CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

THE MOMENT that Clane claimed her lips, was the same moment her childhood memories popped up her mind together with her... hero.

Kaya pala pamilyar sa kanya ang malalim at madidilim na mga pares ng mata ni Clane dahil... nakita niya na ang mga iyon noon. She even remember adoring his eyes that night when he saved her from syndicate.

MADILIM at makipot ang daan na binabagtas nila palayo sa gusali kung saan siya dinala ng kidnappers. Seryosong sa pagmamaneho ang tagapag ligtas niya. Deretso ang tingin sa kalsada na ang tanging liwanag lang ay ang headlights ng sinasakyan nila.

Even though Ayesha felt safe already, she now realized that her hands were shaking a bit. Her heart is beating rapidly and she felt really tired.

"Where are we going... again?" She broke the silence again between them.

Kung hindi malalaking puno ang nakikita niya sa paligid, mga bulubundukin at matataas na talahib naman ang sumasalabong sa mga mata niya. The dark unfamiliar place starting to creep her out.

"Sa base." Tipid na sagot nito, hindi man lang siya sinulyapan.

Yesha shifted her sitting position and stare at him shamelessly. His face was covered with black bonnet, the only part that she can see is his... beautiful dark eyes. She wasn't even sure if Beautiful is the right term to use, but his eyes were really captivating.

"Tell me, from where you are? Are you a policemen? A secret agent? A soldier? Or... what?"

"I'd be happy if you shut your pretty little mouth and take a rest. It's a long day for you."

"Well, I'm starting to like this joy ride to a stranger like you." Humalukipkip siya at maarteng isinandal ang ulo sa inuupuan.

Ilang sandali palang nakatikom ang bibig niya at sa daan nakatingin, pero hindi niya talaga magawang manatiling walang kausap.

"Look," Aniya at tumingin dito, naabutan itong parang iritado dahil nagsalita na naman siya. "Since you saved me from those bad guys, I will give you a reward. What do you like?"

Siguradong pati ang magulang niya ay magbibigay ng ganting-pala sa lalaking kasama niya na nagligtas sa kanya. Now, she wanted to know what he wants to receive? No matter how expensive it would be, she will grant his wish.

"A house and lot? A condo unit? A brand new car? Ano ang gusto mong matanggap kapalit nang pag-ligtas mo sa akin?"

"I don't need all that. This is my job and I don't accept rewards or gifts from a job well done."

Yesha rolled her eyes. Alright, this one is starting to annoy her. Gusto niya lang naman na makita ulit ito at maging kaibigan kung pwede... kaya lang ay halatang hindi ito pala-kaibigan. Pero susubukan niya parin, baka sakaling mapa-payag niya.

"Kuya..." Tawag niya ulit. dahilan kung bakit napasulyap ito sa kanya.

Halos mapangiti siya. Sa dami na nang sinabi niya kanina pa, ngayon lang ulit ito sumulyap sa kanya.

"I'm not your brother." His voice sounds rude to her ears.

"Ano ang itatawag ko sayo kung gano'n?"

Hindi siya nito sinagot. Dapat ay kanina pa siya tulog, kung bakit ba hindi siya dinadatnan ng antok samantalang ang boring kausap nitong kasama niya.

"Saan ang base? What's base?" Mas naging kyoryoso na siya sa pagdadalhan nito sa kanya.

"Military base."

Napabangon siya ulit si Ayesha sa pagkakasandal at mas lalong hindi na talaga nakaramdam ng antok. Knowing that they will on their way to a Military base made her feel more secure now.

"Oh, you work in Military!" She exclaimed happily. "My hero!"

Napansin niya ang tila pag-galaw ng labi nito na natatakpan ng itim na tela. Is he smiling? Or smirking?

"Kahit hindi mo sabihin ang pangalan mo, mahahanap parin kita." Buong kompyansang sabi niya.

Now that she knows that he's working in Military, it would be easy for her to find him after all of these. She's aware that her father has many connections, she could use it to find her hero.

"Let's see that." He playfully said.

Ang mumunting liwanag sa kalsada ay tumatama sa mga mata nitong tila ba punung-puno ng misteryo. For some reason, staring at his eyes soothes her.

"I like your eyes..." Ayesha said shamelessly and adoringly. "I like the mystery behind it."

Muli ay sinulyapan siya nito at mas lalo siyang namangha sa dalawang pares ng matang 'yon.

If there's something she would want to remember all her life from that night, that would be his eyes... her hero's captivating eyes.

"I-it's... Its you..." Yesha was breathless after that deep passionate kiss.

"Yeah, it's me."

Clane was brushing his lips on hers. Nakapalupot ang mga braso nito sa bewang niya, hindi sya binibigyan nang pagkakataong tumakas dito o kahit lumayo man lang.

He territorially secured her with his arms. What is he thinking? She would get mad and run away from him?

Hindi naman sila lumangoy pero hinihingal siya at isabay pa ang pagwawala ng pintig ng kanyang puso. Alam niyang hindi ito panaginip at hindi siya ginu-good time lang ng asawa. This is for real! Clane Altaraza is her childhood hero!

"Ang tagal kitang hinanap..." Para siyang maiiyak sa labis na kasiyahan na nararamdaman sa dibdib.

Umangat medyo nanginginig niyang palad at humaplos sa panga nito. His stubbles is tickling her palm, it really feels good.

"I know."

Napanguso siya. Wala pa man din itong sinasabi tungkol sa paghahanap niya rito ay tila ba naradaran niyang may ginawa ito kaya hindi siya nagtagumpay noon na makita ulit ito.

"Kilala mo ako pero... hindi kita kilala. How unfair."

"How unfair that I know you but... you don't know me." He mocked, he was giving her a small kisses in the lips.

"Bakit hindi ka nagpakilala kaagad?"

"Paano kung nagpakilala kaagad ako sayo? Tingin mo?"

"I will surely... like you!"

"You will surely like me, huh."

Her cheeks burn. Huh, hindi parin siya nagbabago. Ang pagiging matapat niya ay madalas na nagpapa-hiya sa sarili niya.

"You will like me as what?" He asked, caressing her waist again up to the side of her boobs.

Nasa malalim sila na bahagi ng swimming pool, kung may ginagawa man silang kababalaghan sa ilalim ng tubig, hindi iyon masyado halata. Sila lang din ang tao roon, kaya hindi na siya nag-aalala na baka may makakita sa kanila. And who cares by the way? They already married. Making out in public isn't that big deal to her anymore.

"Probably as my hero."

"That was the reason why I did not introduce myself to you as your childhood hero."

"Dahil ayaw mong magustuhan kita dahil lang sa ikaw ang hero ko."

"Yes."

Yesha tilted her head a bit to give her husband an access to her neck. From her lips, his kisses is slowly going down to her jaw and neck.

"P-Pero... matagal mo na akong kilala, di ba?"

"Yes."

"You... I mean, did you watch me grow up?"

Clane paused for a seconds. Mayabang na umangat ang sang kilay niya. He knew her even before!

"How did you say that?"

"Just answer me."

"I know you, but it doesn't mean I watch you grow up."

"Gano'n." Para siyang nalungkot sa nalaman.

At bakit naman din siya ni Clane susubaybayan sa pag-laki niya? Siguradong habang busy siya sa pag-aaral, busy naman ito sa trabaho. Kaya bakit naisip niya na magalalaan ito nang oras tungkol sa bagay na 'yon? She overthink too much.

"You were busy studying and I was busy with works. So, yeah, I don't have a lot of time to have my eyes on you before."

Why he sounds defensive by the way?

"Okay. What matter is... we are married now. I marry my hero."

Napalunok siya nang marahan itong tumawa at tumama sa collarbone niya ang mainit nitong hininga.

"Can I get my reward now?" He asked, kissing he neck.

"R-Reward?"

"Yeah. My reward for saving you."

Natawa siya. He's still remember that reward she was saying that night!

"Yes, you can now get your reward. What do you want?" She asked playfully.

She lay a fingers on his ripped hard stomach, teasing him.

"I want my wife." He answered hoarsely and his lips travel down to the valley of her breast and down...

Napahawak siya sa ulo ng asawa nang lumubog iyon sa tubig at naramdaman niya ang pagbaba nito sa bikini niya.

"Oh, shit."

Inaninag niya ito sa kulay asul na tubig. Ang ulo ay nasa pagitan ng kanyang mga hita, ang dalawang braso ay nakayakap sa balakang niya.

"Uhh!" She gasped when she felt Clane's lips on her womanhood.

They were like that for a couple of minutes before she felt him moving under the water. Dinala siya ng asawa sa may gilid ng swimming pool upang ma-i-balanse niya ang katawan.

Kumapit siya sa metal nahagdanan sa likod niya at ibinuka pa lalo ng bahagya ang mga hita sa ilalim ng tubig.

She don't have idea how Clane manage to lick her while he was in the water. But it feels like by licking her womanhood, he gets enough air to continue what the fuck he was doing to her.

"Ohh, baby!"

Napatingala siya nang tila nginangasab ng asawa ang pagkababae niya. Nang-gigigil sa kanya at hindi niya na maawat pa dahil nahihibang na siya sa kiliting dulot ng dila nito sa sensitibong parte ng kanyang katawan.

Ang hikaw sa dila ni Clane ang mas lalong nagpapabaliw sa kanya. Halos tumirik ang kanyang mga mata sa ilalim ng matinding sikat ng araw. Kung hindi lang nakakasilaw ay hindi niya nanaisin na ipikit pa ang mga mata.

She would rather watch him pleasuring her under the water than closing her eyes.

Yesha's forehead is already sweating. The level of the water is on her neck and she felt like her bikini top is loosing up. Ang dalawang braso niya ay naka-angat, medyo napapahigpit na ang pagkapit niya sa hagdan sa kanyang uluhan.

It feels like she was getting punish under the broad sunlight. Ang ganitong klase ng parusa lang ang palagi niyang nanaiisin na maranasan kung gano'n.

"Ahh, Clane! Ah, ah... ummm!" She was whimpering and grinding her hips in the water.

Her womanhood is now throbbing and she felt so close to her orgasm.

Ikiniskis ng asawa ang may hikaw na dila sa kanyang hiwa dahilan ng panginginig ng mga hita niya.

"Oh, fuck! I'm gonna... ohhhh! Baby!" She gasped and her eyes shut.

Ikinipot niya ang mga binti, hindi na napigilan pa ang orgasmong rumagasa.

VILLA ALTARAZA named as one of the luxurious hotel and resort in the Country this year and to celebrate that another achievement, Altarazas decided to have another party in the Villa.

Imbitado ang mga kaibigan ni Clane, kasama ang mga asawa't anak. They occupied one of he private swimming pool. Ang karamihan sa empleyado ng mga ito ay nasa pampublikong pool naman nagsama-sama.

"Heard that your husband is in the list of riches man in Asia." Alexza told her.

Ayesha sipped on her wine glass. Kapwa sila nakaupo sa gilid ng swimming pool, tinatampisaw ang mga paa sa tubig.

Gabi na at malamig, pero hindi parin nagawa ni Clane na pigilan siyang huwag magsuot ng two piece. She's still wear her printed swimsuit. Hindi katulad ng mga asawa ng kabigan ni Clane, maluluwag na rush guard ang suot, halatang napilitan lang ang mga itong isuot ang mga 'yon.

"Yeah, he's doing very well in his field, so... he deserve it."

Sumulyap siya kung nasaa na grupo ng asawa. Sa kabilang panig, nag-iinuman ang mga ito, ang iba ay nag-iihaw, palit-palitan lang. Wala silang kasamang kasambahay o staff ng hotel, they just do their thing by themselves.

It seems like Clane felt her stares, because he galnce at her direction, too. Bumaba ang katawan nito sa katawan niya sabay supladong nag-iwas ng tingin.

Gusto niyang matawa, hindi yata matanggap ng asawa na hindi siya napigilan sa pagsusuot ng swimsuit kaya halatang iritado sa kanya.

"Sayang 'no, hindi sila kumpleto." Si Alexza na nakatingin din pala sa grupo nila Clane.

She count the men and they are only nine. Keith wasn't there.

"Kaya nga. Sayang wala si Keith." Napabuntong hininga siya.

"Hey,"

Nag-angat sila ng tingin kay Yane. She's wearing a one piece swimsuit that hugs her curve. Kahit madilim, litaw parin ang walang kakislap-kislap na mga mata nito.

Yane sat beside her.

"We're glad to see you again, Yane. Thank you for coming."

"Wala si Kuya, kaya ako na lang ang kapalit niya."

Napansin niya na naglalapitan na papunta sa kanila ang iba pa nilang kasama galing sa paglangoy.

"Kapag kailangan mo ng kausap, nandito lang naman kami, Yane." Si Alexza.

"Thank you. But, I think... I still need more time to finally accept what happened."

"You can stay here in Villa Altaraza. This is a good place for healing." Suhestiyon niya.

"Gusto ko sana pero... aalis na rin naman ako. Magpapakalayo-layo muna."

"Saan ka magpupunta? Sabihin mo sa amin." Si Jess na nasa harap na nila, nasa tubig parin.

"Pwede ka rin sa Isla Fuentes, Yane." Ericka Jean said.

"You can also visit Villafuente Beach Resort. We will be happy to see you there." It was Alexza with a smile.

"We have a rest house in Los Angeles, you can stay there, too." Gelicah gave another option.

Ngunit sa lahat ng suhestiyon nila, ni isa ay walang pinili si Yane.

"Salamat ulit sa inyo, pero, nakapag desisyon na ako, e. May lugar na akong pupuntahan. Kami lang ni K-Kuya Keith ang nakakaalam niyon." Ngumiti ito sa kanila ngunit hindi naman umabot sa mga mata.

"Pwede ba namin malaman?"

Sumulyap si Yane kung nasaan ang grupo nila Clane. She caught Howell looking at Yane.

"Sure. But, I have one favor."

"Ano?" Halos sabay-sabay pa na tanong nila.

"Don't tell it to your husbands."

Parang lahat sila nakakunot ang mga noo.

"Why not?"

"Because they will surely tell it to Howell."

"Ah, pinagtataguan mo si Doc pogi." Ani Karen na asawa ni Colton.

"N-Not really. I just want to have a peace of mind and I want to heal my heart. Fix it on my own."

"Naiintindihan ka namin. Pangako. Hindi namin sasabihin sa mga asawa namin kung nasaan ka."

Sabay-sabay pa silang nagtaas ng kanang kamay, nanunumpa. Napapangiwi siya, pakiramdam niya ay mahuhuli kaagad siya ni Clane kapag may inililihim siya. Bahala na!

"Okay, cool." Yane tried to be cheerful. "So, Kuya and I have this secret place that we used to visit whenever we feel lonely. And that is in..."

"Can we talk?" Howell interrupted.

Nagkatinginan silang lahat. Pakiramdam niya lahat sila ay iba ang pagkakaintindi sa sinabi ni Howell. Tila ba si Yane lang tangi ang hindi nakakaintindi ng lihim na mensahe ng tatlong salitang 'yon.

"Can we talk daw, Yane." Si Jess, medyo tinapik pa ang binti ng dalaga. "Baka sa ibang talk kayo mauwi, ha."

Kinagat niya ang loob ng pisngi, nagpipigil na huwag matawa.

"Anong ibang talk?" Kunot noong tanong ni Yane.

"There are different kind of talks, Yane."

"Jess." Saway ni Alexza sa matalik na kaibigan.

"No, tell me." Yane seems so eager to know the different kind of talks they were talking about.

"I dare all of you to give the kind of Talk to Yane." Jess challenged them.

"Okay, Talk in the car." It was Karen.

"Talk in the... kitchen." Gelicah said and giggled.

"There's also kind of Talk in the bathroom." Alexza giggled, too.

"Are you girls, serious?" Yane asked, chuckling.

"Yes, there is also Talk in the... hmmm. "Si Jess na nag-isip pa. "... talk in the bed. This is much more comfortable."

"Pwede rin Talk in the yacht." Ericka Jean muttered shyly.

"Ikaw, Ayesha, saan kayo nag-uusap ni Clane?" Pilya siyang nginisian ni Jess.

"In balcony, walk in closet or inside the car. Recently, we Talked in the pool." She casually answered, trying to be innocent as possible.

"Yane..." Howell's voice was now raspy.

"'Yan, namamaos na ang boses ni Doc. Go, Yane. It's Talking time." Jess beamed.

"We will leave you two, alone." It was Carter.

Nagsilapitan na ang mga asawa nila sa kanila. Inalalayan siya ni Clane makatayo, kagaya rin ng mga kaibigan nito sa asawa. Iisa lang ang kilos ng magkakaibigan na ito.

"Let's get back to our suite." Clane place his hand at the small of her back. "Brute, let's go and give them space."

"Howell, I"m rooting for you!" Tinapik-tapik pa ni Carter ang balikat ng doktor. "Galingan mo, ha."

"Shut up and leave, Altaraza." Howell hissed.

"Pinapaalis mo ako? The last time I check, this is our Villa."

"Fuck you, brute. Leave us alone, annoying ass."

"Ako parin ang pinaka guwapo sa ating lahat!" Deklara pa ni Carter, nakalahad pa ang mga braso sa ere.

Nagtawanan silang mga babae.

"Baliw na yata 'yang kapatid mo, Clane." Si Zyron. "Ang alam ko, ako ang pinaka guwapo satin."

"'Yun ang alam mo, Fuentes." Clane countered back.

"Ganyan talaga kapag iniwan." Colton murmured but Carter heard it.

"Parang ang sarap makipag sparring kay Colton bago matulog." Parinig ni Carter.

Huminto si Colton, si Karen naman ay natatawa lang.

"I'm down, Kuya. Let's go."

"Tumigil na kayo." Saway ng asawa niya sa dalawa.

"Hindi ako iniwan. Okay?" Si Carter na parang may ipinaglalaban. Nakainom na rin.

"Oo na, hindi na."

Naglalakad na sila sa lobby ng hotel pero nagsasagutan parin ang magkapatid. Hindi siya sigurado kung biruan lang ba o seryoso na. But they both looks calm.

"Just because we are apart, it doesn't mean she left me." It was Carter again.

"I'm sorry, okay? I was just kidding." Colton face his brother.

Nauna nang sumakay sa elevator ang mag-aasawa at silang apat nalang ang nasa lobby.

"You're so mean, Colton. Oh, that's bad, bro."

Ngayon ay mas napansin niya na sa lahat, si Carter ang pinaka lasing. Clane don't even look like he drinks alcohol.

"No, no, I didn't mean to be mean, Kuya. I apologize."

Carter waved his hand. "You humiliated me in front of our friends."

Napatingin si Colton kay Clane, kahit ito ay hindi sigurado kung seryoso ba si Carter o ano.

"I did not."

"You fucking did."

Colton let out a breath. He was so calm and very patient.

"Alright, it's my fault. I won't do it again. Okay?"

"It will never be okay."

"Kuya..."

Gusto niyang pagtawanan si Colton sa pagtawag kay Clane, halatang nanghihingi na ng tulong dahil sa kakulitan ng isang kapatid. Uh, these siblings are so cute.

"What's your problem, huh." It was Clane in his cold voice.

Pinanood niya ang asawa nang lapitan si Carter na nakayukyok na sa front desk. Tahimik ang dalawang empleyadong babae sa front desk, tahimik na pinapanood ang magkakapatid matapos silang batiin.

"Wala akong problema, Kuya."

"Then stop acting like that."

Clane was very serious. Dapat ay sanay na siya sa tuwing ganito ang asawa, kaya lang ay hindi, lihim parin siyang humahanga lalo at ganito na... seryoso ito.

The hotel staff came and handed her a bathrobe.

"Thanks." Kinuha niya 'yon at isinuot.

"Am I that bad, huh?"

"No, you're just annoying." Clane answered and that made her arched her brow.

"Well, then, I'm annoying ass, I fucking know that, yeah."

"I'm glad you fucking know that. So, you better go to your suite and sleep."

"Yeah, it would be more better if I have someone in my arms all night."

"Then, get her back in your arms . Simple as that, Carter."

She silently clapping because of her husband's suggestion. it feels like he could make things possible even if it's very complicated.

"Your pride is nothing to do with you when it comes to love. If you really want her, then, swallow your pride if it's the only thing you could do to be with her again. Move your ass before it's too late." Clane patted Carter's head. "Go ahead, and sleep."

Nagtawag ang asawa niya ng male hotel staff para dalhin si Carter sa suite nito. Sumama na rin si Colton at sila ni Clane ang naiwan sa lobby.

"I admire you." She almost whisper it, too shy to admit.

"Why are you admiring me?"

"For being a good brother. At hindi lang 'yon. Hinahangaan kita sa maraming bagay."

"Well, you should."

Clane place his hand in the small of her back again and they walk towards the elevator.

"I wish we could have more children." She dreamily said the moment they enter the elevator.

Since she's the only child, she wants to have more kids. Gusto niyang makakita ng maraming bata na naglalaro sa mansyon nila. Is that too much to ask?

Their eyes met in the mirror's reflection of the door. She saw the burning desire on his eyes.

Clane's gaze went down to her body. Napalunok na niyakap niya ang sarili. Her cleavage show up more because of what she did.

"Gusto mo?" Halos pabulong nalang iyon, ang labi nito ay nasa gilid ng kanyang ulo.

"O-oo." She even nod her head. Kung bakit ay para siyang napapaso.

"Let's wait for Cole to turn one, baby."

"S-Sige." Sagot niya, nag-iinit ang magkabilang pisngi.

"Mahal kita." He whispered above her head.

Her heart is hammering inside her chest. Sa repleksyon ng salamin ay napangiti siya. Just seeing him made her smile. This is... love.

"Mahal kita, Clane." Tapos ay malambing siyang yumakap dito.
