“You are a blessing, Chastity. A true gift from God. I'm so honored that you want me to be in your family, and I can't wait until I can show you just how much you mean to me.”
I sigh and nod. I know what he's trying to say. I find it odd that they all have to stay pure, but I respect their wishes and beliefs. I would never pressure them. I open my eyes.
“I’ve missed you, Jonas. Thank you for coming to walk with me.”
He laughs and lets my cheek go.
“We better get you to Father Levi's office before he comes looking.”
I take his hand once more and let him lead me. When he knocks on the office door, I'm surprised to see this isn't some excuse for sexy time before class. Levi's father, David, is sitting there with two cups of coffee.
“There's my new daughter,” he greets me, standing up and walking over to me. “You're glowing. Marriage suits you, Chastity,” he says, and I give him a big smile.
Men usually make me nervous, but there is just something about David that puts me at ease.
“Good morning, Baby,” Levi says next, taking me away from his dad to give me a quick kiss.
“Morning,” I mumble, then take the coffee David holds out for me.
“Thank you. So what's going on? Don't we have class in twenty minutes?” I'm confused as to why David is here.
“Right down to business. I like her, Son,” David says with a smile before taking his seat once more.
“Dad is here to talk to you about The Society. I mentioned to you before that he wanted to have a meeting with you.”
Levi leads me over to his seat behind the desk, gives me one more quick kiss, then leaves.
“Wait, he's not staying?” I ask and David laughs, throwing his head back.
“No, he has to go torment poor souls and mold their minds. It's just you and me, sweetheart,” he says and I smile, shaking my head.
“That was almost a perfect description of my husband,” I reply with a small giggle. David looks around the office, then focuses back on me.
“So, we have a lot to discuss. But first, how about you ask me what you want to know?”
My eyes widen, because I didn’t expect him to ask me that.
“No one’s asked me before,” I murmur. “Why now?”
David looks apologetic as he says, “I wanted to have this conversation with you, so I asked my son to wait to talk to you. Levi’s been wanting to do this, but there are things not even he knows.”
Nodding as I sip my coffee, I think. “What exactly does an Eve do? It almost seems like she’s a sex doll for the Adams,” I tell him, blushing as I realize what I said.
Snorting, he shrugs. “Seriously, whatever comes to mind, say it. I’m enjoying it. You always think too hard before you say something. The traditional answer to your question is yes. The Adams have one, intensely hedonistic night to welcome them into The Society and manhood. It’s enjoyable for everyone,” he explains. I bite my lip, wondering what it would be like to be with all the guys like that. “However, it’s a little different for you, because of your position.”
“What do you mean? Because I’m married to your son?” I ask, confused.
“No, because this is your legacy. Your real father is an Elder, and I can’t tell you who he is because he asked to come to you when he’s ready. But… because you’re a legacy, your position means you’re more than a sex doll, as you said. The Eves go on their way, after signing an NDA, and never speak about what happened that night. It’s a system that’s worked forever, until now. It’s been decided to retire the position of Eve, after you fulfill your role.”
“Really? But… why? What makes me so special, other than who I’m related to?” I scoff.
“You’re special because you’re you,” David chuckles. “You have seen the worst that humanity has to offer and survived, and we need someone to assist us. There are a lot of traumatized people who come through looking for help, or that we find in our outreach programs. Levi is more than a fake priest here. He runs all of the safe houses on the East Coast. Levi is also capable of infiltrating different organizations by pretending to be someone he’s not.”
“Like… a priest,” I whisper. “So he was planted here so that he could help Jonas, Ash, and Bast finish their trials and become initiated? But he hasn’t always been their mentor, has he?”
“No,” David says. “He worked with them, but he didn’t officially become their mentor until they were placed here. Instead, he was infiltrating organizations that don’t align with our beliefs. Sex traffickers, people who sell guns to gangs for their wars, cults, etc. The safe houses are how we’re able to hide people while we provide them with a new life. Do you know about the underground fights?”
I nod. “The guys are trained by Levi to fight there,” I confirm. “Those are illegal, so you’re not totally on the right side of the law, correct?”
