ANG UNANG reaksiyon ni Ruby sa sinabi ng lalaki ay ang sampalin ito. But she also quickly realized how hypocritic that would be. Why would she be offended when she had been throwing herself at him every chance she gets? Her hand was also stilled by the image that flashed in her mind. Of her sitting on the man's lap, riding him to glory. Dahil iyon ang proposition nito sa kanya.
I want you to be my fuck buddy, he said. I need one and since I don't want to leave the island, you'll have to stay here for as long as I need you.
She also had to admit, she is not averse to having sex with him. Unang kita pa nga lang niya kay Aegen ay ito agad ang naisip niya. He's hot and sexy. She could also clearly recall how her pussy creamed when she saw him walking down the wooden planks on the pier.
"At bakit naman ako papayag diyan, aber?" pagtataray niya kunwari. "Ano ang kapalit? Babayaran mo 'ko? Limpak-limpak na salapi ba ang isasampal mo sa mukha ko at..."
"Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang ipinamana sa 'kin ng lola mo," sabad nito.
"What?"
"She included me in her will and left me quite a lot. I feel it's unfair that she left me something while leaving you nothing," patuloy nito. "I tried telling her so but she refused to listen."
Unfair talaga! Sa loob-loob ni Ruby. Pinamanahan ang lalaki pero siya, kahit singkong duling ay wala itong iniwan. Siya ang kadugo pero si Aegen ang mas pinahalagahan.
"I bet you did," sarkastiko niyang hirit.
"I did!" giit ni Aegen. He looked offended. "By law, may mapupunta dapat sa mommy mo, kundi man sa 'yo. But she had her lawyer do something to make it appear that your mother doesn't deserve to get a single centavo. That she had been disowned because of legitimate reasons. Puwede mong i-contest iyong will sa korte pero napakahaba at napakagastos ng proseso. Besides, why go to all that trouble when I can give you my share without any fuss?"
"But for that to happen I would need to be your fuck buddy," hayag niya.
"Is that so bad?" ganti nito. "I can give you as much pleasure as you gave me. Even more, actually. And this won't be forever. She left me quite a lot, I assure you. Isa na ang islang ito."
"Sa kanya itong isla?" Hindi na siguro dapat nagulat si Ruby. Rich people can buy anything, after all. At ilang mayayamang tao na ba ang nababalitaan niyang may private islands?
"And you can own it, too. Later. If..."
"I agree to be your fuck buddy." Mabilis na siyang sumagot. Gusto niyang isipin na dahil iyon sa mana. Well, maybe it's partly that. Pero ang tutoo ay ginawa na lang niyang dahilan iyon sa sarili. Without anything in exchange, she would love to have sex with this hot hunk of a guy.
"Then it's settled. Dito ka muna sa isla," sabi ni Aegen.
"Gaano katagal?"
"For as long as I want."
"Whoa! Malabo iyon ah," protesta niya. "Baka tumanda na 'ko rito."
"Not gonna happen," agad na saad ng lalaki. "Hindi ganoon katagal ang interes ko sa isang babae. Based on experience, I think three months tops would be a more accurate time table."
Mawawala siya sa sirkulasyon ng three months. Well, kapag ibinigay ni Aegen ang mana sa kanya, kahit hindi na siya magtrabaho ay puwede. This is also her chance to get out of her chosen profession. Makakapag-lie low pa siya, mapapalamig ang sitwasyon at hopefully ay tigilan na ang paghahanap sa kanya. It's a win-win situation for her.
"Deal!" Inihalad niya ang kamay sa lalaki.
Inabot iyon ni Aegen at mahigpit na hinawakan habang nakatitig sa mga mata niya.
Oh, shit! Napabulalas sa sarili si Ruby. Kamay lang naman niya ang hawak ng lalaki pero kung mag-init ang katawan niya ay para bang hinipuan na siya nito sa pinaka-private part niya. Lalo na tuloy siyang nasabik na matikman ang pagkalalaki nito.
"Shall we seal the deal with a..." Tumingin siya sa bahagi ng katawan nito na nasa ilalim na umiikot-ikot na tubig.
"Not yet," anito. "For now, lets just relax." Sumandal na si Aegen sa gilid ng tub saka ipinikit ang mga mata.
