able to help her find some of that freedom. In a way that didn’t involve him touching her—naked. Easy...
    When she walked into the classroom with her friend, Sydney, they were giggling over something. Their heads bowed together, dark hair covering their faces. The taller, lanky one, glanced up first and smirked when she saw him and alerted Tris with a tug on her sleeve. When Tris looked up, her eyes flared wide for a moment.
    Yeah, go ahead and forget everything he'd just said about being her friend. He’d thought he was mentally prepared to see her again, but no. Apparently that zing of electricity that went straight to his dick every time he saw her wasn't going to let up.
    Tris blinked twice than offered a small smile before taking a seat in the back with Sydney. Fine by him. He didn't need to be any closer to her.
    When the rest of his students were seated, he smiled and went over his script. When he'd been given this cover ID, he couldn't believe he was supposed to essentially give pimping points to a bunch of college kids. Granted, it was a lot more than that, but he was pretty sure it was a hell of a cruel joke someone somewhere was playing on him.
    "So, for today's session, we're going to talk about chemistry and why some people have it and some don't. Can some people give some factors that play in?"
    He kept his gaze off Tris as much as he could. But hell, he couldn't exactly help it when his gaze drifted over her; there were only ten students in the class.
    Some people called out the answers he expected. "Proximity." "Scent." "Attractiveness." And finally, Tris's friend called out, "Game."
    "Game," he repeated. "Can you clarify, Sydney?"
    For a second, she looked confused, but then she cleared her throat. "Well, yeah, some of it is physical, but for girls anyway, we can talk ourselves into almost anything. I mean, someone says the right thing to us, and we start looking at them in a different way. If we think other women want him, he's also more desirable. And his ability to charm is his ticket."
    He smiled at her, and her mouth dropped open a little. He shifted on his feet at the scrutiny. "Can anyone tell me if charm is going to work for every pick-up artist?"
    One of the guys in the front row muttered under his breath, "I wish."
    Shane bit back a grin. "Elaborate for us, Colin."
    "Well, I mean, with some girls you think you're being charming, and they hate it. Or they think you're doofy or a dumbass, or worse, annoying. So what is the trick to getting an in?"
    Tris called out from the back. "Adaptability and sincerity. If you can gauge your target's response then shift accordingly, you'll have better luck. It's good if a guy is a chameleon in a way, but still himself."
    Shane nodded. "Tris is right. Adaptability is key. So partner up. We're going to practice. And for the purposes of this activity, make the pairings male and female."
    For the next half hour, they used their best pick-up lines on each other. The women having better results than the guys.
    Shane shook his head. "All right. All right. Where do the ladies think the guys are going wrong?"
    Sydney rolled her eyes. "For starters, they're using lines. Like tired, dumbass, pick-up lines."
    "What else?"
    Tris said, "The main problem is they're not sincere, they're acting."
    Colin spoke up. "Okay, Shane, the TA, why don't you show us how it's done?"
    Fantastic . The only girl in the front row now was Tris, thanks to the little exercise.
    Be cool. You can do this . "Fine, watch. And Tris, don’t make it easy on me."
    She blinked wide, dark eyes up at him as a slight smile played on those pretty lips. "Oh, I won't."
    His dick, determined to get him into trouble, twitched. What was it about this girl? Maybe because you know how she tastes.
    He slid into the seat next to her and dropped his voice low. "Excuse me."
    She slid him a glance and ignored him, but he wasn't going to be deterred.
    "I know you probably already know this, but you're stunning."
