All-Time Favorite: El Paraiso

Chapter Twenty-Five

MICHELLE lay beneath him, too exhausted to even move a finger. She was barely able to breathe and yet she didn't want him anywhere else but on her. May ilang sandaling nanatili sila sa ganoong ayos.

He was still inside her and softening. Instinctively, her muscles clenched around him.

He laughed, low and rusty. His breath was warm in her hair. "Don't do that, honey," he warned as she felt him hardening again. "You're beat. From the fire and from now—"

"I-I want to feel again what I had felt moments before," she said wonderingly. Then she slid her legs up his sides and wrapped them around his hips and tilted her pelvis in an unconscious effort to take him all.

He groaned. Then he gripped her bottom and tilted her up and ground himself against her softness. Then his hands worked on her delightfully, seeking all the hot spots and pleasure points of her body.

This time Adrian prolonged the lovemaking without letting her go over the edge.

Ang matinding pangangailangan ni Michelles ay gumagapang paitaas at hindi niya kayang kontrolin. His steely muscles were locked inside her, at tila ba wala itong balak gumalaw.

"A-Adrian, please..." she said hoarsely.

Sa kabila ng butil-butil na pawis at tensiyon sa mukha nito ay isang ngiti ang pinakawalan ni Adrian habang ang mga mata'y nakahinang sa kanya. Then he withdrew slowly and then moved in a long, deep stroke.

Michelle gasped as pain and pleasure collided. She began to come, wave after wave of mind-boggling pleasure. Adrian rode through her climax, driving deeper, demanding his own release. Sa paggawa niyon ay pinatagal nito ang walang katapusang kaligayahang umaagos kay Michelle.

Then he groaned, arched his back, his hips convulsed as he plunged deep one last time. At sa nanginginig na mga kalamnan, ibinagsak ni Adrian ang katawan kay Michelle.

NAPABALIKWAS ng bangon si Michelle nang marinig ang tila nagtatalong tinig. Napangiwi siya nang maramdaman ang pananakit ng kalamnan. Memories of what happened hours ago flashed her mind. A soft smile curved her lip. The pain was nothing compared to the taste of heaven Adrian gave her. Ngayon niya labis na ipinagpapasalamat na hindi siya nagpatangay kay Dexter.

Her heart was singing with happiness that she had given herself to Adrian. The thought of her wantonness last night made her cheeks pink. She had even initiated the second lovemaking. Ni sa panaginip ay hindi niya naisip na may ganoon siyang kakayahang hilingin ang bagay na iyon.

Natuon sa pinto ang pansin niya nang muling maulinigan ang mga nagtatalong tinig. Nang matanto niyang hubad siya'y mabilis niyang hinanap sa kama ang navy bathrobe ni Adrian. Nakita niya iyon sa sahig. Dinampot at mabilis na isinuot. Kasalukuyan niyang itinatali ang sash nang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Adrian. Mamasa-masa ang buhok nito at sa wari ay nakapaligo na. Bihis na rin ito. Kupasing maong at puting sports shirt.

Sandali siya nitong hinagod ng tingin at pagkuwa'y may kislap ng apoy siyang nakitang nakiraan sa mga mata nito.

"Are you all right?" he asked gently.

Nag-init ang mukha niya sa nais nitong tukuyin.

Umiwas siya ng tingin. Lumapit si Adrian at hinawakan siya sa mukha. "There's no need to be shy, Mitch." Hinagkan siya nito sa mga labi, sa panghihinayang niya ay dampi lang ang halik.

Adrian smiled down at her disappointment, correctly guessing her thoughts. "Kung ako ang masusunod ay hindi ko gustong lumabas tayo ng silid na ito sa loob ng isang linggo," he said. "Pero nasa labas sina Virgilio at Tiya Celestina na parehong nag-aalala. Your father was both worried and angry. Nagagalit sa aking hindi kita sa kanya itinuloy. At siya ang naggiit na ngayong hapon na tayo pakakasal."
