thereâs some attraction, but I think we should keep our relationship strictly on a student-teacher level.â
He shrugged. âWhatever suits you.â
âI hope, by the end of our lessons, youâll have developed a sixth sense about the timing of such things.â She swallowed, the taste of Trent still lingering, reminding her of what she really wanted to be doing now. âWhat you need is practice, lots of practice.â
âSo is that all weâre going to do tonight? Kiss?â
âN-no,â Josie stuttered., âIâd like to get a full assessment of your current skill level.â
âYou mean, like a standardized test?â
Josie bit her lip and held back a grin. âI guess you could call it a test, but it wonât be multiple choice.â
âI wish youâd let me know ahead of time that Iâd be tested, so I could have prepared.â
âNo preparation necessary. This isnât the kind of exam you can study for.â
She felt his gaze follow her as she leaned down and unbuckled the ankle strap of one sandal, then the other. She slipped her feet out slowly, hoping her actions looked seductive and not merely routine. From her vantage point, she took note that his own feet, already bare, were strong and tanned and sexy enough to kiss.
If she were so inclined. Which she wasnât. No, she wasnât desperate enough to develop a foot fetish.
Not yet anyway.
Trent cleared his throat, and Josie sat up, a little embarrassed that sheâd been ogling his feet.
âDo you want to do it right here on the couch, or in the bedroom?â he asked.
âWhere would you normally bring a woman?â
âDepends on what the night calls for. Sometimes things heat up so fast we donât even make it into the house, other times we make it to the floor inside the front door, or on the couch, or the table, or the bathroom, or the bedââ
âI get the picture.â This situation had the distinct disadvantage of requiring her to discuss with Trent his having sex with other women.
âWith you, I know from experience things can heat up fast,â he said.
And fizzle out just as quickly? No, letâs donât start talking about the past. Nothing would ruin Josieâs chances of getting laid faster than them getting into a debate about her ditching him at Ocean Beach.
âHow about you take me through your standard sexual encounter, step by step?â
âDonât you think thatâll kill any chance it has of being hot, if Iâm talking the whole time?â
âHmm, good point. How about you make it sexy talk? Could you do that?â
Trent grinned. âI think I can manage.â
âOkay, start with this scenario. You and I have just returned from dinner. Weâve known each other for a couple of weeks, and this is our second date. The first one went well, but I wasnât interested in anything more than a kiss at the door. Tonight, youâve invited me up to your place for drinks, and Iâve been receptive, leading you to believe that weâll have sex.â
âYou wouldnât be playing the tease, would you?â
âOf course not.â Josie shifted her gaze to the wall, wishing he hadnât brought that up. She deserved thelabel heâd given her, but tonight that was going to change.
It had to change before she went cross-eyed and started growing hair on her palms. Or was that only supposed to happen to guys?
âThen, Iâd have to move a little closer to you on the couch, like this.â He scooted over until his hip pressed against hers, and the closeness sent a little jolt to her groin.
âOkay, what next?â
âGuess Iâd have to ask you if youâre thirsty, since I did invite you up for drinks.â
She looked at him from the corner of her eye. âI was hoping youâd used drinks as an excuse to get me here and have your way with
