CHAPTER 6
KIANNA SOFIA
"What?!" Inis kong binuksan ang pinto. Inaantok pa ko at ang hudas na ito na walang tigil sa pagpindot sa doorbell ang nakapagpabangon sakin.
This is all Thunder's fault! Kung 'di dahil sa labi niya, makakatulog ako ng mahimbing! But, damn, kamuntikan na akong mahulog kung hindi lang niya binanggit ang salitang 'possession'. Gago talaga siya.
I caught my breath when I saw Thunder's eyes staring at me. "What the—"
"Do you always open your door wearing only your underwear?" Thunder’s seductive eyes traveled down my face and rested briefly on my breasts. At least I was wearing a bra, though I could feel the heat of Thunder’s gaze directly against my bare skin, teasing my n*****s.
He was a handsome man—all dark sensuality and wicked spirit. He towered over me and made me feel small and feminine, and I liked the way his gray suit hugged the powerful lines of his body, emphasizing its fierce masculinity. He was a strong man, and not just physically.
I smirked when I caught him swallowed. "Whatever. What are you doing here?"
But then, his face remains expressionless. He stared at me. "Get inside. I'm here to talk to you."
"Talk to me? Sorry, I'm not in the mood. Can't you see? I'm still want to lie down and snooze. And it's my bloody day-off. So, bye-bye."
"Will you just go inside and wear something decent before we talk?" Mariin nitong sabi.
Hindi ako natinag. Itiningala ko ang aking mukha na parang hinahamon ito. "This is my turf, Mister Sandoval. What's your right to order me around?"
"Hey, neighbor! Looking good!" Napatingin kami ni Thunder sa nagsalitang lalaki. Nakilala ko ito. Siya ang kapitbahay ko na matiyagang nag-ja-jogging sa umaga.
Kinawayan ko ito at ngumiti sa kanya ng matamis. "Thanks! Just woke up!"
Tumaas ang isang kilay ko nang marinig ko ang naiinis na ungol ni Thunder. "That's it, woman! I'm super pissed right now."
"Uh, s**t!" Napasigaw ako nang hilahin niya ako papasok sa loob ng aking bahay. Isinarado nito ang pinto at idiniin ako roon. "Thunder!"
He put my arms above my head to prevent me from pushing him. Oh, no. He's hot. "Hindi mo alam kung gaano ako nagpipigil ngayon, Kianna."
"Bakit ka naman nagpipigil, aber?"
"Because I don't want to take your virginity by brutality." I felt my cheeks flushed. Binitawan niya ang kamay ko at hinaplos ang aking pisngi. "Hmm. Oh, no. You're blushing. It turns me on. Bad."
"L-Let go." s**t.
"You stammered." He said softly. His voice is hypnotizing me. I bit my lower lip so bad, para hindi lumabas ang ungol na pinipigilan ko. "Stop biting your lower lip. You'll hurt yourself, Baby. Bite mine instead."
My knees tremble when I felt his powerful leg between my thighs, preventing me from sliding down. Napaiksi lang ng shorts ko kaya ramdam na ramdam ko ang init ng kanyang hita. This is too much.
"Fine! Magbibihis na ako." Hingal kong sabi.
He chuckled. "Good. I'll wait for you here."
"Asshole." Sabi ko habang papaakyat hagdan papunta sa aking kwarto.
"It's too early for you to cuss, Sweetheart. Decent clothes, okay? If you don't want to get s***k, cover your damn sexy ass."
I rolled my eyes on him.
"Gago." I murmured.
I did my morning rituals before taking a bath. Napili kong isuot ang itim na leggings at pinatungan ko ng mahabang t-shirt na hanggang kalahati ng aking hita. Bakit ba kasi siya nandidito?
May pa-talk-talk pa siyang nalalaman. Tuktukan ko siya, eh.
Bumaba ako at naabutan ko itong tinitingnan ang mga pictures na nakasabit sa pader ng apartment ko. "Hoy."
"That's inappropriate to call your boss-s***h-lover." Sabi nito habang hindi siya nakatingin sa akin.
"Lover?! No way! Kung gusto ko ng lover, edi sana, naghanap nalang ako ng aso. Loyal pa 'yun."
He shrugged. His eyes are drown to me. "But you can't have s*x with a dog."
I facepalmed. "Ang dumi ng utak mo. Ano ba kasi ang ginagawa mo dito? Day-off ko ngayon, ah."
"I want to talk to you." Napaatras ako nang magdalawang-hakbang ito palapit sa akin.
"Ano ba ang pag-uusapan natin?"
"Nakatulog ka ba ng mahimbing kagabi?"
Oh, no. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin. "Oo naman. Himbing na himbing nga ako, e."
Thunder flashed a grin. "Really? Because I don't, Kianna. I can still feel your fingers clawing on my chest. I can still feel your lips on mine, desperate to be eaten. I can't take you out of my system, Miss Seville."
"Kissing you is my worst mistake. I shouldn't have did that. Erase it on your memory." I keep on walking backwards habang ito naman ay pasulong ng pasulong sa akin.
Hindi na ako nagulat nang wala na akong maasugan dahil nakaharang na ang sofa sa aking likod. Itinuntong nito ang dalawang braso sa magkabilang gilid ko. Kinagat ko ang aking ibabang labi dahil sa init ng tingin nito sa akin.
I felt how my heart beats so damn fast.
"Mistake, huh?" His eyes traveled down on my lips. Binasa nito ang sariling labi. "And if I don't want to forget it? What will you do? Hmm, Miss Seville? Are you going to beg? Are you going to kneel in front of me and say, please?"
"Beg? No. Kill you. Yes." I said breathlessly. Stop, please. My knees can't take the sensation anymore.
He moved closer and the spicy scent of his aftershave wafted into my nostrils. I inhaled it, nearly keeling over backwards as the sexy aroma surrounded me and grasped my senses. God, he smelled good. "Interesting. Kill me by what? Using your claws? What a wildcat."
"I'm not." I said.
He smirked. "Yes, you are."
"Prove it then."
"My pleasure."
My surroundings completely faded as I lost myself in the kiss. His mouth was firm and warm, his tongue lazy as it danced with mine. My entire body went soft, my muscles turning to jelly while my thighs quivered. I ran my fingers over Thunder’s hair, his spiky hair tickling my palms. He responded by sliding one hand to my waist, while angling my head with the other in order to deepen the kiss.
This is crazy.
I couldn’t stop the rush of desire swirling through my body. I placed my palms against Thunder’s rock-hard chest, moaning at the feel of his defined pecs and the thump of his heart under my fingers. His hands slipping under my white big shirt. He stroked the bare skin of my belly, then moved his hands north and cupped my full breasts.
“Ugh!” he choked out, squeezing my breasts over my bra. “I could probably come just from fondling these.”
"Hey! That's off-limits!" I said while my hand's smacking his head.
"Aray!"
Inayos ko ang damit ko. Nanginginig pa rin ako dahil nararamdaman ko pa rin ang init ng haplos ni Thunder aa dibdib ko. Damn him.
"Tigilan mo na ako, Thunder Von Sandoval. Hindi mo ako makukuha. Ayoko sa'yo."
"At sino ang gusto mo? Si Terrence? I have him investigated. He's just fooling you."
Kaya pala niya kinuha 'yung plate number ng sasakyan ni Terrence. Tsk. Whatever. "I don't like him either. I'm just playing with him."
"You don't have to play with other male species! Play with me instead."
"Dream on." I rolled my eyes at him.
Hid lips form a hard thin line. "s**t. Why do you keep on rejecting me?"
"I don't play with playboys. Put that on your record." I snapped.
"I'm not a player. How many times do I have to explain that to you?" He said coldly.
I raised my eyebrow at him. "Ask me if I care."
"You do. You're attracted to me, Kianna. Believe me." What the—? How did he—? Oh, s**t. Am I too transparent?
"Get out of my house. It's my day-off, damn it."
"I can make you fall in love with me again." He said while staring at me.
"Impossible. What? You will make me fall just by seducing me right now?"
"You think I'm seducing you already?" He laughed softly. I held my breath when he reached my hair and tucked it behind my ears. "Baby, I haven't even started."
I gulped. "No. You can't. I'll send my resignation letter tomo—"
He moved closer. I can feel his hot breath on my ear. "If you do that, I'm going to destroy every company na papasukan mo. Would you like that to happen, Baby? Makakaya kaya ng konsensya mo na mawalan ng trabaho ang lahat ng tao doon nang dahil sa'yo?"
"You won't do that." Mariin kong sabi.
"Try me."
"I hate you, Thunder Von!"
"Why hate me? When you have every reasons to love me, Miss Seville?" He said seductively.
