Obsessive 1: Denver Ong

SYNOPSIS

Caelan Valez, the cold and untouchable CEO of Valez International, rarely sets foot in the Philippines. But his sister’s eighteenth birthday forces him home, where he crosses paths with Denver Ong, an architecture student who manages to slip past his walls.

What begins as harmless curiosity soon deepens into a quiet obsession.

Yet Denver doesn’t just draw Caelan in. He captivates those around him as well.

But what if Denver already belongs to someone just as powerful, just as ruthless, as Caelan and his peers?

Prologue

CAELAN

The Eiffel Tower glittered outside my penthouse windows, standing tall against the night sky.

I had seen that view countless times. Hindi na iyon bago sa’kin. Hindi na rin iyon nakaka-impress.

There’s only dim light came from the warm gold lamps of my room, casting shadows over the silk sheets beneath the random woman I am fucking.

“Oh!! Faster, Caelan… Ah!” She moans, echoing to the whole room, high and controlled. As though every sound was intentional .

Alam kong pinangangalandakan nya sa lahat ng makakarinig sa kabilang room na kinakana ko sya sa mga oras na ito. But it doesn’t botter me.

“Idiin mo pa—ohh….” She moved on top of me, slow at first, her knees pressed into the mattress. Her hands dragged down my chest, nails leaving faint red marks on my skin. Humahalo sa hangin ang matamis at mabigat niyang pabango, at ang mas natural niyang amoy.

I like her smell. Feminine, sophisticated, and hot. It made my aching cock harder and bigger.

“Ride me more, woman.” I let her lead for a moment. Pinapanood ko lang ang bawat galaw nya. The way she arched her back, the calculated tremble of her breath. All of it was a performance.

Labas-pasok ang kahabaan ko sa kanyang lagusan na namumula na sa kaka-taas baba nya mula sa ibabaw ko.

“Destroy me, Caelan! Oh shit! More! I need more!” she grind her mound on my pelvis. That made my genital go deeper inside her.

Then I took over.

“You’re delicious…” I don’t know her name. I forgot, actually. She’s a daughter of a business tyrant here in Paris that’s why we had linked. But she knows her place.

“Fuck. Ah… shit,” My hands gripped her waist, pulling her down into my rhythm. I sucked her left nipple and nibbled it in my tongue.

“Oh my god!” tumirik ang mata nya. “Ah! Ah…god! Oh my god, deeper…”

I smirked.

My hips drove upward in deep, controlled strokes. Ramdam ko ang pag-igting ng katawan niya, ang bahagyang pag-angat ng ulo niya habang humihinga nang malalim.

Her pussy is now dripping wet. Sobrang dulas na nito sa aking burat.

“Caelan…” she moaned, her voice cracking into something more raw.

I didn’t respond. My gaze stayed locked on her face. Flushed, lips parted, eyes hazy. Every thrust made her moan louder, I can’t control myself anymore.

“I’m coming!”

She leaned forward, lips seeking mine. I turned my head away. Hindi ako humahalik sa mga nakakasama ko sa bedroom.

“You’re not allowed to kiss me.” I warned her. But she didn’t care. She grind more.

My grip tightened, forcing her to match the pace I set. Her nails bit into my shoulders, thighs trembling against my sides. The bed shifted beneath us, sheets twisting around our legs. The sound of the bed cricking echoes.

“Faster,” she whispered.

I didn’t give her what she wanted. Not yet. I kept it slow, deep, deliberate. Pinapanood ko siyang mabaliw sa frustration, until I decided to end it.

Nagpalit kami ng position. Ako naman ang umibabaw. And then I hammered my cock inside her.

When I finally pushed harder, her voice rose… breaking into gasps that no longer sounded rehearsed. It’s almost a minute before she could gasped and find her voice. “Arghhhhhh! Fucking hell!”

She came. For the nth time.

And then I followed. My breathing stayed steady until the last thrust, when I exhaled sharply and pulled away.

She collapsed beside me, still catching her breath. “That was—”

“Get dressed.”

She turned her head toward me, eyes still glazed. “It’s past midnight… Can’t I stay…”

“No.”

I walked into the bathroom, the sound of the shower drowning the rustle of her movements. Pagbalik ko, wala na siya. Good thing she’s not like the other women who would pester me and demand unnecessary things.

The only thing she left behind was her perfume. Expensive, yes. Unforgettable, no.

I forgot her already. Just like that.

For me, sex was clean — a transaction without terms. The moment emotion entered, nagiging magulo na. And I don’t do messy. It would only be a hindrance to my business.

The phone buzzed on the marble counter. I picked it up.

“Caelan!” It was my sister. Ang boses nya sa kabilang linya ay napaka-energetic at jolly. “You’re coming home for my birthday, right?”

Natigilan ako. Should I go?

No. The last place I would go in this world is Philippines. My fucking deprived country.

“No.”

“It’s my eighteenth, kuya. Lahat andun.” Naririnig ko ang panghihinayang at lungkot sa kanyang tinig. “Please, attend my birthday… kuya…”

“I said no.”

There was a pause. The next second she speak up, her voice now had angst and pain.

“If you don’t come, I won’t call you again. I would cut ties with you completely! And I would block you to all of my socials! I swear to God!”

Napapikit ako at napabuga ng hangin. Fuck.

I ended the call without promising anything.

A few minutes later, I was in the living room, swirling The Macallan amber scotch in a crystal glass. The city lights caught on the liquid, turning it gold.

This drink is expensive. Average Filipino could afford this if they work for a decade or so. No lies.

“A quick trip,” I muttered.

Napailing ako at saka ininom ang hawak na alak. Well…

I picked up my private phone. “Ready the jet. I’m going back to Philippines.”

Chapter 1

DENVER

Kararating ko pa lang sa building ay agad na akong sinalubong ng isip-bata kong kaibigan.

“You’re here, baby!” Niyakap ako nito nang mahigpit saka inamoy pa ang likod ng leeg ko.

“Gago, baka pag-isipan tayong mag-jowa sa ginagawa mo, Kate,” sita ko sa kanya habang nilalayo sya sa akin.

Palagi talaga syang clingy, at okay lang naman ako doon. But people do judge…

“Sorry! Namiss lang talaga kita.”

“Kahapon lang magkasama tayo?” nangunot ang noo ko.

Ngumirit lang sya. Nang papasok na kami ay nag-kwento sya. “’Yung kinukwento ko sa’yo na kuya ko… feeling ko hindi talaga siya a-attend sa debut ko,” lungkot-lungkotang saad nya.

“Tanga, may kapatid bang ganun?” inesmeran nya ako kaya tumawa ako. Nilapag ko ang plates na hawak ko saka naupo sa table. “Paniguradong darating ’yon. Hindi ka nun matitiis, Kate.”

“Eh, Dev… ang sabe nya sa akin sa tawag hindi daw sya a-attend!” maktol nya. Ginulo-gulo pa nya ang inuupuan nya na parang batang naagawan ng kendi.

“A-attend ’yon! Base naman sa kwento mo palagi tungkol sa kanya, umuuwi ’yon sa mga okasyon eh, kahit gaano pa ’yon ka-busy…”

“Eh iba ngayon! Mukhang tototohanin niyang hindi sya uuwi,” ngumuso siya.

“Baliw,” untag ko. Kung maka-asta itong kaibigan ko akala mo ay teenager. May bolbol na ’yan.

Fourth year college na kami at isang sem nalang ay magiging unemployed na ako.

“Eh kase—” nagpatuloy siyang mag-alburoto ngunit hindi na ako nakinig at nagkunwaring humihikab. Pinalo nya ako sa braso. Siya lang din ang nasaktan. “Aray! Grabe talaga biceps mo!”

I rolled my eyes. “Kate Beatriz, your brother would attend your wedding, don’t panic and don’t be hard to yourself.”

“Sige na nga, hindi na ako mangungulit tungkol sa kanya,” suko nya. Ilang sandali lang nang nagbunganga na naman siya. “Nga pala, kumusta si…”

Agad akong umalis sa kinauupuan at lumabas ng silid. Humabol sya sa akin.

“Hoy, wait, bitch!”

Nagtuloy lang ako, dumiretso ako pababa at nag-canteen. Bumili ako ng makakain ko saka humigop ng drinks, habang sya ay patuloy na pinepeste ako.

“Sorry na!” Inulit nya iyon nang tatlong beses. “Nadulas lang ako. Hindi ko na ulit sya babanggitin!”

Napabuntong hininga ako. I don’t wanna remember that bastard. He broke up with me… on the phone!

Tang ina nya!

Balita ko ay may bago nang pinalit sa akin ’yon. And take note, it’s a woman!

Nagpabango lang? After his coming out era last month, biglang straight ulit? I mean, he can be bisexual and I won’t budge. But telling the public he’s straight? On the press-con! Damn.

He just denied my existence.

Manigas sya.

Papasok na kami sa room namin nang mag-ring ang android nya.

She picked it up. “Hello?”

Comical ang pag-bilog ng mata nya kaya naman napatawa ako. This woman is fucking cute.

“You’re here?!” gulat na gulat na saad nya.

Nangunot ang noo ko. Is that his older brother?

Hindi na ako nagulat nang hilahin nya ako palabas nang gate. Sanay na ako.

Although we only got to know each other last year, sapat na iyon para maging malapit kami sa isa’t isa nitong babaitang ito. We clicked right away.

But not close enough to know that his older brother is fucking Caelan Valez.

The hell?! Seryoso?

It’s the Caelan Valez of Valez International?! ’Yung may-ari ng Hotel Empire na namamayagpag sa buong Pilipinas at sa labas?

Alam kong may kapatid siya, pero hindi ko inexpect na si Kate iyon.

Natulala ako nang lumabas sya sa Mercedes na nakasuot ng mamahaling suit and tie, and… is that Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos 561? Fuck. Tingin ko nilabasan agad ako.

I already seen his face online. But to see it personally… dang! The photos don’t give him justice.

He had styled hair that fell just over his brow, thick and combed. His eyes were stormy gray, his gaze sharp enough to cut anything. And then his high cheekbones gave his face a sculpted, aristocratic look. But he scowls a lot. Minsan lang syang ngumiti nang inasar sya ni Kate.

“Sabe mo hindi ka uuwi! Bukas na ’yon! Nakakainis ka, kuya!” maktol nito na pinalo palo pa ang dibdib nyang malapad.

“Babalik din ako sa Paris pagtapos ng debut mo, kaya ipunin mo ’yang inis mo,” saad nya. Ginulo nya ang buhok nito saka hinalikan sa noo ang kapatid. “I won’t be here for long, there’s press following me. I came here to announce my arrival and to greet you personally.”

“Thank you! You’re the best, kuya!” she hugged her brother. Sinuklian nito ang pagkayap nya. Nang kumalas si Kate ay mawalak ang ngiti sa labi nya.

“I gotta go, Soeur—”

Naputol ang sasabihin nya nang makita nya ako at magtama ang aming paningin. He saw me.

I mean, kanina pa ako dito? Ngayon nya lang ba ako nakita?

I saw how his eyes sparked. Napalunok ako. His stares are intense, like I’m being scanned from my head down to my feet.

Nangunot ang noo niya, and when Kate saw it, she introduced me. “Kaibigan ko, kuya. Denver Ong, same year and same course.”

Tumango ito, saka sinuri akong muli. Nang humakbang ito palapit, para akong nanlanta. His presence alone makes me weak. Nanuyo ang lalamunan ko. Fuck… hindi na ako teenager. I’m twenty three! Damn it.

“Hi, I’m Cael,” his baritone voice echoed in my head. Inilahad nya ang kamay nya.

Napalunok ako, ngunit imbes na maging tanga lang, kinuha ko iyon. Nang maglapat ang mga balat namin, may kuryenteng dumaloy sa buong katawan ko.

His hands are rough and veiny, proving his years of hardwork.

“Denver Ong, you can call me Dev…” I introduced myself in a formal way.

Ngumisi siya. And my cock convulsed.

What is that?

“Too long. I’ll call you mine ,” he statted it matter-of-factly.

Did he just… flirted with me? He’s gay?!

Tinanggal ko ang pagkakalapat ng mga palad namin.

I looked at Kate to confirm something, but then I saw how her eyes starting growing like an owl. She’s shocked, too.

Nang bumalik ang paningin ko kay Caelan, I saw how he memorize my face in his mind.

“Sorry, dude, I’m nobody’s property,” walang emosyon na sagot ko bago ako pumasok sa campus, iniwan syang nakakunot ang noo.

Ulol. Just because he’s a billionaire doesn’t mean I would fold. I’m contented with my money. My family may not own billion-dollar business empire, but I don’t get starved. It’s all that matters.

At saka… hindi ko sya type. Gwapo nga, suplado naman tignan. At ang balita ko nga ay suplado talaga ’yan, walang modo, walang respeto sa nakakasalamuha.

I know it’s public information, but then those information won’t spread without basis, right? Everyone is saying the same thing. He’s a fucking cold person.

Better not tangled up with people like him.

Sapat na na naging ex ko ang katulad nya. Never again…

Kinagabihan ay sobrang saya ni Kate habang nakikipag-kwentuhan sa akin sa FaceTime. Bukas na kase ang birthday nya at nakahanda na lahat ng preparasyon para doon. Maging ako ay may susuotin na rin.

I listened to her rant until ten, natigil lang kami nang tawagin sya para magsalo-salo silang mag-pamilya sa late night dinner kasama ang parents nya at ng kuya nya.

Bagot akong nagbabasa ng makapal na libro nang makatanggap ako ng mensahe sa phone ko.

Unknown number:

Talk to me, please…

Give me one last chance, babe.

Sige na, please 🥺

I’ll buy you a house in Miami, just talk to me. Please, babe, I’m begging you !

Mabilis pa sa alas-kwatrong blinock ko ang number na ’yon. Hindi ko na binigyan ng chance na tumawag.

I think I need to change my number. Pronto.

Chapter 2

DENVER

Pagkalabas ko sa kotse ko ay agad akong tinungo ang pagkalaki-laking hotel kung saan gaganapin ang birthday ng kaibigan ko.

Damn. Money talking…

I walked alone, when the guard ask for my invitation. Ibinigay ko iyon saka pumasok.

Pagpasok ko sa venue, una kong napansin ang taas ng ceiling. The space felt open and grand, almost double-height, with light bouncing off the smooth marble floor. Sa gitna, may tatlong chandeliers na punong-puno ng crystal drops, catching every bit of light and scattering it like small stars. It’s feels magical…

The walls were lined with soft cream panels and gold trim. Between them were tall glass windows na may view ng dagat sa labas.

The place was built for elegance — clear lines, balanced proportions, and details na hindi tinipid. Kahit ang placement ng mga mesa ay maayos, giving space for people to walk without feeling crowded.

My architecture mind cannot stop doing it’s own things. Sinusukat bawat lapad, laki at sukat ng mga nakikita ko.

I was about to go upstairs when someone bumped into me.

“Sorry,” baritonong boses ang humingi ng tawad sa akin. Nang lingunin ko iyon ay gwapong lalake na naman ang bumungad. I think he’s between Caelan’s age.

“Oh…” naikanta ko.

His dark hair had a soft blue shine under the lights, his eyes were a clear, bright blue. His skin was warm and sun-touched. He looks… stunning.

He wore a dark blue suit that fit him perfectly, the fabric smooth and rich. His shirt was dark grey, open at the collar, showing just enough to make you curious. Small, deep-blue stones gleamed on his cufflinks when he moved. Wow.

Napa-wow talaga ang itsura ko.

May dala siyang maliit na glass ng champagne, pero halatang hindi pa niya iniinom.

“Hey. First time here?” tanong niya.

“Yeah,” sagot ko. “Denver.”

“Marius,” pakilala niya, offering a quick handshake.

Nang magkamay kami ay mainit na palad ang natanggap ko.

He smirked. “Ano’ng sadya mo dito?”

Tumikhim ako. Inginuso ko ang itaas na floor. “My friend’s debut birthday,”

Lalo siyang gumwapo nang ngumiti sya nang mas malawak. “Kate’s” he asked and I nod. “Nice. Galing ako doon, bumaba lang para magpahangin. Ihatid na kita?”

I dunno what to say. But since he’s being gentleman, tumango na ako. “Sige, pre.”

“Pre…” bulong niya sa hangin, parang ayaw pa yatang ganun ang tawag ko sa kanya.

He could be a millionaire, and I wouldn’t budge. Ang relatives ng circle of friends ko before ay mga conglomerate kaya nasanay na rin ako makisalamuha.

“This way…” sinamahan nya ako sa elevator. Tapos nang makapasok kami ay pinindot nya iyon saka nagsimulang umakyat.

When the elevator opened, bunch of people greeted the view. Marami yatang i-invite si Kate sa kanyang kaarawan.

“Dev!” Pagkalabas ko palang ay sinalubong na agad ako ni Kate. She’s wearing a pink dress, magarbo iyon kaya nahirapan syang tumakbo. But that didn’t stop her. “Ang gwapo mo omg! Oh, hi kuya Marius! Bakit magkasama kayo?”

“We meet on the first floor,” sagot nya. He seems friendly to anyone. “He’s nice.”

“Kailan magi-start ang event?” tanong ko kay Kate, bumeso siya sa akin na ginantihan ko.

“Hinihintay nalang namin si kuya, wala pa kase siya…”

I smiled, but deep down I was judging his brother. Pa-importante.

“Okay.”

“Maiwan ko muna kayo, Kate… Dev… nakita ko na kase ’yung hinahanap ko.” paalam ni Marius.

Nang makaalis sya ay nag-usap kami ni Kate saka tumungo sa isang table. Ilang sandali lang nang umalis siya dahil mukhang magi-start na ang event. Dumiretso sya doon sa isang room.

Printi akong nakaupo at nagi-scroll sa Instagram nang may tumabi sa bakanteng upuan sa tabi ko.

I looked at a tall, handsome guy, wearing a black tux with a shiny lapel.

“Hi,” I greeted him when he looked at me. But he looks… serious.

Pero tumabi sya sa akin eh. Sa dami nang upuan, sa tabi ko talaga. Ibig sabihin may pakay ’to. Socializing? O kaya naman ay naawa sa akin kase wala akong kausap? Lol.

Hindi naman kami close ng parents ni Kate dahil palaging nasa business trip ang mga iyon and we didn’t get to have a chance to be that close. So parang ano lang ako dito… unwelcome? I can’t point it out. Basta I felt isolated.

My status might be the reason why nobody is speaking with me.

Nabalik ako sa reyalidad nang magsalita ang estranghero.

“Zevran,” pagpapakilala niya. Hindi siya naglahad ng kamay.

“Dev,” aniko. Tumango lang siya saka ibinalik ang tingin sa harap namin, sa stage. Nagsisimula na ang pagpapakilala ng emcee. Kate is now on the middle of the stage. Lahat ay nagpalakpakan nang magsalita sya.

“Good evening, everyone. First of all, thank you for coming tonight. I know we all have busy schedules, so it really means a lot to see you here on my special day. To my friends, my parents, and those who are close to me… thank you,” She spoke up full of happiness confidence, and a joyful smile. “And of course, thank you to my kuya, Caelan… for making this night possible. Actually, for making it this extravagant. Kuya, you really didn’t have to, but I guess you always do things big.”

That’s when I saw Caelan.

Nakasuot siya ng dark navy tuxedo na hapit sa kanyang matipunong katawan. Broad shoulders, makinis ang bagsak ng tela. Ang undershirt niya ay crisp white, pero bahagyang bukas ang unang dalawang butones, sapat lang para magpakita ang matipunong dibdib.

May manipis na silver chain na kumikislap sa ilalim ng ilaw… sa bulsa ng tux, may nakaipit na silk pocket square na kulay asul. He styled his hair too.

“Hello, everyone. Thank you for attending my sister’s birthday celebration. I am thankful in behalf for the efforts and time you spend just to witness her special day…” When he speak up, everybody listened. He has this confidence and authority that he carries around the room. Nagpatuloy siya, “That’s all. I hope you all enjoy your time in here. Hallelujah!”

He kissed his sister on the check, then went down… straight to me.

Nang nasa harap ko na sya, huminto sya para lang magpantay ang mukha ko at ang bulge nya. Inis akong nag-angat ng tingin.

Nakangisi siyang nakayuko sa akin nang magtama ang tingin namin. And then he looked at Zevran.

“You knew each other, Zev?” he asked.

Umiling si Zevran. “We just met.”

Tama nga ako. Magkakilala sila, and they seem very close at that.

“Sure,” Tumango ito saka umalis sa harap ko, ngunit nayamot ako nang umupo ito sa kabila ko.

Bakit ba dito sila sumisiksik sa akin?

Hindi ko na nagawang mag-reklamo nang magsimula nang lumipat ang tugtog, hudyat na gaganapin na ang eighteenth roses and such.

When music shifted, Kate went to the center. She was wearing her gown that caught the light every time she moved. The fabric looked soft and flowing, with small beads that shimmered. On her head was a small tiara.

At that moment, the whole venue seemed to frame her like the main subject of a picture.

After bumaba ni Kate sa hagdan, tuloy-tuloy ang palakpakan. The host started the program — eighteen roses, eighteen candles, heartfelt speeches.

Isa ako sa mga nag-abot ng rosas sa kanya. Konting mensahe lang ang ibinato ko dahil wala na akong maisip e. Kasunod ko ang iba pang invitee. Parents nya, ilang guests na special sa kanya, saka mga gwapong nilalang. I mean… those who speaks money, power, and fame. Hindi lang sina Zevran at Marius ang dumalo, maging ang ilang bachelors din.

I saw how women gasped for air nang isa-isang nagbigay ng roses ang mga ito. Mga gwapo ba naman at wala pang asawa, syempre sinong hindi kikiligin?

Syempre ako.

Lalo na nang panghuling nag-abot ng rosas ay si Caelan. I admit that he’s fucking hot, siguro ay kung hindi ako galing sa break up ay baka nahumaling na rin ako.

Pero hindi pa naghihilom ang sugat ko e. Isama mo pa na naiirita ako da presensya nya.

When the night flaws little by little, unti-unti na ring nagsi-uwian ang mga bisita.

Marius at Zevran eventually drifted away para makihalubilo sa ibang guests, so naiwan akong mag-isa sa gilid, hawak ang isang baso ng tubig.

Kate is now dancing with someone I don’t know. Must be her suitor.

The smell of the food was heavy in the air. Truffle pasta, roast beef, fresh seafood on ice. The lighting above reflected on the polished marble floor, halos nakaka-distract sa mata.

Everyone was busy.

Then I noticed Caelan moving through the crowd. Tall, commanding, every step he takes are breathtaking. I don’t know why I hold my breath.

Nagtagpo ang mga mata namin. Before I could look away, he was already standing in front of me.

“You looked lost,” tinabingi nya ang ulo saka tinaasan ako ng kilay.

“You looked like someone who would ruin my night,” I said sarcastically.

Tumaas ang sulok ng labi nya. Saka sya dumungaw at inilagay ang bibig sa aking taenga. His hot breath gives goosebumps to my body. Lalo na nang nagsalit sya.

“The only thing I would ruin if I got the chance… is your ass.”

I shuddered. Nagsalubong ang kilay ko, ngunit nang mapansin na may ilang mata ang sinusuri kami, bumuntong hininga ako, saka naglakad patungo sa isang madilim na parte. “Follow me.”

I don’t know if he followed, and I don’t care. Basta kapag hindi sya sumunod, magi-stay ako sa madilim na parte so that nobody could disturb me.

Nang makarating ako ay napangisi ako nang mapansing parang aso syang sumusunod sa akin.

“What do you want, Mr. Valez? You keep flirting with me. Do you want something from me? Information? Connection? Kase kung oo, parehong wala ako noon.” Nilabas ko lahat ng gusto kong sabihin. “At isa pa, as far as I know, you’re a womanizer… you don’t look… gay?”

He licked his lips, saka nya pinasadahan ng kamay ang buhok, bago nya ako kinorner ng magkabilaang braso nya sa pader. Damn. This position feels dangerous. I feel vulnerable.

Sinubukan kong alisin iyon, ngunit masyado syang malakas. His strength is fucking out of my command.

Napahigop ako nang malalim na hininga nang dumungaw sya sa aking baba saka halikan ako roon. Pakiramdam ko malalagutan ako ng hininga.

“You know… The only thing that gives me boner are women and their pussy…” he said in his husky voice. Nanginig ako nang ituon nya ang labi sa aking taenga at kagatin iyon.

“C-Caelan…” Nanghihina ang boses ko.

“But ever since I laid my eyes on you. I keep thinking bad things, Denver Ong… bad things…” ipinasada nya ang kamay sa aking bewang hanggang makarating iyon sa pang-upo ko. “I am not gay… before. But I think I am now… or bi.. or anything… but all I know is — I want you. I want your lips, I want your body… I want your ass…”

Lahat ng lumalabas sa bibig nya ay parang mga piston na tumatama sa dibdib ko. It feels surreal, but it makes my insides go wild.. I’m starting to have a boner.

Nagpatuloy siya, “I wanna fuck you right now. Look what you have done,” he grind his bulge on my own. And damn, I can feel how fucking thick it is inside his pants. “But no, I think I need to get to your heart first, before I went to your pants…”

Every word he said could make every person lose their minds. But I fought.

I can’t… I can’t be with him. Hindi pa ako gaanong nakaka-move on kay Alaric. I need to fix my emotions first.

I pushed him away. But when he didn’t budge, sumubo nalang ako. Bumuntong hininga ako saka nagsalita. “Fine. Do what you want. Win my heart. But in one condition.”

He pushed back. His eyes narrowed slightly, not angry, more… curious. Then he stepped back, hands in his pockets, a short laugh escaping.

“And what is that?” sinakyan nya ang sinabe ko.

I scowled. “Court me. In public, and in private.”

If one thing I learned about my past relationship with my ex. Is that billionaires are fucking cowards. They won’t tell the world they are queer. They would hide their sexuality in the shadows. They would pretend to be someone they’re not.

I almost believe Caelan would reject my offer. But then I got shocked when he agreed.

“That’s it? So easy…” he stepped back and crossed his arms. Sinuri nya ang kabuohan ko, saka napukol iyon sa aking likuran. “Ready your ass. I would destroy it once you’re mine.”
