LOGIN~XANDER~A sardonic smile graced my lips after Andy dropped the bomb about who killed my parents. To be honest, I was a little surprised that they did, because finding a killer who wasn't famous in a town like Bayview was like looking for a needle in a haystack."I could still remember the face of the man who pulled the trigger on my parents..." I muttered in a lethally soft voice, soft but murderous. My jaw clenched as the image flashed through my head. Over the years, I had toughened up to the extent that I no longer feel the urge to cry whenever I remember the bloody incident."Every distinct feature..." I continued in that same lethally soft voice, unconsciously rubbing my palm against the other. Yeah, I could still remember the cold, dark eyes that flashed around, probably in search of me. I had hidden in the wardrobe, according to my dad's instructions. I only managed to escape him when he went upstairs to search for me, after pulling the trigger on both of themIn the pool of
~LUNA~"I don't think you need any other fuck if that's the case." My eyes fluttered open at her words, my cheeks still burning with embarrassment. She was stifling a chuckle while scooping a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, eyeing me mockingly.I resisted the urge to push her off that stool and rolled my eyes instead."Whatever." I bet my cheeks were flushed as I slid several scoops into my mouth."So you had sex with a stranger?" Mia continued tauntingly, and my facial features took a redder turn. I rolled my eyes. "He's no longer a stranger to me."Mia's eyes glinted with interest as she leaned closer, brushing my shoulders."Oh yeah! Are you guys dating now?"The image of how he held me last night at the country club flashed through my head. The feel of his strong hands against my body and the warmth his body seared through me. A shudder shot down my spine, causing my clit to clench. Damn!"Someone's blushing!" Mia's outburst dragged me out of my thoughts, causing me to fli
~XANDER~By the time my butt finally hit my office chair after chairing a series of meetings, I was more than ready to pass out. What's worse, the noodles dewdrop prepared for breakfast was long gone, leaving me pining for another plate of that delicious noodles. Gosh! I had managed to keep the thoughts of her at bay from the time I left the house till I got to the office and the meeting commenced. But now, they were back.Her effortless smile... The dewy, pale green eyes that seemed to light up whenever she stared at me. I mentally shook my head at myself. God! I was supposed to be shoving thoughts of that to the back seat.There was nothing much for me to do here other than lounge around and have a nice view of Malibu city through my floor-to-ceiling window. Plus, helplessly indulging in thoughts of her. I needed a diversion. Work wouldn't cut it. A small smile graced my lips when the possible diversion hit me. I sprang to my feet without hesitation, snagged my phone from the tabl
~LUNA~"You are not sharing this ice cream with me," Mia chanted for the thousand and one time since she got here and saw the big plate of ice cream. A soft laugh escaped my lips as I regarded her. It hadn't been long since she catwalked her way into this bar, and she was already fussing over ice cream."The ice cream which I bought with my own money, or? Plus, the ice cream came with two spoons, duh?" I waved my own spoon at her. Even though I specifically asked the bartender to get me two spoons so we could lick them together, I also knew that it would be almost impossible for Mia to agree to share. Not after she insisted I kept her worried sick after I went for my wild sexcapades.Mia shrugged, grabbing hold of the big plate from the counter where I had laid it and lifted it above her head. Her action elicited a soft laugh from my lips. I was careful not to explode into a loud laugh this time. I didn't need another episode of the creepy stares. Duh!"Are you what? Twelve?" I aske
~LUNA~Eating with him was so blissful. I couldn't help the hopeful smile that graced my lips on the ride to the mall downtown, where Mia said we would be meeting. Things weren't so awkward anymore. He was finally smiling at me, unlike last night when he was all cold and a little mean.Heck, he even complimented my cooking.The groaning that left his lips as soon as the noodles were in his mouth still tingled through my system. Ace's compliment had felt good, but not the way his did. It felt as though I was in a test, and his groan of delight showed that I had passed.A deep breath escaped my lips. I was trying not to admit that the groaning didn't take me right back to that night. But it did, hence the tingling sensation."Really, Luna?"I was freed of the feelings for a cheating psychopathic boyfriend, only to be chained to another whom I had a one-night stand with. How classic.The only difference was, Alex was nothing like Eric. His calm and composed personality radiated for every
~XANDER~Having breakfast before leaving for work...It had been a long time since I tried that. Let's just say from the time my company picked up pace. I'd usually buy takeout on my way to work if I were hungry or during lunch hour. But the realization that she was thoughtful enough to make me breakfast—even though it wasn't just me she made it for—tugged at my heartstrings.I had never eaten any food prepared by any lady I had anything to do with. Then why did I agree to sit tight while she dished out the food? The answer was simple, because she was slowly becoming more than just the girl I had something with. That should scare me and drive me into running off. But here I was, watching her set the plate down with hands that seemed like they knew what they were doing, and a smile that stirred something deep within my soul. She was trouble. The fact that my body was reacting to her in that manner made her dangerous."Very dangerous," my thoughts screamed, but I sat right, even angr
