I led Sebastian through the paved courtyard to the communal front door.

“There’s no working elevator,” I said. “So no chance of a repeat performance, I’m afraid.”

A tiny smile played on his lips, but he didn’t respond.

We walked through my front door to the soothing tones of Billie Holiday. Dahlia emerged, dressed in an indie band T-shirt and skin-tight wet-look leggings.

“Hey, you guys. I put this on for some atmosphere.” She took a long look at Sebastian, sizing him up. I guessed she approved, because she beamed like a maniac at me and hurriedly decided to leave the room. “Right, I’ve been up way too long. See you at a more civilized hour, Fin. Have fun, you two.”

Then she winked exaggeratedly at me and Sebastian pretended not to notice.

“I apologize for my theatrical roommate,” I stuttered, ushering Sebastian through to the living room.

“She seems to think you’ve picked me up for a one-night stand,” he said, fixing me with those sapphire eyes again. I couldn’t tell if they were sparkling with amusement or irritation.

“Does she?” I replied, weakly. If Dahlia seriously thought I was capable of picking up guys like this, she was paying me an enormous compliment.

Then again, what was the encounter in the elevator all about? I mean, I totally picked him up then. Didn’t I?

“Yeah, she does. She thinks I’m your sex toy for the night.” Sebastian pushed the living room door closed behind him. “Is that what you think?”

He walked towards me, looking… I don’t know, dangerous. Like a wild animal closing in on his prey. I was mesmerised by his height, his strength and the air of danger that surrounded him. It was also completely jarring to see him in his perfect tailored suit, against the backdrop of my landlord’s late-eighties floral wallpaper horror show.

“I… uh…” Words seemed impossible.

“Because that wasn’t really what I had in mind.” He was standing right in front of me now. I was trapped, backed up against a bookcase.

“No?” My voice was squeaky and unnatural.

The close proximity to him was doing strange things to me. Warmth pooled in my panties again. I was suddenly aware I hadn’t even showered since our encounter in the elevator. Oh god. That needed to be fixed right away.

“No.” He put his hands on my shoulders and leaned right into my face. I froze. “I don’t intend to be your one night stand, Finola Malley. I’ve had plenty of those and I don’t have a vacancy for another.”

I stared at him, barely understanding his words. His sheer beauty struck me like a thunderbolt. Cheekbones, glittering blue jewel eyes and a body that could make a grown woman weep with longing. I could look at this man all day.

“Do you have a shower?”

I snapped back to reality.

“A shower?”

“Don’t tell me. You and your roommate take turns huddling round a candle with a pitcher of water and sponge yourselves down.”

“We’re poor, not time-traveling Victorians. Yes, of course we have a shower.”

I guided him out of the room towards the bathroom and opened the door.
