AURORA’S POV

“It’s time to act, Aurora,” I said to myself.

Then I swallowed down every anger and reservations that I was having before the call. It was difficult, but I ensured that I pushed them down my throat until they landed in my stomach.

“Now, I am good to go,” I added.

Then I squared my shoulders, walked up to where Arlo and the waiter stood waiting, and I snaked my fingers around Arlo’s.

“Hey honey, sorry for keeping you waiting,” I said sweetly.

Arlo looked at me with clear shock in his eyes, and from the corner of my eye, I could see that the staff was turning to look at us, so I acted really quickly.

I kissed Arlo, although briefly, but it was surely on the lips.

“It was Eudora, and you know that I can’t ignore her calls or she is going to ruin this time for us with incessant calls,” I added.

Arlo was still too dazed to say anything, but then he wasn’t looking like a ghost had just kissed him.

I turned to the staff and said, “Shall we, please?”

“Yes, ma’am,” he said, clear

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   Man Of The Hour

    ARLO’S POVHow on earth did this person come up with all these? The card was not in the package, or maybe I just wasn’t informed, but being that I have always been a sharp man who took initiative, I knew what to do without being told.“You are beautiful, my love,” I said as I reached out gently and touched Aurora’s hair.I gently pulled it away from her vision, and I ensured that I didn’t touch her skin. There was no skin contact. Holding her hand was the most I could go, and I only did it because I saw those people.Aurora couldn’t speak, or maybe she didn’t have any words to say.“Congratulations, man,” a man, tired of standing by and watching, walked up to us and said.Then he opened his palm for a handshake.I simply nodded and shook him, unable to utter the “thank you” word.Then everyone else surrounded us. What I noticed was that they weren’t locals. They were foreigners who came to have a good time at the love resort, which quite explains why they are not being reserved around

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   Heart On Fire

    AURORA’S POV“We should leave now.”I heard Arlo say gently and my eyes flew open. A second ago, I was carried away by deep lust, and when I closed my eyes, I had thought that he was going to kiss me, but he didn’t.Arlo’s nearness and the huskiness of his voice had sent my whole body reeling with arousal, and it took every ounce of self-control not to attempt to kiss him again.“Lead the way,” I managed to say.I was flushed.Embarrassed.Ashamed.This was the second time now that I was fooling myself around Arlo Bronson. Clearly, coming close to me and saying those sweet and reassuring words in a deep and husky voice was nothing to him, but it did a lot of tingling things to my entire body, especially in between my legs.As Arlo and I left the room, I could not stop thinking that he did that on purpose! It had to be on purpose, because he could have said those words right where he was standing, but he had to walk so close to me that I could feel his breath on my face as he spoke,

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   Strip Off Her Guard

    ARLO’S POV “Do you want to have a change of clothes?” I asked Aurora after we were done with breakfast.I had already taken the breakfast trolley out and returned.“Are you the one taking back the trolley? Shouldn’t there be a waitress for this?” Aurora had asked me.“I just want to make sure that my surprise is coming out well, and so I will just use the opportunity to return this,” I had responded.I did see the waitress and she assured me that everything was already set.“That fast?” I had asked her.“We run a fast service here, sir, and we are dedicated to ensuring that all our guests get the best love service they would ever desire,” she had explained. “The picnic has been set up in our love garden, sir. You definitely cannot miss it,” she had added.“Thank you for this,” I had told her.I rarely thanked anyone, because I always felt that whatever they were doing for me was needed. I had become so stiff and cold-hearted that gestures like that no longer fazed me. I have had to w

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   Speak, But Never Touch

    ARLO’S POV“Breakfast is here,” I cleared my throat and said.Seeing Aurora definitely made me honey. Did she not come with anything that would help my game of self-control or was this a deliberate attempt to make me lose it completely.Aurora didn’t respond, and it wasn’t until I looked at her that I realized that she was in shock and she was finding it difficult to mask it.“We should eat,” I said.If she was already finding it hard to say something, it meant that my self-control game was working. I could only imagine what her reaction would be when she sees the picnic and everything I set up.I drew out the chair for Aurora, but careful enough not to touch her even in the slightest way even though that was what I really wanted to do badly.Who would see Aurora Blaire and not want her?Maverick Casimir was a dickhead, but a small part of me understood why he was trying to get Aurora back, even though he was going about it the wrong way. I would cross the deepest ocean and climb the

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   My Game

    ARLO’S POVAfter I heard the shower go off, Aurora didn’t make any attempt to come out, and I guessed that she was clueless as to how to get her towel, knowing that I was still in the room.“Your game starts now, Arlo,” I told myself.Gently, I knocked at the door.“Don’t you dare open the door!” Aurora yelled from inside the bathroom.I smiled inwardly again, because that was all I knew how to do. We both know that she locked the door, as though at some point, she felt that I would try to get into the bathroom with her. This was another reason why I really needed to play this game. Regardless of the fact that this whole thing was fake, I wanted Aurora to leave with the right perception about me.And I would achieve it.There is nothing I have set my mind to do that I haven’t achieved it, and this will not be an exception.“I have no intentions of opening the door, Aurora,” I said calmly, not bothering to mention the fact that it was locked.I would not be able to get in unless I bro

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   First Time Feeling

    ARLO’S POVThere was something about Aurora Blaire, because right after she rushed into the bathroom, I smiled.Me, Arlo Bronson, crack a smile without struggling to. I could barely believe it!If anyone would have told me that a smile would ever come from my lips, I would never have believed it. I have no idea what it feels like to smile, because I cannot remember the last time I did. My growing up was filled with so many tears and turbulence that I forgot what it felt like to actually hold a smile.Now that Aurora has hurried into the bathroom, I had the feeling that she would take some time like the previous day, so I took the opportunity to quickly call Gideon.“Really?” Gideon asked, visibly exasperated. “If you are going to keep calling me every freaking second, then you might as well come back already, Arlo,” he stated.I was too overjoyed to even be upset with him.“I need you to handle something quickly for me,” I told Gideon.“What’s that?” Gideon asked, but before I could e
