The Sweet Vixen | Vanessa

Chapter 16

Mas lalo kong ipinikit ang mga mata ko noong maramdaman ko na lumundo ang kama dahil sa pagsampa ni Gray. I felt him snaked his arms around my waist at mas hinatak pa ako palapit sakanya kaya ramdam na ramdam ko ang matigas niyang dibdib na nakadikit sa likuran ko.

He planted a soft kiss against my nape before he spoke. "I know that you're still awake, baby..."

Pumasok sa loob ng suot kong t-shirt niya ang kamay niya at unti-unti iyong pinadausdos hanggang sa marating ang ilalim ng dibdib ko.

"Let's talk please?" His voice is now pleading.

Hindi pa ako sigurado. Hindi ko alam kung ito ma ba ang tamang oras para sabihin sakanya ang mga nangyari noon. I'm uncertain but part of me wanted to say everything, para alam niya kung bakit ganito ako.

"Putangina! Ang ganda mo!"

Dumiin ang mga kuko ko sa palad ko sa sobrang pagkakakuyom dahil sa alaalang dumaragsa ulit. Bakit ba binabalikan ako ng mga ganoong alaala!

"Hey, hey." Bigla akong hinawakan ni Gray sa balikat at pilit na iniharap sakanya. "Open your eyes, look at me."

Binuksan ko ang mga mata ko at nagtama ang tingin naming dalawa.

"A-ano..."

"You were shaking. What did you remember? You know that you can tell me."

Umiling ako. "You will hate me..."

"I can never hate you, baby. You know that. And whatever it is that keeps on bothering you, I'll listen and understand."

"I don't know, Gray." Umiwas ako ng tingin sakanya.

"Please, baby... I hate seeing you like this."

Tumingin ako sakanya at alam kong nakikita niya ang pamumuo ng luha sa mga mata ko.

"I was abused." I said with my voice shaking.

He didn't spoke anything and just stayed quiet. Waiting to what I'm going to say next.

"After I met my brother, things started to change. I got caught up in between since it was hard having a half brother. I'm used to visiting my brother in his father's house pero sa lahat ng pagkakataong iyon ay wala ang daddy niya. I don't know why and it didn't really mattered to me since I was young and naive that time." Tumigil ako para sumagap ng hangin. I feel my heart clenching upon remembering these memories.

"I went to their house one time, it was oddly quiet but I still didn't mind. Only the guards greeted me and after I've entered it was so quiet, like no one was there at all. But then after a minute, I heard voices. It came from their basement as I remembered correctly. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako tumuloy at sinundan kung nasaan nanggaling ang mga boses. Then I saw them, they w-were raping a woman. I don't know who the woman was but it made me scream until they saw me."

Hindi ko na namalayang lumuluha na pala ako habang nakasandal sa dibdib ni Gray. He was just embracing me.

"One guy forced me to go with them but I kept on struggling kaya sinampal ako niya ako hanggang sa nanghina ako. I was young and helpless, I didn't know what to do." I sobbed. "After that things got blurry and I don't know what's happening anymore. I just woke up next day, traumatised by what happened. I tried to forget everything, I tried to erase those memories inside my mind and it did disappear, for a while."

"Where you... raped?" Grayson's baritone voice invaded my ears as he asked me that.

Tiningala ko siya at umiling habang lumuluha pa rin. "No, they said that they those men didn't p-penetrate me. And you were my first, Grayson!"

"I know, I know. What I meant is that if they really touched you because if they did, I will fucking hunt them down." His jaw clenched as he gritted his teeth. "What happened after?"

I closed my eyes tightly as the memories kept on running inside my head. I can't believe I'm opening this to him. I mean, Alpha already knows what happened to me, she just wanted me to be open and to let go of those traumatic experiences.

"We broke up and in the middle of that, I discovered that those mens were from a syndicate group, lead by..." I trailed off. "My brother's father."

"The fuck."

"And you won't find those men. They're already dead." I took a deep breath. "Leandro killed them."

"Your brother... what? He's still young!"

"He's young but he's dangerous, Gray. Kaya ako ang nag-aalaga sakanya kahit na si Karen ang guardian niya. I want him to control his temper in order for him to not harm innocent people. I don't want to see him on that state again, when he discovered that those men were his father's men, bigla na lang siyang nagsala and then we discovered something again. That his father was a part of an underground illegal group. He's the only heir of his father but he won't take it. Gusto niyang maging mabuting tao."

"Alam ba to nila Storm?"

Umiling ako at mas idinikit pa ang sarili sakanya. Amoy na Amoy ko ang panlalaki niyang Amoy, ramdam ko rin ang matigas niyang tiyan dahil na rin naroon ang kamay ko.

"Thank you, Gray..."

He kissed the top of my head. "Your too precious to be tainted, baby. I promise that I'll protect you. Hihintayin kita hanggang sa maging handa ka na. I love you..." He whispered the last words but I heard it clearly. Hindi ko naman mapigilan ang sarili ko na mapaluha.

Bigla siyang umalis sa pagkakayakap at tiningnan ako ng may pag-aalala sa mukha. "Hey, hey, why are you crying again? Did I said something wrong?"

I just smiled at him and cupped his face. "I love you, too, Grayson Psyche Illagan. It's always been you. Kahit na sinaktan mo ako. Ikaw pa rin ang laman nito. Wala ng iba."

"S-say that again... Please..." Nabigla ako ng nautal siya. He's eyes are misty and it's like anytime soon at luluha siya.

"You're crying..."

"It doesn't matter. Just please say those words again."

I smiled at him again before planting a soft kiss in his lips. "I love you."

Napasinghap ako ng bigla siyang umalis sa kama at parang baliw na nagsisigaw. Damn, he's gonna disturb the neighbours!

"Grayson! Ang mga kapitbahay!"

"I don't fucking care about them. All I care about is you. And you love me." He's grinning widely like and idiot habang nakatingin sakin.

"Hindi pa kita sinasagot."

"It's fine. I'll wait for you."

I rolled my eyes at his statement bago tumayo at lumapit sakanya. I hugged him at idinikit ang sarili sa katawan niya. "Kaya nga. Sinasagot na kita."

My eyes widened in shock when he grinned widely and pushed me to bed. Bago pa ako makaalis ay dumagan na siya sakin. Pinning me against the bed. My breathing suddenly went rugged as I saw him lick his lips and the lust in his eyes were so clear.

"I'm gonna make love to you until you cannot walk anymore. Now that we're official, hindi kita titigilan. Ilang taon mo rin akong pinaghintay."

Napasinghap ako ng bigla niyang inangat ang damit ko. Wala pa naman akong suot na bra!

"Grayson!"
