He sauntered to his record player, which was just a Bluetooth speaker. Trance music filled the room. The synthesizers and bass vibrated, giving me a slight headache. Out of nowhere, Luke turned around wearing gloves with LED lights glowing from the fingertips.

He started flipping and twirling his hands fervently to the beat of the music as he stared at me intently from across the room.

Never. Breaking. Eye contact.

“Uh . . .”

He put his index finger against his lips. “Just watch.”

He bit his lip and twirled his fingers with passion, getting closer and closer. Pretty soon, his crotch was thrusting to the music in front of my face. If I were onThe Officeright now, I’d break the fourth wall and look at the camera with utter disappointment at how my life got to this point.

“Pretty cool, right?”

Discombobulated from the bright light, I nodded and turned away. “Yes. It’s fulfilling every EDM fantasy I’ve ever had. But maybe we can take a break?”

Luke paused. “I know what this is about. You mustbe a little nervous.”

I looked up at him in confusion. He stopped his little hand dance and sat next to me.

“It can be intimidating being with me. I’m successful, young, and attractive, with a bright future. But I promise I’ve still got my insecurities.”

I highly doubted it but asked nonetheless. “Really? Like what?”

“I’m always worried people will only see me as an Instagram model.”

I raised my eyebrows.

“People should know I can sell gummy vitamins too.”

I held back a snort. “Oh?”

“Yeah, I want them to know I can do protein powder ads, maybe even fit teas.”

“That’s very noble . . .”

Luke booped my nose with his glowing fingertip.

He continued to stare at me and breathed in deeply, brushing his lit fingertip across my cheek. “I gotta say, when you first came into class, I thought you were modeling with me.”

I was taking my first official art class. I’d been self-taught at a young age and finally got the courage to get some real-world experience.

The day I met Luke, I couldn’t deny he was extremely attractive. He was an easy figure to draw—a bright shock of blue eyes, a perfectly straight nose, and a well-endowed package.

Frankly, I was surprised he’d asked for my number after class. I wasn’t used to attention from men, especially ones that looked like Luke, and was flattered. I was excited at the thought of losing my virginity to himbefore he started talking.

“This is what I wanted to do when I first laid eyes on you.” Luke moved in, and I held my breath.

His tongue plunged into my mouth. I tried to keep up with his motions but he was so erratic—when he went left, I’d go right. When his tongue would swirl, mine would retreat.

Luke wrapped his hand around the base of my head as he deepened the kiss.

Loud moans emanated from his mouth.

In a panic, I mimicked his noises, not knowing what else to do. We were like two seals making noisy, clumsy love.

I started reflecting on every decision that had led me here.

Suddenly, he pulled away with a satisfied smile. “God, you’re incredible.”
