‘I’m pretty sure we’ll be recreating that moment tonight, you look divine in that dress.’ He stroked her wrist in a way that made her stomach clench with need.

‘I cannot wait. We can always get this food to go and eat it at home after you’ve recreated that moment.’

‘Don’t tempt me. I promised you a proper date and I mean to keep that promise.’

She brought his hand to her mouth and kissed the inside of his palm. ‘OK.’

He swallowed. ‘But maybe we can get dessert to go.’

‘That sounds like a plan.’

Immy watched Xander drive painfully slowly along the country lanes back to Lovegrove Bay. She didn’t know if he was deliberately trying to torture her by prolonging the journey home or whether he was just being extra careful because of the precious load she was carrying.

He glanced across at her and smiled. The date had gone really well, beautiful location, beautiful man, it couldn’t have been more perfect. They had talkedconstantly throughout the evening and it was no surprise to her that they got on so well, even without Max’s guide to dating. But throughout the date there had been little touches, looks, comments about what he wanted to do to her later, so already her body was humming with need for him.

He reached out and placed a hand on her thigh, stroking the inside of her leg through the silky fabric of her dress. She let out a little moan of need as he moved his hand slowly up her thigh.

‘You need to hurry up. If we don’t get home soon, I might spontaneously combust,’ Immy said.

‘That would be a travesty, especially because you’ll miss out on the hottest sex of your life.’

‘That’s a bold claim,’ Immy said, writhing in her seat as his hand drew closer to the exact spot she needed him. ‘I’m not sure you can top your previous endeavours. You already hold every spot in the top ten.’

‘I can pull over and give you a little taster if you want,’ Xander said.

Her heart leapt. ‘What?’

‘I can find a secluded spot on the side of the road and take care of you, if you feel like you can’t wait until we get home. I mean, we’ll be home in ten or fifteen minutes but if you’re at risk of spontaneous combustion it’s probably safer if we pull over. It’s your call.’

She looked around. The road they were on was completely deserted and there were lots of trees and wooded areas on either side of the road. She’d never done anything like that before. After the accident shehad reinvented herself, given up her boring accountancy job and opened up the sweet shop which had always been her dream. She’d swapped dark suits for brightly coloured dresses, she’d taken up scuba diving and learnt how to play the saxophone. She wanted to live a life of joy, excitement and adventure. When Xander had offered her a one-night stand, something she had never wanted before, she’d decided to throw caution to the wind and do it. But she’d never had sex in a car before or maybe he planned to do it outside.

‘Pull over,’ she said.

‘No problem, let me find a good place.’

Within moments Xander was pulling off the road and following a tiny dirt track through the trees. When the car was far enough away from the road, he pulled over onto the side of the dirt track, turned the engine off and immediately got out. Her heart was thumping against her chest with excitement. He walked round to her side of the car, opened the door and offered her a hand to get out.

‘Where are we going?’ Immy said, taking his hand and stepping out the car.

‘We’re not going anywhere. The old Xander probably would have taken you against the nearest tree, but you’re carrying my baby, so I want you to be comfortable.’ He opened the back door. ‘Get in and lie down.’

There was something oddly thrilling about him being so bossy and commanding. She got in and lay down on the seat, her feet just dangling over the edge.She propped herself up on her elbows so she could watch him.

He took his jacket off, slinging it into the front, and then stood there, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt as he stared at her. She didn’t know why that was so hot but it was. He grabbed the hem of her dress and very slowly started pushing the dress up towards her hips so it rested around her belly. The way he stared at her so hungrily made her go weak.

‘I like these tiny shorts,’ he said.

‘I do too. Would you like me to take them off?’

‘Oh no. I very much want to take them off myself.’

She watched as he hooked his fingers in the waistband and very slowly slid them down. As he pulled them off he shoved them in his trouser pocket and she laughed at the audacity.

He leaned over, took hold of her hips and tugged her towards him so her hips were now on the edge of the seat and her legs were resting on him. He bent over, hooking her knees over his shoulders, and without any further preamble his mouth was suddenly right there where she needed him the most.

She cried out in shock as pleasure surged through her. She’d presumed there would be some preliminaries, some kissing, some gentle lead up to it, but Xander had clearly sensed her urgency and just skipped straight ahead to the main event. She clutched at the headrest with one hand, grabbed his hair and wiggled and writhed against him.

‘Keep still,’ he muttered against her before hecontinued worshipping her body’s most sensitive area with his mouth.
