The Broken Heart Beat [Ace Lucifer's Series Two Volume One]

Twenty Fifth Heart Beat

"I'm done. Let's go?" Macey fixed the collar of her shirt when Kaiden walked towards her.

Katulad niya ay nakapag-palit na rin ito ng damit. Along with his suit yesterday, he brought an extra shirt since he plans to stay until later night. Sa ngayon, kakain muna sila, at kung saan pa siya gustong dalhin ni Kaiden.

As he towered over her, he helped her fix the collar of her loose polo-blouse. Maya-maya ay napakunot ang noo nito. "Where's the necklace I gave you?"

"Uh?" napalingon siya sa office table niya. "Nandoon. Bakit?"

"Wear it." He seemed like a kid that was betrayed by a playmate. Salubong ang kilay nito at nanatiling nakatingin sa leeg niya. There's a strange look on his face before he blinked at his golden eyes settled on hers.

Napakurap siya. "Tapos na ang party—"

"I didn't gave it to you for occasional purposes..."

She heaved a breath and nodded. Humiwalay siya kay Kaiden at bumalik sa lamesa niya. She opened her drawer and pulled out the box of her necklace. Nang buksan niya ang box ay katabi nito ang vial necklace niya. She picked up both, and removed the vial pendant that contains Jayda's remains, and transferred it to the necklace that was given by Kaiden.

Lumapit si Kaiden sa kaniya. "What's that?"

Saglit niyang nilingon ang binata. "Ah... it's Jayda's remains."

Natahimik si Kaiden. When she was finally done, Kaiden helped her to lock it on her nape. Macey waited until he was done, but her eyes widened when she felt Kaiden's lips on her nape. His lips was there.

Malalim siyang napalunok. Hindi siya kumilos. Her heart reacted violently at that.

"I want to give you a hickey." He chuckled and distanced himself. Muling nagtagpo ang mata nilang dalawa.

She frowned. "Subukan mo!"

"And?" he raised a brow. "What if subukan ko nga?"

Naningkit ang mga mata niya. "Basta!"

"Tsaka mo na pag-isipan 'yong parusa." Kaiden stepped closer to her once again, aiming for a kiss in her neck where his eyes settled pero mabilis siyang kumilos at umatras.

Hindi niya alam pero natawa siya. Kaiden showed a playful smile as he looked at her as if she's a prey. Wala siyang makapang takot, pero natatawa lang siya.

"Kaiden!" suway niya.

The edge of his left lip quivered playfully, slowly leaning to her closer. Siya, napasandal sa bookshelf na nasa likod niya, at itinukod ang kamay sa dibdib ni Kaiden. Hindi man tumitingin ay parehong nakulong sa isang palad nito ang pareho niyang pulso.

"Hoy!" mas lalo siyang natawa. Kaiden seem so focused at his target. "Tigil!"

"I can lend you my turtle neck shirt." He suggested.

"Nope." Kumawala siya sa hawak ni Kaiden at sinubukang itulak ito ulit, but he held her hand tighter.

"Don't push me away, Habibi."

Natigilan siya sa sinabi nito. She scoffed. "As if."

"Good." As if it satisfied her, then given them a distance. Her shoulders relaxed, pero hindi pa siya nakakabawi nang atekihin siya ulit ni Kaiden, but this time, he's not aiming for her neck, but his lips crushed against hers. Naiwang dilat ang mga mata niya habang ni Kaiden ay nakapikit.

She has no enough time to return the kiss out of surprise, then he already gave them space.

"Fine. Next time will be my marking. I want it two."
