Betrothed To Damon

Chapter 14

Hindi ko alam kung ilang minuto kaming nag-stay ni Damon sa gano’ng posisyon, until he woke up and immediately lifted himself. Para itong natauhan na dumistansya sa akin.

“Let’s sleep inside the tent.”

Pinagmasdan ko siyang tumayo at tumungo sa tent niya. Dismayado akong sumunod at napasulyap pa sa tent ni Damon bago pumasok sa akin.

Hindi ako dinalaw ng antok. I remained awake for I didn’t know how long. Pinakinggan ko ang katahimikan ng paligid. I am not used to this kind of place. Nasanay ako sa maingay. Nasanay ako sa maraming tao. Pero bakit pakiramdam ko, napakadali lang para sa akin ang magustuhan ang ganitong klase ng katahimikan? Sa tingin ko, hindi ako makakatulog nito.

Bumangon ako at binuksan ang tent upang pagmasdan ang kalawakan. Nang hindi mapalagay ay tumayo ako at naglakad patungo sa may edge ng valley. I folded my arms on my chest and watched how the city lights illuminated the area. The cold night breeze penetrated my skin and sent chills down to my spine. I was so sure to stay there, feeling the cold air when a pair of arms wrapped around me. I didn’t need to ask who owned it. I automatically held my breath when I felt his hard chest against my back. I was leaning against his body, and that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I didn’t know why my heart started to get wild again; it’s getting louder and faster every second. I didn’t know if it’s right, accurate, or safe. My mind was trying to tell me it’s dangerous, it’s not good, it’s not right . . . but something inside me actually wanted it. I want it.

“Can’t sleep?” His hoarse voice tickled my ear. I could feel a tingling sensation in my stomach.

“I have so much stuff in mind. These don’t want me to sleep.”

“What is it?”

“Nothing.” I lied. I am not ready to say it yet.

How could he be so calm like this? His voice was dark, hoarse, and calm. Kasing lamig ng boses niya ang hanging tumatama sa amin. Ganoon pa man, dahil sa yakap niya, pakiramdam ko ay unti-unti kaming napapalibutan ng apoy na hindi nakakapaso. Nagbibigay ito ng maligamgam na pakiramdam. At that moment, I felt that everything just fit right.

Instead of pushing him away, I let us stay like that. I let him hug me and I let myself feel his warmth. I couldn’t understand why I could hear his heartbeat. Was it because I was leaning against his chest or the breathing of his heart was too loud? At that moment, I forgot who and what he was. I was not ready to ask him if we could try to work this out.

I felt his chin resting on my shoulder until his lips started to plant soft kisses on my nape and on my neck. I squeezed my eyes shut and let myself savor that moment. I wanted to believe in my imagination that we’re actually okay.

Soft moans escaped from my lips when I felt his hand slowly sliding into my sleeve, touching and caressing my waist. My hand automatically moved to the side of his face, allowing him to kiss my neck. I even angled my head to give him more access. In my twenty-six years of existence, I’d never felt turned on by someone in my life. I’d never felt this kind of desire or wild feeling before. I’d never felt lust until this man touched me. I wouldn’t deny that I craved him sometimes. I was craving his touch and kisses. Although I intended to feel disgusted, I only ended up feeling the opposite.

When I turned around, I saw his face, and his mouth was already open as if asking a question. I was not going to make it out to be something that it wasn’t: it was perfect—soft Damon’s lips against the bite of the beer still on our tongues. This time, I insisted on capturing his lips and tasting him. He did more than just not stop me. He kissed me back with the same intensity. I wrapped my arms around his waist, trying to find support and bring our bodies closer. Damon was like a magnet; the more I tried to resist, the more my body wanted to come back to him. I didn’t know what he did to me. Basta ang alam ko, nagsimula kong maramdaman ito no’ng unang beses na maglapat ang mga labi namin.

We kissed and explored each other’s bodies. I couldn’t find any disapproval from me. I wanted it. I wanted us to go far from this. I want what’s happening.

We were lying on the piece of cloth that he had placed here earlier. We’re touching, kissing, and most likely going to own each other. My breath came to a halt, and something deep within me bloomed, causing me to become bold. I cupped him through his jeans as I moved my hands down his belly to his bulging erection. Our clothes had fallen from our bodies, and we were completely naked underneath the starry night sky.

“I want you, Damon,” I whispered in a voice I nearly didn’t recognize as my own. “I want all of you. I want everything you’ve got to give me right now.”

“Part your legs wider, Katherine,” he murmured with his dark eyes, pushing my thighs apart. He rubbed one finger down the center of my femininity, circling the exposed bead and plunging into my glistening moistness. Moans escaped from my lips, uttering his name repeatedly.

I arched my body, reaching for him. “I want to touch you.”

He moved slightly to grant my request. My hands slipped around him, adoring him with my touch. I rocked beneath him, sensing his apprehension. Even in the midst of his need, I saw tenderness in his restraint, which brought tears to my eyes. But the sensation of his fullness rubbing against my nerve ends was like a hot wire against a hot wire. He would provide me with what I required. I was certain of it. The certainty freed me to take risks.

“Ah, f**k,” he muttered hoarsely. I kissed him—an open-mouthed invitation that he took. Every movement drew me in, dragging me closer. Every shift revealed a breathtaking glimmer of mindless ecstasy that seemed to grow with each passing second. I shivered, gripping his shoulders for support, and lost myself in every thrust of his tongue and pumping caress of his manhood.

“Ah! Damon!” I was sweating all over my body. Our bodies were moving at a fast speed. He had control of my mouth and body to the point where I was weeping with it. My arousal gushed through me like a tidal wave—a solid wall of incredible pleasure that took me past the point of no return. Tonight, ecstasy rippled through me, changing me, making me indelibly his. My blood roared through my veins like a wildfire, burning and stinging. He buried his face in my shoulder and muffed his shout. Surrendering to the longest, hottest release of my life, I joined him in a world where I’d never been.

It took a while for us to find ourselves again. He was against my body. We were both catching our breath when he rolled next to me. We remained lying on the ground facing the night sky, naked. No one cared about it. I closed my shivering legs. I could still feel our c*m trailing down from my hole. It was my first time, and I gave it to him. He didn’t force me. I gave him my permission; I didn’t say no.

My lips were apart as my heart continued to beat at a fast rate. I could also feel the warmth of his bare body and his erection, indicating that he’s still alive.

“Are you okay? Does it hurt?”

“A little, but it’s wonderful,” I admitted. There’s no point in denying that; I actually liked it. I never thought he could be gentle with me. He never came off rough, not until I told him.

He kissed my head, cheek, nose, and lips before burying his face in my neck. He hugged me tightly. We were the bravest, exposing our bare bodies regardless of how chilly the night grew. He took me again after a while for a different position, and after that, we slept together, both exhausted. He wasn’t just my first, he was also my second.

Nagising akong nasa loob na ng tent at nakasuot na rin ng damit. It was Damon’s shirt that I was already wearing while I was on my panties. I cried when I tried to stand up. Kaagad akong napaupo ulit dahil sa sakit ng nasa pagitan ng mga hita ko. I was sore. I felt like it was swollen. Para ding binugbog ang katawan ko.

“What happened?” tanong ni Damon.

Maluha-luha ko siyang tiningnan. “Ang sakit,” parang batang pagsusumbong ko sa kaniya. Ang kunot niyang noo ay nawala. Bumaba ang mga mata nito sa katawan ko bago ngumisi na siyang kinagulat ko. Wtf?

“Stay there. I’ll just fix our things,” sabi niya.

Hindi na ako sumagot at hinayaan siya. Maya-maya lang ay binuhat na niya ako na kinagulat ko.

“D-Damon . . .”

“Don’t move. Hold tight.”

Gulat man ay nagawa ko pa ring yumakap around his shoulder as I let him carry me on his back. Bitbit ng isa niyang kamay ang bag na dala niya kahapon at tahimik siyang naglakad pabalik sa bahay habang buhat ako.

What happened last night was amazing to the point that it felt surreal. Did we really make love? It wasn’t just a s*x thing for me. It’s too romantic and passionate. I didn’t like to think that it’s just plain s*x. I wouldn’t settle for that. Ano man ang kahulugan no’n kay Damon, para sa akin, what happened between us was special because it felt that way.

Nang makarating sa bahay niya ay maingat niya akong dinala sa kuwarto na tinutulugan niya—hindi sa kuwarto na tinutuluyan ko. He put me down inside the shower tunnel. Siya na rin ang nagbukas nito. Napasinghap ako nang bumagsak ang malamig na tubig sa katawan ko.

“Finish taking a shower; I’ll prepare our breakfast.”

Hindi ko alam kung bakit napangiti ako nang tuluyan siyang makalabas. I know this is not healthy for me.
