that afternoon’s filming. But, despite those feelings, she still wished she were stronger, she wished she could say no to this man before it got out of hand. Because it would. If she let it.
‘You can’t be serious, Dominic. Why would we want to do that?’
He gave that low, sexy laugh, looking right into her eyes, and she’d never felt so turned on, so desperate to have someone that she could just fuck them there and then and not care who the hell was watching. Jesus, what the hell was he doing to her?
‘Why not?’
She smiled again, touching his lips with her fingertips. ‘You’re crazy. No way, Dominic.’
He slid an arm loosely round her waist, pulling her against him, kissing her mouth slowly and softly and she just fell against him, unable to fight it anymore. Not that she’d really tried that hard to fight it in the first place.
‘You’re making me feel about sixteen again,’ she whispered, looking up into those incredible blue eyes of his.
He smiled that movie star smile and she felt her stomach dip again. ‘Well, you don’t look a day older.’
‘Oh, shut up!’ she laughed, pushing him away, then grabbing his shirt and pulling him back against her. ‘Quit with the smooth talking, okay? You’ve already got me into bed. You can stop trying so hard now.’
He pushed a hand gently through her loose blond hair, pushing it back off her face, moving his mouth closer to hers as he spoke. ‘I don’t ever want to stop trying. Where would the fun be in that?’
She was still looking up into those beautiful blue eyes of his, her heart still beating so hard it hurt. ‘We’re due back on set soon,’ she whispered, his whole presence completely overwhelming her. ‘They’ll start to miss us.’
‘No, they won’t. Everyone’s busy. They don’t need us.’ He ran his fingers lightly over her shoulder, across her collarbone, his touch sending those now-familiar shivers right through her. ‘But I need you, India Walsh.’
Her head was spinning now and she backed up against the wall to steady herself, every memory of every second they’d been together invading her head, making her want him more because those memories were incredible – he was incredible. ‘Yeah,’ she said, her eyes scanning his handsome face. ‘I kind of need you too.’ Because she had no choice in the matter in now.
She closed her eyes as his mouth touched hers again, just for the briefest of seconds before he pulled away slightly and smiled at her, a smile that sent every fibre of her being into overdrive before his lips met hers again in a longer, deeper kiss. She could feel the heat of his body and she pressed herself up against him as the kiss got harder, one of his hands resting on her hip, pulling her closer and she literally felt herself spinning, aware only of him right beside her and the feel of his mouth moving on hers. It was just a kiss, but it was a hell of a lot more.
‘My trailer,’ he whispered, his mouth resting on hers as he spoke. ‘Come on.’
And who was she to argue?

Michael looked at his watch. Five more minutes then he was going to have to call time on the morning’s filming and break for lunch. But he still had a lot to get through before that afternoon’s scenes were shot.
He was more than aware there’d been a few raised eyebrows at the last-minute extension of an originally small love scene into full-blown sex between the two leads, especially as it was no secret how Michael still felt about India. So it was only natural that everyone assumed he would do anything he could to avoid throwing her and Dominic together, but instead he seemed to be almost encouraging it.
Well, he had his reasons. And for some reason even he couldn’t fully explain at the minute, he wanted to see how Dominic and India looked together. He wanted that picture in his head because, after what he’d just found out, he really needed to see that. He really needed to know. And now he had the perfect opportunity to find out.
The actual scene he planned on shooting may never make it to the final edit, he didn’t yet know whether it was entirely necessary for the plot of the movie, but it was something he needed to do. For his own personal reasons. Unprofessional, maybe, but if they were going to start talking unprofessional then
