Tessa was nervous, had been all evening. Laughing more than normal, keeping herself busy, adjusting the cutlery on the table throughout the dinner she’d made for them all. After tidying the dishes away and making tea for them all, she told them to go and settle in the front room while she went to sort something out.

Retreating into her bedroom, closed the door behind her quietly, leaning against it as she released the breath she felt like she’d been holding all evening. Turning, she looked at the antique dress she’d bought which was hanging up on her wardrobe. Steeling herself, she got herself changed out of her casual clothes and fully decked out in the ornate dress she’d bought. It wasn’t exactly as the dresses would have been back then. It was less fiddly and modified so a person could still get in and out of it by themselves without the need for a servant.

Once she was ready, she pinned up her hair to expose the long lines of her neck and put on some make-up. Giving the front of the dress a quick brush down, she looked at herself in the mirror, going over what Izzy had told her in her head. Taking a breath, she headed to the door and slowly made her way out to the front room. She stood in front of them, the coffee table between them as she shyly looked up at them from under her lashes. “Happy Valentine’s Day,” she gave a little, shy smile at them, hands clasped in front of herself.

Will had noticed Tessa’s nervousness all day and he knew Jem had as well but since she insisted she was fine neither of them wanted to push her. Obviously something was on her mind and he was sure when she was ready she’d tell them both.

When she said she had something to take care of the boys sat in the living room, “You have any idea what she’s up to? She’s obviously been distracted all day” he said as he looked over at Jem.

When Tessa entered the room Will looked stunned before recovering enough to smile brightly at her, “Tessa, you look incredible” he told her warmly.

Jem had also noticed Tessa’s nervousness throughout the day and he wondered if perhaps she’d had more dreams and she knew something he didn’t. A lot had been happening in the dreams after all. After Cecily arrived at the Institute, Gabriel had shown up not too long after to tell them something had happened at the Lightwood Manor. Upon arriving they had found out that Benedict had actually turned into a giant slug as a result of his Demon pox. Gabriel had ended up killing his father and both Lightwood brothers remained at the Institute. Amid all of that, Jem had begun taking more Yin Fen and not telling anyone so of course, Jem wouldn’t have been surprised if Tessa’s nervousness had anything to do with anything that came after that fact.

However, when Tessa stepped back into the livingroom, it all suddenly became clear. “I...you look lovely, Tessa.” There really was no other way to say it. He had seen Tessa in similar fashion in the dreams, but seeing her standing there in front of them dressed like that was breathtaking.

Tessa smiled and ducked her chin at their compliments, her hands still wringing in front of her. “Thank you,” she looked up at them from under her eyelashes coquettishly. “I uh...this isn’t my only gift for you,” she told them. Slowly, she raised her hands up her body, following the line of buttons on the dress while she watched them. Finally reaching the fastener of the collar at her throat, she undid the hook and eye hidden behind the flower. Running the back of the fingers of one hand up her throat and then the pads back down her cheek, she let her little finger catch slightly on her lower lip as Izzy had showed her. Directing her gaze down and catching her bottom lip between her teeth, she trailed her fingers back to her collar and parted the two sides before slowly moving back to the top of the dress’ buttons.

Will didn’t have to wonder what Tessa meant for long as she started a slow striptease for them, or at least that was what he assumed it was as she began undoing her clothes. He hoped it was and he adjusted his position on the sofa to watch her properly smiling all the time. If this was their surprise then he had suddenly become the biggest fan of surprises ever.

Jem had been about to ask what else she had for them when she began to undo the collar of her dress as well as the buttons. This was the last thing he would have expected from Tessa and felt his pulse rise slightly. He glanced over at Will to see him watching Tessa with open fascination. Turning his attention back to Tessa, his cheeks flushed slightly as his gaze followed the movement of her hands. Despite having been with Will and Tessa for the same amount of time, he and Tessa still hadn’t been quite as intimate as he and Will had been and a small part of him wasn’t sure he should be watching this, but this was what Tessa wanted and he had to remind himself that he was allowed to watch this.

Taking her time, Tessa smiled softly at their reactions and continued on her slow path down the long line of buttons. Occasionally glancing up at them, she added a little sway to her hips, just as Izzy had taught her, imagining her own music to her movements. The move was made slightly harder by the corset and layers she was wearing beneath the dress, but she persevered, hoping she looked attractive to them.

With the top of dress undone, she held the two sides together and looked up at them from under her lashes. Seeing both of their eyes on her, she teased them with pretending to open the dress for them and turning at the last second so she had her back to them. With a coy look over her shoulder, Tessa slowly peeled away the fabric from her body, first from one shoulder, then the other, slowly shimmying the fabric down her back. Not an easy task while still in a corset, but she hoped her pale, bared shoulders and neck would make the image an attractive one.

She looked incredibly attractive and knowing their girlfriend as he did Will knew it had taken a lot of courage for her to do this and loved her all the more for it. She was doing very well, teasing and giving in just a little. He had to wonder where she had learnt it all from, because he liked it a lot. Keeping his eyes on Tessa he let a hand drop to Jem’s thigh, rubbing just a little before letting it sit high on his leg. Keeping them connected as they watched together.

As Will’s hand moved to Jem’s thigh, he glanced over at the other Shadowhunter and placed his own hand over his then turned his attention back to Tessa. He had never thought that she would have the guts to do something like this and he could only imagine where she had gotten this idea as well as the dress.

Slowly working the material of her sleeves off her arms, Tessa released it and dropped it, revealing her to still be in her corset. Casting a quick look over her shoulder, she noticed Will’s hand on Jem’s thigh and Jem’s hand on his and gave a quick little smile. “I must say, you two are being very restrained tonight, I was hoping my...little show would inspire you to leap out of your seat and ravish me,” she teased, looking forward as she waited for their reaction. If anything, Will would be the first to take her hint as he was much more at ease with this side of their relationship. She raised her arms in the sexy way Izzy had shown her and gave a little dance with her back to them, her hips shimmying as she did. Running her hands over her hair and neck, she brought them to her back, playing with the laces to tease some more.

Well there was no possible way Will was going to turn down an invitation like that, he wasn’t sure if she had wanted them to interrupt her show or not but now she had made it very clear. Grinning he squeezed Jem’s leg before standing to wrap his arms around Tessa, his chest against her back and hands splayed over her corset. “If it’s a ravishing you want...” he whispered in her ear before kissing her neck. He and Jem would be happy to oblige of course.

As Will got to his feet and moved towards Tessa, Jem simply sat there and watched them together. There were still times, such as this one, where Jem couldn’t quite believe that he was with the two people standing in front of him. Before Will and Tessa, Jem had never dated. He’d been too shy to approach anyone that he found attractive and now he wasn’t dating just one person, but two. These two people loved him unconditionally and he loved them.

After a moment or two, Jem got to his feet and walked towards Will and Tessa, moving around to approach her from the front, “I’m fairly certain Will is better at ravishing than I am.”

Tessa regarded him quietly as she leaned back into Will’s touch. Smiling up at him, she covered one of Will’s hands on her corset and reached out to cup Jem’s face with the other. Gently pulling him closer, she murmured, “That just means you need more practice.” She pulled him to her and kissed, slipping her hand back to thread into his hair while she entwined her fingers with Will’s and squeezed to encourage him.

“Practice does make perfect” Will told them both, continuing to kiss Tessa’s neck as he squeezed her hand in return before moving both his hands to the ties at the back of her corset. Thank the angel for youtube and Will’s incessant curiosity which meant he knew exactly what he was doing as he began to undo it.

It always fascinated Jem, how different Tessa acted when she was around Will, but he supposed the same could be said about him as well. There was something about Will that caused others around him to feel more confident and while he was still nervous about the situation, when Tessa kissed him, Jem felt more comfortable and immediately kissed her back. Some situations between the three of them might have still been somewhat new, but when the three of them were together there was no reason for any of them to feel anything but comfortable.

“I think you may have used that line on me once before, William.” He said as he broke the kiss, silver eyes flicking towards Will as one hand moved to wrap around Tessa’s side and the other behind her to Will’s.

Tessa felt Will gentle hands begin to undo her corset and Jem’s hands move to join them. The feeling made her throw her head back against Will’s shoulder as she gasped. She tried to keep repeating the mantra in her head that she was in control and she wouldn’t change in front of them, or into them. Her one attempt at being intimate with Will had been completely ruined by her inability to control this power growing inside her. She’d been learning meditation and concentration techniques to try and help her in the intervening months and she only hoped that she could make this night good for them both. Pulling Jem closer and leaning some of her weight on Will, she let out a happy, breathy sigh against them. The two loves of her life who she was planning on giving herself to tonight.

“It’s true” Will said with an amused smile at Jem as he continued working at Tessa’s corset, it didn’t take long for his dextrous fingers to undo it enough to slide it down Tessa’s body. Once she had stepped out of it and he’d moved it safely out of the way he returned and taking Jem’s hand he lay it over one of Tessa’s breasts while his own hand covered the other. “You are beautiful Tessa” he told her with a whisper in her ear before he kissed just under it.

Jem was too busy kissing Tessa to realize that Will had gotten her corset untied until he felt Will take his hand a lay it over one of Tessa’s breasts. Jem’s heart raced and he did his best to keep it from getting too out of control. Overexertion brought about attacks from his illness and considering he’d been feeling worse and taking more Yin Fen lately, it probably wouldn’t take much to bring on an attack, but he didn’t want to ruin this moment with that. Later on he’d just take a little more Yin Fen.

Having had Will show him once before what to do, he began massaging Tessa’s breast slowly, getting the feel for it as he continued kissing her. He was a little more confident than the first time, but was still worried he’d do something wrong.

Tessa’s breath hitched as she felt their hands on her and she let out a long groan. She reached behind her and pulled Will’s lips to hers, feeling desperate to be kissing one of them. She let herself get swept away in the moment before.

Releasing Will’s lips from the long, desperate kiss, Tessa opened her eyes to look at him and in doing so remembered where they were. Swallowing thickly, her voice breathy and needy, she suggested that they move to the bedroom before she needed to be carried there.

Returning the kiss Will smiled into it, very proud of his girlfriend for having planned this entire thing. “I think that is a very good idea, let’s all enter our den of debauchery” he grinned with a wink at them both, “We’re going to have a very very good night” he promised, moving to wrap an arm around both their waists as he led the way into the bedroom.
