she replied, and her mother’s words rang through her mind… ‘make a good impression’…. “I am sorry about that,” she said, looking down and then turning to look up at him with an apologetic expression.
     
    Before she knew it, Reed had slipped his hands from his pockets and reached for her face, tilting it upward to meet his. He pressed his lips against hers gently, softly at first and then he opened her mouth with his and kissed her deeply. Her hands flew up to his shoulders and she pressed against them to push him away, but Reed held her head firmly with one hand and slid his other hand over her breast, squeezing it and then he reached around behind her and grasped her rounded hip, pressing her snugly to him.
     
    He moaned in pleasure and she jerked her face away from his, finally breaking his grasp on her head, but not escaping his arm around her or his hand clamped to her hip.
     
    “What do you think you’re doing?!” she yelled at him in disgust.
     
    He smiled at her, pulling her close to him and he leaned in and kissed her neck softly, just beneath her ear. “I’m letting you make it up to me. You’ve behaved like a stuck up snob all night and now you say you’re sorry. Well, this is how I’m going to let you make it up to me.” He trailed warm, soft wet kisses down her neck. “Besides, honey, this is what our parents want. I’m just doing what you and I are expected to do.” He reached for her head again and planted his mouth over hers, kissing her deeply again.
     
    Guilt and fury wrestled within Jillian as he dominated her mouth and sent sparks of electricity shooting through her body. She didn’t want anything like this to happen between them, but he was right, this was exactly what her mother wanted, and the woman would have been pleased to know that Reed liked her and wanted her, but at the same time, she was outraged that no one was respecting her feelings or her desires and wishes; not her mother, not Carter, and certainly not Reed.
     
    He reached his other hand around her so that both of them were firmly grasping the fullness of her hips while he kissed her, his tongue sweeping over hers hungrily, and he pulled her tightly to his hips, pressing his rock solid erection against her and rubbing the bulge of it against her inner thigh. Flames of desire shot through him and he groaned in need as the feel of her body against his filled him with lust for her.
     
    She couldn’t stand another moment of him, and his advances had finally gone much too far. She wriggled out of his grasp and moved several steps away from him.
     
    “Our parents might want this,” she said breathlessly, trying to slow her anger and her heart, “but I sure as hell don’t! You have no business whatsoever treating me like that! Did I ask you to kiss me? No!
     
    “Did I invite you to feel me up or start grinding on me? No! What is it with you? Do you think you can just do whatever you want with any woman at all and she just has to go along with it? Do you think I’m standing here for nothing more than your physical pleasure? Well, I’m not! You need to get a grip!” she yelled at him.
     
    He stood before her, staring at her in absolute shock, and complete arousal. No woman had ever told him no or not wanted him before. It was a totally foreign experience to him.
     
    “I had a grip…” he teased, smiling at her and stepping toward her. “I had a great grip, but you broke out of it. What is it with you? What’s your big hang up, anyway? I tell you how gorgeous you are, and you get insulted.
    “I try to flirt a little and you shut me down. I bring you up here to enjoy the sunset and you apologize to me for acting so cold and mean, and then when I give you a little kiss, you freak out and get all upset!” He stepped closer to her again. 
     
    “That was not a little kiss!” she snapped at him. “Your hands were all over me!”
     
    He chuckled and nodded slightly. “Oh yeah, honey, that was indeed
