hookup
One-night stand, slang
A hookup is a casual sexual encounter, usually without expectation of a relationship: It was just a hookup.
The term also means a connection or arrangement—an electrical hookup, a cable hookup, or an informal deal: He got us a hookup on concert tickets.
To hook up is to connect, meet, or have such an encounter: We hooked up at a party last summer.
