I don’t know how to feel as I see my big portrait above the fireplace of the mansion’s library. Should I be creep out right now? Should I just leave this place because now I am thinking that the man I have s*x with is crazy? Maybe obsessed with me? Or a stalker na sinundan ako sa Italy at naghintay lang siya ng pagkakataon na mapalapit sa akin? Natawa ako sa huli kong naisip. Ang isang katulad niya? Stalker ko? More likely the other way around.
“Lexine.” I almost jumped with his voice and I turned to him immediately.
"What the hell! You scared me!" I told him loudly and irritated. Seryoso lang siyang tumingin sa akin. He is looking handsome as usual wearing his business suit.
"What are you doing here angel?" I glare at him. Why does he keep calling me angel? As far as I know, I'm not one!
"Stop calling me angel..." I softly said. "I was looking for you. I told you earlier that we need to talk. Besides, I can't stay here any longer." his face darkens, his hands going to the pocket of his pants.
"Who says you're leaving tesoro... You'll stay here with me as long as I want." Matigas niyang sabi. Lumayo naman ako sa kanya at napahawak ako sa aking ulo.
"Baliw ka na ba talaga? We just met! How could I even stay with you kung hindi pa kita lubusang nakikilala! And look!” sabay turo ko sa portrait ko. “Why do you have these?!”
“Because you are mine. I like to stare at the beautiful face of yours, and I can’t help it. I painted that. I know what you're thinking right now but I assure you that I am not a bad person. Well, maybe a little bit.”
“V, naguguluhan na talaga ako. Why are you doing this? Sandali pa lang tayo na nagkakilala. You just gave me your jacket that night at once lang tayo nagkasama sa yacht mo kahapon. I know you save me, alam ko na may mangyari sa atin pero bakit inaangkin mo na ako?” lumapit siya sa akin pero umatras naman ako. He sighs heavily and he frustratedly comb her hair with his fingers. The same fingers who played with my center earlier. Napakuyom palad ako sa aking naisip at gusto kong sampalin ang sarili ko.
"I'll explain everything to you, okay, Lexine,” he said. Being rational, I shut my mouth and wait for his explanation. I heard him putting ice on a glass then he poured some whiskey. "Five years ago, someone attempted to kill me and my father." I look at him without speaking and he walks in front of the fireplace. "He almost succeeded, shooting 8 bullets in my body. My father died, but I survived. That night, I thought I was not gonna make it until I saw you. You suddenly showed up on that dark road and saved me. You were telling me not to give up, to be strong. I remember you holding me, your sweet voice encouraging me. Don't you remember Lexine?" I frown trying to recall what he's saying. Five years ago, what was I doing then? I was a student back then, a senior, dean lister, and when I graduated, my father treated me to a vacation in Italy. I feel like I've been poured with cold water when I remember the man that I saw on the road bloody and weak from his gunshot wounds.
"Oh my god..." I murmur and I stare at him. I was there and I called an ambulance. I tried to stop the bleeding from his wounds, just talking even though I was so scared.
"I was in a coma for two months and in my dreams you're the only person that I see. I loved you then and when I woke up, I did everything to find you, they say that I'm crazy looking for an imaginary woman. And after five long and desperate years that I almost gave up, I finally found you." I can see in his face the sincerity and I know that he is telling the truth. I also don't know how I would feel. With what I heard he sounded so dedicated to finding me but scary at the same time. Love, he told me loves me. That is really impossible! You can't love a person just seeing her, me in his dreams. Maybe he's so desperate to survive a bit, why does it need to be me? "I know this is hard to handle but I love you and I'll do anything for you to love me back." I place my palm on my forehead, I'm having a headache and my chest is like a ticking bomb ready to explode.
"When did you see me again?" I ask, stifling my nerves so he wouldn't notice that I am trembling.
"At my hotel." he immediately answered, "When I saw you on the beach, I knew I wouldn't ever let you go."
"I tried to stay back then..." I softly said. "Tried to find out your family so I could tell them what happened. But the doctor said that you're okay, that they will take care of you. So I left." I slowly get up from the couch and he walks close to me. I place my hand on his cheek and his face leans on it. Kaya pala mukhang pamiyar siya. Kaya pala naiisip ko na nakita ko na siya before. Siya ang lalake na niligtas ko noon and I am glad that he is okay, alive and well. He’s been looking for me, he loves me… HE LOVES ME! This is so surreal! I can’t, I can’t believe this!
"Are you playing games with me? You can't possibly love me just because of that. That's totally impossible!" Hindi makapaniwala kong sabi. I am stunned when his hand suddenly encircles my neck, not tight but enough to hold my head in place. His eyes darken and I am really scared shitless now.
"How dare you doubt my love for you..." he calmly said with a hardness edge on it. "I thought I'm going to die, I was prepared to stay in that darkness and you saved me. You were there and never left me. I wanted to touch you, to feel you, to care for you as you did in my dreams but that's what all you are. I never believed that you were just a dream, I love you, always you." he pushes me back on the couch, both of his legs on my side, caging me in. He slides his hands on my breast and gently squeezes it, my n*****s hardening just by his touch. He breathes me in and I shiver. "And now I know you're real, close to me, I would never let you go. You belong to me, no other man will touch you, kiss you, bring you pleasure, only me and I'll make sure of that." I stare at him.
"You're a psychopath..." he smirks and I can't believe that I'm getting turned on. Oh you traitorous body! Why am I getting wet!
"Aren't we all?" he licks the side of my face. "You smell of me angel..."
"That's because I use your soap and shampoo." He raised his chin and the light in his eyes came back.
"You may deny it all you want but I know you want me as well. This connection between us is so palpable that I can almost taste it." I breathe him in, and his scent just drives me wild. He's right, totally right! We do have a connection and it's so firing that I even scorch myself. "I bet you're wet right now." I suddenly averted my eyes.
"Stop teasing me..." I feel his hand slide up to my thighs and I kind of struggle but he pins me down. "This is not the right time to do this, V. We have a lot to talk about."
"I told you everything. What more do you want?"
"How would you know that I'll love you just the way you do? By keeping me here?"
"No, I'm asking you to give me a chance. I know you loved that man, but give me a chance."
"Are you gonna keep me here? Are you going to keep me like a prisoner with no opinions, with nowhere to go?" his face softens.
"You can do anything you want, angel. You can go shopping, at the beach, you can explore all of Italy. I'm not going to take your freedom from you. I just want to make one thing clear, run away from me, I will find you, and bring you back here myself."
"Is that a threat?" he brings his face close and I stare at him with wide eyes. "I'll consider it."
"Good girl..." and he crushed his lips to mine. I feel his fingers graze my slit and he pushes two fingers inside my core and I moan, his tongue plunging in. I moan through his wild kiss, my hands grasp his nape making the kiss deeper. He pumps his fingers into me and I open my legs to give him more access. Someone clears his throat and we stop. Vincenzo said some Italian words and he sounded pissed. I hide my face to his chest that is blushing furiously. What a slut have I become! And this is all his fault. "Get out!" he orders and I hear the opening and closing of the door. I hit him on the chest and he didn't even flinch.
"That was so embarrassing!" I angrily said but I moaned when his fingers moved in and out of me again. He kisses me as his fingers move faster and I moan loudly as I reach my orgasm, an intense toe curling orgasm. "You...you pervert..." he chuckles as he removes his fingers and licks my c*m from it.
"I need to see some things. Stay here, wait for me. Rico will be bringing you some food." As he mentioned food, my stomach starts to rumble and he grins. "I should have taken care of you better. Stay here Xin." tumango lang naman ako at umalis na siya. I sigh heavily and lean on the couch. Why can't I refuse him? Why do I like what he's doing to me? With his confession, I don't know what I would feel. He loves me, he loves me and I feel giddy inside. I pinch my legs together still feeling his fingers and now my panty is wet.
I heard a knock on the door, a man came in, muscly, tall, and no hair. He looks like a wrestler based on how bulky he is. He must be Rico... He's holding a tray with my food on it that I can smell, and it smells divine. My stomach grumbles again. He sets it down on the center table, nods at me as I say thank you and leaves. I almost drool on the food, carbonara, salad, jell-o dessert and a glass of wine and water. I sat on the floor and started to eat. I finished it fast, and drank the wine and water. I waited for him in the library and after an hour, he didn't come back. Of course I got bored easily, so I decided to explore this castle-like mansion. As I closed the door of the library, I heard a gunshot from the outside of the house. Although I am scared, I went out just to see what that is.
