Page 40 of Original Sins (Dark Odyssey 6)

A blush creeps into my cheeks, and I look at Georgiou, hoping I didn’t offend him.

“I didn’t mean I wouldn’t with you,” I say quickly.

“I know, your eyes gave you away,Duchess. I already knew you would before I asked the question.” Georgiou smirks. “This is just us getting to know you better before we see you tomorrow.”

Tomorrow.That’s when it happens. I’ll lose my virginity, and I’ll be different forever.

What will happen, though?Will I get to choose who takes me first, or will they?

God, listen to me.

“You have questions,” Henry states, cracking his knuckles.

“I do.”

“Then ask away.”

I look from one to the other. “How will it work?”

“We’ll see how it goes,” Georgiou answers. “Does it scare you that it’s two of us?” He rivets his gaze to mine.

I should say yes because it’s true. I was expecting one guy, and now I have two. But, when I really think about the question he’s asking me, I don’t actually feel scared because I’ve liked them both for so long. So, at least I can be truthful in this respect and tell the truth when it comes to my feelings.

“No.”

They both exchange curious glances, and Georgiou returns his gaze to me.

“Good, you shouldn’t be scared of us. We won’t hurt you,” he promises, and that makes me think of Peter.

I don’t want to think of that bastard now, but it’s nice to be told I won’t be hurt. Not the way Peter was going to hurt me.

“We literally will play it by ear and how we feel. But, I get to take your virginity,” Georgiou adds. “That’s the only plan we have so far.”

Henry touches my chin and guides my face toward him. “What have you done before Duchess?”

Embarrassment creeps into me. I’m eighteen years old, and I haven’t done anything besides happen to stumble over a few porn videos at Cordelia’s house.

That’s it.

Crazy as my cousin is, she would never leave me alone with anyone when she took me to parties, and if she had to, one of her guards was always with me.

“I haven’t done anything,” I rasp.

I sound so lame, but the smile he gives me is the type you’d find on a person who just won a million dollars. I guess for billionaires like them, it would have to be a pot of gold.

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“So you’ve never been kissed?”

I shake my head. “No. I haven’t been kissed.”

He tilts my chin higher, and the touch of his fingers smoothing over the edge of my neck sends a shiver of warm pleasure through me.

“Well, since Georgiou gets to take your virginity, can I have your first kiss?”

My breath hitches at the question because I’m surprised. “You’re asking me?”
