The Scarred Billionaire

Chapter 4

MAHIHINANG ungol ang lumalabas sa lalamunan ng babae when Landon covered her mouth with his. Nang makarating sila sa condo unit niya ay wala na silang inaksaya kahit isang segundo. She hurriedly went into Landon’s arms and wrapped her legs around his waist. He cupped her butt as he pushed the door of his room open without breaking the kiss.

Nang makapasok sa kaniyang silid ay maingat niyang ibinaba ang babae. They continued to devour each other’s lips habang abala ang kanilang mga kamay sa pagtanggal ng saplot ng isa’t isa.

Sandaling kumawala si Landon sa kanilang maalab na halikan. His eyes were filled with lust and admiration as he surveyed her perfect body.

“Tititigan mo lang ba ako?” The woman asked and bit her lower lip seductively.

“I like watching your naked body, darling.”

“I don’t do just watching, darling,” the girl mimicked the voice he used for his endearment. “I need you tonight. We need each other. So kiss me, touch me…taste me,” she said hoarsely.

Landon gladly obliged. He kissed her wildly and savagely. His hungry kisses went down on her jaw, to her throat, and to the back of her ear. Nibbling and biting her lobe. He knew it’s one of her weakest spot on her body.

The woman ignited. Tila ito tuyong kahoy na binuhusan ng gasolina at sinindihan.

Narinig niya ang pagsinghap ng babae nang idikit niya ang hubad na katawan sa nag-aapoy na katawan nito. His steel-like hardness poking on her belly. The woman tiptoed and wrapped her leg on his waist but Landon lifted her and carried her to bed.

Ang magkadikit nilang katawan ay sabay na nahulog sa ibabaw ng kama. Ang malamlam na liwanag na nagmumula sa lampshade na nasa ibabaw ng nightstand ang tanging tanglaw nila. Sensations ruled over them completely.

They caressed, lick, and nibble each other’s body. Ang kaliwang kamay ni Landon ay minamasahe ang kabilang dibdib ng babae habang ang kanan ay dumadausdos paibaba sa kurba ng beywang nito at doon humaplos. The woman’s naked body touched like fire. Naglandas ang palad ni Landon sa hita ng kaulayaw na sinasadyang iwasan damhin ang nasa gitna niyon. The woman’s body arched as if wanting for more. As if she badly wanted to be touched there. Nang muling umakyat ang mainit niyang palad sa dibdib nito ay nadama niya ang pagtutol ng katawan nito.

“Impatient are we, love?” He whispered in her ears. Bumaba ang labi niya sa punong dibdib ng babae, leaving traces of wet kisses.

“Oh, Landon,” mahinang usal ng babae habang inililiyad ang dibdib. Hindi na ito nakapaghintay at ito na mismo ang humila sa ulo ni Landon at ibinaon sa pagitan ng maumbok nitong dibdib. Landon chuckled as his lips traced the valley on her breasts. His tongue then found her pinkish n****e and sucked her breast like a hungry babe. Ang kabilang kamay nito’y patuloy sa pagmamasahe sa isa niyang dibdib.

Their heavy breathing sounds like battling. Both their bodies felt like smoldering charcoal.

Labis na nasisiyahan si Landon dahil sa tuwing kailangan niya ito ay hindi ito pumapalyang pagbigyan siya kahit na ano’ng oras. She always satisfies his needs…everything he needs.

When Landon had enough of her breasts, his tongue slowly find its way down to the middle of her thighs. She is already damp there and ready for him but he held himself. He wanted her to come first and so his lips traced down to the softness of her curls.

Lalong napaliyad ang babae habang inuungol ang kaniyang pangalan. Mas lalo pa nitong nilaparan ang pagkakabuka ng hita nito para mas mahantad kay Landon ang kaniyang p********e. Landon’s heart was hammering rapidly on his chest. Agad niyang sinunggaban ang p********e nito at tila uhaw na uhaw na hinigop ang katas nito. Then, alternately licked and sucked her.

Malakas na napaungol ang babae habang lalong inginungudngod ang ulo ni Landon sa kaniyang p********e. His finger thrusting deep inside her habang pinaglalaruan ng dila nito ang kaniyang c******s. She always love that feeling, writhing against him.

Nang umangat ang mukha ni Landon ay lumuhod siya sa ibabaw ng kama. Hinila ang ulo ng babae patungo sa kaniyang p*********i. Isang mapanuksong ngiti ang sumilay sa mga labi ni Landon nang mabilis na hinawakan ng babae ang kaniyang p*********i at erotikong dinilaan ang tuktok niyon.

She’s teasingly licking his tip first bago isubo ng buo ang kaniyang p*********i. The woman’s lips played with his thick erection, sucking and licking it like a pro.

The warmth of her mouth on his manhood felt like heaven. She sucked him hard without breaking their eye contact.

“Yes, I love that,” Landon groaned. Mas lalong ginalingan ng babae ang ginagawa.

“Ahh.” Landon gasped as he watched her taste and suck him hungrily. Hinawakan niya ang buhok ng babae and he thrust deep into her mouth that she almost choked. He groaned and closed his eyes, surrendering to a delicious release he always had with her.

MABILIS na umibis ng sasakyan si Luke nang makarating sa Echeveria tower sa Makati. Pagpasok pa lamang niya sa magara at matayog na building ay sinalubong na siya ng mga nakangiting mukha ng kaniyang mga empleyado. Sinuklian niya iyon ng tango at matipid na ngiti.

“Good morning, Sir! Mister Montefrio is waiting in your office. Pinapasok ko na po siya since you had a schedule appointment with him this morning,” wika ni Clara—ang masipag na assistant ni Calvin. Ito ang umaasikaso ng kaniyang mga schedules matapos i-approve ni Calvin ang mga taong nais silang makausap.

“Thank you, Clara. Don’t forget to prepare this month’s inventory of Vinos de Echeveria. Naipadala na ba ni Vanessa sa iyo?”

“Yes, Sir. She sent the documents to me yesterday.”

“Good. Isama mo na rin ang inventory ng Echeveria Distilling. I want those in my table after I’m done with Mr. Montefrio.”

“Noted, Sir,” alistang sagot ni Clara at nagpahuli nang pumasok sila ni Luke sa elevator na pribadong ginagamit lamang ng CEO at ng mga taong pinagkakatiwalaan nito sa kompanya katulad nina Calvin at Clara. Ang elevator na lulan sila ay deretso sa opisina ni Luke sa twentieth floor.

Nang makapasok sa loob ng opisina ay naabutan nila ang bisita na nagkakape. Agad itong tumayo at inayos ang suot nang makitang naroon na ang boss ng kompanya. Agad namang iniligpit ni Clara ang pinagkapehan ng bisita at bumalik na sa pwesto niya na nasa labas lamang ng opisina ni Luke.

“Lucas,” bati ni Mr. Montefrio na agad na inilahad ang kamay para sa isang handshake.

“Hello, Daven. I apologize if I kept you waiting. Please, have a seat,” ani Luke na iminuwestra ang magkaharap na couch na naroon lang din sa loob ng kaniyang opisina.

“No worries. Hindi pa naman nagtatagal mula nang dumating ako rito. I like your secretary. She’s very accommodating.” Daven Montefrio’s lips formed a lopsided smile while taking a glimpse on Clara that’s visible outside the tinted glass wall.

“That’s her job, Dave. Enough staring at her. Baka isang araw ay malaman ko na lang na sinulot mo na ang assistant ni Calvin. He wouldn’t like it. She’s efficient and hardworking. Kahit ako’y ayaw ko siyang pakawalan.”

“What a shame. I wish I had an employee like her.” Naroon sa boses ni Daven ang panghihinayang.

“Enough of Clara. So, I heard that you wanted to put up a branch in New York?”

“Yes. May nabili akong space doon na napalilibutan ng mga bars at restaurants. That would be a perfect spot for our business.”

Tumango-tango si Luke. Daven and he ventures on the same line of business. Isa lamang si Daven sa napakaraming kliyente niya na kumukuha sa kaniya ng kanilang produkto. Daven already had ten wine and beer stores in Manila, five in Visayas and five in Mindanao. Hindi pa kasali ang malalaking stores nito sa iba’t ibang bansa.

The Philippine market has always enjoyed the world class quality that Echeveria products have been known for. The Echeveria distillery is proud of its wide range of distilled spirits and alcoholic beverages expertly blended and produced by Luke Echeveria himself and his master blenders. They are one of the finest liquor producers in the Philippines and in Spain. For over ten years, Echeveria Distilling Company’s excellent brand portfolio consists of distilled spirits, whiskies, brandies, gins, rums, vodkas, tequilas, cocktails, and sweet wines. These products are produced strictly following special manufacturing processes and well-guarded formula developed by the master blender Luke Echeveria, creating exceptional products of superior taste and quality that satisfies the impeccable taste of Filipinos and connoisseurs all over the world.

“I’ll tell Vanessa about your plans. So, she could put you on the line up and prepare everything.”

“Oh, that bratinella sister of yours. Paano mo ba naging kapatid iyon? She’s a pain in the head.”

Luke chuckled at his friend’s outright disgust towards his sister. Ilang beses na ang mga itong nagkaharap at wala silang pag-uusap na walang pasaringan. They just hated each other’s guts.

“I don’t meddle with my sister’s life, Dave. As long as she’s doing her job right. Unless, ang image na ng kompanya ang maaapektuhan, which I doubt na magagawa niyang sirain.”

“Yeah,” maikli at tila napipilitang sagot ni Daven.

“Gusto ko na ngang mag-asawa na si Vanessa. Para naman pumirmi na sa villa sa Barcelona.”

“Sino namang magkakagusto sa kapatid mong iyon? Masyadong liberated and wild. Dinaig pa nga ako n’on sa inuman,” napapailing na wika ni Daven.

“That’s why she needed a man that would tame her. Hindi lang ulo ko ang sumasakit dahil sa kaniya. Pati na rin ang kay Mama.”

“Military guard ang kailangan ng kapatid mo at hindi asawa.”

Luke chuckled. “Vanessa is beautiful and a good person. Imposibleng walang magkakagusto sa kaniya.”

“Yeah, right,” sarkastikong sagot ni Daven. “Didn’t you have any new creation?” pag-iiba nito ng usapan.

“Well, we’re already done harvesting the vineyard in Barcelona and the extracts are undergoing fermentation process for now. The distilleria is planning to add new variations for a new taste. Gusto kong sa kasal namin ni Adriana ganapin ang launch ng bago kong sweet wine. I will name it after her.”

“Wow. I’m sure Adriana would love that. Isama mo na rin sa stocks ko ang bago mong creation.”

“That is what I like about you, Daven. Lahat ng produkto ko ay nagugustuhan mo.”

"Malaki ang tiwala ko sa ‘yo, Luke. Kailan pa ba nag-flop ang creations mo? You're one hell of a talented connoisseur." Tinapik pa ni Daven ang kaniyang balikat. "Tanda mo, two years ago noong nag-hit ang ginawang mong gin sa market? Dude, you’ve marked another historic milestone in the world!"

"Must be luck, man." Luke chuckled at his friend's statement. But surely he can't deny the fact the he's also proud of that achievement.

"Luck my ass, dude!" tatawa-tawang wika ni Daven. "Just four months ago, ginamit mo pa ang intimate party ko sa BGC para i-launch ang new Echeveria whiskey mo. Magagalit sana ako, dahil imbes na ako ang naging center ng attention sa party ko, ay ikaw ang pinag-usapan. But hell, you tripled my investment! So you're forgiven."

Luke shook his head while laughing as he remembered what his friend was talking about. Ang totoo ay sinadya niyang doon sa party ng kaibigan i-launch ang new whiskey creation niya dahil batid niyang dadalo ang mga potential investors. Just like what Daven mentioned, nagustuhan din hindi lang sa Pilipinas ang Echeveria whiskey kung hindi maging sa Southeast Asia at Europe.

"So, what's your secret, huh?" untag ni Daven kay Luke na itinaas pa ang kaliwang kilay. "I'm really curious on how you manage to create such products. I mean, are you Midas or do you have some sort of powers?"

Malakas na tawa ang isinagot ni Luke sa tanong ng kaibigan. He jokingly tap his friend's shoulder. "I told you, Dave. It's pure luck."

Suwerte ngang maituturing ni Luke ang namana niyang talento sa kaniyang late grandfather. He also inherited Vinos de Echeveria that his grandfather started way back in 1920's. Ngunit ang pinakamahalagang pamana sa kaniya ng kaniyang abuelo ay ang mga notes nito tungkol sa paggawa ng iba't ibang inumin. Those handwritten notes about the know-how on beers and other beverages led him to love their family’s legacy. Naramdaman niya sa mga notes na iyon ang passion ng kaniyang lolo sa paggawa ng masasarap na alak kaya't nais niyang ituloy iyon at palaguin pa. In fact, Luke now owned a hundred hectares of vineyards in Barcelona and two hundred acres of Barley farm in Montana, USA.

“Kapag naikasal na kami ni Adriana ay baka wala na akong panahong gumawa ng bago. Magiging abala na ako sa pagbuo ng aming pamilya.”

Luke heard Daven chuckled. “You’re really marrying her. Siguradong magwawala ang maraming babae. The most sought-after bachelor in the Philippines is getting married! Marami kang paiiyakin, dude.”

“You’re exaggerating, man. We should be talking about your damn business. Hindi ang mga babaeng walang kinalaman sa akin,” wika ni Luke na pinag-krus pa ang mga binti.

“So, you really are a changed man now! Noon ay interesado kang pag-usapan ang mga babae. Ngayon ay umiiwas ka na. What happened to a womanizer Luke I used to know? Nagtatampo na ang mga babae mo sa Hide Out dahil hindi ka na nagagawi roon. Binago ka talaga ni Adriana.”

Lalong natawa si Luke sa tinuran ng kaibigan. “Come on, Dave. Adriana didn’t change me. I changed because of her.”

“You’re really smitten by her. Ang korni mo,” nakangiwing wika ni Daven.

“Wala akong magagawa. Kapag ikaw na ang umibig ay maiintindihan mo rin ako.”

Daven groaned in disbelief.
