DAUNTLESS SERIES: II (BAD AND MESSY)

Chapter Ten

༻✦༺ ༻✦༺

That was the last straw. Sagad na siya. Ubos na ang pasensya niya ngayong araw na ito.

He snatched her arm. Salubong ang mga kilay na napatingin ito sakaniya.

"You don't just fucking shoo me, Zafiyah. I am Nicholai Shawn Aboitiz and you don't have a damn right to order me around." Galit niyang bulong sa tapat ng mga labi nito.

He leaned his face closer and claimed her lips. It was a warm, hard kiss, full of anger and lust.

It was intended as a short kiss, but it didn't work out that way. He got lost in her sweet, sweet taste. Tila dinala sa langit si Nikkos. Damn, he had never felt this before. Ang pakiramdam na para bang lumulutang at sinasayaw sa alapaap. Walang ibang nasa isip kun'di kung gaano kasarap at kalambot ang mga labi ng dalagang noon lang niya napagtanto na kaytagal niya na palang inaasam na mahalikan.

Snuggling close, he lifted her face to kiss her better. To taste more of her. Ramdam niya ang paninigas nito at ang akmang pagpalag. He held her tighter. He nibbled on her lower lip, inserted his tongue then deepened the kiss.

His tongue slid into her mouth and his taste drowned her last logical thoughts. Spicy, minty, with a hint of sweetness soaked in pure male lust. Umungol si Zafiyah at iniarko ang katawan upang lalong idikit sa matigas at mainit na katawan ni Nikkos. Hard, warm male. She wanted to bite and lick every inch of him. Oh, god. Oh, god. She was getting wild and crazy. She was aroused. She could feel the small flicker of heat between her legs. She returned his kissed with equal heat and need.

He groaned. His fingers kneaded her hips, her back, her nape. "Fuck, Zaf."

Muli nitong inangkin ang mga labi niya.

Madiin.

Marahas.

Mapaghanap.

Pumaloob ang kamay nito sa loob ng suot niyang lacy bra. Humuhulma at lumalamas. Muli siyang napaungol. Parang gusto niyang mapaso sa init ng malambot at malaki nitong palad. Tila may apoy sa kamay ng binata at nanunuot 'yon sakaniyang laman. Ramdam niya ang matigas na bagay na mariing nakadikit sa puson niya. Rumagasa ang boltahe ng pagnanasa sakaniyang dugo. The heat and lust pulsed through her veins, melted down between her aching legs. Napasabunot siya sa makapal at malambot na buhok ni Nikkos. She kissed him harder and suckled his tongue. He groaned like a wounded animal and pressed more of his arousal to her.

"Zaf?"

Mabilis siyang kumalas kay Nikkos. They were both breathing hard. Disoriented itong napatingin sakaniya. Nagliliyab pa rin sa mga mata nito ang apoy ng pagnanasa. Nang makita ang pamimilog ng kaniyang mga mata ay agad siya nitong hinila upang itago sa likod nito. Sinamantala niya 'yon upang ayusin ang sarili. God, anong ginawa niya? Makipag make out ba naman sa mismong backstage! Ugh!

Nang maayos ang sarili ay nagpakita na siya kay Dory. Nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin nito sakanila ni Nikkos. Pormal itong ngumiti sa binata at bahagyang yumuko upang magbigay galang. Sunod siyang tiningnan nito. "You okay?"

She was trembling a little. Nakita ba sila ni Dory? Gusto niyang iumpog ang sarili sa kagagahan niya. Pilit ang ngiti na tinanguan niya ang floor manager. "Yes, Dory."

"All right. You can go home now. Tapos na naman ang performance mo. Puntahan mo na lang ako sa DR."

"Okay, thanks. Susunod ako." Ang DR na sinasabi nito ay ang dressing room nilang mga dancer.

Ngumiti ito at tumango kapagkuwan ay umalis na.

Nikkos turned to her and stared at her face. His clear brown eyes had gone so dark they were almost black. His jaw was clenched tight. His lips pursed in a thin line. She could see how much he wanted to kiss her again but trying his best to control himself.
