(Part 1 - Worried Husband)

— Stress is a common marriage problem that most couples will face at least once within their relationship. Stress within a relationship can be caused by many different situations and instances, including financial, family, mental, and illness. Stress is triggered by many different things. How it is managed and handled could create bigger problems, thus, more stress. —

Two years ago...

"You are losing weight."

Nahinto sa paglalakad si Demani papasok sa banyo nang marinig ang sinabi ng asawa. Humarap siya at ipinatong ang mga kamay sa bewang. She was standing there, naked in front of her husband as he lay down on their bed. Ang isang kamay nito ay naka-alalay sa ulo at ang makapal na kumot ay naka-takip sa ibabang bahagi ng katawan nito.

It was early in the morning and she got up to prepare breakfast. Ang akala niya ay tulog pa ang asawa noong bumangon niya. Marahil ay nagising ito nang tanggalin niya ang pagkakayakap ng braso nito sa kaniya.

"Talaga ba?" aniya saka niyuko at sinuri ang sarili.

"Are you trying to lose weight?"

Umiling siya.

"Are you sick?" he asked again. Nasa tinig ni Van ang pag-aalala na hindi niya naiwasang mapa-ngiti.

"I am not on a diet and I am not sick, so don't worry."

Sa mga oras na iyon ay naka-kunot na ang noo ng asawa habang patuloy pa rin sa pagsuri sa katawan niya.

"You are definitely losing weight, babe. We're going to see a doctor today, hindi pwedeng pabayaan natin ang pagbagsak ng katawan mo, baka kung ano na 'yan."

Ipinaypay niya ang palad sa ere saka itinuloy na ang pagpasok sa banyo. "I'm fine. Siguro ay dahil lang ito sa stress." Nilakasan niya ang tinig upang marinig siya nito. Humarap siya sa salamin na nasa ibabaw ng sink at sandaling sinuri ang sarili.

Maliban sa nangingitim ang ilalim ng kaniyang mga mata ay wala naman siyang napapansing pagbabago sa kaniya? Her husband must have been imagining things.

Binuksan niya ang gripo at naghilamos. She was about to soap her face when her husband appeared at the door.

"Stressed about what?'

Hindi siya kaagad na nakasagot nang bumaba ang kaniyang tingin sa hubad nitong katawan. And when her eyes lowered down to his half-erect manhood, her heart started to thump wildly.

She swallowed hard and looked away. Ibinalik niya ang pansin sa paghihilamos. "It's just about Coreen and her kids. Dagdagan pang nagkakasakit ngayon ang Lola Val at lahat kami ay nag-aalala sa kondisyon niya."

Humalukipkip si Van at sumandal sa hamba ng pinto. "Kaibigan ko ang doctor na tumitingin kay Lola Val. Magaling iyon at alam kong hindi niya ito pababayaan. Ang tungkol naman kay Coreen at sa mga bata... What is it this time?"

Tinapos muna niya ang paghihilamos bago muling hinarap ang asawa na matiyagang naghintay. Kinuha niya ang face towel na naka-sabit sa gilid ng sink at nag-punas ng mukha. "Hayon, problemado na naman sa asawa. Madalas kasing hindi umuuwi si Sam sa bahay nila at hindi na nakatutulong sa pag-aasikaso sa mga bata. I wanted to help her, but what can I do?"

"Nothing," mabilis nitong sagot. "There is nothing you can do, sweetheart. Let Coreen fix it— it's a marriage thing and you shouldn't involve yourself in it." Tumuwid ito ng tayo at lumapit sa kaniya saka yumakap mula sa kaniyang likuran. Tinitigan siya nito mula sa salamin. "Look at you. You are losing weight just because you are stressing about things that you shouldn't even be thinking about."

Bumuntonghininga siya. "But they are family—"

"I know you'd say that. But they are not your responsibility, Demani." He softly kissed her nape while his eyes stayed on hers. "Let Coreen and Sam fix their problems. Tumulong ka na sa ibang aspeto, pero h'wag ka nang makisali sa problemang dapat sila ang umaayos. You've done so much for them already, hon. H'wag mo nang abalahin ang sarili mo tungkol sa personal nilang pinagdadaanan."

Muli siyang bumuntonghininga at hindi na sumagot pa.

Her husband's hands then moved up to her breasts, kneading them softly... teasingly grazing her nips, while his lips continued to give her shoulders soft, butterfly kisses. Napa-pikit siya nang maramdaman ang unti-unting pagragasa ng matinding init sa buo niyang katawan. Her husband never failed to make her feel like she was in the mouth of a volcano— hot and burning.

She tilted her head backward when Van's lips attacked her sensitive neck. Her husband knew where her vulnerable spot was, and he was doing his best to arouse her.

Later on, she started to feel his member hardened and poked at her back. Napa-ungol siya kasabay ng pagliyad; an indication Van recognized. She was ready.

But he wasn't.

Ang isang kamay nito ay masuyong naglakbay pababa sa kaniyang tiyan, at pababa pa— then, he stopped. Pigil-hininga niyang in-antabayanan ang sunod nitong gagawin. Nag-aagaw ang pansin niya sa isang kamay nitong naglalaro sa kaniyang dibdib, sa mga labi nitong patuloy sa pagbibigay ng mumunting mga halik sa kaniyang leeg, at sa kamay nito sa ilalim ng kaniyang puson na dahan-dahang bumaba pa.

She bit her lower lip when his middle finger skilfully played at the damp area of her feminity. Gently at first, as if taking his time. Sunud-sunod ang paghugot niya ng paghinga; sinasabayan ang paglalaro ng kamay nito sa ibaba.

Naibagsak niya ang hawak na tuwalya sa tiled floor nang i-salampak niya ang isang kamay sa sink habang ang isa nama'y napahawak sa kaliwang braso ng asawa na siyang gumagawa ng kababalaghan sa pagkababae niya. She needed balance, she needed to hold onto something bago siya pagtaksilan ng kaniyang mga tuhod na sa mga sandaling iyon ay unti-unti nang nanlalambot.

Van continued to give her pleasure as his finger continued to play at her juiciness while the other fondled her right breast. His lips then trailed up to her left ear and bit her lobe. She responded with a sexy moan.

"Van..." she murmured between her breath. Nanginginig ang katawan niya sa ginagawa ng asawa. Ayaw niyang matapos ang nararanasan mula sa mga kamay nito— kung maaari lang ay gawin nito iyon sa kaniya buong araw.

"It's alright, baby," he whispered in her ear. "Give it to me..."

His index and middle fingers slid inside her juicy portal, making her moan all the more.

Her hand that was holding his wrist tightened as pleasure filled her body. Especially when he started to slide his wicked fingers in and out, in the gentlest way possible. And she writhed under his penetration. She writhed and danced with his fingers and moaned seductively when they deepened to look for the G-spot.

Her husband's other hand caressed her breast roughly this time, which only added to the ecstasy that was overpowering her. Pakiramdam niya ay sasabog siya, lalo nang kagatin ng asawa ang balikat niya.

She opened her eyes and stared at herself in the mirror. And that's when she realized that her husband was looking at her there, studying her expression, making sure that she was loving his actions.

Lalong dumiin ang pagkaka-kagat niya sa labi nang bumilis ang pagpapaligaya ng asawa sa ibabang bahagi ng katawan niya. Their eyes still locked — and both sparked with fire. Nakikita niya ang pamumula ng mukha niya sanhi ng matinding init na nararamdaman sa buong katawan. She could also see her body shaking to her husband's wickedness.

Sandali siyang nagbawi ng tingin at ibinaba ang mga mata sa braso nito... at pababa pa sa mga daliri nitong abala sa pagpapaligaya sa kaniya. Naglalabasan ang ugat nito sa mga braso sa ginagawa nito at hindi niya mapigilang mamangha.

And when her husband's fingers thrust deeper and faster, she closed her eyes, tossed back her head, and cried his name in oblivion.

"Oh, baby..." Van murmured before giving her shoulder blade a not-so-gently bite.

She was so ready to travel across the sky when he released his fingers, turned her around, and put his hands around her waist. He then carried her up to the sink, settled her there, pushed her gently to lie down a bit, took one of her legs up to his shoulder, and then shoved his enraged, huge cock into her juicy gate.

Umarko ang katawan niya nang sumakop sa kaniya ang matinding init. Lalong lumakas ang kaniyang mga ungol. Most especially when her husband started to push deeply, almost in a savage manner.

Gusto niyang mabaliw sa tindi ng sensasyong nararamdaman sa mga oras na iyon. Pakiramdam niya ay sasabog na siya, pero naroon din ang kagustuhan niyang hindi matapos ang kaligayahang nararamdaman. She arched her body further to give her husband more access to it. Lalong lumalim at dumiin ang pang-a-angkin nito, na sinalubong din niya ng may pananabik.

Nagmulat siya ng mga mata at sinalubong ang nagbabagang mga tingin ng asawa. She wanted more. She needed more.

"Please go faster, honey..." she pleaded, and her husband gladly granted her wish.

He went faster and deeper and harsher this time, na tila wala nang bukas. He then bent his body and caught one nip which he suckled like a hungry baby. She growled again. Van would probably never know how their lovemaking always made her so happy. And satisfied in all aspects. She couldn't ask for more.

"Van... " she mumbled her husband's name like a prayer— before moaning seductively as she reached her orgasm.

"Give it all to me, baby," Van said as he continued to hump her while his mouth stayed with her breasts, pleasuring them as well, one after another.

Ilang sandali pa, habang tinatamasa niya ang rurok ng kaligayahan, ay ibinaba nito ang isang binti niya saka siya mahigpit na hinawakan sa balakang. And the next thing that's happened was intense— because he continued to pound her deeply and roughly— until he reached his point.

And so did her— for the second time around.
