"MICKO..."

I was so lost in his touch. Hindi ko alam kung saan ko ibabaling 'yong ulo ko dahil sa kakaibang sensation na binibigay niya sa katawan ko.

"You're beautiful, Lindsey." sabi niya habang nakatingin sa kabuuan ng katawan ko. Nakatali pa rin 'yong dalawang kamay ko sa magkabilang dulo ng kama.

Gusto kong takpan ang katawan ko dahil sa paraan ng pagtitig niya sakin pero hindi ko magawa. So, I just bit my lower lip instead.

"Stop biting your lips..." utos niya kaya agad kong tinanggal 'yong pagkagat ko sa ibabang labi ko. Sinabi kasi ni Miss Sweety basta sundin ko lang lahat ng gusto niya ay wala akong magiging problema – at ayaw ko ng problema. Kaya susunduin ko nalang lahat ng gusto niya.

Masyado na akong maraming problema at ayaw ko nang dagdagan pa 'yon...

"I've been wanting to kiss these lips of yours, and seeing you biting your lips doesn't help," he said, slowly lowering his face to mine and finally capturing my lips.

When he quickly pushed his tongue in and battled with mine, my insides exploded. Gusto ko siyang hawakan, pero hindi ko magawa dahil sa tali sa kamay ko!

I know I shouldn't like this kiss, yet it's impossible for me to resist. With every touch of his lips against mine, I was completely lost. I'm enjoying the sensation I'm having right now...

I'd never kissed somebody before.

He's giving me a passionate kiss. I despise how soft he is, as if he's frightened of breaking me. I despise the fact that I enjoy what he's doing to me right now.

I was so busy kissing him na hindi ko namalayang natanggal na pala niya 'yong pagkakatali sa kamay ko na agad na pumulupot sa batok niya para mas laliman pa 'yong pag halik ko sakaniya. His left hand cupped my face, while his right hand wandered around my nearly naked body.

When he bit my lower lip, I moaned, "Micko..." For a split second, he pulled away from our kiss to take a breath.

"Lindsey," he said, his gaze fixed on me. His eyes were filled with desire.

"V-virgin pa 'ko," pag-amin ko sakaniya. Sandaling nagulat 'yong mukha niya pero agad din 'yong nawala at mabilis niya akong hinalikan sa noo.

With his warm thumb, he stroked my cheek. "If you don't want to continue, we can just stop here..." he murmured softly.

Alam kong pinangako ko sa sarili ko na ibibigay ko lang 'yong virginity ko sa taong mamahalin ko, but this man... he's the first one who has shown genuine interest in me. In a short period of time, he made me feel at ease with him. And despite knowing what my real profession is, he is the first person who has not judged me.

Nirerespeto niya ako bilang isang tao at pinaramdam niya sakin na may halaga ako, hindi lang basta isang bayarang babae... and that warms my heart the most.

Dahan-dahan akong umiling. "Gusto kong ituloy," sagot ko sakaniya.

I nodded as he said, "Are you sure?"

"Just let me know when it's time to call it a day." He said, "I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to do," which made me smile.

Despite the fact that I am his personal stripper and that this is part of my work, he still respects me and my decision.

"All right," I said with a simple nod.

He then lowered his head and started kissing me completely on the lips. It never occurred to me that kissing could be so addictive. Perhaps it's because I'm kissing Micko, and not just anyone.

My hands began to scurry around his body as his warm tongue met with mine. I felt his toned chest all the way down to his abs by putting my hand under his shirt.

He ripped off my garments with ease and infiltrated my body.

"Oo Micko... gusto ko pa rin ituloy,"

Before he starts undressing in front of me, he says, "I promise, I'll be gentle."

He re-entered the bed and hovered over me. It's a good thing it's dark in here so he can't see my flushed cheeks.

I felt his finger touching me down there, inserting a finger, as he resumed kissing me. Because of the strange sensation he gives me, I grabbed and pulled his hair. I'm writhing under him, and he's massaging my clit with his finger.

I could feel the pressure growing up inside of me. Micko backed away from our kiss and focused his gaze on me.

"Tell me—" he started to say, but I interrupted him and kissed him once more.

"Please... just keep going." I pleaded against his lips. There will be no escape. I know I wanted to do it as well.

I noticed that the corner of his lips rose, and he nodded his head.

He grabbed a condom from the bedside table and placed it on himself before positioning himself between my legs. I could feel the tip of his cock enter me and something was tearing up inside of me as he slowly entered my core.

A tear welled up in my eye as I groaned.

Micko wiped a tear from my eye and said, "I'm sorry."

I bit my lower lip as hard as I could as he moved slowly, and after a while, I became so accustomed to the pain that it no longer hurt.

I didn't close my eyes as he kept on thrusting inside of me. I just stared at Micko's face as he mumbled sweet words to me.

I could feel myself getting closer as I dug my finger into his back, and with one final thrust, we both reached our peak.

Micko sat beside me after wiping us down with a towel. He spooned me and wrapped his arms around me, kissing my bare shoulder.  We're both still naked beneath the blanket.

Walang nagsasalita saming dalawa. Tahimik lang kami at tanging tibok ng puso at paghinga lang namin ang ingay na naririnig ko.

Hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko. Walang bahid nang pagsisisi ang nararamdaman ko. I wanted to do this with him as much as he wanted it to. I don't feel any regret about my decision. In fact, masaya ako dahil kahit papaano sakaniya ko naibigay 'yon at hindi kung kani-kanino lang.

I closed my eyes and savored the feeling of being wrapped around his warm body. For the first time in my four years on the job. This is the only time in my life that I've felt genuine happiness. And this is the only time I allow a man to accompany me from dusk to dawn.

The next morning, I woke up with a body sore. Sinubukan kong tumayo pero hindi ko magawa dahil sa sakit sa pagitan ng hita ko.

Tinignan ko si Micko na natutulog pa rin ng mahimbing sa tabi ko. Naka dapa siya at nakapatong ang kaliwang braso sa tiyan ko. He looks so peaceful while sleeping. I gently brushed away a few strands of hair from his face and stared at his calm figure.

I stirred a little kaya agad akong kinabahan at napapikit ako ulit. Naramdaman ko iyong pag galaw ng braso niya at mas humigpit 'yong pagkakayakap niya sa tiyan ko. Napalunok ako dahil manipis lang iyong kumot na nakatakip sa hubad kong katawan.

I slowly opened my eyes to check if he was awake, but he was not. I could still hear his soft snore.

Hindi ko alam kung gaano ko siya katagal tinitigan bago ako nag-decide na pumunta sa banyo para makapagbihis na. Sigurado akong nag-aalala na si Mama sakin dahil hindi ako umuwi kagabi.

Pagkatapos kong magbihis ay lumabas na ako sa banyo at nakita kong kagigising lang rin ni Micko. Nakatayo siya sa kama at parang may hinahanap. Napakagat ako sa ibabang labi ko at napalunok ng makita ko iyong katawan niyang walang saplot. Sa sobrang pagod namin kagabi ay hindi na kami nakapag bihis pa at nakatulog na kami agad.

"Good Morning," I greeted him. Our eyes met for a second, but I was quick to avoid his gaze.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako biglang nahihiya sakaniya. Dahil siguro sa mga ginawa namin kagabi? Ramdam ko iyong pamumula ng mukha ko habang iniisip iyong mga nangyari samin kagabi.

Hindi ko inexpect na kaya kong gawin iyong mga iyon. Nagulat nalang rin ako sa mga nagawa ko kagabi sakaniya pero hindi ko pinagsisisihan iyon.

"Good Morning. How's your..." sabi niya at saka siya napatingin sa pagitan ng hita ko.

"O-Okay na. Hindi na gaanong masakit," sagot ko sakaniya.

"Are you going home already? Can you wait for me for a minute? I'll just get dress tapos ihahatid na kita,"

"Kahit hindi na. Papasundo nalang ako kay Lara. Salamat."

"I insist, Lindsey..." pagpilit niya, kaya wala akong nagawa kung hindi pumayag nalang.

Hinantay ko siyang matapos magbihis bago kami sabay na bumaba. May two weeks break kami sa school dahil katatapos lang ng unang sem namin.

"Lindsey?" nagulat ako ng makasalubong namin si Blake palabas ng Btch Valley. Nanlaki iyong mga mata ko habang nakatingin sakaniya. Bakit ang aga niya! 8 AM palang, e!

"What's up, dude?" Micko greeted Blake and they bro hugged.

"Did you two stay the night here?" parang hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya habang palipat-lipat ang tingin saming dalawa ni Micko.

"Uhm... A-ano kasi—"

"Yeah, actually we slept here because I was so hammered last night, and Lindsey stayed with me as part of her job," Micko answered on my behalf. Napatingin ako sakaniya at nginitian niya lang ako na parang sinasabi niyang sumakay nalang ako sa sinabi niya.

Sa totoo lang... hindi ko alam kung bakit nalungkot ako sa sinabi niyang dahilan kay Blake. Is he ashamed of sleeping with me? Ayaw ba niyang malaman ng iba na may nangyari samin dahil isa akong stripper?

Nagpaalam na rin kami kay Blake. Tahimik lang ako hanggang sa makarating kami sa sasakyan niya. Micko kept on glancing at me while my eyes were glued on the window. I hate that I'm overthinking dahil lang sa sinabi niya kay Blake.

"Are you okay? May nagawa ba akong mali?" Micko asked, breaking the silence. Eksaktong huminto iyong sasakyan dahil nag red light.

Nilingon ko siya at nakita kong nakatingin siya sakin na may pag-aalala sa mukha. I smiled at him.

"Bakit naman ako magagalit sa'yo? Oo naman, okay lang ako no." Sabi ko nang natatawa dahil sa sinabi niya. Agad naman siyang nakahinga ng maluwag. Nginitian lang niya ako bago nag drive ulit nang mag-green light na.

Nagpahatid lang ako sa kanto malapit sa bahay namin. May pagka-chismosa pa naman iyong mga kapitbahay namin. Baka kumalat sa buong barangay namin na may naghahatid sakin na lalaki na may mamahaling sasakyan.

"Where do you live? Why am I dropping you here?" nagtatakang tanong niya nang mag-park siya sa tabi.

"Okay na ako dito. Thank you sa paghatid sakin," sabi ko ng nakangiti sakaniya pagkatapos kong tanggalin iyong seatbelt ko. Lalabas na sana ako ng sasakyan niya nang hawakan niya ako sa braso.

"I... I had a really great night with you," he said that made me smile. I pursed my lips together to stop myself from smiling widely.

"Ako din, Micko. I will never forget last night."

We stared at each other for a few more second, bago ako tuluyang bumaba na nang sasakyan niya dahil nakikita kong pinagtitinginan na iyong sasakyan niya ng mga tao sa labas. Seriously, wala talaga silang pinipiling oras para magchismisan!

"Lindsey!" nagulat ako ng makita kong lumabas ng sasakyan si Micko at tinawag ako. Nilingon ko siya at nakita kong mas nagbulungan iyong mga tao habang pinagtitinginan kami.

"I'll call you later." sabi niya at agad akong tumango, bago siya senyasan na pumasok na sa loob ng sasakyan niya. I waved him goodbye as he drove away.
