Chapter 4

Erika put on a dress, with just light makeup, and walked towards the venue. In the auditorium, Logan glanced at the message on his phone. Galing iyon kay Erika at tila ba buo na ang desisyon nito base sa text message.

A beam of light suddenly lit up on the stage, hitting Erika, who was wearing a white dress. She was holding a violin in her hand. Nakadagdag ang ilaw na tumapat sa kanyang ganda. Para siyang isang anghel na bumaba sa lupa kahit pa simple lang ang kanyang ayos.  She wasn't as seductive as she was in bed, nor was she as pure as she was just now.

Hindi na nailayo ni Logan ang tingin niya kay Erika. Tila ba lalo lamang napako ang kanyang mga mata sa babae dahil sa taglay nitong ganda. She was ethereal. Her fox eyes were so captivating along with her smile, but there was still a hint of coldness in her. Napaayos ng upo si Logan nang tuluyang pumikit si Erika. Damn, this woman looks so noble, he thought to himself.

She gently leaned on the violin body, raising her hand to pull the strings. Sa isang iglap ay nabalot ng napakagandang tunog ang buong auditorioum na nagmumula kay Erika.

Teachers who can enter this kind of school must have a lot of skills. Naisip na ni Logan kanina na propesyonal ngang tao si Erika, ngunit hindi pumasok sa kanyang isip na higit pa roon ang kayang gawin ng babae. 

"You can't tell Teacher Larson’s violin skills are so good.” Komento ng isa sa mga parents na nasa tabi ni Logan.

Tumikhim siya habang nag-iigting ang kanyang panga.

“Generally, there is still a lot of room for improvement. She shouldn't just stay in her comfort zone. She should strive even harder because he's teaching at a prestigious school,” komento niya. Hindi niya mawari kung bakit naiirita siya.

His gaze focused on Erika even more. The image of her hugging his neck like a little girl while they were on his bed keeps on playing in his mind while he was watching her. Totoong magaling si Teacher Larson, at pakiramdam ni Logan ay siya lang dapat ang makakita ng bagay na iyon.

Ito ang unang beses niyang nakita ito na ganito ang kasuotan. She looks like a white fairy as if she was so pure. That dress hugged her slender body so tightly that anyone who saw her would be captivated.

Logan cleared his dry throat. He knew he couldn't restrain himself at this point, especially when it came to Erika.

Ang mabigat na titig na iyon ni Logan ay agad na naramdaman ni Erika mula sa kanyang kaibuturan. Nang matapos ang kanta ay saka lamang niya minulat ang kanyang mga mata. There, she saw the man in the first row under the stage, his extremely aggressive eyes fell on her face. Hindi niya iyon iniwasan.

The audience burst into applause, including the rich and powerful people. Maririnig sa auditorium ang papuri ng mga ito kay Teacher Larson at kung gaano ito kagaling. She’s not only a professional violinist, but his skills are not inferior to those of musicians.

Erika  took the curtain call with her young students and distributed handmade gifts prepared by the children to each parent. Isa iyon sa mga nais niyang matutunan ng mga bata habang lumalaki ang mga ito.

Nang matapos ang mini event na iyon ay isa-isa nang umuwi ang mga magulang na umattend kasama ang kani-kanilang mga anak nang may ngiti sa labi.

Erika heaved a deep sigh. Nairaos na niya ang event na ito na ilang araw din niyang pinaghandaan at pinroblema dahil sa takot na baka hindi maging maayos ang kalalabasan. She took off her decorative earrings and walked towards the dressing room while humming the song she played.

Bubuksan na sana niya ang pintuan ng dressing room nang bigla na lamang may humila sa kanya. Napasigaw siya roon dahil sa gulat at takot at agad siyang tumama sa matigas na dibdib ng kung sino mang tao ito. Ramdam niya ang pagdausdos ng matigas nitong braso sa kanyang baywang.

A trace of annoyance flashed across her face when she looked up and saw Logan.

“Ano ba? Bitawan mo ako,” mariin niyang bulong sa lalaki.

The hands around her waist tightened.

“Really, huh? You don’t even say that in bed, Teacher Larson. What happened now?” Logan’s hot breath is fanning behind her ear, “I can clearly remember you moaning while asking for more, baby. Do you want to know what I was thinking while you were playing that damn violin, hmm?”

Agad na uminit ang pisngi ni Erika dahil sa kahihiyang nararamdaman. Hindi niya alam kung paano sila nagkasya sa fitting room na ito, ngunit ramdam na ramdam niya ang matayog na katawan ni Logan na paulit-ulit na kumikiskis sa kanyang katawan. 

She cleared her throat and hardened her expression when her gaze met his savage eyes.

“Mr. Vallejo, I told you we need to…” 

Logan’s  fingers quickly covered her soft lips before she could continue what she was about to say. Bumaba ang tingin niya sa babae. Erika in his arms smelled soft and fragrant, and even the lips he had never touched were so soft that it made his heart palpitate.

“Silence, baby. Someone is coming…” namamaos niyang bulong.

Erika’s eye widened and she straightened up her body. She was about to push Logan away from her, but he quickly caught her and lifted her above his head. Hindi siya makasigaw dahil sa takot na baka may makahuli sa kanila!

The man's lips landed behind her ear without any warning. Logan gently licked Erika’s earlobe which made her gasp in awe.

“Damn it. You are so sexy and stunning that I want to hide you from anyone. I want you to cry and moan only my name. Over and over again…” Logan whispered in his hoarse voice.
