Chapter 3

“Kiss me,” she whispered again, pulling me toward her for a quick, needy smack of a kiss.

I froze for a second.

Ganito ba siya humalik?

It was so far from the kind of kiss I wanted to give her — deep, consuming, the kind that would ruin her for anyone else.

But she pulled me again, tighter this time, and deepened the kiss. Our breaths tangled, hot and uneven. She didn’t let go — even after she had to gasp for air, she dove right back in, lips pressing harder, more desperate.

“Uhm…” she moaned against my mouth — that sound almost snapping my control in half.

“I want more,” she whispered.

Napakunot noo ako. Those three words pushed every restraint I had to the edge. My lips trailed down her neck, licking, tasting, marking her. Her loud moan shot straight through me. I sucked just enough to leave a mark — mine — before my hands slid down her exposed legs.

“Anong ginagawa mo? I feel hot,” she asked, innocent, drunk, unaware of how dangerous that question was.

“Shhh… just feel it, babe.”

I claimed her lips again while my hand cupped her breast, squeezing softly, gently — and f*ck, her body reacted like she’d been waiting for me all night.

My hunger throbbed violently — my body felt like it was at war, trying to break free of every control I forced on it.

I lifted her, settling her on my lap, facing me. Masikip sa sasakyan, but it didn’t matter — the position only made everything harder. Literally.

I pushed her dress up.

She wasn’t wearing a bra.

And her breasts bounced right in front of me like a f*cking invitation.

I lost it.

I sucked her, tongue swirling over her hardened peak while my other hand palmed her other breast. Her head fell back, and—

“Shit, ang sarap…” she moaned — and damn, it made me even hungrier.

“Something’s poking me… down there,” she said breathlessly.

I grabbed her waist and pressed her down onto me, letting her feel exactly what she was doing to me.

“That feels good… I feel wet…” she whispered.

Her hips moved — rubbing, grinding — and the groan that tore out of my throat was anything but controlled.

“F*ck…”

I pushed her against the car’s headboard, kissing down her body. Then I pulled her cycling aside, exposing her soft, delicate heat.

My fingers slid over her — and sh*t, she was drenched.

“You’re so wet for me, babe…” I murmured. My finger circled her, and she cried out — arching, trembling, begging for more without saying a word. I moved faster, deeper, feeding off every moan, every gasp.

“May… la-labas sakin…” she whined, voice cracking.

I didn’t stop.

I didn’t slow down.

I pushed her over the edge until she came undone under my hand.

I opened my pants — ready to take her — when reality crashed back into me like cold water.

“Fck. Fck!”

I growled the curses through clenched teeth. I needed to calm down. I couldn’t lose control. Not with her. Not like this.

She was drunk.

And she had no idea what she was doing to me.

“Kiss me again… I want you…” she slurred.

“Wag ka humiling ng pagsisisihan mo pag gising mo,” I forced out, turning my face away before I did something irreversible.

I didn’t know why — but being with her made every wall I built crumble. I’d met too many women. I never cared. I took what I wanted, then left.

Pero dito…

Dito, halos wala nang natira sa pagtitimpi ko.

I restarted the car and drove. Straight to one of my nearby houses. She needed to sober up. Hours na siyang umiinom. And earlier, I was at the bar for one reason alone — to locate the heiress. X said she’d be there.

Pero nag-iba ang lahat nung nakita ko siya.

Miyah.

She was too beautiful — too easy to get lost in. Kaya sobrang inis ko sa lalaking dumapo sa kanya. Kung hindi lang matao, babalian ko yun ng buto. But we couldn’t make a scene. Too many eyes.

When I glanced at her again… she was asleep. Na naman.

My phone rang — the twins.

“What the f*ck, Kuya! You ruined the mission! Why? Since when did you become careless? We were already there, about to find the heiress, and you just bring a woman to your car and leave? Do you realize what could happen if X finds out? She’s now in danger! Especially from X and our enemies. Pinapasok mo siya sa mundo natin — alam mo na ang mangyayari—”

“Stick to the mission,” I cut him off. “Find the heiress. Secure the area. Don’t worry about me. I’ll talk to X. I know—I messed up.”

I looked at Miyah.

And yeah… I f*cked everything up.

“But… Kuya, Vienna’s pissed. She called you. You didn’t answer.”

Vienna. My sniper. My sister-not-by-blood. She must’ve seen everything.

“Tell Vienna not to worry about me. And… uuwi ka ba?”

“Hindi,” he said quietly.

“Fine.”

I hung up.

We had houses everywhere — even abroad — but the twins still chose Hera’s place. Maybe my brother still couldn’t accept our parents were gone.

Honestly…

Neither could I.

When we reached the house, I carried Miyah to my room. Guest rooms weren’t cleaned. Rarely ako dito — usually nasa hideout or iba kong property.

I tucked her in, went back to the car to grab the food I bought earlier.

My men were stationed all over the property. Silent shadows. The best.

Princess came to mind — my ideal special agent. Talented. Untouchable. Anonymous. She refused my offer. She chose her missions.

But me… I wasn’t as strict as X.

I called Chad.

“Dude, delete everything in the bar. Everyone keeps their mouth shut.”

“It’s not free.”

“Alam ko.”

I hung up, sent the money. Chad worked fast — soon enough, he confirmed everything was handled.

I went back to my room to check on her.

Still sleeping. Peacefully.

I took a shower.

When I stepped out — wearing only my boxers —

I froze.

Because Miyah was no longer in bed.

She was standing there, awake —

looking at me like she remembered every damn thing I did to her.
