Slave to Love

CHAPTER 15

Orja felt hanging by a thread.

Adon seemed to be very different from the Adon she was with the last weeks.

Nang gabing mag-dinner sila at inakala niyang makikipaghiwalay ito sa kanya, she felt there was something new and different with Adon.

She can still feel chills down her bones dahil na rin kakaibang awra ng lalake ng gabing iyon.

It was a dangerous kind of aura but enchanting and alluring at the same time.

"I am not going to break up with you Ja, but I want to make everything clear between us." His face was deadly serious.

"But let's order and eat first." Pagpapatuloy nito.

Nakahinga siya ng maluwag sa sinabi ng lalake.

Napakasagwa naman kasi na kung kailan pa siya unti-unting nadedevelop dito ay saka naman ito makikipag-break. 

At isang magandang senyales para sa kanya na gusto nitong klaruhin ang namamagitan sa kanila.

As a normal woman, just like the others, mas gusto niya pa rin na may label ang kanilang relasyon.

Awkward silence ang namayani sa pagitan nila habang kumakain and it was definitely uncomfortable for her.

Pakiramdam niya ay may nakabadyang panganib sa uri ng ambience na mayroon sa pagitan nila.

Nang matapos silang kumain ay may inilahad na folder sa kanya si Adon.

Napakunot ang kanyang noo habang binubuksan ang nasabing folder.

"NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT?" She read the bold letters at the top most of the paper inside the folder.

Napatingin siya kay Adon na sinenyasan lang siyang ipagpatuloy ang pagbabasa.

"This agreement is meant to encourage safe and consensual sexual exploration, to open up communication and help both parties get the sex life they want.

Marahas na napatingin si Ja kay Adon matapos mabasa and unang paragraph sa dokumento.

"Finish reading it first before you react or say anything against it."

Pinigilan niya ang sariling bulyawan ang lalake.

Nababaliw na siguro ito kung iniisip nitong pipirmahan niya ang dokumentong hawak niya.

"I am trying my best to be calm as of the moment." May diin niyang sagot, nagngangalit ang bagang.

"Okay. You can maybe finish reading it later when you go home. "

She gritted her teeth as she listened to Adon.

"I really like you, Ja. But I've been in and out of relationship." Adon paused for a bit and meet her eyes intently.

"Napakarami ko ng babae nakilala and  don't want to sound arrogant but I've already have d a lot of bad experiences when it comes to women, Ja. And I just want to make sure that whatever we have right now will continue as long as it's consensual."

Sa sinabi ni Adon ay dahan-dahang pinakawalan ni Ja ang ni hindi niya napansin na pinipigilang hininga.

It must have been not so good on Adon's part.

Ikwenento pa nito ang mga di magagandang karanasan nito sa mga nakalipas nitong mga nobya.

"And I also have some defined taste in sex."
