“How do I look?”
Giles turned around to look at Nikki coming down the stairs. He took a sharp intake of breath when he saw her. She looked absolutely stunning in a long blue silk dress which clung to every curve on her body. She wore a simple pair of earrings and a small gold cross around her neck. Her long hair fell in loose curls around her face.
“It’s awful isn’t it. I knew it. I told Buffy but she insisted”, she turned to walk back upstairs.
“No”, Giles walked over to her. “You look absolutely beautiful”. He couldn’t keep his eyes off her.
“I’m not going”, Nikki said suddenly.
“What? Why?”
“Well, with everything that’s been happening and this dress, it’s not me and”, she began fingering her cross. “I can’t dance”.
“Of course you can”, Giles told her. “Everyone can dance”.
“Can you?”
“Well, yes I can”.
“Will you show me”, Nikki pulled him into the middle of the room.
“Well, it’s been quite a while”.
“Please?” Nikki pleaded. He looked at her and knew he couldn’t say no.
Giles walked over to the CD player and put on an appropriate song before walking back to her. He took a deep breath before he pulled her into his arms. He felt a shiver run through his body as she put her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest. He could smell the sweet scent of her perfume. His heartbeat began to quicken as they moved slowly to the music. The music stopped but neither of them noticed.
“You seem to be able to dance very well”, Giles said softly.
“Well”, she moved her head from his chest so that she could look at him. “I have a good teacher”.
Giles brought his hand from her waist and placed it gently on her cheek. He began to stroke her lips with his thumb. He kissed her softly on the cheek and then moved his lips to touch hers. He expected her to pull away, shocked by his advances, but instead she pulled him closer.
Any doubts Giles had disappeared as he felt the touch of her lips. She responded passionately to his kiss, savouring the touch of his lips. As the kiss deepened he lifted her up and put her on the couch. He moved from her lips and left a trail of kisses down her neck as he ran his hands through her hair.
His senses were suddenly hyper aware. He could smell the sweet scent of her body, he could almost taste the softness of her skin, he could feel her heartbeat against his chest and he could hear her breath quicken as his hands touched her body.
Giles knew he should stop, but he couldn’t. Everything about her was so sweet, so delicate.
A loud knock on the door interrupted their embrace. Giles quickly got off the couch and tried to compose himself as he walked to the door. Nikki stood up and started to straighten herself while trying to catch her breath.
“Hi”, Buffy walked in the door past Giles. “Are you ready?”
Nikki nodded.
“You looked fantastic. Doesn’t she Giles”.
“Yes, she does”, Giles blushed as he began gathering up some books.
“Are you guys okay?” Buffy’s spider sense was tingling as she looked at Nikki and Giles. They both seemed ..... flustered.
“We better go”, Nikki felt the colour rise in her cheeks. “Bye Giles”. She looked at Giles who nodded quickly before going into the kitchen.
Buffy looked at the him once more before following Nikki out of the door.
