Catalina Konan

°°°

Paulit-ulit akong napabuntong hininga sa dami ng gamit na binili para sa 'kin ni Sir Claudius. Kauuwi lang niya kanina galing Canada at heto, sobrang dami niyang bitbit na malalaking paper bag.

Hindi naman ako nanghihingi ng pasalubong pero ang dami niyang binili. He's spoiling me a lot!

"Parang hindi na magkakasya 'yung mga gamit mo rito, Ma'am Konan. Saan ko ilalagay 'tong iba?" tanong ni Frederick habang bitbit ang tatlong malalaking kahon sa kamay.

"Uhm..." nilibot ko ang paningin sa walk-in closet ko. Actually, malaki talaga 'tong kwarto na 'to at puro gamit ko lang talaga ang nakalagay. Nagmukha siya ngayong masikip dahil sa mga bagay na binibigay sa 'kin ni Sir Claudius.

Tinuro ko ang tuktok ng malaking cabinet, "Doon na lang siguro. Wala na kasing space."

"Ganito po ba talaga si Sir Claudius sa inyo?" tanong niya habang inaakyat ang mga 'yun.

"Well, it's not like I'm asking for these."

"Woah," lumingon siya sa 'kin, "Ibig sabihin kusa n'yang binibigay lahat sa 'yo 'to?! Hindi mo hiningi sa kan'ya?! Hindi ka nagta-take advantage--- ahh!"

"Frede---"

Bago ko pa matapos ang pangalan niya ay nadamay ako sa pagbagsak ni Frederick mula sa tinutuntungan niyang wooden latter. Nagbunga ito ng malakas na ingay at talagang ramdam kong sumakit ang pwet ko sa pagbagsak-- isama mo pa na dumagan sa 'kin si Frederick.

Narinig ko siyang nagulat, "M-Ma'am Konan! Sorry!" dali-dali siyang tumayo at inalalayan ako sa kamay.

"Saan masakit? Sorry talaga hindi ko sinasadya."

"Aw aw aw," pikit matang kong daing saka dumilat at ngitian siya, "Kung anu-ano kasi sinasabi mo! Hindi ako nagta-take advantage 'no! Hindi ako gano'ng babae."

"Hehe. E 'di maganda," napapakamot siya ng ulo.

"What happened here?"

Katatayo ko lang mula sa pagkabagsak nang marinig namin ang seryosong boses ni Sir Claudius. Salubong ang kilay niya habang nakatingin sa kamay ni Frederick na nakaalalay pa rin sa siko ko.

Agad na lumayo si Frederick at yumuko kay Sir Claudius, "Good morning, Sir Claudius! I apologize for the accident."

"What?" malalim ang boses niya.

"Nalaglag po ako sa hagdan at nadamay ko po si Ma'am Konan. Please forgive my clumsiness."

"Ah---" pinulot ko ang mga nalaglag, "Okay lang 'yun, Frederick. I know it's an accident."

"Still, I'm very sorry!" yumuko pa siya ulit.

Sir Claudius blew a sigh and shot a glance at Frederick, "I hired you as her butler to do things for her 24/7. Why are you letting her pick those box up? Isn't it your job, huh?"

Nagkatinginan kami ni Frederick at mukha pa siyang nagulat na hawak ko ang mga box na nalaglag kanina kaya naman mabilis niya 'yong kinuha sa kamay ko.

"M-Ma'am Konan, ako na."

"And don't just touch her like you did, Frederick."

"Sir?"

He crossed his arms with a surly expression, "You held her hand just a minute ago. Don't ever do that again."

"C-Claudius, tinulungan lang n'ya 'ko."

Pero hindi niya 'yun pinansin at masungit lang na pumikit. Hindi ko akalain na pagseselosan niya si Frederick dahil sa pagtulong nito.

Hihi. Ang cute mo naman, Sir.

"Frederick, leave us alone for a while," utos niya. Binaba ni Frederick ang mga gamit sa isang tabi at yumuko bilang paggalang.

"Understood."

Nang makalabas si Frederick ay kami na lamang ni Sir Claudius ang natira. Dumilat siya at seryosong tumitig sa 'kin. Ngumiti naman ako.

"I thought you're busy working," ani ko. These past few days, lalong naging busy si Sir Claudius kahit ngayong kauuwi niya lang galing Canada. 'Yun 'yong dahilan kung bakit binigyan niya 'ko ng butler-- but it seems like he's getting jealous of him.

Naglakad siya palapit sa 'kin habang binubuksan ang unang butones ng polo niya, "A greater urgency just came up."

Sinandal niya 'ko sa malamig na pader ng kwarto. Hindi niya inaalis ang paningin sa 'kin.

"I hope Frederick wasn't lying when he had reported to me that you were always with the CVA members while I was away... or should I---"

"Claudius."

I heaved a deep sigh before giving him an assuring smile. Parang ayoko nang tapusin ang kung ano mang sasabihin niya.

"It's not like that, okay? Pinagseselosan mo ba ang butler na binigay mo sa 'kin?"

Hindi siya umimik at umiwas lang ng tingin.

Gusto ko sana siyang asarin tungkol do'n dahil natutuwa ako na nagseselos siya pero at the same time, ayoko namang pagselosan niya ng gano'n si Frederick lalo't mabait na tao 'yun.

Hinawakan ko si Sir Claudius sa pisngi dahilan para muling mapunta sa 'kin ang paningin niya, "Don't be jealous. I love you, Claudius. Kahit na hindi sang-ayon ang tatay mo sa 'kin, ang importante mahal natin ang isa't-isa. Ginagawa ko nga ang lahat para matanggap ni Mr. Lefebre, e. Tapos pagseselosan mo lang si Frederick?" natawa ako ng kaunti.

Hinuli niya ang kamay ko't hinalikan 'yun, "Continue to watch me like that, it's adorable."

Natawa ako. Hinalikan ako ni Sir Claudius sa pisngi pababa sa aking leeg. Napapikit ako't napakapit sa batok niya. I missed this feeling... 'yung tatlong araw na nawala siya ay parang napaka tagal sa pakiramdam ko.

Naging malikot ang mga kamay ni Sir Claudius, kung saan-saan na ito nakarating. Sa likod, sa bewang, hanggang sa makarating ito sa aking dibdib. Pero habang patuloy siya sa pagpapainit ng katawan ko, saka ko lang naalala ang tungkol sa binigay niya sa 'king restaurant.

Eversince he came home, I didn't have a chance to ask about it. Paano naman kasi? Natabunan 'yun sa dami niyang bitbit na pasalubong sa 'kin.

"U-Uhm... Claudius? About the... restaurant."

"Hmm?"

"The Greenhouse. Did you... really b-bought it for me?"

He stopped and looked up to me, "So you recieved it? Did you like it?"

"I love it but why?"

"Baby," he rest his forehead against mine, his breath smells mint, "That restaurant is always full. When I last went there to check, the queue was long again so I decided to find the owner and bought it especially for you. Now whenever you crave for their food, you won't have to wait anymore because you are now the boss, Konan."

Nagulat na 'ko sa unang pagkakataon palang na nakausap ko ang manager tungkol dito pero ngayong nanggaling na sa bibig ni Sir Claudius ang dahilan, lalo akong nagulat.

Just because of the queue?

"C-Claudius... why..."

"You deserved it. Everything you have right now--- including me, you deserved it all," he kissed me on my forehead after he said those words.

"Thank you. Thank you so much for everything."

"Yes," his lips formed into a meaningful grin, "If you're really thankful enough, then how about you thank me by making love with me right now?"

Before I could speak a word, his lips touched mine. I gave in like that. His tounge pushed in, delicately exploring the interior of my mouth until our kiss grew deeper, making my mind go blank.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my tounge up his as I kissed him back fiercely.

"Nngh..." he moaned.

Nararamdaman ko ang mainit na kamay ni Sir Claudius sa loob ng blusa ko, umakyat ito patungo sa aking dibdib at bahagyang pinisil 'yun.

Hindi naghiwalay ang mga labi namin hanggang sa ihiga niya 'ko sa malaki at pabilog na sofa. Pumatong siya at muli akong hinalikan ng malalim. Sa puntong 'yun, wala na 'kong maisip kundi ang muli siyang maramdaman sa loob ko.

We were at that position when someone suddenly knocked on the door. Bahagya ko tuloy siyang naitulak.

"Excuse me, Sir Claudius. Mr. Lefebre's outside. he wants to meet you."

It's Frederick's voice.

Napatingin ako sa magkasalubong na kilay ni Sir Claudius habang nakalingon sa pintuan. Sasabihin ko sana na puntahan namin si Mr. Lefebre pero bigla ako nitong tinignan. I noticed his cheeks were growing faintly pink.

"What now? Let's go?" I asked.

"The heck is he doing here again?" he muttered, "He came here last time when I was in Canada, right? Did he say something harsh to you?"

Nagulat ako ro'n pero hindi ko na lang pinakita, "H-Huh? It's nothing like that."

Ayoko lang talaga sabihing 'oo' dahil kilala ko 'tong si Sir Claudius, lalo lang lalayo ang loob niya sa tatay niya kung sasabihin ko pa iyon. Gusto ko ngang mapalapit kay Mr. Lefebre, e.

"He just wants to talk to you... a-about your arrange marriage with Lauren. He still wants you two to marry."

He sighed, "That old man. So he's not giving up yet, huh?"

"Looks like it."

Tatayo na sana ako pero nagmatigas siya sa ibabaw ko. Nakatitig lang siya sa mata ko.

"Claudius. He's waiting for you," ani ko.

"Before we leave..."

Dumapo sa akin ang kan'yang malambot na labi. Marahan niya akong hinalikan do'n.

"Let's continue what we have started. You should not disappoint me, Konan. I'm craving for you," he uttered full of lust and love, "Shall we?"

I bit my lower lip and slowly nodded as response.

"Very well."

Muli niyang sinakop ang bibig ko upang halikan 'yun. Dahil ayoko na rin namang bitinin ang pagkakataon na 'to, hindi na rin ako nagpadaig sa init ng katawan niya. We switched places. I am now on top him-- kissing him torridly.

I started to take off my shirt, followed by my shorts. He watched me quietly as I took it all off. I guided him up to a sitting position. His back pressed against the wall.

I kissed him again while unbuttoning his polo. Nang matanggal ko 'yun ay sinunod kong hawakan ang suot niyang pajama. Doon ay nadaanan ko kung gaano na katigas ang kan'yang alaga. Hindi ko na napigilang mapangiti sa loob ko.

"Nngh..." muli niyang ungol sa paghawak ko.

Hinapit niya 'ko sa bewang dahilan para mapaupo ako sa harapan niya. Naramdaman ko ro'n ang pananabik kaya naman mas lalo nitong pinainit ang katawan ko.

He moaned softly as I rubbed him between his legs, feeling his entire body responding to my touch.

His body feels like it's burning for desire, so I started to pull down his pants with his underwear, exposing his lively manhood.

I again sat on his lap, wrapping my legs around him as I eased myself onto his arousal, taking my sweet time to savor every moment.

We both gasped at once as he filled me. His head bent to my sensitive nipples as I slowly bounced up and down on him.

"Harder... do it harder," he pleaded.

I grinned at him and stopped moving, "You sound like begging. I thought you want me the one to beg on you?" I teased.

His jet-black eyes glowed as he stared at me, "Konan..."

I stilled on him, refusing to move until he begged me to, feeling him pulsing inside of me. He panted, clenching his jaw.

He visibly fought the urge to flip me over and take what he wanted-- but he didn't. He knew I was the one calling the shots now.

"...baby, please do it harder."

Oh my gosh, that sound so erotic to my ear. Kaya naman pala gusto niya itong marinig sa 'kin dati. Now it's a tie.

"Well, since you asked so nicely..."

This time, I kissed him passionately on his lips. Wala akong sinayang na lugar sa kan'yang bibig, lahat 'yun ay tinikman ko't dinama habang wala akong ibang marinig sa kan'ya kundi ang masasarap niyang ungol.

I wrapped my arms around his neck tightly, burying my face against his neck as I pressed myself flush against him. And I rode him hard and fast-- just like the first time we did it. Both of us gasping for breath, slick with each other's sweat and my wetness.

He held onto me tight, groaning loudly with pleasure as I had my way with him. I felt wild, out of control... and I loved it.

I know he loves it, too. I can feel it.

I moaned softly as I lifted myself off of him. He turned my body around, my back facing him. Nakahawak siya sa magkabila kong bewang at inaalalayan, hanggang sa bigla niyang ipasok 'yun sa aking loob. Napasigaw ako sa naramdaman.

"Ahh...! Claudius!"

It felt so much deeper this way, so intense my legs began to tremble.

He held my hips from behind, helping me make long, even strokes as the two of us panted. He keeps moving in and out. It felt so good...

Hindi ko na alam kung gaano katagal naming ginagawa 'yun. Napuno ng masasarap na ungol ang buong kwarto na tipong wala na kaming pakialam sa paligid.

It ended up taking hours until both of us were finally satisfied.

I can say na ito ang pinaka matagal na oras namin ni Sir Claudius hindi kagaya no'ng unang beses. Lahat na yata ng posisyon, ginawa namin ngayon. Wala akong pinagsisisihan, isa ito sa pinaka masarap na pakiramdam na binigay sa 'kin ni Sir Claudius... and I wish for more... for as long as we're together.

So I wish to be accepted by his father soon. Dahil mahal ko si Sir Claudius, gusto kong mahalin din bilang ama si Mr. Lefebre.

Baka sakaling... maramdaman ko ro'n ang pagmamahal ng isang magulang.
