Chapter 15 - Cinderella's Sweet Surrender

"If you want me, then take me now."

Steffanie's voice was echoing in Gareth's head. Fuck! What the hell is happening to her? This was not right. She was emotional unstable because of that hideous thing that had happened to her. He cannot simply take advantage of that fact just to feed his raging libido towards her.

He held her by the shoulders, hoping to at least knock some senses to her. She was very fragile right now. Her emotional and mental well being was a train wreck. He looked her in the eyes.

"C'mon Steff. This is not you."

What he saw in her eyes froze him. He saw hurt. He saw rejection. But despite all of that, she gave him a wry smile, a smile that he did not want to see. A smile that emanates her every hurt, a smile that somehow acknowledged her own inferiority.

"I know that you'll say that. No one as vile and dirty as me would be good enough for you."

He could hear the imaginary sound of her shattering heart. What the hell was she saying? Was she insinuating that—

Nagbaba ito ng tingin. May isang butil ng luha ang sumungaw sa mga mata nito. What the fuck! Of all the rotten tricks! Tears! Are you fucking kidding me?

All his life, women just come and go on his bed. He knew very well how they operate. Tears were their secret weapon. Marami na siyang nakitang ganyan. They would try to soften his resolve by using tears, by trying to touch his sensitive. But nobody was successful – until now. Probably because he knew that it was sincere, that Steff was hurting in the inside. And he cannot bear that thought.

She then tried to retreat but he reached for her. Hinigit niya ito patungo sa kanya. He made her feel how he wanted her. He wanted her to see what her body was doing to his.

He tightly hugged her but it was a wrong move. Her scent immediately invaded every corner of his nostrils. It ignited his already raging body with embers of passion and sensuality. He felt very potent. He was so fucking hard, his pants now felt very tight. He wanted to ram inside her, to feel her feminine folds enclose his engorged sex. But he tamed himself, again reminding him that it was not the right thing to do.

"Fell that, sweetheart?" he pressed his erection on her belly. Nakita niyang ang panlalaki ng mga mata nito.

"That's how I always am every time you are near me. This is how fucking hard I am every time that I smell your scent. This is how much I want you."

She saw her smile. This time in a triumphant way, as if she had suddenly found a new profound courage.

He was glad at what he saw. Finally, she seemed to have regained her reason.

But he was wrong. Terribly wrong.

Kumalas ito mula sa pagkakayakap sa kanya. She looked at him with so much passion in her eyes. She gave a look that he never knew she could even muster. He knew that looked very well. He had been with a lot of women for him not to. She was giving him a seductive look. With lips twisted in a soft smile, with eyes opened in the most sensual way, she was indeed the goddess of sensuality personified.

The waning bells started to alert him once more. But he remained still, mesmerized by the divine beauty that beckoned in front of him.

Lumapit ito sa kanya. The silence of the surroundings made him more tensed. He watched as she touched his face with her flimsy little hand.

"Pretend that I am a sculptor and you are my best creation. Just be still and watch how an artist appreciates her art work."

Napalunok siya sa narinig. Fuck! He was a sucker for role playing.

Gumapang ang kamay nito sa kanyang dibdib. Her gentle touch left a train of burning sensations. Napapikit na lamang siya.

She started to unbuckle her belt, it was an easy thing to do for her. She then proceeded in undoing his fly. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! The slightest touch of her finger over his arousal felt so fucking good!

She started to kneel down in front of him. It took her a few more moments before she could successfully pull down his pants. He looked at her amazed expression as she looked at his enormous bulge.

"Baby, you don't—"

But before he could finish her statement, she already had freed his dick from its tight confinement.

She started touching it, completely accommodating its length with her two hands. Her hands started to stroke him. Oh! Shit—He felt comming already. Her hands felt so good.

His mind was trapped inside this ravine of passion. This was wrong! He kept reminding himself. It was taking advantage of her fragile state. He knew all of that. But still, his body was fucking aching with need! He had been celibate long enough. Ever since meeting Steff, he had never been with a woman. He was actually amazed at himself. He had been living a monk for quite a while. But still... even the most celebrated monk would embrace this decadence when fate put him in this very sweet temptation. And for the love of all that was good, he was not even a fucking monk in the first place!

His conscience sounded all the warning bells. This was wrong. This was fucking wrong! A part of him still acknowledged that, but the rest of his body ignored all of it. It remained deaf. All that mattered right now was making Steffanie his. He wanted to be with her, to dance with her in the most primal way.

She licked the engorged tip of his manhood. Damn! That was the last straw. Every fiber of him was now burning with need to be her. He strengthened his resolve. It was no turning back now. They were both in the point of no return.

He reached for her. He gave her a brutal yet a very passionate kiss. She whimpered as he tore her clothes away. He paused for a moment, just long enough to get his own clothes off. He was now naked all throughout. He continued where he left off.

Steffanie's mouth went dry when she saw the completeness of Gareth's naked body. She couldn't think of anything that could par with the sight of Gareth's hard and lean body. He was indeed a sight to behold. She remembered their role playing earlier. She was indeed right to call him a piece of art. His body was beautifully sculpted, lean muscles, six-pack abs. It exemplified nothing but perfection.

She then looked at his massive erection. He was so big. Earlier, even the two of her hands couldn't fully accommodate him. How would it fit inside her? That small wonder lingered in her mind.

He looked her in the eyes. He was so passionately intertwined in this vortex of hot flaming fire, just like she was. He laid her down gently, her back touching the wooden floor. He was now on top her. They were so close that she felt his hard and minty breath as it brushed gently on her face.

He immediately went back kissing her. His hands now flew everywhere in her body, leaving trains of undiluted desire at his every touch.

He completely removed her dress, leaving nothing on but her lacy lingerie. Gareth's jaw hardened with desire. She could see the fiery passion in his eyes.

He took her breasts in his hands, kneading it over her silk bra. He rained kisses between the valley of her mounds, giving a hot and freckling lick on its sides. She was so drowned in her passion that she was not even aware that Gareth had removed her bra and panties.

His hand felt so good as rubbed one of her peaks while taking the other in his mouth. She never felt this way, like a bomb waiting to be triggered in a one swift explosion.

"You are so beautiful, sweetheart." He said while looking at her velvety folds.

She felt uncomfortable. He was so candid that she felt embarrassed. She instinctively closed her legs but Gareth parted them once more.

"Show it to me sweetheart. Show that it's mine and mine alone."

She closed her eyes as she savoured the sensual tone in his baritone of voice. He kissed that soft spot under her ear. Her mind suddenly stumbled in a memory that she opted to be forgotten. One of the men who tried to rape her also kissed her on that the same spot. During that time, all she could do was to endure it. She felt very unclean. She hated how the dirty tongue of that vicious man touched her flesh.

She stiffened at the thought.

"What's the matter, Steff?" he said in his most caring tone.

"Those men... they kissed me on that same spot."

The look on his face softened.

"Please don't pity me." It was an awkward thing to talk about. Not at this moment when they were both in the most intimate position. Not at this moment when both of them were burning with desire.

"I do not pity you sweetheart. I will replace that awful memory with a wonderful one. So just bear with me a little. I need to prepare you."

She looked at him in the eye. She wanted to believe him.

"I need you Gareth. Make love to me."

She groaned when he grabbed one of her nipple by the mouth. His eyes were still on hers. She wanted to scream her hearts out. The way he sucked her nipple was so good, she was now smoldering with tiny hot flames on her body.

"Did they hurt you here?" He kissed her shoulder blades.

"Yes." She silently said.

Gareth was fuming inside. He was angry to those men who made her feel this way. She did not deserve any of this. He wanted to make her feel special, to make her feel that she was an angel. He will definitely erase the fucking touch of those sons of a bitch.

He rained butterfly kisses on her face, under her ear and on her shoulder blades. He then traced a sensual path from her neck to her navel. His touch ignited more fire in him. He was so fucking horny that he wanted to just ram his dick inside her velvety folds. He wanted to fuck her hard and fast.

But he had to patient. He needed to properly initiate her to the world of sensuality. He wanted to make her feel good, but at the same time, he wanted to make her feel safe and secured as well.

His eyes were now fixated on the most beautiful pair of bosoms that he had ever seen. It was indeed a sight to behold. With the pinkish peaks proudly protruding on those perfectly sized mounds, he cannot help himself but to have a taste of these delicacies. His head descended to taste one nipple before savoring its entirety with his tongue. He licked every corner of her chest with gusto, suckling one peak after another. She tasted very sweet, like a fucking confectioner! Like a deliciously prepared dessert! And for the love that was good. He was a fucking sucker for sweets!

Her silent moans invigorated him. He was so aroused that he felt himself grow an inch more.

"Tell me my name, sweetheart... Tell me my name..."

All she replied was a moan as she writhed under his touch. He snaked his hand on her most private parts, his fingers softly fleeting against her feminine folds. She was so wet down there. His fingers became so slick as it started to play with her flesh. She tightened her fingers on his shoulders, making him aware of the effects of his gentle assault to her.

"You're so fucking wet, Steff. Is it all for me? Tell me sweetheart?"

"Yes, Gareth! It is all for you. All of this is for you."

He loved how her voice sounded like. It was full of longing. It was candid. And it was so fucking hot!

He paused for a moment. He took a good a look at the beauty that beckoned right in front of him. With or without clothes, Steff was indeed a sight to behold. His eyes went down to the center of her glorious femininity. His throat had gone dry in anticipation. Her pussy looked very inviting. Now that its covered with her own juice, it was simply begging to be fucked.

He pinched her clit, enticing it with his every twist. He heard her muffled screams. Somehow the sound of her voice drowned in pleasure was invigorating him.

"Say my name, sweetheart. Shout it if you can."

But she just continued her moaning, completely ignoring his command.

"I said, say my name Steff. Say my name!" He felt very primal, like a fucking Neanderthal who just learned the art of fucking.

She was still delirious, still completely encased in her own world. He moved his fingers, this time slipping one digit inside her. He felt glorious as her folds tightly clamped his fingers. Fuck! It felt wonderful. He started moving in and out, rubbing her clit with his thumb at the same time.

She gave a shout of pleasure.

"C'mon Steff! Who is pleasuring you?!"

He gave another thrust.

"You!"

"Say my fucking name!" But before she could utter anything, he already inserted another finger.

"Gareeeettthhhhh!!!"

His fingers were now moving inside her, thoroughly feeling its tightness, preparing her for his cock. He now thrust and flickered, making her let out another scream. He loved her voice. He wanted to make her scream and scream. He increased the rhythm of his touch. She was now panting.

"Gareth! Gareth! Gareth!"

All that he could hear was her voice calling out his name as she reached her climax.

Steff was inside this unknown world of nothing but pleasure. She was drowning in this endless sea of sensation. And with a powerful stroke, she felt everything gave way. Her body shook, her eyes rolled back, and her screams increased an octave. This was her first climax. The first time that she actually felt that she was a woman.

"Are you ready for me, sweetheart?"

Nahimasmasan siya nang marinig ang boses ni Gareth. Their eyes met. She suddenly froze. Ano ba itong kanyang nagawa? She wanted to back out now but she knew that there was no turning back now. Gareth's eyes were already flaming with passion and lust. Everything was too late now. All she could do was to succumb inside this limbo of sweet but powerful surrender.

"I want you inside me," she answered him back. Bahala na. Saka na niya iisipin pa ang epekto ng pangyayaring ito. Let the devil take tomorrow. All she knew was that she needed to feed this overwhelming desire inside her for this man.

He slowly pushed her legs open. He positioned himself in between them.

"Are you really sure about this, sweetheart?"

She wanted to laugh. They were in the most passionate and decadent position yet he was still asking permission. She looked at his eyes. It was full of worry but at the same time, it was also glazed with desire. Desire for her.

She answered by raising her hips to meet his raging manhood. The moment the tip of his cock met her already wet entrance – Pandemonium erupted.

He went in relentlessly but slowly. She felt overwhelmed by the sudden intrusion. He started to push farther, to fully embed himself. She wanted to fully accommodate him, to return the pleasure that he had given her. But the barrier that had been with her since she was born was not easily giving in. She felt the pain tearing up her most precious possession. Wari niya'y nahahati ang kanyang pagkatao. She was in pain but she wanted to endure it. For him, for this man that she loved. But despite her efforts, a sob still came out from her mouth. Tears were now brewing in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, sweetheart. This will be better soon. I promise you."

He then descended on her, kissing her full on the mouth. His right hand kneaded her breasts, pinching and circling her areola. He then pushed harder, filling her more and more with his length.

His other hand found his clit, he gave it a twist, sending volts of electric currents inside her. He just continued kissing her, touching her.

"You'll adjust with my size too. You just wait Steff."

But she was done waiting. She pumped her hips towards him, filling her to the hilt.

"Take me now... Take me..."

She buried her nails in his back as he abide by her wishes, preparing for the recoil of his assault.

And took he did. Hindi na kayang magpigil pa ni Gareth. He pounded her like crazy. Fuck! The feeling of being inside her was so fucking amazing. He was drowning in this tumultuous tidal wave of pleasure and sensation. He thrusts deeper, in and out, filling her with his entirety.

His sane mind wanted to punch himself in the gut. He knew that he was big down there. Yet here he was, pounding crazily inside a tight pussy. A pussy of a virgin. And worst of all, the pussy of Steff, a woman that was special to him. He should be gentle with her. But his fucking libido got the best of him. He rammed in to her, giving her a long and steady stroke. He then pulled out of her, only to assault her quenching folds back. His thrusts were now fierce and in synch with both of hands as he pleasured her other parts of the body, hoping to at least override the pain with pleasure. It was overwhelming. It was something that he had not experienced in his two decades of existence.

Steffanie was just amorous in his touch. He enjoyed watching her fall into sweet surrender as he increased his tempo. Her breath quickened underneath him.

"Open your eyes Steff." He commanded.

She immediately followed his command.

"Look how perfect we are together."

He suddenly moved his stare on the part where they both became one, the part of their bodies that screamed of arousal, the part of their bodies that could not deny the chemistry between. He was still pumping her nonstop. The sight was so erotic he felt like exploding.

Nanlaki ang mga mata nito. He could see her blush. Fuck! A blushing virgin while being fucked for the first time. Steff was really asking for this.

He began to change the angle of his penetration, trying to find that spot that would sent here to oblivion. She began to pant, feeling the sensation of his thrusts. Then in one thrust, he found the spot that he was looking for. Her scream was beyond audible this time. He pushed once more, hitting that same spot. Steffanie could not hold it any more, in one swift push, she gave in. He felt her explode, sheathing his cock with her feminine juice.

He too was nearing his climax as well. He pistoned her non-stop, increasing the rhythm that would make Steffanie mindless. Her screams were now drowned by his kisses, his tongue and dick were now thrusting in and out to both of her lips and cunt. He moved faster and faster with every heartbeat, with every breath that they both took. Then he felt it coming, his own personal climax that sent him to oblivion. It was so fucking glorious that all of his previous sexual experience could not even par with it.

After that earth-shattering experience, Gareth finally found the courage to pull away. He pressed a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Thank you, Gareth. It was great."

Her eyes were candid. She was so transparent with her feelings. And now, her icy blue eyes expressed nothing but pure adoration and love for him. He did not deserve her. But why he felt good. Because for the first time in his life, he did not fuck. What happened was beyond sex. They both made love.

Steff found herself in her bed. She felt refreshed. Nag-inat siya. Last night, she was so exhausted she couldn't even move a finger. She gave a smile to herself. She gave herself to the man she loved. She was complete.

Tumayo siya sa pagkakahiga. She wobbled a as she struggled to find her balance. Mabuti na lamang at nasa kwarto na niya siya. Her fall was softened by the thick mattress.

Sariwa pa sa alaala niya ang mga naganap kanina. They made love four times, at the studio. At her kitchen when they ate dinner. At her bathroom when she cleaned herself. And lastly, on her bed before she made her slumber.

She was definitely in cloud nine. Hindi nga siya nagkakamali sa kanyang mga nababasa. Sex will be the best thing that a woman could feel, especially if that was with the man that she loved. She had to admit though, it was painful at first but the rest... Goodness... She couldn't even find the proper word for it.

Her thoughts were disturbed by the sudden knock on her door.

"Come in." She knew very well kung sino iyon. Gareth entered his room with a warm breakfast.

She immediately smiled at him. Her own Prince looked very domesticated.

"Good morning, sweetheart."

"Good morning, what do we have here?"

"Breakfast in bed."

Inihain niya ang dala sa kanya. It was fried rice with fried chicken.

"Sorry. I ransacked your fridge."

"No worries." She just can't take the silly smile on her lips. Naasiwa tuloy siya kasi nakatingin ito sa kanya.

"Do you have plans for today?" pag-iiba niya ng usapan. She felt very awkward with his stares.

"Yep. I do. But it involves you."

That caught her attention.

"What do you mean?" Looking at his face really distracted her. He was so handsome. His face was all refreshed. And he cannot help but to remove that naughty grin on his face.

"We'll be going on a five day vacation. You, me and Ash."

Nagulat siya sa narinig. She would love to come with him. But there were other things that she needed to do.

"Thank you Gareth. I really appreciate it, But—"

"No buts, Steff. I would not accept a 'no' for an answer."

"I still have other things to do. I cannot afford to lose some time," pagpapaliwanag niya ditto.

"I'll take care of everything."

Napatayo na siya. She did not know how to explain this one to this man.

"I need to paint my remaining pieces. One week na lang at exhibit ko na. It's a make or break for me."

His face remained blank, "We'll bring all of your painting materials—even if you want your whole studio, we can bring that with us."

Kumapa pa siya ng ibang dahilan, "What about my classes? I need to attend them? And what about yours as well?"

"Done. I already talked to the President of UP early this morning. We are both excused."

"But—"

"C'mon Steff. Hit me with your best shot."

She inhaled deeply, "What about Sofia's wedding. I need to be there, we need to be there."

He gave a triumphant smile, "Done. Already talked to Arthur. Dadating tayo a day before their wedding. Anything else,"

She raised her hands in defeat, "Ok, you win. I'll go with you."

He hugged her. "Thank you, Steff. You'll not regret coming with me. You'll have the best time of your life."

That she didn't doubt. Ngunit kahit wala sila sa bakasyon, just being with this man, was and will always be one of the best days of her life.
