"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.
I felt so comfortable. The soft bed I was lying on was far better than the cold floor I usually slept on.
I stopped. May kama na kami?
Napaupo ako sa kama. My lips parted slowly as I looked around the room and realized that I wasn't at our house!
I remembered partying at the bar with my friends... getting drunk... and then...ang susi ni Rai! I gasped, covering my mouth, then quickly checked under the blanket. Thank God I was still wearing the same clothes I wore last night!
I heard the splashing of water from the bathroom near the bed. Nakasarado ang pinto nito, pero sigurado akong may tao roon na naliligo. Si Rai! Oh, shit!
I covered my face, letting out a silent squeal. Ano bang ginawa ko kagabi? Did I do something embarrassing?
The shower stopped. My eyes widened in panic. Sa panic, dagli akong humiga ulit sabay pikit ng mga mata, nangpapanggap na tulog.
The door opened. Binuksan ko nang kaunti ang mata at muntik nang mapasinghap nang makitang papalabas si Rai na tuwalya lang ang suot!
He was practically naked! Water dripped from his hair down his cheek, a towel clinging to his waist.
He seemed oblivious that I was awake. He licked his lips, tilted his head, and rubbed his jaw. "I should have fucking shaved," he murmured.
I grinned secretly. Ang guwapo ni Engineer!
His phone rang. He glanced at the table beside the bed, and I quickly shut my eyes again.
I felt him sit beside me, answering the call.
"Alright, just leave the clothes there," aniya.
Muling binuksan ko nang maliit ang mata para sumilip kaya napatitig ako sa kanyang likod. I noticed the droplets of water still clingin and falling dramatically to his skin.
His sun-kissed complexion, his defined muscles—they were enough to make me shiver.
"Okay. Ihahatid ko lang at dederetso na ako sa opisina," he said to the person on the other line
I licked my lower lip, shamelessly staring at his back. He couldn't see me anyway.
"Prepare the papers in my office," he added. "Hmm..."
I pouted, biting my lip—then he suddenly turned his gaze toward me. Nanigas ako nang magsalubong ang mata namin kaya dagli akong pumikit!
Shit!
"Hmm... yeah," his husky voice sent shivers down my spine.
I could feel his stare, but I kept my eyes closed.
Tulog ako, Rai! Imagination mo lang na nakadilat ang mga mata ko!
"Alright, bye," he said.
I froze when I felt his warm, calloused hand caress the side of my face, gently tucking a few strands of hair behind my ear. Halos 'di ko na marinig ang paghinga sa bilis ng kalabog ng puso ko. I almost grabbed his hand, but he pulled away.
Nanatili lang akong nakapikit pero nagsising late na akong nagmulat dahil nahuli ko siyang nagbibihis.
The white towel slipped from his waist as he turned his back to me, revealing his round, glorious butt.
My eyes widened.
He tilted his body, and I quickly shut my eyes again.
Damn! Haharap siya! Makikita ko na ang susi!
I slowly opened my eyes, and the first thing I saw was his teasing gaze locked on me. I quickly glanced down, groaning in disappointment when I realized he was already wearing boxers.
"You should've opened your eyes a few seconds earlier," he teased, smirking.
I groaned, sitting up quickly and glaring at him.
"Ang bilis mo namang magbihis!" I complained.
He chuckled, tilting his head as he grabbed his maong pants and slipped them on in front of me. "You shouldn't have pretended you're still sleeping, then. Missed opportunity, huh?" His lips twitched. Mas humaba ang nguso ko.
Pinapanuod ko siyang nag-aayos ng pantas, tumitikwas ang kilay nang matantong sinasadya niyang bagalan!
He looked sinfully handsome, devastatingly hot, and tempting as he fixed his belt.
A knock on the door interrupted him.
"Sir, nandito na po 'yong damit na pinabili n'yo."
Rai walked out of the room, still bare-chested, barefoot, and not even finished with his belt, and returned shortly holding a paper bag.
Papunta na sana siya sa 'kin nang tumunog ang phone niya. Ibinaba niya ang paper bag sa kama at inabot ang phone sa side table para sagutin ang tawag.
I frowned when I noticed his belt was still undone. I groaned, moving closer.
"Hello," he greeted the person on the other line.
Naupo ako sa gilid ng kama, nakababa ang paa sa lapag bago inabot ang kamay niya para mapunta siya sa harapan ko.
"Sera... what..." He froze and cursed when he saw me take his belt to fix it.
Natulos siya sa ginawa ko.
"Go... talk," I whispered, snapping him back to his senses.
He shut his eyes tightly and took a deep breath. "Yes, I'll be at the meeting," aniya.
When I finished fixing his belt, my gaze dropped to the center of his pants, and I pursed my lips.
"Ang laki ng susi ng tagumpay," I said.
He cursed instantly, ended the call, and glared at me.
I smiled sheepishly, raised my brow, winked playfully, squealing when he got a pillow from nowhere and shoved my face with it. Natumba ako sa kama.
"You're a pervert, Serafine!" he groaned.
I laughed and threw the pillow back at him. He caught it easily, his glare sharpening.
"I got you clothes. Take a bath and stop..." His eyes flicked down to my legs.
"Stop what?" I smirked, crossing them deliberately.
He looked uneasy, clearly irritated again.
"Serafine," he warned, his jaw clenched. He tilted his head, shook it, and sighed.
"What, Rai?" My smile widened as I remembered what happened last night. "Oh, I mean, Papa dè Asukal."
His cheeks reddened.
I laughed harder when he cleared his throat and looked away.
"J-Just... take a bath," he said stiffly.
I stood up, ready to tease him again.
"Daddy?" I murmured, watching his blush spread all the way to his ears.
Pinigilan kong matawa pero nang tumikhim siya at tumakbo palabas ng kwarto, humalakhak na ako.
He's so cute!
I don't know why, but I felt so at ease and comfortable with Rai—to think na kakakilala pa lang namin! Tama ba 'yan, Sera?!
˚ˋঌ˖˚ˋঌ˖˚ˋঌ˖
WHILE SITTING IN the passenger seat of Rai's car, I opened my phone and saw messages from my friends, panicking about my disappearance last night. The first one I answered was from Gino.
To: Gino
Hi, Gino! Good morning! Sorry at bigla akong nawala, nagkaroon kasi emergency sa mansyon. I'm sorry for making you worry. Babawi ako :)[1]
I sent the message and shifted my gaze, noticing Rai staring at my phone.
When he realized I caught him, he quickly looked away and focused on the road.
"Si Gino lang, nag-text," I informed him.
He didn't respond. His eyes stayed fixed on the road, his jaw clenched.
I pouted a little and stared at him for a short while.
"Uh... Kailan pala ako p'wedeng pumunta sa opisina mo para doon sa kontrata?" I asked. "Sorry 'di ko na naman nasipot noong nakaraan. Busy kasi."
It took him a while to answer. "Anytime. Just inform me beforehand."
Tumango ako, 'di na alam ang isasagot. Suddenly, I felt awkward.
"Give me your bank details," he suddenly said.
Nagulat ako at kumibot ang labi.
"Seryoso ka talaga do'n?" I asked, amused.
"I'm not joking. Starting now, there'll be no more sugar daddy hunting for you," he said grimly.
"I was just kidding, you know. Mukha akong pera, pero hindi naman talaga ako nang-aakit ng mga matatanda," I said, laughing.
He scoffed.
"Isa pa, I like my Papa dè Asukal more," I teased with a smirk.
I noticed him blush, though he shook his head, his lips twitching as if to hide a smile.
"I'm too young to be your sugar daddy, Serafine," aniya.
"Ilang taon ka na ba?" I asked with a smile.
"I'm only twenty-nine."
My lips parted. I giggled as I moistened my lower lip.
"Oh... I'm only twenty-two—we're seven years apart. But I'm attracted to older, mature guys, you know," I said with a chuckle. "May crush nga akong artista—he's twenty-eight!"
"I'm twenty-nine," he hissed. "I'm a year older than your crush!"
"But you said you're still young!" I teased.
"I'm a year older than that ugly crush of yours, and more mature."
Napahalakhak ako sa iritasyon niya.
"Mature guys don't fight about their age—"
"I'm older and more mature, Serafine! Okay?" His brows furrowed.
"Luh?" I laughed. "But my crush is handsome, and he's—"
"He's ugly!"
He scowled, turning to glare at me.
"Bakit? Nakita mo na ba?" I teased.
Pagak siyang tumawa, umiigting ang panga. "I'm a hundred percent sure I look more handsome than that ugly fucking crush of yours—"
"He's not ugly!" I shot back quickly.
"I am more handsome, okay?" iritado niyang laban.
"Mature siya—"
"I am much older and mature!" he exclaimed, sounding like a kid defending himself.
"Kung gano'n nga, ano naman ngayon—"
"Ako dapat ang crush mo!" he cut me off.
I froze, my mouth parting. His jaw clenched, his face red with embarrassment as he looked away.
