CHAPTER 24

HANNAH

"Harley, I'm out of town again today. Sa batangas lang. I can't video call you due to insufficient signal in the area. But I will message you from time to time. I love you, baby." I hit sent button after I type those words.

Wala pang limang minuto ay agad na nagreply si Harley. Nagmamadali kong binuksan iyon. 'Got it. Enjoy your vacation. I'm fine here, hope you're doing well too.'

"Yeah. I kinda miss you, so please send nudes." Nakangiti ako habang naghihintay sa reply nito.

'My little fox can't take her dirty hands off my body.'

'That body is mine.' And I hit send again. Hindi ko na nga namalayan na nakalabas na pala si Apollo ng bathroom at nakatayo na malapit sa aking kama.

"You're smiling like a fool." Napaayos ako ng higa nang marinig ang malalim na boses nito. Napasinghap ako nang makita na pang-ibaba lang ang saplot nito habang pinupunsan ng tuwalya ang basang buhok.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin bago pa man niya ako tuluyang maakit. "Ano ka ba? Bakit hindi ka pa nakabihis?!"

"It still has effect on you, huh?"

"Pinagsasabi mo d'yan? Ayoko lang makakita ng ibang katawan bukod kay Harley. Loyal kaya ako. Hmp!"

He smirked and moved to his bed. Tinuloy lang nito na tuyuin ng tuwalya ang buhok. Habang ginagawa niya iyon ay nagf-flex ang mga muscles nito sa braso.

Humiga ako at tumingala sa ceiling. "This is kidnapping."

"Let's go out." Aya niya nang maisuot ang puting t-shirt na humahapit sa katawan nito.

Iniwas ko ang aking tingin. "Ayoko, pagod na ko ha."

"Oh, come on. Maraming bars na open sa baba."

"Ano gagawin ko d'un?"

"Maglalaba." Sarkastikong sabi nito.

Inirapan ko ito. "Ikaw nalang. Dito nalang ako."

"Ayaw mo bang sulitin ang pagiging single mo? Your days are limited, so come on." Paghihikayat nito habang may mapaglarong ngiti sa kanyang mga labi.

Napalunok ako at bumangon. "Fine! Pero saglit lang!"

"I hear you."

"H'wag ka ngang ngumiti. Feeling ko ibang tao ka eh." Tumayo ako at inayos ang nagulong buhok at damit.

Mas lalong lumawak ang ngiti sa mga labi nito. "Why? Does it have effect on you?"
Has
"Wala. Asa ka." Masungit kong saad. "Hindi ako iinom. Sasamahan lang kita."

A few moments later....

"Hannah, hey, are you okay? Can you walk?" Halos hindi ko na marinig ang boses na iyon dahil sa malakas na tugtugan sa bar.

Ang huli ko nalang na naalala ay natuwa ako sa pagiging lively ng bar at nasarapan sa mga timpla nito. Ngayon nalang ako napunta ulit sa bars because doesn't like noisy places.

Naramdaman ko ang pag-angat ng aking katawan at napaungol ako. "Don't move too much or I'll vomit."

"No, no. Not on me, sweetheart. I'll take you outside. In the bushes."

Kahit umiikot ang paningin ay binuksan ko ang aking mga mata. Dahan-dahan kong dinikit ang aking hintuturo sa pisngi nito. "You're not my husband."

"You aren't married yet."

"Yah know.... my husband is a prince charming.." Ngumiti ako na para bang nagmamayabang. "Never niya ako nasaktan."

"Ah, really?"

"'Di katulad n'ung kumag dun, pinapaiyak ako."

"Maybe that's because he's not healed yet and you're pushing yourself on him."

"Healed? Pwe. Masamang tao talaga 'yun." Nakaramdam ako ng hilo kaya't hinigpitan ko ang aking yakap at sinubsob ang aking mukha sa pagitan ng leeg at balikat nito. Narinig ko ang mahina niyang pagmumura.

"Kung masusuka ka, sabihan mo ko agad."

"No." I whispered. "I'm fine here."

Narinig ko ang mahinang pagmumura nito. Ang sunod kong naramdaman ay ang pagtama ng aking likod sa malambot na bagay.

"I have to remove your clothes, sweetheart."

"Call me 'sweetheart' one more time." I said, pointing my finger at his face. "and you'll suffer a violent death."

"Sure, baby." he said, grinning. "But I am pretty much having a perfect day today, so excuse me that I won't let you spoil it."

"This is what you call a perfect day?" Only now, did I notice that my hands were shaking, that my heart was still racing a mile a minute.

"You all right? He asked, cupping my cheeks.

"Don't... touch..."

"I'm not going to hurt you, if that's what you fear." He was flustered.

He reached out to trace his finger along my jawline. My heart made a summersault when he started to give feathery touches on my lower lip.

"I think you are beautiful." He leaned forward and kissed my forehead, his lips cool against my skin. Struck speechless by his reaction, I wanted to push him away again, but couldn't. Desire, which had simmered below the surface, unfurled.

"Give it to me." My body is hot. I grabbed him by the shirt and yanked him toward me for a kiss that made my toes curl.

And he didn't stop there, either.

His tongue—so soft, so pliant—moved against mine, sweet like cotton candy. He held me to him, taking all that I gave and giving more in return. Mu body molded to his, and the way he moved against me ... Oh, God, the way the man moved was maddening.

My nimble fingers drifted down the center of his shirt. I never broke the kiss, didn't come up for air. I didn't need to; every breath we took fed off the other's.

My hands slid inside his shirt and pressed against his chest. Every muscle in his body went taut at my touch. When he finally broke the kiss, I felt the loss instantly, but my attention went to the side of his neck.

Supple lips pulled and sucked at the skin there as my tongue tasted him. He pressed me closer to his, meeting my questing hips and rubbing the bulge in his pants against my center.

"Kitten..." It was all he could muster through his heavy breathing.

"Give it to me... please.." I purred like a cat in heat. "Harley... please, Harley."

His body stopped. My eyes were closed and my hands are traveling on his wide back.

"Harley.." I moaned and give him a light kiss on his neck. "Why did you stop?"

"I'm glad you called a different name, sweetheart." Batid ko ang paghihirap sa boses nito. "I almost own you."

Hindi ko na narinig pa ang mga sumunod na sinabi nito dahil sa unti-unti ng nilalamon ng antok ang aking sistema.
