"Just be mine. Mine alone, baby..."

My body stiffened. My whole system went blank. Hindi ko alam kung ano'ng sasabihin ko sa gusto niyang mangyari. It was so tempting and I am at the verge of agreeing with his play, but I still need to think first. Hindi puwede na siya lang ang makikinabang dito.

"I'm patiently waiting, Leon. Don't make me move just for you to agree on the bet," he harshly uttered.

I swallowed hard. Matapang na sinalubong ko ang mga mata niyang nakatutunaw kung makatitig ngayon. Ang kamay niya ay nanatili sa aking pisngi at patuloy na hinahaplos ng kaniyang hinlalaking daliri ang ibabang labi ko.

"You're not bluffing, do you?" I asked back, not breaking the staring contest.

Hangga't maaari ay ipapakita ko na hindi ko na hahayaan na maapektuhan niya ang sistema ko. Hinding-hindi ko bibigyan ng satisfaction na maaaring gusto niyang makita sa reaksyon ko.

"I don't have time fooling around, Leon," he nonchalantly replied. "I'm a man with words afterall."

Napataas ang kilay ko. "I don't believe it."

He chuckled as his eyes landed on my lips again. Napalunok ulit ako habang nakatitig lang sa mukha niya. Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko at wala na akong pakialam kung marinig niya 'yon dahil hindi ko naman mapipigilan ang pagwawala ng dibdib ko.

"Then, let's try..." he whispered.

Sa isang salitang bibitawan ko ay mababago ang takbo ng buhay ko. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung ano'ng magbabago, but I'm definitely sure, this won't gonna be easy for me, since I'm dealing with Theodore Aradame Reverio, a jerk and wicked billionaire.

Ilang minuto kami sa posisyon namin. Tanging pagnood ko lang sa kaniyang mukha ang aking ginagawa, nagbabaka-sakali na may mabasa ako kung ano'ng tumatakbo sa utak niya sa mga oras na 'to, but like earlier, he still looked so stern and serious, as if he was proposing a real business project with his ally.

I sighed. "I know you're a manipulative jerk, kaya hindi ako naniniwalang wala kang kondisyon sa gusto mong mangyari."

The side of his lips rose as he was still looking at me intently. "Of course, I have. Isa lang naman. No other man is allowed to touch you, except your family."

I chuckled without humor. "Such a possessive man we have here." I looked at him blankly. "I would agree on that fucking dare of yours, but I don't want your condition. I can be wicked as you do, Theo. Kung ikaw ay may mga babae 'tapos ako ay bawal makipaglapit sa ibang lalaki? That sounds unfair, don't you think?"

His jaw clenched as his hand firmed on my right cheek. "Then, no other woman for me too."

"Sounds more impossible," I sarcastically said. "Ikaw? Hi-hindi-an ang mga babae? Sa pagkakaalam ko, you already fucked half of the population of the girls here."

"You're exaggerating, baby..." he whispered. "Yes, I do fucked other woman, but I can stop if that's what you want."

"Don't tell me that you'd just stop because I said so," I flatly replied.

He chuckled. "Uh, yeah... I've been planning to stop fucking other woman though."

Iniwas ko na lang ang paningin ko sa kaniya. Bakit ba napunta sa mga babae niya ang usapan?

"I don't care with your women," I firmly uttered. "Just don't interfere with my men too."

"You have men? Really?" sarkastikong tanong niya. "The CEO collections you have?"

"Puwede ba?!" I hissed as I glared at him.

He laughed. "Alright. I'll shut the fuck up, baby. Then, this is a deal?"
