started to say again.
    He snapped off the lights and pushed her through the door, ‘I said I’ll drop you off, I don’t want you using public transport late at night,’ he went on evenly.
    ‘Well if you’re sure,’ she conceded travelling on the bus late at night was not top of her favourite things to do list, plus she had just remembered there had been a football match earlier that night. ‘Thank you,’ really quite relieved not to have to share the bus with hoards of drunken football supporters.
    ‘Pleasure,’ he drawled pushing the button for the lift.
    For just one second she could have sworn he was laughing at her, but he turned his face away hiding his expression from her enquiring eyes.
    While they travelled down from the tenth floor to the car-park located in the basement, Quinn spent her time studying the carpet until she became aware of Maxwell studying her reflection in the mirror; looking up through her lashes she caught him off guard for the moment.
    Leaning back against the interior wall of the lift he was scrutinising her hair, his blue eyes were moving slowly down from the back of her head, resting for a moment on the length of her hair before continuing down. Even though her suit jackets all looked a size too big he guessed she had a full figure, the boxy jacket she was wearing finished half way over her backside but he could still tell it was shapely; her legs were long and nicely shaped. What he often wondered was how did she manage to walk around all day on the killer heels she wore all day? Today they were black patient leather, at a rough guess he reckoned the heels were at least three inches high and she was still walking as gracefully on them as she had been at nine that morning.
    Maxwell was deep in thought and was stroking his chin between finger and thumb when the lift gave a small jolt and they both looked up at the same time, for a long moment their eyes met in the mirror until he looked slowly away.
    Quinn pushed the expression in his eyes and the way it made her feel to find him watching her as far out of her mind as she could. She was so deep in thought trying not to think about him, she hadn’t realised the lift had stopped or that he was waiting for her to alight from it.
    ‘Do you intend to stand there for the rest of the night Quinn?’ he asked with a touch of amusement in his voice.
    ‘Sorry, I’m very tired I was miles away,’ she told him barely lifting her eyes to his, in truth she was alarmed by her reaction to him watching her.
    ‘Yes it’s been a long day,’ he agreed.
    Quinn glanced at him briefly and gave a soft snort; he didn’t look in the least bit tired in fact he looked every bit as fresh and alert as he had at eight thirty that morning!
    Holding the door for her he waited while she settled herself into his luxurious Mercedes before closing it with a reassuring clunk. Suddenly she didn’t feel so relaxed; somehow sitting in his car was more intimate and for the first few minutes sat chewing her lip.
    ‘Do you drive?’ he asked when she nodded he then asked, ‘Do you have a car?’
    ‘No…I did have but it was a waste of money so I sold it a while ago, it cost almost as much to park for one day as it does to use public transport for a whole week,’ she shrugged her shoulders. ‘I don’t really have anywhere to drive to so I don’t miss it and besides my friends and family live close,’ she explained. ‘This is a nice car, it’s very comfortable,’ she added after a small silence.
    ‘Thank you, I haven’t had it long,’ he ran his long fingers around the leather steering wheel while he spoke.
    With a great deal of effort she dragged her eyes away from the way his fingers caressed the leather and focused her eyes on the road ahead, without really seeing where she was. For some reason which eluded her she could visualise him stroking her skin and running his fingers through her hair.
    ‘We’re here Quinn,’ he said pulling the car to a
