TO BE honest, though he was really alarmed by the old woman's plea, he was alos a bit thrilled. Thrilled because the moment he laid eyes on the granddaughter, he felt something stir inside him. Something that hasn't stirred in a long time. Para bang may nagising sa pagkatao niya. But he was also alarmed. Dahil iyong nagising sa pagkatao niya ay mas dapat yata na manatili na lang na nahihimbing. Lalo pang nakaka-alarma ang mga kuwentong narinig niya galing sa matanda tungkol sa nasagap nitong mga balita na ginagawa ng apo nito.
He was so into himself after the old woman died that he didn't think about the promise he made to her. Nang mamatay kasi si Doňa Henrie ay inatake na naman siya ng malalim na depresyon. Depresyong napaglabanan na niya noon kahit paano. Losing someone he had grown close to must have triggered it.
But he forced himself to stop focusing on what he was feeling long enough to have someone look for the granddaughter and give him an idea as to what kind of person she really is, kung tama ba ang reports na nakuha ng lola nito. Noon niya nalaman, napatunayan pa nga, na kailangan nga nito ng pagliligtas. She is not just posing for nude photos, she is also into taking illegal substances that seems to be clouding her judgment.
He felt he needed to take her away from it all. That would be the first step. And then he discovered she needed to lie low for a while, away from anyone who could be looking for her. Madali na niyang nabuo ang plano na akitin itong magpunta sa isla. Pero para makasiguro siya na sasama ito sa kanya ay hindi muna niya sinabi ang tungkol sa lola nito.
He had been having wet dreams revolving around this woman so now that he is right here with him, naked except for a blanket draped over her luscious body, he needed to keep his eyes trained on her face or else he might just jump her bones right here and now.
Ganoon pa man ay may kakaibang tuwa ring dala sa kanya ang paghagod ng tingin sa mukha nito. Sakto sa panlasa niya ang itsura nito, a pleasing combination of innocence and sultriness. He would love to tumble her down on the grass and take her but he stopped himself. Ayaw niyang pangunahan siya ng libido niya. He wants to have a clear mind when it comes to this woman. Natatakot siya na kapag natikman niya ito ay palabuin na ng matindi at maya't mayang pagnanasa rito ang pag-iisip niya. And the last time his judgment was clouded, he regretted it.
"Aegen..." Paos ang boses ni Ruby nang sambitin ang pangalan niya. Mas kislap din ng pagnanasa sa mga mata nito. She is a hot woman, he knows that already. But seeing her longing for him – without the effects of any illegal susbtance circulating in her system – is doing things to his ego that he didn't want to acknowledge.
Because he wants her, too. Wants her desperately. Pero hindi pa iyon ang panahon para sundin ang udyok ng katawan – at kalooban – niya.
"Gusto ko sanang ituloy ang ginagawa ko," hayag niya para huwag na niyang maisip na magpadala sa tukso. "Can you please put your blindfold back?"
"Bakit kailangan pa iyon?" pagtataka ni Ruby.
"Iba ang ekspresyon mo kapag hindi mo nakikita ang nangyayari," paliwanag niya. "Iyon ang itsura mo na gusto kong ma-capture."
"H-hindi ko maintindihan," anito.
Humugot muna ng hininga si Aegen.
"Come on, I will show you. Wait, stay there," utos niya saka iniwan sandali si Ruby para kunin ang pampiring.
Mabilis niyang inilagay ulit iyon dito saka niya ito giniyahan pabalik sa lugar kung saan ito naka-puwesto kanina. He took the blanket off her body. Napahinga siya ng malalim pagkakita sa hubad na katawan nito. His hand suddenly itched to have a feel of that soft, supple skin. Bago pa matukoy ni Aegen ang ginagawa ay kumilos na ng kusa ang kamay niya. He felt his whole body tingle when he touched Ruby.
Napasinghap naman ang dalaga. Parang ito man ay nabaghan sa pagdantay ng palad niya rito. At dahil nga hindi nito nakikita ang nangyayari ay wala itong paraan para ma-anticipate ang gagawin niya. Which probably makes the experience, and the sensation it creates, doubly surprising...and interesting. Seeing her reaction tickled his imagination all the more.
Inayos muna ulit ni Aegen ang blanket pagkatapos ay inalalayan niya sa paghiga roon si Ruby. Inilalagay niya sa tamang posisyon ang mga kamay nito nang bigla itong pumihit. Naitulak nito ang tuhod niya na nasa isang side nito. Nawalan tuloy siya ng balanse at bumagsak siya sa ibabaw ni Ruby.
His cock reacted instantly to the unexpected contact. Tumigas agad iyon. The thought that it is pressing against Ruby's naked portal made it almost impossible for him not to grind it against her softness.
Umungol naman ang dalaga bilang tugon sa ginawa niya. Nagustuhan yata nito ang pagdiin ng bigat niya sa kaselanan nito. Hula nga niya ay sinadya nito ang ginawang pagbangga sa kanya.
"How d'you like it?" anito, napapangiti.
"Sinadya mo 'no?" akusa niya.
"Gee, you think?" Humagikgik ito.
He likes the sound of that, he realized. He also likes Ruby all the more when she is playful. Dahil doon ay lalo pa siyang natukso na manatili na lang sa kinaroroonan niya, iyong nakapatong sa ibabaw nito.
She squirmed under him. Napakiskis tuloy lalo sa pagitan ng hita nito ang sandata niya.
"Stop that!" sita niya sa dalaga.
"What? This?" Inulit nito ang ginawa.
