Chapter Thirteen
Axel's POV
I woke up feeling something heavy on my chest. I opened my eyes and was about to swap it away but saw Valerie's head resting there. Idly, I stared at her sleeping face for a few seconds, not really knowing what to do. I couldn't explain it but the feeling of having her in my arms felt perfect and natural. Like this was meant to happen.
I reached my hand to her hair and brushed back a few strands of her hair out of her face. I was instantly attracted to her the first time I saw her in the hospital while Tristan was in coma. I had seen so many beautiful women but I got overwhelmed when she looked at me. She was beautiful and she knew it. And she sure as hell knew how to use it to get what she wanted. She was such a tease in every shape and form. Kahit nga natutulog siya para pa rin siyang nang-aakit. Mula sa buhok niya ay pinagapang ko ang mga daliri ko sa pisngi niya.
She suddenly moved closer to me. Isiniksik pa niya lalo ang sarili niya sa tagiliran ko. I swallowed. Parang napaso ang mga kamay kong inilayo iyon sa mukha niya. Damn! I wasn't supposed to feel this way.
I tried to push that thought away.
Feel what? You're just fuckin horny, man... You just want to fuck her!
Yeah, that thought made so much more sense to me. I just wanted to screw her. It was just the anticipation I felt.
"Valerie..." Dahan-dahan kong tinanggal ang mga braso kong nakapulupot sa kanya. I didn't like how comfortable it felt having her in my arms. This was like a scene right out of a sappy romance film where the guy cuddles the girl and plays with her hair after fucking? We didn't even fuck.
She moaned, said my name and smiled. Hindi ko napigilan ang mapangiti. Was she dreaming of me? Inilapit ko ang bibig ko sa tainga niya. "Valerie..."
Slowly, she opened her eyes, blinking a couple of times before her vision focused on me. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya at lalo akong napangiti sa reaksyon niya.
"Good morning, princess." I grinned. "I heard you say my name in your sleep. Were you dreaming about me, princess? Tell me, in your dream, were we fucking nice and slow and were you making me sweat for it?"
Nanlaki lalo ang mga mata niya at sumimangot siya. She hit me on the chest. "I did not dream of you!"
"Bakit mo binabanggit ang pangalan ko?" I cocked a brow.
"Did not! You're lying... Tabi nga!" She quickly pushed me away, jumped out of the bed and ran out of my room. Matagal kong tinitigan ang pinto kung saan siya lumabas bago naiiling na napangiti. My eyes averted to the side of the bed where she layed next to me. Wala sa sariling hinawakan ko ang pwesto kung saan siya nakahiga kanina. Everytime I was with her I feel lust, I couldn't rebel against my primitive needs, lust and something more... I always felt the need to watch her whenever she's in the room, touch her whenever she's near... It was confusing for me. Ngayon ko lang ito naramdaman. I had never felt this way even for... Napahinto ako at sunod-sunod na napailing at matagal na tumitig sa kisame
This was ridiculous. Valerie, what have you done to me?
She was driving me mad. Hindi ko magawang alisin siya sa isip ko kahit gusto ko. I couldn't even take a single breath without wishing I was touching her. To burn with this much desire and keep it to myself was the worst punishment I had ever had.
Just thinking about was enough to make me hot all over...
Valerie's POV
I was in front of the vanity mirror, drying my hair after getting out of the shower. Even after taking a bath, I could still smell him on me. I could still feel his warmth wrapped around my body. I sighed while looking at myself in the mirror. His scent, his touch and his kiss... it burned in my memory like a bad song stuck in my head. I didn't want it there but I couldn't get rid of it.
Bumalik na naman sa isip ko ang nangyari sa ibabaw ni Mitsy kahapon. We practically had done everything except penetration. I fooled around with Axel behind David's back... literally. I started to question if I was still worthy for David. Hindi na ako 'malinis' na babae. Axel had already tainted me in every way. I was still technically a virgin but that was all. I was no longer pure but at least my 'virginity' pa akong mabibigay sa kanya, iyon na lang ang pinanghahawakan ko ngayon. I only wanted David to have it. Hindi si Axel ang makakakuha nun. I will protect it with everything I have. I didn't save my virginity just so I could lose it to some playboy douchebag who would have sex with anyone with a vagina.
Pagkatapos kong magbihis at mag-ayos ay bumaba ako sa dining room para kumain. Dad was already sitting on his usual spot, reading newspaper.
"Good morning, daddy." I said, kissing him on the cheek.
"Good morning, hija."
Umupo ako sa right side ni daddy and we silently ate our breakfast.
"Pagkatapos mong kumain dalhan mo si Axel ng almusal." Sabi ni daddy,
Napahinto ako bago ko pa masubo ang hotdog na nakatusok sa tinidor ko. I looked at dad and frowned. "May mga maid naman tayo. Bakit kailangan ako pa ang magdala sa kanya ng breakfast?"
"Bakit ba hindi mo makasundo si Axel? Pinuntahan ka niya dito mula pa sa Maynila para makipag-ayos sa'yo. Nakakahiya sa kanya na hindi mo man lang siya asikasuhin gayong ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit siya napilayan."
"How many times do I have to tell you, daddy, na hindi ko kasalanan iyon? Siya ang may gawa nun sa sarili niya.Hindi na bata si Axel, he knows what he's doing." Inis na sabi ko.
Dad sighed. "Valerie, kung anuman ang hindi niyo mapagkasunduan, ayusin mo na yun. Nakikita ko naman na gumagawa siya ng paraan para magkaayos kayo. He's trying to reach out to you."
He's trying to get in my pants! Kung alam mo lang!
"What if I don't want to?" I cocked a brow.
"Then I'd have to do things you won't want me to do. Ipapaputol ko ang credit cards mo at hindi kita papayagan lumabas ng hacienda kahit pa kasama mo si David hangga't hindi ka nakikipag-ayos kay Axel."
"What? You can't do that to me!" I exclaimed, slamming my hands on the table. Iyon na nga lang ang kaligaya
"Of course, I can and I will. Trust me." Dad said in a serious tone. "He's your brother's friend. Isa siya sa mga tumulong sa kapatid mo noong mga panahong wala tayo sa tabi niya. The least you can do is show him a little hospitality."
I pursed my lips in annoyance. I just couldn't wait for Axel to leave the hacienda. Pahamak talaga ang lalaking iyan. Isa siyang malaking tinik sa buhay ko.
Dad looked down at his wrist watch. "Kailangan ko ng umalis. Ikaw na ang bahala kay Axel."
"Fine." I huffed and rolled my eyes.
"Bye, princess." He stood up from his seat ang gave me a kiss on the cheek before he left.
Pagkatapos kumain ay inakyat ko ang pagkain ni Axel sa kwarto niya. I stopped in front of his door. He wasn't making any noise. I wondered what he was doing right now. I turned the knob and opened his door. I found him sleeping soundly on his stomach, his head snuggled into the pillow
Ibinaba ko ang tray sa bedside table. Axel was so still and quiet. I was about to leave but my gut instinct told me not to.
"Axel..." I slowly walked to him. Hindi pa rin siya gumalaw. Humihinga pa ba 'to o ano? Umupo ako sa gilid ng kama niya. I touched his arm and he felt hot. Hinawakan ko ang noo niya para masiguro at mainit din iyon. His hair was wet from his sweat which means his fever must have broke.
"Axel..." I gently shook him.
"W-what?" He opened his eyes, blinked a couple of times while looking at me.
"Kumain ka na so you could take your meds." Sabi ko.
"Wala akong gana." He closed his eyes again.
"But you need to eat." Pilit ko.
"I don't want to eat. Just let me sleep." Inis na sabi niya bago tinakpan ang mukha ng unan.
I sighed and rolled my eyes bago ko kinuha ang unan na nakatakip sa kanya. "May lagnat ka. You need to eat something."
"I'm fine." He said, drifting back to sleep.
"No, you're not. You're burning hot." I said. "Come on, kumain ka na kahit ilang subo lang. Hindi kita titigilan."
"Okay..." Sumuko na siya. I helped him sit up and he leaned his back against the headboard. Kinuha ko ang tray at inilapag iyon sa harap niya. He just stared at the food blankly, obviously not in the mood to eat.
I picked up the fork and spoon at ako na ang nagsubo sa kanya. Inilapit ko ang spoon sa kanya at inilayo niya ang ulo niya.
"Eat." I said.
He disgruntledly sighed like a kid being forced to eat before opening his mouth. Isinubo ko sa kanya ang pagkain and secretly smiled. It was weird seeing his vulnerable side. I wasn't used to it. It was like seeing a new light of him.
"Last one." I said as I raised the spoon to his mouth. I knew he was very capable of doing this by himself but I really enjoyed taking care of him.
"What are you smiling for?" He teased, grinning.
Hindi ko napansin na nakangiti na pala ko. I wanted to face palm myself. I looked down at the plate to cover my embarrassment.
"Kumain ka na lang." Sabi ko at inilapit ko ulit sa kanya ang kutsara pagkatapos kong kumuha ng pagkain.
"Sabi mo last ng yung kanina." Parang batang reklamo niya.
"Last na talaga 'to. Huwag ka ng makulit." I said.
With no other choice, he opened his mouth again. I fed him the last of the food and handed him a glass of water. Pinainom ko siya ng gamot pagkatapos kumain. He went back to sleep after that. Hinaplos ko ulit ang noo niya at mainit pa rin siya. Kumuha ako ng isang tabo ng malamig na tubig mula sa banyo at sponge. Maybe a cold sponge bath would help bring down his temperature.
I slowly unbuttoned his shirt. Napalunok ako ng humantad ang matigas na dibdib niya at ang six pack niya. It was broad daylight, the sight of his powerful body was both impressive and real. He had touched me, pleasured me, made me come a couple of times before but I had never touched his body yet. Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili kong hawakin iyon, my finger traced the split down the middle of his six pack.
I gasped when he grabbed my wrist. I slowly looked up and saw him grinning at me. Mabilis kong binawi ang kamay ko at nagbaba ng tingin.
"What are you doing? Taking advantage of a sick man?" He chuckled.
"I wasn't- I'm just giving you a sponge bath!" I stammered out. He totally just caught me red handed.
"Right." His grin became even wider.
"Right! Because you still smell like horse." I retorted, trying to hide my embarrassment.
"Why? Does it remind you of something?" Makahulugang sabi niya.
My cheeks burned, he knew he was embarrassing me... and he enjoyed every moment of it.
"I swear, Princess, you will always remember me everytime you ride that fuckin horse or any other horse." He said and he was right. I knew what he said was true. I would always remember him, I woudl always remember riding his... his thing everytime I ride Mitsy. God, he had messed me up so bad. I wanted to get mad at myself for letting his ruthless seduction bring me this low.
"Why did you stop, Val?" He asked and took my hand. Dinala niya iyon sa dibdib niya. I touched his extra hot chest. Oh God, please help me.
I swallowed as he started moving my hands until I was moving it by myself. Nagpatuloy na lang ako sa marahang pagpupunas sa katawan niya.
Pinadaan ko ang sponge sa leeg niya pababa sa dibdib niya at sa abs niya. I could feel the temperature in the room dropping. Binawi ko agad ang kamay ko.
"My pants... take it off." He groaned.
"H-huh?"
"It's uncomfortable." He said. "I've been wearing it since yesterday."
I swallowed hard before reaching down and latching four fingers on the waist of his pants. I carefully pulled it off revealing his black boxers that fit snug against his skin. My eyes glided down his defined stomach to the indent forming a V and even lower to his bulge.
I quickly snapped my head away from it when I realized what i was doing. What was I doing? Tinakpan ko ng kumot ang katawan niya at nang akmang tatayuna na ako ay bigla niyang hinawakan ang kamay ko.
"Don't leave me." He mumbled. I gazed down at him and he was looking at me. He looked like a helpless child. "Val, don't leave..."
I mindlessly brushed my fingers through his wet hair. "I won't..."
He grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me down. Napahiga ako sa tabi niya. He scooted closer to me, snuggling his head in between my breasts like this valley was only meant for him. is body curled up to me like a little boy. Nagulat ako sa ginawa niya nung una but I quickly softened when I looked down at him sleeping peacefully. Pinabayaan ko na siya, the poor guy needed rest. It just felt right. We just clung together with me stroking his hair. Right now, all I wanted to do was to help Axel and comfort him.
Nanood na lang ako ng tv habang binabantayan ko siya. Hindi ko alam kung gaano na kami katagal sa ganung posisyon ng mag-ring ang phone ko. I carefully sat up and took it out of my pocket. Sinagot ko agad iyon dahil ayokong magising si Axel.
"Hey, angel..." It was David.
"David!" Gulat na sabi ko.
"Are you free for a dinner tonight?" He asked.
"Dinner? Tonight?" I bit my lower lip and looked down at Axel. I was surprised to find him looking back at me.
"You can go..." He mouthed with a blank expression. Tama ba ang pagkakaintindi ko sa sinabi ni Axel? He said I could go... But why didn't I feel like going?
"I-I'm sorry, David. Sa ibang araw na lang. I already have a plan for tonight." I sighed.
"Oh ok, sure." He said with a hint of disappointment in his voice. Nagpaalam na siya at ibinaba na ang phone pagkatapos nun.
"Bakit hindi ka sumama sa kanya?" Tanong ni Axel. "I'm a man of my words, Val. Sabi ko naman sa inyo kapag natalo ako, hindi ko na kayo guguluhin."
"I promised dad I would take care of you." I answered. Although it was true pwede rin naman akong umalis kung gusto ko. Plus he said I could go but I chose not to. "Masama pa rin ba ang pakiramdam mo?" Pag-iiba ko.
He sat right up next to me. He cupped my chin in between his fingers and made me face him. "Do you love David, Val?"
It took me a couple of seconds before I could answer "Yes..."
That was what I believed. I grew up with David. He was my childhood sweetheart, my first kiss. He was my perfect dream guy. For a long time, he was the only man I pictured myself marrying. Ilang taon ko siyang hinintay nang umalis siya. I saved myself for him. If this wasn't love then I don't know what this is.
Umiling si Axel. "You're not in love with him. You're just in love with the idea of him. When you don't know a person you can fill all the things you don't know about him with everything you want. In your mind, David is your prince charming but he is not. And you're no princess, Val, you're a bad girl and you deserve to be treated like one."
"I'm giving you the good and the bad, and even ugly. But you know this is real." His face was so close to mine I could feel his hot breath. Axel lowered his head on mine and I closed my eyes as my whole world became centered on him. He kissed me, running his tongue over lips, gently biting and sucking my lower lip as my lips moved with his. I felt like there was hundreds of butterflies fluttering in my stomach and fireworks exploding in my head. His tongue thrusted inside my mouth, forcing it to open.
I trembled under the hands that held my face. I let myself drown. I let myself drown in him, letting all thought out of my head. We were both panting but we just kept kissing. My need for him was stronger than my need for oxygen.
We kissed until we were lying on the bed with him on top of me. His hand slid up and down my legs and up to the side of my body. He touched me here and there, only coming close to the parts that was aching for his touch. Iniliyad ko ang katawan ko sa kanya. His hand finally cupped my breast, his fingers brushing on my nipple, eliciting a gasp from me.
Humiwalay ang labi niya sa labi ko. He gave small kisses down onto the line of my jaw and down to my neck. Kumapit ako sa buhok niya. He kissed me there for a few moment bago muling bumalik sa mga labi ko. He gave me one final kiss on the lips before he stopped, resting his forehead on mine. Disappointment bled through me. Why did he stop? I wanted him to kiss me again.
Humiga siya sa tabi ko at hinatak ako sa kanya. Umunan ang ulo ko braso niya at ilang minuto kaming nanatiling ganun. Does he have any idea what he does to my senses, to my body, to my emotions, to my spirit? He invades them. Nobody had ever made me feel like this. He was both my chaos and my quiet.
"Jesus, Val! It's too fucking hot!" Sigaw niya. His foot was resting on my lap ng idikit ko sa ankle niya ang heating pad.
"Tiisin mo." I said.
He let out a groan nang ilapit ko lalo ito sa kanya. Axel was doing better than earlier now. Bumaba na ang lagnat niya at pinakain at pinainom ko na ulit siya ng gamot. Dahil din siguro sa pilay niya kaya siya nagkalagnat.
"Tama na, tama na!" He scowled. I huffed at kinuha na ang heating pad.
"I can't believe you're such a baby."
"You need to kiss it to make it feel better." He teasingly said, grinning.
"Ha-ha! Like I would kiss your stinky foot!" Kunwaring umirap ako sa kanya.
"I owe it to you, Val. Thanks for staying and taking care of me." Seryosong sabi niya. Hindi ko alam kung totoo ang lahat ng mga sinasabi niya o sinasabi niya lang ito dahil may sakit siya at nagdedeliryo na? But I couldn't stop myself from smiling.
"B-babalik na ako sa kwarto ko. I'm tired. Do you need anything else?" Tanong ko.
"Lumapit ka dito." He said. Sinunod ko ang sinabi niya.
He suddenly cupped my face and gave me a gentle kiss on the lips.
"Good night." He said after the kiss.
"G-good night..." I mumbled, still hazed.
I left the room wondering about everything that happened. We made out kanina and now he kissed me.
Bumalik na ako sa kwarto ko at wala sa sariling napahawak sa mga labi ko. My lips tinged at the memory of our kiss. I was hungry and I knew I wanted more than just a kiss or making out. He left me wanting more, the intense desire was almost painful.
Suddenly, I knew I was in too deep.
This couldn't be happening...
