I'm too young to join, but the more experience the better for when I am able to fully participate." "T don't know if I'm going to be able to watch that." He looks like he might be sick. He barely knows me, why would he be this emotional about it? "Now, son, don't go giving anything away. No advantages to our young friend here. We can't be showing any favoritism." Alpha Reggie winks atand I smile, but start to feel an unease set in.

My legs are too short to lock around his waist, so he locks his hands together under my but forto sit on. 1 wrap my arms around his neck and rest my chin on his shoulder.
"Are you jealous?" I tilt my face to his to see his reaction.
