[LANA]

In what had been the boldest, and most vulnerable move of her life, Lana stood before Xyrus, offering herself as she never had before. She was certain that she wanted to move forward with him, tired of playing games and delaying the pleasure she so desperately wanted.

When his eyes fell on her, she knew she had not over-estimated his desire, and she waited on tempered passion as he stormed across the room, taking her mouth with his own.

Xyrus was unforgiving in his kiss, roughly controlling her, as he walked forward, forcing her to follow his lead until the back of her legs bumped into his bed. Slowly, he laid her onto the bed with a gentle guidance until her head rested against the plush comforter.

His entire bedroom was barely decorated with dark contrasts of color creating a dark and intimate vibe. Xyrus's bedroom felt like a private haven, and she knew it was reserved for him as an exclusive room in his house. She did not take it lightly that he had invited

    The sun peeking through the curtains woke Xyrus as he wondered how long he'd overslept. It wasn't like him to sleep in, and when he glanced down to see Lana's small body curled against his own, it all came rushing back. He still couldn't believe their night together, and feeling Lana beside him caused him to relive it all again. She was everything he imagined and now, sleeping beside him, she was even more beautiful than before. Her makeup was smudged, and he felt himself lengthen remembering the tears in her eyes as he pumped her to ecstasy. Rolling out of the bed, he was careful not to wake Lana. He didn't want to be overzealous, already feeling the addiction grow deep in his bones. He wanted her. Again and again. He needed her, and knew that if he didn't put some space between them, they may never get out of bed. After watching her sleep for longer than expected, Xyrus tiptoed out of the room, making his way to the kitchen as she slept alone in his room. It was a

    Her phone vibrated on the small table beside the bathtub and Lana reached around to answer."Hello?" "I need your address, sweetheart," his voice felt warm across the phone. Her body reacted to just his voice, curving in the bath as she spoke the digits without hesitation."Six-six-seven," she called out before telling him she would call after her bath."Next time, you're taking one with me," he teased, and Lana thought how much she would love to take a bath with Xyrus. Soaking in her deep bath, she tried to make sense of her life after everything had seemed to flip upside down in the matter of two days. Xyrus had swept her off her feet, dropping her back at her apartment with just enough time to be whisked off her feet once again. It was fabulous and unbelievable all at the same time. Glancing at the clock resting on the wall of her bathroom, she decided it was time to get out of the tub. Tina had agreed to help her with her hair and make-up and would be arriving soon.

    “This is beautiful,” Lana Reign gasped, as we entered the dining area. “I just can’t believe I'm here. Not to mention that I’m on your arm,” she shook her head in disbelief, and Xy pulled her in close, smiling at her modesty. She had no idea that she was the star of the night and it tickled Xy to no avail. “Mr. Ashington, you’re over here,” a young brunette pointed to a table where he saw Akira nd Wind chatting away.Although they were only a few feet away, neither of Xyrus’s good friends took notice of him, lost instead in their own conversation. He smiled watching them, knowing how much each of his friends deserved someone special.With Lana on his arm, it felt like everyone had gotten the partner they needed, and he led Lana to the table, excited to introduce her to his friends. When they arrived, Akira finally looked up, jumping to her feet as she rushed to meet Lana. “I cannot tell you how excited I am to meet you. I have been pestering Xy all day to make sure you were com

    “Did you see him out there? He’s so hot!” A woman’s voice shrieked from the sinks. Lana Reign was still in the stall when she caught the tail end of the conversation.“You know he donated everything, right? He’s like a billionaire!” Another woman chimed in as Lana readied herself to leave the stall.“He’s with some model in a purple gown,” the first woman answered, as they both turned to see Lana stumbling out of the stall as she realized they were talking about her.“I’m sorry. We didn’t know you were in there,” the woman rushed to explain, but she wasn’t offended at all.“It’s okay. I’m not a model though,” she corrected the girl as she washed her hands.“You sure do look like it,” the other added, and they all three laughed together.She had never found it difficult to make friends, and there in the bathroom of a charity event she had created what she thought could become a friendship, after meeting two women gossiping about her date.The interaction made her wonder what Xy was to

  • The Runaway Girl and The Billionaire   Goodbye, Xyrus

    Hearing her name belted out in such an elegant setting stopped Lana in her tracks. Danny's voice bellowed so loudly that everyone turned around, curious as to who could be so absurd. Dressed in the world’s most expensive designer labels, the who’s who of Taguig City were not used to the behavior they were being forced to witness. Humiliated, Lana stopped, feeling as though everyone in the conference hall knew it was her the crazy man was after. She could feel herself shrinking as Dan stormed across the room. He seemed larger than she remembered, his broad shoulders pushed back with the arrogant confidence that comes with power. After leaving Xyrus to go to the bathroom, she was almost certain she had made up the sighting, thinking her paranoia was getting the best of her again. It wasn’t uncommon for her to think she saw Danny when she was out, but it had rarely actually been him. Mostly, he sent his security staff to do his dirty work, and Lana would run before the

    “What the hell was that?” Wind asked, turning towards the exit of the gala. His charity event was going perfectly until that man had barged into the party screaming from across the room. Thankfully, Wind's awesome staff had quickly diverted the guests from the outburst by kicking up the bass from the band. The party had moved so swiftly, hardly anyone in the conference room was thinking about the brief chaotic moment by now. “I don’t know—” Xyrus answered, his words fading as he watched the front doors, waiting for some sort of explanation.“She knew who he was,” Akira noted, her face twisted quizzically, like she was trying to figure out a puzzle. Xyrus paused, watching the wheels turn in the minds of his two oldest friend, as they tried to help him make sense of the night. Akira had been as excited as he was when he’d decided to bring Lana to the charity event. And after Xyrus had played the matchmaker, getting Akira and Wind together after years of harmless flirting,

    With the left side of her body pressed against the car door, Lana fought for as much space as she could find in the backseat of the taxi. Thankfully, Danny had been able to hail a driver pretty quickly, adding a quick ending to the worst night of her life.It was surreal, watching the city she had grown to love fading by as Danny hurled profanities in her direction. In the darkness, B.G.C looked gloomier than usual, and Lana wondered to herself if it was a sign. Could she have been wrong in thinking this city was for her?Just when she began to doubt herself, the concern in Xyrus's green eyes burned into the forefront of her memory. When Danny led her out of the charity event, squeezing her arm in a way that was sure to leave a bruise, she glanced back to see Xy standing like a statue, watching with a fiery gaze.It was a new emotion she hadn’t seen him wear, but it was enough to help her remember that something strong was growing between them. Leaving with Dan was the best way f

    Still in shock, Xyrus stood on the stairs of the hotel for much longer than he anticipated. When an older man disrupted his thoughts by asking for the time, he decided to return to the event.As Xy walked through the front doors, Wind excitedly walked towards him with the look of a man who needed a favor. Knowing it was time to put on a brave face, Xyrus straightened his shoulders and took a deep breath just before Wind arrived with a graying woman beside him.“Mr. Ashington, it’s so nice to finally meet you,” she introduced herself, stepping in front of Wind to extend her hand to Xyrus.“The pleasure is all mine,” Xyrus took her hand into both of his.“Samantha Hughes,” she said, before Xyrus could ask her name. She was a sassy gal, and the men shared a smile thinking of how hot she must have been in her day.“I’m very glad we got to meet,” he added.“I asked Wind here if you would be at the event tonight and he promised to introduce us,” she explained, turning the spotlight on

    Lana felt his warm body next to her and smiled. His heavy leg was draped across hers as he softly breathed in and out, his long eyelashes resting against his face as he slept. She stared at him for a while, admiring his handsomeness. The jaw stubble was already making an appearance on his face, giving him the rough, sexy look that she adored. He had made it a habit not to shave on the weekends, which she thoroughly appreciated. Living with him had taken a little getting used to, but now she could never imagine her life any other way. When Xyrus had asked her to move in, she had been hesitant at first. She was worried they were rushing into things. It seemed like it was too soon, but then after thinking about it and talking it over with Tina, she realized there was no hard and fast rule about when it was the right time. She felt it and he felt it and that was all that mattered. They’d been living together for a month and every day when she woke up, she got to see him. That was the bes

    They were able getting to double date with Wind and Akira. His friends were supposed to be going to some charity event, but Wind had bailed at the last minute, more interested in a night out as a foursome than sitting in some stuffy ballroom wearing a tux. Since they’d had so much fun at the bar the last time they all went out, they had all voted to go back again.Akira and Xyrus returned from their bathroom visit and sat down at the table. Xyrus loved that they were becoming friends. They were very different in many ways, but they were part of his circle. They helped balance him, each of his close-knit group of friends bringing a little something different to the table.“Ahhh!” Lana screamed, throwing her hands into the air when the first few twangs on the guitar filled the bar.“What’s wrong?” Xyrus asked, looking around the crowded room.“I love this song!” she screamed, acting like a teenager at a rock concert, swaying her arms back and forth, her loose hair hanging down her back

    Danny was walking straight for her, a murderous look in his eyes. If she was smart, she would run. She didn’t run. Instead, she threw her shoulders back and defiantly stared back at him. She wasn’t going to back down, not when she had made so much progress to shut him down. Xyrus was beside her in a flash, his arm around her shoulders, facing off against Danny right alongside her.Laura and a few of the other attorneys were standing nearby. The tension in the room was palpable. Danny’s anger was practically radiating off of him as they faced off in the hall. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she realized she might get hurt. Danny might get a punch in before Xyrus could stop him. She had accepted the risk and was willing to take a hit if it meant there would be witnesses that could finally back up her story. Danny would be held accountable for his actions—finally.“If you ever call me, call my job, show up at my place or show your face in my presence ever again, I will destroy you,” s

    She looked happy. That was a good sign. He waited, not moving as she threw open the glass door and strolled towards him. She was looking at him, that sexy gleam in her eyes. It had gone well. She walked right up to him and kissed him.“Hey sweetheart,” he whispered.“Hi,” she said, turning to stand beside him, his arm snaked around her and held her close to him as he watched Danny stomp out of the conference room.“Why don’t we all move back into the conference room,” Laura suggested, looking at Danny and the other lawyers.Xyrus made a move to head into the conference room. “Are you going back in?” he whispered into Lana’s ear.“Actually, I don’t think we need you,” Laura said, looking at Lana and smiling.Lana shook her head. “Nope, I don’t think you do.”“I thought this was a settlement meeting. I’m in no mood for games. We did not fly up here for another wasted meeting. Your client will be paying for all of this,” Danny’s attorney started to say.“I’ll be in, give me a minute

    Her palms were sweaty, and her stomach felt like it was filled with a million butterflies as she did her best to control her nerves. She couldn’t let Danny know he had her on edge. Her plan hinged on her being the one in control. It was important to turn the tables on him, let him know she was not afraid and would not run anymore. She glanced behind her, looking out the windows of the conference room to see Xyrus and Laura talking. They were conspiring to separate Danny from his lawyers. She couldn’t present her evidence if there were attorneys in the room. That would ruin the upper hand she wanted to hold onto for as long as possible. Her plan hinged on only her knowing about Danny’s illegal activities. Lana closed her eyes, inhaled and tried to relax. When she moved her hands away from the smooth table, she noticed palm prints left behind. She wiped her hands on the pantsuit she was wearing and prayed Danny showed up soon before she lost her nerve. She heard voices and turned t

    He closed the laptop and powered down his office computer before standing up, righting his suit and grabbing his wallet from his desk drawer. It was a good day. The week was off to a great start and he had finally caught up on all the work that had been piling up since the day Lana had disappeared. It had been a little embarrassing to realize how badly he had let things slide as he focused all his time and energy on finding Lana. Now that she was back and determined to stay, he was able to focus on his company. He was already planning on extravagant gifts to be delivered to his management team that had picked up the slack. He had a whole new lease on life and had a little extra spunk as he looked forward to what he hoped was a very promising future with Lana.“I’m headed out,” he said, stopping at Akira’s desk.“Tell Wind I said hi,” she said with a smile.Xyrus chuckled. “I will. Thank you for letting me borrow him.”She giggled. “I can share him. Just don’t forget he’s mine after f

    It felt good to wake up in her own bed, in her own place. Although it was nice to wake up with Xyrus, she had been longing for her bedroom and all the little things she had left behind. When she had been on the run, she had nothing special with her. She had picked up nothing and taken nothing. That had all changed in Taguig. She had enjoyed little shopping sprees at the secondhand stores picking up cool little things that helped her personalize her home. When she’d left, everything had stayed behind. She opened her eyes and rolled to her side, grabbing her phone off her bedside table and finding a text from Xyrus. He was always so thoughtful, wishing her a good morning and a good night every day when they weren’t together. She had missed him when she was gone; far more than she had even thought she would. Her next order of business was to grovel at Tina’s feet and beg for forgiveness. She’d been completely horrible as a friend and she wanted to make it up to one of the only friends

    Somewhere deep inside, he was holding his breath. It wasn’t a literal holding of his breath, but more of his brain waiting to hear what she had to say. He knew what he wanted her to say and was sure after their warm welcome it was the most obvious thing to say, but he didn’t know for sure.She was looking at him, but not talking.“What is it sweetheart?” he asked, gently swiping her mussed hair from her face.She looked hot and sexy and better than any magazine centerfold he had ever seen. Her cheeks were flushed, her lips red and swollen from the intense kissing and her hair looked as if she had been standing inside a tornado. She took sexy seductress to an entirely new level.“I’m sorry I left without saying a word. I should have told you,” she started, and he felt his heart sink. It wasn’t what he thought it would be and definitely not what he wanted to hear.“It’s okay, I understand you were doing what you thought you had to. I need you to know I am here for you. Please don’t run

    Her body was sliding down the wall, she couldn’t stand up another second after the orgasm had rocked her to her very core. He stood, wrapping his arms around her and holding her against him while her legs slowly became a little steadier.She looked up at him and felt so much for this man who had a way of stripping her down to her rawest self in every way, while handling her so tenderly. She knew he would never hurt her and she wanted him to know how much she cared for him. Leaving him had been a horrible thing to do. Making it up to him was her new mission. She wanted to show him how much she wanted him in her life.“My turn,” she said, her voice thick with desire.“Let’s go in my room,” he said, kissing the side of her neck.She shook her head. “Not yet.”In a flash, she dropped to her knees on the cold marble floor, yanking his sweats down his body. His thick erection was directly in her face, sending spirals of heat through her body. She thought about how good it felt when he put h
