body. She was bright like the sun, and he was drawn to her light. He craved it. She was radiant and he needed her. All of her.
    A guy approached her then, and it was as if her light shut off. Piper looked at him and then at Audrey before looking away. The guy looked like a
Jersey Shore
reject. He was short, dark featured, and had a weird buzz-cut head. Tate hated him instantly. He watched Audrey’sbody tense up when the guy slowly grazed his fingers down her cheek.
    “What are you staring at this time? Still Audrey?” Phillip asked. “Dude, just go over and talk to her, she’s really nice.”
    Tate shook his head. “She blew me off.”
    Phillip laughed. “Really? That’s crazy.”
    “Yeah,” Tate agreed, watching as Piper walked away with a worried look on her face. Tate felt an overwhelming need to go over there and make sure Audrey was okay. Her face was twisted in worry, and the guy kept getting closer as she tried to get away.
    “Ah, forget her. She isn’t worth it.”
    Tate couldn’t have disagreed more.
    She was worth it, and she was going to be his.

    Not good, not good, not good

    “You look amazing, A, so fucking amazing,” Levi whispered against her cheek.
    Levi’s hard hot body pressed against her. The hair along his jaw tickled her cheek while his spicy cologne played tricks with her mind. God, he smelled good, but she knew this was bad. She couldn’t let Levi get to her. He was going to hurt her and she knew it. But when he looked at her, his bright hazel eyes swirling with lust, she had a hard time remembering that he could break her into a billion pieces.
    “I’ve missed you, Cupcake. Haven’t you missed me?” he whispered again.
    Ah, his nickname for her. No matter what, he could have her withering with just that one sweet word. It was as if the word caressed her, making her feel like she wanted to drown in hislove and worry about the hurt later. Right now he wanted her, and maybe later he would too, and she was living for right now and wanted him too.
    “I have,” she whispered back as his lips dusted her cheek.
    “Come on, let’s get out of here.”
    Audrey shook her head. “I can’t leave my date.”
    She was drunk, but even she knew that she couldn’t leave Aiden without dancing with him. When she glanced toward the dance floor and saw that he was busy getting down with Jakob Titov’s little girl, Allison, she smiled. Guess Aiden wasn’t too worried about his old aunt; he had his eyes set on sweet Allison. She looked just like her father, beautiful brown eyes and long, straight brown hair. She was beautiful, and together. Aiden and Allison were so cute!
    When Levi pressed his body against her, she took in a deep breath, her body humming for his.
    “I think your date is busy,” he said. “Now come on, let’s go. I want you naked, now.”
    Audrey arched her back, further pressing herself against him. She knew this was wrong, but she was horny and drunk. Plus, part of her hoped that he was for real and wanted her back. Part of her knew that wasn’t true, but the hopeless romantic in her prayed it was.
    “Well, when you put it like that, how can I say no?”
    But even as she said it, she knew she was making another mistake.

Chapter 6
    “Shit.”
    Audrey rolled over, stretching her arms above her head. With a satisfied grin, she opened her eyes to see Levi putting on his shirt from the night before. She only caught a glimpse of his tight abs before they were quickly covered by the shirt. Memories of running her tongue and mouth along those abs hit her hard, and she was soon ready to go again. Before she could suggest that he join her back in bed, Levi reached down to pick up his shoes. Audrey sat up, covering her chest with her blanket as she glanced at the clock, seeing that it was five in the morning. What the hell was he doing?
    Surely he wasn’t leaving after last night. They had made sweet burning love, he whispered how much he’d missed her and how he was never
