Obsessive Men 1: Lucas Clemente

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

“That's a wrap! You are indeed a Goddess, Miss Xia,” puri sa kanya ng photographer.

Tipid lang siyang ngumiti. Agad naman siyang dinaluhan ni Melody ng isang bathrobe na kulay itim na mabilis niya ring tinakip sa kanyang katawan.

She's wearing a two piece bikini and under the sun, bringing a f*****g rose that's really irritating her nose. She's allergic to flowers, but she's trying to keep up with it. Lahat yata ng anti-allergy ay iniinom na niya.

“Gosh! Your cheeks are burning red. Let's rest first, come on,” Melody said and guided her under the big umbrella that's covering a lounge chair from the sun.

Pagod siyang umupo sa lounge chair at sumandal sa backrest nito. She massaged her temple and she felt Melody's hand applying more sunscreen on her bare calves and legs. Hinayaan niya na lang ito dahil ito rin naman ang trabaho niya.

Masakit pa rin ang ulo niya dahil sa hangover ngunit kailangan niyang sumipot sa pictorials at photoshoots niya. Pera din ito. She may have a lots of money resting on her banks, but striving to earn money hits different. Confident kang naigagasta ang pera dahil alam mong pera mo 'yun at pinaghirapan mo.

“Melody,” she called. “About our deal.”

Pansamantalng tumigil si Melody sa paglalagay ng lotion sa kanyang binti at tinignan siya. “What about it?”

“I already found my target.” A devilish grin lifted the corners of her lip.

Nangunot ang noo ng kanyang manager. “And who would that be?”

Xiana shrugged. Inabot niya ang kanyang phone na nasa mesa upang tignan kung nag-text ba sa kanya ang mayor. Lihim naman siyang napairap nang mapansin niyang wala itong message.

“That mayor,” she replied. “But he didn't asked for my number to me, instead he asked my number from my cousin. That asshole. I'm gonna straggle his neck.”

Nakakainis rin ang pagiging bossy ng pinsan niyang si Shaun. Bakit rin ba kasi ay hindi niya nalapitan agad si Angel nang nasa Charity ball sila? Ang tanga naman.

“Really? But hell, Xia, would it be too bad? I mean, he's getting married and the preparations would be all in vain if—”

“If he loves the woman, Mels, love would be an enough reason for him to resist me even if I keep on flirting him everyday. Because the moment he'll kiss me back, would be a bumpy road of their relationship ahead before the wedding.”

“That's so cruel, Xia.” Napailing ang kanyang manager. “You are indeed a b***h. I hate this side of yours. It's scary sometimes.”

Napangisi na lang si Xiana. Hind niya ipagkakailang gusto niya ang binata kaya't ganito siya kadesperadang akitin ito. You can say that the deal was just an excuse for her to flirt him. But hell, she knows better. She knows she wants him. The taste of his damn lips still lingering on her mind and she wants more. More of his lips.

Even if it'll end up me— panting in his bed and moaning his name.

“I can get whatever the f**k I want, Melody. You know that,” she said.

Umismid ang kanyang manager at nagpatuloy ito sa paglalagay ng lotion sa kanyang binti. “Whatever, Xia.”

Binalik ni Xiana ang phone sa mesa at muling sumandal sa backrest ng lounge chair. She's really planning to crash in his office this afternoon. Wala siyang pakialam kung nandoon ang fiancée ng mayor. Naiinis siya sa babaeng 'yun. That damn gown from last night costs thousands of dollars! Could probably feed a bunch of street children for a week!

“But what if the one who'll fall on the trap would be you?” Melody suddenly blurted out making her open her eyes to look at her manager. “I mean, he's damn hot, and handsome, and f*****g gorgeous! It's not impossible to fall for that man! And remind you, you only have two months to flirt with him, after two months will be hard for you if you fall for him.”

Pinigilan ni Xiana ang humalakhak sa sinabi ng kanyang manager, but she guess she failed. She burst out laughing her heart's out. Pansin niyang natigilan ang iba habang nakatitig sa kanya kaya't pinilit niya ang sariling tumagil sa pagtawa.

She murmured sorry to them before dragging her attention back to Melody. “Seriously, Mels?”

“Yes, b***h. Seriously.” Umirap pa ito na ikinatawa ni Xia ng bahagya.

Nakagat ni Xiana ang kanyang labi at napailing. “If that'll happen, then I'll surely drag him as well. Falling alone is unfair, Melody. I think I can make him fall for me, I'll made sure of that.”

But honestly? She's doubting. Parang hindi man lang nagagandagan sa kanya ang masungit na mayor na 'yun.

Is he really that loyal? Because damn, I'm getting annoyed!

Nang sumigaw muli ang director na magsisimula na naman ang pictorial ay agad siyang nilapitan ng kanyang mga personal stylist. Si Melody naman ay sinagot ang mga tawag na sa tingin niya ay puro lamang mga invitations sa mga events like pageant contest.

“Miss Xia, I like your eyes,” wika ng make up stylist niya.

“Yeah,” sagot naman ng kanyang hair stylist. “It's chestnut. Very appealing and attractive.”

Napangiti na lang ang dalaga. Ilang taon nang nagtatrabaho sa kanya ang dalawa ngunit hanggang ngayon ay hindi niya pa rin kilala ang dalawa. Nahihiya rin siyang magtanong dahil baka ano pang masabi ng dalawa sa kanya. She would settle being silent and just smile when she needs to. Ganyan naman lagi ang buhay niya, e. And sometimes, it's f*****g irritating!

“Gosh! Our baby is so beautiful!” the make up stylish exclaimed.

Xiana murmured thank you. Inabutan naman siya ng isang pares ng bikini ng kanyang hair stylist at sinabing suotin ito agad.

Tumango siya dito at nagtungo sa isang mini comfort room para doon magbihis. Nakalugay naman ang kanyang buhok kaya't natatabunan nito ang dibdib niya.

It was a pair of maroon bikini. Kinakailangan pang itali ang gilid ng panty kaya't medyo natagalan siya. Sinuot niya rin ang malaking t-shirt na mula sa TCL. Imagine how much this freaking shirt cost, tapos mamaya nito gutay-gutay na kasi gugupitin ni Melody. Reason? Pantanggal boredom.

“Are you ready, Xiana?” Melody asked and she nodded.

Sandali siyang sumulyap sa salamin at napangisi.

I'll make you fall for me, Mayor Lucas Clemente. I will and I can.

LUCAS MASSAGED his temple while listening to his fiancée from the other line. May mga aasukasuhin pa siya ngunit talagang makulit ang nobya niya.

“Sinasabi ko na sa 'yo, Lucas. Why aren't you answering my calls last night?!”

Lucas blew a loud breath. “Stop being so suspicious, Pamela. Pagod ako kagabi kaya hindi ko nasagot ang tawag mo. I was asleep.”

Lie! This is the first time that he'll lie to her. Ang totoo ay hindi siya nakatulog ng maayos kagabi. Lagi siyang bumabangon para silipin ang dalagang natutulog sa kaharap niyang pinto.

“Sigurado ka ba sa sinasabi mo? You've been acting weird since last night,” wika nito.

Mariing napapikit ang binata sa uri nang pananalita ng kanyang nobya. Wala siya sa mood makipagtalo kaya't naghanap na lang siya ng dahilan para tapusin ang tawag. Mamaya na lang niya kakausapin ito. Alam niyang gusto lang ng lambing ng kanyang nobya, but he's not on his shoes right now.

“We'll talk later, Pamela. I still have a meeting,” he said.

Hindi niya narinig ang sagot nito. Sa halip ay tatlong sunod-sunod na pag-beep ang namayani sa telepono. Inis niya namang binitawan ang phone at bumagsak ito sa makinis niyang mesa na gawa sa kahoy.

“f**k,” he murmured.

Nalilito na siya. He's not the type of a person that'll lie to his partner. But look what he did a moment ago. Nagsinungaling siya, and he blames Xiana Castro for that.

Magmula nang dumating ang dalagang 'yun sa buhay niya, hindi na niya makilala ang sarili. He end up thinking of her before sleep and when he wakes up in the morning. Naiinis na siya.

He rubbed his temple and continue reading the requests made by every barangay of Romblon for a better improvement. He needs to focus and should stop thinking about that woman. She's no good.

Ngunit ang plano niyang "focus" ay biglang inihip ng malakas na hangin nang biglang bumukas ang pinto ng kanyang opisina at pumasok ang babaeng pilit niyang tinataboy sa kanyang isipan.

She walked like a queen inside his office like she owned it. She's wearing a very short pants that revealed her long and flawless legs. The knee-boots she was wearing didn't do any help on covering the skin he doesn't want anyone to see.

What the hell is happening to me?! Lihim niyang kastigo sa sarili.

Xiana Castro sat on one of his black couch and crossed her legs, and also her hands over her chest; showing how blessed her t**s are.

Damn woman.

“I was bored that's why I'm here. Buti na lang fan ko ang sekretarya mo.” She raised her brows at him.

“If you are bored, then go home,” mariing bigkas ng binata.

Is she seducing me or what? Mas platada sa paningin niya ngayon ang mahabang hita ng dalaga, and she's not even bothered about it!

“Bakit naman ako uuwi? Sabi mo hindi ako sasama kay Joseph tapos kapag nandito ako, papauwiin mo ako? Ang gulo ng utak mo para maging mayor.”

He stilled at her words. Ano? Bigla siyang nakaramdam ng irita sa dalaga. Kung sa larangan ng pang-iinis, panalong-panalo at nangunguna si Xiana Castro.

Napahilot si Lucas sa kanyang sintido. “Can't you see, Castro? I'm busy with my works.”

“Inano ba kita?” Muling umangat ang kanang kilay ng dalaga. “Edi gawin mo ang trabaho mo. Hindi naman kita dinidistorbo, e.”

Hell, I'm disturbed by your presence, damn it! He wanted to bark. Ngunit sinupil niya ang kanyang inis sa blankong expresiyon, lalo na nang mapansin niya ang unti-unting pag-angat ng ngisi sa labi ng dalaga.

Ano na naman kaya ang balak nito?

Tumayo ito at naglakad palapit sa kanya. He can't help himself on staring her almost perfect body figure. Xiana Castro is indeed the right word for vixen.

Umikot ang dalaga sa mesa papuntang likuran niya. Her scent lingered his nostrils and damn, he suddenly felt himself aroused. Mas lalo pa nadagdagan iyon nang pumalibot ang braso nito sa kanyang leeg. She's just hugging him and for f**k's sake, he became more aroused!

“Or maybe you're disturbed with my presence, Mr. Mayor?”

Nakuyom ni Lucas ang kanyang kamao nang maramdaman niya ang hininga ng dalaga sa kanyang batok at tenga. He can feel goosebumps all over his body that even his fiancée— Pamela didn't able to make him feel this way.

“Get off me, Xiana,” he mumbled under his breath.

The vixen just hummed before pulling away. Magpapasalamat na sana siya ngunit nagulat siya nang biglang itong kumandong sa kanya paharap. Wala sa sarili niyang hinawakan ang beywang ng dalaga para hindi ito mabundol sa mesang nasa likuran ng dalaga.

“What the f**k?!” he said.

She giggled and placed her hands on his shoulders as she moved her hips for a better position. Wala sa sariling napalunok ang binata dahil sa kaba na baka ay mapansin ni Xiana ang namumuong tent sa kanyang pantalon.

Nang tuluyan nang tumigil sa paggalaw ang dalaga ay doon lamang dahan-dahang binitawan ang hiningang kanina niya pinipigilan.

Her fingers traced the buttons of his polo. Mabilis ang kamay ng binata para pigilan ito sa pagbaba. “Get off, Xiana.”

“No,” she replied and giggled. “Does my presence bothered you, Mr. Mayor?”

Lucas clenched his jaw. Feeling her small waist with his bare hands felt surreal. Parang ayaw niya itong bitawan sa dalawang dahilan. 'Yun ay baka mahulog sa lapag ang dalaga, at dahil gusto niyang damhin pa ang katawan nito.

This is not me. Probably not. Baka may sumapi sa kanya para maramdaman ito sa babaeng bagong salta lang sa buhay niya.

“Stop flirting, Ms. Xia. I'm in the middle of my work.”

The girl rolled her eyes and leaned in. Hindi pa man tuluyang nakaanalisa ang binata sa gagawin ng dalaga ay huli na ang lahat. She crashed her lips with his and there goes this unfamiliar feeling he always felt whenever their lips met.

Hinila ng dalaga ang neck tie ng binata para mas lalong palalimin ang halik. He don't know what gotten into him, especially...

When he found himself kissing her back.

NAGDIWANG ANG buong kalamnan ni Xiana nang maramdaman niyang sinagot ni Lucas ang kanyang halik.

She wrapped her arms around his nape and she felt him tightened his grip on her waist. Pinikit niya ang kanyang mga mata at dinama ang kanilang mainit na paghahalikan. His kisses were sending tickling feeling down to her private parts. She can even feel her n*****s harden against the foam of her brassire. This is just a kiss, ngunit parang dinadala na siya ng binata sa ibang lugar. Heaven. His kisses taste like heaven.

She bit his bottom lip and giggled when he snaked his tongue inside her mouth and explored. The moment his tongue met hers, he sucked it like a caveman and bit the sting away. Mas diniin siya ng binata sa katawan nito kaya't ramdam na ramdam ni Xiana ang p*********i nitong bumubukol sa kanyang pantalon.

“Baby, you're hard,” she murmured between their kiss.

Xiana heard him groaned. Akmang kakagatin na nitong muli ang labi ng dalaga nang biglang bumukas ang pinto.

LUCAS PUSHED her off and she fell on the floor. Napatingin siya sa pinto at napansin na ang ama niya ang pumasok. He glanced at Xiana hiding under his table with a f*****g smirk on her lips. It was swolle, he can see it from here.

“How are you, son?” bati ng kanyang ama.

Tumikhim si Lucas at ibinaling ang atensiyon sa ama. He put on his blank emotion and answered, “I'm good.”

Biglang naikuyom ng binata ang kanyang mga palad nang maramdaman niya ang paghimas ng dalaga sa gitna ng kanyang pantalon. He grit his teeth to stop himself from glancing under his table. Mahirap na at baka mabuko siya.

“I heard that a famous model from New Greece came here in Romblon, was that true?” tanong ng ama niya.

He knew it. His father won't came by to say "hi" or "hello". Talagang may sadya ito at mukhang ito na nga.

Lucas sucked his breath when he felt her hands massaged his 'buddy'. Gusto niyang tabigin ang kamay nito ngunit hindi niya magawa.

“Yes, she is,” Lucas replied.

Tumango ang kanyang ama at dumekwatro ng upo. “And I also heard she's staying at the mansion with you and your mom.”

Pasimpleng sumandal si Lucas sa kanyang office chair at napalunok. He saw how Xiana expertly unzipped his pants without making noise and pulled down his boxer. Umiwas siya ng tingin sa dalaga nang maramdaman niya ang mainit nitong kamay na bumalot sa kanya at hinila ito palabas.

“Yes,” he replied breathlessly.

Nangunot ang noo ng kanyang ama. “Are you okay? You're sweating.”

Sunod-sunod na napamura ang binata nang mapansin iyon ng kanyang ama. Naikuyom niya ang kanyang palad nang maramdaman niya ang hininga ng dalaga malapit sa p*********i niya.

“I-I'm fine....”

Fuck, Xiana Castro. You know how to f*****g drive me insane.
