CHAPTER FOUR

CELESTINE’S P.O.V.

***

“Okay, sweetheart. Tell me. I’m ready to hear your story,” seryosong sabi sa akin ni Gregory matapos niyang kunin ang kamay ko para paglaruan.

I smiled at his gesture. Kahit yata sa maliliit na kilos niyang gano’n ay kaya niyang patalunin ang puso ko sa kaba. I couldn’t help but marvel about the Moon Goddess’s peculiar way of uniting two hearts so quickly, even just from the first time our eyes met, unlike humans who have a lot more to consider before falling in love.

Iniangat ko ang kamay ko upang haplusin ang makinis niyang mukha. “Let’s take it easy. Masiyado ka nang loaded sa information ngayon. Saka naman ’yong iba.”

Napasimangot siya sa sinabi ko. Natawa naman ako nang makita kong napalabi pa siya at napakamot sa kaniyang kilay dahil sa pagkabitin. Ang totoo ay sinabi ko lang naman ’yon para manatili siya rito sa kwarto ngayong gabi. I don’t know why, but my instinct says he have to stay by my side tonight.

“Fine,” maya-maya ay sumusukong sabi niya. “Let’s just go to sleep, then,” dagdag pa niya bago niya inayos ang kaniyang pagkakahiga sa tabi ko. Napapikit ako nang maramdaman ko ang paghapit niya sa baywang ko, dahilan para lalong magkadikit ang mga katawan namin.

Ngunit nang maglapat ang mga balat namin ay bigla na lang akong nabalisa. Para bang unti-unti akong nakaramdam ng pag-iinit. Pakiramdam ko ay may kung anong sinisilaban sa loob ng katawan ko!

“F—uck, Celestine! Are you in heat?!” narinig kong anas ni Gregory ngunit wala ako sa wisyo upang pagtuunan pa ’yon ng pansin!

Hindi ko na kaya! Nilundag ko ang palayo sa kama at isa-isa kong inalis ang bawat telang tumatakip sa katawan ko para lang ibsan ang init na bumabaliw sa akin ngayon, ngunit hindi pa rin ’yon naging sapat. What the hell is going on?!

I heard Gregory heaved a profound sigh. Agad ’yong sinundan ng mga yabag niyang papalapit sa akin… at nang hawakan niya ang magkabila kong balikat, sa isang iglap ay bigla na lang nasupil ang napakainit na pakiramdam na kanina ay halos magpawala sa akin sa katinuan!

I saw a strange twinkle in his eyes as I met his gaze. It was so full of love and desire, and it was so alluring.

Bumaba ang paningin ko sa kaniyang mga labi, na para bang nanghahalina, at dahil doon ay hindi ko na napigilan pa ang sarili ko. I tasted them. I let myself make the first move, and it was so magical than the first time we kissed.

Halos mabaliw ako nang tugunin ni Gregory ang mga halik ko. Hayan na naman ang animo pagliliyab ng katawan ko, ngunit sa pagkakataong ito ay nagugustuhan ko na ang pakiramdam na hatid n’on. He then grabbed my waist and lifted me using his one hand without interrupting our kiss.

Gently, he laid me down on the bed. He’s now on top of me, creeping his kisses from my lips, my jawline, down to my neck. Then he planted tiny kisses on my clavicle down to my mountains, which made me arched in so much pleasure.

“G-Gregory!” I couldn’t help but moan his name out loud as if I was asking for more!

Hindi ko alam kung papaano naalis ni Gregory ang lahat ng kaniyang saplot nang hindi ko namamalayan. He’s now completely naked. I felt so embarrassed for a moment, but it quickly disappeared when he started caressing my body using his luscious hands, causing me to moan even more because of so much bliss that I never knew I could ever experience.

His gaze dropped down, and I knew he was staring at my wetness. Nang muli siyang mag-angat ng tingin upang hingin ang permiso ko ay hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pang tumango. I knew I was ready and was willing to give him everything.

I felt a sudden pain the moment our bodies finally became one… but it was worth it. When he began to move slowly, he made me feel every beautiful thing in the world. He made me feel special, and he made me feel loved.

“Oh, Goddess! I think I’m going to explode!” I shouted, and I mean it. Pakiramdam ko ay may kung anong malapit nang sumabog sa kaibuturan ko, habang tumatagal at bumibilis ang kaniyang paggalaw!

Gregory let out a loud howl after I shouted it. Pakiramdam ko, sa pagkakataong ito ay lalo siyang nanggigil. His movements quickened and became more fiery.

I felt him gently pull my head away from my shoulder, exposing my neck… then he bit it in the hardest way he could, which made me reach the peak of my succulent satisfaction! He marked me, finally making me entirely his property, and then he sealed it with a kiss.

Gregory roared again, and I knew he was also about to reach the pinnacle of paradise, so now it’s my turn to return the favor.

“Mark him too, Celestine,” I heard Crescent whisper in the back of my mind. Mabilis ko namang sinunod ang sinabi niya.

I looked for Gregory’s marking spot, and when I found it, I imitated what he did to me. I bit him hard that I could already taste the sweetness of his blood, then I sealed it by licking its traces.

And for the last time, as he finally reaches heaven, Gregory let out the loudest howl of the night!

“I love you, Celestine,” Gregory whispered in my ear even though my eyes are closed, and we were both gasping for breath. Naramdaman kong binuhat niya ulit ako para makahiga ako nang mas maayos, then he covered my nudity.

Isiniksik ko ang sarili ko sa pagitan ng mga braso ni Gregory, saka ko siya tinugon. “I love you too.” Then I kissed him for the last time tonight.
