Fortress Island Series 2 Romano: Can't We Try (BOOK 2)

TWENTY

In My Dreams

Romano took possession of my mouth and I just let him. Even though I was splayed on top of him, he was in full control. Alam kong lasing ito at alam kong hindi nito alam ang kanyang ginagawa, pero katangahan ba ang namnamin ang ganitong sandali? Ang sandaling matatawag kong akin.

Di bale nang lasing ito, di bale nang para sa kanya ay isa lamang itong panaginip, pero hindi ko ito aawatin sapagka't sobrang namimiss ko ang presensiya niya. Ang paraan ng pagkakawahak niya sa akin. Bawat haplos at hagod ng kanyang mapag-angking kamay ay abot langit na ang dulot sa akin.

Sa ngayon, hindi ko iisipin ang ginawa niyang pananakit sa akin. I would not dare break this spell, this dream or fantasy I was having right now. Tonight, I wanted to give him my body and soul.

Romano changed our position and I was now lying on my back beneath him. Gusto kong mapangiti nang maramdaman ang bigat ng kanyang katawan sa akin. I missed him so bad. When did the last time we were this close and intimate?

Mas mapusok ang paraan ng pag-angkin nito sa aking mga labi na halos kapusan na ako ng hininga. Pero kahit pa siguro maubusan ako ng hangin, hindi ako titigil sa pagganti ng kanyang halik sa takot na baka nga isa lamang itong panaginip, katulad ng sinasabi nito.

Romano tugged my lower lip and I groaned. I loved how he tasted in my mouth. His taste was a mixture of vodka and mint that made my inside swirl with so much carnal needs na siya lamang ang makakapagbigay.

Oh, lord, but it's been so long since the last time we made love and I couldn't wait for him to completely owned me.

"I wanted to hate you, Mira." He murmured as he nuzzled my neck. Napaliyad ako sa mapangahas nitong kamay na humahaplos sa aking kanang dibdib ngayon. Hindi ko mapigilang mapapikit.

"You already did. You probably hate me now." Impit na sagot ko. Pigil na pigil ang sariling hindi mabaliw sa mga masasarap niyang haplos sa akin.

"I don't hate you, babe. I never did. I won't ever."

I stopped squirming underneath him and snapped my eyes open. Our gazes met and I could tell by the way he's looking at me, he's telling the truth. Pero bakit?

"I don't understand you, Romano. You told me I was disgusting."

He shook his head. Umangat ang kanyang kamay para hawiin ang iilang hibla ng buhok na tumatabing sa aking mukha.

"I'm sorry for those foul words I uttered, babe. I didn't mean them. You don't disgust me. I'm never disgusted with you. Not ever. If anything, I am more disgusted to myself for wanting you so bad even though we're..." He swallowed as his jaw clenched.

"You're drunk, Romano. Sinasabi mo lang ito dahil lasing ka pero alam ko, bukas paggising mo, mas malala pa siguro ang iyong mararamdamang galit sa akin."

"I'm not drunk, babe, I'm dreaming." He smirked with a hint of arrogance. "And let's not ruin this moment, Mira. This is my dream, not yours."

I narrowed my eyes at him. Hinayaan ko ang aking mga daliring laruin ang kanyang malagong buhok. "What if this isn't a dream, Romano?"

He gave me a tight smile. "I hurt Mira. She won't come here just to see me."

"But I'm here now."

"Because you're a dream, babe. And I keep dreaming of you since the day I turned my back to you. Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon, palagi akong humihingi ng kapatawaran sa'yo."

"Why did you become alcoholic?"

Romano sighed. He dipped down to press a kiss on my forehead. Napapikit ulit ako. I missed this gesture of his. He was about to pull away pero hinawakan ko ang likod ng kanyang ulo, not letting him go.
