Song of Torment

Chapter Eighteen

Palawan

“Still no news about them?” I asked Ethan when I got to SMAC. I know it’s against the rules to talk about this matter in this place but I just need to find Rum.

“Tap and I were still working on it. Scheduler doesn’t know a thing about them also.”

“Damn it,” I hissed.

“By the way, you should do something on that thing on your neck,” he said that made me frown. “I guess you had an amazing night,” he said with a devilish grin on his face that makes me want to punch him.

“You have a hickey, bro!” he said.

I touched my neck where Cassie bite me and suck me like a vampire this morning.

“Get out,” I told him but he just laugh at me. I glared at him that made him stop.

“Glad you two are okay now,” he said in a serious voice.

“We’re working on it.”

He just nod his head and decided to go back to his office. My secretary is already there when Ethan open my office’s door.

“Why the hell is Stephanie included in that video?” I asked when she stepped in.

“The producer of Black Sanctuary chose Stephanie as the second lead of the the music video. She actually rejected it but when she found out that you will play the male lead-”

“She accepted it,” I cut her off and she just nod her head.

“Can’t you do something about it?”

“She already sign the contract,” she said in a low voice and look down to avoid my eyes. “The shooting will also start today. You have a flight to Palawan at 1pm today.”

I massage my temple.

“Cassie,” I unconsciously called her name.

“Sir?”

“Where’s Reigan?” I asked.

“She’s already on her way to Palawan.”

“What? And why do we have a different flight?!”

I immediately pick up my phone and dialed her number.

“As I’ve said, the shooting will start today. They will shoot for the photo-book to be included in the album first. Then tomorrow will be the start of the shooting for the MV.”

“Damn it!” I hissed when I can no longer reach her phone. “What about Stephanie?”

“She’s also on her way to Palawan. She said she wanted to take have some time to tour the place.”

“Rebook my flight to an earliest one now!”

“But you still have-”

“I don’t care! Cancel all my appointments and meetings!”

I pick up my car keys and walked out of the office. I can’t let Cassie go to a place where I can’t reach her and protect her. We don’t even have any idea where Rum is! Even if she can fight for herself, knowing that she’s all alone in that place makes me so anxious.

“Ethan, take care of everything for me. Don’t contact me again unless it’s about Rum.”

“I knew this will happen. Enjoy!” he said over the line.

It was 10am when we arrived in Palawan

“This place is really beautiful!”

I remain silent as I look around the place. I don’t know why the hell Stephanie is here when the shooting for the MV is still tomorrow. Good thing I kept my mouth shut when she suddenly sat next to me on the plane earlier.

“But it’s so hot! Can you give me a sunblock?” she asked her assistant which immediately obliged.

“Do you also need sunblock?” Faye, my assistant, asked me but I refused.

I ignored all Stephanie’s remarks and just headed straight to the hotel. The shooting for the photo-book will start this afternoon so I can still rest for a few hours.

“Matthew will surely love it here,” I heard her say which made me stop but didn’t look back. I started walking again and tried my best to ignore her even if I already heard her talking to Matthew over the phone.

He told me to trust him but he didn’t tell me his relationship with Stephanie.

I just kick-off my shoes and lie on my bed. I didn’t even bother changing my clothes and just let my assistant fixed my things.

“Your lunch will be delivered here. I’ll just call you at 3pm to get you ready,” she said before walking out of the room and locking the door.

I don’t know how long I’ve been sleeping but I woke up when I heard the doorbell. I was about to get up to see who’s outside the hotel room when a strong arms hugged my waist tighter.

“What-”

My eyes widen when I saw a man sleeping next to me and his arms and legs were wrapped around me.

“Let them be,” he said in a hoarse voice.

“Matthew?”

He lift up his face to look at me. He just smiled and kiss my lips before burying his face on the crook of my neck.

“What are you doing here?” I asked as I tried to get away from his embrace. “Let me go first to see who’s outside.”

“Psh.”

He let me go.

“Hi Ma’am. Sorry to disturbed you but here’s your lunch.”

“Thank you,” I said and close the door.

I sigh when I saw Matthew getting up from the bed.

“Isn’t your flight at 1pm? How come you’re already here? And how the hell did you get in my room?” I asked him.

He walked towards me and hug me.

“You don’t expect me to stay in the Metro while my wife is all alone here in Palawan.”

“I’m not alone. My manager and PAs are with me,” I said in a low voice and hug him also. We’ve only been away from each other for a few hours but I already miss him this much.

“That’s it. If Rum will have surprise attack on you, they can’t even protect you.”

I pulled away to look at him and touch his face.

“I’m fine,” I said with a smile.

He lowered his head and captured my lips which I immediately parted so he can sneak his tongue. I moan when he deepen the kiss but he stop when he heard my stomach rumbled.

“You should eat,” he said and laugh that made me frown and slap his arm.

I headed to the mini kitchen and he followed me immediately.

“Have you eaten?” I asked.

“Not yet,” he said and help me prepare the foods.

I didn’t notice earlier but now as we prepare the food, I realize it’s good enough for two people. Also, it’s different from what Faye usually order for me.

“You did this?” I asked as he started eating and I just stare at my plate.

“The delivery guy is right before your door when I arrive so when I saw the food you ordered, I asked him to take it away and ordered another one for the two of us.”

“But I can’t eat this!” I said.

There were pastas, steak and fries. I could only eat sandwiches and vegetables for now because of the photo-book and MV we’re about to shoot. I can’t look bloated in front of the camera!

He put down his utensils and look at me.

“I asked your manager about this already and she already agreed. Besides, you’re not that fat. You shiuld actually eat more. Compared to before, you are so thin that I’m surprised you can still hit a punch without breaking your bones.”

I look at him with my mouth open. He talked to my manager?! Is that how he manage to come inside my room?

“You talked to my manager?!” I asked in disbelief and he just nod his head.

“Eat,” he said firmly so I don’t have a choice but to start eating.

He help me clean up after eating our food.

“What time will you go out?” he asked as I wipe the table.

“Faye will be here at 3pm because we need to be ready before sunset.”

He looked at the wall clocked.

“It’s just 2pm. We still have an hour.”

“For what?” I asked frowning but instead of answering me, he wrapped his arms around my waist and captured my lips.

My knees instantly turned into jelly when his hands started to travel all over my body.

“Matthew,” I called him when he started massaging my breast.

He lifted me up to carry me and made me lie down on the bed. He lips travels down to my throat to my collarbones as his hands were already inside my shirt.

Before I could protest, he already removed my top and unclasped my bra, throwing it away before kissing me again. I almost cry out his name when he suddenly stop, only to remove all his clothes including mine.

Now we are both naked and he is staring at me with lust and need in his eyes.

“You’re so beautiful,” he said before moving on top of me, inserting two fingers inside of me as he sucked my n*pples. “And you still makes me crazy just like when we did this for the first time. It always feels like our first time.”

His mouth travels down to my stomach.

“Always making me want for more.”

I moaned loudly so I bite my lip when I felt his mouth finally reach its destination. He svcked my cl*t as he moves his two fingers inside me faster.

“Matthew, I’m almost-”

I can’t even finish my sentence when he withdrew his fingers and replaced them with his sinful tongue making me lose myself completely.

My legs were over his shoulder and my hand is pulling his hair as I offer myself more to him.

“Matthew!” I screamed his name when I reach my climax. He moved again to settle his self on top of me. My forehead touching his and as he look into my eyes, I felt him on my entrance.

“This is going to be fast and hard so better hold tight,” he said before entering me fully.

I scrapped my nails on his back when he started moving so fast. He thrusting in and out of me so fast, so hard and so deep.

“Cassie,” he called my name before started sucking on my neck.

“Don’t leave any hickeys!” I told him.

I almost panicked when he suddenly picked me up, our bodies still connected, and walked towards to glass window where you can see the whole beach resort.

“Matthew! Someone...someone might-”

I can’t even finished my sentence when he started thrusting in and out of me again so hard that I could only moan and forget my worry that someone might see us.

The sun is still up and it’s only afternoon so there’s a high possibility that someone might see us or worse photograph us! But Matthew doesn’t seem to care as he pound in and out of me harder and deeper.

“Let them see who really owns you. Let the whole world know who I am to you.”

I could only answer him with a moan when I felt myself almost reaching another climax. Matthew on the other hand feels like he is growing harder inside of me.

“Come with me,” he said and move faster that I’m afraid we might break the glass window.

“I’m coming,” I told him. I kissed his neck and bite his shoulder when I felt myself coming and he followed. I felt his juices filling me and some of it came off on my legs.

He’s still inside of me when walked towards the bed. He made me lie in there with him on top of me. I moan when he pull out himself.

“Stop moaning or else, you might have to cancel your shoot,” he said before kissing me again.

“I should get ready,” I said when I felt his hand reaching caressing my waist.

“Yeah,” he said, sounding very disappointed.

“We still have all night,” I told him that made him smile and even help me get ready.

“You better prepare yourself for tonight then.
