[Georgiana]

He followed me out of his apartment and into the lift. The morning had left me feeling hot and flustered. But to add to it I'd given away that I liked him. He probably thought I was some pathetic kid with an infatuation.

We stood next to one another watching the lift lights descend. I felt so self-conscious around him because he looked at me in ways that made me feel totally naked and yet that is all I wished for, to be with him. If there was anyone I wanted to give myself to it was Dom Karlsson.

I admired his fine features. He really was breathtakingly handsome. Too handsome. Anyone in his company would always feel inadequate or ugly. But even if he knew this he was anything but arrogant or egotistical.

He said he'd never been in love either, was he really telling the truth? Or just saying it so I wouldn't feel like a child. Honestly what girl my age hasn't had her heart broken at least once? I felt like a freak, a novelty. Jeremy my teen sweetheart didn't count really. We knew he would always move to Paris the summer we got together so I never let myself get too invested. If I had wanted it he would have gladly taken my virginity. He was a sweet boy then I couldn't say I knew him well now. It would be good to see him again at the funeral albeit under sad circumstances.

Whoever would be my first would never know because I would never tell them. They'd surely run a mile if they found out.

I flattened out my dress with my palms, hoping I hadn't gone for something too figure-hugging. His eyes traveled up and down my body making me squirm under his gaze. The sound of the lift opening broke the building tension between us.

"What would you like to do today Georgiana?" His voice husky and low somehow made every word seductive.

"I ... I don't mind." Oh, get it together G, seriously. Why do you stumble on every bloody word when you are around him? He smiled, clearly enjoying the effect he had on me.

"Well, how long do I have you for?" Again, how did he make everything that came out of his mouth sound so goddam sexy? Fine, you wanna play, we'll play.

"All day and all night if you want me," I tried to say in the sweetest voice. It worked, his eyes bugged out and he momentarily lost his train of thought. Ha, yeah two can play this game.

"Good, because I don't like sharing." He replied, grabbing my hand he started walking to exit the building. My feet took a few seconds to register before they caught up with the rest of my body. Woah what did he mean by that?

I had to jog slightly to keep up with his long strides. Even with my heeled boots I only came up to just under his arm. I liked the way his warm slightly rough hand held mine. His grip was firm but not too tight. I relished being in such close proximity to him only hoping he wouldn't pull away.
