Page 6 of Mafia Boss's Baby Surprise

Theo elbows me and leans closer to shout into my ear over the loud music. “That one’s watching you.” He nods in the direction of a girl in a tight red top and a black miniskirt.

“Don’t care. Not my type.”

“What about that one over there?” He points at a redhead at the bar.

“No.” I look around. “I prefer someone like...”

My gaze searches the crowd and settles on a brunette whose eyes are wide with wonder and excitement. She’s wearing a plain black skirt, a black leather jacket, and a pale pink top under it.

“That one,” I say.

“Which one? The blonde in the corner?” Theo’s brow creases.

“No. The brunette with her.”

“Really? Are you messing with me right now? The blonde is way hotter.”

“Why? Just because you don’t even have to try hard to picture her naked?

“Well, yeah. At least you know you’re not wasting your time. Your girl looks like someone who’s saving herself for marriage.”

I spread my lips into a smile. “We’ll see about that. I like a challenge.”

Theo laughs. “It’s not going to work. Trust me.”

“Wanna bet? She’ll be mine before midnight.”

The brunette looks like she’s longing to have some fun, but she either doesn’t know where to start or how to let herself go. I can help her with that.

Theo narrows his eyes at me. “Fine. I want to see you try.”

“Stay here,” I say to the guards.

“Don’t want to scare off your prey?” Theo wiggles his eyebrows.

“Quit it. Just stay here and watch. If Clarissa doesn’t distract you first.” I chuckle.

“Oh, nothing will distract me from watching you fail.”

“Never happens. Won’t happen now either.” I head toward the brunette.

She and her blonde friend notice me immediately as I approach, but it doesn’t look like they recognize me or know who I am, which intrigues me even more.

“Hey.” My lips spread into a smile as I meet the brunette’s dark brown eyes and then lean close to her ear. “I haven’t seen you around here before. What’s your name?”

Her breath catches, and she blinks at me as I look deep into her eyes. “Um, Aurora.”

“Nice to meet you, Aurora. I’m Luca.” I extended my hand to her. “Dance with me.”

Her full lips part as if she wants to say something, but she doesn’t. Her friend gives her a little shove toward me, and Aurora glances over her shoulder. The blonde gives her an encouraging smile.

“Okay.” Aurora takes my hand, and I lead her with me to the dance floor.

She’s tense, and a fast song is playing, so I don’t pull her close. Instead, I keep my distance and my gaze on hers as we dance.

“You don’t come here often, do you?” I ask.

“Not really. I’m not from around here. Came with a friend, Julia. She likes this band.”
