The Bachelors
"Leo how's the distribution?"
"Going well Sir. Also Mr. George is inviting you to his bachelor's party."
"Tell him I'll be attend his party."
Leo nodded to him slightly to show respect before he left the office, leaving him alone.
He got some whiskey on his left hand while browsing the documents using his right hand.
For the past years, he has been living like this. Well, he was quite happy whenever he is with his sister. But now that she left, he feels somewhat empty. Not that he feels full whenever her sister is around but you know, less emptier.
His phone caught his attention when it suddenly rang.
He put down the papers on the table before he took the call.
Calling Anton...
"Yes?"
[We got a spy.]
He stopped himself from smirking as he already felt his left brow arching.
"I'll be there. Lock that shit up."
Really? I have a spy? He thought to himself.
He put down the call and the glass of whiskey before he took his coat.
As soon as he went out, he went to Leo's desk.
"Leo fix my things inside. I'll leave now."
"Yes sir," He didn't bother to wait for Leo's response and left.
He clicked the ground floor button and the elevator opened up.
He was just silent the whole time riding the elevator. Slowly, he was entertain with his own reflection on the cold wall of elevator.
As soon as the door opened, he stepped out while getting his cars key in the left pocket of his coat.
Good thing the ride was smooth and the other building that he owns is just near the block.
He parked his car in the basement where his men are waiting for him.
the moment he got out of his car, a tall man looking french wearing a black long sleeves tucked in his black slacks welcomes him with a slight bow.
He didn't reciprocate and looks at the guy with a stern look.
"Secluded basement Sir." He didn't even bother and just went straight ahead. No more chitchat. He's not there to play around, anyway.
As soon as he entered the secluded basement, he took out the gun that he has been hiding on his back.
"Inigo." Anton greeted. There's no enthusiasm in his tone nor excitement. They all know that this is not the situation where they can fool around.
Anton is a friend of him and the same time, he's the right hand of the organization that Inigo has been running for years.
Even with Anton, Inigo didn't bother to reciprocate the greetings. He went straight to the spy that he said in the call.
It is sitting on a monobloc chair, all tied up and beaten up.
"What's your name?" The moment Inigo asked that, the man started to tremble as the cold tone of Inigo started seeping through his skin.
Despite being scared for his life, he remained silent.
A few seconds and the man is still silent. Inigo almost chuckle and took a cigarette from his pocket and lit that up and puff it a bit.
"I have a short and thin patience, just letting you know,"
With one inhale of the smoke, he put out the cigarette by poking it onto the man's forehead, making him screaming in pain.
"Again, what's your name?" This time, there's a hint of authority in Inigo's tone.
As if it was a thunder.
When the man remain silent, he chuckled for a moment before he looked at guy not believing his loyalty.
Sometimes he really hates loyalty. Specifically, at situations like this.
Just like what he said, he has short and thin patience.
He pointed the tip of it on the temple of his head. The discreet nervous that the spy was holding and keeping seeps through as his lips and eyes started trembling.
When Inigo sees the spy's trembling eyes, he places his finger on the trigger.
"I am giving you the last chance. There's no turning back once I pulled the trigger."
The spy closed his eyes as he felt the gun still on his forehead. His lips is tightly shut and this started to annoy Inigo.
He pulled the gun and cock in a swift move before shooting the very ground centimeters aways from him.
The moment Inigo points the already cocked again on his forehead, he immediately answered.
"Simon." He yelled. "My name is Simon."
"Now Simon, from which group are you?"
"O--mega." his lips was trembling as he answers Inigo with all honesty.
"Great." He pulled the gun away and turn around
There's a hint of relief on Simon's eyes as he watches Inigo walks away from him. For a moment, he felt thanking a divine being from being saved from Inigo's bullet.
Almost ten steps away from him, Inigo turned around and pointed the gun to him.
His eyes was confused until he realizes what is about to happen...
"Asshole! I gave you the inf--" with that he pulled the trigger.
He's not stupid enough to let him alive. Not in this life and world asshole. Inigo thought.
"Clean up the mess and investigate the Omega." He already has an idea of who Omega is.
But not quite sure.
He drive himself home. He need to rest before he goes to George's party. He don't want to show up looking stressed.
It was almost 6 in the evening when Anton sent him the information about the Omega.
He browse his email and saw the documents. It has the information about the members and history.
"Santiago?" He said out loud while thinking how familiar the surname is to him. "Younger huh?" He muttered when he saw the picture of the heir of the organization. It was just a year younger than him.
After studying the information for a bit, he prepared for the party.
He removed his clothes and took a quick bath. He wore a pair of jeans, white v-neck shirt, topped with leather jacket, and just a pair of black combat boots.
The drive wasn't that long. It was almost 9 in the evening when he got there.
"Inigo, I thought you're not coming. It's late." George
"Did Leo not told you that I'm coming?" His brows were narrowed as he finds it unusual for Leo forgetting his duty.
"He did. But I thought you had urgent business. You know, you're never late into parties." He laughed at his friend's remarks. "Anyway, thank you for coming. Enjoy the night." He nodded and help himself with a glass of whiskey.
He talked with the people he know and have some girls as his company. Well he is a bachelor, what do you expect?
He sat with George's inner circle of friends. He knows them and he used to party with them, a lot. That is why he was able to take a seat with them openly.
The night went on and the only thing that Inigo did is drinking his cold whiskey.
It was really late when a woman in a tight red dress entered the bar and talked to George. She has this spanish features and has darker skin tone. It was darker than his. It feels like he is seeing summer in her skin.
The beautiful woman and George went closer to their table. As soon as he saw that, removed his arm on the woman who was accompanying him. The woman got even mad and left him, leaving a space beside him.
He sipped on his liquor while secretly glancing at the woman, tasting the bitterness of alcohol. He admit, he is interested-- in so many ways.
"Bachelors and friends, this is Claudia. She's a friend of mine." George introduced his other colleagues and he remained silent.
Sometimes being mysterious catches attention
"That's Inigo," When George pointed him out with his glass, Inigo just raised his too and pretended that he's not interested at all.
She smiled but when she noticed that he's kind of aloof, her eyebrow arched and her luscious lips formed a smirk.
He needs to get this woman as Inigo already knew her.
She's Claudia Santiago. The daughter of Omega's founder, Carmelo Santiago. She's the future heir of the organization and she might be the answer to his questions.
"Do you want me to get you another seat Claudia?" George asked her.
"No. I can sit there." she said and pointed the vacant seat beside Inigo.
She has this deep yet feminine voice.
I wonder how she sounds when she moan.
George is no longer shock that Claudia seems interested to his good old friend. The scene is no longer unfamiliar to him as almost every woman that he has introduced to Inigo would normally fall for his looks. Who wouldn't anyway?
"Oh! Then be his guest." George said why chuckling to which made Claudia roll her eyes.
You've got wrong decision there honey. You're in my trap.
She sat beside him and crossed her legs. Her dress is quite revealing and has slit on it which exposed her legs even more.
Inigo just saw how his other friends check her out. For a moment, he wanted to pull out his gun and shoot his friends' eyes that has been raving Claudia's body the moment she sat beside him.
"Claudia have some drink." Callyx, one of George's friend offered a glass of whiskey to her.
She leaned forward which makes them closer. There are two things why she's doing this.
(a) She's flirting because she wants me or (b) she's flirting because she needs something from me for their organization, Omega.
Why is he even assuming??
The woman remain silent as she sips on her whiskey.
"You're Inigo Shawn Hamilton right? The founder of Gold Industry." she suddenly asked.
She turn to him and gave him a short smile
"I didn't know that I'm quite famous," and then he let out a soft chuckle.
"I saw you in the Forbes Magazine. One of the hottest bachelor according to Forbes." She smirked.
"Do I look good in magazine or in person?" he smirked
"You look intimidating in the magazine. But I must say that they're not lying." He took a sipped on his whiskey and remained silent, not really responding to her claims. That's how you respond to a certain praise.
"Just kidding. Anyway, I haven't introduced myself properly, Inigo Shawn Hamilton." He extended his hand.
"Claudia Santiago." She held his hand and squeezed her hand a bit.
"Santiago? Where you came from? Your last name sounds familiar."
He faked an interest. Little did she know, Inigo has already dig some dirt to know her and the organization where she belongs.
"We originally came from Spain. My father and I migrated to the Philippines when I was 11."
"Philippines? Then you must be the daughter of Carmelo Santiago? The founder of Santiago shipping line." she seems shock the moment Inigo mentioned her father's name
He knows her father in terms of business. But not in the underground world. They didn't had any interaction before.
"You know my father?" she asks. She sounded curious and amazed at the same time.
"Yes. I had a business with him four years ago. I had him shipped raw materials from the Philippines which I needed here. Because you know my business is base in here."
They talked a lot that night. She told him how her father was going and she's quite drunk.
"George I'm going home. Thank you for tonight." She said, looking flustered.
"Take care." George said and continue talking to the woman he has been eyeing.
Claudia turned around and slightly glanced at Inigo, who is quiet now.
"Inigo thank you." she said with a smile.
"I'll give you a ride." He suddenly suggested.
A hint of shock plastered on her face but she immediately looked away.
"No need. I think I can drive myself home." She starts walking away from the table but her walk looks too unstable.
Inigo immediately followed her, as he saw her falling on her own.
"How are you supposed to drive?" Just right in the moment, he held her small waist and leaned her back on his chest to support her weight.
"George I'll drive her home. Im gonna go first." George just nodded. Claudia couldn't even cut him off as he started to walk her out of the place.
The whole time they were walking out of the place, Inigo is holding his waist.
He took out his car key and opened the car as soon as he spot it.
"Careful," he said as he sat her on the shotgun seat
He looked at her looking drunk. Until he saw her feet, almost reddish. It must have been the heels.
He knelt down and removed the heels himself. He leaned forward to put her seat belts on but Claudia stopped him.
"I'll do it myself," she said.
He just nodded and went inside the car through the other door. Claudia watches him as he enter the car. The moment he settled himself, she snaked her hands on his nape and pulled him for a kiss. It didn't last long as she felt uncomfortable. She pushed him and sat on his lap and continue the kiss.
First move huh!
"You've gotta bring me somewhere," She whispered in between their kisses.
There's a fire on their eyes as they looked at each other. The moment Inigo nodded, Claudia sat again on the seat.
Inigo took out his phone and booked a nearby hotel. The moment it got confirmed, he drove away.
When they got in front of the facade of the hotel, the valet took the key from Inigo.
He went to Claudia and opened the door for her. He knelt again and helped her to wear the heels.
"Thank you." She said, almost whispering.
Inigo helped her getting out of the car. He immediately snaked his hand on her small waist as they walk inside the building.
"I have a reservation. Hamilton." Inigo said.
"Room 1407 sir." The receptionist gave him the card key.
Claudia was stumbling on her own as they walk to the elevator. The moment they got inside, Inigo sealed her lips with intense kisses, to which Claudia gladly reciprocated with more intensity.
"Easy there." he said stopping her as he chuckled.
"I hate you." She whispered. When they got out of the elevator, he snaked again his hand around her waist.
He pinned her on the wall as soon as they entered the room. There's a few seconds that they shared just staring at each other before Inigo sealed her again with a kiss.
Claudia helped him removing his jacket as his kisses started to go down on her neck.
Inigo's left hand supported her back while his other hand kept caressing her almost exposed leg.
His hand went upward, reaching for the zipper. When he finally got it, he unzipped her dress making it fall to the floor, leaving her with his nude underwear and brassiere.
He raked at her almost nakedness before she scooped her up. Claudie snaked her arms and legs on him to support her body.
Inigo went inside while simultaneously removing his leather shoes. When he saw the counter, he placed her on top of it and remove his socks. He also helped Claudia removing her heels before he removed his shirt.
Claudia lips parted as she stares at his chiseled chest. He really has a buff body despite his age.
When he leaned forward, Claudia couldn't herself but leaned backwards as she places her hands behind her to support her body.
Inigo rest his right hand on her leg while his other hand went to her face to pull her back and kisses her again with full of desire.
His right hand started to move upward, avoiding her delicateness in between her legs.
His hand rested on her face and simultaneously making small notion, giving Claudia butterflies in her stomach. It went up again and expertly unclasped her brassier.
He moved a bit away to stare at her bossom, perking perfectly in front of him while Claudia was looking upward, feeling shy.
Somehow, she seems lost in their own world. I'm gonna devour you tonight, Claudia.
