Bring Me To Paradise (Sugar Daddy Series #3)

XVIII

"Really. You're asking me what to buy for a woman? Kilala mo naman siguro kung sino ang kausap mo, Mr. Xiao, ano? I suggest a cond*m—"

"Shut your trap, Romeo Grimaldi," inis na turan ni Feng bago hinampas ng folder sa dibdib ang lalaki. Bahagya naman itong napaubo sa lakas ng puwersa niya at inambaan siya ngunit kaagad naman itong napatigil nang may dumaan na saleslady. Ito lang kasi ang nahatak niya sa mall para mag-shopping.

"At para kanino naman 'to, Mr. Xiao? Akala ko ba, move on ka na kay Mrs. Lee?"

Mahina siyang natawa. "It's not for Briar."

Bahagyang napintahan ng ngiti ang mga labi ni Feng nang maalala ang maamong mukha ni Faye. Talagang pinagkapigil-pigilan niya pa ang sarili na mapabisita nang maaga sa La Traviata noong araw na iyon sa pananabik na makausap ang dalaga. Being with Jian and Briar who were making love all day long makes him irritated and annoyed. And maybe a little bit jealous.

"Then for whom? The dancer you bought?"

He shrugged. "What? I'm her patron."

Napakunot ang noo ni Romeo. "The Feng I knew never indulged himself on these kinds of things," nanghuhuling saad nito.

He shrugged before picking up a bustier. "Pakialam mo ba?"

Romeo pouted before picking up a ruffled dress. "Wait, hang on. Do you think my Julietta would like this?"

He rolled his eyes. "I'm not helping you. You're not helping me either. Get lost, Romeo Montague."

Sa inis ng lalaki sa kanya ay binato siya nito ng bestidang hawak nito. "Shut up, Mr. Sugar Daddy. I am no Romeo Montague."

Napakunot ang noo niya at mahinang tumawa. "Sugar daddy? I'm not, for your information."

Romeo scoffed. "Let's see. Lavish gifts, an escort younger than you, yes, Mr. Xiao. Breaking news. You are a certified sugar daddy."

He rolled his eyes at Romeo once again and glared at him. "I'm just trying to make a grieving woman happy."

Rumepeke naman ng luha ang tarantado niyang kaibigan at naglabas pa ng panyo. "Well, I need a new Rolex too. I'm grieving."

Hindi niya na lang pinansin ang lalaki at dumiretso sa counter. Binayaran ang kanyang mga napamili at inutusan ang cashier na ipabalot ang lahat ng iyon sa kahon kung hindi man ilagay sa mga paper bags. Wala nang pakialam ang lalaki. He has his own black card like Jian and the other guys aka the billionaire guys in X so worrying about money was not really his thing. And also, wala naman siyang pamilyang ginagastusan kaya naman lahat ng kanyang pera ay kung hindi man naiipon lang, ginagamit niya sa pansarili niyang interes.

Nang maipasakay lahat ng kanyang mga gamit sa likod ng sasakyan niya ay dumiretso na siya sa Paradiso. Nagpaalam naman si Romeo na hindi na sasama dahil dadaanan pa raw nito ang nobya nito. Hinayaan na lamang ni Feng ang loko at hindi na pinigilan pa. Isa pa, may sarili siyang schedule at gagawin.

Nang makarating sa La Traviata ay isinuot niya ang maskarang tumatakip sa kalahati ng kanyang mukha bago sinenyasan ang bouncer na bitbitin lahat ng paper bags na nasa likuran ng kanyang sasakyan. Pagkapasok ay kaagad niyang tinungo ang cashier at ibinigay ang kanyang pangalan. Awtomatiko nang alam ng mga ito ang kanyang ipina-reserve pati na rin ang kung sino ang gusto niyang makasama.

Six hours. Ganoon kahaba ang oras ni Faye sa La Traviata. Kung bakit may shift ito na iba sa ibang mga escort ng mga Romano, hindi niya alam. Ang tanging sinisigurado lang ng lalaki ay ang siya lang ang makakasama nito buong gabi. Halata naman kasi rito na hindi ito komportable na may ibang kasama. At siya? Ayaw niya ng may kahati.

He yawned as he flipped the magazines resting on the coffee table. Puro p*rn magazines iyon at hindi naman siya interesado sa mga iyon. Mayamaya ay napasulyap siya sa dalagang lumabas mula sa banyo ng VIP room. Nakasuot ng mini dress at high heels—

"Sir..."

He smiled. "Hello, Faye."

Napatingin ito sa mga paper bag na nasa gilid. Napangiwi. "Sir, nag-shopping ka na naman..."

He shrugged before sipping his brandy. "They're gifts for you, gorgeous." Mahina siyang tumawa. "Well, I don't have a family anyway, so I guess it's alright. Would you mind fitting them for me? I wasn't so sure about your size..."

Hindi niya alam kung bakit niya ginagawa lahat ng iyon. Maybe it was his own way of coping with what happened with his recent love interest? Or maybe he was just bored. And Faye managed to catch his attention like how Briar did. Anyway, it was better than being a lonely assh*le, drowning himself in alcohol. He would rather stay away from the couple and give himself a little space for healing.

Napalingon siya nang muling lumabas si Faye mula sa banyo, suot ang isa sa mga damit na binili niya. It was a halter mini dress and it was a little tight on her, accentuating her curves and assets. Napalunok si Feng at namulsa. Sinenyasan niya ang dalaga na umikot at ginawa naman nito.

Good lord, bulalas niya sa sarili. Why are you having a bloody erection now, Mr. Xiao?

Even though he hated to admit it, he was lacking on the s*x department. Despite the countless booty calls he receives now that Jian was married, he just did not find anyone who could make his member awake like that. And now he has to hide this bloody bulge away or else Faye would definitely think that he was a f*cking weirdo.

Bago pa makaharap ang dalaga ay inabot niya ang throw pillow na nasa tabi at ipinatong iyon sa kanyang crotch area. He pretended like there was nothing going on and just smiled to her but in reality, he was feeling the most excruciating pain he has ever felt in his entire existence.

Nakailang sukat pa ang dalaga nang ang matira na lang ay ang bustier na kanina ay pinili niya. Lace iyon at itinatali ng mga laso sa likuran. He was about to overcome the bulge on his pants when she came out of the bathroom, her lace completely in disarray and her bosom peeking at him.

"Sir, puwede mo ba akong tulungan? Hindi ko kasi maitali nang maayos..."

He gulped and stood up. "Alright. Talikod."

As his fingers started to unravel the ribbons on her back, he noticed her staggering and tipsy. Tumikhim siya ngunit tila hindi naman iyon pinuna ng dalaga. Hindi niya alam kung nananadya ito, nang-aakit, o sadyang masyado lang itong inosente para mapansin ang nangyayari. Habang itinatali ang bustier ay bahagya siyang nilingon ng dalaga.

"May... tumutusok sa 'kin, Sir..."

Only an idiot would not understand that. Lalong ginapangan ng hiya ang lalaki sa katawan. Why the hell did he even had an erection during that hour? Nakakahiya tuloy at—

"Ah, ayos lang, Sir... Normal lang naman daw po 'yan..."

Mahina siyang natawa. "Look, please don't get the wrong idea, Faye. And also, stop squirming. It hurts," nahihirapang saad niya bago inilayo nang kaunti ang dalaga mula sa kanya.

"May puwede ba akong gawin para hindi na sumakit?"

Bahagya siyang natigilan sa tanong ng dalaga. Iniharap niya ito ngunit seryoso ang ekspresyon sa mukha nito. What was worse was that she did not even bat an eye. Napalunok si Feng at idinaan na lamang sa tawa ang paghihirap na nararamdaman. "Darling, I'm not paying your shift to ask for s****l favors... I just enjoy your company and it distracts me from my personal stuff. But..." He let out a deep breath when he saw her determination. "If... If you insist..."

Naramdaman niya ang paglapat ng kanyang likod sa pader kasabay ng pagdikit ng pang-upo nito sa kanyang harapan. She gently brushed her butt against his, but god knows how it made everything more painful. Lalo na nang ilabas nito ang kanyang ari at iipit sa pagitan ng dalawang hita nito.

Dry hump. As embarrassing as it is, that was all that he had for the past few years. Being forty and busy kept him from having a girlfriend, and so he had to improvise to meet some of his needs. The occasional one night stands and flings were a distant memory to Feng already. But with how Faye moved, it made him feel like he was young again and exploring things.

"Faye," ungol niya sa pangalan nito habang sinasabayan ang paggiling ng dalaga. Hindi niya maikakaila ang nakakakiliting sensasyon na kumakalat sa buo niyang katawan habang dumadaplis sa kanyang ari ang makinis na tela ng underwear nito, o ang mahinang pag-ungol nito sa kanyang tainga. Sa pagitan ng mga sensasyong nararamdaman ay bigla siyang napaisip, bakit bigla yatang nagtanong si Faye ng—

"Alessandro..." bulong nito habang nakapikit at iginagalaw ang balakang. Umigkas ang kamay ng dalaga at humawak sa batok niya, ang kabila naman ay iginiya ang isang palad niya upang ipasok sa loob ng suot nitong bikini. Ngunit kahit na natutuksong suklian ang paggalaw ng dalaga at dalhin sa totohanan ang kanilang ginagawa ay mas lalo lamang nakaramdam ng sakit—na ngayon ay tila sa dibdib niya na nanggagaling— ang lalaki.

"I'm not Alessandro, Faye," mahinang bulong niya sa tainga nito bago marahas na ibinaon ang kanyang mga daliri, kasabay ng malakas na singhap ng dalagang biglang natauhan.
