Your Man
Claudia was sleeping soundly beside him. She's all tired yet peaceful. Who knew how many times they pleasured each other?
She put her arms around his waist and hugged him tight. There's no room for space between them.
Inigo on the other hand, played her hair, giving her small butterflies in her stomach.
Such a simple gesture yet could make her feel unexplainable feelings and emotions.
"What time are you going home?" she asked while still hugging him naked. He played on her hair more and touched her shoulder.
"Probably 6 or 7 am? I have work." she sighed and remained silent."Why'd you asked?" Inigo curiously asked.
Claudia didn't answer for a moment. Instead, she sat, covering her nakedness with the white comforter of her bed.
She was not sure whether she should be asking this but she still did. She looked at Inigo's eyes and asked...
"What are we?"
Inigo's lips parted a little. He was caught of guard. It was a too sudden question. A question he would not expect after a lustful night. We, not for him.
What are we? Is she really asking me. Not gonna answer that.
Inigo thought.
But how can he answer that question without really answering her question.
"What do you want us to be?" He said and caressed her shoulder.
"Well, I don't want myself as your sex buddy."
"Then tell me, what should I do? What should we be?" He sat and rest his chin on her shoulder. Slowly, he nibbled on her cheek, to her earlobe, and down to the delicate skin of her shoulder.
It was feather kisses but it can make her moan on her own.
That's it. Fall for me Claudia!
"Be my man." She stated, while feeling his kisses on her shoulder.
He stopped kissing her and stared at her eyes.
How am I supposed to reject that? When that's what I exactly need her to say. He thought.
His hand that was resting on her legs went her chin. He turned her head to him and planted a small kiss on her lips. It wasn't the way how he kissed Claudia last night. It was soft and light. Just enough to make their lips touch each other. He just want her to feel secured and special.
He stopped kissing her but his remained on her. Watching her soul and reaction and says....
"Then I will be your man."
Her eyes widened and her lips parted. It was not the answer she was expecting. Claudia just knew that it was too early but not really early considering what they have already done to each other.
"Really? Really?" Her voice sounds cheerful but with a hint of doubt.
Who would have thought that he would agree immediately?
"Yes." He answered almost whispering.
Claudia just cannot believe that he really agreed. She knew to herself how attracted she is to him. It was too quick for her but she wanted it. She wanted him just for her.
The thought of last night, having other women openly flirting with Inigo makes her furious and annoyed.
She fell asleep after a few more minutes. He didn't sleep at all. He just can't sleep thinking every plan he should do.
One thing that he has to achieve is making Claudia introduce him to her father. He wanted to infiltrate the Santiago's business. Once he entered their business, things will be easy for him. It will be easier for him to infiltrate Omega as well.
That's how a mafia owned conglomerate works. Their businesses are tied to their organization. That's what makes a business successful. You have all the resources at your disposal. May it be either good or bad resources, it's just there on the tip of their fingers.
With this current situation, he just needs to know if the Omega is his real enemy. He has doubts. That's for sure.
How is he sure? He knows everyone in the business. Whether its legal or illegal business, he just know everyone. It's one of the vital thing to do as a mafia boss. You have to know everyone to get to know who would be your ally and threat. Omega is on that spectrum. He knows that Omega is getting bigger because of their businesses, underground businesses to be specific. But Omega and his group has nothing to do with each other. Their illegal businesses are on different industries. Even their legal businesses compliment each other. Even historically speaking, there's no connection with Omega and the Red World. There's no way Omega would wage war against him and his organization.
Exactly 5 am, Inigo removed Claudia's arm on his waist. He replaced his body with a pillow before he left the bed. He took his scattered clothes and wore them.
Just right after wearing his shirt, he heard Claudia groaning.
"Are you going home?"
"Later, I'll cook for breakfast." He calmly said.
She thought that he was already leaving.
"Do you mind if I cook in your kitchen?" He looked at her. When he saw her nod, he went closer to her and kissed the top of her forehead.
Claudia just closed her eyes feeling his soft lips against her forehead.
He went down in the kitchen and looked for something he could easily cook. He just need to impress her and may be make her fall for him even more.
Right after serving it on the table, he left it with a note.
He drove his way out and went home to his pad. He still has work to do.
When he got home, he took a quick shower. He wore a white long sleeves and a gray vest beneath his gray suit. His tie was black, the same color of his shoes. Right after wearing his wrist watch, he left his home and went to his office.
While driving, he dialed Anton's number.
It didn't take too long and Anton answered after a few rings.
"I need Omega's businesses." He started. His eyes were on the road as he talks to Anton.
[Documents or the real business?] Anton asked nonchalantly. As if it was something normal to them. Well, yes. That conversation is pretty much normal to them.
"Documents Anton." He chuckled with thought of getting the business out of the Santiago. It would be easy for him to do that. Yes, it's easier for him to strip them their power and authority instead of making a woman fall for him so he could infiltrate the business and organization. But somehow, there's an excitement for him in this very situation.
He admits that it's fun. Who wouldn't want to have s*x with a pretty woman right? He's never a saint to say no to that.
It's a fun game that he has to win.
He was working with the documents for the upcoming business he's putting when his secretary Leo entered his office after three knocks.
"Sir you have a visitor?"
"Who is it?" He asked without looking away from the documents he is reading.
"Surprise!" she said with a smile.
Right when he heard her voice, he looked up and saw Claudia beside Leo.
He just cannot believe that she's right in front of him.
Leo left the room and Claudia walk towards him. He was about to stand but she just pushed him back to his seat and sat on his lap and kissed him thoroughly.
Again, why wouldn't he reciprocate her gesture. He snaked his hand on her waist while the other hand rest on her neck to pull her closet to him.
When they pulled away, they were staring at each other, both catching their breath.
"How did you know where my office is?" He asked and rest his chin on her shoulder.
"I asked George." She smiled and then frowned. "You left without giving your number." There's a tone of disappointment when she said that.
What? Oh! Yeah! How would she contact her, especially now that they agree to see each other exclusively?
He just couldn't believed he's having an exclusive relationship.
"I'm sorry! I forgot. Also I was planning to dropped by later." Her lips formed a circle. There's plan that she didn't know. "How about I take you out for a lunch date?" He said and smiled at her.
She giggled and nodded. Why would she reject that?
She placed her arms around his nape and planted small kisses on his lips.
How is she this clingy? He just doesn't get how can she act this way. Did she alread fall for her? Is she acting to get something from him? He don't know.
But Inigo know that he has to go with the flow.
She started nibbling his ear then down to his neck and suck it real hard. It wasn't painful and it was awesome. Hickey? Darn this woman. Early in the afternoon and giving me hard time and gets me feel hot?
No other woman can make him feel this bad. He badly needs her. She moaned a bit when he started touching her leg up to her butt, massaging the ample fat.
But then she stopped kissing him and leaving me with frustration.
"What the fuck was that?" He's mad. He obviously wanted more. This woman is such a pain in the ass.
"Shhh! Love we'll still have lunch date remember? I don't want to ruin my dress." Why did he even suggested that? When she could be his lunch.
Claudia stood up. "Let's go," she offered her hand to him. He stared at it for a moment before he took it.
He was holding her hand all the way down to the parking lot of his building. When they got inside the car, he took out his phone and booked a restaurant where they can have a lunch date.
While driving she keeps on holding his hand. She only let go of his hand whenever he has to brake or now that they have to get out of the car.
They were welcome by the receptionist and guided them in their table. It was beside the glass wall.
Right after they ordered food, Claudia spoke to him.
"How about you tell me about you?" she suddenly asked. He's very keen when they talked about his life. Why'd you wanna know.
"I have a little sister. She's living in the Philippines right now. My parents passed away since we were kids." That explains his life. He doesn't need to elaborate that. Additionally, he just didn't want to talk about his life.
"Oh! I'm sorry to hear that." Suddenly, Inigo felt something. A feeling he's not really familiar to him. Claudia's eyes reflect sadness. It was too sincere for him
"No need to say sorry. How about you tell me about yourself?" She nodded.
"My father is a Spanish guy while my mother is a Filipina. We were originally living in Spain not until our business started to go down. My mom asked my father to migrate in the Philippines and live the life there. So we did. My dad sold our businesses in Spain and put a new business in the Philippines, which is the Santiago's that you know."
"Then why are you here?" he asked.
"I was here to study for college." She continued eating.
"So, you're still a student?"
"No, I already graduated. I am here for a few businesses." then she looked at him. Straight in the eye.
Am I your business?
"I didn't know that Santiago's has business here." Does he sounds obvious?
"Well, London has a lot of stuffs. Good machines and stuff. We were planning to invest in some businesses here. Production here is good. We need that for better quality." Business.
"Wouldn't that be too much? I mean the cost of exporting and importing. Back and forth." Totoo naman.
"Not really. We have partnership with a cargo company that exports and imports stuff here in there. The profit would be good enough for us. Plus the quality." He was just nodding while listening to her. Right, why would they forgo the quality for the cost?
"You must have hired a good marketing per?" She chuckled.
"Why would they hire someone when they already have me?"
"Are you---"
"I was a marketing student. I think that explains why."
