It was already five in the afternoon when they reached the apartment. Halos paliparin ni Kane ang kotse pabalik sa apartment at habang nasa sasakyan sila ay walang mga salitang namutawi sa kanilang mga bibig. Nanatili silang tahimik, pero pareho nilang alam kung ano ang parehong nararamdaman.

During that time, Dreya just silently stared outside the window car whilst Kane focused on driving. They were both aware of the fire that's surrounding them but no one ever dared to talk about it. They will just let their body decide for later.

And when they reached the apartment and Kane closed the door, they knew it was gonna be fire.

Pagkasara nang pagkasara ng pinto ay kaagad na hinila ni Kane si Dreya. She wasn't even surprised— she anticipated it to happen. And when they kissed, she knew there was no turning back.

Kung papaano silang nakarating sa silid sa itaas ay hindi na rin maalala ni Dreya. Lalo na kung papaanong inihiga siya sa kama ni Kane nang wala nang saplot. She was probably too engrossed in the moment that she didn't know what's happening. She was focusing on Kane's lips and the heat she was feeling inside. She was too aroused that nothing else matters anymore.

Mula sa siwang ng nakabukas na blinds ng kwarto ay tinamaan ng papalubog na sikat ng araw ang hubad nilang mga katawan. Their sweat were sparkling like diamonds as they continued to kiss and touch in bed. Kane was on top of her and she couldn't help but shiver from the steel-hard object poking down below.

Alam niyang hindi nila dapat ginagawa ang isang bagay na maaari lang gawin ng mga mag-asawa. Pero naisip niyang ikakasal na rin naman sila— it didn't really matter. And besides, she just couldn't let the day go without feeling him... satisfying her fantasies.

Mahigpit siyang napahawak sa magkabilang balikat ni Kane nang maramdaman ang inisyal na pag-angkin nito. He was kissing her sensually while his hands were all over her body but she couldn't just ignore the slicing pain below.

"I'm sorry if I'm hurting you," he said when he released her lips and looked at her eyes.

She forced a smile and touched his face, "H'wag kang mag-alala, ayos lang ako. Natural lang na masaktan ako sa umpisa, pero alam kong ngayon lang ito."

Tumango ito at muli siyang dinampian ng halik sa mga labi. "I will do my best to lessen the pain."

Pilit siyang natawa sa sinabi nito saka niyuko ang kinaroroonan ng mga nag-uugpong nilang katawan. She gasped when he saw what was happening there.

He was barely inside! But the pain his size was causing her was too intense she felt like losing consciousness any moment!

Ginusto ko 'to eh... Napalunok siya bago inalis ang tingin sa bahaging iyon ng mga katawan nila at saka dahan-dahang pinaglakbay ang tingin pataas sa katawan ni Kane.

And she was mezmerized. She didn't have a chance to stare at his body when they took off their clothes. But now that she could fully see him, she was left speechless.

Kane has a toned, mascular body fit to a soccer player. Oh, she knew he was sexy but behind his school uniform and poloshirts, she didn't expect to see that kind of body from him. He must have been working out a lot. Hindi lang pala ang utak nito ang sexy...

"You like it?" anito na may ngiti sa mga labi. He stilled his movement to let her adjust to his size.

Nahihiyang sinalubong niya ang mga mata nito. "You are sexy..." usal niya.

Lalong lumapad ang mga ngiti nito. "And so do you. You have perfect curves and I love everything about you and your body. I can't wait to taste more of you."

Sa sinabi ni Kane ay lalo siyang nanginig. Sandaling nawala sa isip ang humihiwang sakit sa ibabang bahagi ng katawan at napunta sa pagpapantasya sa maraming bagay na gagawin pa nila ni Kane sa araw—gabi na iyon.

"Now, I need you to hold me tight. We will travel across paradise."

Napayakap siya sa leeg ni Kane at ipinikit ang mga mata. His lips went down to hers again and started kissing her torridly before he started moving his body.

She moaned when she felt the excruciating pain as he thrust little by little. He was gentle but it was her first and he was big so the pain was expected. Kane held her bottom to assist her own movement. Inalalayan siya nito upang maging madali sa kanilang pareho ang inistyal na pang-aangking iyon.

He didn't stop until he completely filled her with his flesh. He was deep inside her when he released her lips and kissed her forehead, her temple and her chin. "You okay?" he asked. Idinikit nito ang noo sa kaniyang noo.

"Sa ngayon," aniya sa pabirong tinig. Nais niyang alisin sa isip ang humihiwang sakit sa ibabang bahagi ng katawan. "But you can ask me again later— when we're done."

Ngumiti ito saka muli siyang dinampian ng halik sa mga labi. Ilang sandali pa'y nag-umpisa na itong kumilos na ikina-hugot niya ng matalim na paghinga.

"Look at me, Drey."

She did. Sinalubong niya ang mga mata nitong diretso ring nakatitig sa kaniya.

He continued to slowly pull out his length from her tightness as they stared at each other with fire in their eyes. And when he sanked in not-so-gently this time, she gasped aloud. Not to the pain alone but to the ecstacy it gave her. Naramdaman niya ang pag-angat ng mga kamay nito sa mga binti niya, spreading them more so he could go deeper. Ilang sandali pa'y napunta naman ang isang kamay nito sa pagitan ng nag-uugpong nilang mga katawan, touching her sensully to arouse her more.

"Oh, Kane..." napa-ungol siya ng malakas nang damhin siya nito roon, touching her wetness and playing with her most sensitive part. And when she contracted, he growled.

"I can't go slow anymore, Drey... Please bear with me, I want you so bad now," sabi ni Kane bago nito hinawakan ang bewang niya at hinila siya pasalubong sa pang-aangkin nito.

She gasped and moaned when he started to thrust deeper and faster— she was still feeling the pain but it was slowly fading out. Kane drove like he was a starved animal, doon niya napagtanto kung gaano rin ka-laki ang pagnanasa nito sa kaniya. He was pulling out and thrusting in with passion and intense desire, while his hands were holding her body to assist her meet his invasion. Muling bumaba ang mga labi nito sa kaniya upang sandali siyang halikan. Itinaas nito ang isang kamay sa kaniyang dibdib upang mariing damhin iyon kasunod ng pagbaba ng mga labi nito doon. He sucked her breast like a hungry baby— showing her who the real Kane Madrigal is in bed.

You must have done this many times before.... bulong niya sa isip. You know exactly what you are doing...

Nahinto lang siya sa pag-iisip ng kung anu-ano nang binilisan ni Kane ang pagkilos. He was fast and deep and she was feeling the pleasure-pain it was causing her. But she met his thrusts, his every moves, with all her might. Gusto niyang iparamdam dito na nasisiyahan rin siya sa kabila ng sakit. So she arched her body to him, helping him go deeper.

And when Kane reached his climax and released his seeds inside her, he held her tight and cried her name in surrender.

*****

Umungol si Dreya nang may ingay na marinig sa paligid. She was too exhausted to even open her eyes but the noise was persistently bugging her.

Umungol siyang muli at pilit na nagmulat.

Madilim na paligid ang unang niyang namulatan. At habang nakamulat siya at sinasanay sa dilim ang mga mata ay inisip niya kung ano ang nag-iingay na bagay na iyon.

A phone. Yes, it was a phone ring.

Bumangon siya upang hanapin kung nasaan ang nag-iingay na teleponong iyon nang matigilan. Kane's arm was on her breast and it was stopping her from getting up. Napalingon siya rito at pilit na inaninag ng tingin ang mukha nito. He was breathing peacefully— ibig sabihin ay mahimbing na ang tulog nito. Yumuko siya at binigyan ito ng halik sa noo bago dahan-dahang tinanggal ang kamay nitong nakadagan sa dibdib niya.

But Kane just only pulled her even more. Hinapit pa siya nito at tinandayan upang lalo siyang hindi makawala.

Napangiwi siya at muling inikot ang tingin. Cellphone ni Kane ang nag-iingay na iyon at nais niya muna iyong patayin para makatulog siya. Kaya muli niyang dahan-dahang tinanggal ang kamay nito sa dibdib niya kasunod ang maskulado nitong hita na dumadagan sa hita niya.

"Stop that..."

Napasinghap siya nang marinig na nagsalita ito.

"I want to hold you, so don't do that," dugtong pa nito sa inaantok na tinig.

"But your phone is ringing..."

He groaned and removed his arm and leg on her. Bumangon ito at hinanap ang nag-iingay na cellphone. He found it inside his pants that landed on the floor. Mabilis nito iyong kinuha saka sinagot.

Dreya listened to Kane as he spoke to the caller while standing in the middle of the dark room. Oh, sana malinaw niyang nakikita ang kabuuan nito habang nakatayo.

How many times did you make love to me the whole afternoon and night, Kane? bulong niya sa isip habang patuloy na nakapako ang tingin niya rito. She could barely see him, but her eyes were starting to get used to the dark. Sigurado siyang maya-maya lang ay malinaw na niya itong makikita.

Kane made love to her several times she had lost count. After their first, he only rested for a few minutes before he started to touch and kiss her again. He was insatiable and she loved it. Sa pangalawang beses na pang-aangkin nito ay dinala siya nito sa lugar na puro bulaklak at ulap lang ang nakikita niya. He brought her to heaven and paradise several times. Ang maisip lang iyon ay muling nagdadala ng init sa buo niyang katawan.

Hindi na rin niya maalala kung anong oras sila natapos at nakaramdam ng pagod. She just fallen asleep after experiencing heaven again and she remembered how Kane just rested his body on her, as if he has no remaining strength anymore.

And now that she's fired up again and they're both awake, may palagay siyang hindi mauuwi sa tulog ang mangyayari sa kanila kapag tapos na itong makipag-usap sa cellphone nito.

Nilingon niya ang alarm clock sa ibabaw ng nighstand at nakitang ala-una na ng madaling araw. She frowned. Sino ang tatawag kay Kane sa ganitong oras...?

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye."

Napa-piksi siya nang marinig na sinabi iyon ni Kane sa kausap bago pinatay ang cellphone at inihagis sa ibabaw ng side table. He then went back to the bed and pulled her to him. Her head landed on his arm.

"I'm sorry if it woke you up. Nakalimutan kong patayin kanina..." anito saka siya dinampian ng halik sa noo.

"Sino ang kausap mo?" maingat niyang tanong.

Matagal bago sumagot si Kane. "It's my mom. She was just asking where I went and when I will be coming home."

Hindi na siya muling nagsalita nang maramdaman ang kamay nitong dahan-dahang gumapang sa kaniya balat na nag-iiwan ng init. It went down to the apex of her thigh and touched her wetness. "Oh, Drey... You are so ready for me again."

She gulped. Magkakaila pa ba siya eh ipinagkanulo na siya ng sarili niyang katawan?

"I need you again," he said hoarsely. Idinikit nito ang ibabang bahagi ng katawan sa kanya upang ipaalam kung ano ang nararamdaman nito. "I don't think I'll stop needing you. I will keep needing you for an eternity." He then went on top of her and kissed her hungrily even before she could get a chance to say a word.

She spreaded her legs in surrender. I need you more than you ever know, Kane. Not just my body... but my heart and soul, too.

And when Kane went inside her again in a swift manner, she was not able to hold her cries and moans.

Kane completes her. And she completes him. Mawala marahil ang isa sa kanila ay habambuhay silang magkakaroon ng kakulangan sa kanilang pagkatao. And that scared her.

Paano nga kapag ang isa sa kanila ay mawala?

Will they take it?
