrabbing things out of the truck. My eyes tracked the two of them and the way their back muscles moved as they worked, rootio the spot.

  Amy was , having seen us pull up from her per the library window, her favorite writing spot. The gleam in her eye betrayed the fact that she'd been w on her non-fi. Sometimes I wondered if the reason I was being surveilled because of her writing, which seemed possible. Power never quite liked anyone examining it.

  Amy nearly tackled Ena in a hug, weling her in. After her ritual new-girl-greeting, Amy pulled bad asked, "So what's your erest?" Ena looked around, a bit nervous, but Jess and I just returned her look with a smile.

  Ena nodded and replied, "puters and programming. I'd also like to keep a couple of server for a few different things, but I never had the money since I ending it on HRT." Amy's eyes turned dangerous at that, and I knew she was scheming something that'd only draw more attention.

  "That's perfect!" she excimed. "I've been wanting to find someone who set up a website for the trans activism I want to do! e o's go!" Amy grabbed Ena by the hand and dragged her into the house, Ena looking like a deer caught in headlights.

  "And that leaves us. Ready to head inside?" Jess asked. Truthfully, I'd have gone in sooner if it wasn't for the repeated trips of Erid Eliza, but I was also sweaty and tired and that was catg up with me. At my nod, Jess ed her arm around my shoulder and led me inside. We passed by Kelly baking a cake to celebrate a new girl joining us.

  As we got to our room, I went to the hamper to take off all my clothes while Jess rah. I was already getting goosebumps imagining how good her hands were going to feel. I joined her ihroom, shaking with anticipation, to find that she had also undressed. Damn, her workouts with Eliza have been doing wonders for her figure. The thought that I had been made to carry the case just so she had an excuse to massage me was beginning to nag at me. Okay, but who cares? We both enjoy this, so why not? Why shouldn't I be given a treat?

  Jess turned off the bath and I slid by her, giving her a kiss as I stepped into the tub. The water felt oh sht as I slowly sunk down, sav the feeling of my muscles rexing one by one, until only my face was above the water. Jess started massaging my feet uhe water, knowing how much I loved to savor this feeling of being almost pletely submerged. We stayed that way for who knows how long, though Jess o run some hot water again as the bath was starting to cool. I finally had rexed enough that I was willing to take a proper bath and emerged from the water.

  Jess smiled down at me, "Finally, I was about to get worried, you know? You don't usually take so long. Something on your mind?" She reached for the shampoo and starting thering me up while she waited. Fuck, how is she so good at that? I tried to think on what she had said, and was having trouble until she went baore shampoo.

  "Not really, though maybe a little," I replied. "It's just... I don't think I've fed this much *ever*. In the past few years, I've been feeding so much that I'm being fat, and I don't know how to deal with it. My clothes from before we met aren't fitting quite right and I feel like a part of me is being lost because of it." I could feel my eyes start to tear up as I talked, letting out frustrations that I'd been bottling up for a while now.

  I thought Jess would berate me for it, as my aor had, but when I looked up I saw her f, knowing smile. "It's okay. I'm sorry for having you feed so often, but when you told me how you sometimes felt like you were starving before we met, I felt like it was a travesty that su amazing woman had ever been starving. If you wao stop, I will, just say the word. But I think this was something you needed, Crissa. You've been more and more lively by the day and have grown with the love you've given us."

  I needed a moment to think from that revetion. She did all this... for me? I started thinking back to her iions with everyone in the 'cule, and while they were there, she was always fog on aering me in her iions. And I... hadn't dohe same for her. Sure, I'd been spending time with her, but as I thought ba our retionship, it started to feel more and more one-sided and I started mentally berating myself for not realizing it sooner. "No, you don't get to do that," she whispered in my ear while she rinsed my hair. "You don't get to bme yourself for something that I did. I khat you would spend time fog on others and made sure it would happen. I just wao see you grow. Just accept it, and if you do want to be with me more often, then you start now."

  I started g, releasing all the worries and self-doubts that I had at her words and hands. She grabbed the wash cloth and thered it with soap and started ing me of everything I felt wrong about myself. "There we go," she cooed. "That's my girl. Let it all out." Every touch from her leaked out more and more of my insecurities until the only thing that remained was what Jess saw in me from the very beginning.

  She finished giving me a bath and I got out and pulled her in for a kiss while she put away the washcloth. "Let's get dried off and dressed and go wele Ena properly, hmm?" I smiled. Jess replied with a kiss and we left to go join the wele party. She truly is the best thing that's ever happeo me.
