Dangerous Love

CHAPTER 8

(FLASHBACK…)

EVRON was silently watching Blythe while she was washing the dishes, and he was sipping his coffee. He had a soft expression on his face while looking at her.

Tahimik na gabi at tanging ingay na lamang ng tubig na nanggagaling sa faucet ang naririnig sa buong apartment.

Blythe insisted on washing the dishes. Dahil siyaw daw ang nagluto, ito daw ang maghuhugas. Hinayaan na lamang niya ang dalaga sa gusto nitong gawin.

Pero wala ang atensiyon ni Evron sa paghuhugas ni Blythe.

His attention was all on her, especially her body.

Evron forced himself to look away, but he couldn’t.

Hindi niya maalis ang tingin niya sa kasintahan. His mind was already starting to imagine wildly.

Inubos niya ang kape saka uminom ng tubig.

Evron couldn’t restrain himself anymore.

Tumayo siya at naglakad palapit kay Blythe.

He moved behind her without a word.

Napatigil si Blythe sa paghuhugas ng plato nang maramdaman niya ang presensiya ni Evron sa likuran niya. Before she could react, Evron’s arms slipped around her waist, pulling her gently back against him.

Blythe froze. Not because she feared it, but because this is the first time for her.

“Evron…” she whispered, her grip tightening slightly on the plate.

“Don’t mind me, Love.”

“Love?” Ulit ni Blythe. Akala niya, pinaglalaruan lamang siya ng kaniyang pandinig kanina.

Evron smiled. “Can I call you that?”

Isang tango ang naging tugon ni Blythe. “Love…”

Evron leaned closer until his face was near the curve of her neck, and then he inhaled.

The subtle scent of her—soap, warmth, something uniquely Blythe—filled his senses.

Ipinikit ni Evron ang mata.

But his move sent a quiet shiver down her spine.

“Evron…” she said again, softer this time.

Humigpit ang pagkakahawak ni Evron sa kasintahan nang marinig niya ang malambot na pagbanggit nito sa pangalan.

“Love…” Evron trailed his lips on Blythe’s skin.

Blythe’s fingers loosened on the plate, setting it down slowly on the sink.

Walang gumagalaw sa kanilang dalawa. Nanatili silang dalawa sa ganoong posisyon.

Ang tanging maririnig na lamang sa kusina ay ang tubig na lumalabas mula sa faucet at ang kanilang hininga.

Napalunok si Blythe dahil nararamdaman niyang bumibilis ang pagtibok ng kaniyang puso.

Napangiti naman si Evron nang marinig niya ang mabilis na pagtibok ng puso ng kaniyang kasintahan.

“Love, you smell good,” mahinang sabi ni Evron. His voice was husky, turning Blythe on.

His lips brushed lightly against the side of her neck, enough to make her knees weaken slightly.

“Can I kiss you?” Evron asked.

“Y-you’re… already starting…hmm…”

Tumaas ang sulok ng labi ni Evron. His hand started to roam over her body.

Blythe couldn’t take it anymore. She turned in his arms, and her hands instinctively pressed against his chest.

“Love, kung ayaw mo, sabihin mo lang.” Ani Evron habang hindi na niya kayang pigilan pa ang kaniyang sarili.

Gumuhit naman ang ngiti sa labi ni Blythe.

She didn’t hesitate to close the distance and kiss him.

Bahagyang napatigil si Evron ng ilang sandali. Then his hand moved to her waist, pulling her closer, deepening the kiss slightly.

They kissed fervently and intensely.

A mouthful kiss that Evron didn’t let slip away.

Sumusunod naman si Blythe sa bawat galaw ng labi ng kasintahan.

Lumalim ang halikan nilang dalawa hanggang sa hindi namalayan ni Blythe ang sariling kamay na tinanggal ang pagkakabutones ng suot ni Evron na long sleeve. Naglandas ang kamay niya sa dibdib nito.

Evron pulled her closer.

Habang naghahalikan silang dalawa, naramdaman ni Blythe na may tumutusok sa bandang tiyan niya. But she was too focused on the kiss.

Everything outside the moment faded.

When they finally pulled back, their breaths were uneven.

Blythe’s eyes were slightly dazed, and her lips parted as she tried to steady herself.

Hindi naman mapigilan ni Evron ang dampian ng halik sa labi ni Blythe.

After a few moments, when Blythe recovered, she looked at Evron. Then her eyes looked down at his ‘thing’ that she only realized now that it was the one poking her earlier.

“You… you reacted…”

“That’s your effect on me, Love.”

Nag-iwas ng tingin si Blythe habang namumula. “It’s only a kiss,” she murmured.

“Yeah, it’s only kissing… but that was your effect on me. See?” Evron pointed to his unbuttoned sleeve.

Mabilis na isinara ni Blythe ang damit ni Evron para matakpan ang katawan nito. “Sorry,” she muttered. “I got carried away.”

Ngumiti si Evron. “I like it, Love,” he said and didn’t bother to button back his sleeve.

His reason, he was seducing Blythe.

“Are you that good at kissing?” Blythe asked a moment later. Bahagya pang nakakunot ang kaniyang noo.

“I’m good?”

Tumango si Blythe, saka naningkit ang mata. “How many women have you kissed?”

Ngumisi si Evron. “Nagseselos ka?”

Hindi sumagot si Blythe, pero mas lalong naningkit ang mata niya.

Evron turned off the faucet and lifted Blythe. Pinaupo niya ang kasintahan sa lamesa at tumayo siya sa pagitan ng hita nito.

“Evron—”

He kissed her and pinned down her hand against the table so she couldn’t move.

Tumugon naman si Blythe sa halik ng kasintahan.

Medyo agresibo ang halik ni Evron. But it turned her on.

Binitawan ni Evron ang kamay ng kasintahan at humawak ang kamay niya sa hita nito.

His hands caressed her thigh, slipping his way up and pulling up the hem of Blythe’s clothes.

Napatigil na lamang siya nang maramdaman niya ang kamay ni Blythe na pumigil sa kamay niya.

“Huwag…”

Evron didn’t force his way up.

“I’m not ready for that yet…” mahinang sabi ni Blythe.

Ngumiti si Evron saka tumango. “I understand,” he said and placed a kiss on Blythe.

“You will be my first in everything, Blythe. So, you have to be responsible for me.”

Blythe closed her eyes. “Hindi ba dapat ako ang nagsasabi niyan? I’m the woman, Love.”

Evron chuckled. “Even so. I’m afraid you’ll leave me.”

Nagmulat ng mata si Blythe. Ipinalibot niya ang braso sa leeg ng kasintahan. “Can we stay like this for a moment?”

“Anytime,” Evron answered. “You don’t have to ask me, Love. We can kiss and touch each other anytime.”

Blythe blushed. “Now I feel embarrassed. That’s shameful.”

“Nope, that’s called being honest.” Sabi ni Evron, saka inayos ang damit ni Blythe. Then he buttoned his clothes.

He embraced Blythe and stood for that position for a moment.

And neither of them wanted to pull away.
