CHAPTER 40: GIFT
ENYO'S POV
Nag-angat ako ng tingin kay Stone nang maramdaman ko ang labi niya sa tuktok ng ulo ko. His eyes are twinkling with the same happiness that I can see that is visible on his lips. Maging ako ay hindi na nawala ang ngiti na kanina pa nakapaskil sa mga labi ko.
Some bride will probably lose her mind if on her wedding day she got soak with rain and so is her visitors. Siguro ang iba ay kanina pa umiiyak nang malaman na kailangan i-move ang reception sa covered venue dahil hindi pwedeng gawin iyon sa labas dahil umuulan pa.
The rain stopped probably an hour ago pero hindi na kami bumalik sa orihinal na plano para sa reception. My wedding planner proved that she's wonderwoman in disguise because she managed to finish the new venue in no time while we're all fixing ourselves. She and her team decorated the place that was offered to us and she made it look like a rustic theme wedding reception complete with hundreds of twinkling lights, lanterns, and other decorations that she utilized from the original set-up that didn't got destroyed with the rain.
But I already assured her. It's the best wedding for me and I'm not going to get angry for the things that happened na hindi naman kontrolado ng kahit na sino.
Isa pa wala naman nagreklamo na kahit na sino. Mukha ngang enjoy pa ang lahat dahil suot na nila ang mga sarili nilang damit. To be exact, lahat sila naka-pajamas na dahil kung susuotin nila ang damit nila para bukas ay naka-pajama sila uuwi. I even saw Stone's grandfather, Poseidon, wearing a Superman pajama set.
Me on the other hand has an extra dress since my sister packed a luggage for my honeymoon. Ganoon din si Stone na may iba pang mga damit na dala.
Honeymoon.
Nag-init ang magkabilang pisngi ko at hindi naman lingid iyon sa kaalaman ni Stone na naglalakbay ang tingin sa buong mukha ko. Umangat ang sulok ng mga labi niya na para bang nababasa niya ang iniisip ko.
"Later," he said as his arm around me tightened.
"Dito ba tayo matutulog o babyahe na tayo papunta sa kung saan mo ako gustong dalhin agad? I mean... we can spend the night here." Lalong tumindi ang init sa mga pisngi ko nang lumawak ang pagkakangiti niya. "Para matulog. Pagod ka na rin naman at ako. Hindi ko naman sinasabing may kailangan tayong gawin like.... you know? Matutulog lang tayo."
"I don't think that's possible."
"H-Ha?"
"The taste of you already tortured me because I was waiting for this day. I don't think it's possible for us to be near a bed without me having more than just a taste."
Napalunok ako sa sinabi niya. Sandaling tumingin ako sa bisita namin na nagkakasiyahan bago ko ibinalik sa kaniya ang atensyon ko. Umangat ang kamay ko at pinatong ko iyon sa dibdib niya at pagkatapos ay bumulong ako sa tapat ng tenga niya.
"Can we stay here then? So we can get to that like... quickly?"
Nilapit niya ang mukha niya sa akin at binigyan niya ako ng magaan na halik. It was just a peck and when he pulled away his eyes are dancing with amusement.
"I can wait for a little while," he said instead of answering my question.
Pinaningkitan ko siya ng mga mata at may sasabihin pa sana ako pero naagaw ang atensyon ko ni Jia na lumapit sa amin. She leaned down to me and whispered something in my ear. Nakangiting tumango ako bago ko binalingan si Stone.
We danced all night for what seem like forever and he even danced with his mom but there's one dance left na hindi pa namin nagagawa. O mas tamang sabihin na hindi ko pa nagagawa.
"I'll be back," I told him.
I leaned down and I gave him a kiss on the cheek but before I can move away I felt his hand at the back of my head, stopping me from moving so that he could place a kiss on my lips. It was my turn to smile with his lips on mine and with the low rumble on his chest, I know that he like it just the way I do when he does that.
Hindi nawala ang ngiti sa mga labi ko nang lumayo na ako sa kaniya para tumayo. Jia gave me a microphone and I turned to my guests that are now have their eyes on me.
"Aagawin ko muna ang atensyon ng mga naglalaro ng Uno cards diyan, Uno stack, at sa mga nag bi-bingo riyan."
Nagtawanan ang mga bisita dahil iyon nga ang ginagawa nila. I asked Jia to not do a tight wedding itinerary because I just really want to enjoy the day with my family. Except the traditional ones, we didn't really followed the usual wedding parties. We don't have speeches or toasts. We just eat, we cut the cake, we danced, then we eat again.
Everything is just casual which is perfect kasi parang nakakatawa naman na pormal na pormal ang gagawin namin samantalang mga naka-pajama na sila. Para ngang naging slumber party ang theme ng reception which I don't mind because they look cute. Most of the men kept their clothes that they used for the wedding. Lalo na at nakaiwas naman iyong iba sa ulan kanina. Iyon nga lang, no choice iyong mga naglaro pa sa ulan. Some of the agents who I know brought extra clothes with them decided to just wear their pajamas too just to join the fun.
Ang tanging naka formal suit pa rin na nakikita ko ay ang ama ko, si Tito Craige, si Tito Rain, Tito Cloak, Tito Reese, si Blaze, at ang asawa ko. The others were probably forced by their wives, that thankfully chose to bring an appropriate jammies because I haven't seen anyone wearing lingerie, to wear their sleep clothes too. Even Paris James Roqas is in his own sleepwear. He's the grandfather of the triplets; Thunder, Freezale, and Snow.
"I just want to share a memory that I suddenly remember when I was choosing a song for this moment." Pinigilan kong mapatawa nang makita kong napadiretso ng upo ang ama ko. "Yes, Pa. Hindi ka pa ligtas dahil hindi ko pa nakakalimutan ang father and daughter dance. Hinuli lang talaga namin."
Tumawa ang mga bisita at nagpatuloy ako. "Anyways, going back to the story... we all know that right now we're surrounded by amazing people. Mga tao na handang ibigay ang buhay nila para sa trabaho na sinumpaan nila. My mother is one of those. Her work is not an eight to five job. Sometimes she needed to be away for weeks and sometimes even a month. Hindi naman mahirap para sa amin na maintindihan iyon. Minsan hindi siya nakakaabot sa birthday namin or ni Papa, minsan hindi siya nakaka-attend sa mga pagkakataon na kailangan namin siya sa school. But her job never became an issue because we were happy and we're proud of her. Hindi niyo rin maririnig si Papa na nagrereklamo. My father is not like most of us that are in this line of work. He's also handling his own empire. But usually siya iyong uma-attend ng PTA meetings, minsan siya iyong pumupunta sa "bring a parent day" kung saan halos lahat puro nanay ang dinadala ng mga kaklase namin ni Eris, and he also learned how to fix our hair and make cute lunch boxes for us."
Nakita kong nangingiting tinusok ni Mama ang tagiliran ni Papa na niyakap lang siya at naiiling na nanatiling nakatingin sa akin at nakikinig.
"My father's daily job doesn't include what we usually face but he's also his own Superman. Specially when he comes home from a trip and he forgot their wedding anniversary. Kailangan mo talagang maging Superman kung gusto mong makaligtas sa galit ni Mama." I pause for a moment when my audience laughed again. "Some might think that things like that shouldn't be an issue. Kasi si Mama mas madalas niyang mamiss iyong mga important events sa buhay namin. But my mom will always remember a birthday, an anniversary, and I think she got our school calendar even memorized. She might not be at home but she will not let the day pass by without making sure that we know that she remembers. Kahit nasaang lugar siya at kahit malaki ang time difference, babatiin pa rin niya kami sa mismong araw na iyon. Hindi naman niya kailangan ng candlelight dinner or party kapag sarili niyang birthday. A simple greeting is enough for her. She just want someone to remember a day that for her should always be important."
My mother's eyes met mine and I know na alam niya kung ano ang partikular na pagkakataon ang gusto kong ikuwento ngayon.
"One day, she decided to surprise my father. Ang sabi niya hindi siya makakauwi pa. She was away for almost a week for work. Iyong araw na sinabi niyang hindi siya makakauwi ay siyang araw kung kailan anniversary nila. My father at that time was busy with work so he decided to come home late. When he got home, he was surprised that my mom was already waiting for him. Now guys, when your wife came home as a surprise when she shouldn't be at home yet, dapat ang una niyong gawin ay ang isipin kung may okasyon ba kayong nakakalimutan. Your first word shouldn't be "bakit nandito ka na?" kasi it could be a sign that you're really forgetting something. The second word shouldn't also be "what's with the cake?" because things will surely escalate." Nilingon ko si Stone at nakangiting itinaas niya ang mga kamay niya. "I'm just saying, you better mark this day on your calendar, honey."
"Duly noted," he said.
I turned back to the audience again. "It was the only fight they had that we saw. If ever they have a misunderstanding they never let us see it. But that night akala nila tulog na kami ni Eris pero hindi pa talaga. We heard the fight and we were at the stairs watching them and we're crying because we thought they will break up. My mother actually ended up crying too. Pinagsama na iyong wala pa siyang tulog at pagod na alam kong naiintindihan ni Papa. He just looked at her calmly, he took out his phone, and then he played a song. At the next moment they were dancing and my mother is smiling again. Tinawag din kami ni Papa kasi napansin niya na pala kami ni Eris. Papa don't need a special ability to understand my mother well and he doesn't need a superhuman strength to make his three girls happy again. He could do that just by being the great father and husband that he is."
This time, my mother is no longer teasing my father because she's flat out crying. Inangat ko ang kamay ko sa direksyon ni Papa nang pumainlang sa paligid ang pamilyar na kanta ng The Beatles na I Will na hindi ko makakalimutan kahit isang beses lang naman iyong pinatugtog sa bahay.
Nakita kong itinulak ni Mama patayo si Papa habang si Eris naman ay hinila siya. I saw my father gave out a sigh before he walked towards me.
"Akala ko ligtas na ko," sabi niya.
"Pwede ba naman 'yon, Pa? Eh ako ang unang anak mo na ikinasal." Inginuso ko ang kinaroroonan ni Eris. "Pero baka next year lang malay mo naman po. She's my maid of honor anyway."
"Huwag mo na ipaalala."
Hinila niya ako palapit sa kaniya habang natatawa ako dahil sa naging sagot niya. Hindi pa nga siya nakakamove-on na kasal na talaga ako. Even if I was already married before, I know that they can see the difference. The first marriage was what brought Stone and I together on the same course, this second marriage is us making a decision to stay together on that path. And this time too, we're bring our families closer.
Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to, I will
Napangiti ako nang iikot ako ni Papa. He playfully swayed us left and right and he even dip me as if we're a professional dancer earning a laugh from our audience.
For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same
"We never wanted for you or Eris to see us fight," he said after awhile.
"It didn't make us think any less of you or Mama. I wanted that kind of relationship for me too. Iyong taong kahit na minsan tinotopak lang ako pero imbis na patulan ako iintindihin na lang ako. Someone with the patience like you have and the love that you've always given us." Tinignan ko ang direksyon ni Stone at nakita kong pinapanood niya kami. "During our first big fight, he said we don't need the drama. You never said that to Mama. Not even once."
"That's final. I'm taking you away."
Natatawang umiling ako. "That's not what I meant. What I'm saying is, Stone is a different person. He regretted it and I know he will always be reminded of that day. But he can take care of me, Pa. He really loves me because he never gave up on me. Even at that time that I thought he did. What I'm saying though is he's not you. No one can be you. Kahit makahanap pa kami ni Eris kung saan nakikita ka namin sa taong pinili namin na mahalin, it's not possible to find the exact you in anyone else because there can be no another man that could love us more than you do." I looked at him straight into his eyes. "Stone will take care of me so you don't need to worry anymore, Pa. He loves me in a way that I know that because he do, he will give his all for me to have what I need and that is to give the home that we will make the kind of love that I grew up with because of you."
I felt his arms tightened around me and then he kissed the top of my head. Papa is not one to have so many words but when it comes to making us feel the love that he has for us, he could give so much in a minute.
I step away from his hug and I nodded my head towards Eris who instantly understand what I meant. Nakita kong itinayo niya si Mama na kanina pa umiiyak pero ngayon ay nagtatakang nakatingin sa kaniya. Nang maintindihan ni mama ang gusto ni Eris ay sunod-sunod na umiling siya pero wala na siyang nagawa.
"This is the father and daughter dance, Eris."
"But this is our dance too, Ma," I told her.
I took her hand and I pulled her towards my father who's already waiting for her. Ipinaloob siya ni Papa sa mga bisig niya habang ako naman ay binalingan ko si Eris na maglalakad na sana paalis.
"Saan ka pupunta?" tanong ko.
"But-"
"Kailangan apat tayo. It's not the same without you."
Nangilid ang luha sa mga mata niya pero hinila ko na siya palapit sa amin.
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart
Inikot ni Papa si Mama at pagkatapos ay sinunod niya ako. Just like always, I'm the one who twirled Eris around and at the end of it, I let her go and our mother catch her to hug her close.
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
You know I will
I will
My father wrapped his arms around all us; me on his left, Mama on the right, while Eris is on the front being snuggled by all of us. With that... all is well with the Wright girls again. Just like it will always be because no matter what happen, we three will always be Papa's girls.
When the song finally ended, lahat kami ay luhaan na maliban kay Papa na napapabuntong-hininga na lang na lalong hinigpitan ang pagkakayakap sa amin.
We stayed like that for a moment but of course we needed to let go. Si Papa ang unang humiwalay pero nananatiling nakayakap siya kay Mama. He also pulled Eris to his arms then he inclined his head to the side where I saw my husband walking his way towards us.
My family walked away and the person that I will be making a family with starting today stopped in front of me. He's holding my bouquet and he gave it to me. Nagtatakang tinignan ko siya dahilan para umangat ang sulok ng labi niya.
"Can I take you away now, wife?" he asked.
"I thought you'll never ask."
Pinalibot niya ang isa niyang braso sa bewang ko at akala ko ay isasayaw niya ako. Pero imbis na iyon ang gawin ay bahagya siyang yumuko habang ang kamay niya ay pumailalim sa suot ko na mahabang bestida. My eyes widened in surprise when I felt his hand glided up. He reached for the garter and at the next moment he managed to pull it off me.
"You have a talent with that," I murmured absentmindedly.
"Hmm?"
Nag-init ang magkabila kong pisngi. "With taking things off."
"I don't think I'm a professional yet so we better practice later."
Pakiramdam ko ay nag-aapoy na ang mukha ko pero inignora ko 'yon at tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "Sinisira mo ang plano ni Jia."
"Sa tingin ko naiintindihan na ng wedding planner mo na hindi normal na kasal ang pinuntahan niya."
Itinuro niya ang kinaroroonan ni Jia at napangiti ako nang makita kong nasa table siya nila Athena at kasalukuyan na siyang nakiki-uno cards sa mga iyon.
"Parang seryoso sila sa laro nila ah," sabi ko.
"Ang matalo sa bingo, uno cards, at uno stack ang mag-aalaga sa mga anak nila ngayong gabi habang ang iba ay magpaparty pa."
Pinaikot ko ang mga mata ko. Give it to the agents na makagawa ng paraan para makapagpustahan. Hindi na ako magtataka na ang Tita Autumn ni Stone ang may pakana no'n. Halos wala na ang iba nilang kasama sa table at malamang nagbabantay na sa mga chikiting dahil natalo niya na. Bihira naman matalo sa pustahan kasi si Tita Autumn. Reyna ng pustahan iyan eh.
"So... how are we going to do this?" I asked.
"I don't know. How about we just throw it together?"
"Na hindi sinasabi sa kanila?"
Nagkibit-balikat siya. "Let's fate decide for itself."
Tumatango-tango na itinaas ko ang kamay ko na may hawak na bouquet at ganoon din ang ginawa niya sa garter na hawak niya. Nanatiling nasa isa't isa ang mga mata na basta na lang namin inihagis ang mga hawak namin nang malakas at nang makakawala iyon sa mga kamay namin ay mabilis naming sinundan iyon ng tingin.
Nashoot ang garter na binato ni Stone sa hawak ni Eris na block ng Uno stack na kanina ay mukhang winawagayway niya sa ere dahil ngayon ay para bang nastatwa siya habang nakatingin sa nakaangat niyang kamay. My bouquet though hit Blaze right on the face and he instinctively caught it before it fell to the floor.
Nanlalaki ang mga mata na napatingin ako kay Stone na sunod-sunod na napakurap na bumaling din sa akin.
"Uy! Pareng Blaze mukhang ikaw na ang susunod na bride! Congrats! Ako ang flower girl ha?" kantiyaw ni Ocean.
I face planted on Stone's chest when laughter engulfed my entire body. I felt his own body shaking with laughter as he pulled me tight in his arms.
"Let's get out of here, honey, before we witness my brother murder Ocean."
SUMIKSIK lang ako sa pinanggagalingan ng init na nakabalot sa akin nang maramdaman ko na may mahinang tumatapik sa akin para gisingin ako. Naramdaman ko ang mga labi na dumampi sa noo ko pero nanatili pa rin ako na nakapikit.
"Honey, you need to wake up."
Umungol lang ako bilang sagot at narinig ko ang mahina niyang pagtawa. I'm really tired and I feel so comfortable in my position.
"Kami na lang ang magbababa ng gamit, Sir."
"Salamat. Baka mabitawan ko kasi si Misis. Pag nagalit pa naman 'to mas nakakatakot kesa sa pating."
Pilit na idinilat ko ang mga mata ko at nakita kong nangingiting hinapit ako ni Stone palapit sa kaniya para mas mapadali ang pagkarga niya sa akin.
"I can walk," namamaos ang boses sa antok na sabi ko. "Pating ka diyan."
Inalalayan ako ni Stone na makatayo at nauna na siyang bumaba ng bangka. He reached for my hand when I walked down the step of the boat's ladder. Akala ko ay aalalayan niya lang ako pero sa pagkagulat ko ay bigla na lang niya akong binuhat.
"Stone!"
"It's the groom's job to carry the bride over the threshold."
Nilingon ko ang paligid namin. I have a feeling when we went into a dock hours ago that our destination would be here. I think it's perfect. No place means everything more to us than this paradise. Unless of course if it's our cliff we're talking about. Hindi naman komportable mag honeymoon doon.
We can keep that place innocent.
For now.
"Paano ang mga gamit natin?" Tinignan ko ang mga bagahe. "Nakita kong ang daming nilagay na chocolates at kung anu-ano ni Eris diyan. I was wondering what they are for but now I think they're for Rina and the others. Mamaya tangayin iyan ng tubig at maging pulutan pa ng pating."
"Relio will get it."
Narinig ko ang tunog nang papaalis na bangka habang sa harapan naman namin ay nakita ko nga ang isa sa mga Wingka na si Relio na ngayon ay naglalakad palapit sa amin.
"Sinag, sabi na nga ba at kayo ang natanaw ko. Sinabihan na kami ni Apo na dadating nga raw kayo isa sa mga araw na ito."
Nagkatinginan kami ni Stone. May mga bagay na nalalaman si Apo na hindi ko alam kung magagawa ba namin na maintindihan kahit kailan. But if anyone would ask me, I don't need to know how she does it for me to trust her. Dahil kung may isa akong ipinagpapasalamat sa lugar na ito ay iyon ay ang muli kong mahanap ang daan pabalik kay Stone.
"Ako ng bahala sa gamit niyo at isusunod ko. Tumuloy na lang kayo roon sa dating bahay na tinuluyan niyo at napalinis na iyon. Tulog pa kasi ang ibang mga Wingka kaya magpahinga na lang din muna kayo at siguradong ang layo pa ng pinanggalingan niyo."
"Salamat, Relio. Puntahan ko na lang kayo mamaya. Magpapahinga muna kami nitong asawa ko at napagod siya sa mga kaganapan kahapon."
Kumislap ang mga mata ng lalaki. "Di kaya'y natuloy na ang plano mo na magpakasal ulit?"
Simpleng tumango lang si Stone pero kita sa kaniya ang lubos na kasiyahan. Sandaling nag-usap pa sila hanggang sa tuluyang nagpaalaman na. Kinawayan ko na lang si Relio na ibinalik naman iyon sa akin.
Dumiretso si Stone sa daan papasok sa isla. Mukhang tulog pa nga ang mga tao at kung may gising man baka nasa mga bahay pa nila. Sumisilip pa lang ng kaunti ang liwanag sa langit kaya hindi na iyon nakakapagtaka.
"How long are we going to stay here?" I asked.
"A month if you like but we could go home early if that's what you want."
Ikinawit ko ang mga braso ko sa balikat niya. "We could stay longer."
"You want that?"
"I love this place and I love how they accept us like we're one of them. Isa pa I want to rub it to Aya kung gaano na tayo ka-close ngayon."
Naiiling na nagpatuloy siya sa paglalakad. Nakangiting sumandal lang ako sa dibdib niya at hinayaan ko na lang siya na kargahin ako kahit pa nga may kalayuan din ang tinatahak namin na daan.
Nang makarating kami sa bahay na dati naming ginamit sa lugar na ito ay imbis na ibaba ako ni Stone ay tuloy-tuloy lang siyang pumasok sa bahay. Mukha ngang pinalinis iyon at may mga damit pa na nakatupi sa isang panig ng lugar na parang inihanda talaga para sa amin. Pati ang comforter ko na iniwan na namin noon ay maayos na nakalatag sa banig. Ang pagkakaiba nga lang ay hindi magkahiwalay ang dalawang banig dahil pinagtabi nila iyon.
Napaangat ang mukha ko kay Stone nang maramdaman ko ang marahan niyang paghalik sa ibabaw ng ulo ko.
"I'll be back, honey."
Tumalikod siya at lumabas ng bahay. Nilibot ko ang paningin sa lugar. Tumayo ako at nilapitan ko ang mga damit na nakatupi. Napaangat ang sulok ng labi ko nang makita ko ang manipis na panligo na bestida.
A light bulb pop into my head and before I change my mind, I hurriedly took off my clothes without leaving anything and then I slid the dress on. Dahil sa nipis no'n ay parang halos wala na rin akong tinakpan.
Inayos ko ang mga hinubad ko na damit sa isang tabi bago ako umupo sa gitna ng bahay kung saan naroon ang banig. Isinandal ko ang siko ko sa tuhod ko at nangalumbaba ako habang hinihintay ko na muling pumasok si Stone.
It took him a few minutes and when the door opened again, I saw him lugging two suitcases inside. Nakatutok doon ang mga mata niya kaya hindi niya ako kaagad nakita.
"Ano bang nilagay ni Eris dito? Buong bahay niyo?"
"Probably," I said with a laugh. "Can you open mine please and pass me the paper bag inside?"
Walang tanong na inusog niya ang mga iyon sa isang gilid at binuksan niya ang bagahe ko. He took out the paper bag and I saw him look at what's inside. "Bakit mo kailangan-"
Natigil ang sasabihin niya nang mapatingin siya sa akin at makita ang ayos ko. Ibinaba ko ang mga tuhod ko dahilan para magawa niyang makita ang kabuuan ko na halos hindi na natakpan sa suot ko na damit.
When he didn't moved, I reach to his direction so that I could take the paper bag from him. Mula doon ay nilabas ko ang pulang sapatos na minsan ko ng ginamit nang pumunta ako sa opisina niya.
"Christmas is a few weeks away pero dahil special ang araw na ito naisipan ko na ibinigay na sa iyo ng maaga ang regalo na gusto mo."
My face is on fire but I ignored it. Sinuot ko ang sapatos na parte ng unang hiling niya. Bagay na tandang-tanda ko pa.
The moment that I manage to slid both the high heeled shoes on, I found myself lying on my back while Stone is on top of me, his eyes hooded with an unmistakable desire. I swallowed nervously as I watch him stare at me hard. Umangat ang isa niyang kamay at marahang pinalis niya ang hibla ng mga buhok ko na tumabing sa mukha ko.
"Worth the wait," he whispered.
My eyes clouded with his words and I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out when he leaned down to claim it.
I thought I already felt every ways that Stone could kiss. I thought I know what it's like to drown in him but now I know that I might be as well swimming in a shallow pool with what he's giving me now. His lips are moving slow but I could feel the intensity building and building as if each second that pass is fueling the fire that is already burning around us.
He explored my mouth that are sending tremors all around me, each of their direction are creating pathways of heat. Naramdaman kong bumaba ang kamay niya at humantong iyon sa hita ko. Dahan-dahan na umakyat ang kamay niya hanggang sa pumaloob iyon sa ilalim ng bestida ko. Napatigil ang kamay niya at sandaling humiwalay ang mga labi niya sa akin. Nang magtama ang mga mata namin ay kita ko kung paanong tumindi ang apoy na nagbabaga sa mga mata niya.
With his eyes on me, his hand snaked up between the center of my legs, finding the most sensitive part of me. My lips parted as I gasp for air. He watched me beneath him, writhing as his fingers played around my center.
"Stone... I... I want you,"
"I want to watch you first," he whispered, his voice ragged.
I don't think my body is strong enough to delay what he's asking me for. It wasn't long when a ripple run through my entirety, hitting me so intensely that my body buck from the floor, arching as my hips thrust forward to meet his exploring fingers.
Bumaba ang ulo niya sa akin at kinintalan niya ng halik ang mga labi ko. I tried to catch his lips but he teasingly pulled back. Marahan niyang inalis ang suot ko na damit at basta na lang iyong iniitsa kung saan. Naglakbay ang mga mata niya sa katawan ko at kita ko kung paanong mas tumindi ang paghahangad sa mga mata niya.
"Mine," bulong niya ng bumaba ang ulo niya sa leeg ko.
Napapapikit na kumapit ako sa kaniya, ang isa kong kamay ay nasa balikat niya habang ang isa ay nasa ulo niya. "Yours."
He nip the sensitive skin on my neck lightly, not enough to hurt me but enough for me to feel the delicious bite that are sending my entire system on going into a haywire. Bumaba ang halik niya hanggang sa marating niya ang pagitan ng mga dibdib ko. Malakas na ungol ang umalpas sa mga labi ko nang maramdaman kong ipaloob niya sa mainit niyang bibig ang isa sa tuktok ng mga iyon.
He rolled my peak at the pad of his tongue, circling at it until I can feel it hardened inside his mouth. His fingers that are still between my legs moved again and a cry came out of my parted lips when he sink a finger inside, up to his knuckle.
Halos bumaon ang mga kuko ko sa likod niya habang iginagalaw ko ang katawan kasabay ng sa kaniya. It feels like my whole body is burning and nothing can extinguish the fire except his touch.
"Stone... honey please..."
I know he understand what I want when he moved to pull his hand away from me. I whimpered at the lost of his touch but I know I'll have it back when he pulled his shirt off. Mabilis na inilapat ko ang kamay ko sa malapad niyang dibdib habang ang mga kamay niya ay dumako sa pang ibaba niya para alisin iyon.
My eyes dropped to his body and despite the haze that I'm in, I took a moment to absorb what is in front of me. His ripped and I can see his muscles tensing beneath my palm... the ink of the cliff on his chest is clearly visible to me, but most of all the hardness of his length couldn't be described by any word except beautiful.
A rumble came from his chest when I reached for his shaft and I wrapped my hand around it. Umangat ang isa niyang kamay at inilagay niya iyon sa ilalim ng baba ko para maiangat niya ang ulo ko at salabungin ako ng halik.
Ikinawit ko ang binti ko sa bewang niya nang maramdaman kong pumusisyon siya sa gitna ko. I felt the head of his thick manhood rubbing my throbbing center. Stone pulled away from the kiss and our eyes met, mine mirroring the need in his.
He didn't take his eyes off me when he finally move to slid slowly inside me. I felt a dull ache between my legs as the pressure from his thickness intensifies. Hindi niya binigla ang galaw niya. He gave it me inch per inch until I'm brimming full of him.
Hindi muna siya gumalaw sa ibabaw ko at sa halip ay pinaulanan niya ng maliliit na halik ang gilid ng mukha ko pababa sa leeg ko. His lips went to my ear and I felt the wet of his tongue on it. "Are you okay, honey?"
"Better than okay," I whispered.
His muscles tensed below my palm when I push myself up a little, bringing him inside me more than he already is. Rinig ko ang paglalim ng hininga niya na para bang pinipigilan niya ang sarili niya na gumalaw.
"Please... I need you to move," I said right at his ear when I try to pull myself up again.
Another rumble echoed from his chest and he put his two hands on my sides as if trying not to squish me. Kumapit ako sa mga balikat niya at umalpas ang ungol mula sa mga labi ko nang maramdaman kong marahan siyang umindayog sa ibabaw ko.
There was pain laced in the pleasure but it wasn't long that it started to disappear until I have nothing but electricity and heat flowing through me.
Muling sinakop ni Stone ang mga labi ko habang patuloy siya sa paggalaw. I meet his every thrust, my arms tightening around him as I arch my body in his direction. Nagsimulang bumilis ang pagkilos niya at naramdaman ko ang isa niyang kamay na inangat ang isa ko pang binti upang ikawit sa kaniya.
I cried out his name as my fingers scored his back while the heels of my shoes are digging at his skin too.
"Fuck," he groaned.
"More... please..."
I can hear the sound of flesh hitting flesh, our heavy breathing, and the echoes of pleasure coming from our lips. It was too much and it wasn't a surprise when I clenched around him and found my second release.
Naramdaman kong hinila niya ako dahilan para mapaupo ako sa kandungan niya. Nananatiling magkakonekta ang mga katawan namin na humiga siya habang ako naman ang nasa ibabaw niya. His strong hands went to my hips and he pulled me up only to let me fall down on his hard manhood.
I throw my head, my hair touching the small of my back. My legs are shivering from the sensation running through me but it only piled up higher and higher with each glide of his shaft inside me. Nang magbaba ako ng tingin ay nakita kong pinapanood ako ni Stone. His eyes are spitting fire as he watched me take his length inside me, my breasts moving with each pound, my hips grinding down every time our body meets.
"So beautiful," he rasped out.
"I'm.... I'm coming again."
"Let go, honey."
"I-I can't.... too much..."
Umalingawngaw sa paligid ang sigaw ko nang humigpit ang pagkakahawak ni Stone sa magkabila kong bewang at sinalubong niya ang bawat pagbaba ng katawan ko. It was hard, it was rough, it was everything.
I can see that it's taking every bit of his control not to join me when my body trembled again with an orgasm that seems impossible for me to have what with him giving it to me twice already. Marahan niya akong inalis sa ibabaw niya habang ang mga labi niya ay dumadampi sa balikat ko. I felt him stir me into a position with him behind me but his lips didn't stop.
At the same time that I felt his lips at my spine, his hands went around to reach for my center to flick the sensitive nub between my legs.
I can hear his breath quickening when the emptiness inside my core was suddenly filled again by his rock hard manhood. Sa pagkakataon na ito ay naging mabagal ulit ang pagkilos niya. So painfully slow and yet the fire around us burn greater than before.
His fingers dug at the cheeks of my behind, holding on to it as he plunge his thickness inside me over and over again. I gasped loudly when his lips went to my shoulder only at the next to feel his teeth sunk at my skin.
Napadiretso ako dahilan para tumama ang likod ko sa matigas niyang dibdib. Our body stayed connected and he wrapped his arms around me, his right arms on my waist while the other is crossed on my chest. He bounced me lightly at his lap, my hips swaying to take him more and more.
"Honey, look at me," he whispered.
I turned my head to his direction and he dipped his head down so that he could take my lips. He plunge his tongue inside me, clashing it with my own as our bodies danced to the melody of flame licking our skin and enveloping us into a ball of inferno.
Humigpit ang pagkakayakap niya sa akin kasabay nang paglalim ng hininga niya. His thrust went faster and harder until with one last push, entering me up to the hilt, keeping himself there as he filled me with his hot seed, his own release pushing me into my own which I didn't think my body has the ability to conjure until right at this moment that I'm falling apart with him.
Tanging ang paghabol namin ng aming mga hininga ang maririnig sa paligid at ang malakas na tibok ng mga puso namin. Nanghihinang napasandal ako sa kaniya at kaagad niya naman akong sinalo. Maingat na inihiga niya ako habang siya ay nasa likod ko pa rin at nakayakap sa akin.
"How is that possible?" I murmured breathlessly.
He chuckled right at my ear, his breath hitting me. "I don't know but I wasn't surprise."
Humarap ako sa kaniya at nagniningning ang mga mata na inipit niya ang buhok ko sa likod ng tenga ko.
"You're not?" I asked.
He gently brushed his thumb on my lower lip. "I know everything with you would be wonderful. That's why I wasn't surprise."
Nangingiting isinandal ko ang ulo ko sa braso niya. Hinapit niya ako palapit sa kaniya dahilan para makulong ako sa mga bisig niya.
"Sinulit mo talaga ang Christmas gift mo," natatawang sabi ko sa kaniya. "Ano na lang ang ireregalo ko sa'yo sa Pasko?"
I bit down on my lower lip when I felt him grind his lower body to mine.
"I could think of a lot of things, honey."
I think I just activated Stone's inner insatiable monster... and there's no way I'm complaining.
"Sayang walang Jollibee dito," sabi ko pagkaraan. Marami pa namang pagkakataon pag-uwi namin.
He chuckled at that but he didn't say anything more. He just hugged me tight while I use his chest as a pillow.
"Honey?"
"Hmm?"
Naglakbay ang mga mata niya sa mukha ko pero pagkalipas ng ilang sandali ay nananatili lang siyang nakatingin sa akin at hindi sinasagot ang tanong ko.
"Stone?"
"Nothing. Sometimes I just still can't believe that you're mine."
Inangat ko ang kamay ko at marahang idinampi ko iyon sa pisngi niya. "Believe it because I'm not going anywhere. Not without you."
Kumislap ang mga mata niya at nagbaba siya ng ulo para dampian ng halik ang noo ko pababa sa tuktok ng ilong ko hanggang sa maabot niya ang mga labi ko. When he pulled away a little to whisper to me... the word he uttered is so perfect that nothing needed to be said anymore.
"Home."
