Dela Cuesta Series #2: Captured By You [COMPLETED]

Kabanata VIII

Mabilis kong itinigil ang aking mga paa sa paghakbang ng tuluyan nang nakalayo roon. My heart was pumping too much like it was pleading to escape from my ribs. Mahigpit akong humawak sa dibdib ko habang inaaninag ang pwesto niya.

Tulad kanina ay wala pa ring tao roon na sigurado akong abala na sa pag-aayos.

"Hey!" my heart hummered more as I heard a man's voice. Nang balingan ko kung kanino nanggaling ang boses na iyon ay kusa akong gumawa ng distansya sa kanya para makaiwas sa mapanghusgang chismis na naman ng mga tao na narito.

"Conor," I acknowledged him. He smiled and glanced at the direction of my eyes earlier.

Nangunot ang noo nito at tila inaaninag ang lalaki na kanina ko pa rin tinitignan. "You knew him? "

I just nodded my head. Itinuon ko na lang ang mata ko sa mga abalang modelo na nakikita ko sa aking kinatatayuan.

Biglang umingay ang paligid,dulot ng malalaking speakers na nasa paligid —sign that the program will begin in just a few minutes.

"Hinahanap ka ni Selene." Inilapit ni Conor ang bibig nito sa aking tenga at bahagya pang nilakasan ang boses.

Tumango ako at tumingin muli sa paligid para hanapin si Selene ngunit ibang pares ng mga mata ang nadatnan ko. His eyes were glaring at me and the man beside me making my heart throb in nervousness.

"Nasa harapan siya ng stage. " Muli, ay inilapit nito ang bibig para 'di kami mahirapan magkarinigan ngunit wala na sa kanyang sinasabi ang atensyon ko kung hindi nasa lalaking ngayon ay mabibigat ang hakbang na patungo sa akin.

Napaigtad ako nang may mainit na palad akong narandaman na humawak sa aking balikat. Conor laughed and held up his arms,surrendering.

Pero bago pa ako gumawa ng hakbang para makalayo ay napasandal na ako sa isang matigas na bagay kasabay nang mainit na braso na bumalot sa aking bewang. "I guess you are holding someone's property. " Mabilis na kumabog ang dibdib ko nang marinig ang init at intensidad sa pamilyar na boses na kumain sa katahimikan.

Tumingin ako kay Conor, humihingi ng tawad na agad naman nitong naintindihan.  He even smirked and take a look back at Khielve who's still shout possesiveness all over.

Pasimple kong hinawakan ang braso niya na nakayakap sa akin para sana tanggalin pero masyado niyang hinigpitan ang pagkakahawak dito.

"Kelsie is a smart woman. I bet she will know if she truly belongs to someone," puno ng kasarkastikuhang pahayag ni Conor habang sinusukat ng tingin si Khielve.

Khielve narrowed his eyes, his lips pursed before he smirked. "Maybe she was just too respective to hurt your man's ego."

Marahan akong humakbang palapit kay Conor. His lips was in thin line and his hands were formed into fist. I shrugged sign that he should stop and he nodded making me took a sigh.

Tuluyan ko na sanang hahakbangin ang distansya naming dalawa para na rin mapakalma siya pero mas humigpit ang pagkakabalot ni Khielve sa aking braso gamit lamang ang kamay niya. I glanced at the hand that was gripping my right arm before looking directly at his blank face. Kapansin-pansin ang hikaw na nasa gilis ng labi niya nang marahan niyang pinagdikit ang mga ito.

"Who's he? "malamig na tanong niya.

I gulped as I felt the chills but I tried to remain my composure. I secretly took a deep breath before fighting his cold stares. "Kung sino man siya, wala ka ng pakielam. "

He smirked and gripped my arm even tighter before nodding. I flinched. "Naghalikan na tayo, kaya technically you gave me the rights..." he boldly said. Umigting ang kanyang panga at ngumisi pagkatapos. Tumutok ang kanyang mga mata pagkatapos.

Mabilis na nag-init ang mukha ko at nakita ko pa sa gilid ng aking mga mata ang pagngisi ng palihim ni Conor.

"Ano ba Khielve," suway ko sa kanya.

He placed his hands on his short's pocket.  Kinain nito ang distansya naming dalawa ataka bahagya pang yumuko para maa mapalapit ang mukha niya sa akin. Wala itong pakielam sa tao na nasa likuran ko lang. I owned his eyes and he looked at me like I was an important treasure for him. "We kissed and you kissed back," he sensually said. "Alam mo kung ano ang ibig sabihin non, Kelsie."

"What are you talking about?" maang kong tanong. I tried to sound normal but his lips curved more as he heard how I broke my voice.

He tucked my hair behind my ears before slowly carressing it. "Once I marked your lips, I also marked your soul."

"I'm. Not. Yours. " I rolled my eyes before placing my arms in front. "Akin ang sarili ko."

His smirk was still visible. Nadedepina ang kanyang panga at ang kanyang hikaw sa uri ng pagngisi niya. His arms were crossed across his chest with a smile crept on his lips like he was watching a very entertaining show in front of him. "You knew my rules... "he whispered before bending slightly and gently licked the side of my ears. "Kissing you means having you in my arms again. "

"Let's go," Conor offered his hand. Mabilis ko itong tinanggap. Khielve's gripped loses hanggang sa tuluyan ko ng maramdaman ang lamig dahil sa pagkakawala mula sa pagkakahawak.

"You are mine Kelsie. Always mine... " I brushed my hands on my face because of embarrassment. Iniwas ko ang mga mata ko sa lalaki na nakangisi sa aking tabi.

"Paano kayo nagkakilala? " Napatigil ako sa paghakbang at napasipa nang isang beses sa buhangin. Nasa puting buhangin lang ang aking mga mata na iniiwasan talaga na mapalingon.

I smiled a bit and continue to stepped forward. "We are collegues before we moved here. "

He nodded gently.  Mukhang malalim din ang nasa isip dahil kinain na kami ng katahimikan. "Well, Dela Cuesta is a well- known family. The fact that he knows you means something. "

Well, I know what he meant by that. I upcurved my lips and walked forward as I saw Selene who was waving at me.

Napangiwi pa ako ng bahagya nang makita siyang buhat si Lucas habang parang nakalunok na s'ya ng pakwan dahil sa laki ng kanyang tiyan. "Hindi ka ba nahihirapan? " nag-aalala kong tanong.

She laughed and poked my arms jokingly. Nakita ko pa ang pagtabi ni Conor sa asawa at marahang paghawak nito sa baywang niya para alalayan. "Naku hindi. I want to be a hands-on mom on my children. "

Napangiti ako sa kanyang sinabi. I always want to have a family like hers.

"How many children do you want?" I open my eyes and looked at the man who was busy playing with my hair. I was leaning on his chest whilst we are only covered with his black sheets.

He smirked before kissing my forehead. "Kahit ilan basta ikaw ang nanay."

I pouted and feel his fingers gently stroking my long wavy hair. I also felt his nose nibbling it. "I want three. "I pinch his nipple making him curse softly before I chuckle. "Two boys and a girl."

"What my queen wants will surely what my queen gets," he declared. "But before that, I wanna see how beautiful you are whilst walking on the aisle with a white gown."

I rolled my eyes before getting up.  Inayos ko ang kumot para matakpan ang katawan ko bago siya harapin. "Is that an indirect proposal? "

He laughed and pulled me making me leaned again on him. "No. I just want you to know that, the moment I marked your lips is the moment I also marked your soul," he said. "You are mine to begin with and you will be mine in the end. "
