CHAPTER 20: MELT ON THE FLOOR

CHAPTER 20: MELT ON THE FLOOR

*********

LUNA

"Teka, saan ba tayo pupunta, Camille?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Basta. 'Wag ka ng magtanong." Nakangiting sabi ni Camille habang nasa daan ang mata nito.

Tumingin ako sa paligid. Madilim at halos puro puno ang aming dinadaanan. Parang hindi rin ito masyadong dinadaanan ng mga kotse dahil wala pa akong nakikitang nasasalubong namin. Kinakabahan tuloy ako. Hindi ko naman matawagan si Dylan dahil walang signal ang cellphone ko dito.

"Camille, nililigaw mo ba ako?"

"Napag-utusan lang ako, 'no." Sabi nito na nakapagpakaba sa akin.

"Stop the car, Camille!"

Huminto ang sasakyan at humarap sa akin si Camille. "Right on time. We're here. Get out now, Luna."

Nagmamadali kong binuksan ang pinto at bumaba. Bago ko pa man masara ang pinto ay nagsalita pa si Camille.

"You'll thank me later."

Naiinis kong isinara ang pinto. Pagkatapos n'un ay pinaharurot na nito ang sasakyan paalis. Iginala ko ang paningin ko sa paligid.

Kumunot ang aking noo nang makita ang isang maliwanag na parte ng kagubatan. Lumapit ako roon at namangha nang makitang ang mga maliliit na kandila na nasa lupa ang nagbibigay ng liwanag sa daanan.

Hindi ko alam pero parang hinihila nito ako na lakarin ang tinutumbok na daan ng mga kandila.

"What took you so long?"

Nag-angat ako ng tingin at nakita si Dylan na nakatayo sa likod ng isang lamesa. Kakaibang saya ang aking nadarama.

"Dylan!" Tumakbo ako palapit sa kanya at niyakap ito.

"Nagustuhan mo ba ang ginawa ko?" Pinagdikit niya ang aming noo.

So, kasabwat pala niya si Camille. Akala ko pa naman ay nililigaw ako ni Camille dahil gusto niyang masolo ang Dylan ko.

Napansin kong nakasuot ito ng suit and tie. "Hindi ka ba naiinitan sa suot mo?"

He tilted his head on the other side. "Actually, I felt aroused when your boobs touch my chest."

Pinalo ko ito sa braso. "You surprised me."

"Glad you appreciated it. Pinaghirapan ko itong ipa-set up." Iginaya niya ako sa may silya at umupo ako roon. Umupo ito sa silya na nasa harap ko. Ibilabas nito ang isang punpon ng bulaklak. "Flowers?"

"Thanks." Nakangiti kong sabi.

Nang pumitik ito ay may tumugtog na musika at naglabasang mga lalaki na may hawak na mga plato. Isa-isa nitong inayos ang pagkain namin.

"Say 'ah'." Sabi ni Dylan habang inuumang sa akin ang isang kutsarang pagkain.

Sinubo ko iyon at pagkatapos ay ginawa rin iyon pabalik sa kanya. Kakaibang saya ang aking naramdaman ng mga oras na ito. Feeling ko, mamatay na ako sa sobrang kasiyahan.

"May I have this dance, Baby Luna?"

Hinawakan ko ang kamay nito at tumayo. Inilagay ko ang aking kamay sa kanyang balikat at ang braso naman nito ay pumalupot sa aking bewang.

"You smell divine." Sabi nito habang inaamoy ang aking balikat.

I sighed softly and looked up at him. I hadn't realized his face was so close. In the dim light, it seemed darker than ever, harder, and his superiority in age made him seem a world away from me.

"Why did you do this?" I whispered.

He didn't smile. His dark eyes held mine and he almost stopped dancing. His body moved slowly against me as the music blared around them.

"Don't you have any idea?" He asked quietly.

My lips parted on a held breath. His hand slid up into the thickness of my hair and grasped it, holding my face at just the right angle as he bent toward me.

"Because of this." he breathed.

My eyes widened with faint surprise as his hard lips brushed across mine once, twice, in a lazy exploration that was pure seduction.

The lean fingers in my hair contracted, making me gasp so that my lips parted. He made a sound deep in his throat and began to move again to the music. His mouth didn't touch mine, but hovered just above my lips, making my head spin as we danced.

My eyes met his shyly as I felt his coffee-scented breath on my lips.

"Dylan.." I protest.

"No?" He smiled. It was a different smile from any I'd ever seen on a man's face before. It threatened and seduced at the same time. He tugged my head back farther on his shoulder and executed a turn that brought one long, powerful leg in between both of hers, a contact that made me gasp out loud even as his mouth moved closer and I breathed him.

I was hardly aware of the music. He did it again, and again, his eyes blazing into mine, his body an instrument of the most exquisite torture. I caught at his arm when the contact worked on me so deeply that my knees went weak.

"Are you going to faint on me, Baby Luna?" He whispered, sliding his cheek against mine so that his breath was warm on my ear. He nibbled the lobe delicately.

I shivered. He laughed softly and stopped as the music ended. I couldn't look at him as he escorted me back to the table; I was overwhelmed by the sensations I'd felt. Sensuality was new to me. So was desire, but surely that was what I'd felt shivering through my body at the veiled threat in his words.

"Tell me you don't want my mouth, Luna." He murmured, letting his gaze fall to my parted lips.

"If you don't stop that, I'm going to melt on the floor," I said in a husky whisper. "Shame on you."

"Hmm. Before you melt in to the floor because of me, I want to do something that will surely leave you breathless."

Bago pa man ako makapagsalita ay lumuhod na ito sa aking harap. Gulat na gulat ako sa kanyang ginawa. May dinukot ito sa bulsa ng suit niya at napasinghap ako nang makita ang pulang kahon ang inilabas nito.

Binuksan ni Dylan ang kahon. Napatakip ako sa aking bibig. Nag-init ang sulok ng aking mata.

"Wil-"

"Yes!" Hindi ko na napigilan pa ang aking sarili at niyakap ko ito sa leeg.

Napaupo siya sa lupa habang yakap ang bewang ko. Kinuha ko na mismo sa kahon na hawak nito ang singsing at isinuot iyon sa palasingsingan ko.

"Wait, wait. Hindi mo na ako pinatap-"

His breath caught as my mouth opened on his, forcing his lips apart with its expert pressure. My eyes closed and I slid my arms under his and around him. He was powerfully built. I could feel the muscles rippling as he held me, feel the strength of him. I floated between heaven and earth, and my body began to tauten until it was almost painful with a tension I'd never experienced before.

As if he sensed it, his hand slid to the base of my spine and jerked, dragging my hips against his so that I felt the blatant reality of a man's physical arousal.

I gasped against his mouth. He lifted his head. His eyes were darker than ever, narrow, intense.

"Patapusin mo naman ako. Walang bastusan." Nakangiting sabi nito.

"Ah, okay." Kimi kong sagot.

Naiiling itong nagbuntong hininga. "Will you marry me?"

"Isn't it obvious?" I said while raising my finger with a ring.

"Nope." He smiled sweetly.

"Not my problem."
