Kabanata 34
Amazona
Sinulyapan ko si Alas habang naglalakad kami sa pasilyo ng Sharingla's Mactan Resort and Spa. Mahigpit niyang hawak ang kamay ko na tila ba ayaw niya akong pakawalan. Ever since we left the 10,000 roses, he never let it go.
I decided to give him a chance. Iyon naman talaga ang kahulugan ng pagmamahal — ang magbigay ng pagkakataon hangga't mahal mo pa. Hangga't may nararamdaman ka pa. I was just eaten by pain and jealousy that I chose to break with him and remove him out of my life even though I know that it's hard and futile.
Nilingon ako ni Alas. Naningkit ang mga mata niya nang maabutan akong nakatitig sa kaniya.
"Quit staring at me. Kinakabahan ako sa mga ganiyang klase ng tingin mo."
Natawa ako. "Bakit ka kinakabahan?"
"The last time you stared at me that way, you broke up with me."
Sumakay kami ng elevator, isang matandang lalaki ang nasa likuran namin ngunit abala naman sa cellphone niya.
"How did you even find out that I'm here in Cebu?"
Binitawan niya ang kamay ko. He placed it on my shoulder and pulled me closer to him. Mula sa salamin na haligi ng elevator ay nakita ko ang pag-angat ng tingin ng matanda sa amin.
"Dashiel..." sagot ni Alas.
"I told him not to tell you my whereabouts."
"He's my best friend, Ania."
"But he's my cousin."
"And he wants us to end up together."
Inirapan ko siya, nangingiti rin naman. He suddenly kissed the side of my head and locked me inside his arms. Natawa ako nang marinig ang buntong hininga ng matanda sa aming likod.
"Young couples nowadays are so PDA."
Nagkatinginan kami ni Alas bago parehas na ngumisi. Saktong tumunog ang elevator. Lumabas kami at natatawang naglakad papunta sa kwarto ko.
I took the keycard from my cardigan's pocket and tapped it on the card reader. Binuksan ko ang pinto at naunang pumasok. Sumunod si Alas nang hindi binibitawan ang kamay ko. He closed the door and locked it. I was about to step forward when he pulled me and pinned me against the wall. He stared at me for a long while as I placed my hands on his waist.
Bumaba ang tingin niya sa labi ko at muling iniangat sa aking mata. I noticed how the pace of his breathing turned from slow to fast and rough. Maging ang paghinga ko ay bumibilis na rin habang pinagmamasdan siya. It's like we both know what's about to happen next.
And just like two wolves staring at their preys, we both attacked each other's lips like hungry predators. He sucked my lips making me release a soft and sensual moan.
Kasabay ng pagdiin niya ng katawan ko sa pintuan ay ang pagiging mas agresibo ng mga halik niya. He scooped me up, holding me at the back of my knees and kissed me even more wild. I looped my arms around his neck, awed at his strength. His lips moved to my cheek down to my jaw. I tilted my head to give him more access.
Something tickled my stomach when I felt his moist lips crawled down my collar bone. He kissed my lips back as he walked towards somewhere. I didn't know where he's taking me because I was busy kissing him back while caressing his hair to the point that it became messy.
I just realized that he put me on top of the vanity mirror when he suddenly pulled back that slightly brought me back to my senses. Nagkatinginan kami. His image filled me completely. Dark, brooding and powerful. Fire was flaming in his eyes, it's lively. I shivered, half desperate for him, half afraid of what might be.
"You'll never get away from me again..." he whispered huskily before kissing me.
In just one swift move, he took my dress out of my body. My spirit soared from immense temptation that I had to unbuttoned his white button down shirt, too. Alas helped me to remove the sleeves out of his arms without pulling his lips from mine.
I have nothing but lacy underwear. It makes me feel uncomfortable knowing that I'm almost naked in front of a man. But then, I remember that it's Alas — the man I'm in love with.
My hands traced his chest down his perfect set of abs. They're firmed and hard against my palms. Dumausdos pababa ang mga kamay ko. My insides went on fire when I reached the button of his pants.
Alas suddenly stopped from kissing me. We both stared at each other. Yet his gaze seemed to challenge me. The corner of lips turned up.
"Relax. We'll get there."
He carried me again and walked towards the bed. He lay me down, crawled on top of me and brushes my cheek with his thumb.
"I love you..." he stared into my eyes.
I locked my arms around his neck and smiled. "I love you, Alas."
He slowly came in for a kiss but he suddenly pulled away. My lips protruded. He smirked as he kissed the corner of my mouth. I held in my breath for a moment. He kisses the other corner and then moved to my cheek. I felt his eyelashes brushing against my skin and sends chills through out my body.
He moved up and nibbled on my earlobe and my body brakes out in to goosebumps all over. Each and every time he does that my body reacts the same. He ran his nose down my neck. He moaned.
I'm completely paralyze just waiting for his next move. His tongue grazed the side of my neck that made me shut my eyes. I felt a tingle down my spine that made me shiver.
Alas suddenly pulled down my brassiere that exposed my breast. Binalot ako ng matinding hiya nang titigan niya iyon na para bang unang beses niya lang makakakita ng ganoon.
"They aren't actually bad," he grinned playfully.
Without further ado, he cupped my breast. I moaned as I arched my body towards his. He squeezed my breasts together and ran his tongue in between them. I bit down on my lip trying to keep my moan in. He looked up through his eyelashes and winked at me.
The asshat is really enjoying this.
He licked around my areola and the anticipation of his mouth on my nipple is arousing me even more. I felt his warm breath on my nipple and just when I thought I couldn't take any more I felt his tongue caressing my nipple. I threw my head back as I moan out of stratification. He took my breast into his mouth and started sucking on it. I grabbed a handful of the bed sheets as my body moved underneath him.
I felt something down there that I have never felt before. I pulled him up to me, wanting to feel his lips against mine. The kiss became needy as expected. I pushed him a bit, breaking the kiss off.
He gazed at me with a lifted brow. "Why?"
"C-Can you take m-me now? I think something's going to come out down there." I said, feeling the embarssmen reigning on me.
Tumaas ang sulok ng labi niya. "I thought I am the wild one and not you."
Ngumuso ako. Ipinamumukha pa talaga sa akin, nahihiya na nga ako.
Alas suddenly leaned his hands beside me and got up. I covered my breast as he stood near the bed while staring at me. He unbuttoned his slacks and pulled it down from his thighs. Halos mapaiwas ako ng tingin nang makita ang kulay puti niyang boxer brief.
Huminga ako ng malalim. Narinig ko ang bahaw niyang halakhak na para bang pinagtatawanan niya ang reaksyon ko. Lumundo ang kama. He went on top of me again, his legs were on the side of my waist.
My breathing almost halted when I felt something poking my stomach. I slowly turned my head to see what it was.
"Oh my goodness, Alas!" My eyes turned wide as I looked at his buddy down there, reddish and pooling with moist.
He is this big?
He chuckled. "Love your reaction. You made me feel proud."
He settled my legs and suddenly held the garter of my black lacy under. I gulped when he slowly pulled it down until he totally removed it out of my feet.
"A fucking goddess..." he said. He suddenly rocked into me and I felt his cock poking me and it's driving me crazy.
"Alas..."
He stroked my inner thigh with his fingers and it's getting harder for me to breath.
"Stay still," he leaned in and kissed me. With each kiss he gives me it gets harder for me to breath.
He brushed my folds with his fingers and I swear I almost die. His rough fingers felt so good. I widened my legs to let him explore me. He ran his finger up and down.
"Already pooling, huh?" he teased.
I can't even speak right now all I can focus is on the pleasure his fingers are giving me. He slides one finger inside me and I felt a little pressure.
"Shit!" I cursed.
He placed his thumb on my clit and started drawing small circles. I threw my head back with a long moan as I grabbed a handful of the sheets.
"Hmm..." he nibbled on my neck and speeds up his thumbs. My hips start moving on their own to the rhythm of his hand.
"Alas, please!" my breath increased as something inside me is building up. My toes curled and I squealed. "Alas!"
I cried. I'm losing my mind I feel like I need to explode.
"Let it go, hun."
And with that I go over board. My body brakes out into goosebumps, I felt tingles from head to toe, and I feel lighter than I have ever felt.
He locked his gaze with me, smirking like he just won a championship.
"Your first orgasm."
Huminga ako ng malalim, sinusubukan bawiin ang lakas kahit pa tila imposible. Pinatakan niya ako ng masuyong halik sa labi, tila pinapakalma ako sa ganoong paraan.
"Can you still take more?" he asked.
"More what?"
"More orgasms."
Bahagya ko siyang hinampas sa braso niya, ramdam ang matinding hiya. I don't think I'd never get used dirty talking with him. Pakiramdam ko ay sasabog ang pisngi ko dahil sa pamumula.
"Shut up. You're making me embarassed."
"Aw, get used to it. Aaraw-arawin kita."
Pagkasabi noon ay mabilis na siyang bumaba sa bandang hita ko. He held my thighs and positioned himself in front of my center. He slowly pushes his tip inside me and I felt the sudden pressure.
Damn it! I never thought this would hurt alot!
"Breathe, baby." he stopped and then crawled up to my face.
He caressed my cheek with his thumb, giving me a little sense of comfort. He kissed me as he ran his tongue inside my mouth. I moaned, feeling the pain down there.
He pushed himself inside me and I felt more pain. I cried out into his mouth and the bastard even pinched my nipple. He pushed a little further and I feel like he is tearing me inside.
I bit down on his lip as he continued to move inside me.
"Stop moving for a while." I said, my eyes were close.
He held my hands and we interlock our fingers.
"Ready when you are..." He leaned down and kisses me very gentle that I feel like crying.
He thrust inside of me very slowly and I felt a mix of pain and pleasure. I left his mouth to gasp for some air. He sucked on my breast as he continues to thrust inside me gentle.
My hips start moving with his hips.
"That's it, baby. Rock with me."
I wrapped my legs around him and we started moving as one. My muscles begin to tighten as he moved faster. Our body cover with sweat start sliding against each other. Some thing inside of me starts building up again but I don't know how to reach that point.
The tingly sensation started back up again. I stop moving and pinned him to me as he grinned inside of me poking me right on the spot. I pushed back as I brought him closer into me.
"Come, Ania." he ordered sexily.
I scratched his back as he pushed me over the limit.
"Shit!" I shouted.
My body breaks out into goosebumps and I curled my toes as butterflies are release all over my body. This time felt so much better than last time. I start to quiver and I felt him stiffen.
"Fuck!" he growled, eyes closing so tight while clenching his jaw. His hold on me tightened like he's slowly losing his strength.
Pinanood ko siyang manginig sa ibabaw ko, ang mga ugat sa leeg ay bumabakat.
He dropped his body on top of me and nuzzled my neck.
"That was good..." he said in between breath. "Thank you."
I wiped the sweat on his forehead while staring at him.
"For what?"
"For trusting me. For not giving up on me despite of the pain I caused you."
Ngumiti ako at hinalikan siya sa tungki ng kaniyang ilong. Ramdam ko ang antok na unti-unting naghahari sa akin. Niyakap ko siya at hinayaang ipahinga ang mukha sa gilid ng kaniyang leeg bago pumikit.
"You will never regret loving me. I promise."
***
Nagising ako sa kalagitnaan ng madaling araw. It's just three in the morning and I already feel hungry. Maingat kong inalis ang kamay ni Alas na nasa ibabaw ng tiyan ko at tumayo. I took the white sheets with me to cover up my naked body.
Nagsalin ako ng tubig mula sa pitsel na nasa coffee table. Nang malamnan ang sikmura ay naglakad ako patungo sa balkonahe. It's already open. The salty fresh smell of the ocean lingered in my nose.
Niyakap ko ang sarili habang pinagmamasdan ang madilim na karagatan kung saan ang buwan lang ang siyang nagsisilbing liwanag.
I've never felt this complete as a woman. Alas completed me. Hindi kailanman ako magsisisi na ibinigay ko ng sarili ko sa kaniya ano man ang kahinatnan namin, ano man ang pagdaanan namin.
Ilang minuto pa ko pang pinagmamasdan ang dagat nang maramdaman ko ang masuyong yakap mula sa aking likuran. Napangiti ako.
"Can't sleep anymore?" he asked through his raspy voice. His breath was making love with my skin.
"Nakaramdam ako ng gutom."
"You want me to order?"
Umiling ako. "It's fine. Ikaw, bakit gising ka na?"
"I suddenly felt empty. Wala ka na pala sa tabi ko."
Natawa ako. "Tatakasan na sana kita."
"Go ahead. You think I won't be able to find you?" he chuckled arrogantly. "Try me."
Tahimik akong napangiti. Niyakap ko ang mga kamay niya na nasa tiyan ko saka isinandal ang ulo sa dibdib niya.
"I won't even dare to try."
Humigpit ang yakap niya sa akin saka ako pinatakan ng masuyong halik sa pisngi. We were both staring into the amazing view ahead of us when I felt something cold on my ring finger.
"Marry me."
Mabilis ang tibok ng puso akong napatingin sa mga kamay ko at nakita roon ang isang singsing. The stone shined in the darkness that made me see how stunning it was.
"A-Alas..." Tears welled up in my eyes.
"It's not a question, Ania."
Natawa ako. "You won't give me a choice?"
"Is there a choice anyway? You will only say yes."
"At kung hindi ako pumayag?" natatawang tanong ko pa rin.
"Damn you. You're not thinking of rejecting me, are you?"
Hindi na napigilan pa, humagalpak ako ng tawa saka siya hinarap. Ipinulupot ko ang mga kamay paikot sa leeg niya at nginitian siya. He's staring intensely at me, careful and full of passion.
"Your hand is the one I want to hold as I face all the problems in the near future, Alas. The man who I want to build my family with. The man I want to see at the end of the aisle as I wear the most beautiful gown on my wedding day..." Tears fell down my cheeks but his thumb was there to wipe it all away. "The only man who I can kiss in front of everyone that's dear to me and say that I'm fucking in love with him," I chuckled and he did, too. "Ikaw lang, Alas. It's fine if you didn't give me a choice to pick. I don't need that anyway because this amazona will definitely marry you."
