"BOSS NAKIKINIG ka ba?"

Napalingon naman siya sa sekretarya na halatang naiinis na. He's been occupied since this morning. "I need you to focus here, Luca."

Tunay ngang nakuha nito ang buong atensyon niya sa pagtawag nito ng tunay na pangalan. He slowly lifted his head only to see people looking at him amazed. Marahil siguro ay ngayon lang kasi siya nawalan ng focus sa trabaho.

"Let's proceed with the presentation," sabi niya matapos tumikhim. Isinawalang bahala na muna niya ang iniisip at sinubukang makinig ng maayos sa nagsasalita sa harap.

He's doing a photoshoot for his twin's magazine, Raja Magazine. Kasama na din dito ang dalawa pa niyang pinsan. Pumayag nalang din siya dahil buong pamilya nila ang ifi-feature. Ito ang hinihingi nitong tulong sakanya ng muli itong umuwi ng Pinas.

His phone beeped again. Ng makita ang pangalan ni Catia sa screen ay madali niya itong binuksan.

Damn this woman.

It's a picture of her lying in his bed while wearing a see-through lingerie. Her pinkish skin glowed in broad daylight.

[Still at work?] Mga katagang kalakip ng litratong pinadala ng dalaga. He groaned silently. She's really tempting, at the same time, she doesn't know her effects on him.

"Are you trying to seduce me to come home earlier?" He replied.

Alas-otso palang ng umaga pero dahil gabi hanggang madalang araw ang trabaho niya ay considered na ang eight a.m. as late. He's supposed to be sleeping with Catia. Kung di lang dahil sa pakulo ng kambal niya.

[Not really. Just asking. I think I should sleep without you.]

Hindi niya na kinaya. The anticipation is killing him, he must go home asap. Tumikhim siya at tumingin sa mga kameeting. "Just send me the details regarding this meeting. I have an emergency at home." A sexy emergency.

He didn't bother waiting for their response. Davis just smirked at him. Ito na muna ang bahala sa lahat. He drove fast hanggang sa makarating sa mismong tapat ng bahay.

He found his kiska on his bed fast asleep. Siguro nga ay nakatulog na ito kakahintay sakanya. He's the one who asked her to stay for the day. Gusto niyang sulitin ang nalalabing araw kasama ang dalaga. He wants to remember every carefree day he has left with her.

Remembering how wild she can get the night at the party made him proud. He never thought that Catia could be more tempting. She totally stood out from everyone, and it makes him want her more kahit hindi maaari.

Agad niya itong nilapitan. He planted soft kisses on her face kaya nangingiti itong nagising. "You're home earlier than expected." Hinalikan naman niya ito sa labi bilang tugon.

"Yeah? You just tempted me with that picture of yours," kunwari ay naiinis niyang sabi dito habang tinatanggal na ang damit pangtrabaho.

"I just want to show you that I'm ready to sleep." Nakangiti at malambing na sagot naman nito.

For months na magkasama sila ay di niya maiwasang mabighani sa dalaga. She really is a challenge for him. He wants to keep her, but he knows he can't. he shouldn't.

He can't like her. Matagal na din namang klaro sa dalaga na hindi commitment ang relasyon nila. It's just give and take. But damn, he can't surely resist her sexual charm.

Agad siyang niyakap nito ng makahiga na din siya sa higaan with only his boxer briefs on. "I love your warmth," bulong nito at mas siniksik pa ang sarili. He groaned in protest pero hindi niya ito inilayo.
