Chapter 11

Zev eyes widened into shock when Reese wiped the spreading lard and cheese in the corner of her mouth with his thumb. His eyes stared straight into her eyes. His eyes fondle her core.

"There, it's okay. You look like a child when you're eating." He complained and smiled, he looked down at her lips. Besides her eyes, her lips too are a lovely place in her elegant visage.

Words cannot leave her beautiful lips. She remained to stare at his eyes. There were emotions he read both in his eyes, as it seemed to urge her to say something or to confess. But it's too embarrassing if she expresses her feelings. Now and then she asked herself if he was seducing her. If he wasn't then why in the world he took care of her, why the hell he gives a damn to someone like her that looks like a rejected applicant. The reason that they are friends is not enough. Reese seemed to treat her more than that. She already knew that even the night she slept in their mansion. She feels her red carpet treatment. He makes her special. She's more than a friend to him. Somehow she likes the thought that Reese has feelings for her. But vagueness crosses her mind.

And if she only knew the moment she met him in the Mediterranean, she would not fell in love with him, the thought that she was falling in love with or even kissed him back then is a mistake that can only be correct if Reese has feelings for her too, and that mistakes correct and buried in his love so that the shamed she felt would be lessened. Too many thoughts waving inside her head and as if she found herself on the edge of the cliff, she asked him nonetheless. "Do you want to tell me something Rk?" It felt like wasn't a questionn but a favor or beg him to say something — she that halt Reese from slicing the almond pancake.

He parted his lips but no words leave his mouth. He then just shrugged, smiled at her, and resumed slicing the pancake after a few seconds of pausing and looking at her. "Esta delicious, here try it," (It's delicious) he coaxed. "Here, open your mouth." He brings the pancake with the spoon close to her mouth.

"Why did you kiss me that night?" she asked directly, perhaps Reese thought that she was in her deep inebriation that night but the truth that the moment his lips lay unto her lips invaded her being and it shook her heart and she felt him, his scent, everything about him that night lingering still. How could she forget that moment when he kissed her intimately? Just the same story, if he was taking advantage of her that night, it was just the same as what happened a few years ago, when she kissed him on the seashore of the Mediterranean. But the difference was he wasn't aware because he lost consciousness. Unlike her, even though she felt his breath and his salivating lips, she wasn't protesting but allowed him to claim her lips instead.

He stopped and heaved. "I-i like you very much, that was the reason." He admitted. He was being true to himself. His feelings for her were undeniable. "I think I already love you," he added looking into her eyes again, their eyes met and her chest began to throb, she could hear it. She can't take her eyes off him. Staring at his face and eyes is paradise yet causes her chest-thumping.

"Why do you love me?" Everyone has a reason why they love someone, and she wants to know why he loves her. Now, she has the answer to her everyday question of whether he seduces her or not. Really? Unbelievably, the billionaire guy she once saved and admired now confessed that he loves her. Is it a typical love story where a billionaire's falling in love with an ordinary girl? She thought it was fiction and only seen in the movie. And if she says that she loves him too, is his status in life—being CEO, business, and damn upper-class life can be or never be a pressure? She knew his dad might have his preferences and criteria for his son's girlfriend. And whatever criteria it is, she never fitted in.

"In you, I saw the ideals of womanhood namely: Beauty, modesty, charm, intelligent, and-"

"Isn't attraction called-"

He nodded. "Yes, I am too much attracted to you Zev." Magnetlike and she was the iron. Perfect to be mated, perfect to become one. "You capture my whole being, lock me in your warm love." He's now attracted her with his warm smile.

"Why do you love Me?" she asked again and she looked up she wanted to see the sincerity in his eyes when he answer her question. She wants to witness how he will deliver his words sincerely.

Reese wondered what to say next. "I'm a man who needs a woman, and you're that woman. I claim you to be mine, to be my queen, a queen which I will be proud to show off to the other kings." His heart longed for her. Zev is his perfect fantasia and now in front of him is the woman he once dreamed of, her attitude, and personality are his ideals and he doesn't want to lose her. He doesn't want to go home without a woman like her, she needs to fill his loneliness. She needs to bring light to his cool grief life. He needs her, to be a queen and his woman.

"How stupid man is seeking out a woman without knowing his formal reason why he seeks her, why he needs her." Not to her knowledge, she doesn't know anything about love, and she doesn't even have been in a relationship before. How it looks like, how it feels, and what she will gain from it was her concern and she wants to know everything about love. To know more with and together with this man, Reese.

"You're my lost rib bone, a bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. Now I found you. Can you fill the missing part with your love?" She was his lost rib bone, No he lost it not, God took it and made it into a beautiful woman. That's why man seeks out a woman because she was his flesh, the flesh of his flesh, and destine to be him, to share the world with her. God made a woman for a man, his soulmate. "I found you. Will you love me?" He added with a smile.

"Honey words. Now you want me right? A man who dreams for a woman should make a promise that he will never leave her alone." That was so sudden and that seems a favor.

"I'll promise. I'll make you the happiest woman on earth. I'll love you in good and in bad times. You'll be mine in ups and downs, through thick and thin," he said seriously, and there was a sincerity shadowed on his face. He's gentle, cool enough to keep his promise.

She's very sure about it knowing that he had been in a different bad and painful situation, and that's what might push him to love someone genuinely. After all, he doesn't want history to repeat itself. For heaven's sake, he never dreamed of it again.

"You won't promise to get the star for me?" She asked.

"No! that's a fairytale. What on earth man can reach and touch the stars? Well, I'll promise to love you until I can't. I can't because I'm losing my breath due to my old age. Do you love me too? Oh, I can tell that you loved me for a long time..."

She was about to speak but he suddenly kissed her on the lips, so she forgot what she was supposed to say. Their lips pressed together, magnetized by cupid's love power potion. He kissed her soft and tender, even with his kiss the young man was still gentle. He continued kissing her. His lips teased her to kiss him back. She opened her mouth.

Reese took advantage, deepening his kiss. Zev found herself responding to Reese's kisses and hugs. That means she accepted his love for her. How could she not accept the offer of loving him if she was hoping for it? She has loved him ever since. Now their lips pressed intimately with some sweetness on them, she will never refuse nor fight it. She will never refuse to love this man.

"WHERE have you been yesterday Hijo?" Reese's Grandmother asked as she faced him in the living room that night.

"In Rizal," he replied politely. But he was expecting a dart in her words and his expectation won't fail him.

"Excuse me." She apologized and then called Mara, the maid. "Get me a glass of water, hija."

"Hijo it's been years since you and Arexia are splitting. Now I just thought of asking you where the diamond proposal ring is," she said as she accepted the glass of water handed to her by, Mara. "Thank you, Hija"

"De nada Señora." (Welcome)

"You know that diamond ring is the wealth of Men in Medel's clan." She turned on him. "That's the ring your Grandpa's father used when he proposed to his Latina wife. That's the same ring your Grandpa used when he proposed to me, and that's also the ring your Daddy used. See? A thousand love stories have been passed down from generation to generation because of that ring. "

"But when it comes to Daddy and me is—"

"Yes, desafortunada." (Unlucky.)

Dart. Vehement.

"W-well." He's not old-fashioned like his Grandma. There's no such thing, that ring will fulfill his wish. He asked for that ring several times, and still won't work but gave pain instead. See. What happened to him, He's wrecked.

She sighed.

"Descuidado." (Careless.)

Dart. Temper again.

"That proposal ring can't make impossible things possible. It's an old belief that the ring will fulfill the dream wedding," he rambled.

"That's a mean thing to say Hijo." She warned. Her eyes burn with gentle anger.

"In my opinion, we can't just hope for a miracle."

"Don't lecture me. The thing is I want to see that ring on the finger of the woman you're going to marry." She stood up and that was a sign that she had ended their conversation. "Hmm... by the way, Hijo, your daddy called earlier. He said you need to return to Madrid soon." The old woman added and slowly walked away.

Reese was left confused, at first, he wanted to go back to Madrid. But now that he and Zev are together, he is confused about his decision about whether to return there or not. A part of his brain was not in favor of his Dad, leaving Zev in the Philippines is not a good option. He couldn't leave her alone, he didn't want her to be sad.

But a part of his brain was in favor of returning to Madrid for the sake of MMC, and because he had a lot of responsibility in the company as the new president of the company, and he was the only one his Daddy could count on. Now his head almost exploded because of many things playing in his brain.

Before going to sleep, he took brandy and he was drowning in his thoughts and emotions. For a thousand times Reese always asks himself what if's. This cruel world always takes away his happiness. He's trying 'to run away from his what if but he seemed to run in the field of thorns.

His what-ifs caused him sadness and fear. He was trembling in the dimness with the glass of brandy in his hand. Then undressed and lay down on the cheerless bed. A night of broken glass for Reese.

He was cold, but the picture that played in his mind awakened him. Her picture gave him a hard-on awakening his desire of causing pleasure for himself. He wasn't good at giving himself a pleasure. But Zev's beautiful body gives him a hard-on and now his beast dick is erect and protests. He gently touched the piercing on his frenulum. Zev was right that he has one.

She's sexy and hot. The cold of the night did not affect his protesting manhood. He began to caress his body and gently rubbed his dick and gently rubbed the crown of his dick and there's prominent vein running underside of his dick. He closed his eyes dreaming of her, he started playing with his twin, big and long, thick and hard. He's thinking of her, he kills her with pleasure in his dreams.

It is an intense pleasure and he whimpers closing his eyes as he follows the trail of hair from his chest down to his navel with his finger. Now he holds firmly his big possession in his palm. He could feel the vein around his shaft. His slippery palm jolts him like an electric current. He played the head of his erection and moaned. He could feel a warm sensation rising on his cock like the mercury in a thermometer. So much intense pleasure.

Moans and growls reigned inside Reese's room. He played faster and faster. He sighed and moaned. His body trembling as he felt he was about to explode. His body arched, he curled his toes and gave a long moan, as he explode and orgasm. He reached the peak, the climax of pleasure. It exploded in his stomach.

He felt like he was weakening, he had also released a lot of fresh juice. He feels satisfied. He got up and went straight into the bathroom to clean his body.
