list. Haven’t you noticed there is something strange about him? I think it’s his eyes, because when he looks at you it’s like he really isn’t there with you.”
She shuddered at the memory. “It’s really creepy. I don’t like being alone with him.”
Clinton
reached over, placing his hand on top of hers. “Do you think he’ll do something to you?”
She shook her head. “No, I don’t think he would harm me, but I just get a chill when I’m around him. I haven’t been alone with him in a long time and I’m very happy about it.”
“If I have anything to say about it, you won’t be alone with him again.”
‘I think I’m going to love having you around here the next couple of months,” Jenisha confessed.
“I know I’m going to love been around you any chance I get. And when I get a break in the day I’ll come to your class to say ‘hi.’”
She tried to ignore the pleasure
Clinton
’s words gave her. She would love to see him everyday in her classroom, but it wasn’t a possibility with Mark and Robin always lurking around. She didn’t know which one she disliked the most. However, if Mark caught a whiff that she was dating
Clinton
, the project would be over and
Clinton
would be on the first plane back to
Stamford
. She couldn’t let Mark have that kind of power over him.
Clinton
frowned when she eased her hand away from him. “No, you can’t do that.”
“Are you saying you want me to keep our relationship a secret? Because, damn it, I have never done that before and I sure in hell won’t do it now.”
Clinton
was so furious that his breath burned the back of his throat, keeping from saying anything else to Jenisha.
Jenisha laid her finger on his lips. “I said no because the class already likes you and if you come in all the time I won’t be able to focus on my teaching. How about if we leave the school and having lunch together somewhere instead?”
She watched the anger evaporate from
Clinton
’s body instantly at her words. He wrapped his hand around the back of her neck, pulling her body between his legs. “Will I get to kiss you all I want on our lunch dates?”
She ran her fingers across his bare chest and grinned. “Yes.”
“Precious, I think my answer is yes.”
She kissed him quickly on the lips and moved away before he could deepen it.
Chapter Five
“Hey, where are you going,”
Clinton
complained watching Jenisha pick up her purse off the couch. She couldn’t leave him this early. He wanted them to make out some more on the couch. He had to find a way to make her spend the night with him.
“Home.” She answered sliding her purse on her shoulder. “I’ve already stayed longer than I planned to.” Jenisha knew if she didn’t get out of here soon,
Clinton
could probably talk her into doing anything. Her body was still humming from his kiss earlier and that wasn’t good. She wanted to take things between them slow and easy.
Clinton
got up from his chair. “Is there anything I can say or do to make you want to spend the night?”
No , Jenisha thought, backing away. She wouldn’t let that charm of his work on her tonight. She was going to leave, and that was that. “Not tonight. I really need to get home. I’m usually in bed by now on a school night.”
Clinton
’s deep masculine laugh echoed throughout the huge house. “You’ve to be kidding me. It’s only eleven-thirty, and it’s Spring Break so you don’t have to be in bed early for school.” She wasn’t going to get away from him that easily. He worked years to perfect his charm, and no woman could resist it, not even his Jenisha.
“You must remember I’m used to going to bed early because I’ve to be there before the seven year-olds are. They expect to see me sitting behind my huge desk waiting for them.”
Sighing,
Clinton
grabbed Jenisha’s arm, tugging her back into his arms. “I guess you’re right about that. I remember my second grade teacher. I loved seeing
