Fruitcake Sanctuary (GL)

Chapter Thirty Seven 🥦

Sinugod ko ng halik si Cece pagkapasok na pagkapasok pa lang namin ng kwarto. It wasn't just passion; it was a desperate reclamation.

Being with her all day has been one giant turn-on, but more than that, it was a slow torture of wanting to be this close. I couldn't believe she was finally mine again.

​"I love you, Cece... I love you," bulong ko sa gitna ng mga hininga namin.

​I let my lips explore the familiar map of her neck, memorizing the pulse point that throbbed against my skin.

I want to swallow her whole. Hindi sapat yung tinitignan ko lang siya. Gusto kong pumasok sa ilalim ng balat niya, para kahit saan siya pumunta, bitbit niya ako.

This isn't just lust; it's a spiritual hunger. Parang ulong-ulo ako sa pag-ibig na walang ibang lunas kundi ang haplos niya.

​"And I love you more, my Panda," she hummed, her voice vibrating against my chest.

Sinuklay ko ang buhok niya pataas, exposing the nape of her neck. I kissed her there, on that sensitive spot that always made her surrender.

The inexplicable pull I've always felt toward her was vibrating through the air..stronger, louder, and more inevitable than ever.

​"What do you want, Cece?" I asked huskily, my forehead resting against hers.

​"Everything," she answered, her voice a command and a plea all at once. Her hand shot out, tugging me closer by my shirt, erasing the last few inches of distance.

​I enveloped her. Our mouths met, and our tongues tangled in a graceful polonaise..a dance of two souls finally finding their rhythm again after years of silence.

If my body was a house, Cece just turned on all the lights. Everything is buzzing. My rationality is drowning in the tide of her scent..that mix of blueberries and something uniquely 'Cece.'

I want to be slow, to worship her like a relic, but my heart is beating like it's trying to break through my ribs just to be closer to hers.

​Sinubukan kong bagalan ang lahat. I needed to cherish her. Gusto kong sabihin sa kanya lahat ng nararamdaman ko nang hindi gumagamit ng kahit isang salita.

I wanted to worship her body until she had no doubt left..na hinding-hindi ko na siya itutulak palayo. I wanted her to know for certain that she was put on this earth for me, as I was for her.

Naging isa muli ang mga labi namin, a longing reunion that tasted like salt and honey. Cece groaned into my mouth, a sound that lit every last nerve ending on fire.

I kissed her so hard it knocked the wind from both of us, pulling her body flush against mine until I couldn't tell where I ended and she began.

​"Lights on," bulong ko, pulling back just enough to see her.

​I wanted to see her. Every. Last. Inch. I wanted the light to testify to the beauty of this moment. That lustful, loving glare of hers was enough to make my knees weak.

I don't want the shadows to hide anything. I want to see the way her skin flushes, the way her eyes turn golden under the glow of the lamp.

I want to memorize the constellation of moles on her shoulders.

Every scar, every curve..I'm claiming it all back. This is the only geography that matters to me now.

​I beckoned her with my finger, a playful challenge in the middle of the heat. She crashed back into my arms, her lips frenzied, starving for mine.

Sa mabilis na galaw ng pangyayari we tug, kiss, and pull. Nasilaglagan na ang mga damit namin sa sahig patungo sa aming destinasyon.

​We lay on the bed, both bare, skin-to-skin at last. The cool air of the room was a
sharp contrast to the fever of our bodies. I continued to explore her mouth, reclaiming her soul with every breath I took from her.
