Chapter 3

   

Damn!

What the hell am I doing in front of him?!

Nag-angat siya ng tingin.

Those deep hazel brown eyes locked on me—A direct gaze, not flirty or playful, but intense. Like he was seeing through me.

Hindi ako nakagalaw. Para akong napako sa kinatatayuan ko. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko, parang lalabas sa aking dibdib.

Damn it, Katalina Leigh, what the hell are you doing?! Seriously?!

“Yes?” he asked in a deep baritone voice that sent chills down my spine and far too sexy for a drunk woman like me to handle.

 Napalunok ako. My God.

He was even more gorgeous up close.

Perfect jawline. Light stubble. 

And those red lips..

 They looked… inviting. Tempting.

My whole body tingled.

It’s like something deep inside me had come alive.

My body felt awake. Hungry.

Ito siguro ang epekto ng pinainom sa’kin ng lalaking ‘yon. May hinahanap ako, Nag-iinit ako. 

 Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili. Inilang hakbang ko ang pagitan namin—at walang pakundangan akong umupo sa kandungan niya. At sinungaban siya ng halik. 

Sinakop ko ang mapupulang labi ng gwapong estrangherong ito.

I moaned,

 Nalasahan ko ang ininom niyang whiskey, it swirling on my tongue. Bold. Seductive. Nakaka-adik sa sarap.

I deepened the kiss, slipping my tongue into his mouth… and to my surprise, he kissed me back.

He gladly accepted my kiss. He didn’t push me away or even hesitate.

And when I heard him moan, the heat in my body surged even more.

Damn this.

I could feel his body suddenly heat up too.

My hand slid down to his firm, chiseled chest.

Damn it, Katalina! Wake up! This isn’t you.

What you’re doing is wrong. Stop yourself before you regret it.

I was about to pull away—But he suddenly wrapped his arm tightly around my waist, like he didn’t want to let go.

Instead of stepping back, my arms clung even tighter around his neck. Gosh, wala na talaga ako sa tamang wisyo.

Mas lalong naging mapusok ang halikan namin.

Hot. Desperate. Wild.

Naglakbay na  ang mga kamay niya sa katawan ko.

Hanggang sa maramdaman kong hawak na niya ang dibdib ko—at pinisil niya iyon.

Napaungol ako.

Then he bit my lower lip, gently pulled away, and looked at me with fire in his eyes.

“Damn, woman… What power did you put on me? I'm so turned on,” he whispered, voice thick and dripping with desire.

I wasn’t embarrassed. Parang ang kapal kapal ng mukha ko. Wala akong pakialam kung ako ang lumapit at nag first move..

I gave him a teasing, seductive smile.

“You do the same to me.”

 His gaze darkened even more.

“Uh-huh?”

I nodded slowly.

He smirked—devilishly handsome—then kissed me again, hungrily, like he couldn’t get enough.

He pulled back just slightly and whispered close to my ears.

“Want to go to a hotel and continue this?”

 Oh God.

 That was a dangerously hot invitation.

I knew this was wrong. This wasn’t part of my plan tonight. All I wanted was to forget. To escape the pain.

But…

I couldn’t say no.

So I nodded.

 He stood up right away, grabbed my hand, and without saying another word, He pulled me out of the bar—straight into the heat of a decision I knew I could never take back.

*******

 The moment we stepped inside the hotel room, he immediately pulled my waist and kissed me—fiercely, hungrily.

 The heat I was already feeling doubled now that it was just the two of us, alone, without any distractions. After that intoxicating kiss, he pulled back slightly, his eyes dark and full of desire.

“So… what should I call you?” he asked huskily, his hand caressing my back.

Damn. His breath smelled so good, so close, so intoxicating—it turned me on even more.

I swallowed hard before answering, “Katalina. Call me Kat.”

“Mmm… what a beautiful name,” he whispered against my ear, sending chills down my spine.

God, why does that feel so good?

“How about you?” I asked breathlessly. “What’s your name? What should I call you?”

“Zach,” he said simply.

The moment he said his name, he suddenly kissed me. I moaned as his hand cupped my breast, making me grip his firm arm for support.

“Zach,” I moaned his name when I felt his hand glide down between my thighs, pressing exactly where I needed him. Wearing a dress made it all too easy for him to touch me.

“Yes, Katalina?” he murmured against my neck, his warm breath sending shockwaves across my skin.

“Please… kiss me,” I whispered breathlessly.

Damn it. I couldn’t believe I just said that. But he didn’t hesitate, In seconds, his lips were back on mine—hot, soft, hungry.

Our tongues tangled in a wild rhythm, and all I could do was moan into his mouth, completely overwhelmed by the fire he lit inside me.

The next thing I knew, I felt my back hit the soft mattress. I didn’t even notice he had already carried me to the bed.

I was burning. Something inside me snapped. Without thinking, I pushed Zach down on the bed and climbed on top of him—claiming control, craving more.

The moment I kissed him, his hands gripped my waist tightly. My lips trailed down from his mouth to his neck, kissing and licking his skin, savoring the taste of him—until I heard him moan.

I left a few marks, unable to stop myself. I was craving this man’s body like I had never craved anything before.

“Oh, damn it… I want you, Katalina,” he groaned, his voice thick with lust.

I knew exactly where this was heading—but I couldn’t find it in me to stop.  I didn’t want to stop. I wanted this.

I needed him—to touch me, to feel me. I was already soaking wet with desire. I wanted Zach’s hands on me. 

 I couldn’t believe I was about to give myself to a stranger like this. With Miguel, I guarded myself for years. But now? Now, I didn’t care anymore.

Oh, fuck it.

 I gasped when Zach suddenly flipped us over, switching positions—he was now on top of me, his eyes locked on mine, jaw clenched, intense.

 And then he kissed me—deep, slow, hungry—while his hands began undressing my clothes. I did the same to him, needing to feel his skin against mine.

 When his hand finally cupped my breast, I arched my back and a jolt of electricity ran through me. But nothing prepared me for the moment. When he took my nipple in his mouth and played with it using his tongue, I couldn't help but moan.

“Oh… Zach…”

My body was on fire.

Ang isang kamay niya ang gumapang pababa sa hita ko, banayad ang haplos, pero nakakadarang.

Hanggang sa maramdaman ko ang kamay niya sa ibabaw ng panty ko—at dahan-dahan niyang ipinasok ang kamay sa loob.

“Ahhh... Zach...” Napaungol ako, kumapit sa braso niya, habang pinaglalaruan niya ang pagkababae ko, dahan-dahan pero may ritmo, alam na alam niya kung saan hahawakan.

 Gumapang ang kuryente sa buo kong katawan.

  Hinuli niya ulit ang labi ko, hinalikan ako ng mariin, parang gusto niyang sambahin ang bawat parte ng pagkatao ko.

"You're so wet, Katalina…" he growled in my ear, his voice deep and full of hunger. "And I f*cking love it."

I couldn’t take it anymore. The need—the craving—was overwhelming.

“Faster, please…” I begged.

Zach obeyed, his fingers moving faster, deeper—sending shockwaves through my core.

I gripped his chest, my hands trailing over his hard abs as I kissed down his neck. He was clearly holding himself back.

He quickly pulled down my panties, and for a moment, he just stared—almost in awe—at the sight in front of him.

"You’re so beautiful, Katalina," he murmured, his eyes dark and ravenous. "I can’t take this anymore."

He positioned himself between my thighs, and the moment I saw his fully aroused length,

I froze.

“It’s… f*cking big,” I whispered in disbelief.

“W-wait… will that even fit inside me?” I asked, my voice trembling—half nervous, half burning with desire.

He gave me a seductive smile, then leaned in and whispered in my ear,

“Trust me, baby…it’ll fit just right with your wet cherry,” he murmured, his voice husky with lust. “And you’ll be screaming from the pleasure.”

A wave of heat coursed through me from head to toe just hearing him say that.

“Alright,” I breathed. “Then put it inside me now…”

  A seductive sexy smirk appeared on his lips as he gripped my hips and pulled me closer. He positioned himself at my entrance, hovering just above my soaked folds. His intense gaze locked with mine—deep, unreadable—before he slowly pushed himself inside me.

 A sharp gasp escaped my lips as I instinctively shut my eyes tight. A flash of pain tore through me, sharp and sudden, like something splitting me open. I felt a tear slide from the corner of my eye.

 It hurts. 

It hurts more than I expected. Like my entire body was being broken into pieces.

I clung tightly to Zach’s arm, biting my lip to stop myself from crying out.

He stopped.

“You’re a virgin?” he asked, stunned. His expression shifted—shocked, serious, and then suddenly gentle.

I opened my eyes and slowly nodded. 

“Yes.”

“F*ck,” he muttered under his breath, almost like he was scolding himself.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

 He tried to pull away, but I quickly stopped him, grabbing his arm.

“Please… don’t,” I whispered, my voice trembling with both nerves and longing. 

 “I want this. Just… please continue.”

 Tumingin sa akin si Zach, may pag-aalinlangan sa kanyang mga mata.  Nakita ko na nagdadalawang-isip siya, nagpipigil—ngunit ayaw ko siyang tumigil. Kailangan ko siya. Kailangan kong ilabas ang init na nagsusumiklab sa aking katawan.

 I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him again, deeper this time—pouring every bit of my desire into that kiss. 

 Slowly, I began to move my hips against him, finding a rhythm that dulled the pain and replaced it with pleasure. My breath hitched as soft moans escaped from my lips.

 Zach groaned into my mouth, responding to every movement. His hands gripped my waist tighter, his control slowly unraveling. Then he gave in—thrusting deeper, harder, as if he couldn't hold back anymore. Our bodies moved together in a heated dance, every motion sending sparks through my veins.

“Faster… Zach, please…harder..” I gasped, clinging to him.

“God, Katalina… you’re driving me insane,” Zach groaned, his voice rough and breathless.

I gasped for air, my chest rising and falling rapidly, feeling like something inside me was about to explode.

“Oh gosh... I’m coming—Zach, I’m coming!” I cried out, my voice trembling with the intensity of what I was feeling.

 Zach responded with deeper, faster thrusts, his grip tightening as our bodies moved in perfect sync. The room was filled with nothing but the sound of our moans, breathy and desperate.

“Ohhh… aahhh… more, Zach… deeper,” I whimpered, lost in the overwhelming pleasure.

“Come for me, baby,” he growled, his voice dark and commanding.

I couldn’t think anymore—only the pleasure mattered, the way he made me feel.

“Oh—I’m cumming!” I moaned loudly, my body arching beneath him.

 “That was… so good…”

Zach moved even faster above me, his movements filled with raw intensity.

“Damn it…” he hissed through clenched teeth. “Katalina… God, your so f*cking good.”

“Ahh—Katalina!” he cried out as he reached his climax, groaning my name.

 I felt him release inside me, his warmth filling me completely. A long, satisfied moan escaped his lips, his body trembling against mine as waves of pleasure crashed over us.
