Chapter 23

I groaned as I looked at the mirror. Red marks littered my neck. Mayroon din sa dibdib and Lucius knows where. Urgh. Spaghetti strapped dress is out of the options then.

"Bee, why aren't you getting dress yet? Baka malate tayo." Sabi sa akin ni Lucius.

I turned around and glared at him. But I saw him getting dressed. Hindi pa niya tapos ibutones ang shirt niya so his abs is in full display in front of me. Ang inis ko ay unti-unting natutunaw dahil sa hotness niya.

Snap out of it Solana! Galit ka, galit!

I cleared my throat and glared at him again, but I know it's too late when I saw him smirking. He caught me ogling at him, again.

"It's your fault! You know we have a party to attend to, tapos tinadtad mo ng kiss marks ang leeg ko. Now I have to search for turtlenecks." Nakapamewang na reklamo ko sa kanya.

But instead of feeling sorry ay nginisian niya ako. "Of course, I need to mark what's mine. My wife is a very attractive woman. Dogs will linger around unless they saw the owning marks. The bands on your finger won't be enough so I added something that's more visible."

Naningkit ang mga mata ko. "You like them to see your marks, huh?"

Lumapit siya sa akin. His fingers pulled the robe aside, revealing the red marks on my chest. His fingers gently caressed it. "Yeah."

Nakikiliti ako sa ginagawa niya kaya hinuli ko ang kanyang kamay. "I'll grant your wish, then." Sabi ko bago siya tinalikuran. Habang nagahahanap ako ng maiisuot ay naglalambing pa siya, but I immediately dismissed it. Baka hindi pa kami matuloy kung magpapadala ako sa tukso. Knowing him, he'll really want for us to stay dahil sa nangyari kanina.

I wore an off-shoulder black dress. The top has lighter shade, almost gray, and the skirt has darker shade. Hanggang ilalim ito ng aking tuhod. It has a sweetheart neckline, revealing half of my cleavage and, obviously, the kiss marks. Dahil sa maputi ang balat ko, it's glaring like an attention seeker. Nagdadalawang isip tuloy ako kung itutuloy na ito ang suot, but I didn't back out dahil tutuksuhin ako ni Lucius. I paired it with a strap heels.

Matapos magbihis ay naglagay lang ako ng light makeup. I let my natural wavy platinum blonde hair down and kept it in place by putting hair pin on both sides. I didn't wore other accessories maliban na lang sa wedding at engagement ring ko. After putting perfume on, I grabbed my purse and went out.

"Tesoro, lets go." Sabi ko nang makita ko si Lucius na nasa sala at nagtatype sa phone niya. Nang nadining niya ang boses ko ay ibinaba niya ang kanyang phone at lumingon sa akin. He looked at me up and down and stared at me chest. To be specific, to the hickeys on my cleavage, or he's just staring at my cleavage?

"Please don't tell me we will cancel our plan and just stay here all night."

He snapped out of his stare at saka tumingin sa aking mga mata. He walked towards me and pulled me to the waist before giving me a gentle peck on the lips. Dahil sa magbabar nga kami ay matte ang ginamit kong lipstick so it didn't stain his lips.

"I don't know if my marks will keep those dogs off of you tonight given how gorgeous you are. I'm contemplating if it's a good decision to put my marks here." His finger travelled on my cleavage, pertaining to the hickeys on it. I visibly shivered as his finger travelled to my collar bone, to my shoulder.

"Well, I won't get change now as we will be late." Sabi ko. He sighed dahil alam niyang hindi niya mababago ang isip ko.

Umalis kami sa penthouse at sakay na ng elevator nang bubulong-bulong pa siya ng mga salitang hindi ko madinig. There were a few people who ride it with us a few floors down. Some men kept glancing at me at mukhang napansin iyon ni Lucius dahil pinulupot niya ang isa niyang braso sa baywang ko a marahan akong hinila palapit, pressing my side to his.
