Natigilan si Catalina sa pagpirma nang may kumatok sa pintuan ng opisina niya. Her breath almost hitched when she saw the familiar man outside her office doors.

Chapter 36Catalina couldn't help but moan so loud as Hugo started ramming his cck inside her. Hindi na napigilan ni Hugo ang sarili dahil sa tagal niyang hindi nakita ang asawa. He immediately made love with her and it's her punishment for leaving him too."Ah! Deeper... Faster, Hugo!"Hugo groaned as he watched Catalina's back. Her ass were bouncing as he continued to pound her from behind, faster and deeper. Hugo couldn't help but groan when he felt her walls tightened around his shaft. Nakagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi at mas lalong diniinan ang pagbayo kay Catalina."Ah! Ah! I'm coming... I'm coming!"Catalina felt her orgasm ripped through her. But Hugo didn't stop there.
