Chapter 2

"Come with me, Miss Montives," he demanded.

Sumunod naman ako sa utos niya. I wrapped my arms around me. Masyadong malamig ang palapag na ito. We only knew that this penthouse existed, but not like this. Hindi ko masyadong maaninag ang paligid. Only the pinhole lights on the ceiling gave a little sight of the place.

It seemed like every corner of this floor had been shut by blackout curtains. Very privy.

I still didn't have any idea kung ano'ng gagawin namin, but what he said to me brought chills over my body. I wasn't able to process it immediately when there were a lot of things to catch up on.

If Niks was just here, he would've melted already. But I didn't know what else I should do here. Sinusundan ko lang siya patungo sa isang direksyon. The place was so dim. I felt like I could trip whenever.

But then he turned his back on me again and made me follow him. The only thing that mesmerized me was the smell of this room. It's strong, manly, and yet very affectionate. Para bang pinaliguan niya ang buong paligid at ginawang air diffuser.

To my surprise, he stopped in front of a red blackout curtain, and it was different from the others. It felt like it has a significant texture, design, and feeling coming out of it. Napatigil na lang din naman ako at hinintay ko kung ano'ng sunod niyang gagawin.

I gasped when shoved that curtain to the side and it opened another doorway passing through another room. Pumasok siya sa loob pero hindi siya tuluyang pumasok dahil binalikan niya ako ng tingin.

"Come on in," he said. "See what I could offer..."

I swallowed so hard when he directed me on what to do. Naglakad ako papunta sa kanya at pumasok sa kwartong tinutukoy niya. A little gasp came out of me when I looked around. It was full of sex toys—a lot of them. I wouldn't imagine that in this marketing firm, there was a room for sex toys residing on the top of this building.

And this man, Castiel Mondragon owned them.

"Follow me," he said.

Gaya nga ng sabi niya, ginawa ko ang sinasabi niya at sinundan ko siya. I was gripping my handbag, scanning everything around me. The wall had a very dark accent of blood red while some areas were very dark. In every corner, his toys were being displayed openly.

I looked at them trying not to be so curious by touching them. Those were all for pleasure... Those things can make a woman reach her peak.

Castiel stopped on the first glass storage. On top of everything were different kinds of plugs, I think.

Napalunok ako ng laway habang iniisa-isa ko ng tingin iyon saka ko siya binalingan ng tingin. "Ano 'to?"

"Those are butt plugs," he answered.

There were a lot of designs and forms. He showed me everything, but I refused to touch any of them. I think there were more than fifteen butt plugs, and I didn't know why he had them.

"Those are nice," he said. "You'll love it."

"Huh?" Natanga ako sa sinabi niya. Tama ba ang narinig ko?

The next thing he showed was some dildos—in any form, color, and size and they were fucking huge and girthy. There were also vibrators for men and women which I was not sure how to use and I didn't have an idea why he was showing them to me.

Pagbebentahan niya ba ako? Okay na naman ako sa real thing ng asawa ko.

He introduced me to other instruments, and I felt like I didn't have a choice but to remember them. Bibigyan niya ba ako ng exam after at ang prize ay ang approval ng promotion ko? I felt like I needed to pull this one out.

But it was still surprising to find someone like Castiel Mondragon owned a room like this.

We stopped in the center which was in front of a massive bed.

He turned to me with his hands in his pocket. "Alright. I've shown you everything you need to know. What do you want to use?"

"What do I want to use?"

He nodded determinedly. "Yes, you heard me first. Pick whatever you like."

Pero mabilis naman akong umiling sa kagustuhan niya. "I don't think I'll be able to choose from them, Sir. I don't use them po at saka... what is this all about po ba? I thought we were going to talk about something else, but... Uhm... this isn't what I expected."

"What do you expect, Miss Montives?"

I winced. "Promotion ko po?"

He smirked. "Is that all?"

At first, I thought he was just joking, but maybe showing me this side of him got me something in return. Pero hindi ko naman talaga inaasahan na ganito ang pupuntahan ko. I could've worked overnight or worked seven times a day, but he mentioned this was an easy way.

I've heard Castiel has been bringing girls back and forth and paying them with a sum of money—that's what I've heard. Nikolai was the one who shared that chismis with me that's why he was into him. He wanted to be that next woman that our boss would take into his private room, pero hindi ko inaakala na ako na pala 'yon.

This was unexpected.

Whenever this kind of thing happened, Nikolai would say na hindi imposibleng lumabas sa mga susunod na araw ang usaping ito. People would know I was her, but I wouldn't let them know I was here. Ayokong sirain ang pangalan at dignidad ko. And I wouldn't give them that kind of news.

"Shanine," he called me by my name. "Time's running, you should choose now, or you'll lose what you want."

Muli akong napalunok ng laway. "H-hindi ko talaga alam, Sir..."

He took a deep breath. "Sure... I'll let you think in the meantime, but I'll do my part and wait for you to pick what instrument you want to use."

"For me, Sir?"

He smirked, shaking his head. "For me, Miss Montives."

Hindi ko pa rin naman alam ang gagawin ko. I felt like I was just gonna watch him here. Pwede kayang umalis na lang?

But I watched Castiel at kung anon'g susunod niyang gagawin. I was looking at him intently and then he started undressing. I had a view of his back, and his back muscle was formed so well. He must be going to the gym lately, or it's just because of the jeans. Leandro was fit, but not fit like Castiel.

I love Leandro's dad's body.

After he pulled his shirt off, the next thing he did was to drop his pants down leaving him only in his black boxer brief. He turned to me, and I couldn't almost breathe when I found him almost naked in front of me. Hindi ako makatingin sa baba. Deretso lang ang tingin ko sa kanya. Iniiwasan kong lumanding ang mata ko sa ibaba pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasan dahil parang may malaking santol siyang ikinubli ro'n.

Napalunok ako ng laway. Nanunuyo na ang lalamunan ko at init na init na ako. Malamig ang paligid dahil pagkapasok ko kanina ay halos balutin ako ng ginaw na akala mo'y nasa Baguio ka, but this room was immediately filled with heat and had me had shallow breaths. Pakiramdam ko, hihimatayin na ako anytime.

"You like what you see?" ngisi pa nitong tanong sa akin.

Hindi naman ako sumagot sa kanya. Natataranta ang utak ko. Hindi ko naman alam kung ano'ng isasagot sa kanya. First of all, he's still my boss at kung may gawin man akong kakaibang bagay, I would probably lose my job and I was not risking that to happen.

"Go ahead and grabbed that handcuff for me," utos niya. Itinuro niya rin sa akin ang kinalalagyan nito.

Nilingon ko muna ang direksyong itinuro niya. It was placed on the glass drawer as well. May iba't ibang klase ng posas and they're not the usual ones. Some I did really find interesting, lalo na iyong may soft furry na nakapalibot sa posas. When I showed it to Castiel, pinalapit niya lang ako.

"I like it," he commented. "Now, put it on me..."

"Huh? Sir?"

I was left dumbfounded when I found him lying on his back on the massive bed. He then stretched his arms widely and onto the opposite side, ordering me to cuff his one hand to the pole of the bed and do the same thing on the other hand. I was just following his order and sure, I didn't know what my role was here, but I guess this was something I had to obey.

"Take the whip from there, Miss Montives," again, he ordered.

Kahit naguguluhan pa rin ako, kinuha ko iyon. Pinapasadahan niya sa akin ang kahabaan ng whip at sa dulo ay may flat surface na para bang pamalo ng lamok.

"Hit me, Miss Montives."

At that point, muling kumunot ang noo ko. "Sir? I don't wanna do that... Hindi po kita papaluin o kung ano man."

"I'm giving you my consent, Miss Montives. Now's the time..."

Nag-aalangan pa akong gawin iyon sa kanya pero mapilit siya at mukhang kailangan ko talagang gawin. I tried hitting him on his leg for the first time. Hindi malakas. Parang inilapat ko lang din sa balat niya dahil ayoko siyang saktan. I had my reservation. Hindi naman ako mapanakit na tao. But he told me to hit him harder and I kind of refused until he asked me.

"Are you comfortable doing this?"

Hindi ako nakasagot. I've never done this kaya hindi ko alam ano'ng isasagot sa kanya.

"I've never done this..."

"Not even with your husband?" he questioned.

I shook my head.

"You haven't had sex with your husband?" Hindi ko gusto sagutin kasi parang ang personal na ng tanong niya na iyon. "Well, there's no harm in trying it on me. I know I'm not your husband, but you could still go back to him as his wife at the end of the day."

"But that's cheating..."

"Only if you think so."

I was about to drop the whip and tell him I need to go. Funny thing here was, hindi niya ako mahahabol kung umalis ako dahil naka-posas siya sa kama. Nakatayo na lamang ako habang iniisip kung ano ang susunod ko pang gagawin.

"Alright," he snapped. "Come and get me out of the cuffs."

I quickly did what he said. Inalis ko ang mga posas niya at bumalik ako sa pwesto ko kanina at tumayo lang ako habang pinapanood ko siya kung ano'ng gagawin niya.

He took a few sex toys from the glass drawer and brought them to the bed. He placed them accordingly as if he was planning to do something else. I was gripping myself trying to figure out what he was trying to do, not until he completely removed his boxer brief and jumped on the bed with nothing on. He was naked.

My jaw dropped and my eyes blinked a few times watching him touching himself.

"Do you want to put some oil on my body?" he asked, but I refused to do anything. "That's alright, you can watch so you'll learn..."

I swallowed so hard because it wasn't even that long when he immediately got digging a rock-hard dick. Ang bilis ng kabog ng dibdib ko. I've never seen someone like this, na hindi asawa, na nakahubad at pinapaligaya ang kanyang sarili.

I thought he was just going to do some normal stuff, but I was wrong. That's when he started doing what I never thought would happen.

He clipped his nipples with the nipple clamps, and he used lube on a dildo. I wasn't sure what he would do with it until he put it slowly inside his asshole. Literal na na nanigas ang katawan ko sa bawat ungol na ginagawa niya. I was looking away, and I felt like watching him pleasuring himself like that was too much for me.

Too much for me.

He used the other instruments for pleasure. I knew he was showing them to me for me to learn how to use them, but I was too shy to look at him like that.

I thought he was bringing girls to pay for him to fuck, but I guess it was the other way around. He must've been paying them to pleasure him. That's some kind of interesting kink to have... quite new to me.

I didn't find it disgusting. It was just surprising for me to watch it before my eyes. Kakaiba.

"Do you wanna have a touch, Shanine?" he asked, then it was followed by a moan.

I winced and shook my head.

Hindi naman siya naging kontra sa sinagot ko. Pinagpatuloy niya lamang ang ginagawa niya. From watching him uncomfortably until I enjoyed him watching made myself surprised about it. I was touching my breast and crossing my legs.

I felt like if I did anything with Castiel, I'll be cheating with him on my husband, so I didn't think that was a good idea. We just got married... but I didn't know what it did to me.

It seemed like Castiel has shown me what it's like to get excited about these kinds of stuff.

When he groaned so hard, he even loudly announced his climax. I watched him lose his own energy while he was covered by his cum. He was chasing his breath so fast, and I was just watching him and his dingdong slowly getting soft.

I quickly grabbed a towel and gave it to them.

He exhaled as he grabbed it from me and sat up straight. He dried himself and looked at me.

"Thanks," he said. "I hope you enjoyed the show..."

I winced.

"Maybe next time, you'll do it for me."

Hindi ko alam kung may next time pa, ha? Hindi ko siya kinakaya. Masyadong marahas sa mga kagamitan si Castiel and he's very aggressive upon seeing him pleasure himself. Something I would like to see on my husband, but I cannot tell him anything about this, or this will be the cause of something I didn't want to start.

Was lying some sort of cheating?

I hope what happened here won't come to light.

"Ah, Sir... uuwi na po ako."

As he stood up and wrapped the towel around his waist, he directed me toward the elevator. We waited until the door opened. I walked, but he blocked the door before it closed.

"Don't say anything, alright?"

I nodded swallowing my saliva—good thing, not his future kids.

As soon as the elevator door closed, bigla akong nakahinga nang maluwag. It's like something was lifted off my chest. Kung noong nasa penthouse ako, I felt like I knew where I was at, pero ngayon lang halos nag-sink in ang lahat sa akin.

At the end of the day, I still wasn't able to make any conversation about my promotion.

I left the building and booked myself a car. Hindi na maalis sa isipan ko ang ginawa ni Castiel. All those chismis became clearer in my head. Kung noon, we were just imagining what it could have been, but now, there's already a picture of Castiel doing all those things we only speculated.

Totoo nga, but at some point, mali pa rin dahil ang lahat ng nalalaman namin noon ay hindi pa sapat. There's more to it, especially behind those curtains.

Napaigtad ako nang bumusina ang sasakyan na binook ko. Hindi ko namayalang dumating na pala kaya dali-dali rin akong sumakay. Sa buong biyahe, tulala ako. Natauhan lang muli ako nang mag-text si Leandro sa akin.

Leandro:

Hi Hun, I'm home! Thought you'll be here, where are you? xx

I wasn't able to reply to him until I realized that when I arrived at our house. When I walked inside, I found my husband waiting for me. Mabilis ako nitong sinalubong ng yakap at halik.

"Where have you been?" he asked showering kisses on me.

"Sa isang gimik," pagrarason ko.

"Oh, really? You didn't say you'll go home late tonight."

"I thought so, too..."

"But you came home early as well."

"Yeah, they postponed everything next week, so I actually don't have to do anything yet, so I'm here... Are you tired?"

I nodded. "Yeah..."

"Have you eaten?"

I was about to say not yet, but that would make it suspicious for him dahil ang isinagot ko ay galing ako sa isang gimikan. Pinaliwanag ko pa sa kanya na si Nikolai ang nagyaya sa amin kanina at wala akong kawala kung hindi ang sumama sa kanya.

"What you do now is change your clothes and meet me on the bed, is that good?"

I nodded. He gave me one big kiss before he rushed upstairs to the bedroom. Napabitaw na lamang ako nang malalim na buntonghininga.

Hindi ko pwedeng sabihin sa kanya iyong nangyari sa penthouse kanina. But it seemed like he bought my reason and believed it. I knew what I said was suspicious enough, and I wouldn't do something ever like that again. Tama na ang isang beses.

I quickly jumped on the bathroom before I went to bed with my husband. While we're on the bed, pinaalala naman niya sa akin iyong camera na naiwan ng photographer doon sa wedding namin. Bubuksan niya raw sana 'yon kanina to check pero battery low kaya hindi niya nabuksan. We weren't able to give it back to the owner dahil wala kaming oras last week para gawin 'yon.

I decided to check in on the camera. I grabbed the charger, and it seemed like it was full already. I put the battery inside and the camera came alive. As I checked the gallery, I was happy to see some of the videos and photos there. Tiningnan naman namin ni Leandro ang bawat isa hanggang sa ako na lamang sa huli ang nagtingin-tingin sa photos.

All those photos were very promising no until I came across some private photos that shouldn't be in the camera. Dahil sa gulat at taranta ko, I immediately shut it down because after seeing those nude photos of a woman, it was followed by a guy—and from what I remembered, it was the photographer. They were artistically captured, but I wasn't expecting them to see them all here.

Good thing Leandro was asleep already.

I slid myself down on the bed and snuggled withLeandro. This day was too much for me. I couldn't even process them all at onceand I hope waking up tomorrow would bring some good news for me.
