I wanted him to take my virginity, but it feels like he’s somehow stolen my heart in the process. I don’t know that I want some other man touching me. I don’t know that I want some other man being inside me. I’ve had Christian, number one on the leaderboard, my Mr. Numero Uno. I’m confident that no one else will ever compare to him. And while I would love nothing more than to learn how to make Christian come as hard as he makes me come, I don’t want to practice on some other man. I want to learn with Christian. I want to learn what he likes, what he wants, not what some other man wants and then hope that I can translate that into what Christian wants.
Those are the thoughts swirling around in my head about two weeks before it’s time for me to leave. As usual, I go to Christian’s room, knocking on the door and walking in without waiting for him to answer. I no longer wear a bathrobe to his room. I wear my nightgowns and let him strip it off of me.
Tonight, unlike with the other nights, Christian isn’t in his boxers. He’s still completely dressed.
I stop, closing the door behind me.
“Christian, what’s going on?” I ask.
“Enya, you’re leaving for the Academy in a couple of weeks. I think it’s time that you and I put some distance between us. I’ve taken your virginity as you asked and we’ve become very comfortable with each other over the past several weeks, but you’re about to leave for six months. You’re going to be meeting new people, new Alphas, making new friends and taking … classes. I think it would be easier if we ended things now, giving you time to focus on preparing to go to the Academy.”
“What are you saying, Christian?”
“I’m saying we have to stop sleeping together.”
“You’re breaking up with me?” I ask.
“Enya,” he says, taking a step toward me and pulling me against him. “This is the problem. We’ve blurred lines that we never should have blurred. This, us, it can’t happen. You’re not eighteen. What if your mate is in this pack, Enya? What if your mate is someone from the Academy? You don’t need any entanglements that will cause you to question your alliance to your mate. I care about you, so much. I would love it if you were my mate. But we won’t know if that’s the case until after you return from the Academy. If you’re going to be in the sex class, or classes, then you

need to walk into those classes without having my scent lingering on you. You need to go in with a clear head and focus so you can do the best you can possibly do.”
I frown, looking at his chest. I’d be lying if I said his words didn’t hurt.
“Does it not bother you that I’m signed up for the sex class?” I ask, my voice small.
He huff’s out a breath, pulling away from me to begin pacing in his room. He runs his fingers through his hair and I watch that wayward curl fall right back over this forehead. I fucking love
my life. that curl. I’ve played with it countless times over the past several weeks, the best weeks of But now, I don’t feel like I can even reach out to touch him, much less try to tame his sexy, wayward curl.
