Craving the Thorns (Monforte Series #1) (COMPLETED)

Kabanata 44

Fiance

I hugged him back. I owned his lips like I'd never owned it before. It tastes like wine. Different from the taste that I have tasted before. But one thing I'm sure of... is that this is his. This is his lips—the lips of the man I wanted to marry. Iisa lang at wala nang iba.

I kissed him passionately as he kissed me with hunger. He's sucking my lower lip relentlessy... like he missed it. Ramdam ko ang panggigigil sa kaniyang hawak. He's pressing my body like I'm going to escape... which I'm not. Ni hindi ko na rin maintindihan dahil para akong nanghihina. Kaya hindi nakakatulong na dikit na dikit ang katawan naming dalawa... dahil para akong naiinitan.

I reached for his nape. Dumiin lalo ang halik. I heard him groan that made me hotter. At hindi ko na namalayan... na nakakulong na pala siya sa dalawa kong binti.

I didn't even notice. Siya ba ang naglagay sa akin dito o ako... ang sumampa?

Sinuklay niya ang aking buhok bago niya 'yon hinila ng marahan. Our kiss stopped. My lips were still in hunger mode but my instincts were just obeying him. He pulled my hair back that it exposed my neck for his sight. Hinabol ko ang aking hininga nang maramdaman ko ang paghalik niya doon. I felt his tounge flicker on my sensitive neck... that made my nipple soar.

I held his head. Pinapahiwatig na ituloy lang ang ginagawa. Umikot ang mata ko sa likod dahil sa sensasyon na nararamdaman. I felt his lips conquering my neck that I felt like I'm on the edge already! Ni hindi pa nga naipapasok!

"Do you want to do this?" he whispered on my neck.

The electricity inside my body were burning. Napabaling ako sa kaniya at halos kagatin ko ang labi ko nang makita kung gaanong lasing na lasing ang kaniyang mata habang nakaangat ang tingin sa'kin.

"Yeah," I answered.

His adams apple moved. He's having a hard time containing himself. Lalo pa't... ako ang nakaupo sa kaniya... at siya ang nakaangat ng tingin sa'kin.

"We're not done talking, though."

Taas baba ang dibdib niya. Gano'n din ang akin. And every time our chest touched each other... I can help but feel his manhood that's been enveloped by my pearl. Only the hem of my underwear and his pants were stopping it from happening.

"Well, if you want to stop... I will."

His eyes flicker. Fuck! Ako pa yata ang nag-iinitiate ngayon!

I looked at him. His eyes were still drunk because of my kisses. Nakaawang din ang labi na para bang naghahabol ng hininga.

Napakurap-kurap ako at pinilig ang ulo. I tried to relax to bring back my sanity, dahil mukhang ako lang ang may gusto nito. I smiled at him reassuringly and slowly removed myself from straddling him but his arms were just... not cooperating.

Hindi ko alam kung mabigat lang talaga ang braso niya kaya hindi pa rin natatanggal ang yakap niya sa'kin o...

I touched his arms. Siguro ay 'yon ang paraan para matanggal ang pagkakahawak niya sa likuran ko pero ni hindi man lamang 'yon gumalaw.

"Fuck! You got the wrong idea!" mariin niyang sinabi kaya napatingin ako.

"H-Huh?"

"I... was asking you... because I don't want you to think that I'm taking advantage. Gusto mo bang mag-usap muna tayo bago... ito?" napapikit siya. "God!"

Kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa reaksyon niya. "Why would I get the wrong idea?"

He looked at me, frustrated. "We're not done talking. We haven't forgiven each other. Isn't it unfair that we're... doing this... while we're enemies?"
