Chapter 2

Alas sinko na ng umaga. Tulog na tulog pa si Tessa, n*******d pa rin ito at tanging kumot lamang ang nagtatakip sa katawan nito.

Bumangon na siya si Maxwell at nagsuot ng damit para umalis. He stared at her one last time and left the room with a note for Tessa.

He paid the bills and left the hotel before he drive himself home and took a quick shower. Marami pa siyang kailangang tapusin na trabaho. Hindi na niya mahihintay na magising si Tessa. 

He's on his way to his work and dialed Axel's number.

"Keep an eye on Tessa Santiago," mariing utos ni Maxwell.

"Noted."

Maxwell thought that meeting Tessa last night is not a coincidence. He met Tessa the day they caught the spy. How is that coincidence? Wala sa party ang ama nito pero naroon ang anak?

He had thought about it while driving. He thought, maybe when Omega couldn't contact their spy anymore, they deployed someone whom they know Maxwell couldn't resist. Pero hindi ganon kadali makuha ang isang Maxwell Ducanni. Kung gusto maglaro ng Omega ay pagbibigyan iyon ni Maxwell.

Maxwell needs to do something and he knew he needs Tessa to do that.

Keep your enemies close, just like what they said.

Now, he's keeping Tessa. Alam niyang kakagat si Tessa patibong.

The whole day wasn't busy at all. Maxwell just did some paper works in his office. Now he's here again sa bar. Hoping she would showed up. The next day and the following days were the same. He tends to go to the same bar. But he haven't heard anything at all. He thought it is his eleventh night going here.

It's almost 10 pm and he's out of here.

What is the point of waiting, when he could ask his men to look for him?

Magbayad na si Maxwell ng mga nainom niya. Handa na siyang umalis nang makita niya ang isang pamilyar na babae. There she is wearing dark blue dress. This woman needs some spanking. He grinned with his own dirty thought.

It seems like he caught her attention and she started walking towards him.

"Hey!" nakangiting bati nito kay Maxwell. "You're going home?" She asked and look at him from head to toe and remained the eye contact.

"Yeah. I've got no company. I just need to chill."

"Why don't you join me? Wala akong kasama..." She offered and caressed his arm. He stared at her hand before he sighed.

"No. I might bother you."

He needs to play some game here honey.

"No, no, no. Please be with me tonight. Ayaw mo ba?" Without even answering, Tessa took his hand and drag him inside the bar, walking towards a table.

"Guys, meet Maxwell..." pagpapakilala ni Tessa sa kaibigan. Isa-isa niyang ipinakilala si Maxwell. Obviously, some of her girl friends are already eyeing Maxwell from head to toe "He's mine. Off limit." Irap pa ni Tessa sa mga kaibigan at natawa.

Maxwell just smirked at her claims. Mukhang nahulog na na talaga ito sa patibong niya. She drag him again and took a seat on the vacant couch.

"Here! I bet you like whisky?" She handed him a full glass of whiskey. How did she know that?

Tessa was about to ask something but a friend of her suddenly threw a question at him

"So Maxwell, you're the owner of Gold Industry right?" She leaned forward exposing her cleavage. For a moment, Maxwell glanced at Tessa before he looks at the woman. He just saw Tessa on his peripheral vision rolling her eyes. He looks at the woman in front of her—her name is Sumner— and answered.

"Well you could say that." He showed a small smile, and Sumner smiled widely.

"How was it? Isn't hard? I mean at this young age you're already managing a big company." she caressed his arm. Knowing that she's flirting, he took the advantage to make Tessa lose on him.

"Not really. I love what I'm doing so it's not really working."

Maxwell didn't know that the conversation with Sumner would take too long that he almost forget the other woman beside him, drinking roughly.

He excused himself to Sumner and looked at Tessa.

"Hey, are you okay? Gusto mo na ba umuwi?" bulong niya sa tainga ni Tessa. 

"Yes, uuwi na ako. Go on and talk to her," tono na nagseselos na sabi ni Tessa at umirap.

Maxwell just exactly knew her reactions kaya natawa siya sa isip.

"Paano ka uuwi? Lasing ka na naman."

"Ano naman ngayon sayo kung lasing ako? Problema ko na yun kung paano ako uuwi. Umalis ka nga sa harapan ko!"

Maxwell was taken back at her tone. He didn't want to look like he's insisting so he laid back a bit.

"If you say so."

Tessa didn't expect him to answer like that. It made her roll her eyes again. Ang akala niya ay pipilitin siya nito. 

"Hey, Maxwell!" Malakas na sigaw ni Tessa, ang ilan ay napalingon pa sa kanila.

Maxwell was about to talk Tessa but then Sumner caught his attention.

"Yes, Sumner?"

The woman smiled when he answered back.

"Nothing." She took her bag and stood up but then she stumbled on her own and fall on Inigo's lap. "Oh my God!" She turned around to Maxwell and apologized.

"It's okay. Are you okay?" He asked while holding her arm.

Sumner shyly nodded. She stood up and apologized again to Maxwell before she stood up.

"Guys, I'm going home." Her friends looked at her with concerns in their eyes.

"Sumner, can you drive? You're drunk bitch." One of their friends asked.

Sumner slightly glanced at Inigo before she answered. "Maybe?" and chuckled.

This girl definitely knows how to play.

"Oh! I guess Maxwell will drop her off." A friend suddenly said.

Everyone laughed except the quiet Tessa.

"Omygosh! No! That would bother him." Sumner said, almost hoping he would agree to drop her off.

"And I need to drive Tessa," putol ni Maxwell sa sasabihin pa ni Sumner.

Napahinto si Tessa sa pagsalin mh whiskey. Hindi niya iyon inaasahan mula kay Maxwell.

"Oh!" Their friends said while eyeing Tessa with a hint of tease and awkwardness.

"Then, I should go?" Sumner said, sounds disappointed.

Muling umupo si Maxwell sa tabi ni Tessa. Hindi na niya pinansin ang paalis na si Sumner. Tessa is his business. 

"Tama na, ihahatid na kita sa inyo." Inagaw ni Maxwell ang whiskey kay Tessa.

"S-Sure..." she said stuttering.

Kailangan niya makapasok sa bahay ng mga Santiago. Iyon ang pakay niya sa paghatid kay Tessa. 

Tessa just bid farewell to her friends before they went out of the bar. Her friends wanted her to stay but she insisted on going home.

Maxwell snaked his hand on her waist to support her weight. She's not walking straight as she's somehow drunk from all the whiskey she took. Tessa's cheek were red and hot. She definitely not feeling well with Inigo's hand on her waist.

Maxwell helped her again to sit on the front seat. Tessa was just looking at him, as if wanting to say something. He was about to close the door but Tessa stopped him. He knelt down again and looked at her eyes, looking confused.

"I hate you!" nguso ni Tessa at hinampas si Maxwell.

Maxwell frown with the sudden confession.

"Why? Anong ginawa ko sayo?" he asked seriously, not really knowing why.

"None of your business."

Maxwell just couldn't get her suddenly. He thought he knew how women works but apparently, there are still women that he just doesn't know how to get and Tessa is one of them.

"You're my business, Tessa. Bakita ka nagagalit? Anong ginawa ko, sabihin mo, aayusin ko..."

Parang hinaplos naman ang puso ni Tessa sa sinabi ni Maxwell. Hindi siya nakasagot, parang nalunok na ang dila.

When Tessa didn't answer back, Maxwell stood again but Tessa stopped him again.

"You're drunk. I'll drive you home." He said. He turned around but then she spoke.

"I hate you! You left me alone there!"

"What? I'm here with—"

"At the hotel. Babae dapat ang nauuna umalis pagkatapos ng one night stand!"

Maxwell wants to smirk but he remained serious and silent.

"Then you talked to Sumner all night while I was the one who invited and asked you to come!"

Indeed, she's frustrated.

"She talked to me, nakita mo naman, di ba? Siya ang unang kumausap sa akin. I just responded... and you're drinking all night and wasn't talking to me. You also keep on rolling your eyes on me. Ayaw mo ako kausapin."

"I-I'm sorry..." she said, feeling guilty.

"I'll drive you home." He was about to turn around again but then Tessa pulled his arm.

"Be with me tonight," bulong ni Tessa.

That's it woman. You're falling.

Maxwell smirked before he faced Tessa, and knelt to see her face. He tucked the strands behind her ear and caresses her cheek. He leaned forward and kissed her. She responded and put her hands on his nape.

But he suddenly broke the kiss.

"W-Why'd you stop? Hindi ba ako masarap humalik? Mabaho ba ang hininga—"

"You want me to do it here?" The car us fully tinted, so he's always prepared. Pero gusto niya makarating sa bahay ni Tirso Santiago.

Tessa pulled him again for a kiss, not really saying anything. Inigo pushed her a bit and looked for the button that would move the seat backwards.

The moment it moved backwards, he went inside the car, still kneeling. It was a difficult position but who he is to say no to the woman in front of him?

"You're uncomfortable?"

Maxwell was shocked when he suddenly went to the driver's seat.

"Buckle up. I'll have you in my home."

Maxwell abided and silently wait. They drove inside a subdivision and stopped in front of a white bungalow house.

"You live here?" kunot noong tanong ni Maxwell. 

"Yes, alone." Tessa went out of the car, so he followed. "Hindi ko kayang tumagal sa bahay."

She moved closer to him and hug his arms. When they got inside the house, Tessa held his hand and guided him to the second floor of the house.

They went inside of a room. The room isn't that feminine nor masculine. It was just right with the touch of nude colours.

Tessa was about to let go of his hand but he stopped her and pulled her closer and kissed her.

Maxwell is just no patient enough for him to wait longer. He laid Tessa on the bed and removed the heels himself. He removed his shoes and socks before he hop on the bed while removing his shirt.

He crawled above her and then she received his kisses. Maxwell's hand were on her waist making small movements feeling her skin beneath the dress. She pushed him to the bed and sat on top of him. She combed her hair backwards while feelings Inigo's hands caressing his exposed legs.

She held the hem of her dress and then removed it herself. After awhile, she leaned forward and kissed his ear down to his neck.

This woman is wild.

Hindi huminto si Tessa sa paghalik kay Maxwell hanggang sa maabot nito ang sinturon ni Maxwell.

"Can you sit?" nahihiyang tanong ni Tessa. Happily, Maxwell oblige and help Tessa to remove his pants and boxers.

The moment he removed his boxer, it sprung in front of Tessa. There he is. Huge and proud. That's my boy.

She knelt down and suck the life of his shaft. Her soft and hot mouth covered the tip of his sensitiveness. The way her teeth scratches his delicateness, he couldn't stop moaning as he grab her handful of hair.

Fuck. This woman made him go crazy.

Tessa definitely knew how to fuxking make him horny. Damn it. Her small mouth is definitely heaven. Hindi alam ni Maxwell kung nakailang mura na siya. Gustong-gusto niya ang ginagawa ni Tessa. Hindi iyon pwede. Kailangan ay mabaliw si Tessa sa kanya.
