"You said you were thankful of me for giving you a fantastic morning?" sabi niya sa gitna ng halikan.He hummed. "Yeah" Sinilid nito ang kamay sa loob ng t-shirt at dahil wala siyang suot na panloob, walang kahirap-hirap na nahawakan nito ang hiyas niya at hinagod ang basang biyak niya.She moaned. "Then can you compensate me?"He groaned in approval as he felt her wetness. "With my body? Sure."She pushed him away. "No, I want to eat."His eyes expanded. "You want to eat me?"She laughed. He's cute. "Food, Lucien. I'm hungry. Wala na bang ibang laman yang utak mo kundi kabastusan?"He pouted. "I thought, you'll eat me."She also lamented. "I'm really hungry. You didn't let me finish my meal last night and you even tire me out."She honestly felt a bit sore but she was satisfied beyond belief. But she won't say that to him.Guilty, he sighed in surrender. "Okay, I'll cook us breakfast. I think the food last night are still on the table by now."Umiling siya at natawa ng mahina. "Mala
Lucien's tree house has everything to offer. Gaya ng studio nito, kompleto din sa gamit sa loob. May dalawang bedroom at mini library pa nga. Sa living room siya pumunta dahil nakita niyang may access 'yon papunta sa malaking balcony.Binuksan niya ang salamin na sliding door at lumabas sa balcony. Kaagad siyang napangiti sa magandang tanawin sa sumalubong sa kanyang paningin. Oh, how she loves balconies.May nakahilerang foldable reclining chairs doon sa labas at may coffee table. It's an ideal place to stay still, reflect and relax. Mula sa balcony, kitang-kita niya ang malawak na view ng property. May nakita pa siyang campfire spot na nasa labas ng cabin. Napansin niyang sumunod sa kanya si Lucien sa balcony. "I'd like to stay here for a while" aniya.Hinayaan naman siya ni Lucien at tahimik na umupo ito sa gilid ng recliner. Sinandal niya ang likod sa railing saka tinignan ang binata ng may halong pagtataka. Kanina niya pa napapansin na tahimik ito. "May problema ba?" Kiming
She said to let go of the nightmares, and not forget. Let go. That was a very realistic thing to say and Lucien found comfort in those words. He would never forget that night and he'd been keeping that memory since that very night. Like a pest, it's been coming back, visiting him in his sleep, making him remember the horrendous tragedy he witnessed. He blamed himself for that tragedy. He blamed himself for being a coward shxt, for being weak and unable to do anything helpful when his family was suffering at the hands of those bastards.His family were always been proud of him because he was smart and gifted. But his knowledge couldn't do anything when they were being killed. The only thing he could do that night was to hide and watch them die one by one. The memory was still fresh like it just happened yesterday. The screams of his mom and his grandparents. How his father and older brother tried to fight back. How the sharp knife stabbed his mother's stomach and back multiple times.
Walang pakialam si Misha kung nakailang babae na si Lucien sa buhay nito. Gusto niya lang talaga malaman kung may active sex life ito bago siya umeksena. It was a genuine curious question. Basi kasi sa itsura ng binata, ito yung tipo na hindi masyadong lapitin ng babae. Lucien has an intimidating presence, no weak and easily-frightened woman can approach him. He has that aura of a gang boss or a mafia Don. Just like those people who are at the top of food chain. If she was a stranger and she saw Lucien for the first time, her first impression of him would be a very dangerous handsome man. Yung titignan mo lang sa malayo pero hindi mo lalapitan. Yung maglalaway ka sa tingin pero hindi mo titikman.During Dale's wedding, may iilang matapang na babae na lumapit dito, hindi nga lang swinerte na makuha ang atensyon nito pabalik. Lucien always maintained a safe distance. Base on what she observed, he was not the kind of man who jump on a woman who spread their legs voluntarily for him.
Habang naghihintay ng delivery, kumakain sila ng ice cream ni Lucien saka nanunuod ng movie. "I know you are a softie despite that formidable body but this movie is a bit..."Nakanguso na tinignan siya ng masama ni Lucien. "Bakit? Is there something wrong with my choice of movies?"Lihim siyang napangiti. "Wala naman, kung fu panda," aniya na umiiling."Baby, kung fu panda is a good movie."Tumango siya. "Yes, I know that. But how many times have we watched this?" Simula pa nung nasa L.A sila, minsan nanunuod sila ng movies as a pastime. Lucien's choices of movies are quite unique. He likes animated movies such as kung fu panda, how to train your dragon, coco, the book of life, the croods at marami pang iba. "It's part three! We only watched part three once."She laughed lowly seeing him all defensive. "Yeah, sure."He frowned at her and continue to mumble gibberish. She just shook her head and let him be.Maya-maya pa dumating na ang delivery na hinatid ng security na nagbabantay s
"It's a feasible plan"Sabi ni Eveline nang ihayag nila ni Lucien ang planong pagpapanggap bilang sindikato para mang-sabotahe ng mga transactions. Nasa headquarters pa rin sila at nag-uusap sa isang conference room.Eveline added, "But you need a team."Tumingin siya sa dalawang kausap. "Kung wala silang mission sa mga oras na 'to, I suggest them.""Who?" Magkasabay na tanong ni Lucien at Eveline.Nilapag niya sa lamesa ang hawak na folder na naglalaman ng profile ng mga kaibigan ni Zephyra. Namely: Cedric, Dale, Gio and Francis.Lucien glanced at her with his brows furrowed. "But you said the spy is among them.""Well, better have them all next to us than leave them unattended while we're at it." She knows the risk but she'll choose to take the risk to uncover the spy more efficiently.She'll make the spy work with them and at the same time, she'll uncover the identity. She needs interaction. She already has someone in mind but she has to make sure.Nakangising tinignan siya ni Evel
Misha's eyes secretly roamed around the table as soon as Eveline started to mention La Raza. A slight fluctuations of expression can lead to something else. Habang naglalakbay ang mga mata niya, she caught a distinct expression. She smirked a little and continued to listen to Eveline. ..."To sum it all up, Zephyra and her team initially handled this case. They followed this group and planned for a raid. But before the raid, Zephyra found that the group belongs to Silvestre family— a household under La Raza Empire. Zephyra dismissed her team and started to investigate this family that leads to another information and later discovered the existence of La Raza Empire. Zephyra got unlucky and so here you all are, gather in one team to get the job done.""But what is this another syndicate?" Dale asked as his eyes fixed in the files. "Lomarte? Are they linked to La Raza?"Umiling si Eveline. "No, that'll be you."Nangunot ang noo ng lahat. "What do you mean?" Gio asked."First phase of
Napansin ni Misha mula sa side mirror ang isa pang sasakyan na nakasunod sa sasakyan ni Cedric nang malapit na sila sa tahanan ni Lucien."Wait, who's that?" Nilingon niya ang sasakyan.Lucien looked at the side mirror of the car. His brows creased as he clicked his tongue. "That's Gio's."Nakahinga siya ng maluwag, akala niya kasi kalaban. Binilin ni Lucien sa security na hayaang papasukin ang dalawang sasakyan na nakasunod sa kanila bago tuluyang pumasok sa loob. Pagdating nila sa harap ng bahay ni Lucien, sunod-sunod na huminto ang sasakyan ni Cedric at Gio. Lulan ng sasakyan ni Gio si Francis. Akala niya kasama rin ng mga ito si Dale pero hindi niya ito nakita."Hey," nakangiting bati ni Gio. "Cedric said he's going here so we tag along. I can't let Z and her harem have fun by themselves.""Whatever, let's just go inside," wika ni Lucien na nakasimangot saka pumasok na sa loob.Natatawang sumunod sila. Gio walked by her side and slightly nudged her shoulder. "Z, I didn't know y
