Some dares are worth everything…
Luca “Hard Man” Van der Laar is the top bad boy player for the MLS team,
Washington Ospreys. Attending a Miami Thunder charity event he lays eyes
on a woman he wants to call his own. But can he keep her after their one
night?
Kaitlyn Henderson never expected to find a one-night stand at the event
she attends. But there he was and there they were. From a family of
cops, and as a 911 dispatcher herself, she embraces life, taking it as
it comes, understanding that the next second may be your last.
She wasn’t expecting anything more than their one shared night, however
he takes that as a dare and is determined to prove there is so much more
between them than twenty-four hours. |

He flexed his fingers around the jersey he’d brought for
her. Luca wanted her to wear his name. Start with the
jersey, go from there.
It wasn’t all he wanted on her.
Luca pushed to his feet and approached. “Hi.”
“Evening,” she replied.
“I have a spot over there.”
He gestured to the blanket spread out he’d left from. She
smiled and he looked over his shoulder to find Milar had
already planted himself on it, legs crossed and waiting,
expectantly.
“I’m sitting here,” the boy announced.
Luca’s heart tripped once more when her full lips rose in
another smile.
“I think that’s going to be wonderful. I get to have the
most handsome men with me at the concert.” Kaitlyn walked
over to him and sat on one side, brushing a hand over his
hair.
Luca took the other side and enjoyed the start of the music.
After the band had been playing for a while, he leaned over
the boy who remained glued to the music and spoke in her
ear, “I have something for you.”
Kaitlyn turned her head, eyes wide and full of unspoken
questions. When he didn’t speak immediately, she asked,
“What’s that?”
He passed the bag over and put it in her hand. “This.”
Her gaze flicked between it and him. “Is it safe for me to
open here?”
Luca grinned at her teasing tone. “It’s family friendly.” He
leaned closer. “I have something else that’s not, if you’re
interested in unwrapping that.”
Her tongue danced along her lower lips. “While I am
interested, I should probably stick with the family friendly
one. I don’t need that image all over the newspapers.
And internet.”
“Such a shame. It’s very excited to meet you.”
Her pupils dilated and she inhaled sharply. Determined, she
opened the bag and pulled out his jersey. “Thank you,” she
gushed. “You didn’t have to bring me one. I know they cost a
lot of money.”
He brushed some of her curls away from her face. “It’s one
of mine.”
“Same size you wear?”
“No, one of mine.” He dragged a finger down the side of her
cheek. “I wanted you in my clothing.” |
