~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

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   Chapter 33 The Shocking Realization!

    ~XANDER~If there was anything I hated in this life, it was torture. But seriously, what did I think would happen after my ass rejected her? Would things be so easy peasy? And that my heart wouldn't constrict at the sight of her? That was a big fat lie, I knew.What's more pathetic? The fact that I had to actually leave the confines of my room just so I could see her face, even knowing I was probably the last person she wanted to see right now.I'd heard when her door whined open and the footsteps of her and her friend echoed in the hallway. That was when I kicked myself into full gear. Without thinking, I shuffled towards the door, despite knowing I was shirtless.I was already out of the door and descending the stairs in the next minute. That's when I took notice of my bare chest. Damn…And just like I expected, the look on her face was haunted. But the consoling part was that she spared me a glance, despite how much of an asshole I was.Then her black rose of a friend had to swing

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   Chapter 32 A Gentleman.

    ~LUNA~I didn't know how Mia did it, or if this was part of what she was being taught in her department, but the next minute I was bouncing down the stairs with her trudging behind me, as if she was making sure I wouldn't disappear into my room if given the chance."Oh come on, stop walking as though that stomach of yours isn't growling." She said playfully, wrapping her hand playfully around my waist as we descended stair after stair.I threw her a playful glare. "Which part of your lecture did you practice on me?" I asked, mixing my glare with a quizzical gaze.I said I wouldn't go anywhere near that door. At least not today. Because despite what she said about mind over matter, I wasn't ready to face Xander, not today. Maybe tomorrow when everything would seem as though it was some nightmare.But Mia's coaxing and sweet talking worked like magic. It was as though she cast a spell on me or something of the sort."Let me guess, spell casting?" I added, humorlessly but the next minute

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   Chapter 31 Mind Over Matter.

    ~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

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   Chapter 30 Juicy Details...

    ~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

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   Chapter 29 Hopeless

    ~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

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   Chapter 28: Nursing Her Broken Heart.

    ~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

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   Chapter 13 Making Amends.

    ~XANDER~I didn't get much sleep last night. Not because I was up working my ass off, or had a business call that needed to be attended to. But because my mind couldn't rest. It kept taking me back to that scene outside the country club where she held me tightly as though I were her lifeline.For t

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   Chapter 12 Apologies...

    ~XANDER~With my gaze fixed on her receding figure, I gritted my teeth to the point I was sure it would crack, but it didn't. I wish it did, so I would have another pain that would distract me from the one that was gnawing at the pit of my stomach.I shouldn't have replied to her like that. But wou

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   Chapter 11 "I've Lost My Appetite..."

    ~LUNA~ I delayed downstairs, pretending to be invested in the channel playing on the television while in reality, I was waiting for Xander to be done with his brother so we could talk. He didn't mention the exact time frame for the talk we were supposed to have, but I wanted to know what was wro

  • 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire   10. No Distractions...

    ~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 t
