“No, no! I met her yesterday. She just moved here. I know the rules. I'm not risking anything. I just needed someone to talk to about everything. Ash is annoyed and keeps telling me to shut up, and Jonas likes her too. I was wondering. Is it possible that she's our Eve, and if not, could she be? I think she would be perfect.” He paces in front of my desk, putting me on edge.

I think about what my father said and sit back in my chair, kicking my legs up onto my desk. I have to keep cool about this and not give anything away. I still think I should be able to tell the guys that Eve has arrived, but whatever. An order from the Elders must be followed.

“I don't know, but I'll find out,” I say to appease him, and he stops and gives me a huge grin.

“I know I only just met her, but there's just something about her. I want her to be my one. My Eve.”

“Just remember—” I start and he cuts me off.

“All Adam’s must remain virgins until we’re gifted our Eve. I know, Levi. I won’t fuck it up. Thanks again!” He races off and I sigh, then check the time on my phone. Shit! I have twenty minutes until I need to start shaping young minds.

I drop my feet and stand, then head towards the hidden door in my bookshelf that leads straight to my classroom. It still fascinates me that this place has so many hidden rooms and entrances. One of these days, I’ll actually take some time to explore.

A few students trickle in, and I wait until most seats are filled before starting my lesson. Stepping in front of the class, I clasp my hands together in a praying hold and give them a smile.

“Praise the Lord for another glorious morning,” I say, fighting my eye roll. Ash snickers from the back of the room and I bite my lip to keep from smiling. It really is ridiculous being here, but an assignment from an Elder must be met.

“Good morning, Father,” the class replies, and this time I do smile.

“Let us start off with a prayer, then I have a slideshow prepared for you all to copy notes from,” I say, and one of the girls in the middle row raises her hand in offering to pray. I nod and she starts.

When she's finished, I make the sign of the cross, then turn on the computer so they can start working. Letting them learn this way has its good points and its bad. The good is that the kids don’t have to hear me babble about shit I don’t even really know. The bad is that it’s fucking boring just sitting here at my desk. I can’t even pull my phone out, since they are not allowed during lessons.

I pacein front of the room as the scratching of pen on paper irritates me. I really hate this job. This persona I have to keep playing. I’m the furthest thing from religious, and here I am impersonating a fucking priest, of all people. When Malcom called me and gave me my orders, I thought for sure he was joking, but nope. Here I am teaching a bunch of hormone riddled, pimple faced idiots the importance of abstinence. Such a joke.

My classroom door bangs open and my eye is drawn to the woman in the hall. Her face is flushed and her caramel hair is a mess. Her hazel eyes are wide and she has the plumpest lips I’ve ever seen. My dick instantly wakes up, and I fight not to reach into my pocket and stroke it.

All I can think about is her on her knees, looking up at me as she sucks me down.

Who is this little seductress? My eyes trail down her body and freeze upon seeing her uniform.

Fuck! She’s a student. Ugh, I really need to get laid.

“I’m so sorry, Father. I woke up early then took a nap and woke up late, and I wasn’t sure where my classes were.” She’s talking to me and I scowl at the way Milo’s eyes are glued to her breasts. I get it, she’s got a banging body with curves in all the right places, but have some respect.

I wave my hand at the empty seat in the front that everyone avoids, and she scurries over to it, plopping down with a yawn.

“Only been here thirty seconds and I'm already boring you, Miss,” I say, being an asshole, and she blushes so prettily. She avoids looking at me and plays with the bracelet on her wrist.

“Cross. I’m sorry. I didn't mean any disrespect, Father. I didn't sleep well. I never do these days,” she mutters, and I feel like a dick until I realize she said her name was Cross. Well, fuck!

“I’m not here for excuses. Open up your notebook and start copying what you can. I suggest you find someone later to let you borrow their notes,” I say, trying to keep my eyes on her face and not her legs, that are not crossed like they should be. She nods and begins.

I take some deep breaths, then wait until most of the students have placed their pens on their desks. “Well it seems everyone is about finished, so how about a recap?” I glance around the room and Milo seems to be off in another world. Perfect! I love fucking with the students, and yes, he is on the list to be initiated. But I’m not his mentor, and frankly, he’s a dick, who I know isn’t keeping his vows.

“Milo!” I boom, making him jump guiltily. “Can you tell me what verse in Peter’s letters teaches abstinence before marriage as the only clear way and why?”

“Uh, Peter, chapter three, talks about why God thinks we should—”

“Nope,” I cut him off, rolling my eyes. The new girl is staring at me wide-eyed, and it’s pissing me off. I want her to be looking at me like that whilst on her knees with my dick in her mouth. My ire causes me to purse my lips sourly as I watch her from the corner of my eye. “Miss Cross, I don’t have high hopes for your answer given your tardiness, but let’s give it a go, shall we?”

Breathing deeply, she draws herself up in her chair, and quotes, “‘1 Peter 2:11. Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul’. Was that the quote you were asking for?” she asks innocently.

Cheeky brat.My hand twitches, and I smile at her, though it’s more a baring of my teeth, judging by how pale she becomes. “Where in the Bible does it discuss why sex outside of marriage is considered immoral?”

Chastity fumbles her answer, and I refuse to let her finish. “Your grandmother will be very disturbed by how unprepared you are coming to my class,” I growl at her.
