Splendiferous (Legazpi #1)

Thirty-five

35.

"Were you, uh, satisfied?" I looked away after regretting that I asked him that question.

His embrace on my waist went tighter. "Very much," he murmured against my neck.

"You didn't get bored?" I bit my lip when he looked at me with confusion. "What I heard from rumors is that you don't do gentle and you're into rough sex. What we had was not the type of sex that you prefer so I assume that I got you bored last night—"

"I enjoyed every second of that night," he cut me off. "It didn't bore me and it was your first so why the hell would I own you in a rough way?"

"Are you sure you weren't bored?" paniniguro ko. "Because I didn't do a thing last night except dugging my nails at your back, pulling your hair,—"

"And moaning my name," he teased with a smirk playing on his lips.

Kaagad na nawala ang hiya kong nararamdaman at napalitan ng masamang mukha ang aking ekspresyon. Hindi ko na lamang pinansin pa ang mga sumunod nitong sinabi at inabot ko na lamang ang bowl na may lamang napakaliliit na strawberries bago ko iyon sinimulang kainin.

"Doll…" muling pangungulit niya sa malambing na tono. Pero tulad kanina ay hindi ko pa rin pinapansin iyon.

"I was just lighting up the mood," he defended and even poked my arm repeatedly.

Tuloy pa rin ako sa pagkain ng mga strawberry at hindi binibigyang atensyon ang kanyang mga pangungulit sa akin. Halos maubos ko na ang laman ng maliit na bowl and before I could get the last piece of strawberry, he already grabbed it.

"Get it from me," he worded and locked the strawberry between his teeth. I frowned and just gazed at the plate of bacons, sausages, and sunny side up eggs to eat it but before I could even reach for the plate, he nudged it away. Hindi ko naman iyon makukuha dahil nakaupo ako sa kanya at nakapulupot ang kanyang braso sa aking bewang.

I gave Xerxes a glare. "Balak mo ba akong gutumin?"

He took the strawberry before speaking. "Hindi ka pa nabusog sa akin kagabi?" he asked with pursed lips, trying not to smirk.

Lalong sumama ang mukha ko at sinubukang kumawala mula sa kanya ngunit mahigpit ang pagkaka-akap nito sa aking bewang.

"Jeez, Xerxes, I want to eat!" I hissed.

"Me?" he flashed a mischievous grin.

"Fruits first, remember?" bawi niya nang lalo ko itong sinimangutan. He showed me the strawberry and gave me a sly smile.

"I already ate some! I'm going for the meal now," I spat and tried to stand up but he still placed me back to sit on his thigh.

"There's still one left," he said, obviously trying to tease me. "Masama ang nagtitira ng pagkain, Arleigne."

My brow went up. "Then give me the strawberry!"

"Get it from me," he commanded again. I pouted my lips, testing if it would make him surrender and just hand me the poor strawberry but it didn't. He still locked it between his teeth and wiggled his brows at me.

I heaved out a sigh and leaned closer towards him. Like what I already expected, he gave me a peck on the lips after I took the small strawberry from him.

A grin plastered on his lips and reached for the plate he nudged a while ago. He took the fork and pricked on the sausage before positioning it in front of me as if he's feeding a baby.

I gave him a look before opening my mouth and taking a bite. I chewed on it and he's just watching me until I finish so he could feed me again.
