Kirsten opened her eyes for a start. Nagising siya nang may maramdamang malamig na bagay na dumadampi sa kaniyang pisngi. It wasn't the AC system, for sure, because she'd never opened it when she went to bed. Bukas ang lamp sa silid at sa pamamagitan niyon ay inikot niya ng tingin ang paligid; only to eventually realize that it was drops of rain that hit her face.

Mula sa nakabukas na bintana ay pumapasok ang ambon at tumatama sa kaniyang mukha. Kaya pala walang bituin sa langit kagabi; may nagbabadya palang pag-ulan. Bumangon siya, tumayo at nilapitan ang bintana upang isara. Matapos iyon ay pumasok siya sa banyo upang maghilamos.

Ilang sandali pa'y nilapitan niya ang cellphone sa bedside table at tiningnan ang oras; 4:00AM. Matutulog pa siya, kaya muli siyang nahiga sa kama at niyakap ang unan ni Quaro.

Oh, she missed him. Kahit isang araw pa lang silang hindi nagkikita ay parang isang taon na ang nagdaan para sa kaniya. Kaya naman hindi niya napigilan ang sarili kagabi; she did something she had never done before—touch her own, damn self.

And she liked it. She looked forward to doing it again—with him.

Gosh, she had become a wanton since Quaro entered—literally and figuratively—her system.

Pero noong isang gabi ay totoong nasaktan siya sa sinabi nito kaya umiwas muna siya upang mag-isip-isip ng gagawin niya sa buhay pagkatapos ng isang daang araw na agreement nila. She couldn't go back to where she came from. Or she might, but she still wouldn't do what the person back there wanted her to do.

"You won't be permanently part of my life, anyway..."

Napa-buntong hininga siya nang muling pumasok sa isip ang mga sinabing iyon ni Quaro noong isang gabi.

Totoong pinigilan niya ang sariling umasa ng kahit anong milagro sa pagitan nilang dalawa, pero siyempre ay hindi rin niya maiwasang isipin na magbabago ang pakikisama ni Quaro sa kaniya at magkaroon sila ng pag-asa. Baka baguhin nito ang agreement nila, at baka mag-umpisa itong tratuhin siyang...

Huminga siya ng malalim.

What was she thinking?

Alam na niya—umpisa pa lang—kung ano ang pinasok niya. Bakit siya nag-iisip at umaasa ng ganito?

But then, she also answered her own question; because I am falling, deeply in love with him.

Noong nakaraang gabi ay sumama ang loob niya na napili niyang doon muna sa theater room magpalipas ng buong magdamag. Pero nagising siyang nasa tabi na nito kinaumagahan. Ang sama ng loob ay bahagyang nabawasan, pero ayaw niyang makita itong umalis para bisitahin ang ina sa araw na iyon kaya umalis muna siya at pumunta sa university na bukas sa mga estudyante kahit weekend. Pinalabas niyang umuwi siya sa bayan nila, pero kinagabihan ay bumalik din siya sa shop at nagmukmok doon.

Normally, dalawang araw at isang gabi lang wala si Quaro, pero dahil holiday rin at walang estudyante ay baka hindi ito magbukas ng shop at habaan ang araw na manatili ito sa bahay ng ina.

She didn't expect him to call. At nang tumawag ito ay tuluyang nawala ang kung anumang tampo na naramdman niya rito noong gabing iyon. She decided to stick to their agreement. Whatever happens, happens. She'd just cross the bridge when she got there.

Hinigpitan niya ang pagkakayakap sa unan saka ipinikit ang mga mata; subalit anong bilis din ng pagmulat niya nang may marinig na kalabog sa ibaba. She turned to the window thinking it was just the sound of thunder. Subalit walang kidlat o kulog siyang nakikita at naririnig mula sa salaming bintana.

Muli siyang nakarinig ng kalabog—at ngayon ay sigurado siyang nanggaling na iyon sa kusina sa baba. Tila may nabanggang kagamitan.

Bigla siyang kinabahan. Hinila niya ang makapal na kumot at nagtakip hanggang leeg. May tao ba sa ibaba? Imposibleng si Quaro iyon dahil alam niyang bukas pa ang uwi nito.

Hindi niya maalala kung naka-lock ang pinto ng silid—kung may ibang tao sa baba ay nasa kapahamakan siya.

Sa nanginginig na kamay ay kinuha niya ang cellphone sa gilid ng kama at dinala sa ilalim ng kumot. She dialled Quaro's number—kahit ito man lang ay makaalam ng mangyayari sa kaniya sa umagang iyon.

Later on, Quaro's phone rang on the other side of the line—and so did another ringtone downstairs.

Nanlaki ang mga mata niya—bumangon at naupo sa kama habang ang mga mata'y nakatutok sa pinto ng silid. Patuloy ang pag-ring sa kabilang linya at ang ringtone na naririnig niya'y... palapit nang palapit.

Was it...

She held her breath when the doorknob turned.

Then, the door opened and that's when the wet and sticky Quaro emerged from it.

Nagulat pa ito nang makita siyang nakaupo sa kama at nanlalaki ang mga matang nakatitig sa direksyon nito.

Sandali lang ang pagkagulat niya, subalit nang tuluyang rumehistro sa isip na totoong naroon ito at nakatayo sa may pintuan ay mabilis siyang bumangon at halos liparin ang espasyo sa pagitan nilang dalawa.

Si Quaro, na kaagad na ibinagsak ang bitbit na back pack sa sahig, ay sinalubong siya. At tulad ng madalas niyang gawin ay patalon siyang yumakap dito; curling her legs around his hips and her hands on his neck.

"Inabutan ako ng ulan," he said, scooping her in his arms. "I'm soaked."

"Me, too," she said before bending her head and giving him a quick, but deep kiss. Naramdaman niya ang pag-ngiti nito kaya humiwalay siya.

"Still soaked?" he asked, gripping her bottom.

"Always for you."

That's when his face hardened in passion. Habang hawak-hawak siya nito'y naglakad si Quaro patungo sa kama at inihiga siya. Clothes still soaked from rain, he went on top of her and stared straight into her eyes.

"I rushed back here after what you did on the phone."

She chuckled, eyes dazzled in delight. She lifted her hands and curled them around his neck. "Nagustuhan mo ba?"

"Nagustuhan? Para akong gago na nakaupo sa veranda namin at nagtitimpi habang pinakikinggan ka, you little, sneaky viper."

She chuckled again. Ang basang jacket at pantalon ni Quaro ay dumidikit sa kaniya kaya ang suot niyang puting T-shirt na pag-aari nito'y unti-unti na ring nababasa.

Without another word, she took off his jacket, then his white shirt next. She hurriedly unbuckled his belt while Quaro took off her shirt, exposing her naked chest. He didn't even waste time after taking her shirt off; 'cause he bent his head and caught one taut nip in his mouth. Ang akma niyang pagbaba ng zipper nito ay naudlot nang gawin iyon ni Quaro; isang impit na tili ang pinakawalan niya bilang sagot sa ginawa nito.

His mouth then traveled down to her abdomen, his tongue circled around her navel, and down to the upper side of her thigh. There, he became even wilder; he would bite and suck her flesh and she would answer him with whimpers.

And while his mouth was busy pleasuring her thigh, his hand slowly crawled to her vee and touched her through her thick, lacy panty. She released a moan when his thumb skillfully caressed her pearl through the fabric, stroking it up and down in a gentle, sensual way.

She closed her eyes and savored the moment.

She prepared herself—may hinala na siya kung ano ang gagawin nito.

Pero nang umangat si Quaro at pumantay sa kaniya ay bigla siyang napamulat. While his solid grey eyes bored into hers, his hand reached for the drawer.

"I want to show you how to properly touch yourself, but I can't prolong this torture anymore, Kirsten," he said before pulling one packet of rubber out of the drawer. "I was having blue balls for hours now, you know?"

She chuckled again and took the packet from him. Siya na mismo ang nagbukas niyon habang si Quaro ay ibinababa ang pantalon. He didn't take it off, he just released his engorged sex out of his pants and boxers, making her shiver in anticipation.

Kinuha nito mula sa kaniya ang rubber bago nito ibinaba ang ulo upang hagkan siyang muli. Quaro's lips devoured hers; his tongue explored her mouth, then her neck, and her ears. He then lowered his head to continue the kiss on her chest; his teeth found her nips again, his tongue torturing them until she moaned in need.

That's when Quaro grabbed her thighs and spread them not-so-gently. His hand went to her V and pulled her panty to one side before making his powerful entrance—rough and deep—making her gasp for air.

He went all in, full force, and in response, she buried her fingernails in his shoulders.

"I'm sorry, I had to do it," he said before nuzzling her neck. "I'll try to be gentle this time."

He gently, carefully released his shaft while his hand was pulling her lacy panty off the way. The other went down to hold her hip.

He started to thrust again, gentler this time as he promised, pushing in a little bit further. She did nothing but writhe underneath him.

And as he continued to delve deeper, the more flexible Kirsten got. The rubber indeed caused her discomfort, it caused dryness to her portal, but then, Quaro did his best to arouse her, kaya naman sa pagkakataong iyon ay hindi gaanong naging mahirap sa kaniya ang sitwasyon.

Quaro realized that the thin fabric that she was still wearing was getting in the way, so he briefly stopped his movements, raised his body up, and with his two hands, he tore it like a wild beast that was about to devour its prey.

She said nothing; she was so busy writhing beneath him. And when Quaro grabbed her legs and put them on his shoulders to change position, she shivered and raised her body to allow him to thrust even deeper.

"I won't be gentle in the next few seconds," he warned breathlessly.

"Hindi ko sinabing maging gentle ka, Quaro," she answered, just as breathless. "Drive me hard and deep, Daddy."

"Ya nasty," he answered before gripping both her thighs and driving rough and deep.

She's gone wild and crazy, and so was Quaro. Ang bedsheets ay nababasa na rin sa pinaghalong basang pantalon ni Quaro at mga pawis nilang pareho, but none of them cared. None of them gave a damn. They were engrossed in this moment of pleasure that not even an atomic bomb could stop.

Later on, Kirsten contracted, tightening up her muscles, bit her lower lip, and hands up to the headboard when she screamed his name—her core sucking his cock for the orgasm he gave her. And it didn't take long for him to reach his own.

Mahigpit nitong hinawakan ang pagkabilang mga binti ni Kirsten; and in one, final thrust, he released every passion he had for this woman straight into his rubber.

After the blissful moment, Quaro dropped his body on top of her—his groin still inside her when he buried his head between her shoulder and neck. His left hand was now on Kirsten's breast, while the other still gripping her other leg.

Kirsten, hands-on Quaro's back and still catching her breast, spoke;

"Forest."

"Forest?" he repeated, closing his eyes in surrender.

"I choose forest."

Sandaling inisip ng binata kung ano ang ibig nitong sabihin, at nang rumehistro ang tungkol sa mga lugar na pinapili rito ay naliwanagan ito.

"Oh," he said, his lips planting soft kisses on her neck while his hands weakly squeezed her body. "Okay, we leave tomorrow morning."

"Kasama ka?" gulat na sambit ng dalaga. "Akala ko ay ipadadala mo lang ako roon para.... Oh, Quaro... Para bang date ito?"

"No," he answered, smiling on her skin.

"Pfft, pakipot."

His grip tightened. "Shush now, and let us get more sleep. Wala pa akong tulog dahil hinabol ko ang huling biyahe ng bus."

Hindi na nagsalita pa ang dalaga at hinayaan na itong makapagpahinga. Itinaas ni Kirsten ang isang kamay patungo sa likod ng ulo ni Quaro at masuyong hinaplos ng mga daliri ang may kahabaan nitong buhok. Her other hand continued to caress his back, sending comfort to his senses.

"Kaya mo namang bumili ng sasakyan pero bakit hindi mo ginawa?" she asked; the question just suddenly popped her mind.

"I don't like driving," he answered in his sleepy voice. "I'd rather drive women than those damned cars."

Hindi napigilan ni Kirsten na banayad na sabunutan ang buhok ni Quaro na napangiti lang at hindi nagreklamo.
