CHAPTER FORTY ONE: HIGH

CIRCE'S POV

I couldn't help letting out an "oooh" when Coal and I entered the private jet that the company Luna worked for lent to us. It wasn't as huge as Belaya's family's jet since it looks like it's been built for a few people, but it looks much more comfortable than the usual plane used for commercial travel.

Ilan lang ang upuan no'n, may mahabang couch, at mukhang may kuwarto sa dulo. There's also a minibar stocked with drinks.

A male flight attendant helped us with our luggage after guiding us to two seats facing each other, separated by a circular table. Sa lamesa ay mayroong nakahanda ng charcuterie board at champagne.

"This looks cozy," I told Coal while the jet prepared for takeoff.

He didn't say anything, but the corner of his lips tipped up. Tumayo siya mula sa pagkakaupo niya at siya na ang nagkabit ng seatbelt ko. He planted a kiss on my forehead before he went back to his seat in front of me and buckled himself.

I pluck a pineapple from the board, and I start eating while surveying the place. Nakakailan na akong kain no'n at ng iba pang prutas bago tuluyan ng nag-takeoff ang sinasakyan namin. I was so transfixed by gazing out the window, something I always do whenever I'm on the plane, that when I returned my attention to Coal, only then did I notice that he was staring at me in a way that made me want to blush.

"What?"

Umiling lang siya bilang sagot at kinalag niya ang seatbelt niya. He reached out his hand to me. Nagtataka man ay inalis ko rin ang seatbelt ko at inabot ko ang kamay niya.

"There's a club I really wanted to be a member of."

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Club? Anong klaseng club?"

Hindi niya ako kaagad sinagot. Pinauna niya akong pumasok sa kuwarto ng private jet at pagkatapos ay kinuha niya ang nakasabit sa door knob niyon sa loob bago niya iyon inilagay sa labas. It's a "Do not disturb" sign.

When he closed the door and turned to me, a playful smile spread on his lips. "The mile high club."

Napalunok ako kasabay nang pag-iinit ng magkabila kong pisngi. When he took a step towards me, I panicked and remembered something that I had almost forgotten. "Wait."

Umiling siya at hinapit niya ako palapit sa kaniya. "I was already done waiting the moment I saw you at the other end of the aisle."

Natatawang kumawala ako sa kaniya nang maramdaman ko na lumapat ang labi niya sa leeg ko. Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mga mata. "I said wait. Don't ruin the surprise."

He looked at me suspiciously. "So you were really hiding something earlier."

I just wrinkled my nose at him as an answer, and then I hurriedly turned around to grab my suitcase. Mabilis na binuksan ko iyon at may kinuha roon bago ako pumasok sa maliit na bathroom at ni-lock ko iyon bago pa niya ako maisipang pasukin.

I freshened up, slipped into the "thing" that I bought a month ago, and then I put my going-away dress back on. Nang matapos ay lumabas na ako ng bathroom.

Naabutan ko si Coal na kasalukuyang nakahiga sa kama at nakaunan sa mga kamay niyang nasa likod ng ulo niya. He was looking at the jet's ceiling, but when he heard the door open, his eyes went to me.

He looked confused for a moment. Wala naman kasing nabago sa suot ko. I'm still wearing the simple midi dress with peasant sleeves that I changed into before we left the reception.

Lumapit ako sa suitcase ko at ibinalik ko ang kinuha ko roon bago ko inabot ang cellphone ko mula sa shoulder bag ko. I took out my phone, went to my music streaming app, and played Dive by Victoria Monét.

I'm a little nervous, but that's already a given. It's not like I've done anything close to this. "I think I owe you a dance for agreeing to go to Vegas with me."

His gaze dropped to my hand when I reached for the ribbon on my front and pulled on it. "You don't owe me anything, baby, but I'm not going to stop you."

Here goes nothing.

Inabot ko ang puting hair clamp na binigay sa akin ni Mireia kanina nang nakapagpalit na ako ng damit at inalis ko iyon. I shook my head, letting the tendrils fall on my back.

I started making small swaying movements. Wala akong career bilang stripper at wala rin akong balak. I've been to different beach parties, and I know how to dance, but I'm not the best dancer out there.

I unconsciously bit my lower lip, a sign of my nervousness, as I pulled down the dress, letting it slowly glide down my body.

I squealed when Coal suddenly knifed up from the bed and pulled me in his direction, making me topple and fall on top of him. Hindi ko na siya kailangan pang tanungin kung nagustuhan niya ang nasa ilalim ng bestida na suot ko kanina. The way he looks at me like he wants to devour me already tells me the answer to that question.

I'm wearing matching white lace lingerie. There's a suspender belt wrapped around my navel that has straps attached to the white stockings I'm wearing.

I put a hand on his chest, and I gently pushed him so that he could lay down on the bed. "No touching the dancer, Mr. Dawson."

His eyes flashed with heat when I straddled him and ran my hands over both of my stocking-clad legs. Pinagapang ko ang mga iyon pataas. I made a path, grazing my breasts for one quick second, which made the burning in Coal's gaze flame up more.

Without looking away from him, I grind myself down. An involuntary moan fell from my lips when I felt his hardness touch the thin material I was wearing.

"Baby," he murmured.

"Patience."

Hinawakan ko siya sa magkabilang balikat at marahang pinadaanan ko ang malapad na dibdib niya. I slowly unbottoned his shirt, and when I was halfway there, I bent down so that I could place a kiss on top of his heart. I flicked out my tongue, and I created a trail of wetness down his hard stomach, following the movements of my hands that still have a few buttons left to undo.

Nang tuluyan siyang makakawala sa suot na pang-itaas ay dumiretso ako ng pagkakaupo sa ibabaw niya. I unbuckled his belt, and before he could move, I slipped my hands inside his trousers, unceremoniously going for his erection.

Napakagat ako sa ibabang labi ko nang maramdaman ko ang kamay niya sa pagitan ng mga hita ko. I tried to stop him, but when a growl rumbled from his chest, I gave in, knowing that he was at his limit. He wasn't lying when he said that he was done waiting hours ago. And he wasn't the only one.

His fingers found the wetness of my centre, and he made another sound when he realize that I was wearing crotchless underwear.

Coal's breath fanned the side of my face. "I love my surprise."

"This wasn't it," I rasped out. "It's not the only one."

His mouth opened as if to ask, but I beat him to it when I pulled my hand that was cupping him, and I took his to place it on my side. Right on top of my ribs.

It wasn't hard to miss, even though it wasn't that big. Pero dahil tutok na tutok siya sa suot ko ay hindi na ako nagtataka kung bakit hindi niya iyon kaagad napansin kanina.

"What..."

"I thought it was only fair," I told him. "Since you had my name inked on you."

I just had it done yesterday. May kakilala si Lia na willing na puntahan kami. But the design of the tattoo itself was something that I asked someone to make for me before we even went to Vegas. Hindi ko naman kasi iyon pwedeng ipalagay agad dahil alam ko na imposibleng maitago ko iyon sa kaniya. Isa pa ay sa ribs ang napili kong posisyon niyon.

It was a Dagger surrounded by a swirl of water. Coal's name could be seen integrated on the blade of the knife.

"Lia's tattoo artist gave me a waterproof bandage to cover it while we're on our honeymoon since hindi ko siya pwedeng ibabad ng matagal sa tubig." Nangingiting pinadaanan ko ng hintuturo ang parte ng dibdib niya kung saan kita ang pangalan ko. "I would have done it weeks ago if I didn't know that there's no way you wouldn't have seen it. It was impossible since I couldn't stop being naked in front of you and you can't stop making sure that you have a reason to keep me naked."

His grin was enough proof of his agreement with my words. Hinapit niya ako palapit sa katawan niya at naramdaman ko ang mga labi niya sa gilid ng leeg ko.

His hands went back to the heat between my legs, and he gently pushed a digit in that eased in inside of me without problem with how slick I was. "I love this. I love it so much that you should have an entire closet full of clothes like this." He nipped the side of my neck, and I let out a gasp in response. "And I love the tattoo even more. So much more that I'm going to show you how much I appreciate it."

Impit na napatili ako nang sa isang iglap ay nagawa niyang pagpalitin ang posisyon namin. This time, it was he who was on top of me. He pushed my legs up, and he put himself in between them, his straining bulge doing wonders on the spot that it was touching.

He leaned down, claiming my lips briefly in the sweetest, most intense kiss known to mankind. He didn't make it last long, even though he could, because I know he has other plans for me.

He rained tiny kisses all the way down the valley of my breast, giving one hard peak a playful graze, before blowing air on my belly button, making my back arch from the bed. His movements were unhurried... teasing.

The sight of him in the middle of my parted legs, ready to worship me the way he always does, is something that I never get tired of seeing. Coal spread my swollen, damp core with his fingers, circling his thumb on my tender nub. A small whimper escaped my lips when I felt his tongue stroke my wetness. But it was just the beginning.

It wasn't long before I was writhing underneath him as he moved his tongue on a rhythm that he only knew how to follow. As if it wasn't enough, he pushed a single finger inside me while his mouth continued on its ministrations.

My legs clenched around him as my body erupted with pleasure. It felt like my skin was zinging with undeniable heat, unfurling like wildfire on every part of me that he touched.

With pleasure still swirling around me, Coal straightened and started unbuckling his belt. I watched his movements, and need started to build inside me again when he pulled himself out of his trousers. He fisted his own hard rod for a few seconds, his eyes looking at me hungrily, and then he pulled me up so that I could straddle his lap.

I couldn't help but moan when I felt the hard head of his rod nudge my entrance. With one arm wrapped around my waist while the other was on his length, he pressed his cock against my center, sheathing himself fully inside me.

Umalps ang mumunting ingay mula sa mga labi ko kasabay nang mahigpit na pagkapit ko sa mga balikat niya. Sitting on the bed with me on top of him gave him enough leverage to pull me up until only the tip of his cock was inside me, then impaling me again until I could feel him in the deepest part of me.

"You... you didn't let me finish my very amateur stripper dance," I breathed. "I didn't even have the chance to undress."

Pinagapang niya sa gilid ko ang isa niyang kamay at bago pa ako makahuman ay hinila niya pababa ang isang triangulo ng suot ko na pang-itaas. I cried out when his head bent and he suckled my breast. "Are you complaining?" he asked when he pulled back, nipping the skin on the side of one globe. When I just moaned in response to his question, I felt his lips curve into a smile. "Later. I wanted to make you come on my cock while you're wearing this," he said, pulling the strap of my bra, and then he let it go so that it would snap back to me. The small sting didn't hurt; instead, it added more to the sensation that was starting to get bigger and bigger inside me.

Ibinalik niya ang mga kamay niya sa beywang ko at tinulungan niya akong magtaas-baa sa ibabaw niya. I bounce myself on his cock until the sound of our bodies colliding creates a delicious melody.

I clung to his shoulder when I felt the building pressure inside me near the edge. My movements on top of him became hurried at the same time that the way he thrust up to meet my downward glide increased in pace.

I throw my head back and moan when sensations tear out of me. Coal wasn't far because I felt his hands holding me tighten, and a grunt echoed out of him. Ramdam ko ang pagsabog ng init sa kaloob-looban ko at kasabay niyon ang pagsakop ng mga labi ni Coal sa akin.

Still out of breath, I let my weight fall on him, and I buried my face in his neck. I felt him kiss the side of my head while his palm made a comforting motion on my back.

"Now we're full pledge members of the Mile High Club, wife, " he murmured.

Wife. It didn't feel real the first time, and even now it feels like a dream. But I have time to get used to it. A lot of it.

"Maybe we should re-apply. Just in case the first one didn't work," I said coyly.

He playfully kissed the tip of my nose. "Yeah. We certainly should."

I WAS DOZING when I felt a light kiss on my shoulder. Itinaas ko ang sunglasses na suot ko at nag-angat ako ng mukha. I was currently lying on my stomach on a sunbathing lounger by the lagoon, when normally I would have been frolicking in the water.

We arrived here in Tahiti three days ago. For three days, Coal and I only saw the resort through the window of our private motu suite overwater bungalow because we hadn't stepped foot outside since we arrived. Puro room service din kami. For three days, it's like we're both contenders for a fuckathon competition.

I thought Coal and I already knew our fair share of what to do in the bedroom, but it turns out there's more to discover. It was a blissful three days. Exhausting, but totally worth it.

"Want to go back to our room so you can rest?"

I ran my eyes down Coal's dripping body. He was still swimming when I told him that I wanted to lie down. "As if I could rest in our room. Eh doon nga ako mas napagod."

He chuckled under his breath, and he bent down again to kiss me. This time, though, it was on the lips. "Promise, I'll behave."

"Yeah, right." I turned on my front so that I was lying on my back. "I'm fine here. I just napped a little."

Umabot siya ng towel at pinanood ko siya habang pinupunasan ang katawan niya. Buti na lang hindi ko na kailangan pangarapin maging tuwalya. I can rub up and down on his body, and I know he wouldn't mind.

"Do you want something to eat?" he asked as he brushed his hair up with his fingers.

You. Ipinilig ko ang ulo ko. I'm as bad as him. "I want Po'e," I told him, referring to the creamy pudding topped with coconut milk dessert that is popular here in Tahiti.

"I'll get you some."

He turned to leave, and like the deviant that I am slowly becoming because my husband is one, I watched his glistening, ripped body as he walked away. It's safe to say that I wasn't the only one watching him like he was some kind of dessert that they'd rather have.

I was on that thought when someone blocked my vision. May palapit kasi na babae na mukhang may kausap sa cellphone niya. Her face looks red, but I don't think it's because of the sun but rather out of anger at the person she's talking to.

People said that it's rude to stare, but I couldn't help but do exactly that. It's because the woman wearing a modest pastel pink one-piece suit who is walking in my direction looks like the child of a goddess and an angel.

She's probably about 5'4 in height, and she has the fairest skin I've ever seen. She's even paler than Lucienne. She has these beautiful eyes that I don't know if it's a unique shade of brown or if it's hazel, long wavy dark hair, natural pink lips and cheeks, and bone structure that tells me that she's probably Ukrainian.

"Mom, I told you that it isn't necessary. I'm here for a vacation. I don't need you forcing the management of this resort to display my face here and tell everyone that I'm a prima ballerina. Why would anyone care? The ballet show will take place in the Philippines, mother, and you know that because we've been living there for the past year."

Huminto ang babae at mariing pumikit na para bang gusto niyang sumigaw. After awhile, it's like she gave up, and she just keeps repeating a word that I didn't understand but probably means "yes" or "okay" in her language.

"I'm not," she said through a sigh. "Yes, mother. I'm watching what I eat."

When she took the phone from her ear and spoke with no one in particular, to say that she shocked me is an understatement. I wasn't surprised by her words, but rather by the language she used to say them.

"Bakit ako?" She looked up in the sky. "I just need a freaking break."

Nagbawi ako nang tingin nang kumilos siya para muling maglakad. Patagong sinundan ko na lang siya ng tingin. I saw her grab her things that she left on the lounger on the opposite side of where I was before leaving.

When she was out of sight, I reached for my phone and typed "Prima Ballerina Philippines" in my browser. I'm officially a Dawson. Na-a-apply ko na rin sa buhay ko ang maretisism principles ni Lucienne.

"Wow," I whispered.

Hindi siya mahirap hanapin. There are a lot of articles written about her. Tiara Millicent Silvano. I was right that she's Ukrainian. According to the articles, she was born there but surprisingly even though her Ukranian blood appear to be dominant physically, she grew up being expose to multiple cultures.

Her surname was Italian because her mother was adopted by a Ukranian-Italian man who is married to a Filipina. Kaya siguro magaling siyang managalog. They all lived in Ukraine until Tiara and her mother went to the Philippines last year. She's 25 years old, a prima ballerina, and recognized to be one of the most beautiful and highly talented ballerinas in the world.

"Baby?" Ng-angat ako ng tingin at nabungaran ko si Coal na may dalang bowl ng pagkain na may dalawang kutsara. Bahagyang kumunot ang noo niya nang mapatingin siya sa cellphone ko kung saan kanina ay tutok na tutok ako. "Everything okay? May problema ba kay Kaise?"

Umiling ako. "No, no. She's okay."

Umupo siya sa lounge chair na nasa tabi ng sa akin at inabot niya sa akin ang pagkain. I straightened into a sitting position and took a mouthful of the Po'e.

"Coal?"

He took a bite of the food and met my eyes. "Hmm?"

"Have you seen a beautiful woman who looks like a goddess come from the direction you came from?"

"Wala naman akong napansin," magkasalubong ang kilay na sabi niya. The expression on his face turned teasing. "Pero ngayon meron na."

I rolled my eyes. Of course, he would say that. He's my Saint Coal.

"Why?" he asked.

I shrugged and didn't answer his question. "Sa tingin mo kapag bumili ako ng tickets para sa ballet show, sasamahan ako ni Domino na manood?"

Naningkit ang mga mata niya. "Bakit kailangan na siya ang sumama kung pwede naman na ako?"

Seloso talaga kahit kailan. "Fine. Sa tingin mo manonood siya ng ballet kung kasama tayo?"

He thought about it for a moment. "Maybe? I don't think he would enjoy it. He's really not the kind that will watch a ballet show."

"Eh kung nakabili na tayo ng tickets tapos bibigyan natin siya pero biglang sasabihin natin last minute na hindi na tayo matutuloy? Manonood kaya siya na mag-isa?"

"Only if we guilt-trip him." Coal's eyes turned suspicious. "Why are you asking me all these things?"

He grew more dubious when I beamed at him sweetly. "I think I found the right "dancer" that would be perfect for your brother." Naghahamon na iginalaw-galaw ko ang mga kilay ko. "What do you think of working with fate a little to see where it will lead Domino?"

Ilang sandali na nakatitig lang siya sa akin na para bang pinoproseso niya ang sinabi ko. After a few moments, a grin spread across his face. "Deal." Napahagikhik ako nang dumukwang siya at sa isang kisap ng mga mata ay natagpuan ko ang sarili ko sa kandungan niya. I couldn't fight him off, not when I held on to the bowl I was holding tightly so its contents wouldn't spill over. "Now let's stop talking about other people's love lives and focus on our own."

"What should we talk about then?"

"Hmm... maybe we can talk about what I plan to do to you once we get back to our room?"

I rolled my eyes. "You're such an insatiable hornball."

Nakangising sinubsob niya ang mukha niya sa leeg ko. I almost jumped out of his lap when I felt his teeth on the sensitive skin of my neck.

"I'm your hornball."

Niyakap ko ang isa kong braso sa balikat niya. I tangled my fingers at the hair on the back of his head and said, "Yes you are. You're daddy shark, my hornball, deviant, ogre, Saint Coal, and my husband."

"Yours," he murmured.

"The same way that I am yours."

His eyes burned more brightly than the sun above us. Already half-expecting his next move, he stood up with me still in his arms.

"That's it, we're going back," he said definitively.

My laughter echoed around us, but what I did not do was stop him. Why would I when I want the same thing? After all... I was precisely created to be perfect for him. The perfect two.

Made for him.

Circe and Coal's honeymoon destination.
