Chapter 20: Another Passionate Night

Pagod na pagod si Belle dahil sa dami ng trabahong natambak pagkatapos niyang magbakasyon. It was a Friday night at naglalakad na siya pauwi sa kanyang bahay. Bigla siyang huminto nang makita na naman ang pulang Ford Raptor sa tapat ng gate niya. Bigla ang pagkabog ng dibdib niya. Ilang buwan na ba ang nakalipas pagkatapos ng nangyari sa kanila? Bakit na naman ito naroon? Ano na naman kaya ang sasabihin nito? Parang gusto niyang ma-stress lalo dahil wala na siyang lakas para makipagtalo. Pero mas gusto niyang mabahala dahil sa pagwawala ng puso niya. Miss na miss na niya ito pero kailangan niyang patatagin ang paninindigan.

Nang makatapat sa gate ay nagkunwari na lang siyang hindi napansin ang sasakyan. Pero kakapasok pa lang niya ng susi sa keyhole ay bumukas agad ang sasakyan at lumabas si Isaac.

"Well?" Walang interes na tanong niya rito. Gusto niyang kumustahin ito nang mapansing pumayat ito at parang pagod at puyat.

"I just want to check the most promiscuous woman I have ever known," nakaismid na sabi nito.

"Isaac, I've had so much stress these past few days. The least you can do is at least stop pestering me."

"Really? Baka naman..." Sadya nitong ibinitin ang sasabihin.

"Ano na naman?"

"Pagod at puyat ka," nakangising sabi nito.

"Yes, so please leave me alone."

"Mukhang pinapagod ka ng pinsan ko. He seemed to give you a pounding almost every night. Was he that good?"

Umigkas ang palad niya sa pisngi nito. "Asshole!"

"Isn't it true?"

"Kunsabagay totoo naman. Lucas is insatiable. I bet you're horny. Sorry to disappoint you, I'm not available. Lucas will be here tonight."

"You bitch," anito at hinatak ang braso niya bago siya hinapit.

"Isaac, let go of me. Hindi ka dapat nanggugulo," nanggigigil na sabi niya.

Pero tila wala itong narinig dahil mariin siya nitong hinalikan. Napanganga siya sa pagkabigla kaya sinamantala nito iyon at pinagbuti pa ang paghalik. Tinangka niyang makawala rito ngunit tila bakal ang mga braso nito. Not a while longer, his savage kiss became gentle and sweet. It was so tender that she found herself responding to him. Again, she threw away all logic and her inhibitions. She no longer noticed when he opened the gate and the door and carried her inside the house.

Maya-maya'y langong-lango na sila sa mga halik nila. "Belle, I need you," sabi nito sa pagitan ng halikan nila.

"I n-need you, too," balik niya bago niyakap ang batok nito at lalo itong hinalikan.

Ibinaba siya nito ngunit nanatiling magkahinang ang mga labi nila. He undressed her while letting her feel the sensation that only he could bring. She realized she has been pining for his kisses and touches for so long. When he was done, he removed his clothes as well and grabbed her both hands, urging her to touch him.

"Feel me, Belle. Oh please, I need you to. I’m begging you," he said while showering her face with wet kisses.

"Yes." She did not have a heart to refuse him now that they were both stark naked. She stopped for a while and stared at his male beauty she had not seen for a while. He was still as breathtaking as he was the last time they did it. They were already past the point of no return. And she would die if they would not be one again. This would be the last time. She would keep this in her heart forever. She had a plan.

She pushed him to the couch and sat astride him. Her hands and her lips worked as partners as she started to pleasure Isaac. She licked his nipples while her hands were on his potent maleness. “Oh Belle,” anitong parang hinihingal. She rubbed and licked him all over, but she was still not content. For a moment, she felt a bit awkward, so she paused and looked at him. “Belle, honey, you’re killing me. Yes, yes, yes, please do it,” he said with passion and urgency. She did what she had been missing in the last six months. She knelt on the floor and tentatively touched it. When she heard him moan louder, she felt a complete power over him. She knew she conquered him again, but she was not done yet. She started to lick and suck it and moved her right hand faster until he stopped her.

He pulled her up and carried her to her bedroom. There he touched and pleasured her. He took his time sweetly as she cried incoherently and called his name. When she felt she was about to come did she feel their bodies join. “Isaac, your condom,” she said when she remembered he was not wearing protection, but he silenced her with his kiss. Once again, Isaac brought her into a total frenzy as he pounded harder and hit her most sensitive spot. When they reached a feverish climax, he buried himself deeper as he spilled inside her.

When the heat subsided, she thought he would pull out and lie beside her or leave her. So she was so shocked when she felt him getting hard again. “It’s alive again, honey.” That started another passionate love making until they both reached their limit and fell asleep just before the sun rose.

NANG magising siya bago mag-tanghali ay natagpuan niya ang sariling nakadagan halos ang buong katawan dito. Mahigpit siyang yakap nito na parang ayaw na siyang pakawalan. Nang subukan niyang bumangon ay umungol lang ito at lalo siyang kinabig hanggang sa makatulog siya. Nang muli siyang magising ay alas-dos na ng hapon. Tulog na tulog pa rin ito at malakas ang paghilik. Hindi tuloy niya napagilang mapangiti dahil naalala niyang ganoon ito kalalim matulog. Was she supposed to get shocked? They did it five times. To say he was mighty and insatiable was a sheer understatement.

When she was about to kiss his lips, she remembered Frances. Binaha na naman siya ng matinding pagkakonsiyensiya. Paano niya nagawang pumatol na naman sa lalaking ito. At hindi na ito basta isang lalaki, magiging ama na ito. Sa galit ay pinagsasampal niya ito at pinagbabayo ang dibdib. “Walanghiya ka!” Tuluyan na naman siyang napaiyak.

“What’s the matter with you, Belle?” Tumaas agad ang tinig nito pero hindi kababakasan ng galit. Mukha itong alalang-alala dahil sa paghihisterya niya.

“Hindi ka pa ba nakukuntento ha, Isaac? Masaya ka na siguro kasi may napatunayan ka na naman.” Galit na galit siya kaya muli niya itong pinagsusuntok. Hindi nito iyon ininda hanggang sa magsawa siya.

“We both wanted it. You still wanted me. I want you, always have, always will.”

“Wala kang konsiyensiya! You, you harassed me!”

“Harassed?” Gulat na gulat ito.

“Yes, you, you seduced me. Get out!”

“No, I won’t. I will stay here or you live with me again. I won’t let you go this time. You have to understand that you belong to me. I know you love me and nothing has changed, I’m sure of it."

“Get out! I loved you before. Before, Isaac. Before. Okay, I admit I still want you. How can I resist you when you’re a God’s gift to women? You are perfect, but my heart now belongs to someone else. I don’t want to hurt him. I don’t want to lose him.”

“That’s not true,” anito at lumapit sa kanya. “Mahal mo pa ako. Kung hindi, walang mangyayari sa atin. You called my name many times last night.”

“I don’t love you anymore. I love Lucas,” patawarin nawa siya ni Lucas sa pagsisinungaling niya. “I still wanted you badly. But that’s it. Let’s just charge it to experience.”

“You’re so full of shit! I don’t believe you because you are such a lousy liar. But I will leave you here if that’s what you want. Don’t worry, this will not be the last time you’ll see the face of the man you truly love, and you can’t run away from me anymore,” naiinis na sabi nito. He wore his clothes and went to the door. But he stared at her intently before he left.
