"YOU DON'T LIKE it, huh, daddy?" I asked, giggling.

"Shut up, Serafine!" his voice roared, clearly annoyed.

I chuckled harder, clinging tighter to his neck as he held my waist firmly to steady me. Nasa elevator kami ngayon patungo sa kanyang condo.

The elevator's doors suddenly opened. I narrowed my eyes when a group of women stepped in, their smiles widening the moment they saw Rai.

"Good night, Engineer!" they greeted.

"Good night," Rai replied coolly, then he turned back to me just as I nearly stumbled again. "Kakargahin na kita."

"Ayaw!" I hissed, rolling my eyes.

Mas kumapit ako sa kanya. He sighed, keeping his hand steady to support me. I giggled, leaning closer without thinking and brushing my nose against his neck.

His scent is addicting—sensual and manly.

"You smell great, Daddy," I whispered, pressing myself even closer.

"Sera..." he warned.

"Why? Don't you like it when I call you daddy?" I teased, lumalayo para kalabitin ang ilong niya.

Gasps echoed around us.

Rai shot me a sharp glare, but I only grinned mischievously.

"Hmm..." I hummed, smiling naughtily again.

"U-Uh, una na kami, Engineer!" the flustered women said before stepping out of the elevator when the doors opened, but Rai didn't even glance at them. Iritado siyang nakatingin pero wala akong pakialam at nakangiti lang sa kanya.

"You're really, really handsome, Rai," I whispered as I reached for his cheek.

"You should rest." His gaze softened as he brushed a few strands of hair away from my face.

"Hmm, okay..." I answered in a sing-song voice.

My eyes dropped to his lips, then back to his eyes, and I swallowed hard.

"I... suddenly wanna kiss you," I whispered.

He cursed under his breath. His jaw clenched, his throat bobbing as he stared down at me.

"Bawal ba?" I pouted.

"No... just..." He sighed. "I won't take advantage of you just because you're drunk."

"Oh... That's so sad," I said softly, frowning.

He chuckled, shaking his head, but when the elevator chimed, his expression shifted. He tightened his grip on my waist and guided me out carefully.

When I could no longer walk properly and kept stumbling, he swiftly scooped me up with one arm, not giving me a chance to protest.

I closed my eyes, inhaling his scent. Naramdaman ko ang lamig sa balat ko at maya-maya pa'y naramdaman ang pagbaba niya sa 'kin sa malambot na kama.

I slowly opened my eyes, catching the blurry image of him loosening the cuffs of his dress shirt.

"R-Rai," antok kong tawag, humihikab.

Narinig ko ang yapak niya kasunod nang paglubog ng parte ng kama sa tabi ko. Then, I felt his hand gently stroking my hair. Nahulog ang talukap nang mga mata ko't tuluyan nang dinalaw ng antok.

IN THE MORNING, I woke up light-headed and dizzy. Kinusot ko ang mata ko nang maramdaman ang pagtama ng liwanag sa mukha ko.
