TEN

Zev was shocked 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.

Zev didn't say a word. Her face remained to stare at Reese's happy face. She had no idea why he always made her cute, why in the world he took care of her. 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.

"Do you want to tell me something Rk?"  She asked stopping the young man from slicing the almond pancake.

He shrugged and smiled at her and resumed doing after a few seconds of pausing.

"Esta delicioso, here try it, (It's delicious)" he said bringing the almond pancake to his mouth with a spoon.  "Here, open your mouth."  He said cutely.

"Why did you kiss me that night?"  She asked directly, maybe Reese thought she didn't know that because she lost consciousness due to the excessive alcohol she was drinking.

He stopped and let out a sigh.  "I-i like you very much, that was the reason." He admitted it. "But I think I already love you," he added looking into his eyes again, their eyes met and her chest began to throb, she could hear it. She didn't know why she couldn't look down, and she seemed to prefer to look into his eyes.

"Why do you love Me?"  She finally asked.  She wants to know why he loves her.

"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.  A smile of a god.

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

This time Reese was blanked.  "I love you because I love you. Right this time I consider myself as a king, I'm looking and searching for a Queen."  He didn't know why those words suddenly came out of his mouth, but he was very sincere after saying that. "I love you."  He added that it was almost a whisper.  He doesn't know why Zev asks the question and seems to be avoiding what he says.

"But the king himself can be able to rule his kingdom, even without the existence of the Queen," she said wisely.

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 love 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," She said.

"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.  "

He 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 of the opening of her mouth, 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 the maid Mara.  "Get me some 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 him 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 disgraciado (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 said, smirking.

"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. See what happened to Juli on El Fili. The girl hoped for a miracle but did something happen? That's why I'm driving and building my path. I sometimes lost sight because of uncertainty but I can able to move forward. "

"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 said standing up, a sign that she had ended their conversation.  "Ahmm, 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 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 a CEO, and he was the only one his Daddy could count on.  Now the young man's 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 the 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 her 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 pleasure because he wasn't used to being. But Zev's beautiful body gives him a hard-on and now his twin erect and protests.

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 private and sensitive parts. 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.

Moans and growls reigned inside Reese's room. He played faster and faster. He sighed and moaned. It was a pleasure man. 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.
