Lianna thought everything would be different after the movie. Pero hanggang sa loob lang yata ng sinehan ang gano'ng personality ni Vaughn. Ilang araw na itong busy. Pero ipinagpasalamat na rin niya dahil may emosyon na ang mukha nito sa tuwing titingin sa kanya.

Ipinapaalam din nito kung busy ito at kung matatagalan ba ito pag lumalabas sa gabi. When he's at home he would bond with the kids for a while tapos papasok na ito sa personal space nito sa third floor.

She'd often wake up at the middle of the night without Vaughn beside her. Minsan nate-tempt siyang sundan ito sa third floor para patigilin sa pagta-trabaho.

But she's afraid to even try baka mapahiya lang siya kapag sinabi nitong wala siyang pakialam.

Two weeks had passed. Kating-kati na talaga ang dila niya na magtanong kay Vaughn kung ano ba talaga ang nangyayari pero lagi siyang pinapangunahan ng takot.

Pangamba na ulitin nito ang sinabi nito noon sa kanya na hindi na babalik ang lahat sa dati.

But why would he act so sweet? And he'd ignore her the next time...

Is this his way of torturing her?

"You're not touching your food," Vaughn stated as they were having dinner.

Paano siya makakakain? Ni hindi siya kinakausap nito. Ngayon lang ulit.

She was about to speak when Vaughn received a call. He excused himself from the dining table. Sinundan na lamang niya ito ng tingin. The kids just glanced at their dad and continued eating.

"I've been away for five good minutes, hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin nababawasan 'yang pagkain mo?" Kunot-noong tumitig si Vaughn sa kanya. Even the kids looked at her. Para naman kasi siyang pinapagalitan.

"Gusto mo subuan pa kita?" saad nito at umupo na. He spooned a mouthful at iniumang sa bibig niya.

"Gosh! So sweeeet!" Vanna squealed. Nagkatinginan sila ni Vaughn. She heard his soft chuckles. Napatawa na lang din siya.

She started eating.

"Tomorrow, we are going somewhere. You need to pack good enough for a two weeks."

Magbabakasyon sila?

Just the thought of it makes Lianna's insides jump in excitement. Hindi nga lang niya masyadong ipinahalata.

Is that the reason why he's busy the whole time? Naghahanda ito para sa bakasyon nila.

"We're gonna have a vacation for two weeks, dad?!" Vanna asked with excitement. Siya din ay hindi na naitago ang pananabik sa sagot ng asawa. Napatitig siya dito.

He smiled and glanced at her.

"Actually it's a month or more but we'll just shop clothes for you there. Less hassle." He stated.

"Really?!" Even Liam who doesn't show so much emotion like his dad got excited at what he said.

Natatawa namang umoo ang ama nila.

After dinner, Lianna immediately went to the kids' rooms para mag-empake ng gamit ng mga ito. Dumiretso naman si Vaughn sa third floor.

The kids talked about how excited they are and wondering where they would go. Ayaw kasing sabihin ni Vaughn sa kanila. Tumitingin lang ito ng makahulugan sa kanya sa tuwing ipipilit ng mga batang itanong kung saan sila magbabakasyon.

It was almost midnight nang matapos siyang mag-empake ng mga damit ng kambal. Sana nagpatulong na lang siyang nag-empake sa mga maids.

She still had to pack her own clothes plus Vaughn's clothes. Ayaw naman niyang gisingin ang mga maid dahil maghahating-gabi na. It would be inhuman. Kahit gaano pa kalaki ang pasahod sa kanila, hindi pa rin makatarungan na gisingin niya ang mga ito.

She yawned as she put the last pieces of clothes on the luggage. Sakto namang papasok si Vaughn sa walk-in closet.

"Need help?" tanong nito.

"Kaya ko pa," Lianna answered.

Vaughn went to his wardrobe area at kumuha ng isang pares ng jeans at gray shirt. Kumuha din ito ng boxers.

Lalabas ba ulit ito ngayong gabi?

Nakapantulog na kasi ito. Maybe he'll change clothes.

Lianna averted her gaze when he looked at her direction.

"Do you still have space in your luggage? Pakilagay naman ito." Saad nito.

Akala niya ay gagamitin nito. Ipapalagay lang pala sa suitcase.

Hindi niya ulit napigilang humikab nang isasara na niya ang luggage.

"Mukhang pagod ka na." Vaughn commented.

"Hindi naman masyado. Where's your suitcase? Iaayos ko na rin yung mga dadalhin mo." Baling niya rito.

"No it's fine. 'Yon lang ang dadalhin ko." Nakangiti nitong saad. She already feels groggy to still think kung bakit isang pares lang ang dadalhin nitong damit. He's rich baka bibili na lang ito sa pupuntahan nila.

"Okay." Tumayo siya at lumabas na ng closet. Sumunod naman si Vaughn sa kanya.

She really feels sleepy. Napahikab siya ulit.

She stiffened when Vaughn hugged her from the back.

"You want massage?"

Pakiramdam niya ay nawala lahat ng antok at pagod sa katawan niya. She can feel his hot breath on her neck. It gave her goosebumps.

He gently kissed her on the nape sending multiple sensations to every part of her body.

Mas lalo siyang natuliro nang umakyat ang mga kamay nito sa dibdib niya. Napaliyad siya nang dumapo ang labi nito sa leeg niya. Her breathing becomes heavy. Naglalaro na kasi ang mga kamay nito sa mayayaman niyang dibdib.

Is this what he means by massage?

Hindi niya napigilang mapaungol nang umakyat ang labi nito sa tainga niya. He gently nibbled it that gave goosebumps to her entire body. His expert hands continued to massage her mounds.

"UhMmm, V-vaughnnn...Ohhhh!" Lianna shivered in pleasure as his hand found his way in between her thighs. Inililis nito ang suot niyang negligee at pinaglandas ang kamay sa kanyang panloob. She felt her entire system exploded with heat.

"Oooh, My Lianna," Vaughn whimpered. He helt his finger inside her wetness. Despite the lust that she's feeling. Lianna opened her eyes.

Is that for real?

Did he just say 'my Lianna'?

She removed his hand from inside her at hinarap ito. His green eyes are full of desire and wonder. Siguro ay nagtaka ito sa ginawa niya.

Before he could even speak, she immediately wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him torridly. Nabigla siguro ito dahil hindi ito nakagalaw agad. But Lianna is determined to make him hers.

She deepened the kiss until Vaughn caught his momentum. Sinabayan nito ang naglalagablab niyang halik. He wanted to lay her on the bed but Lianna is faster. She straddled him on the bed as she removed his shirt. He heard his soft chuckles but she was so blinded with desire and love and something more than that.

She kissed him hard on the lips to his ear down to his neck and chest.

"My Lianna, that's good...ohhhh!"

Mas lalo siyang ginanahan sa narinig mula rito. She was lost in desire when Vaughn started to undress her as he struggles to kiss her. Mabilis lang nitong natanggal ang saplot niya sa katawan pati ang suot nitong boxers.

How? It's his talent perhaps.

Sumandal ito sa headboard at pinaupo siya sa kandungan nito habang hinahalikan ang dibdib niya. His hand roamed around her body.

"Ohhh," Lianna gasped when he skillfully guided her hips to meet his erection. She knew it was her time to move. His hands are on her waist guiding her to move up and down. It was slow at her first pero dahil sa sensasyong nadarama, her paced became faster. She likes their position. Mas nararamdaman kasi niya ang kahabaan nito and it fills her entire wetness.

"Why...do...ugh...you...oh! Shit!" putol-putol ang sinasabi ni Vaughn dahil sa bilis ng pagtaas-baba niya sa kahabaan nito. She could feel his satisfaction.

"have...to...be...ohhhh...so..." Ang lakas din nito para tulungan siyang gumalaw sa ibabaw nito. He is big and long kaya naman sarap na sarap siya sa ginagawa niya.

"...delicious!" he said as he carried her to change their position. Ito na ang pumaibabaw sa kanya.

Lianna's head was spinning in ecstacy. She felt like she already came but Vaughn's pounding made her yearn for more. He pumped faster and deeper and it's filling her with so much pleasure. He continued pounding fastly. Sinabayan niya ang mga ungol nito until he came with her to the ends of the world.
