Heat Wave (Disaster Series #2)

Steal

I gasped when his kisses transitioned from slow and passionate into something aggressive. I can't help but smile against his lips when his movement made me press my back on the mechanical bull that's behind us.

His hold on my hand that's on his chest tightened. His tongue grazed my lower lip and entered my mouth. I don't have much experience but my tongue still feverishly battled his for dominance.

A hot slow moan can't help but slip its way out of my lips when Gon changed the rhythm.

He cussed and weakly tore himself away from me.

Then, as if on cue, the door slowly creaked and opened.

"Kuya? Nandito pala kayo?"

Hindi ko mapigilan ang pagsinghap at bahagyang pagtago sa likod niya. I'm not sure I can face Arcus right now.

Did he just see me and his brother doing that? And oh shit, I heard footsteps follow behind him too. His friends are here with him.

"Yes, I taught Tequila how to ride a horse. So we decided to stop by." Gon shrugged his shoulders causally, held my wrist, and lead me back into the couch.

Damn, how could he act normally as if nothing happened? Habang ako rito ay nakayuko lang sa kinauupuan at halos ayaw nang mag-angat pa ng kahit isang tingin sa mga bagong dating.

"Tequila? What are you doing here?"

My eyes widened and I almost muttered all the curse words inside my head out loud. Nang nag-angat ako ng tingin ay tama nga ang pagkakarinig ko sa boses, si Quan ang nagtanong at kasama niya ang Kuya niyang si Quinn at iilan pang kaibigan nila.

"Uh, nag-w-working student kasi ako sa kanila," I can't help but answer Quan truthfully this time.

When I looked at their reactions, especially Quan's genuine surprise to what I told him, it seems like they didn't see me and Gon kissing. So, I guess it's fine to act like normal now, even when it almost seems impossible with my weakening body from our kiss.

"Is it okay if we'll stay here to drink, Kuya? Tequila?" Arcus looked at me particularly.

Sunod-sunod naman ang tango ko sa kanya. I don't even think he should ask me too. This is their property so he can clearly do whatever he wants with his friends here.

"You okay? Should we go home already?" Gon, who's beside me, whispered on my ear.

My cheeks flushed when I saw how his brother's friends looked at us. Naupo na sila roon sa couch na kaharap namin habang iyong iba nama'y naghila ng silyang mauupuan. There's five of them. Arcus, Quann and his brother, and their two other friends.

I'm sure that if we'll leave right away, they'll think that we're guilty of doing something. So I think we should stay.

"Dito na lang muna tayo," I whispered back at him.

Kaya sa huli, napasali na rin siya sa kuwentuhan at inuman nila. Habang nasa tabi niya lang ako, paminsan-minsan ding tumatanggap ng inumin na inaabot ng mga kaibigan ni Arcus.

Pinanlakihan ko ng mata si Quan na kanina pa talaga sulyap ng sulyap sa akin, parang naghihinala pa yata ng kung anu-ano. Ni hindi siya masyadong sumasali sa usapan ng mga kaibigan nila at nakatuon lang ang atensyon sa akin.

I rolled my eyes at him and he grinned. Naabutan ang interaksyong naming iyon ni Gon. He looked at Quan then me before downing one shot.

Hindi ko na mapigilan ang panlalaki ng mga mata nang nakita kong tumayo na talaga si Quan sa upuan niya. My hunch was right when he started going near to our couch. Kami lang dalawa ni Gon ang nakaupo kaya may espasyo pa kung uusog pa ako papalapit kay Gon.
