Comrades in Action Book 2: Aiden Montaniez

Hot and Bothered

He stood at the side of my horse. My eyes remained low. I can see the fast and deep heaving of his chest... the clenched fist making his knuckles turn almost white. At parang may magnet ang mga mata nito dahil mula doon ay unti-unting umangat ang paningin ko.

Just like his fist, his jaw is tightly clenched too. I dragged my eyes higher. I noticed how his skin became redder. If it is from exertion or anger ay hindi ko alam. But I think it's the latter. 

Then lastly, I dragged my eyes until I saw his raging pitch black eyes looking back at me. I gasped. suddenly scared.

Why?

The man is livid!! Murderous to be exact!!

Marahas nitong kinuha ang aking braso saka hinaklit ako pababa sa likod ni Knight. I fumbled lightly on his shirt when I thought mawawalan na naman ako ng balanse. He kept his palms on my waist to steady me. Ibinaba niya ako gamit ang isa pang kamay nito na nakadapo just below my butt. I was instantly flushed in his chest. Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko sa sobrang lapit ng mga mukha namin sa isa't isa. His nostril flared because of anger.

"I. Told. You. To. Stop!! Alin ba ang mahirap intindihin doon?!" Sigaw nito na ikinapitlag ko.

"I.. I..." Now what, Dominica? Not so brave now, aren't we? Sarkastikong wika ko sa aking sarili.

"Fuck!" Isinuklay nito ang mga daliri sa magulo nitong buhok. Now he looked ruggedly handsome. And frustrated. "Hindi mo ba alam na muntik na akong mawalan ng hininga sa stunt na ginawa mo?! Are you out of your mind?! Paano kung napahamak ka ha? Didn't that idea entered your thick head?!" He snapped.

I blushed in embarrassment when I realized the probable complications of what I did. Pag nagkataon, hindi lang ako ang mapapahamak kundi pati na rin si Knight. He could have broken his leg. He could have damaged it, making him unable to race anymore.

Oh my god!

Hindi ko napigilan ang pangingilid ng mga luha ko sa gilid ng aking mga mata ng maisip iyon.

Stupid! Stupid Dominica!

"Fuck!" He hissed when he finally looked at me. He looked alarmed when he saw my tears threatening to fall down. "Are you okay?" Natatarantang sinipat nito ang kabuuan ko, checking for any injuries. "Saan ang masakit..."

Mas lalo akong naiyak ng makita ang sobrang pag-aalala nito. He looked... vulnerable in front of me..

God.. when will I stop making him feel like this?

"Shit! Nica... please.. tell me, a-are you hurt?"

Hindi ko na napigilan ang aking sarili. I threw my arms around his waist and hugged him tight. I buried my face on his chest. He stiffened, completely frozen.

"Sorry... I'm sorry..." I murmured.

I din't tell him what the sorry was for.

Hindi ko sinabi kung para ba iyon sa ginawa kong kalokohan ngayon, o para sa mga nagyari sa pagitan namin mula ng umalis ako papuntang LA. I didn't tell him.

For me, that sorry was for everything. For my mistakes... sa pag-alis ko ng walang paalam.. sa pagiging duwag ko..

"I'm sorry..."

Nanatili itong tahimik. We remained that way for awhile. Kumilos lamang ito upang tanggalin ang dalawang braso ko na nakayakap sa bewang nito. His face didn't show any emotion when I looked up at him. His eyes remained blank. Yumuko ako, obviosuly hurt by his lack of emotion. I bit my quivering lip. Pinipigilan ko ang mapabunghalit ng iyak.

He let out a sigh. "We'll talk at your house. For now.. let's go back home..."

Umangat ang tingin ko dito. Sinalubong naman nito iyon. One tear fell before I slowly nodded. Hindi ko na ito hinintay, nagpatiuna na lang ako sa paglakad papunta sa aking kabayo. Umangat ang crop top ko ng itaas ko ang dalawang kamay ko para masuportahan ang sarili ko sa pagsampa kay Knight.

Warm fingers grazed my exposed stomach when I was about to hop on my horse.

"I'm riding with you.. on your horse.."

I bit my lip to stop shivering because of the touch.

"Oh... okay.."

The ride back home was torturously slow. Her back is on his chest. One arm is holding the reign while the other one wounds on her waist. He was so near she can aready smell his masculine scent. His warm fingers settled there giving her a wondeful feeling. Parang pinaghehele ako ng mabangong amoy nito at ang mainit nitong kamay sa aking balat. Letting myself go, I closed my eyes and leaned on him, savoring the moment. I wiggled slightly to find a comfortable position.

"Shit! Stop wiggling!" He hissed near my ear. Humigpit ang pagkakahawak nito sa bewang ko.

With eyes still closed, I moaned because of the contact.

He stilled.

"For the love of god. Stop... moaning..." Tila nahihirapang sabi nito.

His breathing became ragged. I could hear his heart beat on his chest making me warm all over, eliciting a throaty moan.

Again, he cursed

I just smiled.

"If you... don't stop this right now.. I'll strip you naked... and make love to you on top of this damn horse... I won't stop until you can no longer wiggle this delectable ass.."

And to prove his point, pinaglandas nito ang isang kamay nitong nasa bewang ko papunta sa gitna ng dalawang hita ko.

My eyes instantly opened. "A-Aiden!" I shouted, gasping for breath. I looked around. Good thing dahil madalas na walang tao sa rutang ito.

He bit my left ear lobe making me moan, again.

"You're making me hot... and bothered..." he rasped as he continue kissing the soft spot at the side of my neck. He pressed my core in his hard bulge making me shout. Kung dahil sa kahihiyan o sa kakaibang pakiramdam na dulot niyon... hindi ko alam.

"Oh god, Aiden!"

He gently sucked the side of my neck he's been kissing for a while now. "You're making me all hot and bothered... It's so hard to control myself when you're this close..." Anas nito bago dahan-dahang iniangat ang kamay pabalik sa bewang ko.

I bit my lip.

I guess making him all hot and bothered is something to look forward to then..

But not until they have that much needed talk..
