on sliding her hand down until it cupped the bulging denim

pushing out the zip. Instead she increased the pressure on her

hand and thrust it between the denim band and loose hang of

his shirt, reaching into the tight space between jeans and skin

at the apex of his strong thighs. She felt an electrifying jolt

go through his entire body, his shocked jaw sagging open to

her exploring mouth as she fanned her fingers out over the

silky distension in his briefs, tracing the rigid tip of his

erection, feeling it pulse against her circling thumb.

He groaned, his hips lifting, the lunging twist of his chest

towards her engaging the locking mechanism of his seat belt,

trapping him at the mercy of her exploring touch. He was about

to wrench himself free when she cruelly broke off the kiss.

‘What I want different is for me to dictate the choices,’ she

purred. ‘And what I choose now is to go home and have a

cheese and pickle sandwich for lunch, so—carry on, driver!’

And with one last, wicked little tease of his straining manhood

she was withdrawing her hand from his pants when another

car tooted past, briefly slowing as it drew alongside, this time

a big, sturdy, dust-laden four-wheel drive with the personalised number-plate VET KEN.

actions he looked over at Kate, buckled into her seat belt and

sitting primly upright looking serenely ahead, her hands

folded in her lap.

‘You’re as red as a poppy,’ he discovered.

She could imagine. She could imagine far too much, that

was her trouble, she thought, smoothing her hair nervously

behind her ear.

‘His seat was so high up…do you think he could see what

I was doing?’ she couldn’t help asking.

Drake laughed so hard that Kate refused to speak to him

all the way back to Oyster Beach, but it was hard to act cool

and dignified when you had been spied with your hand down

a man’s pants! It didn’t seem fair that her foolish attempt at

revenge had rebounded so embarrassingly on herself. Or

that she had found it so unexpectedly arousing to toy with

Drake in that scandalous way on the open roadside. If Kate

was hauled up on a charge of public indecency her mother

would have fifty fits—and probably recommend hard time

in the slammer!

Even Prince seemed to be having a sly laugh at her expense

as he punctuated Drake’s continuing chuckles with an occasional wuffle, and he added insult to injury when he leapt out of the car at the other end and raced around as if he’d just

undergone a day at a leisure spa rather than prompted a mercy

dash to the clinic to save his life.

Kate apologised stiffly to Drake for the disruption to his

day. ‘I hope I haven’t put you and Melissa too far behind in

your schedule by dragging you away from your writing for so

long,’ she said, and beat a hasty retreat as his lingering smirk

turned to a moody frown.

It wasn’t until she’d forced down a cheese and pickle

sandwich in order not to make even more of a liar of herself

of her car.
