I blinked twice trying to understand what he's been saying. I took him bare? What does that suppose to mean? And then I felt him slipping off me, my eyes widened in realization. I looked at him and he's watching me closely.

"Oh my God..." I shook my head. "Would that make me pregnant?"

I put my hand over my mouth, I couldn't contain my gasp. He's right, we did it without protection. I didn't know much about sex, but I sure know how important rubber is. He should've been very careful about it! I should blame him but could I? He said I made him forget things, if there's anyone who could understand him in that kind of situation it should be me. I was in that moment with him and neither I remembered the importance of safe sex.

"I couldn't get pregnant..."

"You're not under any birth control?" Now that sounds ridiculous, I shot him a glare.

"Why would I be needing it? I wasn't sleeping around!"

"My thoughts exactly," he leaned and kissed my forehead before pushing himself up away from me. "I never had unprotected sex, I don't know how this will go. Maybe we'll just wait..."

"We'll just wait?!" I exclaimed, getting up and pulling the sheets beside me. "No, Oxygen! I can't be pregnant! We've got to do something-"

"Hindi ka pa buntis. Hindi pa natin 'yan masasabi." He breathed in and out, looking at me with warm eyes. "Okay, let's just hope you're not. Wag mo na muna masyadong isipin. May masakit ba?"

With that question, I was suddenly aware of the pain in between my thighs. It hurts but it's tolerable. I shifted my eyes on him, it landed on the ripped muscles of his chest. "It will be better if you'll wear some shirt."

"Nahiya ka pa, sabihin mo lang kung gusto mong tikman. Hindi naman ako madamot." He grinned annoyingly, only made me blush! This man knows exactly how to make me feel embarrass anytime he want. "God, baby, stop blushing or I'll be in between your thighs again. It's tempting but I rather let you rest."

"Oxygen, pwede bang tumahimik ka nalang?" I looked away, starting to get uncomfortable. I've seen in movies, people who aren't couple really find it awkward to face each other after sex. I feel it, too. I don't know about Oxygen, he doesn't seem to mind it. "Will you please get out of my room and let me have some space."

"Now I feel being used. Ouch, that hurts." He said. "Ano, Gabgab? Ganon nalang 'yon? Matapos mong gamitin ang katawan ko, itataboy mo na ko? Aba, Gabanna. Hindi ako basta bastang lalaki, may dignidad ako."

I even heard him groan, I can't help but roll my eyes. "Oxygen, ang drama mo! Edi wag kang lumayas kung ayaw mo!" Wrapping the sheets on my body I stood up.

I winced, I'm sore. I bit my lower lip taking in the discomfort until it eased a little. I can still feel him in between my legs and that idea heated my cheeks.

"Masakit ba masyado? Come, I'll help you." He stood up without minding if he's wearing nothing. He went near me and I took a back, shifting my gaze on his face. A frown formed his forehead. "You don't want me helping you?"

"Not in your birth suit, Oxygen De Salvo." Naeeskandalo kong sabi habang mas pinaghigpitan ang kapit sa kumot na siyang tanging bumabalot saking katawan. "Put on something!"

"Ito naman, parang di pa ko nakapasok." Nakangisi pa niyang sabi. He inched closer and took me by the waist. "I'll get the beddings..." Inangat niyang bahagya ang kumot na bumabalot sakin, niyuko ko iyon upang sana'y sawayin siya nang makita ko ang mantsa doon. My heartbeat hammered. "I won't let you sleep with this and I don't have extra sheets here. Kaya sakin ka nalang matulog..."

I squinted my eyes on him, trying to put some distance between us. "I don't trust your kind of sleeping-"

"Wag kang judgmental, baby..." he chuckled, leaning down to kiss the tip of my nose. "Much as I'd love to have you all night, I have to keep my wang in my pants. You're sore and tender, you deserve some rest..."

He's right, I'm feeling bone tired. I didn't know that sex could hurt this much. But one thing is puzzling me. I looked up to him. "Oxygen, w-was I? W-was I a virgin?"

His lips stretched a smile, a triumphant one. "I never care about women's virginity, loose or tight, women are women. But I can't deny it, baby, I'm glad you are..."

"I-I wasn't... raped" my voice broke. Waiting for confirmation, the beating of my heart stops.

"You weren't. Still, he abused you." His jaw tightened, looking away and finally giving me some space. He cleared his throat before changing the subject. "Going back, I'm seriously offering my room for you to sleep in."

I raised my brow at him, crossing my arms on my chest. His grin grew wider.

"Now, baby, you're looking hot. Stop that, you're turning me on."

My eyes automatically moved down from his face to his thing, it sprung hard. He's indeed turned on. I gasped and quickly lift my eyes back to his face. The heat spread from my neck to my ears and to my whole face! I feel so embarrassed!

"You can't blame me." He shrugged.

"Goodness, Oxygen De Salvo!"

Getting off the bed wearing nothing but an underwear beneath Oxygen's pullover shirt that barely reached my thighs, wasn't something I'm used to doing. I smiled, roaming my eyes around. I woke up in his room because I've slept on his bed.

Last night, Oxygen removed the beddings in my room because of the bloodstains. So, he had me sleep in his room. With him. I was reluctant at first but he made it sounds like a good deal by offering me a warm bath on his tub. Alone, of course. The thought of sharing a bath with him made my face go warm. I shook my head and started looking for my slippers, it was properly placed in one corner. I went over there and get it.

What happened yesterday wasn't something I expected. Not with Oxygen, never with him. It was a bliss, I didn't regret it. And another thing that puzzled me is that, I was a virgin. I was violated but it didn't get as far as Oxygen had gone through. I smiled at the idea that he was my first. I couldn't think of anyone worth giving it to than Oxygen. He have wanted me knowing everything. He was never disgusted. He showered me praises like no one else ever did.

I went downstairs to look for Oxygen, he's not in the room when I woke up. Well, I woke up late. I've slept really good and he did keep his promise to let me rest, although his kisses across the skin of my neck woke me up at some point of my sleep but he didn't go beyond that.

It's already ten in the morning so I assume he's out for some morning jog at the beach or maybe went fishing, things he usually do. I walked past the kitchen when I realized he's not there. Then I heard the roaring of boat engine, I rush to the front porch to see him. No, I'm not excited.

From a distance, I saw him getting off the boat, carrying a huge pail. He's wearing a pair of cut off sweats, revealing the toned muscles on his shoulders down to his arms. The weight of the pail made his veins go visible on my sight. Jesus Christ!

I immediately got his eyes locking on mine, Oxygen in the morning is breathtaking. He's like a major work of art under the sun, he'll keep attracting everyone's attention, I'm sure of that.

Watching him walk towards me, I noticed that he's got his face groomed. He's got his stubbles trimmed. With or without it doesn't make him any less gorgeous. His solemn brows were offset by a boyish grin.

"Nag-mumukha ka lalong masarap sa damit ko," bati niya habang sinusuri ako ng tingin na siyang agad na nag-painit ng aking mga pisngi. "Patikim nga..."

"Oxygen!"

He chuckled and put down the pail before stepping on the porch. He stopped meters away from my stand and spread his arms, he shot his brows and looked at me like I supposed to know what to do next.

I looked at him, puzzled.

"Lika na, paamoy na ko sa baby ko. Namiss ko agad, e..." Malambing niyang sabi. "Wag ka ng mahiya sakin, tayo lang naman nandito..."

There's nothing funny on what he said but I found myself grinning, taking steps closer to him. Hindi na niya ako naantay pa, he quickly seized me by the wrist and pulled me against him with enough determination, locking his arms around my waist. He leaned down to my ear.

"I'm not an angel but you sure smell like heaven," he nibbled the swirl of my ear. Then he moved away to cup my face with both hands, his naughty grin made me imagining. "You look so fucking sexy right now..."

I beg to disagree, it's him who looks so freaking insane. All sweaty yet fresh. I could even smell the sea water in him but that couldn't beat his natural scent that seems to linger in my nostrils.

His thumb finger brushed my cheek and without a warning, his head went down to claim my lips. Oxygen made me feel like kissing is flying, it's as if with his lips on mine, the world is opening beneath me. His kisses were softer than a feather but stronger than a thousand seas.

I feel like melting, my legs were shaking. I put my hands on his shoulder and answered his kisses. I have never felt something as perfect as this.

I have no idea how long it lasted but I moved away, breaking it, when I feel the need to grasp some air. I think Oxygen has a better endurance when it comes to kissing, it's like he already mastered the art of it.

Chuckling, he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him. "Ganon ang good morning..."

Nakangising hinaplos ko ang kaniyang pisngi, pababa sakanyang panga. "Why did you shave?"

"Nasusugatan ka, e." Malumanay niyang tugon. "Namumula yung ibang parte ng balat mo, ayokong nasasaktan ka dahil sakin."

His words strikes me again. I like the roughness of his stubbles though he's right, some part of my skin reddened because of it. His concerned eyes started spying my body. "Oxygen, I'm fine."

"Masakit pa ba?" He asked.

"A little but it's tolerable. Aside from my knees buckling sometimes, I'm good." I honestly said.

"Then you shouldn't be standing here. You should be taking more rest upstairs. Ano ka ba naman, Gabbana?!"

I gasped when he slipped his arm on the back of my knees and carried me. "Oxygen! I can manage, put me down!"

"You have to stay on bed until you're good or I'll be carrying you around all day, there's no way I'm letting you walk." His determined voice tells me that there's no point on arguing with him. "Gutom ka na ba?"

I wrapped my arms around his neck as he walks inside the house. "Oo,"

"I visited a friend, he owns the neighboring island." He said. "Nagulat nga ko, siya pala may-ari. Sa bahagi kasing 'yon maraming isda."

I nodded my head. "What's his name?"

"Bakit interesado ka?" He frowned at me. "Gabbana, mas pogi ako dun."

Hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero natawa ako sa sinabi niya.

"Tatawanan mo pa ko." Reklamo niya.

"Kasi naman, nag-tatanong lang ako kung anong pangalan. Ano naman ang pakialam ko kung gwapo siya?" I rolled my eyes.

"Pakialam mo rin kung anong pangalan niya?" Masungit niyang sabi habang humahakbang paakyat ng hagdan.

My eyes widened. "Oxygen! Where are you taking me? I said I'm hungry!"

"Narinig ko hindi ako bingi." Nanatili siyang masungit. "Gutom din ako,"

"Oh, kaya nga! Edi kumain tayo."

"Kaya nga, kakain tayo." His angry frowned relaxed and I saw a wicked gleam on his eyes. He stopped in front of his room and started opening the door. "Kailangan kong mabusog..."

"Oxygen, ang bastos mo! Sobra!" I groped his hair from the back almost pulling it off his head.

"Aray, wala pa nga nanabunot ka na. Lalo mo lang ako pinapasabik, Gabgab." Malakas siyang humalakhak papasok ng silid.

He gently put me down the bed, kissing me torridly. His hands were quick to roam all over my body. Squeezing my breast above the shirt I was wearing, I arched my back, throwing my head on the pillow, surrendering on his assault.

My body responded instantly with his demand. He swiftly dealt with my clothes and before he could rip my underwear again, I took the initiative to pull it down for him. He barked out a laughter and began palming me there.

My stomach flattened, he went on top of me. "I'll make it quick. I have to prepare your food, so I should really make this quick. But dang, baby, this pussy is begging for touch..."

I closed my eyes and focused on his fingers doing wonder on my below. He made a W shape with his index, middle and ring. Then he began drawing his hand down the bottom and up again, sliding his middle to touch my sensitive bud.

"Damn, I feel like stroking a fire..." he whispered huskily against the skin of my neck before his finger slipped inside me. "Sabihin mo kung masakit pa, ikikiss ko..."

I can't decide if he's serious or just joking around because his laughter vibrated on my skin. But to hell with me wanting him to do it. I kept my mouth shut, catching my bottom lips between my teeth. I tensed when he added another one inside.

"Relax, just lie back and let me make you cum..." He said with a promise of pleasure and delight.

His fingers started to move in and out my core. I was slowly going up in smoke.

Oxygen is indeed a big fan of my breast, no matter how quick it is, he still showered it kisses and squeezes enough to have me begging. This man indeed knows how to please women. He knows exactly what buttons to push.

Slipping off his shirt and pulling down his sweatpants, freeing his shaft. He went back on kissing me. The gentle persuasion of his kisses rendering me crazy, whimpering and begging. He moved and extended his arm somewhere, my eyes were shut and I was drunk with his kisses. I heard the opening and closing of the wooden drawer, then the ripping sound of foil. That's when I shot my eyes open.

"Muntik ko na naman makalimutan..."

I grinned and watched him slip the rubber on his length. Then it cushions against the opening of my portal, I inhaled softly. Arching my back to better accept him. My brain wouldn't focus. His coated shaft went it.

"Fucking tight..." he groaned. "I like it better without barrier, God, baby..."

"Oh my God..." I moaned.

"That's it, wrap it good..." He growled, locking my lips with his. "Tell me, Gabbana... tell me how much you love me going in and out your tight heavenly pussy..."

His order awakens so much sensation within me. I whimpered again.

"Tell me, baby..." He thrust deeper.

"I... I-I..." Do I have to say it? He paused a little, making me sexually frustrated. God, he knows how to play the game. I want him! "I love it, Oxygen. Oh God, I love it so much!"

His tongue traced the outline of my lips tasting me. "Mmm, good girl. Now I want you to come for me, hard..."

After slipping back his pullover and changing into a new pair of underwear, I looked for my phone. Oxygen is downstairs, cooking for us. Before he went down, he told me to call Zander, he said it was urgent. He just missed to tell me that earlier because he'd been instantly worked up seeing me at the front porch wearing nothing but his shirt. Silly as it may sound but I like it.

The quick moment we had a little while ago could match with the sensation I felt yesterday, though I feel a bit comfortable doing it the second time.

When I saw my phone, I started dialing Zander's number. Three rings and picked it up.

"Zander.."

"Gabby!" I heard him sighed in relief. "It's good to hear you after a long while."

Now I'm guilty for not calling him. "Sorry..."

"Forget it," he shrugged it off. "Anyway, I'm flying back tomorrow with dad. Mom's with grandmamma, they'll follow few days after."

I gasped, I didn't know he's in Vegas. Or New York? Whatever, I didn't know he's abroad! And now he's telling me he'll be back tomorrow, with dad! Not just that, mom is coming, too. "H-how about Chanel?"

"She moved in with her boyfriend," he huffed annoyingly. My forehead knotted a frown. No way, he must be kidding! "Yes, baby, believe it. She's got herself a boyfriend. They're staying at a beachfront house in L.A., she's done with her beat up truck and is now driving a mustang."

Now that's too much! Chanel having a boyfriend is just too much to fathom and her living in with someone is so much more! "And dad is okay with that?"

"He's not. Had the bastard didn't put a diamond on her finger, he won't be getting her off our parents' roof. Besides, mom's a fan of that guy." He said.

"Wait, what?!" I snapped. "She's getting married?!"

"Yeah, sounds like it. Whatever. Dad has so much in his hands right now, Chanel will be the least of his concern and I swear I'll rip her boyfriend's head off if he ever made her cry. That's my baby he's taking, he should take good care of her." Now he sounded like a big brother.

I'm beginning to wonder how will he react once he learned that I'm going under the sheets with Oxygen. Should I tell him?

"Gabby, I need you to stay with Oxygen for a little more time. Dad and I needs to do something important and I'm going to tell you everything once we're done." He sighed. "I know you hate Oxygen, he's got everything you have to hate. But he's keeping you safe. Just a little more time, baby. A little more time."

I froze, unable to speak. Little did he know, I'm done hating Oxygen.

"I love you, Gabby. I trust you. I trust you won't let that jackass rip you open through your pants."

And little did he know, Oxygen had already ripped a couple of my briefs.
