the air. The danger that surrounds your skin. Itâs electric and vibrant. Iâm in awe at how you move the pulse beneath my skin. Iâm in awe because Iâm scared. The smell of you surrounds me and intoxicates my senses. Itâs euphoric and itâs wrong. Itâs wrong that I wish to take your wrist and offer you my neck. The sweet smell of your skin makes me hunger for your taste. Bittersweet chocolate that clashes with sin. Iâm confused. Above all I loathe you and adore him.â Gen quickly sat down in her seat and kept her head down. She wanted the ground to swallow her whole. Professor Aylet walked around to the front of her desk and smiled. âI am so very proud of all of you. Genesis and Nimziri, I must say I am quite pleased that you two obviously have someone in mind. Genesis the two males that are in your sights are lucky.â The professor said in a quiet tone. How could she have guessed her plight was between two males? âClass you should all learn from their example. Their sensuality is real as it is based on a person or persons. Itâs a tangible thing for them. Whereas most of you focused on the idea, or body in its form. Verbal sensuality is not only about words, but feeling. The slightest glimpse or the almost possibilities of those chance encounters evokes something in the spirit. Some of you should know this as quite a few of you are already matched. Next week we will focus on the tone of that sensuality.â Professor Aylet, looked over the vid for a moment and then pulled up a dual image on the screen. One was of Nim and the other was of Genesis. âLook at their body language. Their words rang true. They were sensitive to these emotions. The idea of speaking about their person or persons, became sensual in its form. Nimziriâs posture changed.â She pointed to a spot on the scream where it seemed his hand was grabbing the side of his pant leg in a death grip. But as he began to read, the vid showed him releasing his pants and visibly relaxing. âHe went from his normal harsh stance, to relaxed and calm as he spoke about his true feelings. Notice the flush on Genesisâ neck. See how it blossoms from underneath her bodice? Her skin was heated and her face flushed, as she remembered how it made her feel.â The professor pointed out the changes in her skin tone. Once she was sure everyone knew what she was talking about she quietly dismissed the class. Gen rose quickly. She couldnât exit fast enough. She wanted to go to her quarters, conference in her father, and find a way out of all this craziness. âGen could I please have a word with you?â Nim asked. His eyes were searching her face for something. What? She had no clue. She nodded and followed him out of class. She really didnât want to revisit her embarrassment. But if she didnât respond to him now heâd only bug her later and in a more open forum.
