When her yoga teacher Astrid invites her to an “Ascension” session focused on embracing repressed sexual energy, Kima must balance irritation, attraction-adjacent tension, and the fear of what closeness to the Clarkes could trigger. The novella frames intimacy as both refuge and risk.","CLOSE CONTACT  \nA CLARKE BROTHERS NOVELLA  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCHRISTINA C JONES  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCONTENTS  \nSynopsis  \n1.

Your energy is all out of whack.”  \nFrom anybody else, those words, on a day like today, would’ve had me ready to fight. Because it was Astrid though,  \nand she would know, since I’d just spent thirty completely graceless minutes in her yoga studio…the most aggression I could pull forth was a grimace.  \n“What’s your malfunction today?” she asked, pulling me aside so we weren’t blocking the door. I’d been trying to get the hell out of there, but she’d caught me before I even finished rolling up my mat.  \n“Oh, just the usual rich bastard trying to run me out of business so I’m trying to pretend it’s not happening,” I answered, to which she rolled her eyes.  \n“Kima, now we both know that’s not—”  \n“Duh,” I interrupted, shaking my head.“No, the Clarkes aren’t actually trying to run me out of my business, but let me do what I need to cope, okay?”  \nAstrid smirked, giving her attention to a student coming in for the next class for a moment before she looked back to me, pure mischief in her eyes.“I’ve told you what you need to cope.”  \nI let out a huff.“Yeah. Bedside Boyfriend hasn’t done it for me in awhile.”  \nThat shouldn’t be as surprising to me as it was every time I whipped my vibrator out in search of the kind of stress-relief only a good orgasm could bring about. And yet, here I was, still hella annoyed about it all, and struggling with the fact that I was too stressed out to cum.  \nWhich…of all the fucked-up things to happen over the last year, may truly be the worst thing of all.  \nSure, there was the natural, physiological reaction – nothing was messing with that.  \nBut the hormone release that was supposed to come with it, all those feel-good endorphins I needed now, more than ever?  \nConspicuously absent.  \nAnd the only reasoning I could even remotely wrap my head around, was that I was too stressed out for them to have any effect.  \nIn the worst fucking way, I was…blocked.  \n“I’ve got a cure for that toooo,” Astrid sang, gesturing behind her at the classroom.“If you’re not doing anything, stay for this class. On the house,”she added, knowing the fact that I hadn’t signed up would be my next objection.“Consider it my gift to you.”  \nO-kay.  \nSomething about that phrasing had me a little concerned – what the hell kinda class was this?  \nBefore I could step out to check the board again, the lights went low, and Dwele started playing through the speakers. A moment later, from the front of the classroom, Astrid spoke.  \n“Good afternoon everyone,” she said, her tone a little deeper than usual, more…sensual?“Welcome to today’s Ascension yoga session.
