KABANATA 42

It was still dawn and cold when I heard him sneaking into my room. Dinig ko rin ang may kalakasang patak ng ulan sa labas kasabay ng paglalapat ng pinto.

My breath hitched when I felt him lie down beside me. Marahan ko pang minulat ang mga mata nang maramdaman ang paghiga niya at pagyakap sa akin mula sa likod.

"Can't sleep?" bulong na tanong ko.

He wouldn't be here if he could get enough sleep.

He showered my shoulder with small kisses that made me bite my lower lip harshly.

"I told you that you'd be needing me, but I guess I'm the one who needed and wanted you," he whispered.

"Hmm," I moaned as I felt his hand travel inside my loose shirt.

Ano pa bang magagawa ko? Nandito na at niluluto na sa apoy. I will not deny the fact that we now have this connection in bed, scorching or burning.

"If you stop me, I'll stop," he offered, but then he massaged my breasts, which were braless, and bit my earlobe.
