MAINIT ANG TITIG NG LALAKI KAY SONDRA. Madilim ang anyo. Maximillian looked so dangerous with his sharp eyes and his lips just asked her a question that shook her whole system.

"You think sex is fun, Sondra?"

Kapag Sondra na ang tawag sa kanya ng lalaki, alam niyang pagsasabihan na siya nito. Pagagalitan. Pero matapang na nag-angat si Sondra ng tingin dito. Hindi pa sila gumagalaw pero kapwa humihingal sa presensya ng isa't isa... Sa sobrang paglalapit ng kanilang mga katawan.

Sondra wet her lower lip, curling it underneath her teeth that popped it out moist with her spit. Maximillian's eyes followed, open-mouthed as his eyes burned a gaze on her lips. Warm breath escaped from his lips. Ang lakas ng loob nito pagbawalan siyang uminom, eh lasing din naman ito katulad niya. What a hypocrite. His face flushed giving her another strong evidence of his drunkenness.

"You think it is fun, Sondra?" higpit ng kamay nito sa ilalim ng kanyang panga kaya lalo siyang napatingala. Nakatutok ang mga mata ni Sondra sa lalaki. A low growl was trapped in his throat, his eyes grew more passionate. From a small flame to destructive blazing fire.

Gagalaw sana siya para alisin ang kamay nito pero naunahan siya ng lalaki. Humigpit ang mga daliri nito sa gilid ng kanyang bibig at inangat nito ang sariling katawan para abutin ang mga labi niya. She moaned underneath his torrid and aggressive kiss. Mapupugto ang hininga niya sa intensidad ng halik na hindi niya napaghandaan.

Mabilis na bumitaw sa kanya ang lalaki. Inangat ni Sondra ang ulo at pinanood itong mag hubad ng suot na blazer. Nakatutok ang mga mata ni Maximillian sa kanya, nakabantay sa kanyang magiging galaw. Humihingal na tumitig lang siya rito. Naguguluhan. Malakas ang pintig ng puso... pero nag-iinit. May kung anong masarap sa halik na iyon kahit marahas. May kung anong nakaka-excite habang pinapanood niya ang pagbaba ng mga kamay ng lalaki sa butones ng shirt nito.

Akmang babangon siya pero tinulak siya ulit ng lalaki pahiga. Tumukod sa balikat niya ang kamay nito para ipirmi siya. Abala pa rin ang isa nitong kamay sa pagtatanggal ng mga butones.

"Millian..." hindi niya alam ang sasabihin. She was drunk but not stupid. Alam ni Sondra kung saan papatungo itong ginagawa nila. Nag-aalangan siya ngayon dahil wala siyang ideya kung paano o ano ang gagawin...

"You think this is fun, right?" a devilish smirk was on his lips. "We'll find out."

He harshly grabbed the neckline of her gown and tugged it down. Sondra gasped, seeing her breasts revealed in front of Maximillian. Gusto niyang takpan ang mga iyon pero nagdalawang-isip. Kaya ba niyang magdamot sa lalaki kung gusto nitong makita ang mga dibdib niya? Humigpit ang mga kamay ng lalaki sa magkabila niyang pulsuhan at mas humihigpit pa ang mga daliri ng lalaki sa tuwing napapakislot siya.

Her body jolted as his lips found her breast. He sucked hungrily and made a noise when he let it go, stretching her nipple before it popped away from his mouth. Napaliyad siya nung dumila ito ng paikot sa kanyang dibdib.

"Aaahhh..." kawala ng kanyang hininga.

Muli itong sumipsip.

"M-Millian, oh, Millian..." likot ng kanyang katawan na hindi mapakali.

It felt too good. It was too good. Nagpalipat-lipat ang bibig ng lalaki sa kanyang dalawang dibdib. He sucked on each nipple and nibbled, making her more flushed... panting with wanting. His spit went her nipple and skin, sending a chill when his lips release them. She wanted her nipples back inside his mouth to stay warm. Maximillian sounded so satisfied. His moans muffled as his cheeks hollowed while sucking her again. Bumigat ang katawan nito sa ibabaw niya. He began grinding on her. Her eyes widened at how hard he was, and how that hardness rubbed against her. That hardness reminded Sondra of how he looked the other day, at the beach, in his blue shorts...

That bulge...

Muling umatras ang lalaki. Tinaas nito ang kanyang paa at pinatong ang isa sa balikat nito. He held the other one in front of him and carefully removed her shoe. Maximillian pressed her feet against his hard chest. Humihingal na nakipagtitigan ang mga mata nito habang pinapadausdos pababa ang kanyang paa mula sa matigas nitong dibdib hanggang sa abs. She felt the cool buckle of his belt. Napalunok siya nang huminto ang paa niya sa umbok nito sa pantalon.

Bumalik ang mga mata niya kay Maximillian. He displayed a smug grin at her.

"I like that," he panted, taking off her other shoe. "You always looking at me like that, always wondering."

Pinagdikit nito ang mga binti niya. He bent them so that he can lunge closer to her. Nakapagitan sa katawan nila ng lalaki ang kanyang nakatiklop na mga binti. He held them in place with one hand and his other hand was busy unbuckling his belt.

Narinig niya ang pagkalansing ng bakal niyon. Then a delicious ripping sound from his zipper followed. Mabilis na napunta ang kamay nito sa ilalim ng kanyang palda. He swiftly pulled her panties off, reaching her ankles.

"My God..." bulalas niya nang ihagis iyon ng lalaki.

Masyadong naging mabilis ang mga pangyayari. Nagpaanod na lang ang katawan niya sa sunod-sunod na pag-alon ng mga kilos ng binata. Walang anu-anong pinasukan siya nito. Sumagad ang lalaki.

"Ah!" she cried.

Masakit. Mahapdi ang biglaan nitong pag-entrada kaya napapikit siya. He pulled out then slammed back in.

"Ah!" it was followed by her shallow breathing.

"Don't show me how pained you look," humihingal na hugot nito. Marahas na tinulak siya ng lalaki padapa. He pulled her legs and parted them. Maximillian positioned, hooked his arm underneath her neck.

He positioned her ass in an angle. Tapos dahan-dahan na itong pumasok.

"A-Ahhh..." kawala ng kanyang ungol. Unti-unti siyang napupunit ng paghagod ng kahabaan nito papasok sa kanya.

She felt his cock slowly filling her, stretching her open wider. She was puffing her breath, wondering how pain and pleasure taste good together. Sondra could not believe that was possible. Pain and pleasure are like salt and chocolate. A combination no one expects to work when together. His hips flicked a thrust.

"Ah!" usog ng katawan niya sa pagsagad nito.

"Yes," he licked on the side of her neck. "Let me hear how pleased you are, Sonny."

Sunod-sunod siyang inulos ng lalaki. Her moans duet with his grunts. Hindi malaman ni Sondra kung maiiyak ba siya o isisigaw ang kahalong dahas ng pag-angkin nito sa kanya. His thrusts were too forceful. Aggressively powerful. Their skin literally smacked as he slammed inside her.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" panunulas niyon sa kanyang mga labi sa tuwing sumusundot ang lalaki sa kadulu-duluhan niya.

"Beautiful," he sounded so breathless.

His other hand slipped underneath and reached for her breast. Pumiga roon ang lalaki.

"Ah!" hablot niya sa bedsheet dahil sa paglamukos nito. Her breast felt numb, her nipple hardened like a pearl that his fingers kept plucking.

"I hear you clearly," he gritted, heated and lusting more than ever. "You're such a good girl, Sonny. You taste so good like I know you would."

Isa pang piga nito sa dibdib niya ang nagpasigaw sa kanya. Then he began pounding, slapping his thighs against her ass. He was so deep his balls slapped against her too. Her breathlessness made tears rim and bead on the corners of her eyes.

Maximillian made it clear now. It wasn't fun. Sex was not fun at all. Lumayo ang katawan ng lalaki sa kanya. Walang pakundangan siya nitong tinuwad at muling pinasukan. Nanghihina siya sa naghalong sarap at hapdi. Her hole felt overstretched and sore at his size. How his cock dragged through it roughly. Patuloy iyon sa pagkaskas dahil sa mabilis na paglabas-masok ng lalaki. The scratching burned her skin, her only relief came when her wetness made him slippery. He began sliding with ease. Sondra's wetness trickled slowly on the skin of her inner thighs.

Dumulas ang kamay nito sa nakalantad niyang likod. His palm stroked with hot pressure against her skin.

"Oh, Sonny," he breathed in, taken-away by the very sight of her. "It's so hard not to love you. I only lose my control when I try... I become a beast..."

He reached for the back of her head and grabbed a handful of her hair.

"I become a beast so hungry for you!"

Dama niya ang pagpiga ng isang kamay nito sa puwitan niya habang ang isa namang kamay ay hinila siya sa buhok patingala.

"Millian... Millian..." ungol niya, pawisan na rin tulad ng lalaki at pulang-pula. Kung gaano kainit ang balat nito, ganoon din ang kanya.

He released a dragged set of moans. His thrusts became faster. Then they gasped when he pulled out.

"Ohhh..." subasob niya sa kama nang maramdaman ang mainit na pagpatilamsik ng katas nito sa kanyang puwitan. Sa kanyang pagsubasob, dumulas pabagsak mula sa kanyang ulo ang suot na korona. It only made a soft thud against the carpet.

He gave her a spank.

"Show your body to me, Sonny," he demanded, flipping her over.

Nag-iinit siya sa matiim na pagpasada ng mga mata nito sa kanyang katawan. Ang tanging abot lang ng paningin nito ay ang kanyang mga dibdib. Naipon na ang tela ng suot niyang gown sa kanyang baywang. He looked so proud of what he just did to her, but his eyes and his Adam's apple swallowing could not deny how she made him feel. Maximillian was throbbing for more. He was itching to touch her more and own her again.

Naningkit ang mga mata nito. He began to despise the thick skirts of her gown blocking his view of her body. The man was getting more primal and raw. He growled at how thick her skirts were. She heard some cloth rip as he tugged and pulled off her gown.

"Buka," anas nito at nabagalan sa kanyang galaw. How could she even move faster? Her body was feeling so heavy and sore already!

"Buka sabi!" utos nito sabay buka sa kanyang mga hita.

He immediately positioned between her thighs and inserted his cock.

"Ah..." At sumagad ulit ito. "Ah!"

His hands rubbed on her arms, his palm scorching her skin. Maximillian's lips were on the side of her neck, sliding his kiss.

Inangat ni Sondra ang kamay. Pinilit niyang tanggalin ang polo ng binata na suot pa rin nito pero hinablot siya nito sa pulsuhan. Napaimpit siya sa paghigpit ng kamay nito.

"I'm in charge, Sonny," he parted, "just submit under my power."

At nagsimula na itong umulos muli ng paulit-ulit.

"Millian... ah! Ah! Ah!"

Ganado ang lalaki. Sunod-sunod at halinhinan ang naging pag-angkin sa kanya sa gabing iyon. Her body bounced against the bed when he began pounding. She had him bite his lower lip so sexily, her mouth parted at the sight of him. He just looked down at her, eyes burning at the very sight of her underneath his body.

Ito na rin ang naghubad sa sariling mga damit. Ito na rin ang humawi sa kanyang buhok para padausdusin naman ang halik ng mga labi nito mula sa kanyang noo pababa sa ilong at muling sumakop sa kanyang mga labi. His torrid kisses were tasting better. His lips were bitter with beer but Sondra was so lost into it. She kissed him back and kissed harder when he gave her breasts another squeeze.

Naghiwalay ang mga labi nila kasabay ng pagsagad nito.

"Ah," he grunted.

Maximillian paused and panted, still inside her. Humihingal na napapikit si Sondra at inangat ang nanginginig na kamay para damahin ang mga labi ng lalaki. His lips shuddered. They shook in pure ecstasy. Their bodies seemed to shake and numb together from too much sex. He grabbed on her wrists again. Bumuwelo ng atras ang lalaki at sinimulan ang pagbayo sa kanya.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" likot ng kanyang katawan nang magsunod-sunod ang pagbayo nito.

Their bodies rocked back and forth. She gasped at his sweat, dropping hotly on her breasts like melted gold.

He pulled out. Patagilid siyang pinahiga ngayon ng lalaki at doon siya nito muling inulos habang hawak siya sa ilalim ng leeg. Nakatingala siya at nakasandal sa dibdib ni Maximillian. He peered over her and torridly kissed her lips while he resumed inserting from behind. His hand squeezed her breast roughly.

"Ah, Millian!" ungol niya nang maghiwalay ang kanilang mga labi.

Binilisan na naman nito ang pag-ulos.

"Millian!" nanginginig na hawak niya sa braso nito na nakahigpit pa rin sa ilalim ng kanyang panga.

He bit his lip and watched her eyes turn glossy and hazed with pleasure. Lalo nitong nilakasan ang pagsalampak, mas lalong ginaganahan sa nakikitang epekto sa kanya ng pag-angkin nito.

"I'm cumming," he panted. "But I'll still fuck you after I cum, Sonny."

And he was true to his promise.

Sondra found her legs dangling on the bed this time, receiving Maximillian's thrusts from behind. Hindi na siya makaungol sa sobrang pagod. She helplessly clutched on the bed sheet tightly while puffing and whimpering softly. His slick cock chucked in and out her wet hole like a freshly pulled out and pushed in liquid lipstick. He circled his hips and drove his penis deeper like a screw.

She could not help sighing at how good it feels. So good, her tears finally rolled down her cheeks. Inangat ni Sondra ang ulo at hinayaan ang hiluhin siya ng pag-urong-sulong ng kanyang katawan. Her mouth dropped open into a smile.

.

.

SONDRA GOT UP THE NEXT MORNING. She let out a pained groan and looked around. Nakailang kurap siya bago natulala at inalala ang mga nangyari kagabi.

Hindi niya alam kung mapapangiti ba nang mapagtagni-tagni ang mga iyon.

May nangyari sa amin ni Millian.

Sumilip siya sa ilalim ng kumot. She was still naked. Some areas of her breasts still carried marks from Maximillian's mouth. There was a disbelief how he officially marked her as his. Sondra gasped and clutched the thick blanket close to her body. She bit her lower lip.

He... He loves me!

Napangiwi siya nang subukang bumangon mula sa kama. Pero kailangan. Kailangan niyang mag-ayos at makausap ang lalaki. Magulo pa sa kanya ang lahat. Paano si Pepper? Ano ang gagawin nila ngayong nangyari na ito? Paano nila kakausapin ang mga magulang niya? She needed to ask Maximillian what will happen after that... after that night...

Naligo siya kaagad at nagbihis. Wala sa isip ngayon ni Sondra ang magpaganda. She wore a simple white dress and let her wet hair fall on her back. Nakailang tigil siya ng pagtakbo sa hallway dahil parang naninigas sa sakit ang kanyang mga hita.

She bit her lower lip.

We... we really had sex!

Sumilip siya sa kwarto ng lalaki pero wala ito roon. Kabado na nagtanong siya sa mga katulong sa salas.

"Nasa beach po siya, Ma'am," sagot ng nasalubong niya sa may salas nang mapadaan si Renante.

"Good morning, Sonny," nag-aalala pa rin ang lalaki pero mukhang relieved na rin ito na nakita siya. "Ayos ka na ba?"

She nodded. "I'm good!" And I am more than good, Renante!

"Tara, breakfast na tayo," nakangiti nitong anyaya.

"I want to see Millian first. See you sa dining room," she dismissed.

Tinungo ni Sondra ang tabing-dagat at tulad nga ng sabi ng katulong, naroon nga si Maximillian. Ang pantalon nito kagabi na kulay gold pa rin ang suot ng binata habang nakahiga sa bench. He was topless there. His arms were under the back of his head.

So beautiful, hindi niya mapigilan na maisip habang papalapit sa lalaki.

Hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala na kagabi lang ay nakahubad si Maximillian sa kanyang harapan. Nakakatakot ang dahas sa mga kilos nito ngunit dama niya na dala lang iyon ng intensidad ng damdamin nito. She could still feel them until now, in every ache of her muscles, his impact was still throbbing in her every fiber.

"Millian," tawag niya nang makalapit sa lalaki. "H-Hi."

Natigilan ito. Nagmulat ang lalaki ng mga mata at nilingon siya.

"Sonny," he smiled weakly.

Nanghihina pa rin siya kaya umupo muna siya sa bench katabi ng kinahihigaan ng lalaki.

Remember what Mom told you the other night, Sondra. Be strong. You're eighteen now.

"Millian, about last night..." nahihiyang umiwas siya ng tingin sa lalaki. "I just want to know kung para saan iyon..."

Napabuntong-hininga ito. Doon pa lang ay inatake na siya ng kaba. Ng pag-aalinlangan.

Hindi niya gusto ang ganoong klase ng reaksyon mula rito.

Napatingin na lang si Sondra sa sariling kandungan. Kabadong naglilikot ang mga kamay na magkahawak.

"I mean... how are we going to... explain it to... to Mom and Dad..." nagnakaw siya ng sulyap dito.

"I've been thinking about it all night, Sondra," wika nito sa wakas, kontrolado ang tinig. Matatag. Tumingala lang si Maximillian sa puno ng niyog na lumililim sa kanila.

Ganoon ba kahirap iyon? Couldn't he just tell her parents that they love each other that's why they did that? Then her parents might think it would be best to have them married. Pareho silang magiging masaya niyon, 'di ba?

Kaya nga sila nag-sex, 'di ba? Hindi kasi sila nakapagpigil. They have feelings for each other and it had gone beyond their control. It was that strong. The love they were feeling was so strong no human mind and force can lock it in their chests for too long.

"We shouldn't have done that, right?" he looked at her with strained face. "I know you are scared right now, because... it's just for fun, right?"

Para siyang piniga sa mga sinabi ng lalaki. "So, 'yung kagabi... it's just for fun?"

He swallowed and looked away. "I don't know what drove me to do it. Hindi ko dapat ginawa iyon, Sondra."

Namasa ang mga mata niya sa narinig. "You're regretting it."

"I'm sorry I did that to you," dala ng pagkapahiya kaya hindi na nito magawang tumingin sa kanya. "Hindi ko ginusto iyon."

That ended everything for her.

Hindi ko ginusto iyon...

Hindi ko ginusto iyon...

Hindi ko ginusto iyon...

Dumausdos na ang mga luha sa kanyang pisngi. Dama ni Sondra ang panginginig ng kanyang katawan habang hinihilamos ni Maximillian ang sariling mukha gamit ang mga kamay.

"We'll be screwed for this," he harshly breathed out.

"Hah," pigil niya sa sarili na mapahagulgol. Umiiyak na siya, eh. Ayaw niya nang palalain pa iyon. "They don't have to know then. Then we won't be screwed, right?"

Nilingon siya ng lalaki. Hindi niya alam kung namamasa lang ba ang mga mata nito tulad niya o akala lang niya iyon. Her sight, after all, was being clouded by her tears already.

The ocean was blurry. Hindi na tuloy niya makita sa tanawing iyon ang alaala nila. 'Yung araw na lumalangoy sila sa dagat na iyon, naghahabulan at naglalaro. All of them became vague now. Blurred by her tears. Blurred by this.

This pain.

"I don't know if you will forgive me for this... Sonny..." pigil nito ang paghinga.

"Come on," iling niya. "It's just for fun, right, Maximillian?"

Pain writ on his eyes. His hand slightly shook. Kagat niya ang pang-ibabang mga labi at masakit na pero kailangan. Hanggang pagluha lang ang gagawin niya sa harapan ng lalaki, hindi niya kayang ibaba pa ang pride at humagulgol pa sa harap nito. Sondra needed to stop her lips from releasing the pain that was starting to tear her deep inside.

"Don't be scared," dahan-dahan nitong upo. "They won't know, Sondra."

Napayuko na lang siya. Her gasp finally escaped. She tried so hard to swallow her cry but it came out eventually. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang gagawin kay Maximillian. A part of her wanted to kill him already. A part of her wanted to just die.

"I'm really sorry..."

"No," tabig niya sa kamay nito na humaplos sa kanyang pisngi. She steadied her eyes on him. "Just don't touch me now, Millian. I don't like the sex so you have nothing to be sorry about. I'll be fine after this."

"Are you sure, Sonny—"

"Of course, I am sure!" Taas-noong tumayo na siya at pinahid ang mga luha. "You are right. I'm just scared my parents will know this and now that you said you'll make sure they won't know... Thank you... T-Thank you kasi magiging secret lang ito."

He lowered his eyes. Bumagsak ang mga balikat ng lalaki at tumango-tango.

Umiiyak na tinungo niya ang silid ng kanyang ina. Gusto niyang umiyak nang umiyak at ito ang unang nasa isip ni Sondra na malalapitan. Even if she cried to her mother, she was comfortable to know that Jessica would let her cry her heart out without prying or bombarding her with questions. Yayakapin lang siya nito at hahayaang umiyak ng umiyak.

"Mom?" katok niya sa pinto nito. "Mom?"

Habang patagal ng patagal na hindi ito nagbubukas, tuluyang napapalitan ng kaba at takot ang dinadala ng kanyang dibdib.

"Mom!" kalabog niya sa pinto. "Mom! Open the door! Mom, are you alright there? Mom!"

NILINGON NI SONDRA SI RENANTE. Nagprisinta ang lalaki na ihatid siya sa Hawthorne mansion. Gabing-gabi na rin nung nakauwi siya. Hindi na kasi bumalik pa ang lalaki sa opisina nito at niyaya siyang maglibang-libang. Pagkatapos kasi niyang magkwento, hindi na rin napigilan ni Sondra ang maiyak. Of course, Renante would not allow her to leave in that condition.

She tried her best to smile despite of her tears. Pero hindi pa rin niya nakuha sa ganoon ang kaibigan. Iba talaga si Renante. He always makes sure that his friends would leave him feeling better. Kaya naman hindi siya nito iniwanan hanggang sa maging okay na siya.

Huminto ang kotse nito sa tapat ng porch. She patted him on the cheek.

"Kanina ka pa tahimik," ngiti niya rito.

He sighed and smiled at her. "I guess, I'm still shook about what I found out."

"Ano ka ba?" tawa niya rito. "It's all in the past."

"All in the past, but you still linger in it," iwas nito ng tingin. Napansin niya ang paghigpit ng mga kamay ng lalaki sa manibela.

"Well, what can I do? Hindi naman ginusto iyon ni Millian," ayos niya sa sarili at pinilit na matawa. "Oh, come on, Renante! We're just drunk that night!" Inabot niya ang pinto ng kotse para bumukas iyon. She stopped and turned to Renante. "Say, do you have plans for the weekend?"

Nakangiting nilingon siya nito. Nakakapagtaka na biglang naging masigla ulit si Renante.

"Not that much. You want to go out with me?"

Sondra nodded. "Sure."

He smiled wider. "Great."

Pagkababa ng sasakyan, hinatid niya ng tingin ang papalabas na sasakyan ni Renante.

Nang nakalabas na ang sasakyan ng gate, tumalikod na siya at pumasok ng bahay. Saktong pagsara ni Sondra ng pinto ay humahakbang na pababa ng grand stairs si Maximillian. He pulled the cigarette stick off his lips.

"Around midnight and you're still with Renante," he stated lowly, threat was under his tone.

Matapang na hinarap niya ang lalaki. "Yes, so?"

Madilim ang anyo nito, maingat ang mga hakbang pababa ng hagdan para lapitan siya. Hawak lang nito ang may sindi na sigarilyo.

"May usapan tayo, 'di ba? We're going to talk tonight," he gritted combined with his steely gaze.

"We're talking now," ekis niya ng mgabraso, mataray lang na sinalubong ang titig ng lalaki.
