[Dom]
My heart was racing, she was here! In my office and she'd just left. I was an arsehole to her, I could see the pain in her eyes, I could hear it in her voice and I'd pushed the dagger deeper. I wanted her to feel some of the pain she'd caused me. But it had pained me to see her tears. I never wanted her to cry over me. My office door swung open.

"You're an idiot if you don't go after her and apologise." Jen stood in the door way arms crossed over her chest.

She was right. I grabbed my blazer and ran for the elevator but the doors closed just as I got to her. I frantically pressed the button on the other elevator and it pinged and the doors opened.
The journey to the ground floor felt painfully slow and I just prayed no one called for the lift on my way down. The doors opened onto the reception lobby, the all familiar sound of her heals clipping the marble floor told me she was near the exit.

"Georgiana!" My voice travelled across the spacious lobby catching everyone's attention.
She spun round, her face pink from crying, her eyes full of tears. Maybe she still felt something too?
I closed the gap between us only to see Donovan next to her who was no doubt about to kick the shit out of me after the way I treated her. I took her small hand in mine but she winced.

"I'm so sorry for being such a dick in there. Please whatever it is you have to say to me I will listen." She looked from me to Donovan and he nodded and left through the revolving doors. Why would he go? Surely he was here to convince her not to have anything to do with me.

She stepped closer tears still falling down her cheeks. I brushed several away with my thumb but this only increased their intensity. I tugged her hand and walked her towards the elevator, ignoring the prying eyes that followed us.

The doors opened and I chaperoned her inside. We held hands until it reached the top floor at which point she took her hand back and wrapped her arms around herself protectively. She followed me back into the office wiping the tears from her face.

I was grateful to see that Jen had left to take her lunch. I grabbed my phone and sent her a quick message to pick us up something if she had time.

Georgiana stood in the middle of the room staring at her hands. I reached for a tissue and handed it to her. She forced a small smile and proceeded to delicately dab her cheeks. She was still so perfect.

"Please." I indicated to the couch set in the middle of my room.
She moved towards it and took a seat.

"Can I get you something to drink?" She shook her head.

"No thank you Dom." Just to hear her say my name made me feel more at ease.

"You came here to tell me something and I behaved like a dick head. I'm sorry. Whatever you have to tell me I will listen." She looked at me with her doe like big brown eyes, the lashes still wet from her tears. All I wanted to do was take her in my arms and kiss away her tears. Make things right.

She nodded and cleared her throat.
"I ... I ... sorry, I'm nervous." I loved her honesty, how her voice and her body always gave away her emotions. I had always loved how authentic she was, there never seemed to be any ulterior motive behind her actions. It was a rare thing to find in someone, and it made her all the more special.

I smiled warmly at her hoping it would help her relax and open up to me.
She swallowed hard and took a deep breath. What did she want to say? That Jeremy and her were together, that they were marrying, that she was pregnant? Oh get a grip Karlsson. Every worse case scenario ran through my mind.

"I am so sorry Dom for everything. For my lie, for not standing up for you in front of Jeremy and for not returning your calls and messages. But mostly I feel so ashamed of myself and my behaviour. You have been nothing but wonderful to me." Her words shocked me. She didn't have to apologise for her virginity that was crazy.

"Georgiana please ..." but she cut me off.

"Dom please, let me finish. I was ashamed of my virginity, I feared that if you knew you wouldn't want me anymore, that you'd see me as some pathetic little girl. That you wanted a woman, someone who knew what they were doing in the bedroom. And then when you said nothing when Jeremy told you I took that as confirmation that you no longer wanted me." Her revelations stunned me. It didn't bother me at all. To me she was perfect. The fact that no man had touched her made her even more special to me. But she was talking in the past tense.

"Does that mean you're no longer a ... virgin? Did you sleep with him?" The words hurt to say.

"What? No not with that shit head! The other day was the first time I had seen him since that night." What? They weren't together. But did that mean she had slept with someone else?

"But I thought that was why you wouldn't pick up my calls." I was dumbfounded.

"I was ashamed Dom. I thought you were calling to say you no longer wanted me. I couldn't bare to hear it. So I hid away but I've been miserable." I couldn't help but smile. How had I got it so wrong?

"I thought you wouldn't speak to me because you didn't want to be with someone from ... from my kind of background. With my family history." I couldn't look at her.

"Dom I already knew most of what Jeremy said. Daddy had told me all about you when he found you. None of it mattered to me nor did it change how I felt about you." The heavy weight I'd felt around my chest lifted. I was sure she would be disgusted by my past.

"And what about now? Are you with someone?" I didn't want to know if she was but I knew I needed to hear it.

"No. Are you with someone?" Her petite features looked so worried. As if I could be with anyone but her. I hadn't so much as looked at another woman.

"No." The tension in the room lifted.

I took her hand in mine, kissing every knuckle and placing her palm to my mouth.

"I'm sorry Georgiana, I hope you can forgive me." She smiled and put her lips to mine.

"There will always be a place for you in my heart Dom Karlsson whether you like it or not." With her words I kissed her hard pulling her lower lip between mine which made her moan loudly.

"I've missed this!" I whispered into her ear.
She hiked up her skirt and sat astride me and started to grind her pelvis into my growing erection. I could just make out the top of her stockings which sent my imagination running wild.

I ran my hands up and down her thighs making my way between her thighs when a loud knock was heard.

"Dom, I've got lunch." It was Jen.

Georgiana climbed off me, straightened out her skirt and picked up a magazine and pretended to read it.

"Come in." I couldn't help but laugh. I grabbed a cushion and placed it on my lap.

Jen entered and set down a selection of sushi on the table in front of us. She looked between us assessing the current state of affairs.

I smiled and nodded at her, and she returned a relieved look.

"Thank you Jen, this look delicious."
