George nudges my arm. “You never told me you had history with Josh.”

“I didn’t tell anyone. How do you know?”

He shoots me a sheepish look. “I saw him go after you the night you catered. He looked upset. I know he argued with Jessie.”

I come to a stop and turn toward him. “You’re a good source of gossip, then?”

He chuckles. “Not usually, but you’ve been good to me and it involves you, so …”

I take a deep breath. “Josh and I were involved a few years ago.”

His eyes widen. “Ooooh.”

“Yes. And Jessie’s going to shit a brick when she finds out we’re seeing each other again. She never liked me.”

He nods slowly as if everything’s falling into place.

“Come on then, let’s get you to him. Maybe it’ll help her shit some bricks.” He grins and I think I’ve taught him something new.

“I’ll make a Kiwi out of you yet, George.”

After a short walk, we round a corner and I’m confronted with a wall of cameras and lights. Josh and Jessie come into view.

“Over there. We’ll just have to wait until they’re finished,” George says.

I swallow hard. It feels like an intrusion.

Josh has his arms around Jessie in a romantic embrace.

“Cut.”

I clamp my lips together in amusement as the second the word comes out, Josh drops his arms and takes a big step back. Jessie frowns.

She really does look like someone’s shit in her cornflakes. But I forget about her when Josh links eyes with me.

“There’s my girl.” Josh beams.

“I heard some guy wanted food?”

He takes the bag and thickshake from me, and hooks his arm around my shoulder. “Only from the best delivery person in town.”

“I’m probably the only delivery person in town.”

“I had to see you,” he murmurs.

“Couldn’t wait until tonight, huh?”

“Nope. Have you got a bit of time?”

I shrug. “I’m the boss. Besides, Pania has everything covered. Why?”

He gathers everything in one hand and slips his free arm around my waist. “Jessie’s got scenes to film this afternoon. I don’t. I thought we might sneak off to my trailer for a little while.”

“Oooh, did you now?” I laugh between kisses as he pulls me tight against him.

And then he kisses me, long and deep, and I’m lost as his tongue claims mine. At first, I’m a bit self-conscious, but then I don’t care if there are cast and crew around. Josh is showing everyone how he feels about me and leaving them in no doubt who he wants. He clearly trusts them.

And his body’s leaving me with no doubt what he wants.

“Let’s go to my trailer.” He nuzzles just below my ear, sucking the lobe into his mouth.
