Seducing the Star

By Lilly Avalon

I don’t know why I’m at this party.

After recently getting dumped by my boyfriend, I’d much rather be ringing in the new year at home in my pajamas. If I were cozy and warm on my couch, I wouldn’t have to worry about the dreaded midnight kiss. Everyone else is partnered up and I’m stuck trying to figure out what to do with the clock ticking down to the inevitable. Enter Phoenix Westbrook.

He’s sexy, he’s nice... and he’s a porn star?

This information may have initially come as a shock, but just makes the idea of kissing him all the more tempting. We make a pact to share a kiss at midnight, with no strings attached.

We didn’t count on the kiss leading to more.

Seducing the Star

Maggie Bloom doesn’t know why she’s at this party.

Recently dumped by her serious boyfriend, she would much rather be ringing in the new year at home in her pajamas. If she were cozy and warm on her couch, she wouldn’t have to worry about the dreaded midnight kiss. She has to figure out what to do and time is running out.

Enter Phoenix Westbrook.

He’s sexy, he’s nice… and he’s a porn star? This information may have initially come as a shock, but just makes the idea of kissing him all the more tempting. They make a pact to share a kiss at midnight, no strings attached.

But no… I let my best friend Goldie give me the puppy-dog eyes, and somehow I’m standing here among a group of mostly strangers in a tight red evening dress with a dirty martini in hand, wondering why I caved.

Thank goodness for the alcohol.

Violet’s house is beautiful, Goldie says. I wish I’d been the one to help design it. It’s too bad Luna already did before I started working for her. Luna is Goldie’s boss and interior decorator extraordinaire.

I’m sure if you did, it would be even more beautiful, like you, her boyfriend Gavin says as he presses a kiss to her forehead.

Did I say thank goodness for the alcohol? I did. Clearly I need more if I’m to get through tonight, so I finish the last bit of my drink and excuse myself to go to the bar.

I love my friends, I do, but tonight feels like they’re throwing me a pity bone. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great hanging out with them. While they would never admit to it, they’ve been extra attentive ever since my long-time boyfriend broke up with me this month. Yes, it was
