This man was pretty, but in a very masculine way, kinda like Eladehl. On the upside, he was a second-year, so I knew he wasn't a virgin. It might even be possible that he had some idea of what he was doing in bed - which I wouldn't mind letting him show me. Not at all.
"So," Calvor said, "this is awkward."
"That's the whole point, isn't it?" I asked.
He chuckled. "Probably. I assume the two of you managed to complete the first task in a timely manner."
"Losing our virginity, you mean?" I turned in my chair to see him better, all too aware of the people walking past us in an attempt to find a partner of their own. "Yeah, we couldn't wait for the start of class. I'm guessing you had a similar course requirement in your first year?"
He nodded. "In Sensuality. Both classes are offered at the same time, so you only get stuck with this lesson once. As a first-year, I at least knew the other virgins, so finding a partner wasn't hard. We'd spent years together as acolytes. As a second-year, however, we have a whole new crop of possibilities and get to experience the joy of putting ourselves out there."
"And yet you moved in so fast." I lifted a brow, making it clear I knew he wasn't exactly the shy type.
Calvor smiled slyly. "I've been watching you. We're in a few classes together, but you never notice anyone except your partner and guardian."
I had no intention of making this easy on him. "Oh, I notice. I just don't usually care for more than a few moments."
"Mm, and here I was hoping to work my way in between you and that lovely man you caught." Calvor's eyes slipped down my body. "Should I assume he's the only lover you've had?"
"You could, but you'd be wrong. It's been a month since classes started. Well, more if you count the two-week break after Choosing. That's like six weeks to play around." I ran my eyes over him. "Does this mean we're going to start comparing numbers to see if our sexual experience is comparable? Or would you rather just skip ahead to the parts that are off limits?"
"I don't have many limits, Nariana," he said, dropping his voice and leaning closer. "Except being tied up. I'd rather do the tying."
"No anal," I told him. "Because I don't trust you enough to get it right and I have no intention of lying in bed waiting for my ass to heal."
"Fair." But he was smiling. "Then pegging's out. Unless your partner can promise you know how to wield a strap on."
"We'll take that off the table," I assured him. "Because I don't. Cutting's out."
"Agreed." Then he laughed. "Let's add bruising to that too. Hair pulling is a requirement, though."
"Oh, I can pull your hair," I promised.
And he moved just a bit closer. "I actually meant yours. Watching your partner bury his fingers in those dark locks every chance he can get? I do believe I have a new fetish."
"Oh, so you want to get rough, huh?" I teased. "Tell me, Calvor, just how rough do you like it?"
"Intense, not cruel." His eyes dropped to my lips. "Tell me, Nariana, if I'm good enough, does that mean I'll get a chance to see you again?"
"Anything is possible," I assured him, "but I have very high standards." And I let my eyes drop to his crotch, where his bulge was no longer sleeping. "Although I think you're already impressing me."
He reached down to adjust himself, making the impressive girth even more obvious. "So, does that mean you'll be my partner for this assignment, or do you need time to think about this... er,it?"
So far as possibilities went, I saw no reason to turn this man down. I knew that I'd end up in a session with plenty of lovers who weren't nearly as beautiful. This guy, however, would fit in perfectly with my other three guys, and the truth was that I honestly felt excited at the possibility. He had exactly the look I liked, and he wasn't trying to hide his interest. I couldn't think of a single reason to turn him down.
"I think we should make an appointment for a room," I told him.
He shifted onto his knee and cupped the side of my face. "Just one more thing I need before I'm sure." And then he kissed me.
There was something exciting about being kissed by someone new. That moment of panic laced with the rush of being wanted hit me the moment his lips brushed mine. His tongue followed, and I didn't try to fight it. Calvor kissed me hard, trying to make his point, and I relaxed into him, accepting it. His tongue taunted my mouth, thrusting deeply as if it was a taste of what would come, and then he pulled back. He stole one more caress from my lips before lifting his lids to meet my eyes.
"I knew that if I waited, someone else would seduce you first, and I've been hoping for a chance. I'll sign us up as a pair." Then he stood, stepping back over the chair to get his things.
I didn't watch him go. Instead, I looked around the room for Eladehl, wondering if he was having as much luck. My eyes jumped across the women, wondering which my partner had picked, but he was with none of them. Finally, I found him leaning against the wall with an impressively-muscled man standing before him, one arm thrust over Eladehl's shoulder to hold him up. But Eladehl wasn't the kind of man to swoon. If anything, I got the feeling he was taunting the man.
And the guy seemed to like it. Clearly, neither of us were going to have trouble finding someone willing to share our beds.
