KNIGHTS I-7: Thirst of the Supreme (Dagger Knights)

Chapter 17

Saellyn opened her eyes upon hearing noises outside the car. Agad siyang luminga sa paligid at napatakip ng bibig nang ma-realize na nakatulog siya sa byahe nila ng binata.

She glanced at the store in front before looking at the seat beside her.

Nasagot ang pagtataka niya nang makita ang lalaki na lumabas mula roon. He's holding a plastic bag filled with food.

Sinundan niya ito ng tingin hanggang sa tuluyang makasakay ng sasakyan. He placed the bag in front before looking at her.

"You're awake?"

She nodded. "Sorry, hindi k-ko alam na nakatulog pala ako."

Hinaplos nito ang buhok niya atsaka ngumiti nang marahan. "It's fine. Pagod ka. You can continue your sleep, I'll wake you up once we reached another plaza. The nearest one is currently close."

Mapagpaumanhin niya itong tinitigan. "Sorry."

He let out a chuckle before kissing her right cheek. "Ayos nga lang."

Nang magsimula na itong magmaneho ay marahan siyang yumakap sa isang braso nito at doon sumandal. "Hindi na ako matutulog, promise."

"Hmm? You can sleep more if you're tired," he replied. "May shoot ka pa mamaya."

"Ikaw rin naman, ah." Bumangon siya at hinarap ang lalaki. "Parang ang tagal magkita nila Friella at Clark 'no?"

"You haven't read the script?"

She shook her head.

"Silly, we're going to shoot our first scene next week."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ng babae nang marinig 'yon. She haven't read the next pages of the script that's why she's not aware of it.

"Really? Kailan naman kami magsasampalan ni Madelaine? Excited na ako doon," she joked around causing him to chuckle.

"Should I change the script?"

Her eyes widened a little. "You can do that, right?"

Tumango ang lalaki sa kaniya. "I can even change some of our scenarios and put a lot of kissing scenes."

"Dagger!" Hinampas niya ito sa braso na ikinatawa lang ng lalaki. "Ang pilyo mo."

"Gagawin ko talaga 'yon," pang-aasar pa rin nito na ikinasimangot niya.

"Isusumbong kita kay Ari."

"Go on, wala namang magagawa 'yon. Gusto mo halikan pa kita dito ngayon."

Muli niya itong hinampas sa braso pero bago niya pa magawa 'yon ay nahuli na nito ang kamay niya.

Her eyes widened when he used his one hand to park the car on the side before pulling her. 'Saka lang siya natulala nang maramdaman ang mga labi ng lalaki sa mga labi niya.

She tried pushing him but he just held her waist and pulled her even more to deepened the kiss. Wala na siyang ibang nagawa kung 'di ang sumuko sa pagtulak dito.

Napakapit siya nang mahigpit sa mga balikat ng lalaki nang maramdaman ang agresibong paghalik nito sa kaniya. He kept on biting her lower lip and licking it afterwards, she has no choice but to kiss back even if she don't know how to do it.

"Open your mouth, baby," he whispered before kissing her again.

Sinunod naman niya kaagad ang sinabi ng lalaki Bahaya niyang pinaghiwalay ang mga labi para sundin ang gusto nito. She immediately shut her eyes tightly when she felt his tongue inside her mouth.

"Ahm," she moaned a little when he started caressing her waist.

Hindi niya alam kung paano patitigilin ang lalaki dahil nagugustuhan niya na rin ang ginagawa nito. But this is not right, for her, they're not even dating.

Humiwalay ang lalaki sa kaniya bago mariing titigan ang namumula niyang labi. "Tangina." He raised his hand to caress her lower lip using his thumb.

"Ang ganda mo, tangina, nakakabaliw ka."

Namula ang mga pisngi niya bago dahan-dahang humiwalay sa lalaki. Ngunit hindi niya pa iyon tuluyang nagagawa ay muli na naman siya nitong hinapit at hinalikan.

He's kissing her like he can't get enough and the sensation is making her insane.

Dagger held both of her cheeks as he bit her upper lip, he sucked her lower lip after getting satisfied. Halos hindi na siya makahinga nang pakawalan siya ng lalaki.

She sat silently on her seat as he continue driving.

"Wala k-ka man lang bang sasabihin?" she awkwardly asked while holding her swollen lips.

"I might do something once you continue talking, Saellyn."

His eyes are dark and she can see his veins popping out. Parang may pinipigilan ito.

Hindi naman siya tanga para magpaka-inosente sa sitwasyon nila ngayon.

"Are you, ahm, turned on?"

He glanced at her for a few seconds. "I will never sexualize you, Saellyn. I don't want to do that."

"But why do you l-look so upset?"

"Isang tanong pa, hindi na talaga kita palalabasin ng kotse ko. Mas mamamaga pa 'yang mga labi mo." She quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from talking.

Malugod na lang siyang tumango at sumandal sa katawan ng lalaki na agad naman siyang niyakap sa baywang. He's driving using his one hand while hugging her gently.

He said he will never sexualize her. Does it mean that Dagger is not attracted to her?

"Stop those nonsense things, baby. I know exactly what you're thinking about. I respect you too much that I can't even sexualize you, and I'll assure you everyday that I will never do something that you don't like."

Napakahawak siya sa dibdib nang maramdaman ang mabilis na pagtibok non. He respects her?

It's the first time she heard that.

"Can we t-talk about the kiss?" pangungulit niya.

Bahagya itong tumawa. "Later."

"Bakit later?"

"Kapag hindi na namamaga 'yan."

She frowned. "I said we're going to talk, not kiss, again."

"Talking for me means kissing," he replied.

"No," she uttered.

"Okay."

Nilingon niya ito at hinalikan sa pisngi. "Let's go to the plaza. I want to eat a lot of foods."

Dagger smiled sweetly at her. "I'll buy you everything you want as long as it will make you happy. Forget about the issue for a while, okay?"

Tumango siya at ngumiti pabalik sa lalaki.

"Laro tayo sa arcade mamaya, ha?"

"Whatever you want, baby."

Masaya siyang sumandal sa katawan nito at pinanood na lamang ang kalsada. Sa dami ng emosyong nararamdaman niya ngayon, hindi niya na ma-explain kung gaano siya kasaya.

Basta't ang alam niya lang, ito ang pinakamasayang bagay na naranasan niya sa buong buhay niya.
