She pulled a blanket up over both her and Luca like it was a shield, though she made no attempt to hide how cozy she was against him.
Luca groaned under his breath. “You’re all insane.”
“You’re the one who came downstairs half-naked,” Waylon shot back. “We’re just supporting your vibe.”
Mia giggled. Luca looked at her and raised a brow.
“I love you,” she whispered like that would somehow make it all okay.
The reality was, it did. She could say those three little words to him and get away with anything.
Every. single. time.
It didn’t take long for chaos to ensue.
The next thing he knew, Waylon was rating dance moves and Casey was fanning his face dramatically every time someone took offtheir shirt.
Luca tried to play it cool, but Mia wasn’t helping.
Every time she shifted beside him, her thigh slid against his. Every time she laughed, it tugged something deep in his chest.
In the middle of one of the most intense dance scenes, Mia leaned up and whispered in his ear, “Think you could pull off a move like that?” Her lips brushed across his jaw.
He choked on air.
Waylon caught the sound and grinned. “What’s the matter, Luc? Too much inspiration?”
“Too muchsomething,” Mia teased, looking rather smug and not even pretending to be sorry.
Luca pinched the bridge of his nose, fighting a smile he didn’t have a chance of hiding.
By the time the credits started rolling and the screen dimmed to black, no one made a move to get up. Casey had all but melted into Owen’s lap, Waylon was halfway to sleep with an arm draped over his eyes, and Mia was still curled against Luca, warm and soft beneath the blanket.
“Ten outta ten,” she said sleepily. “Would watch again.”
Luca kissed her temple. “Next time,Ipick the movie.”
“Only if you wear pants,” Waylon mumbled sleepily.
“No promises,” Luca replied.
Mia let out a yawn.
“Come on, sleepy head. Let’s get you upstairs.” Luca carefully stood and held out a hand to her.
“Goodnight,” Mia said over her shoulder as she followed Luca.
The guys mumbled their goodnights back to her.
When they made it to his room, Mia stepped inside and sat on the edge of his bed while he closed the door behind them.
Luca huffed a soft laugh. “Still can’t believe you let them pick that movie.”
“You handled it better than I expected.”
He moved toward her. “You whispered dirty things in my ear during half the scenes.”
She gave him a sexy smile. “It was for morale.”
