AIERE'S POV
Napapitlag ako sa lakas ng galabog na nilikha nang pagkabasag ng baso na kanina ay hawak ni Thunder. Walang kahit na sino ang umimik sa amin pero palihim kaming nagkakatinginan ng mga agent na ngayon ay nandito sa conference room. Maging si Dawn na normally ay may sinasabi sa ganitong pagkakataon ay nananatiling nakatuon ang mga mata sa panig ng kwarto kung saan nandoon ang Royalty members.
The leader of the band, Lucas Darryl King looks like he wants to break something too. Pero imbis na gawin 'yon ay nanatiling nakahawak ang kamay niya sa asawa niyang si Freezale habang tiim ang bagang na nakatingin kay Archer na tahimik lang na nasa tabi ko.
"What were you thinking, Arch?" Thunder asked, his voice laced with the anger in his eyes.
Nag-angat ng tingin sa kaniya ang binata at saglit na hindi nagsalita. Pagkaraan ay bumuntong-hininga siya at sinuklay ang kamay niya sa sariling buhok. "It was nothing."
Bakas ang hindi pagkapaniwala sa mukha ni Thunder sa sinabi ni Archer. "Nothing?"
"K-Kuya? Hindi ba nagkataon lang?" Galing ang tanong na iyon kay Harmony na kita ang takot sa mukha. "He must be after kuya Archer's money. May sinabi na ba 'yung lalaki?"
"Sa dami ng tao sa lugar na 'yon si Archer ang nanakawan niya? And let's say that's possible. Pa'no ipapaliwanag ang sunog sa penthouse ni Archer no'ng nakaraan lang?"
Hindi magawang makasagot ng babae sa binato sa kaniya ni Thunder na tanong. Dahil alam kong walang tao sa loob ng kwartong ito ang mapapaniwala na coincidence lang lahat. We're all living in a world that coincidence almost don't happen.
My eyes landed on Dawn and I saw her looking at me. Kami pa lang ang nakakaalam ng totoo. At alam ko na hindi namin pwedeng itago ang bagay na 'to ng matagal. The only reason that we kept this a secret is because we don't have that much information before. Pero ngayon ay sigurado na kami na hindi lang basta pagbabanta ang nangyayari. Someone really wants to harm Archer.
Tinitigan ko ang babae at bahagya akong tumango. Palihim na tinuro ko ang sarili ko at umiling. Alam kong kahit hindi ako magsalita ay naiintindihan niya ang gusto kong sabihin.
"Archer, I think it's time that you tell everyone what's happening." Dawn murmured but enough to be heard by everyone.
"Alam mo ang tungkol dito?" tanong ni Thunder.
"Hindi ko rin alam kung anong nangyayari. I just know enough." Nang makita ni Dawn na hindi kuntento ang lalaki sa sinabi niya ay nagpatuloy siya. "When we decided to tighten the security, one of the things I focused on is making sure that whatever comes inside the place will be given a proper background check. Kasama ro'n ang band members. When we started searching, we found out that Archer's been receiving threats. And to be honest, hindi naman ito ang unang beses na nangyari ito sa kahit na sino. Even Triton received some when he was still in the industry."
Ang tinutukoy niya ay noong mga panahon na nagtatrabaho pa bilang artista si Triton. Hindi rin naman na nakakapagtaka na makatanggap ang mga tao sa BHO CAMP ng mga ganitong klaseng pananakot dahil na rin sa ilan sa kanila ang kilala sa publiko.
"Hermes and Den have more than the others since they are both working for news. It's all just threats and no one really tried to carry on with them. But we all know that we can't be too sure. Kaya lahat ay binabantayan namin. We filtered all the mails but I'm pretty sure that before we found out about this that Archer already saw some of the letters. Am I right?"
Hindi sumagot ang binata pero kahit iyon ay sapat na bilang sagot sa katanungan ni Dawn. Kita ang pagtataka sa mukha ng mga agent. Dahil naiintindihan ko kung ano ang gumugulo sa isip nila. Katulad ng siyang nagpapalito sa akin.
Alam ni Archer kung ano ang trabaho naming lahat. Alam niya na kaya namin siyang tulungan para masiguradong hindi siya mapapahamak. Pero bakit hindi niya magawang sabihin sa amin ang mga nangyayari sa kaniya?
"What were you thinking?" ulit ni Thunder sa kanina ay tanong niya sa lalaki. "Wala bang nadala sa atin sa nangyari kay Comet? Why are you risking your safety, wasting your life, when you know we could help you?"
"They're just letters, Thunder." Archer said in a whisper.
"And today we proved that it's not just that." he hissed in return. "Kung wala kang pakielam sa kapakanan mo, then be kind enough to inform all of us. Para hindi na kami magulat lahat kapag biglang ikaw na ang susunod na ililibing namin."
"Kuya..." pag-awat ko sa kaniya. Akmang bubuka ang bibig ko para dugtungan ang sinabi ko nang maramdaman ko ang kamay ni Archer na hinawakan ang akin sa ilalim ng lamesa at marahang pinisil 'yon.
Itinikom ko ang bibig ko pero binigyan ko ng masamang tingin si Thunder na hindi man lang natinag. Naiintindihan ko siya. Kahit ako ay hindi maintindihan si Archer. Pero kung may isa akong nasisiguro iyon ay may dahilan siya kung bakit siya nagkakaganito.
"We all gone through so much already. If you care even a bit for all of us and the woman standing beside you then cooperate." he said in a quiet voice as if he's losing strength. "Don't waste your life by being stupid."
Pagkasabi niyon ay tumayo siya at lumabas ng conference room. Namataan ko si Hera na sinusundan siya ng tingin ngunit nanatili siya sa kinauupuan niya at nagbaba na lang ng tingin.
Muling binalot ng katahimikan ang kwarto habang tila nag-iintayan ang bawat isa sa amin sa susunod na sasabihin. Tumingin ako kay Dawn at nakita kong nasa akin pa rin ang atensyon niya at katulad kanina ay muli ko siyang tinanguhan.
"We want to help you, Archer. Para magawa 'yon kailangan malaman ng lahat ang tungkol sa background mo." sabi ni Dawn.
"With one condition."
Sinalubong ni Dawn ang mga mata ni Archer at hinintay ang hihingin na kundisyon ng binaga. Sa kabila niyon ay pakiramdam ko alam na ni Dawn kung anong sasabihin ng lalaki...at sa hindi ko maipaliwanag na dahilan ay gano'n din ako. Sa pagkakataong ito ay ako na ang pumisil sa kamay ni Archer pero nananatiling kay Dawn ang atensyon niya.
"Carry on." Dawn acknowledged.
"Keep Aiere out of this."
Mariin akong napapikit sa sinabi niya. I was expecting it. Nararamdaman ko na iyon ang hihingin niyang kundisyon. Dahil sa hindi malamang kadahilanan ay tanging naaapektuhan lang siya sa mga nangyayari sa kaniya kapag nadadawit ako.
"Kaya ng kapatid ko ang sarili niya."
Nagbukas ako ng mga mata at nakita ko ang kapatid ko na si Fiere a kunot noo na ngayong nakatingin kay Archer na hindi man lang natinag. "I know. But I want her out of this."
"She trained for this."
"This don't touch her."
"She's an elite-"
"Alam kong kapatid mo siya. Alam ko kung ano ang trabaho niya. But what I'm saying is, I don't care about that." Itinaas niya ang kamay ko na hawak niya at nakita kong nagkatinginan ang ilan na para bang sinasabing nakumpira na kung ano ang iniisip nila sa amin. "What we have, we're still both discovering. I won't tell you anything at wala rin akong itatangi. But you all should know that right now she's the most important person in my life and I want her out of this."
Bahagya kong hinila ang kamay ko para agawin ang atensyon niya at nagtagumpay naman ako. "I want to help."
"You will. You'll help by standing aside."
"Archer-"
"Please, Aiere. Don't make me take more when I can't anymore."
Tumingin ako kay Dawn at nakita ko kung ano ang sagot sa mga mata niya. Parehas naming alam na hindi ko pwedeng basta na lang bitawan ang mission kay Archer. Right at this moment, ako ang pinaka nakakaalam sa mga nangyayari. I've been planning for weeks. Hindi ko 'yon basta maipapasa na lang kung kanino.
"Archer Lucas Chase was fourteen years old when he got kidnapped by an organized group created solely for illegal dealings. Hindi siya nag-iisa. Kasama niya ang nakababata at nag-iisa niyang kapatid. Ashley Chase. Ten years old." pagsisimula ni Dawn at para maagaw ang atensyon mula sa nabubuong tensyon sa pagitan namin ni Archer.
Kita ko ang pagkagulat maging sa mga kabanda ni Archer. Hindi nila alam ang tungkol sa kapatid ni Archer, iyon ang nasisiguro ko.
I looked up at the man beside me and I saw his face darkened when he heard the name. And at that moment, I realized why he's so hell bent on keeping me out of this. He live his life blaming himself for the things that happened. He carried the guilt for years and he don't want me to become another demon that will hunt him when something happen to me.
"The group asked for a huge ransom. Hindi kaagad naibigay 'yon at bilang babala..." Nakita kong natigilan si Dawn. May anak din siya. A girl. Kahit ako ay hindi alam kung paano sasabihin ang mga alam ko. Paano pa sa kaniya? "They tortured Archer and Ashley. Si Archer lang ang nagawang iligtas."
Pagak na tumawa si Archer sa pagkagulat ng lahat. "She's not telling you everything. What actually happened was that my parents took their fucking time before giving the money. Madali lang naman ibigay ang pera dahil hindi naman mahirap ang pamilya namin. I think it would be easy to any parent if their children are in danger."
"Archer..." I whispered.
Nagpatuloy siya at umangat ang gilid ng labi niya para sa isang mapait na ngiti. "My father thought that he could play with the kidnappers. Humihingi ng ransom para sa dalawang bata. My father bargained so he can pay for just one child."
I can feel my heart tugging with pain as if something is trying to pry it out of my chest as I looked at him. Naramdaman kong tumulo ang isang luha mula sa mga mata ko na siyang naging daan para sumunod ang iba pa sa pagbagsak.
Nagbaba ng tingin sa akin ang lalaki at marahang pinahid ang luha ko bago muling nagsalita habang nananatiling nakatingin lang sa akin. "Kill the boy and give me back my daughter."
"Honey..."
He flinched when he heard what I called him. Dozens of emotions run in his eyes as if he's tormented on what he should feel. "
"They did give Ashley back to him. Beautiful Ashley." he speak again, his voice came out in a whisper. His voice slowly losing the facade of strength, came out pained. "My father gave them half of the ransom money so he can get Ashley back. But that's not the deal. So they gave Ashley back. In halves."
Bile rose from my throat and I closed my eyes again. I read it in the files and I know...I know that even reading about it won't compare to what he witnessed.
"I heard her screams and I saw them do it in front of me. They did it to get back to my father knowing what it will cause him. Dahil kung ako ano pang mapapala nila?" Lumingon si Archer kay Dawn. "I asked them to do what my father wanted. I asked them to let her go and take me instead. But it's not a game that they want me to play."
Tumikhim si Dawn na nagbaba ng tingin sa hawak niyang tablet habang pinipilit itago ang emosyon sa mga mata niya. I saw Triton reached for her hand then he speak for her. "Hinanap namin ang organisasyon na kumuha sa'yo. Matagal na silang nabuwag nang magawa silang tibagin ng pulisya. Ilan sa mga miyembro ang namayapa na sa nangyaring paghuli sa kanila. Ilan naman ay sa kulungan na namatay. We searched for the other members that are still alive. Maging mga pamilya nila."
Itinikom ko ang bibig ko dahil ang mga impormasyong tinutukoy niya ay ang ilang mga impormasyon na nagawa kong i-retrieve kasama ni Freezale habang sinasabay ko ang isa ko pang misyon nitong nakaraan.
"We will look for them. Aalamin natin kung bakit nila ginagawa 'to. As of now we just can't see the motive. Hindi lang pamilya niyo ang naging biktima nila kaya nakakapagtakang binabalikan nila kayo. Ikaw. For now the man Aiere captured will stay in the infinity room until we drain him of information." pagpapatuloy ni Triton. "Ngayon pa lang, Archer. Kung may alam ka na na maaaring gumawa pa nito sabihin mo na sa amin para makatulong kami."
"Wala na."
Nag-angat ako ng tingin kay Archer sa tono ng boses niya. Hindi ko alam kung napansin 'yon ng ibang mga agent pero sa bilis ng pagsagot niya at sa paraan niya no'n ay pakiramdam ko hindi siya nagsasabi ng totoo.
Pero bakit siya magsisinungaling? Bakit niya pagtatakpan ang taong gustong manakit sa kaniya? There's no reason for him to do that. If the person threatening him is part of that old organization...why would he hide them from us?
Unless there's someone else.
Someone he's trying to protect.
NAKAUPO ako sa counter ng bathroom ni Archer habang pinapanood ko si Archer na kasalukuyang nagsisipilyo. I'm wearing his shirt that he let me borrow while he put on his own pajama bottoms and a black sando.
Pagkatapos ng conference ay sinundan ko siya nang makita kong paalis siya ng headquarters para pumunta sa villa niya. Sa nangyari rin kasi sa pagitan nila ni Thunder ay obvious na kung bakit hindi siya tutuloy sa flat ng pinsan ko. Since wala akong balak din na maabutan ng kapatid ko na panigurado akong sesermunan ako ay minabuti ko na lang na sundan siya.
I'm too stressed to be stress out by my brother more so I rather be with Archer. Not that he's a lesser stress than my family. He confuses me and frankly he often frustrate me. Ang pagkakaiba lang ay isang misteryo si Archer na gusto kong tuklasin. And most of the time when he's not being difficult, it's actually great to be around him. My family is far from being a mystery to me kaya nga alam ko na kapag hindi ako nakalayo kay kuya ay hindi niya ako titigilan hanggang hindi niya nalalaman ang mga bagay na hindi ko pa kayang sagutin sa ngayon.
"I like this." I told Archer as I gently touched my feet to his pajama bottoms. Hinuli niya ang paa ko at tinapos na ang pagsisipilyo bago bumaling sa akin habang pinupunasan niya ang bibig niya ng towelette na nakasabit sa may gilid niya.
Bahagya ko siyang nginitian at sinaklit ko ang isa kong binti sa kaniya at bahagya siyang hinila palapit sa akin hanggang ipit ko na siya sa pagitan ng mga hita ko. "Today was tough for you."
He shrugged his shoulders. "I had worse."
Muling bumalik sa utak ko ang mga pinag-usapan kanina sa conference room at bahagya kong ipinilig ang ulo ko para iwaksi ang mga iyon. It's all too much for one day. "Hindi mo na natapos panoodin 'yung basketball game."
Tumaas ang isa niyang kilay kasabay ng paghawak niya sa balakang ko at hinila ako para mas lalo akong mapausog sa edge ng counter. "Nanghihinayang ka ba dahil hindi mo napanood maglaro ang ex mo?"
Kumunot ang noo ko. Mateo was a basketball player back in high school and college. "Kasali ba siya?"
"Yup. I messaged my friend to ask about him. Nasa kalaban siyang team." he whispered as he trailed up my neck so he can took hold of a lock of my hair and played it around his fingers. "I'm pretty sure they lost big time."
Bahagya akong napatawa nang marinig ko ang hindi maitagong inis sa boses niya. "Ang sama mo."
"Concern ka sa kaniya?"
"He didn't even cross my mind the moment I saw that man pointing his gun at you."
Parehas kaming natahimik sa sinabi ko na iyon. Parehas kaming nakiramdam...parehong naiintindihan at nararamdaman ang pagbabagong bumabalot sa amin. I could easily say it. I could easily face that change. Pero nandoon ang takot sa akin na isaboses iyon dahil nakikita ko na kinakatakot pa rin niya 'yon. But we're both no fools. We both know that we are changing.
"I'm not good for you."
My heart breaks for him when I heard those words came out of his lips. Nasasaktan ako para sa kaniya dahil gano'n ang tingin niya sa sarili niya. Like he's not good enough to want me...and to have me.
Sa mga relasyon na pinasok ko noon, ako ang laging nakakaramdam ng ganito. Na para bang hindi ako karapat-dapat...na laging may kulang sa akin. With the life I have, it feels like my hands are too tarnished from the things I've done. Violence and blood. Two things that my hands are able to inflict to other people. Pero lagi kong sinasabi sa sarili ko na kailangan. Ginagawa ko ang trabaho ko dahil iyon ang kailangan. We agents...we live with the knowledge that we all have dirtied our hands. We live through it because we know that somewhere in the world, people are sleeping in peace because we accomplished our job.
Iba ang kay Archer. Iba ang sa kaniya dahil hindi niya nakikita ang sarili niya sa paraan na nakikita namin siya. What I don't understand is why he thinks so badly of himself. Kung bakit sinisisi niya ang sarili niya sa mga bagay na hindi niya kasalanan.
"Why?"
"You deserve better."
"I deserve to have what I want." I said in a whisper. Iniangat ko ang isa kong kamay at marahang inilapat ko iyon sa pisngi niya. "I want you."
Those words barely escape my mouth when in front me he finally stripped the hard exterior he always put on himself. Sa harapan ko ay nakita ko ang siya na minsan ko lang nasilayan. Raw. Unconcealed. I can see his demons from his eyes but it didn't came to destroy. It came out to dance with the fire igniting between us.
He slanted his head and took my mouth for a hungry kiss as his hands dug on my hips, holding me firm.
I can feel the hunger in his kisses, the frenzied want to conquer, and I didn't mind one bit. I answered his kisses with the same yearning...same greed to have more. I matched his fire with mine, making it blaze through thousands of flames. It didn't parched what it touches instead it slide through me as if a liquid rod of warmth is soaking a barren land and gifting it with a life it needs.
Bumaba ang halik niya sa leeg ko dahilan para kumawala ang munting ingay mula sa bibig ko na hindi ko nagawang pigilan. My back automatically arched when I felt his tongue dipped and taste the dent of my collarbone. I raised my hands and tangled my fingers through his hair, pulling him closer to me as if we're not close enough.
The next second, I have his mouth again with him emitting a guttural sound...almost a growl. I clash my tongue with his, opening up more to him and giving...giving more.
A cry escaped my lips when I felt his hand on the hem of my shirt then it went up to cup my breast still covered by the undergarment I'm wearing. Sa isang iglap ay dumako ang kamay niya sa bandang likuran ko at nagawa niyang tanggalin ang pagkakakabit no'n. He pulled it and finally touched me with nothing between our skin.
My lips parted with the flare of heat that surged through me as he rolled one peak between his fingertips. "Archer...."
Pinakawalan niya ang labi ko at hinihingal na inilapat niya ang noo niya sa akin. I met his eyes thinking that he's taking a breath...a moment, but I'm wrong because he's not as he continued to pleasure me with his fingers. My body bucked and my legs tightened its grip on his hips when I felt him gently tugged the sensitive bud he's holding.
Naramdaman ko na kumilos ang isa pa niyang kamay at dumako iyon sa sarili kong kamay. Hinawakan niya iyon at dinala niya sa dibdib niya at pinaglandas pababa hanggang sa marating ang tapat ng suot niyang pang-ibaba.
I didn't think twice and I grasp on his rock manhood tight. My hand gliding down and up, repeatedly. Another growl came out of his lips and to my surprise, he pulled my shirt above my head and threw it aside, his hands immediately cupping the swell of my breasts.
"Say it..."
Naguguluhang tinignan ko siya. My eyes clouded with need. "W-What?"
"What you call me. Say it again."
Another kind of warmth clasp itself on me, fully understanding what he meant. I tightened my grip on him and buried my head on his neck, gliding my tongue and tasting his skin. "Honey....take me."
I whimper in surprise when I felt him grab tightly below my behind and pulled my body close to him, my hands untangling from his hard length so I can wrap it around his shoulders to hold on.
Sa sumunod na sandali ay natagpuan ko na lang ang katawan ko na binalot ng malambot na kama nang ihiga niya ako ro'n. I look at him with hooded eyes, watched him as he walked towards the other part of the room and pressed a button. My head snapped up when soft light hit my bare skin, and there I saw the moonlight peeking at his roof windows, gracing me with its delicate glow.
Ngunit kaagad nawala ro'n ang atensyon ko nang maramdaman ko ang paglundo ng kama. I looked down and saw Archer looking at me in a way that instantly widened the range of fire that I'm burning in.
We are no longer blazing with fire...we became an inferno.
He tugged down my legs the tiny piece of cloth that I'm wearing and without breaking our eye contact, he parted my legs and touched me there. His fingers worked me with feather touch, sliding on my wet and sensitive core. Naramdaman kong umangat ang katawan niya at binigyan niya ako ng magaang halik sa gilid ng bewang ko...pataas...hanggang marating niya ang pagitan ng dibdib ko. I gasped his name in delight when he took one breast in his mouth and suck...hard.
He continued worshiping my body with each flick of his tongue and graze of fingers. I grasp on the sheet with both of my hands, my body having a mind of its own is moving with his hand that continued to send an intense wave of electricity all over me.
He let go of my peak and traced his tongue up to the side of my neck to the sensitive spot of my ear. My body gave a surprise jolt when I felt something warm and hard nudge at my entrance. "Tell me to stop and I will." he whispered, his voice rough with pure need. "Tell me, baby."
"Never."
I arched my back from the bed and hold on his shoulders tight when I felt him eased inside me, his tip entering me with gentle movement. And I know...I know it's not enough. I need it deeper.
"Harder, honey." I whispered.
He held on my hip while his other hand is on my leg, then he moved. Deeper...and harder, but slowly, inside of me. I felt a sharp pain tore me but it was nothing compared to the pleasure that followed. I feel so full of him. Full of beauty.
"Aiere you didn't tell me-"
With my clouded eyes, I smiled at him and raise my hand, gently stroking his cheek. "I'm all yours."
It was more than being connected with our bodies. It was far more than that and I know that when his eyes showed his raw emotions. His eyes showing me what I just gave him.
I clench on his length which made him growled in return. He slowly moved, pulling almost entirely out, then pushing it again deep to my heat. He's so gentle like he's afraid to break me. But I want more. I'm reaching for something that I can nearly feel at the tips of my fingers. So near.
"Honey, please...faster." I cry in torment.
"I can't...baby..." I moved with him and against him. Matching his slow to my fast. A rumble echoed in his chest and I know that he's finding it hard to stop himself from giving in to my wishes. "Baby..."
"Please...I need more."
A groan escaped his lips and he suddenly took my mouth with a ravenous kiss at the same time I felt him pull himself to the hilt then in one hard thrust...he jammed his length inside of me. I cried out his name in wanton desire as I scored my nails on his back as he kept on pulling and pushing, throwing my body with his in a force so hard I can hear the thudding of the bed.
It was too much. Too beautiful.
Suddenly, I found myself being pulled up in a sitting position, while Archer continued to pound inside me. I hold on to him and moved with him as I reach and reach for the edge of the heaven I'm so near on holding.
I can hear our breaths turning heavy, his groan sounding around us turning me on more than I already am. He pulled away from our kiss and he look at me directly. His eyes holding mine as he continued to thrust his length inside my core. And there, under the moonlight, with his eyes locked on mine...I cried out his name again and again as I finally fall to the edge of my desire. But I didn't fell alone because he was with me all the way.
The weight of my body fell to him but he didn't mind and instead he wrapped his arms around me while we both stilled to catch our breath. Still connected....still full of each other.
Naramdaman ko ang isa niyang kamay na bumitaw sa pagkakapalibot sa akin at pinaglandas niya iyon sa braso ko, sa balikat, hanggang makarating siya sa mukha ko. Hinawakan niya ako sa baba at iniangat niya ang mukha ko para muling magtama ang mga mata namin.
"You're the best thing that ever happened to me."
I didn't know why, I probably shouldn't have so I can protect myself. But at that moment, I didn't care. What he gave me was beautiful. Not just me giving my body to him, but him letting me inside to see the rawness of him. At that moment I know....that I was so wrong. I wasn't starting to feel something. I was not starting to fall.
I already have.
"I love you." I whispered, my voice laced with pain and fear. But I gave him that. Dahil alam ko na hindi ko na magagawang pigilan pa. Hindi ko na magagawang itanggi.
There's a reason why I always let him in. Those moments under the moonlight, those moments of weakness. I could keep him out if I want to. But I didn't. I was falling all along. Now I already did. I didn't need him to cushion my fall or for him to jump with me. My heart just flew.
He closed his eyes and pulled me closer to his body and he just held on.
Hindi niya sinabi pabalik ang mga katagang binigkas ko. Hindi ko narinig sa kaniya ang mga salitang gusto kong marinig. Even if he can't say it yet for now...I'm contented. To be just in his arms. To be here under the moonlight with him. Giving him all of me.
Because I know...I know the truth even if he can't say it now. Because when my heart decided to fly, I wasn't alone. It was him that became my wings.
