Bring It On, Detective

QY

"B-BAKIT KAYA MAHILIG maglaplapan ang mga tao kahit walang label?" Elisheva muttered in a raspy voice while he was kissing her neck. "Ah, Shantrie—"

He cut off her statement by kissing her lips, at kaagad naman nitong niyakap ang mga braso sa kanyang leeg. Naramdaman niyang pinaglalaruan nito ang kanyang buhok at mas lalong hinapit ang kanyang ulo papalapit.

He smirked in between their kisses, recalling what she had just said. Hinalik-halikan niya ang sulok ng labi nito papuntang panga. Ellie's heavy breathing filled his ears, and it sounded like music to him.

Fuck. This woman is really capable of making him go so goddamn crazy.

He reached her earlobe, at marahan niya iyong kinagat. The woman shivered underneath him and let out a raspy breath.

"Hmm, why do you think so?" he asked through his labored breathing.

Matagal itong nagsalita na para bang ninanamnam ang pagtanim niya ng mga maliliit na halik sa panga nito. "K-Kasi. . . masarap. L-Landian muna tayo. S-Saka na ang label," nahahapong saad nito at napasabunot sa buhok niya. Natawa siya nang mahina sa narinig.

Ayaw pa nito ng label. Gusto pa nitong maglandian.

He kissed her cheek down to the corner of her lips. "If I pursue you, will you—"

Kinurot nito ang kanyang bewang. "Landian nga muna kasi. Handa ako sa landian. Sa pursue-pursue na 'yan, hindi pa. I just. . . don't see the point of it. You're mine, and I'm yours. Need pa ba talaga ng label?" She cupped his cheek and kissed his lips as if asking him to drop the topic and just. . . focus on kissing her.

But his mind kept on repeating her words.

You're mine, and I'm yours.

Napangiti na lang siya at saka tinugon ang halik nito, entering his tongue inside her mouth and exploring its sweetness. His other hand went inside her shirt, caressing her soft and creamy skin. They made out a lot of times, but this is his first time to caress what's underneath her loose shirt. Mas lalong umigting ang kanyang kagustuhan na angkinin ito. . . but now is not the right time.

Hindi muna.

Lumayo siya saglit. Isinandal niya ang noo sa noo nito at pinagdikit ang tungkil ng kanilang mga ilong. He's breathing her, and she's doing the same to him.

Damn. He loves breathing her, her warm breath entering the gap between his lips.

"Ellie," he said through heavy breathing as his fingers went to the hem of her shirt. "Can I take this off?"

He pulled apart and looked at her. Nagmulat ito ng mga mata at ang dibdib ay nagtaas-baba. Desire was evident in her eyes, but it was mixed with hesitation.

He gave her a gentle smile to assure her that it's fine. He doesn't want to do anything against her will.

Hindi pa ito handa, at nirerespeto niya iyon.

He respects Ellie.

She licked her moist lips and let out a small smile as her fingers laced through his necktie. Pulling his necktie, napalapit siya rito at sunod-sunod itong umiling. Gumuhit ang sari-saring emosyon sa mga mata nito. . . and he can see it.

He can sense her vulnerability, which made his forehead knot.

"T-Thank you for asking for my consent." 'Di nakatakas sa kanyang paningin ang panginginig ng mga labi nito na kaagad nitong kinagat.

He sighed and caressed her cheek, giving her a tender smile. "Your consent matters, Ellie. Now, what do you want me to do, hmm?" He kissed her forehead and caressed her hair.
