A The Mark Of A Stallion Novel:CLAIMING THE VIRGIN'S BLOOD (Published)

Chapter 9.2

Sa halip na idiretso si Yvonne sa kanyang mansion ay dinala niya ito sa Tagaytay Medical Center. Agad naman itong tiningnan ng resident physician doon. Mabuti na lang at mga galos at maliliit na sugat lang dahil sa mga bubog ang naging pinsala dito.

Pagkatapos ay ipinasya niyang iuwi sa mansion ang dalaga. Alam niyang mas ligtas ito sa loob ng mansion sa gabing ito pero hindi ito mananatiling ligtas hanggang nananatili ito sa Tagaytay kung kaya plano niyang pabalikin agad ito sa Maynila kinabukasan.

While driving, he called up Major Mondragon to tell his encounter with the Viking. Then, he called up the governess of the mansion to prepare the guest room for Yvonne.

Nang makarating sa mansion ay binuhat niya ang dalaga patungo sa guest room. Nang maibaba sa kama ay inutusan niya si Evelyn na linisin at bihisan ito. Nagtataka man ay sumunod naman agad ang governess. Pagkatapos ay ipinatawag niya ang lahat ng security guard ng Montreal property upang pagbilinan ang mga ito na pag-ibayuhin ang pagbabantay sa paligid. Alam niya na higit kailanman ay ngayon siya dapat maging mas maingat lang-alang sa kaligtasan ng dalaga. He thanked God for saving her from the hands of the Viking. If he was destined to protect her from the Viking and other dangers, he would gladly accept this responsibility.

Nang sinabi ni Evelyn na maayos na si Yvonne ay bumalik siyang muli sa silid nito. She was still aslept. Napalitan na ang suot na damit nito, maayos na ang kanina ay magulong buhok nito at nalinis na rin ang maliliit na sugat sa mukha.

He gaped at the adorable face of the woman he desired. She was here again in his place. Kung bakit ilang beses niyang pinagtangkaang hanapin ito ay hindi naman niya magawa at ito pa ang kusang pumupunta sa kanyang teritoryo. The second time was no longer a coincidence. There must be a plan for the two of them. May nakatakda bang misyon na kailangang harapin nilang dalawa?

He felt that he liked Yvonne now more than before especially when he saw her hopeless and was on the brink of danger. Kung may mangyayaring masama muli kay Yvonne, hinding-hindi niya mapapatawad ang kanyang sarili.

Maingat niyang hinaplos ng kanyang palad ang maamo nitong mukha. He felt the urge to kiss her. Dahan-dahan niyang inilapit ang mukha dito. Then, he planted a gentle kiss on her rosy lips. He enjoyed his feminine scent for a while. He also felt the urge to run down his lips to her cheeks down to her neck.

Ngunit bigla ay para siyang napapaso na lumayo dito. He felt his straining manhood under his pants. Ganoon katindi ang dating ng babaeng ito sa kanya. Halik lang dito ay sapat na upang gisingin ang kanyang pagkalalaki.

Dali-dali siyang lumabas ng silid. He shook his head when he closed the door behind him. My God! He could have raped her if he did not control himself.

Kinabukasan ay ganoon na lang ang gulat ni Yvonne nang magising siyang nasa loob ng isang napakalaking silid. Mabuti na lang at eksaktong pumasok ng silid si Evelyn.

"Good morning, Miss Yvonne," bati nito na nakangiti sa kanya. "Sir Sandro is waiting for you for the breakfast."

"Sandro? Where am I? Who are you?"

"I am Evelyn, you are now here in Montreal mansion."

"Montreal mansion? Narito ako sa mansyon ni Sandro Montreal?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya.

"Yes, Miss Yvonne. According to sir Sandro, he saved you from the hands of the serial rapist-killer last night."

Napamaang siya. Unti-unting nagbalik sa utak niya ang nakakapangilabot na karanasan niya kagabi.

She just passed by the Montreal Museum. Her plan was to look for an inn and to go back to Museum early in the morning. But a tall, muscular Viking warrior suddenly blocked her way. Out of desperation, she hit her car to a huge tree to get rid of the man. Pero pagkatapos noon ay nawalan na siya ng malay at hindi na niya alam ang mga sumunod na pangyayari.

But if Evelyn was right that it was Sandro Montreal who saved her from that mysterious man, well, she must see and thank him.

"Where is he?" she asked half-smiled.

"At the dining area, waiting for you," the governess smiled also.

Humarap sya sa salamin at saglit na inayos ang sarili. In few minutes, she will be facing Sandro Montreal, therefore, she must at least, be presentable in his eyes.

She was wearing a floral baby pink dress. Ito ang ipinampalit ni Evelyn sa maruming suot niya kagabi. Nakakita siya ng baby powder sa tokador. Nag-apply siya nito ng manipis sa kanyang pisngi. She just combed her hair with her fingers.

Naramdaman niya ang sunod-sunod na pagtahip ng dibdib niya. Sanay na siya sa pagririgodon ng dibdib niya sa tuwing makakaharap ang lalaki pero mas malakas ang tibok ng puso niya ngayon.

Nervous but excited, she went downstairs to see Sandro Montreal again for the third time. She promised to herself that this time, she would be nice to him. He was her savior, she must at least show a sincere gratitude for his heroic act.
