CHAPTER TWELVE

James

For a man who’s so close to having what he knows he wants, I feel strange. Awkward almost, which is not my usual style.

Not because I’m worried Jasmine might think I’m just some rich asshole trying to have his way with her, either. I’m sure she wouldn’t be here if she didn’t want to be.

Okay, so I kissed her when I maybe should have just talked some more, but now I know she can see how I feel about her.

I’m actually worried now we’re here she might not like the place. I mean, I like it, but it’s what Jasmine wants that matters to me. I decide in one second that if she doesn’t like it, she can pick another place. I have to remind myself she hasn’t even seen inside yet.

She sure does look at home already. I mean, she already completes the place by being here. My whole life looks better now that she’s in it.

Tactfully keeping a little distance between us, even though I could mount and stuff her right here and now, I usher her, ladies-first style, into the elevator and study her as we zoom up. I think she’s going to like it.

I know she does already, if her smile is anything to go by. Or is that because she can sense what I really want to show her? Glimpsing my own expression in the mirrored elevator, I think anyone could see what we’re both really thinking about.

When the elevator stops and the doors slide open, we both stand there looking at each other until Jasmine shifts on her feet, signaling me it’s okay to take the lead. To show her inside, I mean.

“Is this the only way in?” she asks, shivering a little as I guide her with my hand on the small of her back.

The entrance to my place comes straight out from the elevator.

“There are a couple of regular front doors… and a back way from the stairs,” I answer.

“Not looking for a way out already, I hope?” I try to joke, feeling it fall flat before I even finish saying it.

Jasmine creases an awkward smile but is soon distracted by the place, especially the view.

I never get sick of seeing the world from this high up, but watching her move over to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, gasping in awe… she steals the show, hands down.

“Oh, my God! I can’t believe how high up we are,” she exclaims, standing on tippy toes as she cranes her neck to see all the way down. Her hands grip the brass railing, and I hear myself groan softly. I move up behind her, my eyes glued to the only thing I’m interested in looking at from now on.

The dark clouds seem closer up here, but a single shaft of light breaks through them all as I get closer to her, shining through the thick glass like a spotlight guiding me to her.

“It’s just so…,” she trails off, turning suddenly and jumping a little when I move my hands onto her waist.
