Dangerous Emotions

IV

“Lahat talaga ng babaeng nakikita mo, gusto mong ikama, ano?”

Napakunot ang noo ni Carter nang sabihin iyon ni Soleil. Napaatras. Biglang natauhan. Binubuska niya lang naman kasi ito at wala siyang balak na makasiping ang kanyang kababata. Ngunit hindi niya nakalkula ang takbo ng ulo nitong kanina pa mainit kaya naman heto ngayon at mas lalong nagkasalubong ang mga kilay nito sa ibinulong niya.

Itinaas niya ang kanyang mga kamay. “Hey, I’m just joking, Sol. You can sleep on the bed, I’ll take the sofa--”

Tila nalunok niya ang dila niya nang hilahin siya nito papalapit gamit ang kurbata niya. Kung hindi niya lang naitukod ang kanyang mga kamay sa pinto ay la-landing ang kanyang mga labi sa labi ni Soleil. Napalunok siya nang mapatingin sa berdeng mga mata nito. May halong inis iyon ngunit may iba pang emosyon na nakahalo roon. Para bang...

“Who told you that we’re done talking here? Aakit-akitin mo ‘ko, tapos bigla kang aatras?” may halong pang-aasar na sabi nito.

He scoffed and tried to pry her hands away from his necktie to no avail. “Alam mo, Soleil Chen, nirerespeto kita. Bitawan mo ang kurbata ko kung ayaw mong--”

Umangat ang gilid ng labi ni Soleil. “Kung ayaw kong ano, Carter? Kung ayaw ko na matikman ka?”

Siya naman ang ngumisi. “Bakit, gusto mo? Akala ko ba, ayaw mo sa amoy-imburnal--”

Hindi siya nakahuma nang hilahin siya nito papalapit at siilin ng halik. Napaungol si Carter. Lalo na nang iyakap nito ang mga braso nito sa leeg niya. She was hot. Her body temperature was hot. Para siyang nabato dahil ganoon din ang nararamdaman niya noong mga oras na iyon. Seryoso ba ‘to? Gusto niya sanang gisingin ang sarili niya dahil tingin niya ay nananaginip siya pero hindi niya magawa. Damn, she was a good kisser, that he was sure of. Makes him think if she was good at giving a service down there too.

“Kung ito ang tanging paraan para mapatahimik ka at hindi mo ako guluhin, then I’ll gladly have s*x with you,” inis na turan nito habang hinihingal at pinagmamasdan ang mga labi niya. “Oh, and don’t think that I didn’t notice that bulge on your pants so don’t deny that you’re aroused by me. That must be really painful.”

“I’m not--” Napaungol siya nang dalhin nito ang kamay nito patungo sa crotch area niya at marahang himasin iyon. Totoo naman kasi ang napuna nito. Kanina pa may gising na gising at nagpa-parade simula noong reception, siguro ay dala na rin ng alak at ng mga pagkaing nakahain. Alam niya na mayroong mali nang mapansin niya na napakadaming oyster sa plato nilang dalawa ni Soleil. Sinamahan pa iyon ng iba pang mga pagkaing nakakapagpagising ng mga nahihimbing. Their plates were filled with delicacies that was thought to be natural aphrodisiacs. Damn, Baba! Were you really that eager to have a grandkid? Or was it you, Mama? Jeez, these boomers...

“I told you, stop denying it.”

Muli niyang nalasahan ang mga labi nito. They tasted like whiskey, and they were intoxicating. This time, Carter did not hesitate. It would be a shame if he would spend his wedding night alone, curled in a sofa, after all. Nilandas ng kanyang mga kamay ang nakapusod na buhok ni Soleil at marahang inalis ang maliit na tiarang nakasuksok doon. Maingat niyang inilapag iyon sa lamesitang nasa tabi ng pinto bago muling pinaglandas ang kanyang kamay patungo sa terante ng halter gown nito. May clasp iyon sa likuran at sa isang mabilis na galaw ng kamay ay naalis niya na iyon. Sandaling lumayo si Soleil upang huminga.

She glanced at him. “Why don’t we have a competition, Carter? The first one who reaches their climax would sleep on the sofa forever.”

He heartily laughed as he placed soft kisses on her bare shoulders. “Is that your welcoming rule for your husband? Baka naman pagsisihan mo ‘yan, kasi paniguradong ikaw ang matutulog sa sofa.”

She raised a brow. ‘Don’t be so cheeky, you’re having a hard-on already. Don’t underestimate me, Carter Chen.”

He shrugged. “Then you should stop talking and prove what you can do to me right at this moment, Soleil. Bring it on.”

Without further ado, Her hands were already removing his coat. His hands were unclasping and untangling the ribbons of her gown. Magkadikit at nagsasayaw ang kanilang mga labi. Parang kanina lang, puro asar at mura ang lumalabas mula sa mga iyon. Ngayon ay ungol na. Hindi rin inakala ni Carter na gagawin iyon ni Soleil. She hated him to the guts, after all. But here they were, spending their honeymoon night together in each other’s arms.

He let his fingers slide on her exposed back as she tore his shirt open. Mahina siyang tumawa at dinala ang mga kamay nito patungo sa sinturon niya. Alam na ni Soleil ang gagawin nito kaya naman hinayaan niya na lamang ang kanyang asawa. Inabala niya ang kanyang sarili sa pagdama sa balat nitong napakakinis sa kanyang palad. Sa paglalagay ng mga maliliit na marka ng labi sa leeg at balikat nito. Mayamaya ay humiwalay na naman ito sa kanya, habol ang hininga nito. “You got a nice body. I guess I won’t be disappointed.”

He smirked. “Oh, baby girl. I never disappoint.”

In one swift move, he lifted her out of her wedding gown. She did not protest, but instead, helped him. His jaw almost dropped on the floor when he saw what she was wearing. Just thin, white lace panties and stockings. Nang hindi na siya umiimik ay si Soleil naman ang ngumisi. “Cat got your tongue, hmm? Let’s start the competition now, Mr. Chen.”

Mabilis siyang naka-recover sa pagkatulala nang marinig ang tinig ng kanyang asawa. Hinila niya ito ngunit iniyakap ni Soleil ang mga binti nito sa beywang niya at inumpisahang atakihin ang kanyang mga labi ng mga halik. Sa pagkakataong iyon ay mas mapusok ang mga iyon. Mas maalab. He did not even bother on holding back his groans as she devoured his mouth. Mukhang mapapasubo siya kay Soleil.

Hindi nagtagal ay natumba sila sa napakalaking kama. Ngayon niya lang napansin ang mga nakakalat na talutot ng rosas sa ibabaw niyon. Kaagad niyang pinaalalahanan ang sarili na tawagan si Caleb bukas ng umaga dahil mukhang pinagkaisahan talaga siya ng kanyang pamilya. But deep down in his in denial heart, Carter was thankful for them. He would not be in that situation if they did not try to do something.

Wait, why are you so happy that you’re going to have s*x with this witch? kontra ng isipan niya.

Bago pa man siya makatutol sa isinisigaw ng kanyang utak ay muli siyang nawala sa huwisyo nang maramdaman ang paglilikot ng kamay ni Soleil. Mukhang determinado ito na mapatulog siya sa sofa kaya naman hindi niya ito pinigilan. But Carter did not go without having any fight. Just as her palm massaged his length, his hands and mouth were fondling with her breasts, leaving her breathless and moaning. He played with her nips with his thumbs as he switched their position. Buong-ingat niyang inihiga si Soleil sa higaan habang pinagpapatuloy pa rin niya ang kanyang ginagawa.

“Carter... Oh, lord...” she groaned, before grabbing on his member. Halos manginig ang kanyang kalamnan nang paglaruan nitong muli ang kanyang p*gkalalaki. Upang makaganti, pinaghiwalay niya ang mga hita nito at inmupisahang masahihin ang lagusan nitong kanina pa mamasa-masa bago ipinasok ang kanyang mga daliri roon. Mabilis itong napaliyad at napahigpit ang hawak nito sa kanyang ari na dahilan para mapaungol siya. Kaagad niyang dinala ang kanyang mga labi sa labi nito at pinatahimik gamit ang kanyang dila. Sumasabay ito sa bawat pagkilos ng kanyang daliri na halos hindi niya na magawa pang huminga nang maayos sa ligayang kanyang nararamdaman.

Itinulak siya ni Soleil papahiga sa kama. Sabay silang natigilan nang magtama ang kanilang mga mata. What was I thinking? Here I am, making love to you... Lumamlam ang mga mata ni Carter nang mapagtanto ang kanyang ginagawa. Baka isipin ni Soleil ay gusto niyang samantalahin ang kasal nila. Baka mas lalo lang sumama ang tingin sa kanya ng dati niyang kababata kaya naman kaagad niyang inalis ang mga kamay niya sa beywang nito at tumikhim.

Napakunot ang noo ni Soleil, habol pa rin ang hininga nito. “Hey... what’s wrong?”

Ngumiti lang si Carter at inalis ito mula sa pagkakadagan nito sa kanya. “I... I was carried away. Sorry. I can sleep on the sofa. And about our room arrangements in our new home, I am fine with the guest room. I wasn’t really planning on sleeping with you tonight and I don’t want you to get the wrong idea--”

Natigilan siya nang padaanin ni Soleil ang hintuturo nito sa mga labi niya. Her eyes were glistening under the faint fluorescent light. Tipid lang itong ngumiti. “Don’t worry, ginusto ko rin naman. Besides, this is going to be the first and the last, Mr. Chen. Consider this a payback for helping me keep my inheritance,” she cheekily said.

He softly laughed. “Well then.”

The both of them did not waste any single second. The next thing Carter knew was Soleil was already riding him, slowly moving her body up and down his shaft. He grabbed on her waist as he pulled her closer, tasting her lips over and over again. As the rhythm of their bodies changed from fast to slow and vice versa, Carter devoured her sweet lips like a hungry man. Kunsabagay, pangarap niya noon na mahalikan ang labi ng kanyang kababata. But things are different now. They were both stuck in this love-and-hate marriage, because Soleil definitely hated him to the guts. Mukhang hindi magiging maganda ang kakahinatnan niya sa magiging relasyon niya. But as long as Soleil could keep her inheritance and her hard-earned career, then he could resort to pleasuring himself always. Ayaw niya naman na pilitin ito na punan ang pangangailangan niya dahil lang kasal sila.

“Carter...” nanginginig na bulong nito sa kanya nang maramdaman niya ang tensyon na namumuo sa katawan nito.

He softly chuckled before kissing her hair and thrusting harder. “Go on, baby girl. I’m at my limit too. Oh, shit...”

She let out a soft groan as he exploded inside her, meeting her release. Her body shuddered as Carter held her close, as he let his body relax after reaching its climax. Nang maramdaman ang pagkalma ng katawan ng kasiping ay maingat niya itong inihiga sa tabi niya at kinumutan. Pagkatapos ay tumayo si Carter at kumuha ng dalawang unan. Napakunot ang noo ni Soleil. Bagaman nakakaramdam ng pagkahapo ay inusisa siya nito kung saan siya patungo.

“Aren’t you tired? Sleep on the bed, for f*ck’s sake.”

Mahina lang siyang tumawa bago ginulo ang kanyang buhok. “Nah, I’ll take the sofa. You won the competition, after all. I came first.”

Even though that was a lie, Soleil did not bother to speak another word. Iniabot na lang nito sa kanya ang isang spare na kumot at nagtalukbong na. He sighed before walking towards one of the couches, and then tried to sleep without remembering what they did earlier.

So we made love, huh? Carter thought. Come on, Carter Chen. Just erase that moment from your mind. This is just a marriage for convenience, after all. Imposibleng magkagusto ka sa mangkukulam na iyon. Love is dangerous. You must control your f*cking self. You managed to forget your one night stands, right? Stop making a fuss now.

But no matter how he convinced himself that he did not feel anything for Soleil anymore, Carter fell asleep with a smile plastered on his lips, still feeling the heat that she had started in his heart.
