Capitulo Treinta y siete

Tahimik na nakamasid lamang ang babaeng katabi ni Maxwell sa kaniyang sasakyan sa labas ng bintanang katabi nito. Kanina pa niya ito pinakikiramdaman, he was watching her through the corner of his eyes.

She was not moving and not even making a sound. Kung hindi niya nakikita ang mga pagkurap ng mata nito ay iisipin niyang nakatulog na ito. Katatapos lamang ng meeting nito sa President ng Veritz Inc. at hindi naging maganda ang kinalabasan noon.

That bald bastard was flirting with his wife and he deserved those punches. Marami pa namang kumpanyang pwedeng kausapin ang dalaga, hindi kawalan ang gagong yun.

Well kung tutuusin binigyan niya ng pabor ang babae, muka namang walang alam ang bastardong yun, siya na lang ang maghahanap ng client para dito, sigurado siyang maraming kilala ang kaniyang ama. He stop over for a moment when the street light change to red.

Muli niyang nilingon ang tahimik na katabi, he saw the soft movement of her shoulders and was again fascinated when the light from the street lamp illuminated the side of her face, parang may malakas na namang pwersang humihila sa kaniya na haplusin ang malambot at makinis nitong pisngi.

Dumiin ang kaniyang kapit sa manubela ng sasakyan at marahas na ipinaling ang ulo sa harap. He can feel the tension in his body going up again and his temperature rising. Humugot siya ng malalim na hininga at marahas iyong binuga. He need to smoke and drink to calm his raging nerves. Ng muling magpalit ng kulay ang traffic light ay mabilis niyang pinaharurot ang sasakyan.

Walang imik na bumaba ng sasakyan ang asawa at hindi man lang siya tinapunan ng tingin ng marating nila ang tapat ng bahay nito. Bumaba din siya ng kaniyang kotse at ibinagsak pasara ang pinto.

Hinablot niya ang braso nito, parang may mumunting kuryenteng dumaloy sa kaniyang ugat ng lumapat ang kamay sa balat nito. Naramdaman niya ang pag-igtad nito at ang paghila ng braso nito sa kaniyang hawak, subalit hindi niya ito hinayaan.

"Get a few things you need, sa bahay ka matutulog." he ordered.

"Excuse me?" kunot-noong tanong nito. He did not speak and let her read the seriousness in his eyes. "Have you gone mad?" hindi makapaniwalang turan nito. "Stop pestering me Mr. Sarmiento, go home and don't ever show yourself in front of my face again." mariing asik pa nito.

"I'll give you ten minutes Lyra." he demanded.

Biglang tumigas at tumalim ang mga mata nitong nakatitig sa kaniya. "Sinabi ko na sa iyong huwag mo akong tawagin sa pangalang yan." he can hear the controlled anger in her voice.

"Then start calling me Pierce." he hissed. Bumuntong hininga ito, nakikita niya ang kapaguran sa mga mata nito na para bang wala na itong ganang makipag-usap pa sa kaniya. Nakaramdam siya ng inis. "I'm waiting, get your things now or I'll get it instead." he warned.

"Huwag mong ubusin ang pasensiya ko, umuwi ka na pakiusap."

"And if I don't? what are you going to do Lyra, kick me in the ass?" he mocked.

"I can do worse than that, don't provoke me." muli nitong hinila ang braso sa kaniya at nagtagumpay naman ito pagkatapos ay muli siyang tinalikuran.

"Not so fast sweetheart..." muli niya itong hinila pabalik at agad na sinakop ng kaniyang labi ang mapupula nitong labi ng muli itong humarap. Agad niyang pinulupot ang kanyang braso sa maliit nitong beywang at sinakop ng isa niyang palad ang likod ng ulo nito upang mas lalong maidiin ang kaniyang labi.

Maxwell did not know what comes to his mind, he was not planning to kiss her but the coldness and the hard glint in her eyes made him furious, he has been trying to unmasked her since day one but he was just getting frustrated every f**king time. Hindi niya mapasok at matibag ang makapal na pader na iniharang nito para sa sarili.

Sandali niyang inilayo ang labi upang kumuha ng hangin at muli niya itong hinalikan, he heard himself groaned when her lips moves and mimicked the movement of his lips and he groaned again like a wounded animal when she gasped. His tongue slid inside her slightly open mouth, he was so eager to taste the sweetness of her mouth like he can't get enough. He felt the full weight of her soft body when she lean on him that makes him tremble in excitement.

Wala na siya sa kaniyang sarili, the only thing that he can think of right now is to take her completely, he was so absorbed by the intense wanting that it suffocates him already. He was like a vampire hungry for blood, like a thirsty animal in the middle of the desert, like a dying man gasping for breath. It was stupid. But he was desperate.

He removed his hands on her waist and slowly raise it up to the side of her round breast, bumaba ang kaniyang halik sa panga nito hanggang sa makinis nitong leeg, he bit it gently and gave out another guttural groan when she gasped.

"L-lucas..." parang binuhusan siya ng malamig na tubig sa pangalang narinig sa bibig ng kasuyo. Marahas niya itong binitiwan at umatras ng isang hakbang palayo dito. Tulalang napatitig ang mapungay pa ring mga mata nito sa kaniya at parang naguguluhan sa bigla niyang paghinto. Nakaawang ang mapupula at mamasa-masa nitong labi. He wants to beat himself when he felt himself wanting to grab and kiss those sinful lips again.

"Sino si Lucas." ramdam niya ang galit sa kaniyang tinig. Mabilis ang kaniyang paghinga, ang kaninang init na naramdaman niya ay napalitan ng nagyeyelong lamig. How dare her think another man, it was a f**king hard blow on his enormous ego.

"Lucas..." ulit nito, kumislap ang mga mata nito at bahagyang nanginig ang ibabang labi. He felt a strange ache in his chest, the way she said that name sounds very familiar to him. To his ears. To his heart. But he ignored it. He was mad.

"Who is he!" tila natauhan ito sa pagtaas ng kaniyang boses at pinukol siya ng masamang tingin.

"Why did you kiss me?" sa halip na sagutin siya ay singhal nito.

"Don't act up on me now sweetheart you like the kiss so suck it up. Now tell me who is that bastard?" he growled.

Naningkit ang mata nito. "And why---"

"Just f**king tell me who the f**k he-------"

"A golden retriever! My dog! happy?" bulalas nito, her hands flail in the air.

"What!" hindi makapaniwalang singhal niya, a dog?. Naalala niya ang alaga nitong aso. He suddenly wanted to laugh and hit something sa sobrang asar. Sinuklay niya ng daliri ang buhok at isinuksok and dalawang kamao sa bulsa ng suot niyang maong ng mahimasmasan."Get your things now Lyra, I'll just wait here." with a controlled voice he said.

"You don't have the------" singhal nito.

"Get your things now Lyra, I'm not going to repeat myself again." he warned.

"The hell I will, who do you think you are?" galit na singhal nito. She was glaring daggers at him.

"I'm your husband darling, and you will be living with me starting tonight, you will sleep on my bed, and we will wake up together, you will see my face more often like every f**king day and you can't say no to that, this is how you will pay me sweetheart."
