her to put her arms into.
    ‘I guess the fifties are red because that’s the colour you see when you have to spend that much,’ Lillie quipped and Jed laughed, even though it wasn’t that funny, which made her fancy him even more, if that was even possible.
    Outside, Jed hailed a taxi in the inimitable New York style and Lillie slid across the seats, wondering if he would leave a space between them or slide all the way over to sit next to her. She gave the name of the pub to the driver and felt both nervous and gratified when she felt Jed’s thigh touch hers.
    As the car pulled off, she turned to thank him for dinner, the words never reaching her lips as Jed’s own lips pressed against them.
    The butterflies in Lillie’s stomach woke up with a start and her heart stuttered as everything but Jed disappeared from around her. She felt his hands on either side of her face as his mouth softly touched hers and his tongue gently parted her lips, a low groan escaping from his throat.
    Lillie couldn’t think, didn’t want to think, as she surrendered herself to the most perfect kiss she’d ever experienced. The smell of him filled her head as she pushed her fingers into his thick hair. Underneath his aftershave was that spicy, lemony scent that was just him. She pushed her body into his as he kissed her harder. She had to stop herself from straddling him right there in the back of the taxi. Her skin was alive with his touch, her senses overwhelmed with a fierce desire she had never felt before. She didn’t ever want it to stop but, just as her head started spinning from the intensity, he pulled away, gently catching her bottom lip between his teeth, his eyes half closed.
    Clearing his throat, he asked her in a low, thick voice if she still wanted to go for a drink. Rendered speechless by his kiss, Lillie shook her head and Jed asked the taxi driver to go to his hotel, looking at her to check that was okay. Lillie’s quick nod confirmed it and he gently pushed her fringe from her eyes before trailing feather-light fingers down her face, brushing them over her lips. His fingers tipped her chin up and he moved even closer to her to bestow a lingering kiss on her mouth before sitting back and staring at her with his intense dark green eyes. He picked up her hand to play with her fingers and then turned away to stare out of the window.
    Lillie sat back, confused. She had thought that kiss had been the most incredible kiss she had ever experienced. She had felt it throughout her entire body, Christ, it had damn near made her come and all she wanted now was for him to kiss her again. She glared at him, watching the houses go by like it hadn’t affected him at all. She felt disconcerted, anxious and, worst of all, incredibly turned on.
    As the taxi pulled up to the hotel, she was tempted to tell the driver to take her home, but her body wouldn’t let her brain function fast enough for the words to come out, and she was out of the car before she knew it.
    As Jed led her to the lifts, Lillie had the sudden horrible thought that she was just going to be another slutty groupie going up to his room for casual sex. Going up in the lift, she was seriously doubting herself and him, and halfway down the corridor, she suddenly stopped.
    ‘I don’t think I want to do this.’ Jed stopped in his tracks and stared at her askance, key in hand as they continued to look at each other, faces mirroring their mutual confusion and paranoia.
    ‘What? I thought… that kiss… it was so amazing, didn’t you think…’ Jed’s voice trailed off as he fiddled with his key card.
    ‘I don’t want to be some groupie you sleep with and then laugh about tomorrow with Johnny,’ Lillie blurted out, blushing, her eyes fixed on the floor, not daring to look him in the eyes in order not to lose all her resolution. When she finally managed to look up, Jed was staring at her in horror.
    ‘Is that what you think? Oh God, Lil, I can’t believe you would
