In this excerpt, Emily and her young coach Sergei just had a friendly night out at the Sting concert. Emily's best friend Aubrey has warned her about getting too close to Sergei since coach-student relationships are a big no-no.
A shiver sped down my spine at the thought of spending another evening with Sergei. I didn't know if I was still on a high from the concert, but being in the dark car with him was heightening all my senses. I'd always thought he was attractive. Only now did I notice how his smile softened the sharp angles of his face, how sexy my name sounded in his Russian accent, how his T-shirt hugged his lean yet muscular chest.
I gulped and set my eyes on the highway in front of us. You need to put those thoughts out of your mind right now.
