Endings and Beginnings

Chapter 16d (SPG)

HINDI na kaya ni Ibarra ang torture. It was no doubt the sweetest but one more movement from Lizzie and he would definitely shatter into a million pieces. Hindi puwedeng mangyari iyon. Hindi muna.

He planted his hands firmly on her hips to stop her. "I'm sorry, babe, but you would have to impress me at some other time," aniya. Pumihit na siya bago pa makapag-protesta si Lizzie. With that one swift move, she was now on her back gazing at him with those beautiful eyes clouded with passion.

Hinawi niya ang buhok nitong bahagyang nakatabing sa mukha nito. Napalunok siya. Nag-init ang sulok ng mga mata niya. Just looking at her with her long hair splayed on his pillow stirred emotions inside him he never knew still existed.

Bahagya itong ngumiti. Alanganin iyon.

He gave her a reassuring smile before he bent down and kissed her forehead. Kasabay niyon ay hinaplos niya ang balakang nito. His hand then slid down at the back of her left thigh. Bahagya niyang inangat iyon bago iniyakap sa likod nito ang isang kamay niya.

Humawak ito sa balikat niya.

He looked straight into her eyes before he eased onto her.

Kasabay ng pagsinghap nito ay ang pagpikit nito. "There never was anybody else, Ibarra..."

Natigilan siya. Maang na napatitig siya dito. What she had said tugged at his heart. No, hindi lang 'yon ang epekto ng sinabi nito. It almost knocked him senseless.

Kung sakali mang nagkaroon ito na kaugnayan sa iba sa mga nakalipas na taon, wala naman siyang magagawa doon. And if asked, he would most probably be inclined to say that whatever happened in the past did not matter anymore. Pero magsisinungaling siya kapag sinabi niya na hindi matatawarang kasiyahan ang dala ng sinabi nitong iyon. He could not help but feel humbled by the thought that no other man had ever touched her the way he had. Na tila hinintay siya nito. Na tila siya lang ang gusto nito. "I know, babe," aniya. "I know..."

Ngumiti ito ngunit nanatili itong nakapikit. She then molded her body against his.

He knew that was his cue. Sunod-sunod na ang naging paggalaw niya. Hindi mabilis, hindi mabagal. Nananantya. Ibinabase niya iyon sa higpit ng yakap ni Lizzie sa kanya. Just like what he had done on the countless times that he had made love to her.

"Ibarra..." muling anas nito. Naramdaman na niya ang pagdaklot nito sa balikat niya.

"You go first, baby," bulong niya. Nilabanan niya ang pagnanais na tingnan ang magandang mukha nito. He knew what would happen if he did. The passion in her eyes would lead to his downfall and to her disappointment. He focused on the task at hand – to bring her to that magical place only he could ever bring her. Only he had ever brought her.

"God... Ibarra... please don't stop." She was now whimpering. She was tenderly biting his left earlobe.

"I won't babe... I wont..." anas niya.

"Ibarra! Ibarra, baby!" impit na tili nito kasabay ng pagyakap na nito nang mahigpit sa kanya.

He knew it was now the perfect time. "Look at me, babe," bulong niya habang walang tigil pa rin sa paggalaw.

Tumalima ito at nagtama ang mga mata nila. The half-smile-half-grimace expression on her face made her a lot more beautiful. He had known long ago that Lizzie was most beautiful when she was at the throes of passion. At tanging siya lang ang nakakakita sa kagandahang iyon.

Yumuko siya at isinubsob na ang mukha sa pagitan ng leeg at balikat nito.
