The White Curse (Gazellian Series #2)

Chapter 22

Ramdam kong sinundan ako ni Finn, nasa likuran ko na ito. As I turned to face him, I gave him my brightest smile. Alam kong parte ito ng kanyang salamangka at ginagawa niya ang lahat para maiparanas sa akin ang mga bagay ng ilang taon nang ipinagkait sa akin ng tadhana at panahon.

He gave me a bitter smile.

"Sorry for just giving you illusions, Kalla." Umiling ako sa sinabi niya.

"No, you don't need to apologize Finn. This place seems so real. Muli mo akong hinayaan makaranas ng buhay mula sa labas ng tore." 

Just like a princess' gesture, I slightly bent down my legs as I held the both sides of my dress. I bowed my head to give him my thanks.

"Maraming salamat, salamangkero." I smiled.

And when my eyes went to his I saw how he moved few steps backward away from me with his right hand covering his lips and his ears and face turning into red.

"Godlord, I'm falling Kalla.." I blinked a lot of times before his words registered into my mind.

I grinned at him as he continued staring at me.

"You've lost your composure, Mr. Magician." Parang natauhan ito sa sinabi ko at umayos ito nang tuwid.

Ilang beses itong tumikhim bago muling sinalubong ang mga mata ko. He held his confidence back and started walking to me.

He adjusted his coat and he walks like a royal blooded vampire coming to fetch his princess.

"My apology my lady, it was just a sudden emotion. A very beautiful woman is my weakness. I can't help it." He bent at me with his right hand on his chest and his left at his back.

"Mon Amour, can I ask you for dance?"

Malugod kong inabot sa kanya ang aking kanang kamay na may puting gwantes.

He held my hand as we walk through the vampire crowds. Nakataas ang magkawak naming kamay hanggang sa makarating kami sa gitna ng bulwagan, agad nagharap ang aming mga katawan.

He gently grabbed my waist to pull my whole body into him as he intertwined our fingers together with our other hand.

"You must be a good dancer," kumirot ang dibdib ko nang isiping hindi lamang ako ang nagawa niyang isayaw.

"Yes? I have my two sisters, they used to ask me for a dance. My brothers are poor dancers. They are just good at fire dance."

"Oh, so they are--"

"Let's not talk about them Mon Amour, just enjoy the dance."

The tips of our nose are touching, I can totally feel the hotness of his breathing, the tightening of his grip and my breast meeting his chest as we continued with our every movement.

Sumusunod lamang ako sa bawat galaw at kilos niya. We're making a circular swaying as we point our intertwined hand with the every turns of the direction.

"I'm getting thirsty, this is so..so bad." Ngising sabi nito sa akin. Saglit na naglalapat ang aming mga labi sa tuwing nagsasalita ito.

"I'm willing to satisfy your thirst. I owe you one." Sagot ko.

We finished the circular sway, until we proceed to our next step. We made a round twist with four times turns, he immediately bent my body as his lips followed the traces of my neck giving me light kisses.

"Where do you want?" tanong nito nang agad niya akong ibinalik sa pagkakatayo ngunit nananatiling nakakulong sa bisig niya.

"Everywhere," sagot ko.

"You are being naughty, Kalla. Didn't you know that?" he whispered before holding my hand giving me another turn around. It was so fast but he abruptly pulled me back. 

Nakailang ikot ako hanggang sa matagpuan ko na lamang ang sarili kong nakatalikod at nakahilig sa kanyang dibdib. 

His arms around my waist and mine around his nape. He slightly bit my right ear. 

"How about you? Are you not being naughty, Finn?"

Nagsimula kaming maglakad nang dahan-dahan palikod, patuloy pa rin namin sinusundan ang musika habang may sarili kaming mundo.

"It's not being naughty, Kalla. It's being bad, very very bad.." bumababa na ang kanyang mga kamay. 

I almost gasped when he touched my ass. Palagi na lamang ako nagugulat sa mga biglaang ginagawa ng salamangkerong ito.

One moment he's playing, another minute he's in seductive mode and then another minute he's being noble. Kailangan ko kaya mahuhuli ang kagustuhan nito?

"Then let's be bad together," I answered him.

Kumawala ako sa kanya sa pamamagitan ng panibagong pag-ikot. I put a distance between us, but I assured that my hands can still reach him. I extended sensually my hand against his chest and made a light touch on him going down, down and down. 

Saglit ko lamang pinatagal ang mga kamay ko sa dapat kong hawakan. Naniniwala akong hindi rin magtatagal ay mahihirapan ka nang tumayo salamangkero. 

And there is only one thing that will remain standing. I can't help but to bit my lower lip. Tonight, there is no game. Vampires are vampires, we are lustful creatures. Madaling nag-aapoy ang katawan ng mga bampira higit kanino man sa lahat ng nilalang na nalikha sa mundo.

Lalo na kung wala nang restriksong nakapagitan sa amin.

Naiiling itong ngumisi sa akin bago siya humakbang at muli akong kabigin papalapit sa kanya. 

"How bad Mon Amour?"

Saglit lamang akong napahiwalay sa kanya dahil muli niya akong nakabig. He bent down my body as he inclined my other leg, caressing it slowly. Nakayakap ang mga braso ko sa batok niya.

"It's your choice, Monsieur."

"I can give you choices," 

"What kind of choices?" 

Nagpatuloy kami sa pagsasayaw kasabay ng mga bampirang nasa gitna rin ng bulwagan.

"Choose, fangs? lips? tongue?"

"It's hard to choose." I playfully answered him. 

I turned my back again and I swayed my hips down to his as I desirably showered him touches.

"Kalla, you're such a tease. But I'm afraid you'll get pregnant, are you ready?"
