Chapter 12

  Nakahiga sa bermuda grass at nakaunan sa mga hita ni Thalia habang nakamasid sa nagkikislapang mga bituin sa kalawakan. Isang linggo na rin ang matuling lumipas buhat nang muling makalakad.

  Ito rin ang ikatlong gabi nila ni Thalia sa resort na mismong pag-aari ni Michael. Pakiramdam ni Thalia ay siya na ang pinakamasaya at masuwerting babae sa balat ng sansinukob sapagkat hindi na siya tinantanan ng binata buhat nang masabi niya rito kung gaano niya ito kagusto and perhaps she already in love with him.

  Hindi man niya alam kung ano ang papel niya sa buhay ni Michael natitiyak naman niya na masaya siya sa anumang  mayroon sila ngayon.

  Hinuli ng palad ni Michael ang kamay ng niya na humahagod buhok nito pagkatapos ay dinala iyon sa mga labi.

  “Are you happy, bonita?”

  “Oo, naman. I'm always happy being with you, Mike.”

  “Sweetheart, bonita.” pagtatama ng binata na tinawanan lang niya.

  “What's funny, huh?”

  “Wala,” she then smiled at him. “Ang guwapo mo kasi.”

  “Kiss me then.”

  “Ayoko nga nakailang halik ka na sa akin ah.”

  Bago pa man makatanggi ang dalaga ay naabot na ni Michael ang kanyang batok naging dahilang iyon upang magdaiti at muling masakop ng mga labi ni Michael ang bibig niya.

  There's no way she could resist the burning sensation that already consuming her whole being. Walang parti ng kanyang pagkatao ang gustong tumutol. 

  The feeling of kissing him back is like as if she's almost reaching the heaven's gate above the seven sky. None of her nerves and cells were disagree. In fact, all she want is to taste and savour his lips into hers and feel his hand strolling around her allured. 

  Alam din niyang sukdulan ang pagtitimpi ni Michael na huwag siyang tuluyang maangkin sa tuwing nasa kainitan sila ng matamis na pagpapalitan ng ungol.

  But would she be willing to give herself? Is she ready for the price of loving Michael Valdemore?

  They're a lovers at ang dalawang magkapareha ay higit pa sa pagyayakapan at paghahalikan ang ginagawa. Hindi ba? 

  Are they going to make love? Is she going to lose her virginity to the man she had crush on from the very first time she laid eyes on him?

  Michael's experienced in women was world–renowned. What if she made a spectacular fool of her self? What if he was so put off by her experience he recoiled from her? 

  To silence the voices in her mind, Thalia took a deep breath and looked at the man sitting in the single sofa waiting for his glass of water.

  God damn handsome. No one goddess won't fall in love with him. 

  Mapahihindian ba niya ito kung sakali? Sa pagdadaiti pa lang ng kanilang mga balat ay naghahatid na sa kanya ng libo-libong sensasyon at 'di maipaliwanag na damdamin but is she ready for that to happen? 

  Thalia swallowed hard when Michael stares and smile at her. She felt the sudden leapt of her heart inside her chest. 

  “Sorry for waiting, here's your water,” inabot niya rito ang baso ng tubig na agad naman nitong tinanggap.

  “You know that I won't, sweetheart. Hindi ako kailan man maiinip basta palagi ka lang nakikita ng mga mata ko.” Ininom nito ang laman ng baso pagkatapos ay nilapag iyon sa bilugang mesa. 

  “Sit here, bonita.” inayos ni Michael ang pagkakasandig sa sofa.

  Wait! What? Gusto ba nitong maupo siya sa kandungan nito?

  But thinking of sitting in his lap trembled her inside. Is he kidding her? 

  “Uh— eh, hindi ba sumakit ang likod mo at humapdi ang paa mo kanina? Baka kasi kapag—”

  “Come and sit, sweetheart, don't worry I'm pleasantly fine.”

  “Are you sure?”

  “No more question just come and sit in my lap, bonita.” he commanded.

  Ano pa nga ba ang magagawa niya? Sino ba naman siya para tumanggi sa magandang pagkakataong iyon? Pigil niya ang paghinga nang makaupo sa kandungan ni Michael.

  “You're nervous, bonita. Don't be. I promise it will be good.” Nilingkis ni Michael ang mga braso sa katawan niya siguro ay para hindi siya makawala.

  “That's easy for you to say,”

  “It isn't. I haven't done this for long time, too.” He gave a wry smile when her brows shot up.

  “You don't?”

  “You'll be the first time since a while before the accident.”

  Pakiramdam niya'y lalong namula ang magkabila niyang pisngi.

   Ito na ba? Are they going to do the love making? 

  “Sumakit ang likod mo at humapdi ang paa mo kanina baka hindi mo pa kayanin?” muling paalala niya rito.

  Malakas na humalakhak si Michael sa tinuran niyang iyon but his laugh seems so good sa pandinig niya. Sounds so sexy indeed!

  “It's my back I still have arms to use and beside my feet won't betray me, sweetheart. Hindi balakid ang mga ito sa anumang gagawin natin.” he smiled and kissed her neck, licking down to her arm.

  Her mind gave her a warning of what would be happen next if she won't do such move but damn of all her nerves because she can't even move and protest.

  She must be virgin but not stupid in sex. Her eyes strayed to the perfect made up long sofa, her imagination running wild. She swallowed.

  “I—I'd like a tour of outside, if you don't mind.”

  His fingers drifted up to the corner of her mouth, pressed gently before he put his finger to his own lips and groaned.

  “Napasyalan na natin lahat hindi ba?”

  “Y-Yeah, but I still want to go outside,” kinakabahang aniya. 

  “If that's what you want,”

  She nodded. Ang totoo ay nanghinina ang katawan niya. She felt his hardness so alive and poking her ass that makes her feel shudder and trembled with such unexplainable torture.

  He didn't heed her request righ away. He leaned down, placed his lips at the juncture between her neck and shoulder and ran his tongue over her thundering pulse. He answered her groan with one of his own, then he reluctantly stood up, cuddle her and off his arm around her.

  “Damn it! I need to stop again.” mahinang bulong ni Michael pero umabot iyon sa pandinig ng dalaga. 

  Mabilie siyang lumayo rito at pumasok sa isang silid. Abot- abot ang kaba sa dibdib niya. She took a deep breath again and again. Kailangan niyang kalmanhin ang sarili. Napapitlag siya nang marinig ang katok mula sa labas ng pinto. 

  “Are we still going out? You know it’s better for us to stay in here,” it was Michael of course.

  “Lalabas na ako, saglit lang,” aniya, kung ilang minuto siyang nasa loob ay hindi niya tiyak. 

   She rapidly took off her short and changed it into jean, pinarisan niya iyon ng rubber shoes. 

  “Let’s go?” She nervously said. Hindi makatingin ng diretso sa mga mata ni Michael. 

  “You looked, stunning bonita. Kahit anong isuot mo ay maganda ka pa rin sa paningin ko, but I rather seeing you naked if you would ask me,”

  She blushed pero hindi pinansin ang tinuran nito. “Tara na.” 

  Hindi na lamang siya umimik sapagkat baka mabawi pa niya ang nasabi rito at mas nanaising madamang muli ang nasimulan nitong pagpukaw sa init ng katawan niya.

  Thalia was glad when he offered his arm because she felt as if her legs had grown decidedly shaky.

  “Saan mo gustong pumunta?” he stared at her lips.

  “K—kahit saan,”

  “Want to change your mind, bonita?” tukso rito ni Michael nilaro-laro ang hibla ng buhok niya.

  “No! I want to go out... para makalayo sa'yo bago pa tuluyang bumigay ang katawan ko." ang gusto pa sana niyang idugtong ngunit gusto nga ba talaga niyang lumayo buhat dito?

  “Come, there's something I want to show you.”

  There was heated anticipation in the low rumble that fluttered over her skin, feeding her own sizzling emotions.

  Michael led her across the grass and down shallow steps to the private, secluded beach. 

  Hindi minsan man binitawan ng binata ang kanyang kamay habang isang palad nito ay nakaalalay sa kanyang likod. Hatid niyon ay kakaibang init at kiliti sa kanyang himaymay.

  The thick timber four-poster canopy had been erected right on the shore, with a massive day bed suspended by thick intertwined ropes. The sight was so vividly breathtaking, and so unexpectedly raw and pagan. 

  This place is really beautiful. Ang parteng bahagi ng kinaroroonan nila ngayon ay si Michael lamang ang  tanging may access, bilang may ari ng buong resort, well according to him, malaya rin nakakalabas

  masok ang mga fraternity brothers nito sa lugar na ito. And the other side of the resort ay ang tatlumpo’t walang palapag na hotel for the guest na gustong maglibang at magliw-waliw on their holidays. And she’d been there the other day. It was indeed luxurious. Mula labas ng hotel, sa lobby at sigurado siyang higit pa ang ganda ng bawat silid na naroroon. 

  Talaga ngang napakayaman ng lalaking mahal niya. Napakataas nito samantalang siya ay nagmistulang tungaw kumpara rito. Nakaramdam siya ng panliliit sa sarili ano nga ba ang panama niya sa mga babaeng naging karelasyon ni Michael noon?

  Saglit siyang natigilan. Biglang napalunok nang muling mapasulyap sa kamang naroroon. 

  There was only one reason for a bed.

  Sex. Outdoor sex. Dito ba? Dito ba siyang gustong angkinin ni Michael? Ilang babae na ba ang nadala rito ng mayamang binata? Pang ilan kaya siya? Did he treat them the same way he treated her?

  She shook her head trying to ignore and rid off the thoughts playing in her mind. 

  How could she be so malicious this time? 

  Bakit naman hindi? Sino ba ang magiging matino ang pag-iisip kung ang makakasama mo sa isang mala enchanted place ang isang katulad ni Michael Valdemore? 

  The hunks of all hunks!

  Heat engulfed her whole body as Michael's gaze met and trapped hers.

  “The high rocks shield even the most determined lenses. And see those? He indicated three discreetly place flood light pointing out towards the water. 

  Nagtanggal muna siya ng bara sa lalamunan bago nagsalita. “Even so, I can't imagine doing... it so blantanly.”

  Itinaas ni Michael ang palad niya ang masuyong ginawaran ng halik. “ Never say never, bonita. Do it with me what you will, sweetheart.” he put his hand around her nape and grabbed her waist closer to him.

  He then thrust and invades her mouth with his lips, kissing her like a famished king, yearningly with unrestrained passion. 

  Thalia can do nothing but to responds to his kisses and enjoy the sensation that running swiftly in her pulse.

  At nang maramdaman ang pagtugon ng dalaga ay pinalalim ni Michael ang bawat paggalugad at paggalaw ng dila nito sa loob ng bibig niya. Ang kaninang nakayakap na palad nito sa  likod niya ay nagsimulang maglakbay sa buonh katawan niya.

  She was almost lost nang putulin ni Michael ang mainit nilang paghahalikan. She wanted to protest but she remained silent.

  "Do you want us to do it here, bonita?" tila hirap na hirap ito sa pagsasalita. Trying to resist the heat of his own. Habol pa rin ang paghinga.

  Mariin siyang umiling as she bit her lower lip. Kahit sabihing safe at mahigpit ang seguridad ng resort at walang makakakita sa kanila kahit doon siya angkinin ni Michael ay hindi pa rin siya komportable.

  Michael grabbed her hand and led her back into the house and into his bed room. The setting sun threw orange shades across the king–size wooden–framed bed that seemed to dominate the room and waiting for them to rock.

  Sunod-sunod ang kanyang paglunok. Unable to think beyond the raging need to strip every piece of clothing from his body.

  “I can hear you thinking again. And I don't feel warm and fuzzy about the direction of your thoughts.” he started to unbutton his shirt.

  Oh, dear is this the finale? Wala na bang atrasan? Gagawin na ba nila in real? 

  Ang bilis ng kabog ng dibdib niya hindi lang iyon nararamdaman din niya ang kakaibang damdaming lumulukob sa kaibudturan niya. Is she excited of what would happen sa loob ng ilang segundo? 

  She tried and failed not to let her eyes linger over his mascular wide chest and down over his was-board and mouth watering abs, following the faint of the hair that disappeared beneath his jeans. She swallowed hard. She saw that thing before! Namula ang magkabila niyang pisngi.

  Alam niyang nangangalaiti na ang pagkalalaki ni Michael. Kanina pa iyon bumubukol sa suot nitong jean. Muli siyang napalunok pero hindi naman niya magawang iiwas ang pahamak niyang mga mata.

  Tuyong-tuyo na ang lalamunan niya. Ano ba ang gagawin niya? Lalabas ng silid at tatakbo? Pero batid niya sa sarili that she was enjoying the view. She couldn’t even take her eyes off his breath taking manhood.
