That was not Tessa's first kiss. But Ramil's lips really made her lose herself.
That kiss was only for a moment, but she felt a strong electric voltage that seemed to travel through every fiber of her body.
"Are you okay?" Ramil’s voice opened Tessa's eyes.
She saw Ramil staring at her as his black eyes twinkled like stars in the dark sky.
"It's late, how do you like coming to my place? It’s not far from here. Walking distance, if you know what I mean," he said to her, then again planted a simple kiss on her still slightly opened mouth.
Tessa once again reacted to Ramil's audacity.
She only felt like this to Arthur. And what she wonders is how this man is able to give her these feelings even though he is a stranger to her.
"What do you think?" he asked her again when she remained silent.
At that time Tessa seem unknowing to glance at the wristwatch she was wearing. And then she sighed and then looked up at the man.
"All right," she answered.
The beautiful smile on Ramil's lips touched Tessa's heart.
What is happening to me?
She asked herself to wonder.
*****
“You live here?” she immediately asked Ramil after they got out of the car she was carrying.
He nodded and then went out of the car. Then he went around to the driver's seat and opened the door for her.
"Thank you," she said.
Tessa expected Ramil to kiss her when they entered his house. But that didn't happen. Instead, he asked her to down and offered her something to drink. And because she was tired from walking and seemed to have worn off the alcohol she drank at the bar, she opted to ask the man for a beer.
"Are you alone here?" she asked.
At that moment, only the corner lamp served as a torch for the two of them. And Tessa couldn't deny that she was gradually feeling a strong desire for this man.
"Of course! Why, do you think I'm like your ex-boyfriend?" Ramil said then brought the canned beer he was holding to his lips.
Tessa let out a small laugh and then shook her head to drink the beer.
“Why, isn't it? Are you single?” she asked consecutively.
Ramil moved from the single chair he was sitting on and moved to her side.
Just like before, the young lady felt the unfamiliar nervousness in her chest again. Or maybe it's more correct to say that she only felt that with Arthur before so it wasn't familiar to her.
"Do you want an honest answer?" Ramil asked her.
Tessa's beautiful eyebrows rose and then finished the contents of the can of beer she was holding.
"Who doesn't like honesty?" she said, biting her lower lip, then giving the young man a seductive look. The kind that she knew he couldn’t resist.
Tessa saw that Ramil was affected by her actions. She smiled again and then gazed at the perfect beauty in front of her.
"I cannot deny that I am a liberated woman, Ramil. And I started to be like that since I experienced being hurt by the man I loved the most. I do one night stand and I love it. I'm a great fan of hard and rough sex. And I can say I'm very good in bed. But despite all that, I have never once again experienced being associated with a married man," her long litany then laughed softly again after the last thing she said because she suddenly remembered Joaquin.
That's when Ramil grabbed her waist and then moved closer to him. And on the very moment that their bodies touched, Tessa quickly felt a warm feeling that seemed to be slowly engulfing her.
"If you want honesty, that's what I'll give you," he said to her as he parted her hair and then bowed her neck and gently kissed it.
Tessa took a violent breath and let it out as soon she felt Ramil's warm lips on her skin. And he wasn't even satisfied with that part of her neck. Because it didn't take long for the other side to follow. And that's how she reacted again.
"Right now I have four bed partners," he said to her.
Tessa's loud laughter filled the whole house after what she heard.
"My god! Are you a sex god?!” she asked incredulously. "Where do you get all your energy from?" she asked, wrapping one arm around Ramil's neck and then beginning to play with her fingers on his nape.
Ramil's violent breathing reached Tessa's ears. And just like before, she enjoyed it.
"Are you okay with that?" he asked her.
Nagkibit ng kaniyang mga balikat si Tessa. Pagkatapos niyon ay nagbuka siya ng bibig para magsalita. “Alright, basta huwag mo ring hahanapin sa akin na magiging loyal ako sa iyo. As I have said, I love one night stands.”
Umangat ang sulok ng mga labi ni Ramil matapos ang sinabi niyang iyon.
“I’m good to that,” anito.
After hearing what Ramil said, he immediately bent down and finally claimed her lips for a violent kiss. And just like before, the strange sensation she was feeling seemed to be permanent even though it was intensifying.
It's like there's no tomorrow the way Ramil kisses her.
In a way as if he didn't want to waste every second they were together. And that gave Tessa a reason to be aggressive and use all the methods she knew on the man to make him even crazier about her.
Yes, and she is used to being desired and driven crazy by the men she has sex with. What she couldn't understand was what this person possessed to make her feel this way.
"So," said Tessa, breathing heavily when her lips were released from Joaquin's violent claim on them. "This means you are single? You don't have a serious relationship?” she asked him.
Ramil shook his head consecutively, then in a hurry, he lowered the tube dress she was wearing and gathered it around her waist.
"Yeah you are right," he answered her then bent down to the top of her chest and kissed it.
“Oh!” Tessa couldn't help but say it because of the burning feeling that Ramil's act sent her.
“You still need to know a lot about me, lovely. But for now, what we are going to do is enough to everything that I have said," he said as he unhooked the bra she was wearing and dropped it on the floor.
"If that is the case then let's indulge ourselves in something that we both love," was her meaningful reply as she pulled the back of the head of the absent man whose face was almost an inch away from her.
The two of them shared a passionate kiss after that. No one spoke because only breathing and murmurs of happiness gradually filled Ramil's apartment.
The young man's kisses trailed down her neck and finally her breast where his lips and mouth feasted on grazing there.
"God, you have a very dangerous mouth and tongue!" she moaned as Ramil ran his tongue over the tip of her right breast.
