Masuk“Excuse po saglit, Mrs. Vega,” nakangiting sabi ni Zsa-Zsa bago ako tuluyang hinigit palabas. “No problem, hija.” Ngumiti rin naman pabalik si Tita bago nakihalubilo sa mga nandun. Sinundan ko pa siya ng tingin. Ano pang tungkol sa amin ni Santi ang ipagsasabi niya roon? “Magpaliwanag ka sa index ngayon din, Bianca,” pabulong ngunit mariing asik ni Zsa-Zsa nang makarating kami sa bakanteng corridor malapit sa mga guest restroom. Nawala ang pagiging tipsy niya. “Ano 'yong narinig ko kay Mrs. Vega? Buntis ka?” “Zsa-Zsa, dahan-dahan naman ang boses mo,” agap ko, pilit na sumisilip sa magkabilang dulo ng hallway habang inaayos ang laylayan ng t-shirt ko. “Hindi ako buntis, okay? It's not... true.” Zsa-Zsa froze while she scanned my face, looking for any sign of a lie. “Are you sure? Pero bakit ka tumango kay Mrs. Vega kanina?” “Kasi nag-assume siya!” pabulong kong isinigaw, hinila ko siya nang mas malapit sa pader. “Nalaman niya kasi na na-hospital ako noong nakaraang linggo.
"I love you too, baby," he murmured. His voice was incredibly low, husky, and thick with emotion. He leaned in to press a lingering kiss on the tip of my nose. "I love you so much, Ylondra."Napakagat ako sa labi ko, biglang naramdaman ang matinding init sa aking mga pisngi nang maalala ang mismong isinigaw ko sa kaniya habang nawawala na ako sa katinuan. "I didn’t know you hear...""Of course, I did. Every single word," he chuckled softly as he shifted to face me fully. "It's the best thing I've ever heard inside this car.""Santi, naman..." pabulong kong asik, sabay tago ng mukha ko sa leeg niya para maitago ang pamumula ko."Hey, look at me. There is nothing to be ashamed of," he countered gently, using his thumb to lift my chin until our eyes locked. "You completely ruined me back here, Bianca. Look at what you did to me."Ang kapal ng mukha! Ako pa talaga ang sinisi…"Kasalanan mo rin naman," I gasped out. "Kung hindi mo hinila 'yong bikini—""I had to. I couldn't breathe watchin
Sa simula, binalot ako ng matinding kaba dahil baka may makapansin samin!"Santi, sandali... baka may makakita..." bulong ko habang pilit hinahanap ang natitirang katinuan ko dahil patuloy ang paghaplos niya sa dibdib ko. Oo, tinted ang mga bintana ng SUV, pero kung gagawin namin ang iniisip niya rito, aalog ang buong sasakyan!"Baby… they know better than to look back here," Santiago rasped.His hands were sliding ruthlessly up from my waist to the bare skin under my shirt. Nang maramdaman ng palad ang manipis na tela ng itim na string bikini parang pati pasensiya na napigtas. He groaned then started pulling its string."Do you have any idea what it felt like watching you move in this all morning?" he murmured against my lips as his thumb pressed firmly into my hip, mounting the friction between us. "Knowing everyone was looking at you?""Trabaho 'yon, Santi... h-huwag mo akong asarin ngayon," I gasped, but my body was already betraying me, arching closer to his chest."I'm not teasi
Nang matapos ang buong glam change, tinanggal ko na ang robe. The mood board was displayed on the screen: Dark, Captive, and Seductive.I stepped into the middle of the sugarcane field set layout. The photographer adjusted his settings, looking up at me with newfound excitement.“Perfect, Bianca! Now, for this layout, I want you to give me vulnerability, but with a sense of ownership. Think of someone you love completely holding you down, but you’re completely safe with it. Can you give me that?”I swallowed hard, the image of Santiago’s dark gaze from this morning burning vividly in my mind. Ownership. Completely safe.“Yes,” bulong ko, lalong humigpit ang hawak ko sa manipis na dulo ng tali ng bikini ko bago tumingin nang diretso sa lente ng camera. “I can do that.”Every click of the shutter captured the raw, uncensored heat in my eyes. I leaned into the restriction of the pose, arching my back slightly just like how I did when his weight was pinning me down into the mattress.“Bri
Hiyawan at sunod-sunod na tunog ng shutter ng camera ang pumuno sa buong umaga ko.“Beautiful! Hold that position, Bianca! Give me more… more dominance!” sigaw ng photographer habang patuloy ang nakakasilaw na flash ng mga ilaw.I shifted my weight effortlessly, tilting my chin up and letting my gaze turn cold, piercing straight into the camera lens. I was wearing a sleek, metallic emerald green bikini paired with nothing but an oversized, sheer silk cover-up that drifted off my shoulders and a diamond choker around my neck.More dominance… naisip ko bigla ang madilim at nag-uutos na boses ni Santiago kaninang umaga sa kama. A small, involuntary shiver ran down my spine, but I channeled that sudden rush of heat into my eyes, staring down the camera lens with a fierce intensity.“Perfect! That’s a wrap for the first layout!” the director shouted through the megaphone.The entire crew erupted into applause. Spreading my shoulders, I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. Lumap
It was only 3 a.m. when my alarm buzzed. Agad ko iyong pinatay saka tumihaya. Nilingon ko ang bras oni Santiago na pirming nakapatong sa tiyan. Pinagsawa ko saglit ang mata sa mukha niya. He was just like a comforted child when asleep.Napangiti ako nang biglang kumunot ang noo niya. Ang sungit kahit sa panaginip…Inangat ko ang kamay para haplusin ang pagitan ng kilay niya. Agad na Nawala ang pagkakunot noon. Ayan… mas pogi ka ng ganyan.I was just like that for almost five minutes when my phone beeped. Si Zsazsa iyon, nagtanong kung gising na ako. The team was already setting up for my hair and makeup. Gumalaw ako para sana makabangon na pero humigpit ang kapit ni Santi sa bewang ko.“I need to work…” bulong ko na para bang maririnig niya iyon kahit mahimbing ang tulog niya. I even slightly kissed his cheeks.“Hmm…” ungol niya saka pupungas na nagmulat. “You’re awake.”I smiled and nodded. “Maaga ang call time. Sleep some more,” I rasped.Pero imbes na makinig ay hinigit pa niya ko
