My fingers wrap around Abbie’s bicep, and I shake her. “Look at the three guys heading to the bar.”

Her head turns so fast it’s a miracle she doesn’t give herself whiplash. “Sweet. Jesus.”

“Uh-huh,” I murmur, my eyes stuck on one of the guys. Even with a three-piece, royal blue suit he’s wearing, I can clearly see he’s ripped, his muscles causing the fabric to strain. He’s the definition of tall, dark, and handsome.

“They’re all panty-dropping attractive,” Abbie says. “That’s it. I want a harem.”

A burst of laughter escapes me, and it has Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome’s eyes snapping in my direction.

The gut punch of his light blue eyes, locking with mine, knocks the air from my lungs.

Holy crap, he’s gorgeous.

I know gorgeous is not the right word to describe a man, but damn, he’s just… swoon-worthy gorgeous.

“Aurora…”

Those light blue eyes, paired with rich, dark brown hair, make him look downright godly.

Blue has always been my favorite color.

Hmm…Sharp and chiseled features. Solid, square shoulders with a broad chest that’s complimented by the vest he’s wearing.

My gaze slowly roams over every inch of him before resting on the light blue pools that can only be described as heavenly.

My heart is beating a mile a minute, and there’s a fluttering in my stomach.

“Aurora!” Abbie whisper-shouts, then starts to laugh as she grips my forearm, shaking me out of the trance I’m caught in.

Startled by the realization that I’ve unashamedly stared at the man, I turn my attention to my friend, my cheeks going up in flames.

“Jesus. The two of you practically undressed each other with your eyes.” She fans herself before downing half her drink.

Alcohol is a really good idea.

I grab my cocktail and try to drown my embarrassment with every last drop of the cosmopolitan. As I lower the glass from my lips, my tongue darts out to catch a stray drop. My eyes have a mind of their own because they lock onto Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome, only to find his gaze still zeroed in on me.

Dear Lord.

I’m slammed with an overwhelming self-conscious feeling and quickly look away from his intense gaze. I set the glass down and force my eyes to stay on Abbie.

“He’s still staring at me,” I whisper as if the man will be able to hear me above the music.

“I know,” she chuckles, a wide smile making her look stunning. Abbie’s whole face always lights up whenever she smiles. It’s one of the things I love most about her.

She waves a hand to catch the server’s attention and orders another round of cosmopolitans. Once the server is out of earshot, Abbie says, “Enjoy the attention, Ra-Ra.”

It feels like his eyes are still on me, and as I reach for my bag, my gaze flicks in his direction, only to confirm that I’m right.

I can only look at him for a couple of seconds before I chicken out again, and the flush on my cheeks deepens.

This is mortifyingly embarrassing and, simultaneously, so freaking alluring. I’m constantly torn between gawking at him and looking for a spot I can stick my head in to hide.

I glance at my best friend, and seeing how happy she is with the attention she’s receiving from the other two men, I have to admit it’s fun.

Allowing my mouth to curve into a shaky smile, I suck in a brave breath of air, then lock eyes with my tall, dark, and handsome man.

This time I’m rewarded with the left corner of his mouth lifting in a hot grin, followed by a slight dip of his head.

Dear God, don’t let my heart race any faster. I don’t want to die of a heart attack at eighteen…almost nineteen.

“It’s fun, right?” Abbie asks, then she holds her drink up in the direction of the three men, giving them her prettiest smile.

“Yeah,” I agree. I look around the rest of the VIP section, trying not to come across as desperate for another glance at the gorgeous man.

But again, I fail, and before I know it, we’re locked in a heated stare. I swear on all that’s holy, there are enough sparks flying between us to light up an entire city.

Chapter 2

Misha

I’m hardly paying attention to the playful banter between Armani and Alek. They’re arguing about who will approach the girls first.

Shortly after we arrived, the sound of laughter drew my attention, and I locked eyes with a being that can only be described as an angel. I haven’t been able to look away from the woman since.

Her heart-shaped face, button nose, and perfectly shaped cheekbones and jawline make for the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.

“The black-haired beauty is mine,” I murmur before pouring the vodka down my throat. They can fight over the other one that’s pretty in her own way.

“I’m trying my luck with the flirty one,” Alek chuckles. “I need to get laid before we start training.”
