Claire’s
Thinking about how my parents would react if they knew what happened in the Altamirano’s mansion, they would probably scold me to death, and in the worst-case scenario, they would disown me. What I did was reckless and not so me. I’ve never done that kind of thing ever since. I was always the little good daughter the media adored.
If I won’t confront Sebastian about what he did, I’m sure that won’t be the last. His eyes were full of admiration and lust, I must say. The way he lingered his eyes on me and how it darkened whenever I wear provocative dresses says that he has something going on in his mind. Ramdam ko ang atraksyon niya para sa akin at aaminin ko na nasisiyahan ako doon.
The thing about infidelity is you won’t feel the regret and guilt because you enjoyed it. You enjoyed the thrill of not being caught.
Unable to sleep, I decided to swim to clear my mind. This is actually very effective in making my nerves calm and making me think straight, especially in a situation like this, wherein I was caught between two things: first, my parents’ reaction, second is my irrevocable attraction to my brother-in-law, who’s also showing his interest on me.
Wearing a two-piece bikini in black, I made my way to the back door going to the swimming pool. It was already past midnight; the night air sends shivers to my bones. The cold wind penetrated the robe I’m wearing, I shivered.
The night sky was clear, stars twinkled amidst the darkness making it so refreshing to look at. This is the reason why preferred night than day, it was in the darkness that you see the real beauty. It was in darkness you can measure how bright the stars appear in the sky.
Huminga ako ng malalim at sinamyo ang panggabing hangin. Sana ganito din katahimik ang aking buhay. Sometimes I wished I was born in a family from the province, from those families who were contented on their lives living on a farm. Not that I hated being born in the family that I belonged to now, it’s more like I wish things were a bit simpler.
Huminga ako ng malalim bago hinubad ang roba, umasulto sa balat ko ang malamig na hangin na nagpatindig ng mga balahibo ko. I inhaled deeply before sitting on the edge of the pool. Napapikit ako sa lamig ng tubig nang ilublub ko ang binti sa pool, ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam.
Not content with only my foot on the pool, I jump on the water making a loud splash in the silence of the night. Pumailalim ako sa swimming pool, dinarama ang pag-agos ng mangamba at kalituhan sa aking puso at isip. It was so calm and silent in the water, everything vanished in the background and only the erratic beating of my heart can be heard.
When I felt my lungs were about to explode, I swam to the surface. Hinihingal ako nang naabot ang ibabaw ng pool. Gasping for air I rested my head on the rough edge and closed my eyes. It was a good thing, to let go of all of my worries for just a few minutes.
Nakailang beses akong nagpabalik-balik ng langoy, hinahapo ang katawan ko. After a few strokes, I felt the soreness of my arms and feet and the burning of my lungs. Huminto ako sa gitna ng swimming pool and I let myself float while catching my breath.
Closing my eyes, I let the cold breeze brushed my exposed skin and love the shiver it gives my body.
A loud splash erupted through the night disturbing my peaceful meditation. Agad na napadilat ang mga mata ko at inilibot ito para malaman kung ano ang nangyari at kung saan nanggaling iyon.
Curiosity and suspicion got me when nobody was in sight. Madilim ang paligid kaya hindi ko masyadong naaninag kung may tao ba o wala. Scanning the whole area, my sight landed on the piece of clothing hanging on the lounger a few feet away from where I was. Dumagundong ang dibdib ko nang mapagtanto ko kung ano ‘yon!
Panic rushed when I realized what that splash meant, someone was under the water!
Before I could even swim, a yelp escaped my lips only to die down when my body submerged in the water. Someone just grabbed my feet and dragged me under!
Struggling to let go of my captor, I kicked and punched him with the strength that I have, but my attempt was futile for he was way stronger than I am.
Holding my waist, he enveloped me with his hard arms. Gusto kong sumigaw at makawala sa kanya dahil nauubosan na ako ng hininga.
My mind went blank when I felt a pair of lips pressed against my own. The familiar shiver ran across my body sending havoc into my system. I don’t know but the feeling of danger suddenly disappeared only to be replaced with sensations I’m familiar with. Sensations I only feel to a certain person.
He blew air into my mouth which filled my lungs. Along with the air, his tongue invaded my mouth poking and provoking my own. Hinalikan niya ako sa ilalim ng swimming pool and the fear of being caught made my heart beat even more. The adrenaline rushed together with the tingling sensations poking in every fiber of my body.
He kissed me fervently. Parang uhaw na uhaw siya sa paraan ng paghagod ng labi niya sa mga labi ko, at nadadarang ako sa dala nitong kiliti. He was naked and the warmth of his skin against mine made my center throb in anticipation. All the worries and hesitation were gone, and all I wanted was to feel him.
Nang maubos ang hangin ay hinila niya ako para umahon. I gasped for air when we resurfaced. Mabilis ang t***k ng puso ko hindi dahil sa kawalan ng hangin kun’di dahil sa pakakadikit ng katawan namin.
He was naked and his broad shoulders almost enveloped me. Basang-basa ang mukha niya at mapula ang mga labi. Those red lips just devoured my own a while ago, agad na nag-init ang mukha ko at binawi ko ‘yon sa paghampas sa kaniya.
“Are you crazy? Ano bang nakain mo at ginawa mo iyon? Goodness, Seb you almost gave me a heart attack!” Singhal ko sa kanya nang makabawi sa pagkabigla.
He just chuckled with my violent reaction and tighten his hold on my waist. Doon ko lang natanto na nakahawak pa rin pala ang kamay niya sa bewang ko.
Hinampas ko siyang muli sa dibdib niya. Ang tigas!
“But you enjoyed it. You let me devour those sweet lips, and you can’t deny it to me that you love it,” mahinang bulong niya. Seryoso na ang mukha niya at madilim na nakatitig sa akin.
“Seb! Seryoso ako, hindi mo dapat ginawa ‘yon,” my voice was low. It was already past midnight but the idea of being caught here in the pool with my brother-in-law was eating me. Napalinga-linga ako sa paligid para siguraduhing walang tao.
“Don’t worry, tulog na silang lahat. No one will catch us here if ever…” he drawled his last words. He was implying something on that!
Too occupied with our position and the situation, hindi ko namalayan na nasa gilid na kami ng pool. The concrete edge touched my back and I was trapped with his arms when he rested it on the pool’s edge on my back. Wala akong maatrasan!
Gulping an invisible lump on my throat, I struggled to find the words to scold him, but none came out. Parang nag-aantay lang ako kung ano ang susunod niyang gagawin. The anticipation was too obvious.
Malamig ang tubig pero hindi ko alintana iyon dahil sa init na ibinibigay ng katawan niya. His naked torso was inches away from my body. I put my hands in his chest to stop him from inching, he didn’t budge.
“Tama na, please. You know this is wrong, Seb. I’m your brother’s wife! You know doing this is a betrayal to your brother!” pagalit na asik ko, tinatabunan ang kaba at tension.
“I know, Claire. But damn me for not caring what he will say if ever he finds out. Damn me for wanting you so much.” He caressed my cheeks. His breath is a mixture of alcohol and mint.
“Seb, mali ‘to e, please don’t make it hard for me,” pakiusap ko sa kaniya. I was so torn!
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng idiin niya ang katawan sa akin, naramdaman ko ang matigas na bukol sa aking tiyan.
“I’m the one who’s hard.” He rubbed it into me. Kinuha niya ang mga binti ko sa ilalim ng swimming pool at inikot iyon sa bewang niya. Damang-dama ko ang malaki at matigas n’yang p*********i ng dinudumbol ang bukana ko.
“Please,” daing ko, nasasarapan sa ginagawa niya. Mas lalo pa niyang binilisan ang pagkiskis ng ari niya. I’m still on my bikini but that didn’t lessen the sensation I feel.
He moaned my name while rubbing his shaft.
“f**k, Claire!” He growled and I moaned out loud when I felt my intense release. Hinihinhal ko siyang tiningnan habang nilalabasan siya, I know because he closed his eyes as his body trembled.
Nang mahimasmasan ay tiningnan niya ako deritso sa mga mata.
“Cheat with me, Claire. I want you to let it go and cheat with me. I promise you’ll never regret it,”
