Over Each Ruins (Virago Series #2)

until each endless

"I love you, baby." Rinig kong sabi niya bago siya tumigil para iangat ang sarili't halikan ako.

I smiled between our lips kissing. At that moment, I tasted myself in him when his tongue asserted dominance. I felt hot as I tasted how sweet I was. No wonder he was addicted. Nang kinalas naman niya ang halik ay doon ko nakita papaanong sobrang gulo na ng buhok niya gawa ng paghila ko mula pa kanina.

"I've never imagined that you're this insatiable." Nanghihina kong sambit habang pinaglalaruan ang buhok niya.

"I never did either," He smirked proudly, as if eating me out is an achievement, "I'm so thirsty for you, I guess."

Natatawa ko siyang hinampas bago inayang magpahinga dahil paniguradong tutuloy ulit siya sa'kin kung hindi ko na siya pipigilan ngayon pa lang.

"Are you tired?" Mahina niyang bulong nang mahiga siya sa tabi ko at takpan ako ng kumot. Ipinalibot niya rin ang kamay sa'kin at hinila ako palapit.

I pouted, "Your fault."

"Sorry, baby. Gawin ko ba ulit?" Ngisi niya.

Hinampas ko siya, "Gago."

Tatawa-tawa niya akong hinalikan sa noo. Natawa na lang din ako at isiniksik ang sarili sa tabi niya. He took the chance to hug me tight then. Naisip ko pang matulog pero malapit na rin naman kaming maghanda para sa pag-alis mamaya.

Besides, I can feel that he's awake and he doesn't want to sleep either. Marahil ay naisip niyang gisingin ako mamaya para hindi kami ma-late sa date namin.

Still, it's awkward for me to just stay here in silence. Gusto ko siyang daldalin o hindi kaya ay i-open up ang patungkol sa pag-aaral ko sa labas ng bansa. Gayunman ay parang hindi ko alam paano 'yun sisimulan.

Should I start with telling him my dreams? Or ask him what would he feel if magkalayo kami? O kung sasama ba siya? Ano ba dapat?

Lihim akong napanguso kasi hindi ko alam kung paano ko sisimulan. But then I guess, it's not my character to lay in circles. Mas gusto kong i-direkta sakanya ang concern ko kasi alam kong bukas naman sa komunikasyon si Novan. I mean, he already changed his ways.

I pouted discreetly. Truth is, I just wanted him near. He's like my strength and even when I don't like being this dependent on him, I can't help it. But on the other hand, I want to reach the peak of my career as well. Ayokong pumili pero alam kong mahihirapan kami.

Mahina akong bumuntong-hininga.

"Um... Nov...?" I called out, my fingers flew to draw circles on his chest. It was my way of easing my anxiety.

"Hm?" 

"Well... I just want to ask if you know that... I really dreamed of being a supervisor of IMI, or to be like your Mom?" Kinagat ko ang labi at sinadyang huwag ituloy ang sasabihin, "I mean, it was my long dream. Do you know that?"

Hindi ako tumingala para makita ang reaksyon niya pero dahil magkatabi lang kami ay halos ramdam ko papaano siya natigilan. But then, he just played with my hair. He tucked a few strands away before his arms encircled tightly around me.

"You sounded tense while telling me," He whispered, "Yes, I know those, baby. But what's the matter? Hmm? Do you feel pressured about it? Tell me."

Nakagat ko ang labi sa narinig bago ko siya tiningala. Malambot ang tingin niya sa'kin at wari'y naghihintay din siyang sagutin ko ang tanong niya. There was no hint of hesitation in his eyes na baka mapasama kami dahil sa pag-aaral ko. There's nothing but love and yearning there, and it made me feel so open. Napanguso ako ro'n pero agad ko ring sinubukang ngumiti.
