CHAPTER 20

Chapter 20

Natulos si Lucy sa kinatatayuan. Kung mas may inaasahan man siyang matanggap mula kay Sandro, iyon ay sampal at maaanghang na salita, hindi isang maalab na halik.

She has been kissed a couple of times. Of course, she had flings. She tried flirting with boys on her age in pursuit that she could divert her attention to other man. Those young boys have treated her like a fragile doll. And for some reason, that's a boredom. And she  didn't like how they acted as willing slave to her.  Kulang nalang ay lumuhod sila tanda ng kanilang pagsamba. Sadyang hindi niya nararamdaman sa ibang lalaki ang thrill at excitement na nararamdaman niya kay Sandro.

To be kissed by a Sandro Benavidez has been a romantic fantasy. And oh, lord, she had been kissed, but why does it feel like her lips was touched for the very first time? Maybe because no one had ever kissed her as ravage as this.

Kung siguro'y hindi lang dahil sa karahasan ng binata, ipinagbunyi na ng kanyang kalooban ang paghalik nito sa kanya.  But there was not even a tiny sweetness in his kisses. It was driven by anger. He knew he cannot harm her physically. So if Sandro meant to punish her, scare her with his savage kisses, then she could guarantee his satisfaction.

The way he deviously devour her mouth was a two-way punishment. A bearable agony and... a bit pleasure. Physically, Lucy's lips felt sore. But if there's a greater torture, iyon ay tila may hatid na kuryente ang mga labi nito. She was mercilessly electrified to her nerve endings!

She was torn between making him stop o hayaan siyang magsawa sa pagpaparusa sa kanya because after all, he had all the right to be angry at her and to make her pay in ways he knew.

Sandro bit her lip not so gently that she gasped in sudden thrill of pain. Then he released it, finally allowing Lucy to breathe. The kiss left her panting through her aching lips. Even Sandro was sophisticatedly breathless.

"Why don't you kiss back, huh, Luzeda?" He whispered tauntingly, voice as cold as the night. Then he pressed his thumb in her bottom lip. "Isn't this what you have always wanted, darling?"

Sandro was about to decend his mouth to hers again pero maagap na napigil ito ng dalaga sa magkabilang braso. He stopped and look at her with mocking amusement.

"Don't...please." Usal ni Lucy sa halos hindi marinig na tinig. Kung sa pangalawang pagkakataon ay hahalikan siya nito sa ganoong paraan, she would have a lips of a duck tomorrow. Isa pa'y hindi niya na maipapangako sa sariling kakayanin pang hindi tugunin ang halik ng binata. Her mind might be against his roughness, pero hindi ang katawan niya.

"Don't please what, Lucy?" With deceptive gentleness, he tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. Sa tingin ni Lucy ay ginawa iyon ni Sandro upang walang maging sagabal nang paglakabayin nito ang mata at kamay sa bawat sulok ng kanyang mukha.

"Don't touch you?" He ran a finger along the delicate curve of her jaw slowly.

"Don't kiss you?" She shivered when he drifted a thumb in her bottom lip and made some featherlight strokes. "But you've been dreaming about this, haven't you, sweetheart? You dreamt about me kissing you, touching you like this. And I'm giving it to you now, Lucy. So what's with your fret, huh?"

The way Sandro fascinatingly explored her face caused a stinging sensation below her stomach that Lucy didn't notice her breath shuddered.

"I— I came here to talk to you, Sandro."

"The Altamontejo princess tempt fate because she wanted to talk to me. Should I be privileged?" His voice was soft. But it was all sarcasm and mockery.

"Sandro, p-please..." She closed her eyes and took a sharp breath. Kahit nanghihina ang mga tuhod, umatras siya ng isang hakbang palayo sa binata. "I came here to talk and apologize."
