Chapter 40: Hearts on Fire

There have been quite a number of times in my life where I've been reckless, often resulting with my mother's scolding but lately I found myself engaging in activities where the stakes are sky-high and the danger this apparent.

I can feel my skin pricking. Inside my race suit, my sweat alternately froze and heated my skin. My stomach is in knots and despite the seeming calm veneer that I've put up as a facade, fear has settled in my gut the closer the time of the Open inched forward.

The green flag went down and I entered the track.

"PC concentrate on finishing the race safely," I heard Kuya Ali's voice over the comm lines. Napa-buntong hininga ako ng malakas.

"Prince ko, don't worry sa rankings," I heard Aya's voice and my heart did a skip. Alam kong sobrang nag-aalala siya at parang gusto kong batukan ang sarili ko. What the h*ll were you thinking Prince? Bakit ka nga ba nagpadala dito kay Nathan Arroyo?

Gago kasi siya, pati girlfriend ko harap-harapan niyang pinagnanasaan.

Pero wala nang urungan at nandito na ako. Please Lord, just keep all of us safe. I want to go back to my Aya safely.

"Baby, wag ka nang mag-alala please? I love you Aya."

"I love you too." I'm just thinking of coming back to her safely. I just want to hold her in my arms.

"Prince, warm up lap," Trixie reminded me and I took the customary lap. I don't really have to go too fast pero ilan sa mga kasama sa open ang nagpapasikat na kaagad sa paghataw kahit na warm-up pa lang. I spied Nathan's red Mustang at the head of the pack.

"Prince naka-input na sa AI ang track basta follow my instructions."

"Copy that Trixie," I slowed down and took my place on the starting lines. There are two columns of cars with eight cars on each side. There are ten laps with a scoring system in effect for standings on each lap.

Everything is so surreal; the quiet rumble of V-10 engines as they anticipated the signal, the spray of gravel as tires skid and sped, the steady drumming of the drizzle on my windshield, the smooth flow of water as it ever slowly trickled along my wipers.

The starting horn sounded and everything became a blur. My heart literally stopped beating as I released the brakes and Lady's speedometer surged to 220kph in four seconds. I found myself on a bottleneck sa unang turn. I slowed on the curve just as Kuya Ali taught me para hindi mapasali sa pile up ng mga kotseng naipit sa corner. I barely managed to escape pero tatlong kotse ang nagbanggaan. I watched as a Porsche 911 GT2 turn-turtled and had its rear smashed by the silver Mercedes Benz AMG right behind it. I stole a glance back and saw race officials and emergency personnel immediately attend to the pile-up. I'm on the third to the last position based on the board while Nathan is in second place.

"Prince i-bo-box-in ka niyang green na Challenger, unahan mo na. Overtake." Trixie instructed at nagpalit ako ng gear and accelerated before the car could move to position in front of me.

"One lap down, you are in Ninth position. Slowly but surely. Just make sure not to encounter any accidents." Yung puso ko parang nasa lalamunan ko habang lalong bumibilis is Lady. But I have to admit, she's one heck of a car. The car responds to my slightest movement at ang ganda ng lapat niya sa track the faster she goes. I could feel the wind as it buffeted Lady'spoilers and side skirts.

"Prince ko, I'll be waiting for you sa finish line," Aya's smile flashed in my mind and I realized I've really got nothing to worry about

I can do this.

The reality is, there is nothing to fear. Lady is in equal, or if of better standing among the other cars in this circuit. The only thing I need to do is believe I can do this because I have the best-engineered car coming out from the Agency.

I felt a grin start to form on my lips.

"Prince, enjoy the ride," I heard Kuya Alfred's voice as I passed two more cars. Seventh place. Sure thing.

I have my prize waiting for me at the finish line and it's going to be oh, so sweet.

------------------

I flinched when I felt Alfredo sit beside me on the bench. I focused my eyes sa computer screen na nag-mo-monitor ng system ni Lady. So far, so good. Ni hindi pa talaga nagagamit ni Prince yung full-potential ng modifications na ginawa ko.

Umalis ka diyan kasi malapit na akong umiyak at ayokong makita mo akong ganito. But I'm Bellatrix Luna - secret agent, at hindi ako pwedeng magpadala sa damdamin ko.

Kahit sa totoo lang kanina ko pa gustong umuwi dahil hindi na talaga ako komportable dito. Bakit ba kasi ako umo-o na maging mekaniko ni Alfredo? Kanina ko pa sinasaktan ang sarili ko. Ano Trixie, masokista-much lang?

"Stay clear of the blue Evo. Stay on the left," I instructed Prince. "Last four laps, you are in the fifth position. Time to be on the aggressive. Overtake on the next curve. Go wide."

"I brought you something to drink," I felt him hand me a carafe. "Drink. Nilalamig ka na." I stole a glance at him as I sipped. Warm milk tea.

Wag ka namang maging sweet kasi mas masakit na pinapansin mo ako pero hindi naman ako ang gusto mo.

"Kuya Alfred," I sighed when his attention turned to Aya who is nervously monitoring the race with us. Nasa may itaas nang stands ang iba dahil medyo lumakas ang ulan at baka magkasakit ang mga bata kapag nanatili dito sa tent. I watched as he enveloped his little sister in a bear hug.

"Baby girl okay lang yan, kaya yan ni Prince," he kissed her forehead and tried to ease her worry. "Mamaya millionaire na kayo. Manlibre kamo siya ha? Gusto ko sa mountain resort."

"Kuya talaga! Magkano ba pustahan niyo sa online?"

"There's a Brazilian businessman who is betting one mil against me and Kuya Alphonse," he grinned widely. "Underdog si Prince pero that makes it more sweet."

"Prince, sustain. Eat up the slack on the next curve," Boss Ali's voice sounded over the comm lines. "Sama ako pagbalik namin. Intayin niyo kami ni Maria makabalik."

"Ang daya mo, nakabakasyon ka na nga ngayon eh," Alfredo chuckled, "yung pasalubong namin ha? Twins dapat yan."

"Twins lang naman pala eh," Ali chuckled. "Pero baby girl kayo ni Prince ha, mag-aral muna. Graduation muna bago kasal."

"Opo Kuya Ali," hay ang sweet talaga ni Boss kay Aya. Ang swerte niya sa mga kuya niya.

"Kuya, baka pwede na next year? Graduate na ako nun," Narinig kong humirit si Prince.

"Subukan mo, ipapa-sniper kita kay Rika," Boss Ali laughed evilly. "Don't be in such a hurry. Pag kayo, kayo talaga."

"Two years na lang kuya?" Humirit ulit si Prince. Hay naku talaga!

"Kung tumawad ka wagas, anong 'kala mo sa kapatid ko, tilapia?"

"Kuyaaa!" Aya protested. "Wag ganon..." she was pouting pero kinurot lang ni Alfredo ang pisngi niya.

"Ikaw baby girl masyado ka na ha, spoiled ka na." He chided her as he set her on his lap. "Sabi ko di ba three years pa? Kailangan grumaduate ka muna."

"Hindi po ganon, sorry po." She wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "Sorry kuya."

"Prince, overtake in five," I took the initiative to break the tension. Nasa ikaapat na posisyon na si Prince habang pangalawa si Arroyo na nakikipaggitgitan sa silver na SLS AMG na nauuna. Matagumpay na naka-overtake si Prince at naging pangatlo.

"Slow down on the next curve saka ka mag-accelerate. Time to go for pole position," Nakita kong seryosong nakatitig si Alfredo sa screen.

"Can you hear that?" He asked as he cocked his head to one side. "There's something wrong with the AMG." I listened and sure enough kakaiba ang tunog ng makina nito.

"Bibigay yung AMG, get out of there Constantino," Boss Ali's voice turned serious.

"Can't I overtake before that happens?" Bakas sa boses ni Prince ang kaba.

"Prince, stay back. Wag ka munang mag-overtake," Alfredo instructed him and he lost a little ground pero he trusted Alfredo's instincts. Last two laps.

Nathan saw this as his chance and he tried to take the lead.

Just as the AMG's driver lost control of his vehicle at umusok ito dahilan upang humapas ang harapan nito sa pulang Mustang. The AMG's loss of momentum caused it to push the Mustang off the lane and into the grass area.

The crowd went wild at nakakabingi ang sigawan ng mga tao.

"Prince GO!" I watched as he dodged the AMG and the Mustang to take the fore. Okay Constantino, time to show your guts.

"Go all out."

I could feel the rising tension as Lady pulled away, accelerating to full speed for the last lap. The Mustang's wheels screeched and sprayed gravel as it tried to get out of the green and return to the track. Pero malaki ang nawala sa ilang segundo niyang pagkatigil at malaki na ang nakain ni Lady sa lead. Tatlong kotse na rin ang nakalagpas bago pa siya makalabas sa damuhan.

"We got this," Alfredo announced triumphantly. Pilit na humahabol ang pulang Mustang at mabilis na na-overtake ulit nito ang dalawang sasakyan. Maingay ang lahat ng nanonood dahil mananalo ang underdog na newbie.

"Tara baby girl, salubungin natin si Prince mo," he pulled her with him and they both ran down to the pit to congratulate Prince. Sumabog ang palakpakan dahil halos kalahating segundo lang ang pagitan nila sa pag-cross ng finishline.

"Congratulations," I called out to him as the checkered flag went down.

"Thanks Trixie, I owe you one. PC over and out," he took the customary victory lap before slowing down and stopping in front of the stunned crowd.

I couldn't help but smile when I saw Aya launch herself into his arms. I can clearly see the love in their eyes as they kissed and the crowd cheered louder.

-----------------

"Trixieee!" Syete bakit ba wala akong pwedeng pagtaguan sa tent na 'to? This freaking tent doesn't even have walls! Ano ba?!

"Trixieee!" Ano ba, Alfredo? Gabi na, tantanan mo na ako. May Lily ka na, Bleu, tapos si Jem pa. And I even spied some of the girls on the pit checking him out earlier... ano pa bang kailangan mo sa akin?

"Trix," he reached the tent and flopped down on the chair behind mine. "Galit ka ba sa'kin?"

"No," pagma-maang-maangan ko. I mean c'mon, aaminin ko bang nagseselos ako ganong wala namang kahit na anong meron sa aming dalawa. Ang feelingera ko naman di ba? "Bakit?" I kept my face neutral as I faced him.

His eyes were mellow and his cheeks were pink, he obviously had a lot to drink pero mukhang mataas naman ang tolerance niya."Can I help you with something?"

Ngumisi siya sa akin,"You are one fascinating creature." Holy... anong sinasabi nitong kumag na 'to?

Just then I heard the distinct rumble of engines and the screech of tires. I stood up at namataan ko ang dalawang kotseng humaharurot sa track. What the hell? Anong ginagawa ni Jem at Lily?

"They're racing each other as to who comes home with me tonight," I could feel his warm breath caress the hairs on my nape.

I watched as the two cars almost collided at the turn, neither one giving away an inch.

"And who do you think should win?" Ano ba Trixie, bakit mo ba yan tinatanong? Pero I wanted to know who holds his heart despite the obvious pain. At least once and for all pwede ko nang sabihing wala na akong pag-asa.

"Neither," He laughed. "I don't have any idea." I raised an eyebrow at that. Baliw ba 'to? Di ba niya napapansin na halos mag-giyera na yung mga babae para sa atensyon niya?

"Why don't you be responsible and tell them that?" Nakakaasar, hindi ba niya napapansin na nalalagay sa peligro yung dalawang baliw na babae para sa kanya?

"Whoa, galit ka?" He pulled my arm to face him. "Why would I be responsible? I didn't ask them to fall for me."

"Well make up your mind before somebody gets hurt!" My hands flew to my mouth. What the heck, Trixie? Ano bang sinasabi mo?

"Trixie?" His eyes narrowed at me, "are you sure you're okay?" I started to back away from him but he caught my arms. "Stop and look at me."

"Let me go," I warned him. I'm a trained agent and I can immediately take him down.

"Don't lie to me. You've been cold the whole time today," his hand came up to carress my cheek but I caught it before he could complete it's journey.

"Stop it," I glared at him. I'm not good at this. I can feel my heart starting to race with his closeness. "Sasaktan mo lang sila, bakit mo pa sila pinapaasa?"

"Hindi ko sila pinapaasa. I never said yes to any of them. I admit, mabait ako sa kanila. I am naturally like that pero I never said anything about being exclusive. And why is this such a big deal to you?"

I didn't want to talk anymore. Lalo lang akong humuhukay ng sarili kong libingan. Trixie, uwi ka na nga!

"Don't judge me just because of what you saw today. Hindi ako naglalaro pero I don't think what I feel for any of them is something as strong as love. Lily said she's in love with me and offered to run away from her fiancee but I don't see myself doing that for the rest of my life."

"A3..."

"I said to call me Alfredo. You are not in the field as an agent."

"I'm sor--" But I couldn't finish what I was going to say. In fact lahat ng thoughts ko lumipad sa langit when I felt him gather me in his arms and whisper softly to my ear.

"Do you wanna go for a ride?"

-----------------

"Whoa, that looks fun," My hand slipped on the pole at muntik na akong diretsong dumausdos sa lapag kung hindi ko nahigpitan ang kapit ng hita ko. What the hell is A6 doing here?

"Hi," he gave a small wave and a wide smile at me. As if everyday occurance ang magkita kami habang nakabitin ako patiwarik. Anak ng tipaklong na araw 'to.

"Pumasok na ako kasi sabi ni Edge andito ka raw sa training room." Si Edge? Close na ba kayo at binibisita mo na siya dito sa HQ? Saka bawal ang civilians dito. Aba sumosobra na 'tong mga Zabala na 'to. Nung isang araw si A3 nagdala ng foods (well in fairness, ang sarap ng free food!) tapos inin-vite si Jem at Trixie na sumama sa racing tournament, ngayon naman itong kumag na si A6. Ano bang nangyayari kay Jaguar? Nawawala yata ang pagka-terror niya nung makasama niya si 43.

"You're not supposed to be here. Sinong nagpapasok sa'yo?" I asked as I slid down fully to the floor. Buti na lang na-recover ko agad ang poise ko.

"Nakita ko si Edge sa mall, sabi ko I needed to see you so she brought me here."

"What do you need?"

"Thank you."

I breathed a sigh, "Yun lang? Okay, you're welcome." I dismissed him.

"Can I make it up to you? I know I was an ass last time," I turned to find him with a sheepish smile na lalong nagpasingkit sa kanyang mga mata. He didn't look much like Boss Ali, except for his nose and the cast of his jaw pero I guess girls also went gaga over him. Especially yung mga mahilig sa chinito. Pero I'm half-Chinese myself at sawa na ako sa chinito.

"No need. We're cool," I turned and picked up my towel to wipe away my sweat.

"C'mon Rin, not even a cup of coffee?"

"I don't drink coffee. It's 9PM paano ako makakatulog?" I looked at him and he looked crest-fallen, "tea na lang." I saw a grin replace the sad look in his face. Naman, broken-hearted ka di ba? Don't tell me gusto mong makipag-hang-out sa kagaya ko? Anak ng tortang tipaklong lang.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Okay, I have to admit I'm curious. This is the first time na may nag-invite sa akin for coffee. Usually I'm branded as a tomboy at allergic din ako sa mga pa-cute na guys. If you can't beat me, you can't date me; that's the rule. So far, wala pang nakakatalo sa akin kaya yes, I'm NBSB.

Isa pa, I don't feel comfortable with the idea of dating Boss Ali's brother. That in my book is mixing business with pleasure. Naman Rin, yung thoughts mo! Dating agad? Ininvite ka lang for coffee! What if gusto lang talaga niya mag-thank you?

Anak ng tumatambling na zebra. Tama si Trixie, hindi makatarungan ang epekto ng mga Zabala.

I immediately took a shower and changed. Ow, Rin akala ko ba hindi ka affected pero bakit nagmamadali ka? Pabayaan ko nga siyang maghintay. Wait, ano nga ulit pangalan niya? Until now, A6 pa rin tawag ko sa kanya.

O, wag na magpaganda. You've seen each other at your worst, and this is not a date. I took out my spare green, zebra-striped jacket and went back to the training room.

Okay, hindi ko expected ito.

As in, anak ng tinortang pole-BAKIT NASA POLE ITONG SI A6?!

I watched as he gracefully climbed the pole and twisted himself upside down before he effortlessly swung round and round to gently land on his feet.

Okay... sige na, ikaw na flexible. Mas magaling ka na sa'kin.

Syete, tinalo niya ko? Anong ibig sabihin nito? Oh no...

"Rin? Tara na?" He slid his feet back to his shoes and held his hand out to me.

-------------------

I felt the bed dip and I held my breath. Kasi naman 'tong si Babycake bakit ba kasi ang ilap? Kanina ko pa siya gustong kausapin pero ayoko namang makulitan siya at umalis bigla. I filled the whole room with drawings of her para maiparating yung message ko. I even asked the nurses to help me string the artworks around the room. May mga nangiti kasi daw ang sweet ko pero karamihan sa kanila parang nanghinayang.

I felt her gaze on me. Alam kong sinisigurado niyang tulog na ako. Pinaghandaan ko na siya kasi natulog talaga ako buong maghapon para naman mapagmasdan ko siya ng mas matagal ngayong gabi. May progress ba 'tong pinaggagagawa ko? After the drawing she left earlier this morning, nabuhayan ako ng loob.

Baby cake, hindi naman ako baliw di ba? Alam ko napapansin mo na rin ako.

Kahit si Adam napabilib kanina nung makita niya yung drawing ni Red. Grabe, gusto ko nang totohanin yun.

Shet, sana makalabas na 'ko dito para maligawan kita ng maayos. Promise, I will be very, very good to you.

What the--? I almost gave myself away when her callused fingertips touched my brow to brush away the hair from my forehead.

"Aidan..." her soft voice is so close to my ear I could almost feel the very air of their utterances. Sheer torture. Baby cake kawawa naman ako sa'yo. I'm aching to touch you pero ayokong magalit ka sa'kin.

"Thank you. Ang ganda ko naman dito."

Maganda ka talaga. My drawings pale in comparison to the living, breathing Red.

"Sana ganito ka lang lagi," I felt her come closer. "Pagod ka na ba?"

Hindi. Hindi ako mapapagod sa'yo.

"Sorry. Hindi ko kasi alam kung anong isasagot ko sa'yo. Men are naturally afraid of me pero ikaw, ang kapal mo sobra."

Aray baby cake... Sagutin mo na lang kasi ako.

"Ang kulit mo. Kung di ka lang kapatid ni Boss binaril na kita," I felt her feather-light touch on my nose. Oh no, wag diyan Red kasi baka mahatsing ako!

Buti na lang tinanggal niya agad kasi mahuhuli akong nagtutulog-tulogan lang.

"Aidan"

Bakit? Anong gusto ng baby cake ko?

I felt her make herself comfortable beside me on the bed.

"Buti na lang tulog-mantika ka," she sighed as her fingertips touched my lips. "Kaya lang feeling ko tuloy si Sleeping Beauty ka... Sleeping Shishio..." her voice had a hint of laughter. "Hala ano bang ginagawa ko?"

Ituloy mo lang baby cake. Ako kating-kati na akong lambingin ka. Sana payagan mo naman ako.

"Red and Aidan... sabi ni Rin ang arte ko daw kasi nagpapakipot pa ako," she confessed and I felt the unbearable need to move and hold her closer. Masakit na rin yung braso ko pero ayokong magreklamo. Sayang naman yung moment. "Ang kulit nila ni Jem inaasar ako ng baby cake. Bakit ba kasi sa dami ng terms of endearment baby cake pa naisip mo? Badtrip ka."

Bakit cute naman yung baby cake ah? Saka favourite ko yun... alangan namang baby, eh may baby girl na kami?

"Ang daldal ko na. Buti tulog ka kasi hindi ko 'to masasabi. Ang weirdo ko ba? Ano bang nagustuhan mo sa akin ha?"

Baby cake kapag may sparks wag ka nang kumontra. The first time I saw you, I knew you were the one kaya maniwala ka na. When I held you in my arms, I knew I'll risk my life to save you.

Aidan nababaliw ka na. You are both having a freaking one-sided conversation with each other. This has got to be the weirdest courtship ever.

"Reidan daw tayo sabi ni Rin," Red plus Aidan? Not bad. I like the sound of that.

I was not prepared for the soft brush of her lips on mine. It felt like all the blood in my body got zapped to hyper-awareness. I couldn't stop the automatic response of my body as I pulled her close, threw her leg over my hip to prevent her from kneeing my groin and grabbing her hair back so she couldn't head butt me.

I opened my eyes to gaze at her surprised orbs.

"Shhh... Red, don't fight me," I murmured as I sought her lips and made my pencilled dreams come to reality.

-------------------

The sound of the party faded out when I closed the door behind me. Ang daming nag-congratulate and I even had several businessmen approach me to offer sponsorship. Pero hindi naman talaga ako race car driver and I told them that. Some of them still insisted and left me their calling cards in case na gusto ko daw ulit mag-race.

I caught Aya by the waist and kissed her cheek. Eto... eto ang prize ko and they can have all the money as long as she is here in my arms. I saw her swallow hard as a blush formed on her cheeks.

"Takot ka?" I caressed her cheek.

"Hindi" she shook her head and hugged me, "I trust you."

"Sure ka ba baby? Hindi ka napipilitan?" She shook her head once more.

"Ayaw mo ba?" She looked unsure. Hay, Goddess ang cute mo talaga.

"Baliw lang aayaw sa'yo." I murmured softly as I tucked her hair behind her ear. "At hindi pa ako baliw." I gently guided her to the bed. She sighed softly when I kissed her jaw.

"Pwede na?" I slid my hands down to her waist, at the edge of her shirt. She nodded and smiled at me.

"Oo na nga," she pouted and I chuckled.

"Naninigurado lang. 'Lika dito baby,"Marahan kong iniangat yung shirt niya. I'm giving her all the power na pigilan ako kahit kanina ko pa talaga gustong tanggalin. Tumambad sa akin ang kanyang makinis na balat. I unhooked her bra and slid the straps down.

She turned away from me, "Teka wag kang tumitig." She was blushing so hard that a chuckle found its way on my throat. I pulled her on the bed to sit with me.

"Paano yun? Di ba dapat nga makita ko yan?" I moved forward and slid my arms around her waist, "Ano itutuloy pa natin?" I whispered huskily as I kissed her temple.

"Nahihiya ako," she mumbled in a small voice. "Ngayon pa lang may makakakita sa'kin na ganito."

"Dapat lang. Dudukutin ko mata nila," I murmured darkly as I slowly placed my hands to cover hers."Gusto mo mag-blindfold ako?"

"Hala..." she turned to look at me, "seryoso?" I nodded. "Wag na Prince. Masyado na akong madaya niyan."

"Don't be scared baby," I cupped her cheek and started to kiss her. Maya-maya naramdaman kong humawak na siya sa braso ko to turn towards me. I guided her to straddle my body.

"Goddess, ang ganda mo," I licked my lips as I committed to memory the vision of her in front of me. She tried to cover herself once more pero I was faster and I caught her hands. "Wag mong takpan." She was biting her lower lip and I pulled her close and kissed her, licking her abused lower lip. Dahan-dahang umakyat yung kamay ko papunta sa kanyang dibdib. She let out a harsh breath when my hand reached its destination.

"Okay lang?" I asked as I squeezed her gently. Sobrang pula niya and her blush extended all the way to her chest. Grabe ang puti ni Aya and the color contrasted beautifully on her skin. Para siyang mansanas.

She nodded her head, "Sigurado?"

"Basta madahan lang, please? Saka di all the way ha?" It was my turn to nod. I could feel my body's undeniable reaction towards her. Parang hindi rin ako makahinga sa init na aking nararamdaman. I pulled my shirt off and her eyes drank me in.

"Hindi. I'll save that for our wedding night," I murmured softly as I caught her lips in a gentle carress. "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable." I kept my touch light, smoothing down on her exposed skin. Goosebumps erupted with my every touch.

"Prince..." the sound of my name on her lips is my undoing.

"I love you Aya," I bent down let my kisses trail along her soft skin. Napapikit siya when my mouth latched onto her chest. Her hands slid on my nape to hold me close as her body reacted to the sensations. Her fingertips dug softly on my back with each delicious moan that escaped her lips. I slid my hands down and nudged her thighs higher so I can better position myself to kiss her.

"Prince?"

"Hindi pa natin gagawin yon. I want you to feel good," I murmured as I caught her lips and slid my tongue inside. Shet, hindi pa namin pwedeng ituloy pero mas grabe yung nararamdaman ko. Her soft touches, her nails digging on my flesh, her soft sounds... torturously sweet. This is probably the best and worst make-out session I've ever had.

"Prince, ano yun?" Her brow is furrowed. Her body seemed to have a mind of its own as it moved against mine. The friction is driving me crazy with want too.

"Let it go baby," I held her hips tighter and she breathed harshly against my ear. Our hearts thudded loudly on my ear as I slid skin on skin against her. "Let go."

She squeezed her eyes shut as she tightened her legs around my hips. I moaned as I continued moving against her.

"Is that...?" I nodded at her as I shuddered. "Oh..." I saw her bite her lower lip and I smiled down at her.

"Sarap?" Her eyes widened.

"Prince!" She swatted my arm. Hay ang cute niya mag-blush.

"Nahihiya ka pa sa'kin? Okay lang yun baby." I kissed her nose, "gusto mo pa?" She blushed harder and I laughed. Hay Aya ko, masasanay ka rin.
