“Clarissa’s band?”

She nods. “It’s my birthday soon, so...”

“Your birthday?”

“Yeah, I’ll be twenty in a few days.”

“Well, then we have to celebrate.” I’ll make this the best night of her life, and she’ll make me forget about Marcello for a couple of hours.

And then we’ll never see each other again.

It’s a win-win.

CHAPTER3

Aurora

I’mhot all over and my cheeks are flushed, but I can’t stop staring into Luca’s dark brown eyes. There’s just something so magnetic about them, or maybe I’m seeing things that aren’t there because I’ve never really danced with a guy like this before.

He’s the kind of guy I could only ever dream about meeting—tall, lean, with strong shoulders and muscular, tattooed arms. His short dark brown hair is effortlessly messy, and his smile oozes confidence and a tiny little bit of danger.

He’s probably one of those guys I should run from. A guy who’s used to getting whatever the hell he wants and then leaves you heartbroken in the end. The devil with the face of an angel. But I’m not here to fall in love anyway. I’m here to have fun.

He spins me around and tugs me into his warm embrace, leaving me breathless. His hands lower to my hips, and I can barely focus to make sure I don’t step on his foot.

But Luca doesn’t care about my awkward dance moves. He twirls me around and presses himself against my back. A shot of electricity zaps me as he shifts his hips, rubbing himself against me. Warmth pools between my legs, and I’m glad the music is loud so no one can hear my soft moan.

I don’t know what’s happening to me. Whenever Julia talked about having butterflies in her stomach after meeting a guy, I didn’t believe her. It all sounded so fake and impossible. I thought it was only her way of saying that the guy was really, really good-looking.

But the jittery feeling low inside me is something completely different from what I’ve ever experienced. My need grows every time my body brushes against Luca’s. His hands trail down my body, and a moment later, I find myself face-to-face with him. His full lips are slightly tilted up, his gaze trained on mine.

I could stare into his eyes forever. He tips his head, his mouth only a breath away from mine. My pulse speeds up as my lips part.

He’s going to kiss me. I’ve never kissed anyone before.

Will he notice? Will I be terrible at it? Will it feel good?

A million thoughts fly through my head in what seems like a nanosecond. I take a deep breath and slowly release it.

But Luca pulls away, a smile curving his lips. My cheeks burn as I look away from him. Is it super obvious that I have no clue what I’m doing?

Luca leans in, his mouth grazing my ear. “Would you like to go somewhere more private?”

My breath gets caught in my chest. What does that mean? I wish Julia were right here next to me so I could ask her for clarification.

But I think I know what Luca wants.

Sex.

What else would a guy like him want from a girl? I bite down on my lip. What doIwant? I’m obviously not looking for love or for a relationship. With my family situation, dating is impossible.

It looks like Luca and I are on the same page here.

One night.

One hookup, and that’s it.

We’ll never see each other again.
