“What do you drink?” she asked after she flagged down the bartender.

“I will have an old-fashioned,” Hunter stated.

The bartender brought him his drink and the two toasted together. They both stayed silent for a bit while they drank. There was tension in the air, the good kind. The kind of tension that can only be settled in the bedroom. Hunter finally decided to break the silence. He needed to know more about Luna.

"I couldn’t just stand there while he called you a vulgar name,” Hunter said. “A woman should never be talked to like that.”

“I appreciate it,” Luna said. “Like I said earlier, you did me a great favor. That date wasn’t going anywhere, anyways.”

“What?” Hunter curiously asked. “You don’t like being constantly interrupted?”

Luna laughed out loud. Hunter stared at her. She had a beautiful smile and full lips. For a moment, he wondered what it would be like to kiss her.

“Were you watching us?” she enthusiastically asked.

“Well, it was kind of hard not to notice,” Hunter said. “The guy was loud, and I couldn’t help but hear the conversation, well,his conversation. He didn’t seem too interested in what you had to say, but I, on the other hand, could not be more intrigued by you.”

Luna blushed again. She hesitated for a moment. She debated whether or not to say what she wanted to. It was obvious there was chemistry between them, but she did not want to say something that would scare this handsome man away.

“So,” Luna stated. “Were you watching that disastrous of a date, or were you simply watching me?”

Hunter smiled. His pearly white teeth shined. The sight of him made Luna squirm in her seat again.

“You were definitely my focus,” Hunter stated boldly. “I couldn’t help but stare at you. You’re beautiful. I noticed you before he even approached. I debated introducing myself to you sooner, but I thought there was no way someone like you wasn’t already with someone.”

Luna pursed her lips together. Hunter was so attractive. He was so polite and in control. She wondered what it took to make him go wild with her.

“Well,” she started to say. “Well, I am very much available, especially after you got rid of that loser for me.”

Hunter took Luna's hand, and a warm sensation rippled through her entire body. Heat rushed to her cheeks as they locked eyes, exchanging smiles that seemed to hold an unspoken connection.

“Hey,” Hunter said. “Do you want to get out of here?”

Luna licked her lips and eyed Hunter up and down.

“More than you know,” she said with a smile.

Hunter grabbed Luna’s jacket and gently placed it around her shoulders. He left another one-hundred-dollar bill on the bar for their tab. It was more than enough to cover the cost of their drinks and a generous tip for the bartender. It was obvious that Hunter was wealthy and giving.

These qualities created a delightful blend of romance as the two strolled out of the bar hand in hand, with the city lights beckoning them. Luna felt an exhilarating blend of adventure and safety as they walked down the street. There was something undeniably enticing about Hunter.

Sure, he was handsome, but it was his willingness to rescue her from the worst date of her life that made her view him as a protector. Nothing was more attractive than someone who wanted to take care of her, especially after spending her entire career caring for others. For once, she yearned to be the one who was cared for.

The pair walked by a nightclub. Usually, she wouldn’t be interested in dancing, but tonight was different.

“Would you want to dance with me?” Luna asked seductively.

Hunter didn’t verbally respond to her. He just grabbed her hand and took her inside the nightclub. He walked right past the line to get in. Everyone in line stared at him as he walked by. For a moment, she thought it was strange, but then again, Hunter did have a strong presence surrounding him.

The bodyguards didn’t even stop him. It was almost as if they knew who he was. Luna also thought this was strange, but she was too focused on getting to dance with Hunter. She wanted nothing more than a reason to get closer to him.

The couple walked into the club and traveled straight to the dance floor. The loud music serenaded them as their bodies began to dance. Hunter couldn’t help but stare at Luna. The way she moved made him think about other ways they could dance together.

Her breasts subtly bounced in her red-hot dress as she moved her hips side to side. Her long hair flew through the air as she let her body lose control. Hunter wanted to lose control, too.

Hunter started moving closer to her. He grabbed her hips and pulled her closer. Their bodies moved rhythmically to the music. They were both transfixed on each other. To them, there was no one else in the room. They saw only each other. Hunter reached up and moved a piece of Luna’s hair out of her face. Their bodies were sweaty from dancing, and the sweet scent of sweat only drew them closer to each other.

Hunter placed his hand on Luna’s chin. He gently lifted her mouth to his. Hunter had been thinking about what it would be like to kiss her since the moment he saw her. The moment finally happened. It all felt so effortless.
