Devil's Luscious Temptation [BL][COMPLETED]

Chapter 49

ethereal

ACE'S POV

As I watched the water splash in the yacht's skin, I couldn't help but reminisce about the things we did. We fought. I was fighting my way out and he was fighting his way in. We both have different paths, but it seems those paths are meant to run across each other.

Kung siguro may magsasabing ganito ang mangyayari sa akin in my past self, I would have choose the other way. But I'm glad these happen.

"I'm loving how heavenly you are right now, mi amor?" I heaved a sigh when two strong hands enclosed me from behind.

Sumandal ako sa matitikas niyang mga dibdid at pumikit para namnamin ang sariwang hangin. Ang sariwang buhay. Ang panibagong buhay at kabanata.

"I am. It's relaxing and peaceful. I wish we could stay like this forever. Calm and serene." I said as I turned around to face him.

Inayos ko ang buhok na nilipad ng hangin but he beat me on doing it. Doon ko napansin ang singsing na suot-suot niya. Napansin ko na 'yan noon pa man the time when we first meet and I am certain that it's the supposedly wedding ring namin.

"Hmm. Glad you liked it. I'm just showing you the ethereal beauty you possesed, brat. It takes time, but I'm damn happy when I succeed. I won't let you out of my grasp again. You and my son." He kissed me as a seal of his promise.

He then let go of me eventually and ipiniling ko ang mukha ko sa malalaki niyang kamay. It's his touch that reminds me of the reality that I'm finally in his arms again. It's so surreal but it is true. I'm in the arms of my love again.

"I love you."

Ang mahina kong bulong habang nakatingin sa mukha niya. I don't need to shout it; I think the rapid beat of heart is enough to show him how true I am with my words.

It was his sayings. His voice and serendipity, his I love you' and kisses that always made my resolve broken. Pero in spite of the things that happened to us, hindi ko labis mabanggit ang mga katagang alam kong ninaais niyang marinig. I love him and I know that my actions would be meaningless without words.

I think I saw him smiled but he hid it well. Namumula na rin ang mukha niya. Kingina, nagba-blush din pala ang isang Lance Zapanta! The black panther of the business world who runs the one of the most successful empire in the world is affected by my words.

"You're blushing, Lance!" I said as I point his red face.

"I am not!" Seryosong saad niya.

"Oo eh! Look at your face! Ang pula!" I was so happy looking at his red face and mas pumula pa ito ng lumulukso ako para halikan ang mga pisngi niya. Ang cute lang. Sa laki at tikas ba naman ng lalaking 'to ay mamangha ka talaga!

"Yes, eh!" I was about to tease him more nang walang pasabi niyang sinapo ang pang-upo ko at hinalikan. It lasted a moment and I'm sure ako naman ngayon ang namumula.

"Don't tease me, brat. I'm a panther, remember that and yeah, I love you too, mi amor." He smirked.

Things and happenings can't be predicted and is somehow a huge question mark on us. Kasi minsan ay may mga bagay na gusto talaga nating makuha and then when the time comes ay magbabago na naman ang gusto natin. Dahil sa may nagbago. Maybe your perception towards your desire changed through the time. Things don't stay permanent. Happenings in life don't stay permanent. That's the important lesson I've learnt from a week of being captive by my husband.

Noong nagising ako in Lance's territory wala na akong ginawa kundi ang magplano ng magplano kung paano makatakas, paano aalaskahan ang lalaking 'yun, paano ipatatak sa isipan niya na ayaw ko na sa kaniya. Pero tingnan niyo ako ngayon.

I thanked Lance ng alalayan niya ako sa pagababa sa hagdanan ng yati. Finally, naka-apak na rin ako ng lupa. Hindi lang sa yating 'yan. Hindi naman sa nagrereklamo ako but I still have a life to attend to at hindi ang mamalagi na lang sa yating yan. Maybe we'll visit this place again when things are good and settled. After all, this yacht and kidnapping incident is where it resumed the paused romance we had. It has a sentimental value.

"Nasaan ang sasakyan mo?" Tanong ko sa kaniya ng makababa na talaga kami and nakikita ko naman na ang mga tauhan niya ay nakamasid lang sa paligid.

But before Lance could even say a word, isang matinis na tinig ang sumangsang sa buong lugar.

"You're a witch, Ace! Wala ka ng ginawa kundi ang kunin ang nasa sakin! Mang-aagaw!" I turned around and raised an elegant brow at the bitch who interrupted us.

"Hello to you too, Stephanie." I rolled my eyes at her antics.

"Awwwwwww. Lance you told him already! Pangit naman! Anubayan! Tsk." Umirap lang ako ulit sa kaniya.

Tanggap ko naman siya pero hindi lang talaga ako komportable sa sitwasyon namin sa ngayon. Maybe these wounds will heal and it just needs time.

"Anyways, congratulations! Oh, ayan Lance, ah! Patas na tayo. But anyways a beautiful woman like me has a lot to do. Nandiyan na yung sasakyan niyo. Nyeta mo, Lance ginawa mo pa akong driver. Cheh! Maka-alis na nga."

Natawa na lang kami ni Lance sa inasta niya. Nakakapanibago lang! I'm not used to seeing this Stephanie. She's quite the opposite of the old one, she's happy, bubbly, mataray pa rin at maarte pero all in all ay masaya akong nabawasan na ang stress ko sa buhay.

"Hoping for a good chat with you soon, Mrs. Zapanta!" Nakita kong may umalalay sa kaniya papasok sa isang sasakyan.

"Was that Juanito? Are they on good terms already?" I asked Lance as I saw the two of them drove away.

"They already had a son. No need for more dramas." He paused as he kissed my head, "Let's go home already or do you want to eat first before we go?" Ngiti lang ang naging tugon ko sa kaniya.

We walked the distance of one of Lance's possession and sumakay kaagad dito. I can't wait to go home! I missed my baby Joxiah, dad, mom, Kuya Silver which sa pagkaka-alam ko ay naka-uwi na together with his fiancée, and of course my best friend, Justin.

Ten years have passed, lagpas na siya sa kalendaryo pero heto at parang walang nagbago sa amin. The same! Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa lahat ng mga nangyayari but I'm really happy that it turns out this way. Pagod na ako sa laro ng tadhana and I want to rest happily with my family. My home!

Before I could stop myself ay nasa kandungan na niya ako. I kissed him torridly in hope na malaman niya through my actions on how happy I am with him. How in love I am with him.

He was about to kissed me back when I felt myself sick. Parang nasusuka na iwan.

"Hey, are you okay? You're pale. What happened?" Ang nag-aalang tanong niya sa akin. I have my assumptions already pero hindi ako sigurado.

"Let's just go home, Lance. Napagod lang siguro ako sa byahe." He hesitantly nodded kaya bumalik na ako sa pagkaka-upo.

"Are you really fine? Damn, brat you're scaring the fuck out of me." Hindi ko alam pero parang uminit ang ulo ko sa kaniya!

"I said I am okay! Now drive or maglalakad na talaga ako!" I glared at him and he raised his arms as if sumusuko.

"Fuck, I get it. Calm down, brat!" Napahilot ako sa aking sentido when I'm feeling dizzy and at the same time ay gusto kong kumain.

"Lance can you strip naked?" Wala lang, I think he looks good naked. Damn, what's wrong with my mood?
