La Casa de Carnales 2: Kairo Darwish

Prologue

"ARY, please don't! Don't sleep! Stay with me, I'm begging you." Marahang pinagsasampal ni Kairo ang napakalamig na pisngi ni Ary. Tila nabunutan siya ng tinik nang magmulat ito bagaman ay mabibigat pa rin ang mga mata.

Tiim ang bagang ay tahimik na inobserbasahan niya ang babae. Her whole body was trembling, and he was frightened of the current situation they were in.

Bukod sa manipis na toldang kinahihigaan ay kapwa basa ang kanilang mga damit. With a small light coming from a portable lamp that was now threatening to fade off, and a small tent giving them shelter inside the small cave of uninhabited Island, the thunders roared again to the horizon.

Kahit nasa pinakaloob sila ng naturang kuweba, dahil sa tunog ng matinding hampas ng alon sa baybaying hindi abot ng kanyang paningin ay dama niya kung gaano nangangalit ang karagatan.

Kung gaano nasa bingit ng kamatayan ang babaeng nakasubsob ang kabuoan sa kanya.

Muli, pumikit ang mga mata ni Ary. "I'm cold . . . " she murmured against his chest, her voice was shaking along with her body.

Higit ang hiningang iniangat niya ang pang-itaas na katawan; isinampa ang braso sa kinahihigaan. "Ary, open your eyes. Please . . ." Nag-iinit ang mga mata, niyugyog niyang muli ang balikat nito.

Halos mapaso sa lamig ang palad niya sa paglapat sa basa nitong damit. Bagaman nang biglang tumigil ang panginginig ng katawan nito at hindi na muli pang nagmulat, noon ipinihit ni Kairo ang ulo nito patingala sa kanya saka muli ay mahinang sinampal ito sa pisngi.

Ngunit walang reaksyon. He checked her pulse, even her heartbeat. Unti-unti nang bumabagal ang pintig ng mga iyon.

"f**k! Ary, wake up!" Yugyog sa balikat nito ang ginawa niya. Hindi ito gumalaw. Sa puntong iyon, pumailanlang na ang paglapat ng palad niya sa pisngi ng babae. Marahas na napabaling ang mukha nito pakanan.

Nagmulat na ito. Nanginig muli ang katawan. Nakahinga si Kairo nang maluwag pero sa isip ay sumagi ang katagang sinabi kanina ng mangingisda.

Iho, kailangang maghubad kayo. Saka mo siya yakapin. May isang turista na namatay, dito, mismo sa kweba na ito dahil sa lamig. Kung hindi mo 'yan maagapan . . ..

Sa pagsubsob ni Kairo sa bibig sa noon ay tuyo nang buhok ng babae, mariing pumikit siya saka hustong ikinuyom ang mga kamao. He knew the emergency procedures when it comes to a person who was suffering from hypothermia. And if Ary fell asleep, her blood flow would slow down. And with her condition, she was now in a state where her vital organs might not end up with the required blood flow.

She might end up dead!

"f**k this!"

Noon siya tumayo, dali-daling hinubad ang suot na t-shirt, ang basang cargo shorts at ang suot na thermal pants. He reached for Ary, almost holding up his breath, his lips drawn into a thin line.

Sa paghawak sa laylayan ng longsleeved na damit nito ay nagsalita pa muna si Kairo. "I'm sorry, but I have to do this." He moved up the hem of her shirt, her flat tummy exposed. Isinunod niya ang iba pang damit nito. Not long after, Ary was only on her undergarments.

Kairo closed his eyes for a few seconds. Itanggi man siya sa sarili, unti-unting nagigising ang kanyang p*********i. Her body, it possessed the features that only a man like him could appreciate: small waist, large breast, lean muscles in the arms and legs. Perfect rounded butt and hips; it seemed Ary definitely gave much time to work those out inside the gym. May malaking tattoo rin ito, mula sa balakang hanggang sa ibabang bahagi ng binti. Just like the first time he'd seen it, he wanted to compliment the tattoo, to find out the design.

She also had perfect abs and a belly button --- which he didn't anticipate. Ang tagal nang panahon mula nang makita niya sa malapitan ang tiyan ni Ary.

At doon na natuon ang atensyon niya --- sa bandang ibabang tiyan nito. It was bizarre because something was missing. . . Yet he snapped at the thought when Ary started shaking again, controlling his senses not to make a carnal reaction.

Agad siyang humiga, maingat na itinulak ang ulo nito palapit sa kanyang leeg, marahang ipinalibot ang mga braso, maging ang binti sa katawan ni Ary.

He swallowed hard. Even if her whole body was freezing and so stiffed, Kairo's was the opposite. Mabilis na nagbaga ang katawan niya, lalo't kung nakalapat ang p*********i niyang ngayon ay gising na at lumulubog sa tiyan ng kayakap.

Fuck!  "Uh, A-Ary, are you awake?" Alam niyang hindi ito tulog. Panay pa rin kasi sa pagnginig ang kabuoan nito.

Panay sa pag-ungol nang mahina --- bagay para tumama sa dibdib niya ang mainit nitong hininga. At si Kairo?

Fuck off! Don't think that! Just don't. But still, his c**k pulsated against Ary's belly. Sinabayan iyon nang biglang paggalaw ng balakang ng babae, sinabayan ng pag-ungol.

"Y-You're . . ." usal ni Ary sa kanyang leeg, pabulong. Her voice was still shaking. "H-Hard."

Nakagat ni Kairo ang ibabang labi, pumikit. "I know."

"I-It . . .it makes me . . . f-feel heavy . . . a-and s-sleepy."

Hindi siya umimik. Sa huli, isinubsob na lamang niya ang bibig at ilong sa buhok nito.

The smell of ocean water invaded his nose, but damn! It seemed like a perfume in his sense of smell.

And his shaft throbbed yet again.

"Just hold on, Ary. It's been six hours since I called Anne. The rescue's probably on its way here."

Sukat na tumingala ito sa kanya, hinaplos siya sa pisngi, nangingig pa rin. Her eyes glinted under the dimness of the light above them. "T-There's s-something I w-want to tell . . . you." Isang ungol muli ang tumalilis mula sa lalamunan nito. "A-Ary . . . Your carina . . . she is l-long d-dead."

Bumigat ang paghinga niya. Kairo actually didn't hear what she had said. Nakatuon ang buong atensyon niya sa nangingig na mga labi nito, kung paano iyon nagbukas-sara habang nagsasalita. At kung paanong halos mawala siya sa inhibisyon ay hindi niya alam. Sa isip ay palaging pinapaalalahanan niya ang sarili. Kinokontrol ang sarili.

Dahil may mga kundisyon ito; Ary built a line between them and he ought not to cross it. Isa nga lang namang palabas ang lahat sa kanila.

Isang pagkukunwari, na nitong huli ay tila wala na siyang lakas para panindigan pa.

Funny thing was, Kairo had been desiring for this moment to come. It wasn't right to take advantage --- specifically in this kind of situation, he knew --- life and death. It was indeed the wrong timing at the wrong place.

Gayunman, lalaki lang siya; matagal na panahong nangulila sa babaeng minamahal, sa babaeng kasa-kasama niya, kayakap niya ngayon --- his carina.

Was it wrong if he would just kiss her on the lips?

"K-Kairo, I-I'm n-not who you t-think---"

Tumigil sa pagsasalita si Ary; he brushed his thumb to her lips. Sa pag-awang ng labi nito, tila naging hudyat iyon para tuluyan siyang mawalan ng inhibisyon. It was as if Ary was asking to be kissed.

So, he reached out for her lips with his. Sa unang paglapat ay anong alwan na sa buong pagkatao niya. Na para bang sapat na iyon para mapunan ang matagal na pangungulila.

Yet, Kairo couldn't help it, he moved his lips, slowly . . . gently . . . carefully . . . savoring the moment, tasting the sweetness, sensing the softness of her lips.

Pero nang tumugon si Ary sa halik na iyon, saka lang niya nahinuhang hindi siya humihinga. Kairo started panting as he released the air accumulated in his lungs.

Ang bigat-bigat at ang lakas-lakas ng paghinga niya sa bawat pag-galaw ng kanyang bibig. And it became louder as Ary's hand forcefully pushed the back of his head as if she was giving him permission to deepen the kiss.

He did, sliding his tongue inside her mouth, taunting her's, inviting her to play along.

And damn, she really did take the invitation: biting his lower lip, even.

Sabay silang umungol.

"P-Put your hands on me," she pleaded between their kisses.

Kairo pulled away, enough for him just to see her face.

She looked at him, still shaking. Her eyes were pleading. "F-f**k me, Kairo."
