LANCE'S POV

"Yes, Lance. I felt bad for myself for leveling to those woman you fucked for fun. Sino ba naman ang hindi? Para akong naging puta sa inasal ko. A moment ay ako ang kahalikan mo and the next moment is iba naman."

"What the hell?!" 

Days have passed, and I could not be happier than I was. I was accustomed with life pulling me with tons of work. As the proclaimed CEO of an empire, working hard was not part of my vocabulary, walang pagiging masipag sa bokabularyo ko. Instead, I work smart. 

"I know. I'ts a crappy reason, I guess we could just work things out after the marriage. You don't need to be my man, just act civil and let's not disrespect each other. Ayaw ko ng gulo, as much as possible I want us to be happy."

When I escaped the country in hopes of finding a solution to an inevitable dilemma, I gained name and respect instead.

Tandang-tanda ko pa ang pagmamalaki sa puso ko at that time. I was named billionaire at a young age, and I couldn't be more proud of myself. I took pleasure of the fame I was gaining in the market industry. Not knowing that I was losing my own principles in life. I thought that was happiness, I thought winning and at the same obstructing another empire is happiness, no, it wasn't.

"What? No! No, you're misunderstanding!"

I felt proud, but not happy. 

Something in me was missing. And in hopes to satisfy my cravings for attention I bedded woman after woman. I was a jerk and a fool. 

But those days are over, something different showed up. Or rather, it had always been there but I was just scared to open my eyes at that time. Fuck!  Ako na ata ang pinakamaswerteng lalaki. I don't know why, but I'm the happiest even if it was a small achievement. From the moment na pumirma ako sa kontratang 'yun, things won't be the same. I'm no longer bachelor; I'm now engaged to a beautiful man.

"Let go, Lance."

An angel showed up, he was not the person I was planning to fill my life with; he was clearly out from the option. Sa mga mata niya nakita ko ang kasiyahan na matagal ko ng hinahanap. Naramdaman ko ang natatanging pakiramdam na siya lang ang may kayang iparamdam sa akin. 

He made me lust for him, obsessive for his touch, possessive for his kisses, and a fool for his attention.

"Damn! I'm sorry okay?"

"You're sorry for what, Lance? There's no need for apology, really. I was sorry but not for you, I was sorry for myself, 'yun lang."

This world is cruel; I was scared; I was a coward at that time. I never thought that when finding the person who would make me smile for no reason is simple, but fuck no, my brat is not ordinary. He's innocent looking but he's a little demon. My little demon, and when the time comes, I will let the world know that I was given the chance to hold the hand of that little demon, the hand of the most lovely and enticing person in my lifetime. Not now, but soon ay ipapakilala ko siya sa buong mundo.

"I'm sorry if I was a jerk at hinayaang mag-isip ka ng ganiyan. You're not a puta, Ace. You're my brat, you're special and that girl you saw was my friend. I don't know why on earth she would do that to me."

Kung noon wala akong paki-alam na umiyak ang mga babae at magmakaawa, ngayon ay hindi pwede. Seeing his face shock at nasasaktan sa nakitang may kayakap akong iba, nawala na ako sa ulirat at dali-daling hinabol siya. Pilyo ang mga ngiti ko ng maalala ko ang tagpo namin kanina. I can't take the idea na galit siya sa akin. I'll go nuts!

"I'm sorry, Lance. I don't believe you. I want to pero hindi ko na kaya eh. Hindi ko na kayang magtiwala matapos ang nangyari sa'tin noon."

Fuck myself for being an asshole! I know that all Gods, out there was laughing at my state but it's alright. Everything went right.

"'Nangyari sa'tin noon', have we already met before, Ace?" I asked him cold-dead serious. He has been acting reserve and aloof the moment I introduced myself. Since then I know something was off. Something he knew that I'm not even aware of.

And I will have my ways to know about those secrets.

"H-Huh, hindi ah!" Alright then,

"And stop it nga, damuho ka! How dare you turn the argument against me?" He may look cute with an angered face, but damn! Hindi ko hahayaang magalit siya ng ilang oras. Hindi ko kaya.

"I'll stop then," He gave me on what looks like a scowl, pero nagmukha lang siyang kuneho sa paningin ko. A one fucking fierce bunny.

I'm not sure what's happening in me but one thing is sure, I'm falling for my brat. Hindi ako ma-uulol ng ganito sa isang tao kung kung hindi siya mahalaga sa akin. Damn, he's the most important person in my eyes this moment.

The day passed nang wala siyang ginawa kung hindi ang mag-picture at magsasayaw sa harap ng kamara. I know that app since my company is one of the shareholder who provides great advantage for that application.

"No, brat that's excessively too much." Sabi ko at kinahig palayo ang mga kolorete sa mukha.

"Sige na, Lance! Parang make-up lang eh!" Hell no!

"Fucking no, Ace,"

"Ano ba naman 'yan sige na kasi," Fuck that pouting lips! "Kuya Silver ay maarte rin, even mommy won't have me as her make-up artist. Hindi rin naman pumapayag ang daddy. Haist!" I took the little beauty before me, is he even aware of how cute he looks right now?

Damn, calm yourself Lance! Inosente pa 'yang kausap mo.

"Papayag o maghahanap ako ng ibang lalaking papayag, you choose, damuho ka?" Inosenteng tigre yata to eh, "Marami naman akong kilala na papayag. Sayang din naman ang prize kong halik." Bulong-bulong niya na nagpa-pintig sa pandinig ko!

What the fuck?

"Brat, tell me you're not kissing some assholes lips for a prize!" Bulalas ko at hinakbang ang pagitan namin. He's in front of his vanity full of painting shits and kita ko naman ang paglaki ng mukha niya ng tuluyan ko na siyang dinungaban ng halik.

Good to know na may epekto ako sa kaniya. I'll make you fall for me every day, love.

"Bakit ka ba halik ng halik? You're taking mihasa na eh."

"What in the hell is 'mihasa'?"

"Dumb, of course it's taking advantage. Stupid mo naman," Ngiting asong ulol ang natatanging sinagot ko.

He's still unconscious with our position. I'm holding his hips kasi alam kung magpupumiglas 'to.

"Just tell me you're not kissing anyone's lips, brat. Makakapatay ako ng tao. Your lips are mine and mine alone."

Mas lalo namang humaba ang nguso niya and mapupungay ang mga mata na tinampal ang dibdib ko.

"Hindi ah! Ikaw pa lang nakahalik sa'kin so don't say shits about me. Sayang din naman ang prize, kiss on the cheeks. Kawalan na 'yun diba?" He asked innocently, but I know better. This brat is cunning. If I thought he wasn't aware of our position, I made a mistake.

He's playing with my collar with that lower lip in between his teeth. This little bunny is seducing his predator and it's working, oh boy.

I'm instantly hard from the sound of his breath, by the simple movement he makes above me, and with his languid hand movement in my shoulders. Fuck that cute and innocent face! He's basically straddling right directly in my soldier down there. Nakasaludo na ito at handa ng lumaban.

Deep breath, Lance, deeeeepppp breath! HOO!! You made a promise to his brother, damn, I need to hold this in. I still have a family to impress with. But those promises are growing thin as this young sweet kitten drags me back to hell.

No one had ever made this kind of effect on me. Wala kahit ni isa sa mga babae. I feel like I'm an asshole comparing this angel in my arms to those onetime sluts. Fuck, tell me, is this normal? I can't even tell.

"I don't need the prize, brat. Dahil sa posisyon pa lang natin ngayon ay kayang-kaya ko ng gawin 'yun." Sabi ko sabay halik sa mababango niyang pisngi. Those addictive smell, hindi ako magsasawa dito. His scent is like this sweet strawberry na may halong bango ng isang sangol, the kind of reeking innocent smell.

"Hmm, ang bango ng asawa ko."

"Uhm! U-uh, Lance!" Doon lang ako bumalik sa ulirat ko ng marinig ko ang mga ungol at pagpupumiglas niya. Inilayo ko ang aking mukha sa may liig niya na may love marks.

I was ashamed of myself that I couldn't even hold a day from my promise with his brother Silver, but fuck it, it's hard. Anyways I'm happy to see those marks, I'm marking my territory. Kinagat ko pa ito ulit na nagpa-ungol sa kaniya.

I really need to stop.

But how to stop?
