Kabanata 23:

Heat in the cave

I inhaled the cool wind with my arms on the air, loving the glorious nature of Sussana's Coast. We tumbled on the berry pink spread out blanket on the green field of the surface of the cliff.

The sun wasn't unpleasantly harsh, and we normally basked for vitamin D.

We were eating our breakfast picnic. Devon insisted on having our breakfast outside the house. I couldn't disagree if this how striking the view. There were so much hidden and spectacular spots in that beach.

Tuwang tuwa kong kinuha ang laman ng picnic basket. Butterknife, French toast, bagels, strawberry jam, and the newly brewed coffee in the thermos.

Hindi ko namalayan kong pang-ilang toasted bread na ang nakain ko.

Ikinalat ko ang malagkit na Jam sa dalawang French toasts. Binigay ko kay Devon ang isa.

He took it with a giant grin on his face. "Galing sa bahay panglimang bagel at French toasts na ang nakain mo."

The blanket was framed by the brown falling leaves. My hair was flying with the dashing wind.

I stopped munching the toast to watch his caring hands plucking out the leaves from my hair.

"Nagrereklamo ka ba dahil tataba ako?" I asked wryly.

He propped on his elbow, chewing, and laughing wholeheartedly at my accusation. "Hindi ako nagrereklamo na baka tumaba ka. Wala na akong ibang irereklamo sa buhay ko ngayon. It's just that you usually ate one or two bagels. That's just my observation. You can have all the food in the fridge if you want, babe, even my large hot dog. I don't care if you gain weight, as long as your healthy."

I whacked his hairy legs.

His mestizo arm draped around my waist, cuddling me under his stone hard trunk.

"I'm not particular with sizes. If you gain weight, I'll gain weight too. I want that kind of love. But I noticed some changes on you. Are you pregnant, babe?"

"Pregnant?"

I went out the other day to buy pregnancy test when I noticed that my menstruation hadn't visited me yet.

"You eat beyond two slices of wheat food. You drink more soda these past days. Instead of a mild green tea. You haven't read a book for a while now, and you haven't exercise for three weeks. Conscious ka naman sa pangangatawan mo. Something is up. You did not care to share it to me if you are not feeling well."

"You've noticed even the smallest thing about me?"

I couldn't hide my astonishment.

"Kasama kita, alam na alam ko ang lahat sayo. Pati siguro amoy ng paghinga mo alam ko kung anong klaseng mouthwash gamit mo. The brand of your sanitary napkin; the one with wings; your perfume, lotion, foundation; and the mist you used to spray your face; and other things like putting a mud mask on your face and that cucumber on your eyes. Alam ko kung kailan ang menstruation mo. I noticed and memorized it all. Do you expect me that I'll be thinking another woman while I'm with you?"

I sniffled a laugh. He was truly in love with me. Madly and genuinely.

"Maybe you're showing signs? Tell me what to do babe,"

Lumambot ang mukha niya. Hinawakan niya ang aking pupulsuhan. Malumanay ang kamay niya papunta sa aking pisngi. Hindi ito ang inaasahan kong reaksyon sa kanya.

"Say something, please." Maamo at nagsumamamo ang bawat hibla ng kanyang pilikmata. "Anong plano mo kung buntis ka sa anak ko? Sa magiging anak natin? Kasi kapag ako ang tanungin mo, idederetso kita kaagad sa simbahan. Mamaya nalang ang pamanhikan."

"I went out to the pharmacy the other day."

"Dalawa ba ang linya?" Naninimbang niyang tanong.

I shook my head. "It was only one line."

Bigong bumagsak ang mata niya sa mga kamay ko. My face grew warm. He wanted a child. The situation and time weren't perfect for bearing our offspring.

"Are you disappointed? Or happy?"

"I will not only be happy of the result if you're not ready. It will force you, and that's not what I want. We're not rushing, babe, and you do. Bahala na muna ang oras at panahon. Ibibigay din niya sa atin sa tamang pagkakataon. Come on, let's have fun."

He straightened up, forcing me to get up with him. We stood on the top of the cliff, with our lacing hands, peeking down the clear turquoise water under. It wasn't far, but high enough to pump my heart.

The wind was blowing madly. Tinali niya ang buhok ko gamit ang rubber band na palaging nakahapit sa galang galangan niya. It really helped me out to stop my hair from lashing my face.

His pearly white teeth were sparkling at me.

"What?"

I was amped up with shock and adrenaline when he promptly pulled me with him down the cliff.

My scream pierced the silence of Sussana Coast.

Our bodies hit the depth of the water. We both swam upward. Sinabuyan ko siya ng tubig nang maka-ahon ako.

"I almost had a heart attack, Dev!"

His laughter rumbled as he combed his sodden hair.

Hanggang beywang ang taas ng tubig.

"Do you remember our first kiss? That behind the rock? I ask your permission since weren't yet into a relationship. Sadly, I didn't get your permission. However, you didn't deny the kiss. I guessed you actually enjoyed it, although you should have slapped me. And the day of the final game, I haven't claim on the prize you were shouting if we win–" I kissed him, shutting his mouth.

I inched away after the fleeting kiss.

Ayokong lumalim ang aming halikan at mauwi na naman sa mainit na pagtatalik.

He wasn't satisfied with a mere kissing.

It wasn't in his vocabulary. Devon loved the torrid and sensual kisses. He wanted kisses that could be imprinted with marks and evidences.

Lumakad siya ng mabagal papunta sa akin. Umatras ako hangga't naramdaman ko ang malubak na malaking bato.

"Are we going to do it again?"

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

I flattened my palms to the vicious texture of his chest. He hoisted me up without warning against the rock and clamming his free hand on my waist. I felt weightless as if I'm a feather floating in the water.

Our eyes fluttered. Our skin buzzed with blasting heat as our lips molded in waves, and our emotions brewed over.

He ran a finger down my throat to my collarbone, pausing at the neck of my shirt which he pulled it down without abandoning my lips.

We paused from kissing for me to breath, and my inviting black bra winked at him. My engorged pink nipples were visible at his vision.

His fingers sailed northward, trailing his hand as if he was following a route of map on my skin where he could locate all the sources of my delights.

He smirked when he finally found what his hand was looking for.

I felt my slick arousal vibrated like I'm struck with a thunder while my body immersed on the sea. I kissed him hard and greedy to hide my traitorous and sensitive reaction.

He pressed me lightly on the rock with his mouth marking the sections of my exposed neck.

I sighed along the sound of the waves with the glare of the sun. His restless hands ventured lower on the heart of my Eiffel center.

Pinasisid niya ang isang daliri tungo sa kasidhian ng aking lungga. He pushed it to the very knuckle. I yelped at the fervent intrusion.

It didn't stop there for he scooted us out of the body of the water, leading us to a lurking cave where no one and even amphibians couldn't have a sight of our love making.

He was nuzzling willful and naughty things on the shell of my ear.

He was teasing the soft pillows of my lips.

His touches were brief, but strong enough to annihilate any lingering doubt in my mind that I'm treading into the dangerous waters.

The cave provided us seclusion for our morning coupling. He slipped off my undergarment from me. He tossed the materials to the side, and it landed with a soft splat.

Rivulets of water slipped down his chest as he stepped back. Taking his time appreciating every inch of me.

"Magnifico..."

Namimintuho ang mga mata niya. Tila namamangha sa sarili niyang gawa. He was just like a carver staring at his naked statue.

Blood warmed my cheeks upon the revelation of his amorousness he had for me. His genuine adoration on my body and soul despite my flaws made me blush.

Hindi ko maisahugis kung ano ang tumatakbo sa isip niya.

Kinalas ko nalang ang tali sa buhok ko at pinakawalan ang kayumihan, kaba, at pag-alinlangan sa akin.

I was naked under his gaze. I walked to him, swaying my hips. His snigger dissolved into a smoldering hunger.

"Sit on my face. Let me taste you for one thousand kisses." he instructed me.

"Dev..."

Oh, Dear Eros.

I played out the scenario in my mind. The idea was scandalous, sinful, wild, and wicked.

He drew circles on my face.

"No one can hear us here." panigurado niya.

The thought of being caught made my neck strumming. What if? What if we caught by someone? That would be the biggest shame. Wala naman sigurong taong mapapadpad dito.

He sprawled himself down, continue to drink me up with his eyes. He was still in his swimming blue shorts.

I dropped myself on his face for a maximum delight of the ride. His heavy palms slowly pressed my knees wide.

Oh. Shit.

His mouth slurped my rosy clam without signal. The consumption of his mouth was exquisite. He was the exquisite himself. The music it creates was promisingly soft, sabulous, and sensual. It was sending carnal sighs and satisfaction on every tiny cell of my body.

"Aromatico. Profumato."

Pumapaypay ang hininga niya sa aking lamang hiyas.

His Italian words stirred the hell out of me. He licked certain regions. My back was killing me for arching and jerking.

May kagustuhan akong ibalik at gantihan ang pinapalasap niya sa akin.

Binalatan ko ang shorts niya kasama ang damit niyang panloob. Nanginginig ang aking mga palad pati ang aking labi.

Tulala ako ng nagdaang segundo nang tumama ang sinag ng araw sa tikas at tindig ng kanyang eskrotum. My pearl became amazingly alive upon seeing the most mesmerizing view I have ever seen.

He lifted my butt a bit for him to catch a breath.

"Ibalik mo, Eirene. Don't ever think about it." he warned me.

My endeavor to dominate him as a form of reciprocation overpowered me.

Bakit naging mas matapang ako? Mas naging magaslaw?

I never felt freer in my entire life. I was imprisoned with my parents' restrictions. But with him my life has freedom.

The wanton side of me was awakened. I slathered his glistening mushroom with light kissing, emitting a sweet-guttural groan from him. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagtatalo ng pangangailangan at mahigpit na pagsang-ayon sa ihip ng kanyang paghinga.

His breathing became irregular in a healthy way.

Lumakas ang mga daing niya. Ngunit hindi iyon sapat para ihinto ang ekspedisyon ng aking mga kamay at labi.

I was practically swimming with my senses. His manhood tantalized me. I matched his efforts working with my pace. My mouth opened wide to engulf the bulbous top. I kissed, licked, and nibbled him equally with the abundance of my saliva.

I palmed him with my glossy fingernails, one hand playing with his balls, while the other one held the shaft. I figured out exactly where his pleasure points.

I relaxed my jaw, and he pulsed in my hands. I learned it from reading Kama Sutra, "To generate such friction, pressure and stimulation, the fellatio technique is necessary."

I never considered reciprocation in coupling. His efforts and the fact that he was so excited, active, and so lustful made me give back the same effort.

"Enough, babe. Stop right there, Eirene."

I was delighted to hear he appreciated my efforts.

I clamped down his head. He gave me another long luxurious swirl and lap to finish his sweet lapping. My breath and muscles grew shaky and saggy as I tried to maintain some semblance of control.

Devon rolled over. He was on top of me. Galing sa ulap, lumusong ang aking naramdaman sa lupalop ng kanyang yakap.

"Don't ever do that again, Eirene."

He was angry. A blatant contrast to what he should feel. I realized not all men would love to receive the fellatio. He squeezed his length. I was rewarded with his punishing kisses.

I kissed him back with the whirling of our tongues. Hindi niya ako binigyan ng pagkakataon para mahawakan ulit siya.

"You're killing me."

His lips parted. A frown appeared on his face.

"I haven't killed anyone yet." matapang at mapang-hamon kong tugon.

He rested his forehead on mine. Our sweats coated our skin. Our breathing was erratic. Our bodies released more fire. Our noses were gracing with each other.

He was pumping his hand like he was running in a hundred-kilometer dash, competing with his own self versus his own

orgasm.

His gaping lips was cascading sharp chills in my spine to my nape. He was erotically stimulating to watch.

He milked himself to the very last drop while his lips were honing with mine. Our heart-beats were slowing down when I felt the satiny texture on my belly.

I gasped sharply when he filled my emptiness. He intertwined my slacking legs behind him automatically.

We basked with the vehemence of fire. We answered each other's groans and moans with our blazing kisses. He began diving my core. I moaned, cried out, and didn't care my voice echoing off the cave walls.
