Craving

FRUSTRATED, Jessica dashed on the upper deck. But before she could close the door, Paulite followed her with big steps.

"J?" Hinawakan siya nito sa braso ngunit pumiksi siya. "I'm sorry, J. Please look at me."

Tears well up on her eyes as she remembered how terrified she was earlier. That in the middle of the deep ocean, where she is helpless. All she could do was to scream his name as if it will save him. She almost lost him. It was just a blinked on an eye, she would lose him without telling him her real feelings.

Lumapit ito at tinulungan siyang alisin ang luha sa kanyang pisngi.

Marahas niyang tinapik ang mga kamay nito. "Look at you? For what? So you can laugh at me? Hindi nakakatawa 'yung ginawa mo." Nabasag ang kanyang boses. Sinuntok niya ito sa dibdib. "Takot na takot ako. Akala ko kung ano ng nangyari sa'yo. Hindi ko kailangan ng tuna. Ang kailangan ko ay ikaw. Ikaw lang."

He didn't dodge. He let her hurt him. "I am sorry." Masuyong hinuli nito ang parehas niyang braso at tinitigan siya sa mga mata. "Hindi na mauulit."

His voice they were like a feather that tickled her heart. Slowly, it melted her shallow fear. She wasn't mad at him, she was actually mad at herself because of her reaction. He is safe that's the fact and she should be thankful for that.

His palm covered her face. They were rough but warm against her skin. "Natakot ka bang akala mo mawawala ako sa'yo?"

She didn't say anything. She just nodded slowly.

"Ibig sabihin ay ayaw mong mawala ako?"

Mukha siyang batang paslit sa muling pagtango. Nagtaka sa nakitang multo ng ngisi sa mukha nito, kahit pa seryoso.

"J, hindi 'yon mangyayari. Hindi rin ako papayag na mawala ka sa akin."

For a fleeting moment, his frame shaded by the sunset. Time is really quick, but he is all good and perfect from the nice view. Plus his comforting words that sounded lullaby. Just like the cold breeze of the afternoon wind that softly lingered on her skin. Her hand immediately curled around his nape and grabbed it to plant a kiss on his lips.

They both froze. She pulled away but his one hand stop her then he claimed her lips.

What she just said are all came from her heart. She wanted him in any aspect. With his bad or good shades, she accepted it. She doesn't care if he is a womanizer before, he changed right? He is all into her. His pair eyes only looked at her. He loved her. And she was the same.

They both smiled and just leaned both on their forehead while staring at each other.

"You are mine, J," he murmured, then he planted feather kisses on the side of her lips. "Can I bring to you to my bed?"

She can't get enough of his touch and kisses. Hinigpitan niya ang kapit sa batok nito, halos tumingkayad na. "Why not let's go to the bathroom. Bath me with your love, Lite."

His eyes reflected the need that she felt too. "Your idea is better."

She was very ashamed of Martin. After the bath-making love inside the shower room, they saw him placing the cooked tuna on the table. She doesn't know if he heard her loud moans from the beginning, regardless, it's shameful. She was red as tomato 'til they reach the shore.

"Ilalagay ko nalang sa fridge niyo ang iba. Dadalhin ko naman ang iba kay mommy. Bye, love birds!" said Martin.

She watched Paulite waved his hands. Hindi niya alam kung bakit parang normal lang iyon dito samantalang siya ay halos hindi na magpakita kay Martin sa sobrang hiya.

Paulite turned around. "What are you doing there, J?"

"Hindi na siguro ako sasama sa'yo kapag pupunta kila Gretta."

Tumaas ang kilay nito. "Why?"

"Nahihiya ako kay Martin. He may be heard us... you know my— gosh!"

Wala itong sinabi. Hinila lamang siya upang paupuin sa binti nito.

"Next time make your yacht soundproof," she told him.

"I forgot that he was there. Next time I will kick him in the ocean, don't worry."

She shook her head. "You are ridiculous."

He kissed her nape, before he whispered, "You think so? Hmm. Forget about him. I want to ask you about our make love in the bathroom. Do you like it? I can do more than that."

Pinalo niya ang braso nito. "Baka nakakalimutan mong may kasalanan ka pa sa akin." Umalis siya roon bago pa man makita nito kung gaano siya kapula. Lumapit siya sa fridge. Hindi niya iyon nabuksan ng pigilan ni Paulite. Ang braso nito ay kapantay ng mata niya. Mula sa likuran naman ay naramdaman niya dibdib nito.

"Am I not yet forgiven?" he huskily whispered in her ears. His minty breath fanned her nape.

Oh my god! Nahigit niya ang kanyang hininga habang nakapikit. Nagtindigan ang balahibo niya sa batok. Tila lalagnatin nang maramdaman sa loob ng kanyang t-shirt ang kamay nitong humahaplos sa kanyang puson at balakang.

"I warn you. My kitchen is not soundproof, but I like you screaming my name and remember... I don't have a neighbor—" He rain kisses on her nape while his both hands replace the pad that lifted her breast.

Napakapit siya sa batok nito. Nanghihina ang kanyang mga tuhod. At ang kanyang mga mata ay namumungay sa banayad at mainit nitong atake sa kanyang sistema.

He lifted her both hands and tossed up her t-shirt. The same with her brassiere that easily fell down on her feet.

"Lite—"

He twirled her like a Jazz dancer and brought near on the basin before he closed her lips. One of his hand leisure everywhere on her body while the other one slid freely inside her panty. "You are craving for tuna. I am craving for you, J."
