EARLY MORNING. DINIG ANG MGA YABAG NILA sa yate habang nagtatakbuhan. Bree spun around and waved Virgo's magazine.

"Kailan pa ito?" tumatawang buklat niya ulit doon para silipin ang mukha nito sa isa sa mga pahina.

It was a girl's magazine, an old issue. Naroon ang batang-bata na mukha nito. Nasa ilang mga pahina si Virgo, iba-iba ang mga pose. Pero ang pinaka nakakatawa talaga para sa kanya ay 'yung up-close nito na pa-cute kung ngumiti. He also had those old-school haircuts, a replica of Leonardo DiCaprio's signature Titanic look. It was the kind of magazine article that features the guys that girls were crushing on.

Virgo let out a groan. "I'm so glad Mama forgot to bring that one back in Manila! Too bad you found it!" sugod nito sa kanya kaya tumatawang tumakbo agad si Bree.

Oops. His arms caught her waists.

Hinila siya ng lalaki pabalik dito. Bumangga sa dibdib nito habang inaagaw ang magazine na yakap-yakap na niya.

"Come on, akin na iyan."

"Grow up! Hayaan mo namang may tawanan ako!" bungisngis niya.

"I really curse that photo shoot!"

She threw her head back and laughed. Bumaba ang tingin ni Virgo sa kanya na nakasandal ang likod ng ulo sa balikat nito. He lowered his head and covered her mouth with his. Mabilis na pinasok ang dila sa kanyang bibig at naglaro doon.

Her body softened against his hold. She swirled her tongue and danced with Virgo's. Pinalaya siya nito, inagaw ang magazine at hinagis sa kung saan. He grabbed her arms and pushed her against the wall. She pulled his face close to her and their torrid kiss resumed.

Virgo lifted her leg, spread her open to feel his grind. Kumiskis ang likuran niya sa pader sa bawat pagkiskis na natatanggap dito, pero palaban na nakipagsabayan siya. She ground back, encouraging his cock to go rock hard under his shorts. His other hand cupped on her breast, stroked and squeezed.

Tinulak niya ito sa dibdib para makapaghabol ng hininga, patuloy sa pagpitik ang mga balakang niya habang kumikiskis sa lalaki. Bree watched how they rubbed against each other. Her eyes slid upward- to his bare chest, to his strong jaws, to his hooded predatory gaze.

Humaplos ang palad nito sa kanyang pisngi. He finally managed a smile.

When their lips met, this time, their kiss was slow, more tender and forgiving.

.

.

THE DAYS IN THE YACHT FELT SLOW. Sex all the time could be pretty boring too. Buti na lang creative si Virgo. Maglalaro sila ng video games. Sex ang reward ng mananalo. Uupo sila sa deck at magi-star gazing. Hihiga para magmilagro. Pinapakita sa kanya ng lalaki ang bawat silid na hindi pa siya pamilyar. Maging ang engine room, na medyo may kainitan. Puro makina ang nasa loob at gumagana. Everything wthere was black and silver.

She was only innocently following him, but Virgo suddenly turned and pinned her against the wall. His torrid kiss crushed her lips.

Then they were back to the bedroom.

Hindi na pala sila nakaabot doon. He pushed her against the railing and lifted her skirt.

His hand smoothed against her butt, pulled down her panties.

"You don't need to wear these here," he harshly muttered while untying the knot of his shorts. "You know that we'll be fucking all the time, Bree."

Her cheeks felt hot. "Yes, Mr. President," lingon niya sa lalaki.

He parted his legs and slowly pushed in.

"A-Ah!" higpit ng kamay niya sa railing.

Tuloy-tuloy na umulos si Virgo. Umugoy ang katawan niya kasabay ng pag urong-sulong nito. Inabot nito ang tube top ng kanyang sundress, marahas na hinila pababa para ilantad ang kanyang mga dibdib. Dumakma ito sa isa at lumamas.

"Virgo..." ungol niya.

She puffed a labored breath as he rammed faster. Mahilo-hilo siya sa mabilis na pagyugyog ng kanyang katawan, nanunulas ang nakahawak na kamay sa railing kaya pinatungan na iyon ng kamay ni Virgo. He held her tight and in place, another hand gripped her hip as he continuously thrusted. One deep shove made her slam against the railing before he pulled out.

He slapped his cumming cock behind her thighs.

Then she would help Virgo cook. Natatawa na lang siya nung i-challenge siya nito na magpagandahan sila ng pagkaka-carve sa mga prutas. Pinanlakihan siya nito ng mga mata nang ipakita kung ano ang inukit niya sa isang hiwa ng pakwan.

It was a flat version of a cock.

"Naughty," yapos nito sa likuran niya. He popped a seedless grape in her mouth that she happily chewed.

As it juiced, he made her face him and gently licked on her lips.

"Patikim," katok ng labi nito sa kanya. She let him sip a bit bago natatawang nagtitigan sa mga mata.

Tumalikod agad siya at pinakita ang pakwan na inukitan. She bit the tip.

"You always find a way to blow my mind," natatawang iling-iling nito, hinuhugasan ang kamay sa kalapit na bowl ng tubig.

She spat a seed at him. Tumama iyon sa leeg nito.

"You brat," he devilishly smiled.

"Virgo!" bumubungisngis na singhap niya nang itulak nito pahiga sa couch.

Pumaimbabaw ang lalaki at marahas na hinalikan siya sa mga labi.

Her hand felt his chest... mindlessly searching for the pounding of his heart. But he grasped it and pinned it against the seat. His knee knocked her legs to part. Another hand slid under her skirt, tugged her bikini aside and stroked her slit.

"Ahh..." tingala niya, napapapikit sa sarap ng paghagod nito.

"Like it?" his hot breath kissed the side of her face.

"Yung prutas..." paalala niya sa dapat na ginagawa nila.

"What? I have one fruit to juice here," dahan-dahang pasok ng mga daliri nito sa hiwa niya. "And you have one fruit to juice as well..." he dirtily murmured.

He fingered her roughly, arching her back, making her squirm beneath his weight. She was left breathless by the relentless moans and pleading. Her body tensed and shook and softened in his touch. Masidhi ang pag unat ng mga binti niya nang gumuhit ang isang daliri nito sa kanyang clitoris habang tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang paglabas-masok ng dalawa pa nitong mga daliri. Mangini-nginig nang bumilis ang mga daliri nito. Her toes curled as orgasm was approaching, as she felt sticky and more wet between the thighs.

Humaplos siya sa mukha ng binata, napatitig sa nanlalambot nitong mga mata at nakaawang na mga labi. She reached for his waists and as much as he was reluctant to pull his fingers out, he allowed her to make the rules this time.

Hinila niya ito pabangon. Napaluhod ito, nakatukod ang mga tuhod sa kabilaan ng kanyang katawan. She excitedly pulled down his shorts and stroked his cock to full erection. Bree propped her upper body up with an elbow and placed him in her mouth.

Kontroladong napahawak ang lalaki sa ibabaw ng backrest sa tabi nito. He let out a ragged breathing as she slid his cock faster in and out of her mouth. Her spit, his slickness blended and made him smooth against her lips... her mouth... her swirling tongue. She pushed him deeper, her lips reached a quarted of his base. Nilapat niya ang dila sa kahabaan nito at kinaladkad iyon kasabay ng pagkaskas ng mga labi niya rito.

"O-O-Ohhhh, Bree..." ungol ng lalaki na napasabunot sa kanya.

She was hesitating to let go upon reaching his tip. It popped out of her mouth and Bree threw her head back, panting.

Umupo si Virgo at hinila siya pabangon. Kinandong siya nito at pumosisyon siya para masakyan ito.

She held his cock upright and set aside the bikini she was wearing below. As she descended, he drove his length upward... deeper within her.

"Ah!" lapat ng puwitan niya sa mga hita nito.

She slowly rocked back and forth, caressing his shoulders, gazing with half-closed eyes into his dark ones. Dama niya ang maingat na paghawak ni Virgo sa kanyang balakang.

Then the top of her dress was torn open.

Virgo's shirt was already off.

Minutes later and she was almost jumping on his lap.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" hingal niya, ungol niya.

Virgo let out a hiss when she slammed against his lap.

Sagad.

Gumigiling, umiikot, umuurong-sulong. She could feel his hard cock scratch her walls, slide and flick and tightly swirl a bit when she move her hips round and round. Yumakap siya rito para ikiskis ang dibdib sa dibdib nito habang mabilis na tumataas-baba. Her hardened nipples, red with his sip, scratched against his hot skin. Her hand slid and massaged his shoulders. Dumulas ang mainit na kamay ng lalaki sa likuran niya paakyat sa batok. He gripped her there. His other hand clutched on her hip and forcibly encouraged her to ride him faster.

Her legs ached, her slit felt like ripping when he pushed her back down.

Bree let out a cry. Masakit. Masarap. Pumipintig ang puson niya na kinikiliti ng orgasm. Tears beaded at the corners of her eyes as she tried to catch her breath. Virgo planted a soft kiss on her neck and began throbbing against the muscles inside her privates.

Tapos, isang araw nagsuhestiyon ito na mag beer pong sila, pero habang hinahanda na ng lalaki ang mga baso, pumuslit na si Bree sa kwarto at tinulugan ito.

NAKATAPIS NG TUWALYA SI BREE. May hinahanap siyang dress nang matulak ang bag ni Virgo.

"God," nagmamadaling dampot niya sa lumuwang mga gamit mula sa bag. Naiwanan kasi iyon ng lalaki na bukas. She shoved in some clothes and picked up something that made her stop.

Napatitig siya sa pack ng condom.

Dapat ginagamit namin ito, itsa niya niyon sa kama para hindi na nila makalimutan pa.

Nadatnan ni Bree si Virgo sa controls ng yate. Kakabihis lang niya matapos maligo. Pinanood muna niya ang pagsipat doon ng lalaki bago siya lumapit.

"Hi," paos niyang bati nang mapalingon ito.

Maluwag ang naging ngiti ng binata. "Hi."

"So," pamewang niya, nakasuot ng puting Bohemian dress na hanggang kalahati ng hita niya ang palda, "ano'ng ginagawa mo diyan?"

"I'm just checking," sulyap nito ulit sa mga controls. "Gusto kasi kitang ilibot."

"Wow," masayang hawak niya sa mga balikat nito. "Talaga?"

"Yes," he looked at her over his shoulder.

"Saan naman?" silip niya sa pader na gawa sa salamin. "Puro dagat lang naman dito."

"Yes, but who knows? We might see an island... or a flock of birds," kibit-balikat ng binata na binubuhay na ang makina ng yate.

"Seryoso?" pamimilog ng mga mata ni Bree. "Aalis tayo rito?"

"You don't trust that I can use this yacht, hmm?" ngiti nito.

"Hindi naman sa ganoon."

Ilang minuto pa at pinaandar na ni Virgo ang yate. Nung una, nakahawak lang si Bree sa ibabaw ng backrest ng kinauupuan ni Virgo. Panay ang tanaw niya sa labas ng salaming pader na pumapalibot sa area na iyon ng kanilang sinasakyan. Banayad ang pagdulas ng sasakyan, gumuguhit sa tubig habang sumusulong. Nilingon siya ni Virgo at nginitian.

She playfully clapped at him. "You're good!"

Tumawa ito at inisahang kamay sa pagmamaniubra sa manibela niyon.

He stretched his arm and reached for her hip, pulling her closer to him.

"Bakit?" harap niya sa direksyon nito.

"On my lap," maluwag nitong ngiti at tila may pumitik sa kanyang dibdib.

"Mr. President..."

"Don't tell me you're being shy," matatawang balik nito ng tingin sa dinadaanan nila. "Aren't you the first one who jumped on my lap?"

"Tse," lapit na lang niya rito.

"Napakamaparaan mo talaga," tila pang-aakusa pa ng nakangiting lalaki.

Maingat na umupo siya sa kandungan nito. "No sex when you're driving. Gusto ko pa mabuhay."

"Of course," his eyes were on his driving, but as soon as he felt her close to him, Virgo leaned to plant a soft kiss on her temple.

Yumakap si Bree sa leeg nito para hindi masandalan ang braso ni Virgo na nasa kanyang likuran. Humagod ang malaya nitong kamay sa kanyang hita.

"Virgo," saway niya rito.

He gazed into her eyes and she could not help smiling. Happiness was a virus, spread it and everyone would gladly let themselves be infected with it. Those who don't get it were envy. And for now, his viral smile got Bree in fever, her lips stretching in a curve that copied his', her eyes probing into his dark ones.

Dumulas ang kamay ni Virgo sa bandang puwitan niya. Tinulak iyon ng lalaki para pumihit ang katawan niya paharap dito. Her legs stacked atop one another as she adjusted her head to lean over his shoulder.

Unti-unting bumagal ang pag-andar ng yate. Sa palagay niya, pinili ng lalaki na pahintuin na iyon. She felt his arm against her back, its hand holding her shoulder. Humagod ulit ang isa nitong kamay sa gilid ng kanyang hita. He hotly lowered his eyes. Umawang ang mga labi nito nang masilayan siyang nakatitig dito.

There was such a thing as explosive sex, but Bree was wondering how could an eye contact equate to how explosive sex could be. How one gaze into Virgo's soldering eyes, and she felt her clothes stripping off by itself... his flames licking her skin to heat up.

She stroked under his jaw, going up tenderly to the side of his face.

"Bakit hininto mo 'yung yate?" mahina niyang tanong dito. "Hindi ba ipapasyal mo pa ako?"

"I don't want to go anywhere far from here," he softly murmured, leaning close and holding up her chin to kiss.

Nakangiting lumayo siya.

For some reason, she felt something that scared her to accept his kiss.

A feeling so sad.

Maybe, it was really sad to be in love.

Her heart broke at the realization.

She bitterly smiled.

Stupid. Ano ba itong pumapasok sa isip mo?

Aalis na sana siya sa kandungan nito pero kinulong siya ng mga bisig nito.

"Where are you going?"

She tried to hide everything with a chuckle. "Hindi mo na rin lang naman ako ipapasyal, eh 'di pumunta na tayo sa deck!" masigla niyang wika rito. "Mangisda tayo? Sabi mo tuturuan mo ako, 'di ba?"

A faint smile was on his lips. She didn't know that he was having second thoughts about asking her why she didn't want to kiss. Lumuwag ang mga bisig nito kaya signal na iyon para kay Bree na umalis sa kandungan nito.

Remember, Bree, Virgo could be using you... for insider knowledge about media. Remember, Bree, kasama mo ngayon si Virgo dahil magtutulungan kayong makuha ang PH Channel. Remember, Bree, you are only a slut for Virgo...

Saka lang niya napagtanto na tinatakbo na niya pala ang daan papunta sa deck. Habol ang hininga na humawak siya sa hamba ng pinto. Huminto.

Try to remember... naalala niyang wika ni Virgo noong nagtatanong siya kung ano ang nangyari nung nag-black out siya dala ng sobrang kalasingan.

Kung bakit ang bait nito sa kanya. Kung bakit walang anu-anong umaalalay at tumutulong sa kanya.

Nasabi ko na...

Nasapo niya ang noo. Iyon ba ang pinag-usapan namin nung nalasing ako? Tungkol sa plano namin? Naglabas ba ako ng sama ng loob tungkol sa showbiz?

Sometimes, Bree was unaware how her smarts get the best of her. Too much of being smart gives her a lot of ideas- her blessing and curse.

Nasa amin lang... Na kay Virgo lang ang isip ko nitong nakaraang mga araw ngayon ko lang naaalala ang mga ito, nagsisisi niyang iling. Focus, Bree!

Nung pareho na silang nasa deck, pinanood niya ang paghahanda ni Virgo sa mga pamingwit na gagamitin nila.

"I am not really good with fishing," paliwanag ng lalaki, "so don't feel pressured na may mahuling isda, okay? For sure, wala rin akong mahuhuli." Binuntutan iyon ng mahina nitong pagtawa.

Nakakasilaw ang liwanag ng araw kaya nagsuot sila ng sunglasses at sumbrero. She wore a wide-brimmed straw hat with a black ribbon on it. Meanwhile, Virgo wore a black cap. Hapit sa katawan nito ang manipis na camiso chino na navy blue.

"Virgo?"

"Hmm?" ayos nito ng hook sa dulo ng tali ng pamingwit nito habang naka-Indian sit.

"Yung tungkol sa plano natin pala... kapag naging presidente ka na..."

Tiningala siya nito. "Yung sa TV Network."

Tipid ang ngiti na tumango-tango siya.

"I remember," tayo nito para ihawak sa kanya ang pamingwit. He gently spun her to face the railing of the yacht. Pinosisyon nito ang mga kamay niya kung paano ang tamang hawak sa fishing rod. "At tuloy pa rin iyon."

She felt him behind her, his arms caging her while making sure she would securely hold the rod. Ang isa naman ay nasa hawakan ng pang-ikot ng tali.

"Iniisip ko lang kasi, baka masilip ka roon."

"You used to be confident when I proposed that plan to you."

Unti-unti nang bumababa ang tali.

Kumakaway ang makulay na laruang pain.

"Madali kasing isipin iyon, Virgo. Pero kapag naroon na tayo sa sitwasyon, alam ko na hindi-hindi lang basta iyong plano natin na pabagsakin ang media... by manipulating it. Don't you think?"

"I think..." he sexily murmured behind her ear, his hand teasingly sliding down her forearm, "you are overthinking, Bree..."

"We have to be careful," mahina niyang usal, nasa pamingwit ang mga mata.

The colorful bait kissed the surface of the water. It slowly soaked the water, letting it pull it beneath.

"Are you worried that I might be unable to do it?" silip nito sa kanyang mukha. "We will get that channel, Bree. You'll own it if you like. I will have all the power to make it happen."

"Kapag nakuha mo na ang gusto mo? Hindi mo ba ako ilalaglag?"

He smiled. "Why would I do that? You're not a candy wrap that after I ate, gugusutin ko at itatapon sa basurahan."

It sounded familiar. May kabang sumikdo sa kanyang dibdib.

Virgo's hand smoothly felt her waist, pulled her to press her butt against his crotch. Then one gentle push and her hips were pinned by him against the railing.

.

.

NAKITA NI VIRGO ANG KAKAIBANG REAKSYON sa mukha ni Bree. He was hoping saying something that she said would help her remember that night. Gumusot ang mukha nito. Natahimik. At nang maipit ang dalaga sa railing ng yate, nagbaba ito ng tingin.

It would be easy for Virgo to tell Bree everything that she said that night.

What he confessed to her last night.

But for him, it would feel very violating.

It would feel like forcing a person to take responsibility for the things they said when they were intoxicated... drunk... out of their element... not in the condition to think straight. It was like daylight black mailing. Ayaw niyang palabasin na ganoon ang nangyari. Ayaw niya nung scenario na Uy, sabi mo kagabi, mahal mo ako. Kahit lasing ka at wala sa wisyo, dapat mong panindigan iyon. Dapat tayo na dahil nag-I love you ka sa akin nung lasing na lasing ka at walang kontrol sa mga ginagawa at sinasabi mo.

That just seemed so... improper.

Nakakawala ng respeto para sa kanya.

Virgo would appreciate it if Bree, at her sane condition where she can mean what she says, would tell him that she really loves him.

He could initiate, but not now that they were on vacation.

Hindi niya kasi hawak ang magiging resulta kapag umamin na naman siya rito.

If she said no, they might cut that one-month vacation and go home to avoid the awkwardness.

And Virgo didn't want that.

He wanted his plans to go the way he planned it. Sisikapin niya na masulit ang bakasyon na ito na solong-solo niya si Bree. Na walang gagambala sa mga gusto nilang gawin.

Wala itong sinagot kaya pinalagpas na lang niya.

"Oh, nasa bakasyon tayo. We should be enjoying, Miss Bree," alalay niya sa braso nito para manatili sa posisyon. "Pakiramdaman mong mabuti ang tali, baka may isda nang humihila."

He slowly inched away from her.

"Is that all I need to do?"

"Yes," makahulugan niyang titig sa dalaga. "Kapag may hinuhuli kang isda, dapat malakas ang pakiramdam mo. Sayang ang pain kung matatangay ng isda."

Ngumiti ito at binalik ang tingin sa pamingwit. "Ngalayan pala ito."

"Yes," he smiled as he sat back on the deck. Ihahanda na ni Virgo ang sariling pamingwit. "Minsan talaga, kailangan mong magtiyaga at maghintay. May mga pagkakataon na akala mo, nahuli mo na 'yung isda, tapos pag-angat mo ng tali, makakatalon pa at makakatakas."

"Sayang naman."

"Hindi rin. You always have another chance to catch that fish," tusok niya ng pain sa hook ng kanyang pamingwit.

"Virgo?" lingon ni Bree sa kanya.

Nag-angat siya ng tingin dito. "Are you still enjoying?"

"This vacation?" kunot-noo niya. "Of course." Kinabahan siya, pero nilihim iyon. "Eh, ikaw?"

Ngumiti ito. "So much... Nakakalimot na nga ako eh," nahihiyang baba ng tingin ni Bree.

"Nae-enjoy ko lahat. Ngayon lang ulit ako nag-enjoy," he smiled like a shy school boy.

"Let me guess why," her smile was now teasing. "Masyado ko kasing good boy nung bata ka at kabinataan mo."

Natawa siya. "How did you know?"

Bree playfully popped up her butt and gave it a teasing stroke. "Ang kinis ng puwet mo eh. Walang latay. The only way for kids to really have fun is to... you know, getting spanked for it after they do it."

"You little tease," he smirked. Alam niyang may matino na nais ipahiwatig si Bree. Na napapalo ang mga bata kasi ginagabi sa paglalaro sa sobrang page-enjoy. Pero ewan at marumi na mga ideya ang nag-uunahan sa kanyang isip. Dama niya ang pagkalat ng pag-iinit sa katawan habang pinagmamasdan sa sexy nitong pagkaka-pose si Bree. Nakalimutan na nga rin yata nito na ayusin ang pagkakahawak sa pamingwit nito.

Maluwag na nginitian siya nito- maganda sa suot nitong dress at tila nag-iimbita ang sumasayawna mga hibla ng buhok nito na kolektahin niya para hilain ang ulo ng dalaga patingala habang binabayo niya ito mula sa likuran. Umayos na si Bree ng pagkakatayo at binalik ang atensyon sa pamimingwit.

Now, isn't she adorable?
