Griffyn puts his arm around me and starts playing with my hair. It’s relaxing so I let him do it while the teacher talks about deadlines.

Felix sees what he’s doing and starts drawing patterns on my exposed leg under the desk attached to the seat.

Being sandwiched between my two mates with their hands on me is the best place. Any tension I had melts away until my eyes are drooping closed.

I shake both of them off and try to refocus on the professor.

“What’s wrong?” Felix whispers, trying to put his hand back on my leg.

“You two are putting me to sleep!”

At least as supernaturals, we can talk low enough for the professor to not hear because knowing my luck he would hear us and call me out.

Griffyn chuckles and Felix gives me puppy eyes.

“It’s not our fault you feel safe with us,” Felix says.

“I need to pay attention.”

When class ends and everyone starts packing up Griffyn asks teasingly, “Were you always like this in school? So focused.”

“Yes,” I admit. “I’m pretty sure it annoyed Aly’s mates too. You guys would all get along better than you think.”

“You could never annoy us,” Felix corrects.

I elbow him in the side. “That can’t be true because you all can annoy me.”

Griffyn clutches his chest. “I’m wounded.”

“Don’t be dramatic,” I say,

“He’s always dramatic.” Felix punches him in the arm.

“It’s part of my charm.”

“Sure it is,” Felix teases.

Griffyn slows down and looks into a classroom as we pass the door.

“What is it?” I ask.

Griffyn’s smile is mischievous. “One of my powers as an incubus is to see past spikes of pheromones and lust. If I know the person, I can even identify them.”

“Really? Doesn’t that always distract you?” I ask.

“Usually there are layers on layers of it and you can’t identify one round. I’m able to ignore it most of the time but it catches my attention when it’s somewhere unexpected. Like a classroom.”

“So, someone has had sex here? That’s hilarious. Should we top them?” Felix asks.

“The best part is, it was Aly and some of her mates!” Griffyn is practically bouncing as he reveals this.

“My best friend Aly had sex on campus? No way. Are you making this power up?” I ask.

“He’s not making it up. We’ve used that skill in a case before,” Felix says.

Griffyn laughs. “You can’t believe that? Their house is covered in pheromones.”

I blush. “Well, I did live with them so trust me I know that. I’m just shocked they would do it here in a classroom! So, are you just dealing with this all the time? Even in our house?”
