(SSPG WARNING! Read at your own risk!)“Damn, we shouldn’t be doing this, Lauren,” gigil na bulong ni Zai habang nakaupo ako sa kanyang kandungan. Patuloy pa rin ang paghalík niya sa akin. Nalalasahan ko naman ang alak sa kanyang dila. “Uhmm~” Umawang ang labi ko nang sapuin niya ang malusog kong sùso habang patuloy sa pagsípsip sa aking labi. “Ugh fùck, stop grinding on my top,” awat niya kasabay ng paghapit niya sa aking baywang. Sumubsob ang sùso ko sa kanyang matigas na dibdib. Ngunit hindi ako nagpatalo at mas idiniin ang sarili ko sa kanyang alaga na kumakawala na sa suot niyang slacks. Saglit akong humiwalay at napatitig sa gwapo niyang mukha. “What?” namamaos niyang bulong. Basa ang labi, at kumalat na ang lipstick ko sa gilid ng kanyang namumulang labi. “We both hate each other, but why in the fùck are we kissíng?” lasing niyang bulong at naging hudyat ‘yon upang mas halíkan niya ang labi ko. Hindi ko rin alam ang sagot, o baka lasing lang ako dahil uhaw na uhaw ako sa kanyang haplos, at halik. “Your boyfriend is gonna kill me,” gigil niyang bulong at hínimas ang hita ko dahilan para umangat ang micro skirt na suot ko. “You’re gonna regret this, Lauren. Your boyfriend is like my brother, but I couldn't care less. Now that you’re on my top, fuck.” Pinag-init ako ng kanyang sinabi dahilan para hímasin ko ang kanyang alaga na tigas na tigas at umaabot na sa kanyang puson. “Fùck!” malutong niyang mura na ikinangisi ko.

It read, "Due to my husband's car accident rendering him infertile, seeking a healthy male for surrogacy. Generous compensation." As for the requirements, 'Must be handsome, have an excellent physique, graduated from an Ivy League school, and be good in bed. Price is negotiable.' Her highly efficient personal assistant, whom she had hired at great expense, sent over photos of applicants the next day. One ultimately met her criteria and even exceeded her expectations. The side profile in the photo, noble and aloof, looked familiar. She immediately decided, 'Okay, It's him.' 'He's available anytime, but he has one prerequisite.' her assistant informed. Kimberly raised an eyebrow, 'What requirement?' 'He's a bit shy, so the lights must be off.' Only later did she realize what trouble she had gotten into.
