Pusong Mamon (Completed)

Chapter Sixteen

TAYLOR had never felt this hot in his whole life. May kung anong hatid na init sa kanya ang asawa. Asawa. Somehow, the word had a deeper meaning to him than what was expected, given the situation. Hindi man inasahan na mauuwi sa ganito ang kanyang pag-aasawa, espesyal pa rin iyon. All because he married the right woman, he believed.

Kasundo niya si Maggie sa maraming bagay. Magkaiba man ang kanilang mundo, sa palagay ni Taylor ay hindi naman ganoon kalaki ang agwat. She was passionate about her family, he liked that about her. Hindi lang iyon, natural ang energy ng babae, hindi tulad ng maraming taong nakakasalamuha niya.

Mulat si Taylor sa katotohanang sa kanyang mundo, magsimula man ang isang tao na puno ng passion sa dibdib, kadalasang kinakain pa rin iyon ng sistema. The fashion and beauty world was probably one of the cruelest there was in the world. It was a struggle to keep up. A lot succumbed to the pressure. Marami ring iba na puno man ng enerhiya pero hindi naman natural, kundi hiram sa kung ano-anong kemikal. Maggie was refreshing. Nakakahawa iyon.

She was also very smart and witty. Hindi siguro iyon alam ng babae dahil madalas nitong sabihin na ang galing daw niya sa maraming bagay. Hindi naiintindihan ni Maggie na ang pagkakaiba lang nila ay ang narating sa edukasyon. If she was given the chance he got, she probably would have been a name everyone knew. Pero hindi lahat ng tao nagkakaroon ng pagkakataon na tulad ng sa kanya.

More than all that, Maggie was so beautiful. And now, seeing her almost naked, he could say that she was very sexy. Hot. Kanina pa halos hindi makapagpigil sa sarili si Taylor. But moving too fast was never his style. Lumaki siya sa piling ng inang hindi nagmamadali sa kahit anong bagay sa mundo. Nadala niya iyon. He always took his time to do things and a lot of the time, he ended up with near perfect products and projects.

Taylor did not like sex. He liked making love. He did not like rules, he did not like taking turns or doing the act without any deeper meaning. matatawa siguro ang mga kabaro niya sa kanyang pananaw. Pero kailan ba niya binigyang-halaga ang iniisip ng ibang tao, lalo na ng mga kabaro?

Gumagalaw siya sa mundong mas marami ang mga babae kaysa sa lalaki. How he disliked men and women who saw women as weak beings, or gays as a separate species. Ilang gay pride parade ba ang nadaluhan niya? Ilang anti-patriarchy movements ang inasikaso? First and foremost, it was his love for his mother that made him understand the role of women in the society. Ang nangyari rin sa kanyang ina mula sa pamilya nito ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit ganoon ang damdamin niya. At ang kanyang ama? Ah, he called him the "sperm donor." Just that.

Taylor's father was one of those who took advantage of women and he took advantage of his mother. Salamat na rin dito at nabuhay siya para sa kanyang ina, para sa buhay na iyon. At sa buhay na iyon, wala man sa usapan at hindi pa man niya napag-iisipang mabuti, parang gusto niyang makasama sa totoong paraan si Maggie.

She tasted sweet; her scent was intoxicating. He gently bit her shoulder. She purred. Kung alam lang ng asawa kung ano ang epekto ng mga mumunting tunog na nagmumula sa mga labi nito, baka isipin nitong hindi siya "gentleman," tulad ng madalas nitong sabihin.

His hand moved down her body, sliding down her side until it reached her thigh. Again, she softly moaned, her hand tightening its grip on his arm.

"Alisin natin..." bulong ni Maggie. She pulled his shirt so that it was no longer tucked inside his pants. Pinabayaan niya itong alisin ang butones niyon. Nang mabuksan ang pang-itaas, lumapat ang mga palad nito sa kanyang balat. "Shit, ang macho mo naman. Nakakainis."

Natawa siya. "Nakakainis?"

Bumuntong-hininga ang asawa. "Kiss mo na ako uli."

Sumunod si Taylor sa hiling nito, pero sa pagkakataong iyon ay tinukso lang niya ang mga labi ni Maggie, saka ibinaba ang mga labi sa leeg nito. He took his time kissing her neck, her shoulders... until his lips went down her breasts. Mabilis niyang na-unhook ang pang-itaas nitong panloob.
