Taming the Vampire

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE

M I L L E R

Natigilan si Axel, malamang dahil ito sa narinig niya mula sa akin. Sinubukan ko na makita ang mukha. Pero sa palagay ko ay nahihiya siya. Sa akin man o sa buong sitwasyon ay hindi ako sigurado. Sa sobrang hiya niya ay umiwas ulit siya ng tingin at humingi ng tawad gamit ang mahinang boses.

"I-I'm sorry."

When I heard his shy voice, my body automatically responded. Napa-kapit ako ng mahigpit sa kamay ni Axel. Hindi ito ang sagot na inaasahan ko. Sa dami ng iniisip ko sa sandaling ito, mula sa biglaan na pag-amin ni Axel, hanggang sa pagpigil ko sa kanya, ay hindi na rin gumagana ng maayos ang isipan ko. I just want all the thoughts and feelings to be freed. Gusto ko na rin na umamin.

"I should've shut my mouth." Tumingala ako nang marinig ang boses ni Axel. It was a very quiet voice. He was whispering already. Nakalimutan niya ata na isa na akong bampira. I can hear even the tiniest sound in the room. Pero huli na ang lahat para sa kanya, nasabi na niya ang nararamdaman niya. I just wish I can also do the same now.

"What are you talking about?" tanong ko.

I am still confused by Axel's unexpected response.

I can no longer hold it in. If confessing in silent haste was the answer, I would want to do that. Pero nagawa na ito ni Axel and it only made things more awkward.

So, I decided to take it a little slower than he did.

"Hindi mo ba naiintindihan, Axel?" Lumingon si Axel sa akin. I wasn't expecting that my voice would come out too serious than I intended them to be.

But I guess I am more serious to Axel than I thought I would be.

Lumingon si Axel, at sa sandaling nagtagpo ang mga mata namin ay tila ba may tumawid na kuryente sa aming kamay. Ngunit, imbes na bumitaw ay mas hinigpitan ko pa ang paghawak kay Axel at hinatak ito palapit sa akin.

"Mill– hmph!" I grabbed his slender yet firm waist towards me and kissed him.

If he can't get what driving me crazy means, I hope he can understand what a kiss could imply.

After a long time, I finally felt his lips. Soft and warm.

I can feel his body stiffen. Siguro nagulat siya sa ginawa ko. Well, hindi na rin ito nakapagtataka. It is him who always kisses me first.

I gently moved my lips and gasped, pulling his lips closer to mine. Narinig ko rin siya na suminghap, but that was a brief one as I started to move my tongue. It slither to slip between Axel's lips.

"Hmngh!" Axel is trying to push me. But I just pulled his waist closer to me, and grabbed his neck to deepen our kiss.

The only sound that echoes in the dark room is the smacking of our wet lips and the occasional gasping of desire. The room, despite the air conditioner, feels hot and warm... and a little dewy. As if our warm breaths changed from vapor to liquid, enveloping our bodies.

Ilang sandali lang ang nahinto na sa pagpupumiglas si Axel. Now, I can feel his tongue is starting to mingle with mine. It's soft and wet. This is not our first-time kissing, but it feels so fresh. Especially if both of us share the same yearning.

I honestly don't know how to do it with a man. Siya ang kauna-unahan na lalaki na nagustuhan ko... and the first person I felt this extreme fire to own.

This is crazy!

He is driving me crazy.

"MMM-Miller," he moaned in between our kisses.

Bumitaw na ako, but we are still an inch close to each other.

"Miller, y-you don't hav— hmn." I kissed him again. It was just for a short while. It is definitely shallower than the first one.
