It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 12: The Temptation of Squats
Serena P. O. V.What should I do now? Harry and Sarah invited me for an afternoon run in the park, and I foolishly agreed without a second thought. I went as far as buying a set of gym clothes to support my intention to have a healthy body. For the sake of Patrick Star's magic conch, I filled my closet with work clothes, casual clothes, and underwear. Sportswear never made the list because I don't like sweating. Except for sweating in bed with Leopold.Forget that! My dirty thoughts came back to haunt me. “I want to say the worst of the worst,” I said as I did some light movements in the running area. Harry, who was warming up, looked at me with one eyebrow raised. “Meaning?”“One thing I hate most is exercise,” I replied with a yawn. While Harry snorted, Sarah laughed. She raised both hands in anticipation. I returned to Sarah's high five and laughed together. “I only worked out for one meeting and then gave up. My body prefers to lie in bed,” Sarah giggled.I smiled widely, fe
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 13: Sugar Daddy
Serena P. O. VI haven't had much work experience. Before Pequira, I only worked for one company. Even then, it was more of a labor of love. Although I didn't have much to compare it to, I liked my job at this company a lot more.There are many things that make me feel at home in Leopold's company. Supportive and fun coworkers are some of them. My coworkers are young, energetic, and so fiery that they encourage me to give my best.The director and his staff were also very supportive. I'm putting aside the fact that Leopold has my heart, but he really is the type of leader I want to be. Despite his annoying face, he's a leader that anyone can feel at home working with. He challenges a lot, doesn't interfere often, and is always available if needed.From day to day, working with him makes his value in my eyes continue to grow. But, it also made me feel further away from the man I knew back in Monaco. I never found Leopold to be miserable while working with him. It was as if the Leopold
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 14: Don't Play with Fire
Serena P. O. V My steps stopped at the door of the coffee shop when I saw a figure that was very familiar to me. Even though he had his back to me, I immediately recognized who he was just from his back. This is proof of how much he has invaded my mind since I started working at Pequira. No, since I met him in Monaco. The usual Serena would have made a turn. But I'd had enough of Serena, the thinker. I liked the new version of myself. The impulsive Serena. Act first; think later. Now all I wanted to do was enter this coffee shop and approach him. “Morning, sir. I didn't expect to see you here.” I deliberately elbowed Leopold's arm lightly. Leopold gave me a quick glance, and his face turned sour, making it hard for me to hold back my laughter. “I stop by here every day to buy coffee; why haven't we met before?” I leaned against the counter to face him. And I deliberately made a beautiful pose so that the curves of the body he once complimented were clearly visible. And my lu
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 15: Being a Fake Girlfriend
Leopold P. O. VThe sound of a cat broke my reverie as I sat in my garden chair. I looked around, searching for the source of the sound. Not far away, toward the side terrace, I saw a cat.Serena's cat.Dickypuss.The cat came closer to me. What was he doing here? I didn't realize Serena lived so close to my house. In all my years in Santa Clara, I hadn't seen her once.This black, furry cat circled me. His nose sniffed at my shoes. Faintly, I heard footsteps. My body stiffens as I suspect the footsteps belong to Serena.Yesterday, I was out of control. Listening to Serena babbling and reminding me of what happened in Monaco made me unable to pretend. It's useless because, in the back of my mind, I still remember every second I spent with Serena clearly.That's why I continually try to be cool around Serena, so that my animal instincts don't take over. It was difficult because Serena was deliberately baiting me.I didn't know what game she was playing. I had no interest in getting inv
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 16: Annoying Ex-Wife
Leopold P. O. V “I'm in the lobby of your office. Can we meet for lunch together?” This was the first time that a text message could make me feel helpless. I had even forgotten the last time Amanda left me a message. Until this afternoon, when suddenly there was a new message from her. “So, where to eat?” I looked away from my phone and looked at Raymond, who was waiting for me. “Amanda asked me to lunch. You're with Sarah.” Raymond looked at me with a furrowed brow. “Amanda? You're back with her?” I shuddered at the thought of that possibility turning into reality. I wasn't that stupid to restart a relationship with a demon in the form of a beautiful woman. Not after she betrayed my trust. “Never,” I said firmly. Raymond had had enough of listening to me complain about Amanda. He was one of the few people who witnessed my relationship with Amanda. He was even a witness when I got acquainted with my ex-wife. I met Amanda at the party of one investor in my company. She's stu
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 17: That Jerk Jason
Serena P. O. V Running at night after work has become part of my routine with Sarah and Harry. Although only Harry really ran, Sarah and I just walked while gossiping. Later, I could smell another reason behind Sarah's invitation to run. On the same day, Mr. Raymond and Leopold were doing their weekly gym schedule. I guess I should have warned Sarah about the no dating rule in the office because I caught her alone with Mr. Raymond more and more often. It sounds hypocritical because I'm indirectly hooking up with Leopold too. It was just an act. And it was often one-sided, only from Leopold's side. I haven't found the right fee for the charade yet. “I'll be right there.” Sarah darted away from me. She ran up to Mr. Raymond, who was just coming out of the gym. Casually, Sarah wrapped her arms around Mr. Raymond's neck, and he wrapped his arms around her waist. I even saw Leopold showing an annoyed expression, to which Mr. Raymond replied with an equally annoyed reaction. Does he k
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 18: Gym Sensation
Serena P. O. V After the kiss that night, it was only now that I met Leopold again. The past two days, he has been to Paris for a conference. It seemed like I was the only one affected by the kiss. Leopold was the opposite. That night, I couldn't sleep. I regretted not inviting Leopold over to my house. If I could turn back time, I would have offered to have him spend the night in my room with me. So I could repeat that passionate night in Monaco. It was all my fault. It riddled me with doubt and unsure of what I was seeing. I interpreted Leopold's gaze to mean that he wanted me, but something was holding him back. Instead, I wasted time hesitating. In the end, I ended up frustrating myself. That moment would never occur again. I should have made good use of it. “Deal. We'll use the Sunrise Tour. Their quotation makes more sense for the price. The reviews are excellent, too.” Leopold's words brought me back to the present, to the center of the meeting room. I'm reminded that I'
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 19. Yes, Sir!
Serena P. O. VLeopold pressed the back of my head. I could feel his large palm holding my nape from moving and returning his kiss.I buried my fingers in his hair. My eyes were closed, enjoying Leopold's kiss. He plays with my lips, not giving me the slightest chance of escaping. His kiss is so dominating, there is no tenderness behind it, only the unstoppable demands of lust. His arms wrapped around me and buried me deep.If anyone asked me what my name was, I didn't know the answer. Leopold's figure fills my mind as he carries me into his warm embrace.I gasped when I felt Leopold's hand move to my back. He pulled me closer to his body. The heat overwhelmed me, making my desire even more intense. “Sir…”“Psttt… let me kiss your body, Serena.” Leopold growled lowly. His lips brushed the skin of my cheek, and then he kissed it for a long time.I gasped again when Leopold slipped his hand inside my clothes. The heat burned my body even more. And when I felt his large hands cup my br
