Nina's Passionate Experiment

Chapter One: On a Hunt

"Don't do it, Nina," Cara warned, watching me adjust my dress to expose my cleavage even more.

"I've already made up my mind, sweetie. Stop trying to convince me otherwise because tonight I'm on a mission and I refuse to back down until I get what I want," I replied, letting her understand that every one of her efforts would prove to be in vain because I don't intend on changing my mind.

The plan I had was very simple: find a cute guy, talk to him, seduce him a bit, and if he fits what I'm looking for, propose a temporary fling with no expectations.

I made up my mind that I was going to do things differently from now on, and since I didn't want to have flings with different guys at the same time, I preferred to find a perfect match for myself and let him know that whatever we had was only going to be temporary.

Being the youngest of the Vitali sisters, I've always tried to appear as the perfect one who has no flaws. I never wanted to follow in my sisters footsteps and deal with the ridiculous scandals they frequently found themselves in, but at this point in my life, I've had enough of being the good girl.

I had put too many expectations and restrictions on myself for such a long time that I never even realized up until now that my life has been very boring and repetitive.

I've never had a boyfriend; I can't even remember my first kiss; I've never had sex; and I know nothing about anything.

By the time I realized that Id been living a vain life, it occurred to me that I needed to do something fast to change how I'd lived, and the best way to do that was by stepping out of my innocent cocoon and discovering what it meant to feel alive.

"I'm not sure you know this, but there are a lot of bad guys in places like this, and you can't just approach any of them thinking that they are going to fit your criteria. Even if you find someone, he may not exactly be a good person, and you wouldn't want to fall into the hands of someone whos only going to end up taking advantage of you," Cara said, still working very hard to try to change my mind, but my mind was already made up.

"I get it, Cara. You're trying to warn me that there are bad guys out there, but theres no need for you to do that. You're making it sound like I intend on jumping to bed with the first guy that comes my way, and that is not my intention at all. I'm going to carefully look for someone that I feel is going to understand what I want, and when I find that person, Ill begin my experiment on what passion really means," I responded, unable to hide my excitement.

If I successfully found what I was looking for, my entire life was going to change, and everything that Id avoided in the last twenty-one years of my life was exactly what Id get into.

Was I nervous? Yes, I most definitely was, but the nervousness I felt wasn't enough for me to change my mind and go back to being the innocent and sweet Nina that I've always been.

Cara let out a frustrated sigh as she gave up on trying to talk me out of it.

"Just be careful, Nina. Hes hot, but you can't tell if hes a sensible person or if hes another one of those douchebags looking for easy sex. If you spot any sign of being crazy, run and don't look back," she advised, and I chuckled before patting her shoulders lightly and walking away.

I spotted a guy sitting a few seats away from us, and seeing that he was pleasing to the eyes, it didn't take me too long to decide that I needed to speak to him so that I could figure out if he was my perfect match or if everything he was ended with just his looks.

I pulled my dress down readily before approaching his table with a seductive smile on my face. A few weeks ago, I didn't know what it meant to have a seductive smile, but after practicing for days, I finally perfected my smile so that I don't end up creeping men out with my previously odd smile.

"Hi," I greeted, stepping closer to him and taking a chance to observe his face a little more. He was very good-looking, just like I expected, but I wasn't getting a good feeling from him, and something told me that he could end up being one of those annoying men who never shut up.

"Hello there, beautiful. How may I help you?" he responded, his eyes immediately lighting up with an expression I recognized as lust.

I wasn't surprised that he was immediately attracted to me since I was very self-aware of how beautiful I was, and I was also quite aware of the fact that I had great sex appeal.

"I apologize if I'm bothering you, but I saw you from my table over there, and seeing how you're here alone and drinking by yourself, I thought itd be nice to have a chat. Do you mind?" I replied calmly, waiting for him to gladly ask me to sit with him.

"Of course not, beautiful. Why in the world would I mind a beautiful lady like yourself walking up to me for a good conversation? Please do sit with me, gorgeous," he responded exactly how I expected him to, and I took a seat without thinking twice about it.

"So beautiful, whats your name?" he asked.

"Nina and yours?" I replied.

"Tyler. Tyler Woods. You may have heard my name since my family has quite the reputation," he responded, and immediately he brought his family into the conversation. I got turned off.

"And may I ask why you think that I may have heard of your name because of your familys reputation? Are they even famous?" I questioned, trying to mask the fact that I was irritated.

I was hoping that he would stop talking about his family and just change the subject, but the idiot did the exact opposite and started to try to describe his mediocre family to me.

"Well, you may not know them depending on where you're from, but I can assure you that they have quite the reputation in the country, and so do I," he bragged, and the urge to gag overwhelmed me.

If there were certain kinds of men that I could not stand, it had to be men who tried to brag like they were all that.

For someone like me who grew up in a family that fell under the ten percent clan that was almost untouchable, I couldn't stand men who tried to brag in my face like they owned half the world, and the fact that Tyler started his conversation by trying to throw his useless reputation or whatever in my face with such audacity canceled him from being a potential lover.

"Well, I came here to talk to you because I thought that maybe you and I could get along, but I can see now that you're not my type. You talk way too much for your own good. Have a good evening," I said, not wasting any more time before getting up and walking away from him.

He was already canceled in my books, so I didn't even entertain his attempt to talk to me again because nothing could change my mind that he was a complete idiot.

"Well, that was fast," Cara said as I arrived back beside her.

"Truly, not every man with a pretty face is worth looking at. The idiot was a complete zero, and I didn't think I could stand holding a conversation with him for much longer without throwing a drink in his face to shut him up," I told her honestly, and she chuckled in response with an 'I told you so' look on her face.

"Now, have you finally come to your senses on this nonsense hunt you're on?" she asked.

I scoffed. "Hell no, baby. Why would I, because of one man, give up on my plans when there are hundreds of men out there? I still strongly believe that there are many fish in the sea, and I intend on finding my temporary fish," I replied confidently, still determined to bait the best fish.

Cara was still trying to tell me how crazy I was for choosing to go ahead with my plan when I spotted a blonde hottie coming down the stairs from the VIP area.

"Oh, my God!" I blurted it out unconsciously, completely fascinated by what I was seeing.

"What is it?" Cara asked, looking in the direction my eyes were fixated on before turning back to me with a look of disapproval.

"Hell no, Nina. Don't even think about it!" she snapped, but I was already far too mesmerized to be stopped.

"That man right there is exactly what I'm looking for, Cara, and I'm going to get him," I said to her, not for one second taking my eyes off the beautiful man in front of me.
