~XANDER~

With Andy taking me towards the direction of the study, I knew what he wanted to talk about was serious. And it was something he didn't want any ear to hear. The door of my study was soundproof, so anything done or said there never got out.

We entered, with me trailing behind him. I shut the door immediately I got in and made straight for my mini-bar. I had a mini-bar both in my room and in my study. There were times I would be neck deep with work that I wouldn't want to step outside. So, if I needed liquid courage I didn't need to go far to get it.

Well, that was a few months back when I still spent time here, and not in my private condominium. But I figured things would change from now on.

Speaking of change, Ace had never openly argued with me, playfully or not. But what he did back there... Being so defensive and overprotective... Coupled with his comment at the office earlier today about his guest being special. It was all starting to make sense.

Still mulling over that

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   9. The Squabble.

    ~LUNA~I could tell he was angry. It was obvious from the way he abandoned us at the parking lot and stalked off. He didn't need to talk much, I could see it in the widening of his broad shoulders and the rigidity of his gait. But what I couldn't fathom was why.Still trying to wrap my head around what could possibly be wrong, I stepped out of the car, standing by the side as Ace proceeded to get the key from the keyhole. He was fine before we left the country club, but something shifted during our ride home. I wasn't sure then, because the only outstanding event was him almost getting us killed by slamming on the brakes all of a sudden. My brows furrowed in thought. Now that I thought about it, that action of his depicted anger. But there was still no hint of why he would be angry. I remembered his stare through the rearview mirror when he apologized about it. Nothing in his gaze screamed anger. But his blue eyes had lost their sparks— or was it because I wasn't staring at him dir

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   8. Hella Jealous.

    ~XANDER~The steering wheel bore the brunt of the anger and frustration swirling a graceful circle inside of me. I had decided to take the wheel so I would distract myself from the sexual heat that surged through my system as a result of my proximity to her earlier.But I didn't know that I was signing up for her and Ace to be hurdled up in a corner in the backseat, him whispering what I couldn't make out to her. My knuckles were turning white but I cared less. I had to alternate my gaze between the road and the rearview mirror. God! Xander. This couldn't possibly be jealousy, was it?Ever since I broke the news about that bastard almost raping her, Ace had gone all overprotective, even insisting that we leave early. I should have known that he wouldn't join me in the front seat, but instead perched beside Luna back there.When I averted my gaze from the road, fixing it back on the rearview, I almost pumped my fist against the steering. He wrapped his hand around her, leaning down as

    ~LUNA~It felt awesomely blissful to be in his arms again, to be saved by him. And most of all, to be referred to as his. Did he really mean that? Or he said to wade Eric off?His big hands wrapped around me were soothing, making me feel protected, and I honestly wish we could stay that way forever if possible. Wishful thinking. As magnetic as his statuesque frame was, we should be heading back inside. So I reluctantly stepped back, sighing in disappointment when his hands fell away from my back, the warmth disappearing along with it. Except for the heat radiating off him.My hands came in contact with a wet spot on his chest, and I bit my lower lip, staring up at him."I have ruined your shirt." My hands were still molded to his chest, almost giving in to the temptation of trailing my fingers against the rock-hard edges of it."It's fine." His voice was rough around the edges, causing a tingling feeling to settle deep in my stomach, reminding me of his naughty words while pumping in

    ~XANDER~All through the ride here and now sipping the champagne one of the female servers served us, I couldn't help but ask myself what the hell I was doing. The plan was to have a plate of ice cream to diffuse the heat a bit before I would take a quick dive into the bathroom to assuage the remnants with a cold bath. But here I was, sipping from the champagne flute, inside a country club I never in my wildest dreams imagined finding myself in tonight.Never had a woman had such control over me, making me change my plans overnight just by batting her eyelids and offering me a plate of ice cream. I had never given any of them that control.Just...who was this Luna that had slipped past my defense so easily, and even without my knowing?"Alexander!" The sharp calling of my name dragged me out of my thoughts. I turned immediately to face Ace. I might be a little popular—judging from a few people who were constantly waving and smiling at me from the minute we entered here— it was only A

    ~LUNA~"You are right on time, Xander. I was actually coming to tell Luna that I wanted to take her out for an evening air. Help her relax. You can join us." My gaze reflexively tore away from him to stare at Ace."We are?" So many surprises were buzzing through my head, all in a space of a few seconds. I just found out that I slept with my brother's benefactor. And he was actually the owner of the house and not Ace.Although Ace didn't explicitly mention that he was the one who owned the house. I could even remember his words at the airport."Let's get you home dear," he had said with a smile. I shrugged it off. Maybe this was like a home to him.Ace nodded, smiling at me. "Yes, sweetie. We are. And don't mind the master of the house. He might seem gruff on the outside, but he's actually sweet on the inside." My ears were blessed with a deep growl from him, taking me right back to the moment he was pumping into me so fast but passionately. Goosebumps broke through my body."Watch it
