“You’re right,” she huffed. Then she looked at me with that gleam in her eye that always made me nervous. “But relaxing is going to have to wait because you and me are going to party our asses off tonight.”

“Matteo!” Arianna called across the room as we made our way to the door. “We are headed down.”
I stole a glance at Luca sitting behind his desk, his eyes were locked on me. They captivated me and I felt a shiver run down my spine. There was this pull towards him I couldn’t explain.

Luca tried to hold back a chuckle, sliding a hand over his luscious lips. Matteo just smiled amusingly. Somehow I got the feeling I was suddenly on the outside of an inside joke— even though I’d started it.
