Altar of Twilight I am bouncing off these walls

"Hmm," said Alya, her expression falling into scientist-mode as she absorbed the strange sensations that went along with the action Ben was performing. It felt... very nice. Not at all like how it did when Lyra or Hydra did it. They'd begun to think that it wasn't sexy at all, but she'd have to let them know that they'd just been doing something wrong.

"How are you doing that?" Alya demanded. Then, after a beat, "Let me try."

She scooted closer and craned her neck to touch her nose to Ben's ear, breathing soft breaths against it for a moment before laving her tongue against the silky fur. It didn't feel sexy to be on the giving end rather than the receiving. Alya made a mental note of that, and planned do dissect the encounter later on with her sisters.
