All Chapters of 30 Days With My Dashing One-Night Stand Billionaire: Chapter 21 - Chapter 29

~LUNA~ I could feel Mia's gaze boring into me from the mall entrance to the department store where we would be checking out some clothes. Ace decided to stay at the mall entrance in case Eric decided to show up, which I doubt he would, because Alex had given him a run for his money. Speaking of running... I wish I could disappear into the clothing racks, better yet, let the ground open and swallow her whole, because Mia could be a pain in the ass. Once again, my gaze drifted off to the entrance where Ace stood, and to my shock, I found out that his gaze was fixed on me. Subtle, but the affection behind it couldn't be missed, or was I mistaken? A low whistle sounded beside me, prompting an eyeroll from me as I turned sharply to Mia. "What?" I asked with raised brows, my hands dramatically placed on my waist. She was standing at the rack behind me, sorting through tank tops and other tops, picking the ones she liked for fitting. With an eyeroll, she raised her previously

~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. At the sight of my disoriented state, and Ace filling her in on what happened, she had flown to my side and declared the rest of the shopping, an online shopping."Are you okay, sweetie?" Mia asked softly, stroking my hair, which was splayed on her shoulders. I nodded, wrapping my arms tightly around her body. It was warm. Although it wasn't the kind of warmth I needed, that would do for the time being.I wasn't okay. I was scared, but I didn't want to scare Mia further."Are you sure, Lu? We could get a restraining order against him. This isn't some empty threat, you know." I didn't say anything because I didn't want her to know that I was struggling not to cry. Michael foresaw all this

~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 was, and how much Eric's threat had affected me till I was latching onto Alex's body as though he held the keys to life itself.The way he wrapped his big hands around me indicated he was all fine with it, and the words he whispered into my ears."I got you, Dewdrop." It took me right back to the scene outside the country club when he swung in to save me from Eric's perverted hands.I wanted him to save me again. Every other day if possible. I wasn't ashamed of my desires. I needed him. We fit right together, like two pieces of a puzzle waiting to be fixed. But his words in the kitchen last night kept ringing in my ears. Plus, his dismissal.Perhaps, he didn't mean it. I wanted to attribute i

~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
