“Everything inside you is heightened now. You have to fight the bad instincts. Alkrose rules are that anything you and your partner agree to do is permissible, but if there is no mutual consent, then that is where permission ends. For example: Terra, I want to kiss you. She’s going to say?—”
“Yes,” I blurt out—I don’t know what just came over me, but my heart hammers inside my chest at the embarrassment that follows. Kallos sucks a breath in and his Adam’s apple bobs as he stares down at me. There’s so much restraint behind his well-trained impassive expression.
His eyes drop to my lips as he says with a raspy voice, “If they agree, then it is permissible.” He clears his throat, looking away from my lips and back at the class. Sweat starts to bead down the side of his neck and I can’t help but grin wickedly at how diligently he’s controlling himself right now. “Now, let’s say you’re already tangled and embracing them closely, but you decide you don’t like where things are headed and your partner can’t stop. Here is a trick to instantly snap the Shadows’ connection and bring you to your senses.”
Oh my gods, I can’t.
Kallos pulls me against his chest. I genuinely don’t think he knew what he was signing up for. My Shadow pulls his in so viciously that he audibly loses his breath. I’m as consumed by him as he is by me and my knees falter. Kallos is in no better shape and he ends up leaning my limp body over his desk as his legs give in.
The classroom lights up with gasps and the only one laughing his ass off is Kai. I can only stare into Kallos’s golden eyes. His expression of shock quickly fades and his lips pull up into a handsome smile. He looks into my eyes with curiosity.
“No wonder Elias is so possessive of you. Your Shadow has quite the appetite,” he whispers in a deep, tempting voice. I bury my teeth into my bottom lip—his erection is pressed against my lower abdomen. “Elias might know how to please you, but I doubt those boys do. Tell me, are you satisfied?”
Raine and Finn? Is he really going there right now?
Kallos’s lips are close to mine. He has a lovely scent, musky, with a bitterness like metal.
I can only stare at him and imagine what filthy things he really wants to say. His attention snags back on the class, who are all wide-eyed and silently watching our professor as he pins me to the desk beneath his sculpted body.
Kallos clears his throat and returns to the lesson. “To snap the connection you need to have control over your Shadow. Firmly tell it to let go and it will.”
I wait for Kallos to cut the connection but he doesn’t. My brows raise and horror flashes through his gaze for a moment. My mouth pinches into a tight grin.
“Do you need me to do it?” I whisper, enjoying this entirely too much, even as his knee slowly nudges mine apart. If we weren’t in front of like fifty other people, I wonder where this would go.
He lets out a short, deep laugh and nods. He’s the complete opposite of Arthur. Bright, lively, and full of humor. I find myself drawn to them both in different ways.
I scold my Shadow for having wandering eyes and demand it release him.
Kallos winks at me as thanks and straightens his posture, helping me up and letting his fingers linger around my arm for a second too long before jerking his head for me to take my seat.
Raine and Finn have concerned expressions but I can only smile at Kai’s inability to keep his laughter contained. My brother has both palms covering his face and I can’t help but die a little inside.
“I thought he was going to fuck you on the desk,” Kai sputters and Finn shoots him a death glare.
I sink into my seat and groan. Great, I’m sure rumors will run rampant about this.
Kallos talks for a few more minutes before dismissing us with advice to “prepare” for the next class because it will be more in-depth. I’m not entirely sure what to do with that information, so I try as best I can not to think about the professor’s erect cock and how perfect it felt against me.
Finn stops me when class is dismissed and everyone else funnels out of the room. Kai lingers but gives us space to talk. Raine rolls his eyes but stands close to Kai. I want to do anything but stand here and talk to Finn, but honestly, after sex ed, I’m feeling surprisingly relaxed.
“Yes?” I ask halfheartedly as I collect my books and level him with a disinterested stare.
“Want to come train with us tonight? We’re going to meet in the courtyard after dinner and I’d really like it if you joined us.” His smile is nervous but he asks sincerely.
It wouldn’t be the worst thing to try to mend our friendship, would it? A night training with him… it sounds nice.
“Yeah, I’d like that,” I say in a friendly tone. His amber eyes soften on me and I’m relieved that this feels so natural.
“See you tonight then.” He grins and nods at Kai; the two of them walk to the front of the room to speak with Kallos.
I’m tempted to eavesdrop but decide against it. I’m eager to get to the library and search for anything that I can find on blights. Hope is something I think we could all use a bit of right now.

Terra
I’m surprised to find Raine on the third floor of the library.
