Chapter 1

Nagpakawala ng mabigat na paghinga si Eloise nang muling sakupin ni Estevan ang kan’yang mga labi. Nasa loob pa lamang sila ng elevator ngunit hindi na yata makapaghintay ang binata.

Mabibigat ang paghinga nito at mapupusok ang bawat halik. Hindi na niya yata mabilang kung ilang beses na siyang nagmumura sa isipan dahil sa traydor niyang katawan. Despite her head screaming for danger, her body was saying otherwise.

A soft moan escaped from her mouth when he gently pushed her against the wall, his hands were once again roaming her body. Nanindig ang kan’yang balahibo sa pinaghalong init at lamig na dala nito.

Isang malutong na mura ang pinakawalan ni Estevan nang narinig nila ang pagbukas ng elevator. Bago pa man makapag-react si Eloise ay kaagad na siyang hinila ng binata palabas.

“Come on.”

Nang tingnan niya kung saang floor sila, halos manlaki ang mata niya sa nakita. It was freaking PH-C. A freaking penthouse. Estevan is really THAT rich.

She could hear her heart pounding so loudly she almost couldn’t breathe properly.

Paglabas pa lang nila sa elevator ay isang private foyer na kaagad ang sumalubong sa kanila.

Everything was happening so fast and so blurry at the same time. She didn’t have time to process it all. The next thing she knew, she was already lying on a cream sofa and Estevan was on top of her. Unti-unti nitong tinatanggal ang kan’yang butones habang hindi pa rin pinapakawalan ang labi niya.

She gasped as his lips slowly went down to her neck, planting some kisses that swiftly sent shivers down her body. Mas bumigat pa lalo ang kan’yang paghinga nang dumako ang mga labi nito sa tapat ng kan’yang dibdib.

She bit her lips as he looked down at Estevan, who was apparently looking up at her. Halos malunod siya sa kung paano siya tingnan nito, tila nangungusap…at nakakalula.

“Ahh…” she moaned as his hand cupped one of her proud mountains against her dress, squeezing it.

Mariin niyang naipikit ang mga mata niya nang walang pasabi itong sinakop ang kan’yang bundok gamit ang bibig nito. And what’s even crazier was she still has her dress on.

Mas lalong nag-init ang katawan ni Eloise sa ginagawa ng binata. Hindi na niya alam ang dapat gawin kun’di ang umungol at padaganin ang mga daliri sa mga buhok nito. She was pushing him away, yet her fingers curled into his hair, pulling him closer.

Oh, gosh! How can he make me so turned on for him? She thought.

She could feel her wet down there. Nakakahiya mang aminin, ngunit sabik na sabik siya sa susunod na gagawin ng lalaki.

It’s the freaking alcohol! She tried to reason it out in her head.

She could already feel his erection between her legs. That made the heat spread even more. Mas lumala pa ito nang dahan-dahang dumulas pababa ang kamay ni Estevan sa kan’yang tiyan pababa sa gitna ng mga hita niya. She was only wearing a dress, of course he would have easy access there!

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! She repeatedly cursed inside. Gustong-gusto na niyang itulak si Estevan palayo at tumakbo palabas ng penthouse nito. Because this is insane, but her body was definitely betraying her. She couldn’t move. She couldn’t react against him. All she ever did was let him own her bit by bit. Skin to skin.

Alam niyang wala iyon dapat sa plano niya. She didn’t plan on giving his body to this beast, but if this is the only way for him to take an interest in her, then so be it.

Para sa kapatid niya. Para kay Eli.

ELOISE WOKE UP from a deep slumber. Tumatama ang sikat ng araw sa kan’yang mukha. She adjusted her vision before roaming her gaze, and that’s when she realized that she was in another’s room!

“Oh, shit!” She cursed under her breath.

Dali-dali siyang bumangon at halos mapasigaw nang nakita ang hubo’t hubad niyang katawan

Freaking right. She just had sex with Estevan! The one who impregnated her sister.

Ngayong nasa tamang katinuan na siya ay tila gusto na niyang masampal ang sarili. She couldn’t believe she just gave her virginity up to that total stranger!

Mabilis siyang tumingin sa paligid nang na-realize na baka nasa tabi pa niya ang lalaki at natutulog. Nakahinga naman siya nang maluwag nang nakitang wala siyang katabi sa kama. Do’n lang din niya napansin ang pagraragasa ng tubig mula sa loob ng banyo.

Dahan-dahan siyang tumayo at binalot ang sarili sa bitbit na puting comforter. She ran her gaze all over the place, looking for her clothes. Mabuti nang umalis siya bago pa man matapos maligo ang binata.

But before she could even take a step, biglang bumukas ang pinto ng master bathroom at iniluwa roon si Estevan na tanging ang nakatapis lang na tuwalya sa beywang ang nakatakip sa katawan.

Bigla niyang nahugot ang hininga sa nakita. Tila naging estatwa siya sa kinatatayuan habang pinagmamasdan ang matipuno at malapad nitong katawan. She watched as he stepped out of the bathroom, one hand gripping a white towel, casually running it through his damp hair. Dahil sa ginagawa nito ay tila mas lalong na-flex nang maigi ang biceps nito na tila bato kung tingnan.

“You’re awake,” ani ng lalaki nang nakita siya nito.

“Ah, yes,” halos pabulong niyang wika. Humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa comforter.

Kaswal lamang siya nitong nilagpasan at dumiretso sa bedside table na nasa likod niya. Wala sa sariling naipikit niya ang mga mata nang dumaan ang amoy nito sa kan’yang ilong.

He smelled freshly showered. Cool mint and warm sandalwood clinging to his skin. There was a soft trace of musk beneath it, warm and lingering. He didn’t smell like cologne—he smelled like luxury water and expensive soap.

She wondered how expensive his bath essentials are.

“Are you free?” biglang sambit ni Estevan sa likod niya na kinalingon niya rito.

“Ha?” Napakurap siya.

“I said, are you free? Single?” He raised his eyebrow.

What? Ano’ng inaakala niya? Makikipag-sex sa iba kahit may boyfriend? Galit na wika niya sa isipan.

“Yes.” She tried to force a smile.

He nodded. “Good, how does a 3-month deal sound to you?”

Kumunot ang kan’yang noo sa narinig. “What 3-month deal?”

“Three months of being my exclusive girlfriend.”
