Chapter 28
Shane
Tiana and I have both been recovering from injuries from The Beast this week. But she was healed enough to participate in sparring and while my skin still feels sunburned, the pain of the blisters from the fire feature on level five, is gone.
I miss my girl. So yeah, I’m hoping to tease her into near oblivion tonight and then spend the night easing that ache.
Apparently, the couple who teaches the sex class teaches both male and female nights of the class. So, while Tiana got Luna Samantha as her instructor, I get Alpha Jackson.
When we arrive, Luna Samantha is already on the table in the front of the class, lying face down. The first thing I notice is that Alpha Jackson’s hand is on her back. He’s not rubbing her or even talking to her. I wonder if she’s nervous to be in front of this class and he’s grounding her. It didn’ t sound like it last night, but last night she had her clothes on. Tonight, she’s naked in front of a class full of Alpha males.
When our partners walk out, Alpha Jackson steps away from his mate, whispering in her ear before he steps off the dais to come assign partners for this class. It’s not automatic that you’ll get the same partner for both classes. So, while T and I are partners both nights, I notice that Nicholas and Helen are not partners tonight.
When Tiana walks over, her eyes are tracking all over the room. I realize that she is also nervous about being naked in a room full of Alpha males. I had planned to look my fill of her before she got on the table, expecting her to be full of the confidence I’m used to seeing in her. But since she seems almost uncomfortable, I switch gears.
“Why don’t you lie down. Luna Sam is already on the table face down. I’m guessing tonight will be similar to what happened last night, T.”
She nods, looking around as the others make their way to their tables.
“Here,” I say, walking around the table and blocking the view of the others nearby. She smiles then quickly strips out of her robe and climbs on the table. I take her robe and lay it over her before putting my hand on her back, just like I saw Alpha Jackson doing with his mate.
I can feel Tiana’s breathing which is much faster than it normally is. I lean over and put my face near her ear.

“Breath, T. You’re safe with me,” I tell her.
She opens her eyes and looks at me. “I’m being silly, aren’t I?” she asks.

“Not at all. I think Luna Sam is also a bit uncomfortable. Just because we’re used to being naked in general, it doesn’t mean that you’ll be comfortable in this type of environment.
