S7VEN (La Familia Kingpin Series #1)

22. One Step Higher?

SANTY

The King takes his Queen out!

Those are the words that were printed on the front page of the Royal Gazette. I ran my fingers over the paper, silently admiring the candid photo of me and Seven.

I am living the ultimate dream, sabi pa ng writer. Okay, maybe I could agree with that.

Hindi ko napigilan ang mapangiti habang binabasa ang nakasulat sa ibaba ng picture namin ni Seven.

After changing his Facebook status from single to married, the elusive casino magnate and debonaire Seven Torrevillas made every woman in the Reino weep and broken.

The public went wild, in search of the lucky queen. And last night, a rare sighting of the dashing multi-billionaire with a beautiful woman in emerald gown taking fashion into new heights with her blush pink flip flops!

Mr. and Mrs. Torrevillas were photographed while exiting the premiere night of a well-renowned play...

Embarrassment crawl into my chest as the words sank in. I looked awful in the photo with my husband's coat covering the topmost of my dress and to fan the flames, may suot akong pink slippers na may heart sa magkabilang sipit.

Holy! Of all the times na pwede akong makuhanann ng picture kasama si Seven, bakit 'yung time pa na iyon? Mukha 'kong yagit na inanalalayan ni Seven papasok sa nag hihintay na Maybach.

What an epic first public photo!

"Oh, God! Magagalit sa 'kin si Eris," I facepalmed.

Naiiling na tinupi ko ang dyaryo at kinuha ang cellphone. Kailangan kong i-check kung nag message ito sa 'kin. Malaki pa naman ang bilin nito kagabi sa kanya na dapat ay maging presentable siya lalo pa't eto ang gumawa ng dress na suot niya.

Eris recently opened her own fashion brand and volunteered to dress me last night. Panigurado nag pa-panic na ito ngayon. Pero bago ko pa mabuksan iyon ay may isang malaking kamay na ang kumuha noon mula sa 'kin.

"What are you doing?

"Seven."

Nag angat ako ng paningin at bigla inisip ko sana hindi na lang pala. My husband's handsome and sharp feature is always a sight to behold. Mas lalo itong naging gwapo sa paningin ko. There's something new to him, hindi ko lang matukoy.

"No phones on the dining," he reminded me with a glint of irritation in his dark chocolate eyes.

But I'm busy appreciating his beauty to fully digest his comment or be affected by it.

He's sexy as sin.

Bumbaba ang mga mata ko sa full lips ni Seven. Hindi ko napigilang mapalunok. It's the same lips that brought me last night to the pleasure I didn't know possible or even existed in the first place.

Yes, before ka nagpalamon sa antok! Kastigo ko sa sarili.

Mabilis kong idinako sa suot ng kaharap ang atensiyon dahil bigla akong nahiya nang maalala ang ginawa ako kagabi. I was intoxicated so like every heroine of my fave romance books, I made a fool of myself last night.

Image of me sitting on the toilet, touching the most sensitive part of my body while he's on the other side, invaded my brain. I squirmed and nibble my lower lips. Dahil hindi pa doon natatapos ang naging kabaliwan ko.

Gosh. I could still hear my voice asking Seven 'why are you always back fucking me'.

Yes, it's verbatim, and now as I stared at the most captivating and intense dark chocolate orbs I've ever laid my eyes on, I'm whising na nagising na lang akong isang bedsheet or cactus ngayong umaga. Nakakahiya.
