Chapter 3

He grinned at both Arden and me. "Oops. Sorry, lovers, I didn't mean to interrupt." And he laughed.

Arden and Aiden moved away from me, still laughing and giving each other high-fives.

I smiled at what I was witnessing. I was happy to see them back to their old bond. Well, they are twins after all. But then, a thought slowly crept back into my mind, the memory of the intense rivalry and almost killing each other-

I closed my eyes tightly and held my forehead. I had a headache. "Babe?" I slowly opened my eyes and immediately saw Arden's concerned face. I hadn't even noticed that he had come close to me.

"Are you okay?" I smiled at him and nodded. I changed the topic.

"Food is ready, let's eat." And even though I was forcing myself since it was embarrassing for me, considering it was still Aiden's house, I called out to him to join us. "Aiden, let's eat!"

"Babe, maybe we can have it tomorrow? It's already seven PM!" I said to Arden. His secretary, Tiffany, called him and said there was an emergency at the office regarding the accounting department.

But due to his hurry, that was the only reason he told me for why he needed to go to the office.

He kissed my forehead, and as we had become accustomed to, we held hands as we descended to the first floor of Aiden's house and went to the garage.

"Can't it really wait until tomorrow, Babe?" I asked Arden with sadness evident in my voice, hoping he might change his mind and postpone dealing with the accounting department issue.

"If only it could, Babe..." He let out a sigh.

"Arden, Babe..." I kissed him on the lips and messed up his hair.

"I'll try to go home as soon as possible, Babe." And he finally got into his car and left Aiden's house. I let out a sigh and wished he could stay longer.

If only I could go back to our house and spend time there until Arden arrived. But unfortunately, the burned part of our house was our bedroom and the living room.

I couldn't stay in the kitchen, the dirty kitchen, or even the bathroom! I sighed. I'm stuck! I'm stuck with Aiden tonight! For sure, it will be a long, long night for the two of us! And speaking of the Devil, the hot Devil shall appear!

"Hmm... it's only me and you tonight, Amber, baby. Want to play?" He licked my neck.

"I'm not a child to play games! If you want to play, do it alone! Goodnight!" I stormed into his house, but as I was about to go upstairs, he grabbed my arm.

"Urgh! Aiden, leave me alone!" I tried to retrieve my hand from his grip, but he held me tightly.

"Fine! I'll bite your hand." And I lowered my upper body to bite his arm, but he moved so quickly that I found myself being lifted like a sack of rice.

"Put me down! Where are you taking me?!" I yelled at him and kept hitting his back.

"Urgh! Amber, stop it!" He scolded me as I continued to hit his back.

"Amber!" He called my name, but I ignored him and intensified my hitting on his back.

"Stop it, or I'll tie your hands and eat your pussy until you're sore!" He threatened me. I got scared and nervous. I knew Aiden, and I knew he would actually do what he said, but because I was annoyed with him, I continued punching and scratching his back.

I let out a scream as he dropped me onto the large sofa in his entertainment room and then he straddled me.

"Get off me! Get off me, you devil!" I tried to push him away, but he caught my hand and used his other hand to place it above my head.

I struggled and wriggled my body to get him off, but a chilling sensation ran through me when I heard his next words.

"Stay still or I'll fuck you!" My body froze, and I stopped resisting. He grinned at me and kissed my lips. I didn't fight back. I was afraid of what he might do.

I don't want to lose my virginity yet! That's what I kept telling myself repeatedly, but my body wanted something different. I didn't even notice when Aiden briefly left me on the sofa.

"Aiden, it hurts!" I complained as he tightly bound both my hands and tied them to the headrest of the sofa. He secured them tightly, and I winced in pain every time I tried to free myself.

He looked at me seriously. "Who fucking told you to kiss Arden?" His shout echoed throughout the house, and the fear it instilled in me made my eyes involuntarily shut in terror.

"Answer me, Amberine Monteverde!" His voice boomed throughout the house, and with his voice so loud and terrifying, I couldn't even take a breath. I wanted to pretend that I had passed out!

I slowly opened my eyes, and his deadly gaze met mine.

"You have two minutes to explain before I fuck you hard." His face and demeanor were dark, clearly showing that he didn't like what had happened earlier. I had already said it before; it was a mistake to agree to stay here with Arden.

Out of fear, I didn't know how to start. No words came out of my mouth. "Your silence makes me think you really want me to fuck you."

I winced as he slipped his hand into my shorts. I bit my lower lip and gathered all my strength to respond. "Please..."

Almost on the verge of tears, I pleaded with him as he inserted two of his fingers inside me. It hurt! "Hmm... fucking tight," he said, quickly pulling them out and then inserting them back in. It hurt! I didn't want this! And then tears started to flow.

His eyes were fixated on me, and there was no escape from his gaze. My tears continued to flow, and the anger in his expression gradually softened as he watched my tears. His fingers were still in his mouth, sucking the wetness that came from me.

"Why did you kiss him?" This time, his question was calmer. I couldn't help but look at him. He had calmed down. As I stared at him, memories of the old Aiden flooded back.

The Aiden who was kind, who didn't know how to get angry, and most importantly—the scent of his breath that I couldn't help but find addicting. It was the feeling of being the only two people existing in the world. "Baby, tell me why," he said softly, his forehead touching mine. I could feel his breath as our lips began to dry up.

"Aiden..." I closed my eyes as our lips pressed together.

"Why did you do that? You shouldn't have done that..." I softly questioned Aiden as he told me that he instructed Jared—his personal assistant—to hack into the accounting department's files to create confusion among Castle's accountants regarding the mall sales for today.

It was almost New Year, and with the large number of people, there was a substantial influx of money into Castle. Now, the accounting department was back to square one, trying to reconcile the sales from this morning. It was extremely challenging, considering that not just millions but billions of pesos were involved during the holiday season. He scratched his head and then embraced me, burying his face in my neck and inhaling my scent.

He had already released my hands from being tied. There were slight bruises on my arms from my earlier futile attempts to break free. "It's your first night here at my place. I want to have alone time with you."

I let out a sigh. "You can have alone time with me on another day." I responded calmly. I didn't want us to shout and fight, so I tried to calm myself down before we talked. He sighed as well.

"I want it tonight, not tomorrow or next time."

"But, Aiden-"

"Amber, I don't want to argue." He said firmly. I didn't respond and we remained silent, with him holding me from behind as I leaned against his chest.

He slowly laid me down on the sofa and positioned himself over me. "Aiden," I took his hand and embraced him tightly around the neck.

"We might get caught by Arden." I said, and he brought his face closer to mine.

"The problem that I caused won't be fixed by Arden until tomorrow morning." I sighed and closed my eyes, allowing him to kiss me again, which I reciprocated. I also held onto his neck with my hands.

We were both breathless when our lips finally parted. He touched our foreheads together and then he carried me to the bedroom where Arden and I were staying.

"I'll fuck you here." He grinned at me. "I'll fuck you here, so whenever you and Arden do something sweet, you'll immediately remember how I fucked you hard here." He kissed me again.

I chose not to pay attention to his words and simply surrendered to the sensations that Aiden was providing. He kissed me fully on my lips, down to my neck. He sucked and nibbled on every part of my neck.

"Aiden, please... don't leave any marks. Arden might see them." Thankfully, Aiden was now more reasonable. His hands roamed towards my breasts.

I struggled to control my breathing as he slowly lifted my t-shirt and unhooked my bra at the same time. "Oh my God." I was about to cover my breasts when he lowered both of my hands and placed them on the headrest.

He gave me a trail of kisses from my lips down to my neck until he reached the center of my breasts. I held my breath and closed my eyes tightly as I felt the warmth of his mouth on my left breast. I couldn't help but moan. I wanted to pull his hair so that he would bury his head deeper into my breast. And then he moved his mouth to my right breast, releasing my hands in the process.
