ROSIE

I stare at my reflection in the mirror, regretting letting Luna do my makeup for my date tonight with Dylan.

“I look ridiculous,” I say to myself as she stands off to the side, looking totally impressed with her work.

Luna fusses with my hair one more time. “You look hawt. Don’t you dare take it off.”

“I look like a clown,” I grumble.

She rolls her eyes before she turns me toward her and holds my shoulders. “You look like a badass bitch. Your girls alone will bring any man to his knees, but add in the smoky eye and the red lips, and he’ll be eating out of your hands.”

“And I want that because?”

“Because it’s better than you eating out of his.”

“You’re weird.”

“I’m smart.”

“He’s seen me without all this. It’s not like he’s seeing me for the first time in his life.”

“Doesn’t matter. He’ll be unable to keep his eyes and hands off you tonight.”

“This is a thank-you dinner, Luna.”

“Uh-huh.” She winks. “He can thank you with some good dick.”

It’s my turn to roll my eyes. “I don’t need good dick,” I tell her before trying to pull up my top to cover my breasts that are reaching for my chin.

I’m not two steps away from her when her hand lands flat on my ass with a load thwap. “Well, you most certainly don’t want bad dick either.”

I rub the spot on my ass that only stings a little, but I’m going to milk it for everything it’s worth. “We may be identical in looks, but after that, we’re not much alike.”

“We are, but you repress your inner goddess.”

There’s a light knock on the door, and Luna claps her hands, filled with so much freaking happiness. Me? My body’s buzzing, and my palms are sweating no matter how hard I concentrate on slowing my breathing.

“I can’t do this,” I announce, standing near the doorway of my bedroom and looking at the hallway like it’s made of lava.

Luna pushes me forward, not letting me back out now, and I hate her for it. “Oh no, you don’t. You’re going. You said you wanted to thank him, and you’re gonna thank him.”

Only a few people know about my dinner with Dylan tonight. It has been a few days since the night he rescued me, and my bruise has faded enough that full-coverage foundation made it virtually disappear. Thank God. Gigi was kept in the dark about the date for obvious reasons—that girl would snitch on me to Dad in a heartbeat. Tamara and Lily don’t know either because the three of them are thick as thieves and I like to keep my secrets on the down-low, and nothing stays hidden when it comes to them.

It takes everything in me to make my legs move, my shoes feeling as if they’re filled with lead. Every step takes effort and concentration, especially since Luna made me wear her highest and sexiest stilettos. If I don’t fall and break my neck tonight, it will be a win…dick or no dick.
