Intro
“Alex!”
The tall figure lifted his head at the call just as a sweeping spotlight caught the edge of the stage.The beam carved the sharp contours of his striking face, casting a slick sheen over his honey-toned skin. With every breath, his sculpted chest and defined abs flexed in steady rhythm.
He strode straight toward her, a deep smirk playing on his lips as his piercing gaze locked onto her.
“Leah, this is Alex,” Michelle introduced smoothly.
The instant her eyes met his, a surge of heat shot through her body, sending a shiver straight down her spine. Beneath her ribs, her heart skipped a wild, erratic beat. ...
The feeling lingered, long after the moment had passed.
As midnight bled into 1 AM, the bassline of the music began to mellow. The drinks were finally catching up with Leah—not enough to knock her out, but just enough to stir a deep, simmering heat within her.
…
Stepping outside the club, the muggy night air hit her flushed skin, leaving a fine sheen of sweat across her body. As she slipped off her jacket, her bare skin caught the pale moonlight. She tried to keep her balance, but every step in her three-inch heels felt dangerously unsteady.
Suddenly, the deep, raspy growl of an engine echoed beside her before rolling to a stop, drawing her dazed eyes toward it.
A tall figure in a black leather jacket sat astride the sleek superbike . The raw, intoxicating mix of his natural scent and cologne hit her, sending a sharp thrum straight through her core.
His long fingers flicked up his helmet visor, revealing a pair of sharp, glinting eyes that pinned her to the spot.
“Leah... need a ride? ”
