This part of the story is told through Frank's perspective/point-of-view (POV).

I smiled upon seeing my beautiful wife...I mean, not yet but in a few moments. Actually, beautiful is an understatement. She looks regal like a queen, and immaculate like an angel. I couldn't fathom the exact description, but she's just a breathtaking combination of everything.

She's walking down the aisle in her elegant wedding dress, which is a statement of how conservative and pure she is. Of all the dresses presented to her, she picked the one with the least details and with long sheer sleeves.

Up until now, I'm still in awe that she accepeted my wedding proposal three months ago in Siargao. I thought she'll propose too, for us to be in a relationship first, like for a year or two maybe. I'm willing to oblige if in case she will. But no, she didn't.

Right after that day, we started preparing for the wedding - that's how excited I am. And she willingly participated without any trace of doubt.

I reached for her hand noong nasa harap ko na siya. Shit, what a goddess.

Welp. Sorry, for cursing inside the church, Lord.

I whispered on her ear, "Puwede bang mag-kiss na sa simula?"

Natawa siya nang mahina, then she leaned closer to me and whispered her answer, "Mamaya pa 'yon. 'Pag patapos na."

Bumulong ulit ako sa kanya, "Ibahin natin 'yong sa 'tin. May beginning kiss at ending kiss."

She pinched my arm. "Puro ka talaga kalokohan."

Kung hindi pa nag-"ehem!" ang pari sa harap namin, baka hindi pa kami natapos sa pag-uusap. Parang hinihintay niya nga lang kami huminto, hanggang sa hindi na yata siya naka-tiis.

Nagsimula na ang seremonya. I don't know why but I'm feeling nervous, maybe, this is what they call wedding jitters.

While the priest is transitioning to introduce Chanel, one of my wife's closest friends to do the reading, I leaned close to her again and asked, "Baby, 'pag may bigla bang sumigaw na "itigil ang kasalan!", hindi na talaga itutuloy 'yon?"

"Huh?" She worriedly looked at me. "W-wala naman sigurong magpapahinto."

"Kinakabahan kasi ako," pag-amin ko sa kanya.

She smiled and carefully caressed my jawline. "Hala ka. Relax lang. Kung ano-ano na iniisip mo."

I caught her hand on my face and gently kissed the back of it. "Nakaka-praning pala 'to."

She laughed softly. Again, the priest has to clear his throat loudly to get our attention. Iniisip niya siguro na kami lang yata ang ikinasal niya na walang ginawa kundi magbulungan in the midst of the ceremony.

"Frank and Florence, since it is your intention to enter into the covenant of the Holy Matrimony, join your right hands, and join declare your consent before God and his church," the priest ordered.

But instead of holding just her right hand, I held both instead. "I, Franco Luis Miguel, and please don't mind my three names, am not allowed to say just my nickname."

I heard the people around us laugh, but it's true. It's part of the church's script to say the full name in the wedding vows. But I suddenly thought that moment to not abide by it completely. Bahala nang ma-sermonan ni Father.

I continued, "I take you, my beloved Florence, to be my wife. I have always believed that we will end up together, and I cling on to that belief no matter how impossible it might seem to happen, given the previous circumstances."

I saw her eyes turned teary, and I myself is the same. Akala ko ka-corny-han lang iyong mga umiiyak na lalaki sa mga kasalan. But darn it, you really will never know until you're in the same shoes.

"I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad...but actually, no. I won't let you experience the bad times anymore, because you've been through a lot of hardships and struggles in your life. You deserve to live a life filled with love, joy, and comfort, from this moment and for the rest of your existence."

I let go one of her hand to reach out for her cheek. I wiped her rolling tears with my thumb. "I promise to be with you in sickness and in health, until we're grey and old. My love for you goes beyond all the physical attributes."

"You are my greatest love, Florence, and I am destined to be yours forever. I will love and honor you, my lovely wife." I smiled, staring at her face. "Until my very last breath."

I know that she is not prepared that I deviated from the usual vows. But I feel like this is the proper time to let her know everything that I have just said. If she goes by the traditional one, it is okay with me.

The ceremony went from exchanging of wedding vows, wedding rings and all other stuff. Until it is time for the priest to declare us husband and wife.

"Let no one put asunder those who have been joined together today in the presence of the Almighty God. You may now kiss the bride."

It felt like that the gates of heaven had opened up for me upon hearing the last sentence.

I have never been this exhilarated to kiss a woman. Ever. I turned to her and removed the veil that covers her angelic face.

"You're finally mine, Baby." Damn. I can't even hide the excitement in my voice. I gently cupped her face with one hand, and the side of her neck with my other hand. Slowly, I crossed the distance between our faces.

I felt his hands held onto both sides of my waist as she closed her eyes. Her lips were delicately soft against mine. Sweet. Intoxicating. If only we're not inside the church, I would have devour her lips for a savage kiss right there and then.

But really, I have never felt this way before. I heard the crowd cheering as I savor our very first kiss. Not just as a husband and wife, but as a couple.

I remember, when I attempted to kiss her for the first time, she literally frozed with her eyes wide open, until she said, "Frank...kasi, hindi ako m-marunong."

I stopped and stared at her in disbelief. I did not expect that from a 30-year old woman, plus the fact that I know that she's been in a relationship before.

"You never did it...I mean, with your previous?" Ako pa talaga ang nagkanda-bulol nang tanungin iyon. Parang ako ang nahiya dahil mapangahas ako.

She shook her head. "K-kasi ano, ang promise sa akin noon ni...sasabihin ko ba 'yong pangalan? Puwede ko ba 'tong sabihin sa 'yo? 'Di ka ba magagalit?"

"Ni Maui?" Ako na ang nagtuloy. The innocence in her questions just really blew my mind.

Tumango siya. "Sabi niya noon, on the day of our wedding, do'n lang kami, alam mo na, magki-kiss. Kaya never kaming...'yon."

"Damn. That conservativeness is on another level!" Hindi talaga ako makapaniwala. Pero nakaramdam ako ng insecurity noon. Itinago ko lang. Ganoon nga yata talaga ka-taas ang pag-galang sa kanya ng pinsan ko, at kaya naman lalong nahulog itong wifey ko sa kanya.

Pero, noon iyon.

"Fine, I'll also do the same," I declared. If that's what it takes to make her love me even more, then I am very willing to wait.

***

"Damn, woman."

Itinodo ko na sa pinaka-malamig ang tubig sa shower. Kanina pa talaga nag-iinit ang katawan ko. God forbid, sa simbahan pa talaga ito. Sumunod pa naman ay ang napakahabang reception program.

When we arrived here in the penthouse after the wedding, I saw it in Florence's face that she's really shy and nervous at the same time. So as much as I wanted to join her in the shower, pinauna ko na. At least to help her ease a bit.

The problem is, her natural feminine scent combined with the fragrance of the soap she used remained here in the four corners of the shower room. It's really getting into my system. Now, I got scenarios in my head making hot, passionate love with my wife in this very place.

I only wore my boxer briefs after taking a bath. When I went out of the bathroom, I saw my wife sitting on the chair beside the coffee table, facing the glass panels. She may be staring at the night sky and the city lights. A bathrobe is wrapping her body and her hair is slightly dripping wet.

I bent down behind her back and encircled my arms around her shoulders

"Tapos ka na pala." I can sense a little tremble in her voice, but she clinged on to my arms by holding them with both hands.

"Yeah..." I started to trace small, wet kisses on the side of her neck up to her ear. I know I need to take it slowly and be patient because my wife is inexperienced.

"Baby, I have another vow that I can't say inside the church earlier." I gently sucked a little part of her earlobe. "But let me tell it to you now."

"A-ano 'yon?" She tried to turned to me so I kissed her cheek.

"I promise, that from this day onwards, my soldier will never salute to any other woman, but you," I whispered on her ear.

"Soldier?" she repeated.

I chuckled. Mukhang hindi na naman niya na-gets. My innocent wife.

I walked towards where she is facing. Tumingala siya para tingnan ako, at halatang umiiwas din siya na mapatingin sa lower part ng katawan ko.

I took her hand and slowly glided it to my abdomen, down to my navel, without losing my eye contact with her. And down to my manhood where I stopped and pinned her hand.

"My soldier will always be loyal to you, Wifey. He's all yours," I said. "And you can take him all in."

I saw her doll eyes widen, and her lips parted. That shocked reaction is as sexy as fuck.

I knelt in one knee on the carpeted floor, like a slave to my queen. I put her foot on my shoulder and started trailing kisses on her dorsal and up to her ankle.

"N-nahihiya ako, Frank. 'Wag mo 'ko halikan diyan..." saway niya sa akin.

"But I wanna worship every inch of you, Baby." I continued planting kisses to her leg, her knees, while slowly rolling her robe up. I felt her gasped a little when I kissed her inner thigh. I glided the tip of my tongue onto her silky skin and a shy, little moan went out of her mouth. I stopped and rested my chin on top of her leg.

"What are you wearing inside, hmmm?" I teased her while caressing her other leg.

"S-suot ko? Sa loob nito?" para bang natataranta niyang sagot habang hawak ang neckline ng suot niyang robe.

"Yeah." Naaaliw akong tingnan siya. How the hell could she be a cutie and sexy at the same time?

Yumuko siya at nahihiyang umamin, "P-panty lang."

"Really?" I caressed both her legs up until I reached the garter of her undergarment, then I slowly pulled it down.

"Oh..." she gasped when she saw me holding her white lace panty. Hindi siya makatingin sa akin sa sobrang hiya kaya umangat ako mula sa pagkakaluhod para magpantay ang mga mukha namin.

I cupped the side of her neck with my one hand as I claim her luscious lips for our very first real kiss. For a moment, she was really unsure of what to do. Her lips were quivering under mine.

"Baby, move your lips, please..." I instructed her in between kisses. "Imitate what I'm doing."

I kissed her with all my might, savoring the sweetness of her supple lips. When I eventually felt her responding with equal fervor, I kissed her even harder and played with her delectable tongue, until I felt that she's grasping for air.

I started trailing wet kisses down her neck until she asked, "H-hindi ka ba nahihirapan?"

"Saan?" I asked while giving little playful bites on her shoulder.

"Sa...sa posisyon mo." I felt her warm palm on my back.

Tumigil ako sa ginagawa ko at doon ko nga lang din napansin na nakatukod sa arm rest ng upuan ang isang kamay ko, and my other knee is on the seat itself, beside her thigh.

"Is that your way of telling me that we should go to bed?" I intentionally asked in a seductive tone.

"Ah...iniisip ko lang kasi..."

I didn't let her finish by kissing her thoroughly once more, and with our lips still locked, I lifted her from the seat. I held both her legs and wrapped them around my waist. She encircled her arms around my neck.

I lied her on the bed and started untying her robe. Can't help but lick my lips upon seeing her virgin breasts and its pink crowns. Damn.

She crossed her arms to cover it. "'W-wag mo nang titigan, nahihiya ako."

I lovingly removed her arms. "You have nothing to be ashamed of. You're perfect, Baby."

I pinned her hands above her head and teased her by slowly encircling my tongue on one of it's peak.

"Ughh..." she let out a soft moan upon the touch of my tongue.

"Moan it loudly, Baby." I looked at her while I'm trailing the tip of my tongue across the valley between her breasts. Her eyes were closed and she's biting her lower lip, maybe to control herself to make noises, given how shy she is.

"Would love to hear you." I enclosed her other nip inside my mouth.

I alternately devoured her crowns until they are swollen. Her moans are becoming more audible and all the more it gives me the fuel to pleasure her.

I let go of her hands and held her by her curvacious waist as I kiss her abdomen. What a divine body. So fucking tempting.

"T-teka lang...para akong maiihi," nag-alala siya nang sabihin iyon. He even held my head to stop me.

I suddenly paused and looked up at her. Nakatingin din pala siya sa akin.

"B-baka magkalat ako," sabi pa niya.

I chuckled. Napaka-inosente talaga. "It's not pee, Baby. Just let it flow."

"H-ha?" Gulat pa rin siya.

Imbes na sagutin pa siya ay ipinagpatuloy ko na ang ginagawa ko. I rolled her legs up and opened them wide. They were already shaking.

"H-hahalikan mo rin 'yang...'yang ano ko?" Nanlalaki ang mga mata niya sa pagkakatitig sa akin. "K-kasama talaga 'yan?"

Gusto ko talagang matawa sa reaksiyon niya, but she might feel offended. I don't want her to feel that way just because she's inexperienced. "But of course, this is the best part, Baby."

"P-para kasing ano..." Hindi niya alam ang sasabihin.

"Ano?" I smiled encouragingly to let her know that it's okay to open up.

"M-may lumabas...na sa akin." She bit her lower lip and avoided my stare.

"Then let me taste it." I started to swirl my tongue on her core.

"Huh? Teka...uhhh..." Her moans filled the room like music to my ears. "Ugghhh..."

"You taste so sweet, Baby." I licked her folds. "Hmmm...so juicy."

She is almost grabbing my hair now, her toes curling, and her hips slightly elevating from the bed.

"Frank..." Her legs started shaking once more until she released her juices. "Ooohh..."

"Fuck. Ughh...you're so delectable, Baby." I flicked my tongue to relish every drop of her. And everytime I say something, she answers me with her lovely moan.

I knelt on the bed in between her legs and removed the last piece of clothing from my body. "Ready, Baby?"

A stricken expression was on her face. "M-magkakasya ba talaga 'yan?"

Doon na talaga ako natawa. I planted a quick kiss on her lips. "That's the magic of it."

"Hindi ako mamamatay?" Her doll eyes stared widely at me.

"You won't." I teasingly encircled my index finger on her nip. "But it could take you to heaven without the need to die."

"Hala...ooohh..." She was about to say something but I started rubbing my finger gently in her sweet spot, so she ended up moaning.

"Come on my fingers, baby." I slid one inside her.

"M-masakit..." she complained.

"It's just on the onset," I consoled her as I started sucking her teat again, while my other hand is gently massaging her other breast.

"Ugghh...Frank..." she called me out. Her core starting to get my finger sticky, so I moved it a little faster until she came again.

I sucked my finger coated with her juices, and licked the other ones while looking at her intently. "This is how fucking addicting you are."

She looked at me with amazement in her eyes, and desire, and love.

"Baby..." I positioned myself on top of her and slowly rubbed my shaft on her core. She's still wet from her recent orgasm but she's really tight. "My virgin wife."

"Aww...oh..." I knew she felt pain when I started to thrust. She held on my shoulder so tightly, so I cradled her inside my arms and repeatedly placed soft kisses on her lips, until I found my way inside her. She winced of pain even more. Tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

"Ssshh...Baby. It's gonna be okay."

She bit her lower lip in pleasure and in pain.

I moved deeper into her, making sure I hit the G. She was now moving her hips to meet every thrust without inhibitions.

"More, Baby..." I groaned. The pain in her face earlier was now replaced with the look of pleasure. Kahit naman ako ay sarap na sarap din sa loob niya. The way her feminine core encircles my manhood tightly gives me a feeling of ecstasy that I have never felt before. "Grind that for me."

She willingly obliged. Oh, shit! She's in the right rhytmn now. My little tease. My desirable wife.

"I'm coming, I'm near..." I moved faster. I felt she's about to come too.

"Oh, fuck. Baby!" I almost screamed when both our releases met inside her. Satisfied is an understatement. Making love with her is definitely ecstatic. It's out of this world.

"Oh, my God. I love you." I dropped my body on her top, while my manhood is still throbbing inside her.

She hugged me tightly and burrowed her face on my shoulder. "I love you too."

I looked into her eyes and smiled. She's way beyond lovely in her afterglow.

She asked me, "N-nasiyahan ka ba? Okay lang ba ako? Sorry kung hindi ako marunong."

Natawa naman tuloy ako. This woman really asks the purest of questions. "You want a performance review?"

She chuckled and jokingly answered, "Yes, Sir."

"Hmmm...you're so fucking delicious that I want more and more of you." I felt my manhood tighten again inside her. "Until you're sore."

I started moving on top of her. "Take me again, baby girl."

She moaned in pleasure as a response.

And we spent the rest of the night making love over and over again.
