Christina
“How’s it going with you and Alpha Sebastian?” Mia asks me as we clear away the dinner dishes. Sylvie put Emma on clean up duty with her to make sure it gets done, but we all still help to clear the table.
“Good. I think. It’s… well, it’s different.”
“The whole clinical aspect of it is hard. We’re expected to be vulnerable but still open ourselves up to physical touch. Some people don’t have a problem with it. For some, sex is just that, sex. Having an orgasm with someone isn’t any different than having dinner with someone. But that’s not how you are, is it?” she asks.
“No, which is why it’s hard.” I look around making sure no one is paying attention to our conversation. “And I’m getting so friggin‘ aroused! And, of course, his most heightened sense had to be scent,” I whisper yell.
“Christina, if you weren’t getting aroused, I’d be worried. And not about you. Alpha Sebastian has been an Alpha for a long time. If you’re not getting aroused by the touch that is supposed to be arousing, then he’s doing something wrong. Have you talked to him about it?”
“No. I’ve been so embarrassed by it. Do all their hands feel that good? I’ve never had a massage but holy mother Moon Goddess! It’s like

magic!”
“Why do you think Sylvie and I always take the class. Although she is usually James‘ partner and he’s usually teaching the class. But still, free massages and orgasms for a semester? Hell, fucking, yeah!”
We grab the last of the plates and drop them off as Sylvic not–so–kindly instructs Emma on what and how she needs to be cleaning.
When we step back out, Mia pulls me aside again. “So, is he taking it slow, or did the two of you just jump right in? Every Alpha is
different, so I’m
“He’s taking it slow. He rubbed my feet that first night,” I begin, and she moans. Then she leans her head around the door to the kitchen.
“Sylvie, Christina got her feet rubbed.”
“Big deal! Jame has rubbed mine three times since I got on the Train.”
“Rub it in, bitch!” Mia growls good–naturedly.
“I’m the bitch you love,” Sylvie calls in a sing–song voice.
Mia turns back to me smiling at their back and forth. These two could have been sisters the way they interact together.
“So, you think it’s okay if he smells my arousal?” I ask her.
“I’m going to guess that he’d be very upset if he DIDN’T smell your arousal. But talk to him Christina. I know it seems counter–intuitive since you’re not in a relationship, but communication is what’s going to allow you to be the assistant that he needs for that class.”
“Thanks, Mia,” I say, hugging her before heading to my room.
I shower and use my free time to access the Academy’s educational system and look at the classes that I’ll be taking this semester. Before I know it, it’s nearly nine o’clock. I’m wearing casual clothing with not undergarments underneath. Since my clothes will be coming all the way off, it seems silly to bother with bra and panties.
I knock as usual, and Sebastian opens the door as if he was just waiting for my knock. His eyes track to my clothing, and I swear it’s like he can see through them to my bare body underneath. His eyes darken and he looks away as he steps back, gesturing for me to step inside.
“Did you have a nice evening?” he asks me, going to pour me a drink without asking.
“I did. I spent some time looking up the syllabi for the classes,” I say, taking the drink when he offers it to me.
“Was there anything in there you didn’t already know?” he asks, then gestures for me to sit on the couch.
“No, not about the classes thamaalia L
points for the class. Am I right that there are only 170 points available to be earned?” I ask. I already know that Dane had 147 points. If there are only 170 in total…
“Yes and no. There are 170 points for those who excel in the class setting. But don’t forget, and assistants and instructors also give points. They’re not worth as much, but they add up quickly if you do it right.”
“So, I shouldn’t worry about not being able to get any points from the sex class?” I ask.
“Forty of those 170 points are available in the sex class. James and I talked about this earlier. Only ten of those points are given away to one person. The others are given to each candidate as they achieve the goal. If you decide that you want to participate in the sex class as a student as well as my assistant, I’m willing to be your partner. That would only be fair. Of course, I’m sure any of the younger Alphas would also be willing to be your partner if wanted to ask one of them.”
“I’m guessing the other Alphas don’t feel as nervous about that as I do,” I murmur, taking a heavy sip as I think about what it would mean to have Sebastian as my sex class partner. The idea of making this powerful Alpha lose control because of the way that I was touching him, makes heat flare inside my body much more than it should.

“Can you honesty tell me that they could be more arrogant than he is?” he asks me, raising an eyebrow.
