Temptation

Prologue

7 years earlier

Lori banner tried hard not to look, but she could feel his intense gaze tracking her every move. Giddy with the knowledge that she had his full attention, she continued dancing, swaying her hips to the rhythm of the music.

Oh god, how good it felt to have the hottest guy in school watching her, nobody else but her.

James Maximilian Kane or aka Max, had never bothered to look her way ever, especially since there were other more prettier girls who were always vying for his attention. But tonight it was different, he watched her like a hawk from the moment she arrived with his baby sister, Lucy. Ignoring everyone else around him he stared openly at her.

Lucy with her crazy thoughts, believed it was because of her change in appearance.

" I am telling you," Lucy said," my brother is staring at you right now because you look so different and hot. With your hair down, beautiful face, and visibly rocking body, he can't help but be hypnotized. Plus," she added," he finally took the time to pull his head out of his ass to really look at you, and now my darling bro knows how much of a stunner you are." With a wink and a laugh Lucy led her towards a group of people who were dancing. Joining in with her friend's laughter, she let her lead the way.

The party was in an open field with speakers in the back of a truck blaring music. Cars were parked in a circle on the field creating an illusion of being trapped in.

While most of the people dancing were in the middle ,everyone else was either sitting in the back of their own truck with friends, or aimlessly wandering around.

Deciding to just look at him, Lori turned around. Max was leaning against his truck , his heavy lidded gaze following her.

Looking him over she bit her lip, god it was wrong for anyone to look that good. His muscular arms were folded across his chest, his black t- shirt doing nothing to hide his lean body only making him look sexier. His short jet black hair everywhere giving him a boyish look. But his chiseled face and juicy lips made one think of doing other none childish things.

His luscious mouth slowly lifted up into a knowing smirk, his eyes gleaming with amusement and challenge. Oh lordy, but he was beautiful, throwing him back a challenging gaze, she lifted her chin and turned back around.

Hoping he would take up her challenge and follow her she moved out of his view to go further into the crowd of dancers. Satisfied with her new spot she turned around to see if he had followed her, she saw no one.

Disappointed and a little embarrassed she tried to shrug it off and continued dancing, determined to have fun.

When "Cruise" by  Florida Georgia line came on, the crowd went wild. Everyone around her was partnering up.

Feeling the song and not caring about the fact that she was dancing alone, she threw her hands up and moved her body in time with the beat. Partway through the song, she threw her head back and felt a pair of hands go around her waist.

Not caring about who it was, she started grinding against him.

Her partner, proving to be more than capable of keeping up with her, followed her rhythm smoothly. Pulling her closer against his hard body, he leaned forward his breath hot against her neck.

" If I had known you were such a good dancer, we would've done this a long time ago." A sexy deep voice whispered against her ear.
Tingles of awareness shot down her spine. Going still with the realization of who it was, she turned her head to look up at him. Max looked down at her,a wicked smile on his face, his right cheek indenting with a dimple.
