Chapter 18

"Don't you think you're showing too much skin, Tate?"

Mula sa repleksyon ng vanity mirror ay tiningnan ko si Zadriel na kunot noo akong pinapanood habang nakaupo sa dulo ng kama. Bahagyang salubong ang kilay niya at tila ba naguguluhan sa ayos ko.

Ibinalik ko ang tingin ko sa sarili at mabilis na pinasadahan ang ayos. I'm wearing a black floral romper that exposed my long and slender legs. Disente na ito kumpara sa una kong naisip na isuot na pulang tube top at white skirt. Balak ko sanang akitin si Dashiel kaya lang ay baka hindi niya bet ang mga ganoong pananamit sa isang babae. Compared to Zadriel, Dashiel looks more serious. Sa itsura man o sa galaw. Baka hindi niya gusto ang babaeng lantad ang katawan masiyado.

Are you seriously hitting on him, Tatiana?

Natawa ako sa takbo ng sariling isip.

No. I just want to make flirt with him. Wala akong planong gawin kasama siya ang bagay na ginagawa namin ng pinsan niya.

"Am I? Nakilala mo akong ganito na manamit. I even dressed more daring than this the first time we met. Anong hanash mo diyan, Zadriel?" balik ko, ang paningin ay nasa sarili na at sa buhok na sinusuklay.

"This is a province, Tate. This is far different from city. People here might think that you are liberated-"

"So be it," I laughed. "Come on, Zad. Don't be too uptight. I didn't strike you as a conservative man. I am not even showing my cleavage here!"

Hindi siya nakasagot. Ibinalik ko ang paningin sa kanya. He's just staring at me like he doesn't want to have an any argumentation against me anymore. Muli akong natawa.

Ibinaba ko ang hawak na suklay, ang paningin ay hindi inaalis sa kanya. Seryoso pa rin siyang nakatitig sa akin dahilan para pagtaasan ko siya ng kilay. A taunting chuckle escaped my throat.

Hinarap ko siya, ang puwetan ay nakasandal sa drawer. Pinagkrus ko ang mga braso ko sa ibabaw ng aking dibdib at pinaningkitan siya ng mga mata.

"Looks like someone is starting to feel concerned towards me..."

He avoided my gaze and shook his head slowly. Agad niya rin ibinalik ang tingin sa akin. He tilted his head and licked his bottom lips in a very sexy way.

"I'm just saying that your clothes is somehow inappropriate in this place."

I smirked. "Don't worry too much about me, Zad. I can handle myself pretty well."

Bago pa siya makasagot, umalis na ako sa pagkakasandal at naglakad patungo ss kanya. He watched me through his hawk-like eyes. Feeling like he already knows what I am about to do, he spread his arms and held me on my waist before guiding me as I sit on his lap. Iniangkla ko ang mga kamay ko paikot sa leeg niya at sinalubong ang titig niya.

"Why are you so concerned about me, huh?" I asked, removing some of his hair from his forehead.

His piercing and dark eyes were drilling into mine. If I was just a common girl, I would honestly feel intimidated at the way he stares at me. It's so intense and bone chilling. Too bad I'm already used to it.

"I can't see anything wrong with that." he said huskily, both of his thumb were softly caressing my waist.

"You aren't supposed to feel that emotion towards me, Zad. I'm just your bed warmer as you are to me. That feeling isn't necessary to what we have right now," I said straightforwardly that made me notice the extra darkness that dance in his eyes. However, I still managed to let out a smirk. "Don't tell me you're already falling for me?"
