"Eat more,Claud.Here,do you want meat?"

"How about you,Charm?Want more of this?"

"Slow down,love"

Duke Augustus silently watched the scene in front of him.Asikasong-asikaso ni Cassidy ang mga bata.She was so gentle towards them.Maya't maya nitong pinupunasan ang gilid ng labi ng kambal sa tuwing madudungisan iyon ng pagkain.Magtatanong-tanong ito sa dalawa kung gusto pa nila pagkatapos ay lalagyan ang mga plato.She was barely eating gayong alam niyang gutom rin ito.

Gusto niyang suwayin ito sa ginagawa ngunit nung makita niya kung gaano nito pagtuunan ng pansin ang mga bata,hindi niya mahanap sa saring pigilan ito.She looked so satisfied and willing.She's caring.

Muli siyang naglagay ng alak sa kanyang kopita.Pang-lima na niya iyong lagay.

It was their lunch time and yet he doesn't have the appetite to eat.

"Your grace?"

Napatigil siya sa pagbuhos.Even the voice that he once known and recognized was unfamiliar to his ears.Kung noon ay nang-aakit ang bawat tunog ng pagtawag sa kanya ng boses na iyon,ngayon ay ibang-iba.

It's gentle and sound so. . . innocent.

Nag-angat siya ng tingin.Her worried purple eyes were glaring at him.

Even the way she stares changed.

"You're drinking . . .again.Are you not going to eat?"bumaba ang tingin nito sa alak na hawak niya.Tumalim iyon.Dumidiin ang bawat bigkas.

"Later"or not.

The lady sighed.

"Why not now?"she squinted her eyes.

He just shrugged.

"Have no appetite"rason niya.

"Even so.Kahit magsabaw ka lang o di kaya ay tinapay.Hindi iyong. . ."tuluyan nang sumama ang tingin nito sa kanya.He silently gulped."puro alak"

"I can't force myself to eat when I don't feel the need to"he's testing her.

"Yes you can,your grace"

"Well if you insist then come serve me"

Natameme ito.Munti siyang napangisi at tuluyang naglagay ng alak.

"That's what I thought"

Pero noong akala niya ay titigil  na ang Dukesa,napatigil siya sa pag-inom noong tumunog ang upuan nito at tumayo.

Napatingin ang mga bata sa kanya.Ganun din siya.

"Why po,Mama?"Charm asked.

The Duchess smiled at the little girl.

"Nothing,love.Your father is just being a big baby.Continue eating na"she urged.

The child's innocent eyes wearily glanced at him for a second then nodded at the lady.Nagpatuloy ito sa pagkain.

Augustus couldn't help but swallow as he stare at her stride towards him.

"May I?"parang nanunuya pa ang Dukesa at pekeng ngumiti sa kanya.

Napasandal siya sa kanyang inuupuan nang munti itong yumuko para paglagyan siya ng pagkain.A sweet addictive scent entered his nostrils.Hindi iyon gaanong matapang but it was enough to captivate his senses.She smelled like vanilla and. . .a challenge of temptation

His mouth slightly parted,as he tightly grip the armrest of his chair.He let out a shaky breath.

He's the one who was always cornering her but now that it was her,it made him want to lose.It made him want to surrender to his instincts,one he always ignore.
