"Can I walk you back to your hotel ?" They were standing outside the restaurent and Zac looked at her asking.

Emma felt the butterflies erupt in her stomach, even though she knew that he didn't meant it that way. "Of course, I would love you to".

He took her hand, lacing his much longer fingers with hers and she looked up at him smiling.

Something just clicked, and she knew she was ready. If he wanted to come inside, this might be her last evening as a virgin and she felt the butterflies do something that felt like a conga line.

"Well we are here, thank you for a wonderful evening Emma, it was lovely having some time alone. I can't wait to spend more time just you and me". He brushed a loose curl behind her ear.

She bit her lip nervously, afraid of making a fool of herself. "Hey you kind of owe me dessert".

"You are like no one else Emma, and that is why I love you". He said with a little laugh and pulled her into him.

She felt like the whole world stopped for a second, did he know what he had just said ? "Uhh Zac, do you really mean that ? What you just said".

He looked like he only just realised that he had said it out loud, then he looked into her eyes and nodded. "Yes Emma, I do mean it. I do love you. I know it is terribly fast and I hope I don't scare you.. I.."

"Zac could you stop rambling for a second and let me say something ? I love you too". She couldn't contain her smile.

He smiled so happily it felt like a ray of sunshine and pulled her as close as possible, mumbling into her hair. "Phew I was so afraid I had just scared you off".

She just kissed him, then she opened the door, pulling him with her into her room and closing the door behind them.

He looked at her with uncertainty. Like he wasn't sure what to do now. She kissed him softly and he seemed to relax a bit, letting his hands rest on her lower back.

When she let her mouth travel kissing and nibbling down his neck, she felt him finally relax totally and he sighed happily.

She let her hands run up under his T-shirt, kissing him warmly, and suddenly she was pressed up against the door by his body, the kiss getting more passionate.

Emma lost every possibility of breathing, and it didn't get better when she felt his hand sneaking up under her shirt, finding her breast. She was moaning and struggling to stay on her feet.

And suddenly it was there, something she never felt before, a burning desire for him, to give herself to him, to be his.

She pressed herself against him and without thinking about it, her hand slid down, grazing the obvious bulge growing in his pants, making both of them catch their breath.

He suddenly pushed her away gently, looking at her. "Emma I think it is best that I leave now".

"You don't have to Zac, it is okay, I..". He stopped her rampling by putting a finger to her lips.

"Emma not now, I think we should wait okay ?" He looked uncomfortable, his hand scratching his neck.

She didn't understand why, but she didn't want to say anything. She already felt kind of stupid, so she just nodded weakly.

He kissed her softly. "Remember I love you Emma, and I see you tomorrow okay ? Better get a good night's sleep".

"I love you to and yes see you tomorrow". She send him a sweet smile and waved before closing the door behind him, but on the inside she hurt, she felt rejected and stupid.

She flopped down on her bed, what had she done wrong ? She had thought that he wanted to, but instead he just left her.
