"Agent Dahlia, pinapatawag ka ni Lord Clayton." Tumango ako kay Irvin na isa ring agent at walang imik na pumanhik sa taas, kung saan ang opisina ng mafia.

Clayton Reed is the only son of Armendous Reed who established the most powerful clan here La Orville. Everyone despise their family and they're always the target of the other criminals in town.

Pinihit ko ang malamig na door knob sa kanyang opisina at pumasok doon, sabay tingin sa kanya nang diretso. Naka de-kwadro itong nakaupo sa kanyang swivel chair. Ang kanyang umiigting na panga at matatalim na tingin ang agad na sumalubong sa 'kin. He's only wearing a white tee but his effects on me is something I can't explain.

Tumikim ito bago ako senyasang lumapit sa kanya.

With my trembling knees, I slowly stepped my feet towards him. Nang makarating na ako sa harapan niya ay halos mapatili ako nang higitin niya ako paupo sa kandungan niya. Ang kanyang mga mauugat na kamay at mahahabang daliri ay pumalibot sa bewang ko.

"I missed you..." He whispered huskily.

Damn!

"C-clayton..." Sinubukan kong tanggalin ang hawak niya sa 'kin dahil baka may biglang pumasok at makita kami sa ganitong posisyon.

I admit that there's something  between us but no one knows, I guess? We tried hard to keep our relationship outside because it's for our safety too. Lalo na ako...

"Don't worry baby. I already asked them to leave and now, it's only the both of us."

I felt his soft lips kissing my ears down to my neck that sent an electricifying effect on me. Nakikiliti ako sa bawat dampi ng kanyang labi pero hindi ako nagtangkang pigilan siya. I also missed him.

It's been almost a week since we last saw each other because of some battles. Tinigilid ko ang ulo ko para mas mahalikan niya ako sa leeg. Napapikit pa ako dahil sa labis na nararamdaman ko ngayon. Hindi ko mawari kung ano pero ang mga paro-paro sa tiyan ko ay unti-unti nabubuhay.

"How have you been when I'm away?" He suddenly stopped on kissing me and I wanted to punch him because of that. Pero tinago ko nalang ito dahil nakakahiya.

"Don't ask me that question. I know you've been watching me around." He chuckles. Even if he's not beside me, I'm still aware that he has eyes everywhere. It's either he command someone to watch over me or use a device to know my whereabouts.

"You really know me well, huh."

Muntikan pa akong mahulog nang magtangka itong tumayo. Mabuti nalang at inalalayan niya ako agad. Hinarap niya ako sa kanya at marahang hinaplos ang pisngi ko gamit ang kanyang kamay. Malamig ang kanya haplos pero ang mga mata niyang nakapako sa 'kin ay tila ba nag-iinit. 

He's a very tall guy and now, he's towering me. Nakayuko lang siyang pinagmamasdan ang mukha ko na para bang kinakabisado lahat ng meron ako.

I always think that I'm the luckiest woman alive for having him. His features looks like a model or an actor from movies and magazines. His name shouts with so much power that can make you lose your breath because of fear. 

Unti-unting lumapit ang kanyang mukha sa 'kin and in an instance, I closed my eyes as I felt his lips brushed mine.

It was just a sweet move at first but seconds later, it became aggressive. I respond to his kisses wholeheartedly. His hands are travelling around my body and by that time, the fire is starting to arouse with our intimate moves.

I know where is this going already. It's not our first time though.

Hanggang sa namalayan ko nalang na nakalabas na pala kami sa opisina niya at nakarating na kami sa loob ng kanyang kwarto. The room is so dim that made me more excited. 

And for the nth time, I'm giving him myself again without any regrets...

I checked the digital clock that was above from his bedside table and it's still 3:00 in the morning. Our clothes are scattered around the room. Despite the pain I'm feeling, I managed to get up from the bed and pick up my clothes. Dali-dali ko itong sinuot bago lumapit sa kinaroroonan ni Clayton.

He looks like an angel sent from above while sleeping. You can't never imagine a man like him that is capable of killing someone. I lowered my head to kiss him softly on his lips. Tila ba hindi ko rin maramdaman ang halik na 'yon dahil sa takot kong baka magising ko siya.

"I love you so much..." I smiled faintly as I memorized all about him.

I don't want to leave him after what we've shared last night but I need to do it.

"Goodbye, Clayton."

Sunod-sunod na patak ng luha ang lumabas sa mata ko habang humahakbang palayo sa kanya.

Sana mapatawad mo ako.

I hope after this, we'll live a happy life with our future baby.

I'm pregnant but I don't want to stay with  a dangerous man. And yes, I'm choosing our safety over him...
