PINAGKATITIGAN ni Loki ang binata na mahimbing ang tulog sa tabi niya. Sebastian, who was sleeping soundly, his hair tousled and a peaceful expression on his face. Loki couldn't resist leaning over and planting a gentle kiss on his forehead. Loki's gaze dropped to Sebastian's lips, his own lips twitching.  He reached out, tracing the line of Sebastian's jaw with a  thumb. His eyes never leaving Sebastian's.

His jaw clenched as he gentle yet firmly pressed his thumb on Sebastian's bottom lips. Mas lalong umintig ang panga niya ng maramdaman niya ang lambot ng labi nito sa daliri niya. His lip pressed together, in a thin line. His eyes burning with raw emotion.

He wouldn't deny that he find Sebastian' handsome and strong. Iyong pag-uugali ni Sebastian walang katulad, at gustong-gusto niya ang pagmumura nito sa kanya, he chuckled, maybe because no one has dare to speak to him in such manner, only Sebastian. Ibang-iba ang epekto ni Sebastian sa kanya.

He was hooked by Sebastian from the very first time he met him.

Kumunot ang noo ni Loki nang biglang tumalikod si Sebastian, pinaka-ayaw niya sa lahat ay ang tinatalikuran siya. Pero kaagad ring nawala ang pagkunot ng noo niya nang bahagyang hinatak ni Sebastian ang kumot at sinolo mag-isa.

He smirked, his eyes on Sebastian's back. Walang sout pang-itaas ang binata kaya kitang-kita ni Loki ang kabuohan ng likod ni Sebastian. He reached out, his fingers tracing the delicate curves of Sebastian's back, marahan at banyad lang ang paggalaw ng mga daliri niya sa batok nito patungo sa likod. Minsan ay hinihimas niya ang balakang nito na para bang nakakaalis iyon ng galit.

He felt Sebastian stiffened, he moved closer to Sebastian. Nang tumama ang likod nito sa dibdib niya, ang kamay niyang naglilimikot huminto sa balakang nito. His lips found Sebastian's ear, he planted a soft kisses behind his ear, his breath hot against Sebastian's skin. He could feel Sebastian moving, as if he wanted to push him away.

He didn't acknowledged Sebastian's protest. He continued kissing, nipping and licking Sebastian's ear. And when he couldn't get enough of that, his hand on Sebastian's waist move up to his chest. His fingers doing a circular motion on Sebastian's nipple.

Sebastian groaned. "Stop," he said, he sounded so sleepy. Loki knew Sebastian was aware of what he was doing to him.

He didn't say anything, he stopped kissing Sebastian's ear. However, his fingers doing a circulat motion on Sebastian's nipple, pinched his nipple that jolted Sebastian awake.

"Loki, stop it!" Pagalit na sigaw ni Sebastian. Hinawakan nito ang kamay niya para pigilan siya. A small smiled appeared on his lips as he felt Sebastian grip on his hanf tightened. "Natutulog na nga ako, minamanyak mo parin ako." Naiinis na sabi ni Sebastian.

He moved closer to Sebastian, leaving no space between them. His strong, hard chest pressed against Sebastian's back. He heard Sebastian groaned in annoyance. "Seriously?"

"Can I kiss you?" He asked, his voice low and husky.

Sebastian forehead creased, he glanced at Loki over his shoulder. "What the fuck did you say?"

"Can I kiss you?" He repeated, his voice laced with desire.

Napakurap-kurap si Sebastian at marahas na binitawan ang kamay niya. "Can we just sleep in peace?"

"Yes, but can I get a kiss?"

Nakita niya ang pagkagulat sa mga mata ni Sebastian na para bang hindi ito makapaniwala sa hinihingi niya. "No." May diin nitong sabi at nag-iwas ng tingin sa kanya.

He smiled, he was still hugging Sebastian from behind. Loki kissed on Sebastian nape, as his arm pulled Sebastian closer to his body. "Just a kiss, baby." He said, his voice dark and dangerous.

Sebastian hissed. "Stop it!"

He bite Sebastian's nape and quickly licked the sting away. He heard Sebastian cursed. "Stop it! Loki, I swear if you don't fucking stop..."

A devilish smiled crepted to his lips, he didn't thibk for a second, pinaharap niya si Sebastian sa kanya at mabilis niya itong kinaibabawan, sinungaban niya ng halik ang mga labi nito. Kitang-kita niya ang gulat sa mga mata ni Sebastian, pinipilit siya nitong itulak palayo pero hindi niya ito hinayaan. He grabbed Sebastian wrists and pinned them above his head as he deepened the kiss, he slid his tongue into Sebastian's mouth, tasting and slurping his tongue like it was the most delicious desert he ever tasted.

Sebastian moaned muffled in his mouth, he was staring at Sebastian's eyes as he was kissing him rough. Minsan ay kinakagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi nito na para bang nangigigil siya.

Mas lalo naging mapusok, marupok at malalim ang halik na sinimulan niya, napapikit si Sebastian dahil sa intensidad na dala niyon sa katawan nito. Loki's tongue explore his mouth and as he couldn't get enough of Sebastian, his hands found Sebastian's chest, his fingers doing a circulat motion on Sebastian's nipple while his other hand pinching the other nipple, he felt Sebastian moaned in his mouth. Sebastian jolted in a sudden pleasure threaten to consume him.

When he pulled from the kiss, Sebastian eyes squeezed shut as his lips parted. He didn't stop playing his nipples. He continued playing with them with his fingers, pinching them and pressing his thumb to put pressure on his nipples. Loki could see how much Sebastian is enjoying what he was doing to his body.

He looked at Sebastian's face, his eyes darkened as he continued playing with Sebastian's nipples with his fingers. "Loki..." Sebastian breathed out. "Stop...it..." He said, his voice a barely whisper.

He parted Sebastian's legs using his knees and then, he settled himself in between his thighs. Napahawak si Sebastian sa braso niya na para bang doon kumuha ng lakas para labanan ang sensasyong lumulukod sa katawan nito. "Loki, please..." He breathed. "Stop...please, stop..."

Ngumisi si Loki at inilapit ang mukha niya sa mukha ni Sebastian. He licked Sebastian's bottom lips before he stopped playing with his nipples. He heard Sebastian moan softly.

"It doesn't sound like you want me to stop." He said against Sebastian's lips.

Sebastian glared at him, but Loki saw a flicker of amusement in those eyes. "You fucking started it." Sebastian said.

He smiled at Sebastian and planted a soft kiss on his lips. "If I were you...you better start reminding yourself about what we have talked."

"What?" Sebastian asked. Confused.

Umalis siya sa pagkakadagan kay Sebastian at nahiga sa tabi nito, ipinalibot niya ang mga braso sa beywang ni Sebastian at mas lalo pang hinapit palapit ang binata sa kanya. "One curse, one fuck." He said, trying to remind Sebastian about it.

Sebastian looked at him, lips parted and eyes filled with irritation. "I freaking hate you."

He chuckled sexily that he noticed Sebastian cheeks reddened. "You find me attractive, just admit it."

"You're the freaking ugliest man I have ever met."

He just smiled and looked at Sebastian, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Alright, if you say so. Ako na ang lalaking pangit sa paningin mo, at ako rin ang lalaking magpapa-init sa gabi mo."

Sebastian face turned red, he looked away, trying to ignored Loki. "Stop it already!"

"Alright, alright, fine. I'll stop." Nakangising sabi niya.

Naghari ng katahimikan sa kabuohan ng silid, hindi maiwasang hindi mapaisip si Sebastian tungkol sa nalaman nito kay Loki, when he called Jeowon earlier, he found out a lot of things about Loki and that shit made him want to stay out of here for good. No'ng sinabi ni Jeowon na sangkut si Loki sa mga illegal business at isa rin sa nagpapatakbo sa malaking illegal organization sa asya.

Sa impormasyong nalaman ni Sebastian, napagtanto niyang hindi ordinaryong business man si Loki. He is more than just a business man. And Jeowon knows a lot of information about Loki.

At sa una hindi pa siya naniwala na isang Mafia Boss si Loki. Pero nang bigyan siya ng ebidensiya ni Jeowon, he believed it, that Loki is a Mafia boss.

He tried to erase the thoughts. He tried to focus on some things. Sebastian flinched when Loki buried his face on his nape, inhaling his scent that sent shiver down his spine. Huminga siya ng malalim at pilit na hindi pinansin ang nararamdaman niya, he closed his eyes and finally, he fell asleep.

THE morning sun peeked through the curtains, its golden rays caressing Sebastian's face, gently rousing him from his slumber. As his eyes fluttered open, they were immediately drawn to Loki's peaceful face. He sat up slowly, his gaze fixed on Loki, and with a touch as light as a feather, he brushed a stray strand of hair from his face.

He look so peaceful when he's asleep. Sebastian thought.

Kapagkuwan, napunta ang tingin niya sa orasan. It's 6:30 in the morning. Maaga siyang nagising. Umalis siya sa kama at kaagad na kinolekta ang damit sa coffee table pagkatapos ay sinout niya iyon saka sunod na sinuot ang sapatos niya. Wala siyang balak manatili sa bahay ni Loki at lalong wala siyang balak manatili sa tabi nito.

He blew a breath as he walked out of Loki's room, hindi na siya muling lumingon pa sa silid nito. He needs to leave before Loki's wake up, nagmamadali siyang umalis sa bahay nito. Nagpapasalamat nalang siya at naging madali ang pag-alis niya sa bahay ni Loki.

He called a taxi and he was thankful that he was immediately notice by the taxi driver kaya mabilis siyang nakaalis. He went straight to Selena's house, kailangan niyang makausap ang kapatid niya.

Nakakasiguro si Sebastian na marami ng nakakakilala sa kanya sa organisasyon ni Loki. He doesn't want to put his sister in danger, matapos ng lahat nang nalaman niya tungkol kay Loki hindi niya masisiguro ang kaligtasan ng kapatid niya rito. Nang makarating siya sa bahay ni Selena, dali-dali siyang lumabas sa taxi at pumaroon sa loob ng bahay ni Selena.

Kapagkuwan nang makapasok siya, nagulat si Selena nang makita siya, halata namang kakagising lang ng kapatid niya. "Kuya...ang aga mo ata." Takang sabi ni Selena sa kanya.

Bumuntong-hininga siya. "Sorry, dapat tumawag muna ako bago ako nagpunta dito..." Sabi niya. "Mukhang kakagising mo lang, mag-almusal muna tayo." Dagdag saad niya.

Selena looked at him and nodded. "Ikaw ang magluto, kuya. Maliligo muna ako, maaga kasi ang pasok ko ngayon eh."

Tumango lang siya at ningitian si Selena. Nang muling bumalik si Selena sa kuwarto nito, nagtungo naman si Sebastian sa kusina ng kapatid niya. He prepared a simple breakfast, just enough for the two of them to share, after a few minutes. Selena came to the kitchen, bihis na bihis ang kapatid niya.

"Maupo kana." Sabi niya at pinagtimpla ito ng kape. Naupo naman kaagad si Selena sa upoan at nag-umpisa ng magsalin ng pagkain sa plato nito. Bumalik siya sa lamesa dala ang tinimplanh kape para sa kapatid niya.

Naupo siya sa bakanteng upoan kaharap nito. "Marami ka bang gagawin sa trabaho mo?" Tanong niya.

Tumingin si Selena sa kanya. "Oo, bakit?"

Inabot niya ang kape kay Selena at tinanggap naman iyon ni Selena. He looked at his sister.  He knew she wouldn't understand if he tells her. "I need to make sure that you're safe," he said, his voice laced with worry. "Kaya lilipat ka muna pansamantala."

Kumunot ang noo ni Selena. "Bakit? Bagong lipat ko palang dito, Kuya...saka bakit biglaan naman ata?"

"Just do it, Selena. Wag ng maraming tanong." Sabi niya.

Umiling si Selena. "Kuya, what are you talking about? Ako? Lilipat? Saan naman?" Takang tanong ni Selena sa kanya.

"There's only one place that I know you'll be safe." He uttered.

"Kuya, what got into you that you want me to move out? Ako lang? Bakit? Eh ikaw?" Tinitigan siya ni Selena. "Ano bang dahilan at bakit bigla mo akong gustong lumipat?"

"I want to keep you safe, Selena...I don't want to involve you." He honestly said. His eyes filled with worries. "I think I'm in trouble." He added.

She raised an eyebrow. "You think?"

"Just pack your things, yung mga kailangan lang ang iimpake mo. Ihahatid kita sa airport, doon ka muna kay Dad, at least do'n sigurado akong ligtas ka. Protektado ka ni Dad." Sabi nalang niya.

Naguguluhang tumingin si Selena sa kanya. "What's the reason, Kuya? Ano ba talaga ang problema?"

"Just listen to me and no more questions. Pack your things." May diin niyang sabi. Makulit talaga si Selena, hindi ito titigil sa kakatanong hangga't hindi nakukuha ang sagot. But he was glad that she kept asking and she just continued eating the food.

The silent was broke when Mr. Callan called. He immediately answered the call. "Officer Conception speaking." He said, his voice deep and husky.

"I got good news for you." Mr. Callan said on the other line.

"What is it?"

"You can comeback to our station. You're back to work. Nagawan ko na ng paraan kaya makakabalik kana."

Fuck, yes! That's a good news!

"Are you really sure, boss?"

"Yes."

"That's good to hear. Got something that could make my day much more fun?" Nakangisi niyang sabi.

"You know it. I've got plently of taks to give you. But you have to come to the station. And trust me, there'll be no Loki Cartevill to interrupt us."  Ani ni Mr. Callan sa kabilang linya.

"That's good to hear. I'll be there." Then, he hang up. He looked at Selena and he already knew she would ask him question.

"Who called? You seem happy now."

"Just a friend of mine. Nangangamusta lang," sabi niya. "Are you done eating? If so, start packing your things. Ihahatid kita sa aiport."

Sumimangot si Selena. "Do I have to stay with Dad?"

He looked at her, his eyes softened. "Yes, you'll be safe with Dad." Kahit na hindi maganda ang relasyon niya sa kanyang ama alam niyang hindi ipapahamak ng ama niya si Selena.

"Fine..." Iyon lang ang naging sagot ni Selena bago nagtungo sa kuwarto nito para mag-impake. A smalp smiled appeared on his lips, kahit na palatanong si Selena parati naman itong nakikinig sa kanya. He love his sister, si Selena ang nagpapasaya sa kanya.

Loki stared emotionlessly at his laptop.  Kelton's voice cut through the silence. "Some Russian group bombed your supposedly safest house in Russia."

Loki's glare was sharp. "It's the safest house in Russia! How did they even—?! Those bastards won't stop!" Fury simmered beneath his controlled exterior.

Kelton leaned back in his swivel chair, nodding slowly. "Yeah… so, what's the plan? And by the way…" He tossed newspapers onto Loki's desk. "Sebastian Conception's face is plastered across every news outlet, from the Philippines to Russia, Singapore, Thailand, South Africa, America… everywhere. You've made a huge mistake."

Theseus, who'd been silently observing, sighed. "This could get messy.  Even we could be in danger because of our friendship with you. We can protect ourselves, but Sebastian… what protection does he have against the Russian mafia?"

He had done this.

Loki's forehead creased. He called his secretary, Mona, known for her efficiency. "Sir?"

"Prepare the chopper."

"Yes, sir."

Kelton and Theseus exchanged knowing glances. They knew Loki. He was going to Russia, to confront the mafia.  But dealing with them wouldn't be easy; their ruthlessness was legendary. Theseus, owner of the largest airline in the Middle East and a prominent figure in Asia, and Kelton, a billionaire news mogul, both worked for Loki.

On the rooftop, Loki boarded the chopper piloted by Hernisto, his trusted captain.  Hernisto grinned. "Good to see you, Cartevill. Destination?"

"My toy shop," Loki replied, referring to his Cebu City airline, a collection of helicopters, planes, and various aircraft—a testament to his immense wealth.  "Copy that," Hernisto responded.

Loki gazed out at the sky, lost in thought. He needed a solution, a way to end this conflict with the Russian mafia, a conflict ignited by his actions concerning Sebastian Conception. He couldn't let Sebastian be dragged into this.

A few hours later, they landed at the Cebu airline.  The staff stood at attention as Loki strode towards his private plane. Everything was ready; only the pilot and he were missing. "Good morning, sir," Captain Felion greeted him, but Loki ignored him, taking his seat. "Ready, sir?" Hernisto asked, a smile playing on his lips.

Loki nodded, pouring himself a glass of wine as he watched the world pass by the window.

Meanwhile, Sebastian had just arrived home, exhausted. Thankfully, Loki hadn't contacted him. He'd secured his job, ready to start again tomorrow. He lay on his bed-sofa, staring at his phone screen.  Oddly, he found himself waiting for a message, a call… anything from Loki.
