CHAPTER FOUR

I-I SHOULDN'T be doing this, were the words that kept repeating in Lyricca's head. I have a boyfriend!

She kept on pushing that inside her mind but it would only be covered by the pleasure that Thomas gives with his mouth.

A boyfriend that suddenly left me all alone in a place I know nothing of, somewhere in her mind battled. She was obviously trying to cover up the sin that she was currently committing.

No one forced her. She wasn't intoxicated. She could've pushed Thomas or said no right away or even right now, but a bigger part of her wanted what was happening. This is... so new... and too good.

The moment she let the stranger take over her, Lyricca kept her eyes shut, never opening them as if she still wants to make herself believe that all of it was just a dream.

Already in her birthday suit and him in his god-like naked state, Lyricca couldn't help the moans that leave her mouth. "O-Oh... god."

She was laying down on the bed while the man kissed and licked her neck down to her breasts, still staying on top of her.

Lyricca let out a soft squeal when he licked the crown of her mountain. "Oh god — Ah." A mouth licking and lapping her right one, while the other was occupied with a hand, getting a sensual massage.

It was her first time receiving such pleasure that her mind could not completely comprehend. It only screams more, more, and more. She loves the attention of the man on her body.

"Hmph..." Kagat-kagat ni Lyricca ang ibabang labi para lang pigilan ang mga tunog na lumalabas sa bibig niya. Naramdam niyang bumaba ang labi ng lalake sa puson niya hanggang sa hita niya. Impit na napasigaw muli si Lyricca nang dilaan ng lalake ang singit niya. It was too sensitive, too near on her jewel.

"Gémissez pour moi, princesse." Napagalaw naman si Lyricca nang madama niya ang pagbulong ng lalake malapit sa sentro niya. "Moan. Let it out," mas klaro ang pagkakasabi nito kaya inalis ni Lyricca ang pagkakakagat sa labi niya.

"Ah... hmm..." Halos malagutan siya ng hininga nang maramdaman na niya ang dila ng lalake sa pang-ibaba niyang mga labi. Hindi pa siya tuluyang nakakapag-adjust sa dila nito nang madama niyang may pumasok sa loob niya. It was his finger — fingers. Nadama ni Lyricca ang hapdi sa umpisa hanggang sa madama niya ang sarap. "Hmph! Oh shoot! Ah!" Mariin siyang napapikit saka napakapit nang mahigpit sa bedsheet at sa sarili niyang buhok.

W-What in the world am I doing‽ Why does this feel so good?

Hindi na malaman ni Lyricca kung saan ibabaling ang ulo hanggang sa may maramdaman siyang gustong sumabog. "S-Stop. P-Please. I-I think I want t-to pee," hingal na hingal niyang pakiusap na hindi naman pinakinggan ng lalake.

Sa halip ay naramdaman at nairinig niya ang mahinang pagtawa nito bago inangat ang ulo, ngunit hinayaan ang mga daliri sa loob niyang mabagal na gumagalaw, saka tumingin sa kaniya. "Just let it out, delicious. Say you're c-mming."

Mabigat ang talukap ng mga matang tumingin sa lalakeng si Lyricca. "Wh-what?"

He gave her a lick which brought shivers to her spine before staring into her brown eyes. "I said... say you're c-mming."

The dominance in his tone was too much not to notice, and so Lyricca, with a soft voice, abided. "I-I'm c-mming."

Thomas then smirked before going back to devouring her existence and moving his fingers faster.

As for Lyricca, napakapit na lamang siya sa buhok ng lalake habang isinisigaw at dalawang salitang tinuro sa kaniya. "I'm c-mming. I'm c-mming. Oh!"

Lyricca's eyes almost went completely white before coming down from the high heavens. I swear I could see stars. She was exhausted already and had planned to sleep, but then she felt movements on top of her so she forced her eyes to open even a little.

Napansin niya ang lalakeng inaayos ang posisyon sa ibabaw niya. "We're not done yet, princesse." Lyricca shivered when he sensually caressed her thigh. "Open your legs for me, princesse."

IT has been three years since that night happened. Lyricca knew it was a secret — a sin she had to keep hidden until her last breath.

After that sinful night, the man told his driver to bring her home. Hindi naman na umimik noon si Lyricca at nanatiling tahimik hanggang sa pag-uwi niya.

Pagdating niya noon sa bahay ay nagkulong na lamang siya sa kwarto niya buong araw habang umiiyak. She couldn't believe she'd let herself be in that kind of situation.

She did not take any alcohol or forbidden substance, therefore, maayos ang pag-iisip niya. But what did she do? Hinayaan niya ang init ng katawan niya ang kumontrol sa buong pagkatao niya.

But even if she had made that mistake — that sin, she told no soul about it. Not even her boyfriend, Yves.

Ang alam lang ng boyfriend niya ay sobrang sama ng pakiramdam niya noong araw na iyon at hindi na niya sinabi pa ritong iniwan siya nito sa lugar na iyon.

What he did that night was nothing compared to what she did.

For goodness' sake, she cheated on her boyfriend. Sa boyfriend niyang walang ibang ginawa kundi ang mahalin siya't respetuhin siya.

She was in complete daze for two years after that incident. Halos hindi siya mapakali, at laking pasasalamat na lamang niya at hindi na niya muling nakita ang lalakeng kaniig niya noong gabing iyon. It helped her forget about the sin she did, and slowly, she regained herself.

"So... what do you think?" tanong ni Yves na nagpabalik sa wisyo niya.

Lyricca looked at the flowers again before facing her ex-boyfriend — now, fiancé, Yves. "The light pink tulips would be pretty."

Agad namang sumang-ayon ang lalake saka hinalikan muna siya sa noo bago nagpaalam para kausapin ang magiging florist para sa kasal nila.

Last year, when Lyricca finally made peace with her conscience, Yves' proposal made perfect timing for her "healing". Pinaniniwalaan ni Lyricca ang kasabihang, "what you don't know won't hurt you." Therefore, she won't tell a soul about that night to avoid hurting the man who loves her dearly.

Naniniwala si Lyricca na another chapter ng buhay niya ang bubukas at iyon ang kasama si Yves at tuluyan na niyang nakalimutan ang lalakeng nakasama niya noong gabing iyon.

"Have you told Tito about the change of wedding place?" tanong ng babae sa fiancé niya habang naglalakad sila pabalik sa kotse nila.

Tumango naman si Yves saka may maliit na ngiting tumingin sa malawak na flower farm sa gilid nito. "Yeah, he did agree that I want to make amends with my mom's eldest." Tumingin ito sa kaniya. "I mean, even when Mom was on her deathbed, she did ask me a favor. And that's to make sure I'll meet with my older half-brother."

Si Lyricca naman ngayon ang napatango. Yves' mother, Tita Carmen, died half a year ago. It was tough for all of them but she did leave peacefully. Pero ayun nga, hiniling nito kay Yves na makipagkita sa nakatatandang kapatid nito.

Kaya naman nang sabihin ni Yves kay Lyricca na sa France sila, specifically, Nantes, France, magpapakasal, ay hinayaan na lamang niya ito. She heard that his older half-brother resides there. Their mother's birthplace.

Kahit tuloy si Lyricca ay hindi maiwasang ma-curious kung anong itsura at ugali ng kapatid ng kaniyang fiancé. Nananalangin siyang pumabor sa kaniya ang kapatid dahil kahit hindi pa naman talaga nagkakakilala si Yves at ang kuya nito ay pamilya pa rin iyon ng mapapangasawa niya. Dapat lamang na in good terms siya rito para walang maging problema.

"But are you sure you're okay with this, mon amour? I mean you did want a wedding in Palawan—"

Lyricca quickly kissed her man to cut him off before cupping his face. Nasa loob na sila ngayon ng kotse at magkatabi sa backseat. "I'm fine with any place as long as I marry you."

Yves' face automatically softens before holding her hands and bringing them to his lips, leaving a peck one after the other. "I'm so lucky to be with an amazing woman like you. Je t'aime, mon amour."

"And I love you too," she sweetly replied. They were about to kiss again when Yves' phone began to ring. Lyricca chuckled as she softly tapped his cheek. "Go on, answer that first."

He mouthed, "I love you" first before answering the call.

Base naman sa pagbabago ng reaksyon ng lalake ay tila may hinuha na si Lyricca sa sinasabi ng nasa kabilang linya.

And when the call ended, her hunch was confirmed. Yves' face was evidently bright as he looked at her. "I finally found my brother. I know exactly where he is this time."
