Cade’s soft and moistened lips graze over mine as I slowly lie down on his king size bed. Before my back totally reach the pluffy mattress, he pulled my dress out of my head and that’s the only time our lips set apart. When he successfully undressed me, he goes back to kissing me roughly.

Leaving me with nothing but my inner wear, he went on top of me and I suddenly quivered when I felt the pendant of his gold necklace dancing above my chest. It’s cold texture sent shiver deep down my spine.

“I miss you so much, Tate.” He whispered between our kisses.

I didn’t answer. Instead, I clung my arms around his neck and kissed him deeper. I want to feel the intensity and excitement I felt before back when we’re still new. Maybe the feelings will come back. Maybe because of this kiss, I will find my way back to him.

Until now, I still believe that he’s my home. He should be.

His kisses became more wild when his lips left mine and crawled to my cheeks down my jaw line. Along with that, his hand slowly made its way to my chest. He pulled my brassiere down and freed my breast like he doesn’t have time anymore to properly take that piece of cloth off.

Cade cupped my chest firmly like his life depends on if. His lips traveled from my neck down my chest until he reached my peak. Without inhibitions, he opened his lips and put my nipples inside his warm mouth.

I can’t feel anything. I have to feel something. This isn’t normal anymore. I should be aroused right now but why do I feel like some cold stone?

The phone inside his jeans’ created a sound. It’s so loud that I can hear it. Cade seems to be unaware of the disturbance because he keeps on sucking my breast. The roughness of his jean was stroking the smoothness of my lower stomach as he grind sensually.

“Cade, your phone is ringing.” I said through a breathless whisper, almost thanking the heaven that it happened.

It’s hard to pretend that you don’t want to do it anymore. It’s easier to have sex with a stranger rather than to have sex with the one you once loved.

“Don’t mind it…” he said, still sucking my nipples.

I chuckled and pushed him away. He let go of my nippies and lifted his eyes to me.

“Answer it. Maybe it’s important-“

“Nothing’s important than you, Tate.”

I rolled my eyes heavenward. “We can still continue after the call.”

He sighed and pouted just like a kid who just lost his favorite toy. “Fine. What my girlfriend says always goes.”

He pushed himself up by leaning his palms agains the mattress. Kneeling down, he shoved his hand inside his pocket and grabbed his phone without removing his eyes from me. He’s still scowling that earned a chuckle from me.

He looked at his phone. He released a heavy sigh. I saw him tap the screen before putting the phone beside his ear.

“Coraleen…” he called out in a lazy drawl, his eyes were now back on staring at me. It’s another couple of seconds before his bushy brows snapped together in a angry manner. “What?!”

I rose up in the bed, my chest filled with panic at his thunderous voice that rolled across his room. He hurriedly went down and put on his black t-shirt.

“I’m on my way.” He said while looking at me. The color of his face went from fair to crimson red. “I need to go, Tate. There is an emergency.”

“What happened ?” I asked.

“The branch in Makati got robbed. There are casualties and I need to be there. Will you be fine going home alone?” he asked and walked near me.

“Yes, I’m Fine! Take care of that first. Do you want me to come with you?”

“No need. The goons are still there. I don’t want you to get hurt,” he slouched a bit and planted a kiss on my forehead. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Tate.”

I nodded. “Be careful.”

“I will.”

He planted another kiss on my forehead and down to my lips before getting his car keys from the night table. I watched him walk out of his room. He glanced at me before getting on his car.

I took a deep breath. I wore my dress again. After our family day, Cade asked me if we could have some “we time” here in his penthouse. Since I don’t have things to do , and I just want us to spend our time together.

Things like this happen every time, just like the one that happened a while ago. Their company in Makati got robbed and many of them got injured. It will be a huge problem for him since their family name is the top jeweler in this country. It will be a big lose in their business if it’ll not be solved quickly. But knowing Cade, he knows how to handle conflicts and serious situations. Even though he’s the only son, he easily finds a solution especially when it comes to their business.

One of the reasons why I fell in love with him.

What happened then, Tatiana? What changed?

I let out a deep sigh. “I’m just lost; I just have to find a way back to him.”

After changing my dress, my phone beeped. I walked near the mini sofa where my phone is. My micro-bladed brows lined bitchily when I got to read the message written in it.

Nigen:

Let’s make out. The rebel club ;)

I grinned and typed my reply.

Me:

I don’t kiss someone who’s already committed, Nigen. Haha!

If I’m not mistaken, he’s the one who I hang out with at the bar weeks ago. The problem is, he is already committed. The girl even picked a fight with me, he’s boyfriend is not even handsome!

Nigen:

I already ditched her, Tate. I’m yours. I’ll wait for you.

He’s mine? Ew. I don’t even have a slight interest in him. If I didn’t accidentally touch him down there just to find out that he’s not even massive. What a waste.

Me:

Coming.

My gosh, Tate. You don’t want to but you replied that you’ll be going?

Just trying, maybe a little hook up will do. And I can’t stay longer cause knowing Mom, I don’t wanna get scolded again. Maybe she’ll regret that I was born in this world, I don’t want that.

I arrived early at The Rebel. I want to call Mica to tell her that I’ here, but I know she has other important things to do especially on Sundays.

Neon colors coming from the strobe lights illuminated the whole dance floor as I walked inside. There are few people who called me, waving their hands ate me. I just responded with a nod.

I’m famous, got a problem?

My eyes landed at the bar. Even though it’s dark , my eyes are still looking for Nigen. That guy is tall , so it’s easier to find him with just his height.

My eyebrows met when I saw that he wasn’t there. The only people in there is a man with a girl. It seems like they are having a serious talk.

“Where is he? Maybe he’d already found a girl to hook up with?” I silently whispered. Well , I don’t wanna waste any time , I just have to enjoy myself.]. I sat on the vacant stool and looked at the barista. “Classic Mojito, please!”

“Right away, Ma’am!” he said cheerfully.

I turned to sit down, I sat like a queen , taking a peek at the whole bar. I scanned the whole dancefloor. Everyone seems to be out of their normal state. They all look wild like they’re having the best night of their lives.

“Why are you hiding from me? I’ve been calling you for days , and you didn’t even answer me with a decent reply! And then only to find out that you’re always in this bar?. What’s wrong with you-“

“Nothing is wrong with me, Tanya. You’re just paranoid.”

I glanced at them after hearing their exchange of words. They are the couple that I saw at the entrance of the bar. The man was sitting on the stool, while the girl is standing, facing him. She has an intense stare and a teary eye. While the man seems to be careless and bored. There’s a clear glass between his fingers. Inside was brown liquor.

“I am not paranoid, Zadriel! I’ve been expecting a call from you ever since we DID it-.”

“Shut it, Tanya. I did not go here to hear all your bullshits. I’m tired from work and I just want to have a little fun. Can you give me that privacy?” the man asked with so much irritation swimming in his deep voice.

I watched him carefully from my angle. It’s dark, the only thing that I see is the side of his face. He sure has a sharp nose, defined jawline and thick eyebrows. His body is firm and masculine like he always use his free time at the gym. He’s wearing a white long sleeve, folded up to his elbow. He sure looks tired from work.

Well, can’t blame him for being grumpy, he’s quite handsome.

“You can have your privacy with me-“

The man chuckled that cut the woman from talking. His voice was raspy. The way he chuckle feels like a serenade. It sounds attractive and relaxing at the same time.

“Do you know the definition of privacy, Tanya? Or you still want me to define it?” The man said mockingly. “I want some privacy and that means I want to be alone.”

The woman’s eye widened. “Fine! I’ll leave you alone. But this will be the last time!”

After she said that , she stormed outside. I saw the man grinning. He brought the glass in the middle of his lips and sipped the alcohol from it.

“Here’s your Classic Mojito, Ma’am!” the barista shouted. I turned to him and smiled. I took my drink and slowly turned to the man beside me again. He’s like in a deep thought.

Privacy, my ass. If he wants privacy, then he should’ve gone to the cemetery cause it’s really quiet there. If I know, he just want to get rid of that girl.

I sipped my drink slowly while looking at the man beside me.

“I wonder what your size is, hmm?” My thought just came right on my mouth.] My eyes widened when I saw him shot his darker than the midnight sky eyes at me.

He eyed me with a confused look on his face. “Excuse me?”

“Yes, you wanna pass?.”

Irritation filled his face . “Tss.”

He averted his gaze and looked back ahead of him. I laughed, he’s so grumpy.

“ I think you’re massive. Girls are all over you.”

He averted his gaze to me “Are you talking to me?”

I pretended to be looking around. “Do you see something that I couldn’t see?”

His smoldering hawk-like eyes narrowed into slits. “Don’t fuck with me, woman.”

“That was fast! Why don’t we make out first. You’re just too excited!” I giggled. “You’ve got guts. Is that thing really massive? American size? German or Philippine size? Or Japanese size,ha!”

I laughed so hard. The aura on his face become darker. It’s three good seconds later when the corner of his lips turned up, creating a God-like but dangerous smirk.

“Why don’t you touch it? You want to know the size, right?…”

Oh, feisty! Maybe he has a german size?

“Weh? Your sure? We’ll see. Wait, I don’t have a ruler with me. Can I measure it with my hand instead!” I giggled.

Oh, gosh. I’m such a flirty bitch. Where did I get this attitude? From Mommy or from Daddy?

Fine, I admit it his handsome and my flirty side already showed up.

He looked at me , his lips are already wet. The neon lights illuminated its wetness.

“Here?” he asked cooly.

“Where do you want to do it?” He actually looks like a good make-out partner. From the looks of it, you’ll surely be satisfied.

He rose up from his seat. His towering height only showed me that he can pass as a model. He stepped near me without pulling his smoldering eyes from mine. He transferred to a stool right beside me. The scent of his manly perfume with a mixture of alcohol lingered in my nose. The sweet scent of his warm breath touched the skin of my upper neck.

“I want somewhere dark and private where there’s no one to disturb us …” he chuckled sexily. “Let’s see if my size would fit inside you.”
