Mag-log inAfter catching her boyfriend banging her coursemate, Luna ends up in a club with her friend, in a bid to forget it all. There, she meets this dashing guy who she jumps on without hesitation and requests for wild sex. It was supposed to be a one-night stand— one hell of a one-night stand that gave her shivers, but what she wasn't expecting was to meet him again. Not as the one who helped her brother secure a business deal and the one in whose house she would be spending the next thirty days. His name is Xander Storm— a dashing billionaire and one of the most eligible bachelors in Bayview. The shock goes both ways because the two of them relished the one-night stand and acknowledged that it felt more than one— but weren't expecting to see each other again. What will these thirty days be like? Will they pretend it never happened, or will they give in to the growing feelings that gnawed at their hearts? What will Xander's growing feelings for Luna mean for his revenge against the death of his parents, and for his enemies?

"Yes! Eric! Yes! Harder, please!! Oh, God!..." The redhead's screams were still sounding loud in my head as though I was still there watching him slam into her. He had never been that wild with me. Always treating me like I was fragile and that any wild sex positions might break me. Even the music blasting from the stereo mounted at strategic places in the hotel's clubhouse couldn't drown their voices ringing on repeat in my head. Nor did the swaying of bodies on the dance floor shut out the events playing so vividly in front of me. This party was supposed to be a welcoming distraction— at least, that was what Mia told me as she dragged me out of her apartment this evening. How ironic that I went down to his apartment to surprise him with the meal I prepared for him since he said he wasn't feeling well. But I was surprised instead. Right there, on his bed, Eric was banging furiously into Sylvia, my coursemate and the bitch that I never saw eye to eye with. Awesome. Tears continued trailing a pathway down my cheeks as I recalled them all— the way she twisted and squirmed underneath him while he flipped her to whichever position he deemed fit. I could finally guess what he meant by wild. The sex positions as well... He had never tried them with me. I tasted the saltiness of my tears, a reminder of how stupid I was. My elder brother Michael had always warned me about him. He never trusted Eric's intention towards me. But I was blindly in love and saw no fault with him. Hissing, I drowned the remaining champagne in the flute and blindly reached for another on the table, but a feminine hand stopped me before my best friend Mia bounced on the couch beside me, her brows narrowed. "Really, Luna? You are going to sit here and drown in champagne all night?" She asked softly, her gaze boring into me. I eyed the champagne as though it was my lifeline before I let out a deep sigh. "I don't feel like dancing Mia," I muttered, as more tears poured out. I collapsed into fresh sobs on Mia's shoulders. "Luna..." She cooed softly, letting go of my hand and wrapping me in her arms. "You have to get that asshole out of your head. Don't worry, Sylvia will have me to contend with once school resumes." She said with a note of finality. But her threat did nothing to repair the heartache in my heart. "Instead of him telling me what he wanted, he decided to get it from Sylvia. Who the fuck says I can't have wild sex?" I continued my lamentations as a pool of tears framed my face, almost choking me. "Luna!" Mia called again, this time a little loudly. "Do you want to kill yourself because of this asshole?" She reprimanded. "In his words: You are too modest and non-thrilling in bed. Sex with you can never be fun. So, yeah, it's over between us." Those were his last words to me before he pushed me out. Can you imagine?" I continued sobbing, my breath coming out in pants as I hugged Mia tightly. I shut my eyes tightly, as if that would stop his animalistic voice from ringing in my head. Instead, more tears poured, and my body shuddered greatly. "Jesus! Luna! Get a hold of yourself! You are bigger than this." "I need something stronger!" I muttered, shrugging out of her hold. I needed to shut his goddamn voice from my head. "Of course not! I'm not letting you leave this —" I stood up sharply but ended up falling back against the couch. I was already tipsy, but I wanted more drinks. "Where the fuck do you think you are going?" She yelled when I took a step. Slowly, I turned to her. "There's a VIP bar in this hotel, right? That's where I am headed." My voice was already cracked and blotchy from too much crying. Mia raised her hands and let it fall beside her. "But you don't know the—" I waved her away. "I can find it." I took another step and turned, a new resolution surging through me. "And I am going to prove him wrong. I am going to have wild sex." With that, I spun around, leaving— her open-mouthed—staggering a few bits before walking out through the front door. Someone brushed past me as I stepped outside, causing me to lose my balance. I was already swaying towards the wall when masculine hands caught me and I fell directly into his rock-hard chest. Our gaze met swiftly and held. I blinked to steady my gaze, which was getting blurry, but I didn't know if it was a result of the effect of the champagne kicking in or his magnetic blue gaze. "Are you okay?" He asked, and my breath hitched. His voice was so deep that it reverberated through my chest. I gulped and blinked again, shrugging out of his hold. He let me. Then my gaze started wandering over his body. God! He was extremely tall. And his rocky chest that cradled me earlier was as broad as I imagined, paired with his extremely broad shoulders. When I finally looked up to meet his gaze, he was staring down at me expectantly, his blue eyes doing nothing to assuage my shuddery breath. "Hey, you okay?" He asked again. His gaze screamed patience and understanding. I opened my mouth to assure him that I was okay— even knowing I wasn't. "Direct me to the VIP lounge," I muttered instead, but as soon as the words rolled out of my lips, I decided against it at that moment, remembering my earlier resolve. I inched closer to him, standing directly underneath his chin. "Let's have wild sex?" His face registered immense shock— wide-eyed and jaw-slacked as he continued gazing at me. "You are drunk," he muttered. That deep voice again. I closed my eyes to digest its effect before opening them and shaking my head. "Tipsy, not drunk." I didn't give him room for further protest before I stood on my tiptoes and crashed my lips against his, my hand circling his neck and pulling him down. He stiffened against my hold, not making a move to reciprocate, But immediately my tongue grazed his lips, he tore them apart with a low growl and slid his tongue into my mouth, nibbling on my lower lip hungrily. My knees felt weaker with each kiss, and before I could stop myself, I jumped on top of him, straddling him as I whispered hotly against his lips. "Take me somewhere."~LUNA~Just like Mia had predicted, Ace's large frame filled the doorway, his smile bright and gaze tender. "Are you girls done shopping? I ordered takeouts for lunch except you're still—" "No. We're done." Mia butt in, scampering away from the bed immediately, just as I was about to tell Ace that I wasn't sure Mia was. "We're totally interested in the takeout. We'll join you downstairs in a few minutes." She replied gleefully as she stood beside me at the door.My hard gaze was fixed on her, wondering how on Earth she could be so free with someone she had met just a few hours ago. That wasn't me. But leave Mia to be as daring as she could get.But that wasn't the only reason for my hard gaze. The last thing I wanted right now was to leave the confines of this room and risk having a face-off with Alex.'God, Luna. Call him Xander like everyone else!' I chided myself before Ace's voice snapped me back to reality."Okay. I'll be waiting for you girls downstairs." I turned to see his g
~LUNA~"Nah-uh!" I shook my head vigorously, waving my palm at Mia in firm refusal. "No way in hell am I giving that a third thought. I can't afford another heartbreak." I added when her brows furrowed in confusion, her gaze narrowing at my last words."Another heartbreak?" She echoed. "Are we talking about the heartbreak that asshole Eric dished out, or was there another one I didn't know about?" I continued staring at her with a blank expression, but was fully aware that I inadvertently made her aware of my first issue with Alex. Unless her mind didn't register the first words—"Wait..." She held up her hand. "What do you mean by third thought?" Her lips parted in a knowing grin as she started tugging on my hand that was splayed on my lap. "Come on, Luna. Spill!" Great! Good luck thinking that she didn't pick up on my first words. Of course, she did. If not, she would cease to be Mia— my hyperactive best friend.Now, how do I start narrating that I was actually calling Alex out to
~XANDER~Immediately I stepped foot into the house, I went straight to my study, aiming to immerse myself in work. Instead of using the study in my room, I figured it was best I stayed downstairs, a little far from her.That way, I would be able to keep the raging animal inside of me that wanted nothing but to wrap my arms around her and whisper sweet things to her.The fact that I was even considering that scared me, even more than the awareness that the person who wiped my family from the surface of the Earth was still out there, and might be looking for me....if he hadn't already found me.Instead of heading to the desk as I intended, I made a beeline for my mini bar, desperate for some alcohol reinforcement.This evening was ending the way I'd hoped. We were just getting along after what happened last night. And now? We were back to square one.Square fucking one!!A frustrated growl tore through me as I grabbed the bourbon sitting pretty in the secluded part of my mini bar, jaw
~LUNA~It took several minutes but I was able to pull myself together. That was when it occurred to me that Mia had been waiting for me. Shot!"But she said she would be waiting at the front porch, right?" I asked rhetorically as I glanced around the spacious porch and gasped when I saw her huddled on one of the comfy cushions in a corner of the porch.She pressed her lips together as she held my gaze, sinking into the couch as though she wanted to disappear into it."Ace wanted to show me to your room, but I realized I didn't collect the key from you." She explained, batting her eyelids pleadingly. "Plus, I told you I would be waiting for you here so..." Her voice trailed off as she tilted her lips from side to side. Well, she knew I was about to murder her for being here all this time and not saying a word, while I poured out my heart in hopes that I was alone.But quite frankly, I had zero strength for that. On a perfect day, when my heart wasn't shredded to pieces and handed over
~XANDER~My ringtone blared in my ears just as I slipped into the passenger seat of Andy's car. We didn't waste time deciding to pay the bastard a visit immediately. I needed answers to the question that gnawed at the back of my mind for years. Why did he do it? Was it acting alone? If not, who se
~LUNA~I was in Mia's arms in the backseat throughout the ride home. Ace offered to drop us off at Alex's house, and I was genuinely grateful for that. He even helped convince Mia to just go with the clothes she had tried on and finish the shopping online.Heck, she didn't even need more convincing
~XANDER~For the first time in an insanely long time, I felt tears burning at the back of my eyes. That had bloody never happened, not since after I witnessed my parents' death. Emotions became a thing of the past to me— turned off and never to be resurrected again. But today, right in my parking
~LUNA~The heat that radiated off his body, as well as the warmth brought about by his big hands that were wrapped around my slender body, was so soothing that I totally lost myself.I leaned more into his embrace, wanting to soak up that warmth and heat if possible. I didn't realize how afraid I w
