Chapter 22

(Maggy)

“YOU SAID you would only help me take a bath,” I told Austin when he began massaging my breasts. He was standing behind me as the water from the shower kept falling on us.

“What?” He asked innocently. His foamy hands were taking a long time on washing me. And he was doing it sensually. “I’m fulfilling my promise. I’m helping you right now. I’m helping you wash every nook and cranny of your body.”

“You’re planning something else, aren’t you?”

“That’s not fair, Maggy. You are accusing a very innocent man here.”

“If that’s true, then why does little Austin keep on rubbing me?” I grabbed his cock. The more I try to ignore it, the more it pokes my butt.

“What can I do? It seems like little Austin wants to help in washing you, too. He’s innocent just like me, Maggy,” he whispered and rubbed his shaft over my butt.

My cheeks flushed when he laughed. Even his laughter turns me on now. Why do I feel like Austin keeps on getting naughtier each day? Did I do this to him? Did I overdo it when I was teasing him before? And now he wouldn’t stop anymore. Every little thing he does arouses me.

It makes me want to hide this side of him to the world. If women would find out about this, they would certainly want Austin more. And I don’t want that to happen.

“Don’t be like this to anyone else, okay?”

He chuckled. “You don’t need to be jealous, sweetheart. I’m only like this to you. Because you are the only one I want to touch like this, too.”

“Don’t ever talk to any woman who would approach you if it’s not about business.”

“No problem. I won’t even look at them.”

I was about to say something but I instantly forgot about it the second his hands traveled to my belly down to my soft flesh before he proceeded on washing every single part of my body. Every second of it was tormenting. I felt relieved when he took the shower head and rinsed me.

But I was startled when he suddenly put the shower head directly on my core just when I thought it was over. The water pressure was stimulating me all the more.

“Austin!”

I was breathless when he finally took the shower head away. Damn this naughty guy! I don’t think I could ever look at shower heads the same way again.

“It’s not over yet. Turn around.”

I followed him with my chest full of anticipation this time. I put my hands on the glass wall when I felt him kiss me from the nape of my neck to my shoulders, to my back, all the way to my butt. He squeezed them before his kisses went down my legs.

At this rate, we might end up showering all over again.

“I think I’ve cleaned you enough.”

“So…it’s over?”

“Nah, we’re just starting.”

In an instant, Austin stood up and was right behind me again. He pulled me closer to his body and held my breasts as he slid his cock inside me. And this time, he thrust slowly. Our moans filled the bath room. Every thrust was filling me, driving me to ecstasy I didn’t know existed until I met him, until our bodies became one…

I WOKE up sweating profusely. I clutched my chest. I feel like my heart was going to explode. It was beating so fast. I glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table. It was only four in the morning. It was another dream. But God… it felt real. I’ve been having different dreams about Austin these past few nights. And they were all erotic dreams.

I don’t know if it had something to do with what Clarice made me watch last week. She brought CDs containing variety of genres. From comedy to horror, name it. And she had it. When she got bored, she replaced the action film with porn. I couldn’t forget how she laughed so hard after seeing how flustered I became.

“Come on, Maggy. I’m just taking my revenge,” Clarice said, grinning. “You also forced me to watch the same thing before I left Nevada a year ago. You required me to do it so I could lure a guy better—” She stopped midway and suddenly turned pale.

My eyes squinted. “What are you saying?”

She evaded my eyes. “I-I’m just kidding. Forget what I said.”

I started dreaming quite a lot of things since then. At first, the faces were blurry but their voices were familiar. But every time I’d wake up, I’d forget where I’d heard those voices. All I could remember clearly were the scenes in my dreams.

I saw a man and a woman kissing inside a car and on the veranda of a high-rise building. And then there were those images of two people making love in the library, in a cubicle, and now, in the bathroom. But today was my first time seeing myself and Austin in that scene, in that dream.

And I feel so embarrassed. I also don’t know if this was the effect of me craving to be kissed by him again. I don’t understand myself anymore but I don’t understand him, too. He would cook for me, give me roses and stuff, and take me out to dinner. He even tucks me to bed every night. But he wasn’t saying anything at all.

I took a deep breath and forced myself to sleep again. But when I closed my eyes, I remembered the images I saw in the dream. The kisses we shared there seemed so real. And I saw a different side of me in that dream. I was a little bold and daring there. What does that mean?

“This is driving me crazy,” I exclaimed and stood up when I could no longer fall asleep. I pulled out my robe from the rack and wore it before I stepped out of my room. I needed to clear my head of all these sinful thoughts. I went to the pool area and sat on the reclining chair there. I closed my eyes and found myself slowly relaxing when I felt the cold breeze.

“Why are you here? Is something bothering you?”

I immediately opened my eyes and straightened my back when I heard that familiar baritone voice. I was too preoccupied with my own thoughts that I didn’t notice Austin’s presence right away.

Like me, he was also in his pajamas. He sat on the chair next to mine. I suddenly felt hot and edgy when I remembered the dream I had about the two of us. I stood up and went near the swimming pool. It was hard not to think about naughty things when he was so close to me.

“I’m fine. I just couldn’t sleep anymore that’s why I decided to come down here. How about you? What brought you here?”

“I was in the veranda when I saw you here. So here I am. How are you feeling?” He chuckled. “This is strange. I get to be with you every day but I think this was my first time asking you that question.”

I looked up at the sky. “Honestly, I feel like all I do is sit here as the whole world passes me by. Everyone in this mansion knows what to do except me. They knew which life path they’d take. I, on the other hand, still feel as lost as the day I woke up with amnesia. I should be in Nevada to take care of YCM Hotel and Resorts. I shouldn’t be allowing Clarice to monitor our business from here because I was supposed to be the one who knew how to handle it better. But that’s just not the case.” My voice trailed off. “I couldn’t remember what to do. I could learn but I was afraid I’d just end up failing so many people.”

“You are not the only one responsible for YCM hotel and resorts, sweethearts. There were three of you.”

Sweetheart. I’ve always liked how warm that word sounded whenever Austin calls me that way.

“You’ve been hands-on in handling your business for years now. Let Clarice do her part. Maybe this whole thing happened so you can take a rest for a while.”

“But what will happen to me? What will I do?”

He closed the distance between us and fondly smiled. “Just live life.”

“H-how?”

I gasped when he positioned himself behind me.

“Like this,” Austin said before he pushed me. I fell on the water. He followed me right away and dived.

I was wheezing when I raised my head and eyed him furiously. “Why did you do that? What if I didn’t know how to swim? What if—”

“I know you can swim very well. I’m glad that you didn’t forget how to do it. You instinctively know how to swim.” He looked at me and proudly smiled. “Come on, sweetheart. This is life. It’s always full of surprises,” he added before he swam closer to me and passionately kissed me on the lips.

I was startled. Austin pressed his body against mine. I held onto his shoulders and closed my eyes. Slowly, I responded in his kisses. I’ve been longing to taste his lips again for weeks now. But after a while, he stopped and put a little distance between us. This was so disappointing.

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by his amused face.

I pushed him on the chest. “Why are you doing this to me? I don’t understand you! Was this fun to you, huh? Did you find my situation funny? Were you just playing with my feelings?”

“I would never play with your feelings, Maggy. I was just happy that kissing was not one of the things you’ve forgotten.” He looked utterly serious now. “I’m sorry if you think I’m confusing you. I really planned to court you first. But I want to make things slow because I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable.”

“W-what? Why?”

“I love you, sweetheart. I love you so much.” He covered my cheeks with his warm hands. “Loving you is like throwing myself on fire. I know I’d burn. I know I’d get hurt. But still, I let myself fall. Because you are my happiness. You are the cure to the burn as well.”

“I… I don’t really understand what you’re talking about.”

“You don’t have to understand anything, sweetheart.” He smiled. “I urge you to just follow your heart. What do you feel in this very minute?”

I looked straight in his eyes before smiling sweetly. “I… I think I’ve fallen for you, too.”
