Bared and Restrained (EROTIC ROMANCE)

Chapter 22

HUMAGANGOS na bumangon ng kama si Eve at dumuwal sa sink na nasa loob ng banyo.

She threw up everything. Wala na siyang mai-suka pero pakiramdam niya’y gusto niya pang ilabas ang kung anomg pwede niyang mailabas sa kanyang sikmura.

She felt weak after that. Kaagad siyang binuhat ni Hefner na mukhang kakagising lang ata dahil hindi man lang ito nakapagsuot ng damit.

“Are you okay?” His eyes roamed on her body worriedly.

She nodded and burried her face on his chest, inhaling his scent.

“Sleep, Eva. You look exhausted.”

Marahan siyang tumango at nagpa-karga kay Hefner. She really is sick. Dahil nanghihina siya at parang mabubuwal sa kinatatayuan. She feel drained and dizzy.

“I needed to go to Makati today for a meeting. Pero sa kalagayan mo ngayon? Parang hindi kita kayang iwan rito.”

“O-Okay lang ako.” She muttered. “Itutulog ko lang ito at baka napagod lang ako kagabi.” And then, she chuckled at the memories she had with him last night. How she came while shouting his name in delirium. How he groaned in triumphant when she rode him mindless after the first round. His room was filled with erotic sounds last night and it sated the both of them ’til midnight.

He laughed softly. “Oh, yeah. Last night. We did it wild last night, hmm?” He kissed her crown. “Pero tawagan mo ako kapag lumala. We have a family doctor on call.”

She hugged him tight. “I love you.” Hindi niya alam kung bakit bigla siyang naging emosyonal. She just felt like saying those words.

“I know. Kaya hindi kita mapapatawad kapag hinayaan mong lumala ang sakit mo.” He heaved a sigh. “Kung hindi lang importante ang lakad ko ay hinding-hindi kita iiwanang mag-isa ngayon. JM went with Evan to school. Siya muna ang magiging temporary nanny ni Evan hanggang sa makakuha tayo ng mapagkakatiwalaan. And that means, my schedule is a jumbled-up mess right now lalo na’t si JM lang ang pinagkakatiwalaan kong mag-ayos no’n para sa’kin.”

She looked up on him. “Bakit nga ba si JM lang ang pinagkakatiwalaan mo sa mga bagay na gano’n?”

He shrugged. “Maybe because she has a heart of a child?” he smiled. “…like you. She reminds me of you. At itinuturing ko siyang nakababatang kapatid. A sister that I wished I had.” He kissed her slightly-opened mouth and he groaned. “You taste like vomit.”

“So kapatid rin ang turing mo sa’kin?”

“That’s what I’ve thought more than a decade ago. But I would never make love to you if what you were saying was true. Incest is not my thing.”

Natawa silang pareho.

He gently lay her down to bed. Then, he walked towards the bathroom in all his naked glory like a perfectly-carved wooden statue similar to a greek god.

She sighed dreamily and gently crawled to the pillows, savoring the comfort of the expensive white sheets on her nakedness.

She inhaled the scent and then she smiled when she inhaled Hefner’s scent combined with hers. Naaadik na siya sa amoy ng higaan kaya nanatili siyang nakadapa at sinasamyo ang amoy ng mga kobre-kama at hindi niya namalayang unti-unti na pala siyang kinakain ng antok.

The only thing she remembered was being kissed by Hefner together with his whispers of sweet goodbyes. At dahil pakiramdam niya ay pagod na pagod siya ay tanging tango na lamang ang naitugon niya sa kasintahan bago siya nakarinig ng pagbukas at pagsara ng pintuan.

EVE woke up and it’s nearly dawn. Nagpapasalamat siya dahil bumuti ang kanyang pakiramdam.

Nang lumabas siya sa kwarto ay kaagad siyang pinapunta ni Suzan sa greenhouse na nasa tabi ng lanai sa likuran ng bahay.
