Daniel laughed as soon as he felt my trembling body because of what he had said. Kaagad ko siyang pinalo sa braso, pero napahiga lang siya sa kama habang tawang-tawa parin.

Daniel looked at me with amusement in his eyes. “You should see your face, Haven. It’s cute,” he teased, and he burst into laughter.

I glared at him and shouted at him while hitting him in the chest with my hands. “Damn you, Daniel! ”

Tuwang-tuwa naman ang lalaki sa ginawa ko, habang hinuhuli ang kamay ko. I could feel the heat rising on my cheeks from his relentless teasing. It was infuriating! Daniel finally stopped laughing, wiping the tears from his eyes.

“But what if? What if, Haven, I did something to you? Would you like it?”He asked, and his tone suddenly got serious.

I stared at him, trying to gauge if he was joking or not. His question made my heart skip a beat. Would I like it? I really do enjoy his touch. Sometimes I find myself craving more, but what if he actually did something?

Napakurap at napasinghap ako nang ipasok ni Daniel ang kamay niya sa damit ko. Nakaupo parin ako sa ibabaw niya dahil sa biglaang paghiga niya.

Napaupo si Daniel, habang hindi inaalis ang tingin saakin. Humigpit naman ang pagkakahawak ko sa braso niya nang pisilin niya ang magkabilang gilid ng tyan ko.

I opened my mouth slightly, gasping as his fingers moved down my chest. “Do you like it? Should I go further, Francheska?”He spoke in a deep, husky voice.

His fingers explored my chest, then glided down to my stomach, leaving me breathless.

“Fuck, Daniel,” I muttered, biting my lip as his hand wandered up my thigh to my waist.

Naka-dress lang naman, kasi ako dahil alam kong sa yate kami. Hindi ko naman aakalain na ganitong mangyayari.

“Hmm, I can see that you really like it, Haven,” he said, his voice both seductive and teasing. Damn.

“'Yun nga lang, kung ako ba o si Baste,”

His words made me tighten my grip on his shirt. Kaagad akong napaiwas ng tingin kay Daniel at tumayo tsaka tumalikod sa kanya.

“Don't walk away like that, baby.”

I gasped as he pulled me back again, causing me to stumble into his lap. Nakatalikod ako sa kanya, his hands exploring around my body, and it's shameless of me that I didn’t even try to stop him.

I gasped as I felt his hardening groin pressing against my thighs. “Fuck. You’re making me aroused, baby,” he whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

“D-Daniel,” I called out to him. My heart’s pounding so fast; hindi ko na alam kung bakit. Sa kaba ba? Sa pananabik? Halo-halo na ang nararamdaman ko. Daniel and I have been teasing each other, but not to the point of hahantong sa ganito.

I felt his lips brushing against my neck as he moved my long hair aside. He wasn’t kissing my neck, just grazing it, which only heightened the intimacy between us.

“Hmm. Sorry, Haven. But I can’t let you go to Sebastian. I’m obsessed with your kisses, your touch, everything about you. Feeling this way only makes me realize that I need you more than anything.”

His words shocked me. Was he confessing his feelings right now?

“Do you even love me?” I asked, the question escaping my lips before I could stop it.

“Hmm, I’m not sure about love. But I go crazy over you, Haven,” he admitted, his voice low and filled with desire.

I furrowed my brows in confusion, but my body ached as Daniel pulled me even closer. I let out a soft moan as I felt his hardening groin pressing against me. The sensation was overwhelming. Why did it feel like this? Nagiging malandi na ba ako?

“I could give you more than he can, Haven. Why don’t you choose me instead? Just me.”

I closed my eyes as Daniel continued to explore my neck. He unclasped my bra and started massaging my breasts gently, making me feel good in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

“You like it?”He asked, but I didn’t respond, too absorbed in the sensations he was causing.

“I guess so. Your body speaks louder than your voice, my beloved Haven,” he said with a seductive edge.

Fuck. I was deeply trapped in his game now, unable to escape the powerful allure of his touch and the intensity of his words.

“Spread your legs for me, Haven,” Daniel whispered in a sultry tone. Despite his insistence, I kept my legs together, hesitating in a mix of anxiety and desire, although I feel like I’m getting wet as he continues his touch into my body. I like it. I like how he touches me.

“We should stop, Daniel,” I managed to say, my voice quivering.

Daniel’s soft chuckle resonated in my ear. “We haven’t even started yet, baby. Stop? God, I want to take you right now.”

His touch, previously tender, grew more assertive. I gasped as he spread my legs wider and began to explore me with his fingers. Each touch sent waves of pleasure through my body, causing me to tremble uncontrollably.

Leaning back against him, I felt as though I was being lifted to another realm by his touch—an overwhelming sensation that made me question if I was truly in heaven.

“D-Daniel,” I whispered breathlessly, my voice barely audible over the intensity of the moment.

My breathing became rapid, and I could feel the tension in my body escalating.

“Yes, baby?”He responded, his lips brushing against my neck as he continued to kiss me.

I instinctively placed my feet on the edge of the bed, giving him more access to me.

“Ahhh!” I moaned loudly as the intensity peaked, but Daniel quickly covered my mouth with his hand, making me silent and not to be heard by the others. This is insane.

I cursed him silently, my mind racing with frustration as my body arched and writhed in response to his relentless touches.

“Damn you, damn you, Daniel!” I hissed, my frustration evident in my voice.

Tumawa lang si Daniel at hinalikan ang leeg ko, kasabay non ang paglalaro niya sa hinaharap ko at sa hiyas ko.

“Fuck. Daniel, more please.” Pagmamakaawa ko sa kanya nang bagalan niya ang paglalabas pasok sa loob ko. Halos hindi ko na makilala ang sarili ko nang magmakaawa ako sa kanya, para lang mas lalo akong painitin sa mga haplos niya sa akin.

“Now my baby's asking for more,” he teased, his voice dripping with both desire and mischief. I felt the rush of my blood towards my face. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagkahiya nang sabihin ko iyon at marinig iyon kay Daniel.

 “Later, baby. That can wait, right? Baka hinahanap na nila tayo.”

“Palabasin mo muna, damn you, Daniel. Please, argh!” I pleaded, my frustration mixing with my pleasure. Malapit na ako e! Papalabas na. Shit. My innocence is now gone because of this unbelievable guy! Yet, I like it.

“Malapit na ako e! Fuck you!”He laughed, his amusement clear despite the intensity of the situation.

“Alright, alright,” he said, his fingers thrusting inside me with renewed urgency, as I had begged. His pace quickened, matching the rhythm of my desperate pleas.

“Ahhh! Ahhh!” I moaned softly, my voice muffled by his hand.

“Keep your voice lower, Haven,” he instructed, his breath hot and heavy against my ear.

Napailing ako. “I-I can't. Ahhh!”

My body moved in tandem with his rhythmic thrusts. “Ahh, fuck,” Daniel swore under his breath as he increased his speed, especially as I moved against him to feel his arousal more deeply.

“Damnit, Haven,” he groaned, his voice thick with desire.

“I’m coming...” I gasped, my voice barely a whisper as the pleasure overwhelmed me.

Despite my climax, Daniel’s fingers continued their relentless pace, pushing me toward another peak. I grasped his hand desperately, trying to signal for him to stop.

My body shook uncontrollably, and my breathing became shallow and uneven. Exhausted and overwhelmed, I leaned heavily against Daniel, feeling utterly drained from the intensity of our encounter.

“How was it?” He asked teasingly.

Napairap ako habang hinahabol parin ang paghinga. Nakasandal parin ako sa katawan ni Daniel.

Niyakap niya naman ako, tsaka niya hinalikan ang pisngi ko. “I want you, Haven. Can we make it official?” He asked.

Napatingin naman ako sa kanya at kita sa kanyang mga mata na nagsasabi siya ng totoo.

“Do you love me?” I asked once again.

“Does it really matter?”He shot back. I scoffed and stood up, pero masyado pang nanginginig ang mga tuhod ko para tuluyang makatayo ng maayos.

Napatayo din si Daniel para alalayan ako. “It is Daniel. You can't own me just because of your desires.”

“Then,” his breathing becoming heavy, “do you want me to fuck you without a label? What do you want? A fuck buddies?”

My lips parted as he said that. He's unbelievable!

“What am I supposed to do when I'm falling for you?” I asked, my breathing becoming shallow.

Nakita ko sa kanyang mga mukha ang pagkagulat niya. Kumunot ang noo niya, tila nagtataka.

Does he not really expect that? Anong akala niya, hindi ako mahuhulog sa mga small yet sweet gestures, niya? Sa mga salita na alam kong peke lang naman, pero nahulog parin ako sa kanya?

“Don't mind it,” I said, turning my back on him and going inside the bathroom to change.

Sobrang lakas ng puso ko. Did I really say that to him? Fuck, Haven. You're a mess. A really big mess. Feeling hurt because even after six months of being with him… Hindi ba talaga siya nahulog sa akin?

Nang matapos kong magbihis ay pagkalabas ko wala na roon si Daniel. I scoffed. Feeling shitty about what happened today.

Sabi na e. Hindi talaga magandang ideya ang humiga kami sa iisang kama. I know Daniel is just a teaser; we've been in a fake relationship for six months. Kahit na sabihin kong may pagtingin ako kay Sebastian; hindi ko mapigilang mahulog kay Daniel, lalo na't sobrang sweet niya saakin; kahit na sobrang palaasar niyang tao.

Am I really falling for him? Will he catch me, though? Or will it be one-sided love?
