Even though I lean back, I can feel his minty breath on my face.'Clementine, I want to warn you.' His voice is husky and deep. 'IâÇÖm going to kiss you, and youâÇÖre going to like it. A lot. But I want to be clear that IâÇÖm not going to sleep with you because I want you to respect me in the morning.' His mouth lifts up in a wry smile. 'This is simply one friend helping out another. Okay?'Wait. Is he serious?He must sense my apprehension because he rubs his thumb softly across my cheek. 'ItâÇÖs just an exercise, to get you into your story. I promise.'I laugh, embarrassed, intrigued, and a whole lot turned on by the idea. He smiles again, but this time itâÇÖs different. His eyes darken as his hands glide over my hips. My breath catches in my chest.'Gavin, I donâÇÖt think-'He rests a finger over my lips. 'IâÇÖm doing this in the name of academics. You need inspiration? YouâÇÖre looking at it. Now shut up and let me kiss you.'
