He was holding a black collar just like the last time. But it was much larger than the last. Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. We did it before but why it was scary this time? Dahil ba iba ang galit niya saakin?
Zach half smiled. "Are you afraid, Iris?" tanong niya habang pinaglalaruan ang hawak sa harap ko.
I was almost catching my breath. "No," I lied.
"Do you still trust me?" he asked, then lowered down so we were level.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit niya tinatanong. Alam kong alam niya kung anong sagot ko kahit ganito ang sitwasyon namin.
"I do..." I stared at him. "Even if you're mad at me right now, I still trust you."
His eyes darkened. "Trust and honesty are big words, Iris. You can't just say you are when you're feeling not. You have to be honest so you'll avoid getting hurt."
Napalunok ako. Parang nawala lahat ng alak sa katawan ko. "M-masaktan, Zach?"
"Yes," he said. "I need to know your limitation and when to stop." He was still playing with the collar. "Let's use a safeword this time."
Narinig ko nanaman ang pagtunog ng kadena sa kamay niya. Nagsitayuan lalo ang mga balahibo ko. Safeword? Ngayon ko lang narinig kay Zach iyan, I didn't know what it was and what it was used for.
"P-para saan? Hindi ko maintindihan..."
Ngumiti si Zach, he placed the collar on the table.
He caressed my face. "A safeword will you an authority to stop me when you think you can't take something anymore and you want me to stop. No matter how carried away I would be, I will stop."
Napapikit ako nang bumaba ang hawak sa leeg ko, pababa sa pagitan ng dibdib ko.
"Pick now..." he whispered to my ears.
I was torn between thinking what should I choose and absorbing my situations. Was this meant I also had the control over him?
"Choose one now," he interrupted my thoughts, getting impatient.
Napadilat naman ako dahil sa pagiging bossy niya. This was new. Kahit na punishment nanaman ang gagawin namin, there was a part of me that found it kinda exciting. Am I getting weirder everyday?
"Any word?" I asked.
"Yes, any word, Iris," he answered seriously.
Ano bang salita ang pwede kong gamitin para mapatigil si Zach? I couldn't just use that word when I wanted to. It must be very intimidating na titigil talaga siya sa kahit anong gawin niya kapag narinig niyang binanggit ko na.
I smiled like a sweet child. "Levi."
He was shocked for a second but his expression changed after awhile. "Good choice of word, Iris. You never fail to surprise me," he said then grabbed the collar once again.
"A-are you still mad at me?" Mahinahong tanong ko.
He inhaled sharply at dumako ang bibig niya sa gilid ng mukha ko. He bit my earlobe gently. "Yes, I am. Nothing can make me feel at ease unless we're done doing this."
"I'm really sorry, Zach..." bulong ko. "Hindi ko sinasadya kanina, nandoon kasi si Romeo--"
"Shh. I don't want to hear your reason," bulong niya sa tainga ko.
Kahit hindi na ako halos makahinga sa ginagawa niya. I still managed to talk and stared at him. "Kailan mo papakinggan ang rason ko?"
"That depends how this one go..."
