EXCERPT
Gusto na ni Jenalyn na makaalis sa lugar na iyon agad. But Keith was still talking to her. He was a photographer and she had worked with him before. He asked her to go with him at the after party. She smiled and politely declined. Wala siya sa mood para magpuyat buong gabi. Nagpaalam na siya kay Keith.
Pagpihit niya ay may nabangga siyang katawan. And she darn knew who it was immediately! His scent alone was all too familiar.
She groaned inwardly and looked at him, at the tall, well-built man looking more gorgeous than the last time she saw him.
Rayden Montero, her best kept shame. Her worst nightmare!
“Not happy to see me, I see,” he said in his usual all too confident tone.
She stepped back to avoid his hard frame. “You’re right, Mr. Montero. What are you doin’ here?” She didn’t hide her annoyance dahil nagsirko na naman ang puso niya nang makita ang nakangiting mukha nito.
“Waiting for you.”
“Why?”
“I believe you owe me dinner. You said it the last time we saw each other, remember?”
“But I...” Hindi na niya naituloy ang sasabihin dahil hinila na siya nito. Napansin niyang pinagtitinginan sila ng mga kasama niyang modelo. Lalo na ang lalaking kasama niya.
Sa labas ay may naghihintay sa kanilang stretched Limo. Inalalayan siya ni Rayden sa pagsakay. Umupo siya sa pinakadulong bahagi ng expensive leather seat. She wanted space between them. Natawa naman ito sa kanya.
Umusad and sasakyan. Rayden pushed a button and issued an order to the chauffer. “Just drive around.”
“This is abduction Mr. Montero.” sabi niya, pero hindi niya magawang magalit nang totoo. Deep inside, despite her rebellious feelings towards him, she was craving his presence. Damn you, Rayden. You can’t do this to me!
“Rayden, my name is Rayden, Jenny,”
Nagulat si Jenalyn sa pangalang sinabi nito. Kinabahan siyang baka kilala na siya ng lalaki.
“Why did you call me that?” she said frowning, her eyes intently looking at him, waiting for his answer. Nakita niyang mukhang nalito rin ito.
“I don’t know. I just remembered somebody with the same name,” he said still looking confused.
“Whatever,” she said casually, thinking it was impossible that she was the one he was talking about.
“So...Where do you wanna eat?” tanong ni Rayden.
“I am not really hungry. I’m tired and I need to rest.”
Tahimik na nakatingin sa labas ng glass window ng limo si Jenalyn, pinipilit ang sariling huwag paapekto sa presensya ng lalaki. Gusto niyang iparamdam ditong nabu-bore siya. Who are you kidding? Bored is the last thing you’re feeling right now, her inner voice taunted her.
“Why do I have this feeling, that you were deliberately ignoring me?” Rayden asked, looking at her with intense eyes.
You noticed! she wanted to say. “What made you think that?”
“Since we first met, your indifference was obvious to me. And I wanna know why?” He moved closer to her.
“I don’t know what you’re taking about.” She tried to sound casual. He was so close that her nerves begun transmitting messages all over her body.
“Are you afraid of me?” he said near her ear.
Jenalyn was trying so hard not to be affected by him. His minty fresh breath fanning her neck made her wanna close her eyes. Bakit ba bigla na lang siyang nainitan? Para pa nga siyang kakapusin ng hininga.
“I am not.” she said with a catch in her voice. She had to keep her cool. She had been all over the world, had met all kinds of gorgeous men. This man was no different. She can handle him. Oh yes, she can!
“Then, why can’t you look at me.”
Just to make her point that she was not affected, she looked at him. And she knew the moment their eyes met that it was a mistake. Because that was all Rayden seemed to have been waiting for.
He claimed her mouth and kissed her.
Oh my God...! Her mind screamed in both shock and denial. But her body betrayed her. Just like it betrayed her before.
She wanted to push him away, but she didn’t. She was responding to his kisses eagerly. He explored her mouth...and then her body.
Jenalyn felt his hand under her top. She had no bra. His hand felt so hot on her skin. A moan escaped from her when he started caressing her breast. It made her delirious.
He kissed her thoroughly and passionately. She responded in the same intensity.
“Oh... honey you are so soft and so sweet.” he said raggedly.
Jenalyn froze. Her eyes opened wide. Finally the past intruded into her drugged mind. Not even his hot kisses can erase the pain she had carried inside of her for so many years. The pain that this very man had inflicted.
Mabilis niya itong itinulak.
Nagulat naman ito sa ginawa niya.
“Don’t try to deny it. You’re not that immune to me,” he said, grinning smugly.
She raised her chin and looked at him mockingly. Her nerves were rioting all over her but she’ll die before she would let him know how much havoc he was causing to her senses. “I admit you were a good kisser. But don’t flatter yourself, Mr. Montero. I had kissed a lot of men, and most were a lot better than you!”
She saw his face change from being confident to being annoyed. She smiled, feeling satisfaction at his reaction. “I wonder how you rate in bed,” she added just to irritate him more.
Rayden’s lips twisted in a masculine sneer. “Is that an invitation? Just say it, sweetheart and I’ll gladly show you how I rate in bed. I promise you, you will forget every single man you have had in the past.”
Jenalyn looked at him, fury rushing into her. She wanted to slap the arrogance off his face. Didn’t you know, you bastard?! Eight years ago, you had ruined me for any other man!
