RAVEN
Men of Valor Series 1
HE TASTED so good. She melted against him instantly. She had been wanting his kiss since yesterday and now…and now, she wished he would go on kissing her forever.
She had never been moved by any other man’s kisses, but this man, this rough, hardbitten criminal was making her melt like cream with the slow and skillful movements of his mouth on hers. He did not devour her. He savored her by slowly licking her and tenderly working his tongue past her soft lips, tasting her like the leche flan they just shared.
He hauled her up and positioned her astride him while he sat on the floor, his back against a sofa. Pinaglaro nito ang mga daliri sa kanyang mahabang buhok at muling kinabig para halikan ng mas maalab. This time he did devour her. His kisses became deeper, greedy and ravenous. And she loved it! She wanted more!
"Bia…" he rasped as he looked at her face framed between his big callused hands.
Then his hands traveled down her neck, her shoulders and finally, they rested on her breasts.
She gasped faintly. Wala siyang bra kaya ramdam niya ang paghagod nito sa kanyang mga nipples. She arched against him, feeling an aching urgency inside her body that she hadn’t felt before. It pooled between her legs in hot, delicious ripples of liquid heat.
And then she became aware of another urgency. His urgency. She could feel him pushing up between her legs, hard, pulsating, huge. The intimacy of their position made her blush. She was riding his lap and his hands were cupping her breasts while his mouth laved the twin peaks through her thin shirt. Bumakat ang mga munting korona nang mabasa ng laway nito. The sight was so erotic and she couldn’t look away. She moved her hips in a grinding motion against his hardness. He groaned and pushed up against her.
Narinig niyang nagmura ito, tinawag ang kanyang pangalan. Bigla siyang binitiwan ni Rav, inalis siya mula sa kandungan nito at tumayo. Marahas ang paghinga nito at hindi maitago ang reaksiyon ng katawan nito sa kanya. His bulging fly said it all. She felt a giddy sense of power over him as a woman. He wanted her. That she was sure of. Since yesterday she had been helpless and under his power. But now, he seemed rattled.
And then she realized. Sa labanang ito… ay may laban siya. A surge of forbidden excitement suffused her.
Kinulekta ni Rav ang mga platitong ginamit nila at walang imik na dinala sa kusina. Naiwan siya sa sala at naglalaro ang ngiti sa kanyang mga labi.
Ah, she had gained her aces back.
Sinundan niya sa kusina si Rav. Nakatanaw sa labas ng bintana ang lalaki, humihithit ng sigarilo. Nagulat siya. He smoked? Noon lamang niya ito nakitang nanigarilyo. Men usually smoked to relieve tension. Lalo siyang napangiti. She had thrown him off-balance. Lalong lumakas ang loob niya at nadagdagan ang kumpiyansa niya sa sarili. She should play her cards right.
"Rav?" malambing na tawag niya dito.
Hindi ito lumingon o tuminag sa kinatatayuan. "I’m not going to apologize for it, Bia." Anito sa mababang tono.
"I don’t want you to."
Hindi ito umimik.
"How much are you going to ransom me?"
"Fifty million pesos."
Napasinghap siya, nalaglag ang baba. Hindi niya akalaing ganoon kalaking halaga ang kakailanganin para matubos siya! H’wag na lang kaya siyang magpatubos, suhestyon ng traidor na tinig sa kanyang utak. Mamumulubi ang ama niya ng di-oras! "Gan’on! Ang laki niyon ah! Hindi ‘yon mapo-produce kaagad ni Daddy!"
Saka lamang humarap sa kanya si Rav. He looked cool and calm again. "You will be surprised at how much your father loves you, Bia. He will produce the money, alright."
She didn’t doubt what he said. Kahit ano ang mangyari, alam niyang hindi siya pababayaan ng kanyang ama. Pero ayaw niyang mamrublema ang kanyang Daddy kung saan ito kukuha ng ganoon kalaking halaga ora-orada. Kawawa naman ito. Tiyak na nag-aalala na ito ng husto ngayon. Kasalanan talaga niya. Kung nakinig lang siya dito at nanahimik na lang muna sa kanilang bahay imbes na naglalalabas, hindi sana siya mati-tiyempuhan ng mga kidnappers.
Lumakad siya palapit kay Rav. "Uhm, pwedeng maki-negotiate?"
He watched her, but didn’t make a move. "You are not in the position to negotiate, sweetheart. I call all the shots here."
"Kailangan mo ba talaga ng pera, Rav?"
He smiled sarcastically. "What do you think? Magpapakapagod ba akong kunin ka sa mga naunang kumidnap sa ‘yo kung wala akong mapapala?"
Gusto nang umurong ni Bianca. What she was going to do was crazy! Pero siya talaga ang may kasalanan kung bakit siya nakidnap. Hindi yata niya maatim na mamulubi ang Daddy niya dahil sa kanya. Well, hindi naman actually mamumulubi pero malaking halaga ang fifty million sa isang bigayan lang. She would find a way to get out of this mess without involving her father.
"Alam mo bang may personal assets ako?"
He looked at her chest. "I can see that."
She smiled up at him seductively, knowingly. Sana’y totoo ang nakikita niyang pagnanasa sa mga mata nito. It was her trump card. "I will ransom myself. May sarili akong pera sa bangko na mga limang milyon. Para sana sa expansion ng negosyo ko ‘yon pero ibibigay ko na lang sa ‘yo."
His eyes widened a fraction, then he laughed. "Fifty million against five million, babe. Do the maths."
"My father will be running for the elections next year. Kailangan niya ang pera. H’wag mo na lang ako i-ransom sa kanya, please? I swear, I will give you five million in cash, kahit bukas na bukas din. Please, Rav." She pleaded using her feminine charm. Pinapungay niya ang mga mata.
His brows rose sardonically. "And what do I get in exchange for my forfeited forty-five million?"
She swallowed. "Me."
Lalong tumaas ang mga makakapal na kilay nito."You?"
Kamuntik na siyang talunin ng hiya. Itinaas niya ang noo. "Yes, me. I know you want me."
He slowly dragged from his cigarrete and as he spoke, he exhaled thin smoke in between words. She stared at him with fascination. She hated smokers. But the way he smoked was so masculinely sexy! Nag-palpitate lalo ang puso niya.
"I would want any available beautiful woman, sweetheart. Libog lang ‘to. Mairaraos ko ito sa ibang babae. Ng libre."
Namula si Bianca. She felt like a hooker, bargaining with the bastard for her sexual services!
Ngumisi ito. "Saka kapag may limampung milyon na ako, all the beautiful babes will come to
me willingly. Kahit artista pa sa ganda. Bakit ako magti-tiyaga sa ‘yo? Ano’ng meron ka na wala sila?"
Nainsulto ang beauty niya. Namaywang siya. "Ang cheap mo ha! Magti-tiyaga ka sa mga ‘yon? Para ka na ring bumili ng prosti. Mamahalin nga lang. Pero ang dami ng nauna sa ‘yo."
"Bakit, ano’ng pagkakaiba mo at ng mga babaing ‘yon? I will also buy you. Saksakan ka rin ng arte at kapritso. At marami na ring nauna sa akin."
Napamulagat si Bianca, lalong na-offend. "Aba’t hoy…!"
He smirked at her. "Hmm?"
"Virgin pa ako, ‘no!" sigaw niyang namumula.
He raked her with a malicious leer. "Really, huh?" anitong nanunuya at hindi naniniwala. "Aren’t you taking this a bit too far, sweety?"
Nanghahamong tiningnan niya ang lalaki. "Why don’t you find out for yourself?"
He smiled lecherously. "Ah, such a tempting offer."
Iniliyad ni Bianca ang dibdib. Satisfaction gauranteed."
"Satisfaction gauranteed. " Hinimas nito ang baba na parang nag-isip. "Bakit, may warranty ba ‘yan? Kung hindi ako masiyahan, the deal is off?"
Maha-high blood talaga siya lagi sa impaktong ito! Grrrr! "Aba, masaya ka! Pwede ba ‘yon! Walang warranty! No return no exchange!"
He chuckled, thoroughly amused now.This time he raked her body with a very masculine appraisal, lingering on her breasts down to the juncture of her thighs. She didn’t shrink away from his gaze. She was in fact basking in her feminine sensuality. She felt like a flower blooming in response to his blatant desire.
"Really? Virgin ka pa?" he drawled after a while. "Sa tanda mong ‘yan? I don’t believe you."
Romantic kasi ako, gusto niyang isigaw dito. Nais niyang sa lalaking mahal niya ipagkakaloob ang sarili pero ang pihikang puso niya ay ayaw ma-in-love. No man had ever excited her to the point of giving herself to him. Only this man. This lowdown criminal who was giving her the most exciting and tittilating conversation of her entire life!
Ngumiti siya ng mapang-akit. "There is only one way to find out, isn’t it, Raven? At kapag nangyari ‘yon, no return no exchange. I will have your word on it."
"I am a criminal, sweetheart. Wala akong isang salita. I don’t have an ounce of honor in my body. I could just rape you."
She looked him straight in the eye, not at all bothered by what he said. "No, you won’t."
"How do you know? Hindi mo ako kilala."
At this point, she knew that he would never hurt her. "I just know."
Ilang minuto bago ito nagsalita. "No, thanks. I don’t like virgins. Masyadong makiyeme sa kama at walang alam. I like my women hot and experienced in the sack."
Gustong maglaho ni Bianca sa balat ng lupa nang mga sandaling iyon. Aba’t tinanggihan siya ng impaktong ito?! It was the biggest insult of her life! Siya, si Bianca Allejandro, anak ng senador, isang heredera, titulada, maganda, sopistikada at hinahabol-habol ng mga most eligible bachelors ng buong Maynila ay ni-no-no-thanks-no-thanks lang ng antipatikong kidnapper na ito?! As if good catch ito?! Ito nga sana ang maswerteng lalaking makaka-devirginize sa kanya, a lowdown criminal for crying out loud! Tinatanggihan siya nito?! Hindi yata niya ma-take ang insultong ito!
Namaywang siya, umuusok na yata ang ilong niya sa inis. "Hindi ako makiyeme sa kama, impakto ka!"
He chuckled even more. "Talaga? Hindi mo alam ‘yan. Wala ka pang karanasan. Virgin ka pa, ‘di ba?"
"Promise, hindi talaga!" giit niyang namumula na sa embarrassment. Napaka-weird na ng tinatakbo ng conversation nila. Susme, siya ang namimilit na mag-do sila! Never in a million years did she envision herself making such an indecent proposition to a man!
Hinimas nito ang baba at pinag-aralan ang bawat kurbada ng kanyang katawan. "Hindi ako bumibili ng sasakyan na hindi ko naro-road test, sweetheart. So unless na mag-pa-test drive ka muna at satisfied ako, I ain’t buying the merchandise."
Road test! Walang-hiya talaga! Ipinareha pa siya sa sasakyan! Gigil na lumapit siya dito at sinapak sa dibdib ang lalaki.
He laughed and started to walk away from her. "I ain’t buying."
"Alright!" habol niya dito.
Nilingon siya ni Rav. "Alright, what?"
"Magpapa-test drive ako." Aniya saka lalong namula.
Muli siyang hinarap nito. Sumeryoso na ang mukha.
Muli siyang namawang. "Well? Kelan mo ako iro-road test, Mr. Kidnapper? Magaling ka ba namang magmaneho?" hamon niya.
Tinalikuran siya ng llaki, tinungo ang pinto.
Sinundan ito ni Bianca hanggang sa may main door ng sala. "Hoy, teka! Saan ka pupunta?"
"I’ll be gone for awhile. H’wag mo nang ulitin ang ginawa mo kanina kundi malilintikan ka na sa akin."
"B-but…what about my proposal?"
He sniffed infront of her. "Maligo ka muna, amoy-pawis ka na. Baka mamaya, pag mabango ka na, gaganahan akong i-road test ka, kahit virgin ka."
Bago pa nakasagot si Bianca ay nakalabas na ito ng pinto. He slammed the door on her face.
Inamoy niya ang sarili nang makaalis si Rav. Pinawisan nga siya sa mahaba niyang hike kanina pero hindi naman siya mabaho. Kanina nga lang ay pinapapak siya nito na parang mauubusan! Wala pang lalaking nagreklamo sa amoy niya! Lagi siyang mabango! Kadalasan ay tatlong beses siyang mag-shower sa isang araw at lagi siya sa parlor! Naalala niya ang paborito niyang parlor. Na-miss tuloy niyang magpaganda.
Inis na tinungo niya ang banyo at naligo. Super-kuskos siya sa lahat ng parte ng kanyang katawan habang minumura sa isip si Rav.
RICH & FAMOUS
Mine To Take
HE WALKED through the restaurant like the king that he was.
Tony "The Conqueror" Phoenix, holder of three major world titles in billiards this year and recently declared as the Grandmaster of Pool for three consecutive years by the prestigious Billiard League of America, looked like he just stepped out of a GQ ad. He was as usual with his trademark companion, a tall female with the vital stats worthy of a men’s magazine centerfold.
Umupo ang pares sa isang nakareserbang mesa sa isang panig ng restaurant. Lumapit ang matre d’ at ito mismo ang kumuha sa mga order ng dalawa.
One look at him and she, Jennifer Arenas, an established businesswoman now owning a franchise of bakeshops in the whole of Mindanao, an independent woman at the age of twenty four, became once again the blushing teenager who was once madly in-love with Tony Boy. The feeling absolutely terrified her. Hindi na siya dapat makaramdam ng ganoon para sa lalaking ito. Kaytagal na nilang hindi nagkita. Pero parang kailan lang ‘yon. Parang kahapon lang.
She squirmed uncomfortably in her seat. Bakit ba dito siya sa restaurant na ito nakipagtagpo kay Bliss? Gusto na tuloy niyang umalis at lumipat ng lugar. Hindi na yata siya makakatagal sa isang lugar na iyon na kasama si Tony Boy.
Pero hindi niya mapigil ang sarili na muling tapunan ng tingin ang kinaroroonan nito. Lord, he was still the same, only he was more mature now, his features more angularly pronounced.
Handsome was not the word that would describe Tony Boy now. He wasn’t the pretty boy that he was six years ago anymore . He had the looks of a rebel now, with his longish dark brown hair that brushed the collar of his khaki polo shirt. He still had his trademark five o’clock shadow that had graced a number of magazines all over the world and the smoldering hazel eyes with the longest eyelashes that could stare a woman into sweet surrender.
Her thoughts absolutely mortified her. Hindi na siya dapat na mag-isip pa nang ganito tungkol kay Tony Boy. Nakaraan na niya ang lalaking ito. Dapat na niyang ilibing sa limot ang anumang alaala nito. Wala na siyang dapat pang isipin kundi si Donny, ang gwapo, mabait, mapagmahal at responsible niyang fiancé. Sa loob ng dalawang buwan ay ikakasal na sila ni Donny. And they would live happily ever after.
Iginiit niya ang isiping iyon sa kanyang utak sa mga sandaling iyon. Kailangan niyang pagtibayin ang pagmamahal niya kay Donny. Pero sadyang may parte ng kanyang kamalayan na traydor.
Marc Anthony Phoenix was her first love.
It had been six long years since that painful event that changed their lives forever.
Pinanlamigan ng mga kamay si Jenny. Hindi na siya mapakali sa nerbiyos. Bakit naman ang tagal ni Bliss?
Again, she stole a glance at Tony Boy. He was laughing merrily with his companion, his eyes crinkling at the corners.
Lord, but he looked devastatingly gorgeous! Six years ago, she had one very memorable night with this man whom she had loved with all her heart. But he left her to pursue his international career as a professional billiard player.
Umasa siyang ipaglalaban nito ang kanilang pagmamahalan. Against all odds. Pero mas pinili nitong bumalik sa Amerika. Mas pinili nito ang buhay na hindi siya kasama. He had not loved her enough. If he ever loved her at all, she thought as old wounds opened painfully inside her.
Malayo na ang narrating ni Tony Boy magmula nang iwan siya nito. Hindi ito nagkamali ng pinili. Without her to hamper his ambitions, he had carved his own niche as one of the greatest pool players of the world, winning titles in different countries, earning a kind of fame and respect unlike any other of his generation. Inirerepresenta nito ang bansang Amerika sa mga tournaments pero kailanman ay hindi nakalimot si Tony Boy na banggitin ang Pilipinas bilang bansang sinilangan nito sa mga interviews nito. Kaya naman proud na proud ang mga Pilipino dito.
Pagkalipas ng maraming taon ay magkukurus ang mga landas nila nang ganito. Tony Boy looked like he didn’t have a care in the world, whereas her world was just about to come crashing down on her, so agitated she was by his presence! Hindi na siya makakatagal. Kailangang makalayo siya sa lugar na iyon kaagad. Tumayo siya at dire-diretsong tinungo ang entrada ng restaurant.
God, don’t let him see me. Or maybe he won’t recognize me. Kayrami nang mga babaing dumaan sa buhay nito. She was probably one of his past easy conquests. Discarded and forgotten like his old clothes.
Limang metro na lang at makakalabas na siya ng restaurant.
"Jenny? Is that you?"
Oh God! Hindi siya lumingon at lalong binilisan ang kanyang paglakad. Nakalabas siya ng restaurant. Pero hindi siya nakalayo. Tony Boy was right after her. He grabbed her arm and spun her around.
His face broke into a heart-stopping grin. "Jennifer." He breathed her name like a sigh.
Her heart seemed to have stopped beating. What was a girl to do when a man whom she had loved years ago, the same man who abandoned and broke her heart to pieces suddenly appeared in her life again?
MEN OF VALOR SERIES 2
DAX
RIANNA saw him sitting in the gazebo later that night, as usual, working on his laptop. Nagpahanda ng isang masaganang dinner si Russel para sa lahat ng mga tao sa Valdeverro mansion bilang blow-out sa pagkapanalo nito sa basketball kanina. It was like a party. Dax never came near her all night. He had avoided her like a plague. She still couldn’t get over the fact na total deadma siya sa lalaking ito.
She started wondering if he was really a bodyguard or some corporate exec who just loved wearing tough guy outfits. But the deadly-looking gun casually lying on top of the table within his easy reach erased her doubts. She had never been with the rough and tumble kinda guys. She always went out with smooth, sophisticated men-about-town types. Dax was the dark horse among her pack of golden stallions. Untamed. Yet, anyway.
But not for long. Before she finished with him, she would be nibbling sugar from her hands.
“Hi,’ malambing na bati niya dito nang malapitan ito sa kinauupuan.
“I’m busy, Rianna,” he said curtly, not even giving her a glance.
She gnashed her teeth, insulted. Pero nagtimpi siya. “I brought you some apple pie,” aniya na itinago ang pagkainis sa likod ng matamis niyang boses.
“Busog pa ako.”
Ngani na lang na isalpak niya ang apple pie sa ulo nito. Jerk talaga! Nagmumukha na siyang tanga. Wala pang lalaki ang pinagsilbihan niya nang ganito! Siya ang pinagsisisilbihan ng mga ito!
Nagtimpi pa rin siya. Maingat niyang inilapag sa mesa ang platito ng apple pie. “Baka mamaya gutumin ka, iiwan ko na lang ito dito.”
Hindi ito umimik.
Nanatili siyang nakatayong parang engot sa tabi nito. He looked like he was not going to waste time exchanging idle talk with her. Patuloy ito sa pagtipa sa laptop nito. He was studying some colorful graphs on the screen and lots of numbers. “Uhm, what are you doing?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” sagot nito as if istupido ang tanong niya.
Ooooh grrrr! “Okay, you’re working, I know. But on what?” Umupo siya sa katabing silya nito at nakitingin sa screen ng laptop.
“It’s complicated. You won’t understand.”
“Try me,” she said huskily. Bobo siya sa math. But she would pretend interest in what he was doing if he’d only look at her. And smile. Just one smile. Napakamahal ng ngiti ng lalaking ito. He was always brooding and scowling at her.
Noon siya nilingon ni Dax. His eyes were intense but they had a wicked glint in them that made her heart palpitate faster.
Sumandal ito sa backrest ng kinauupuan at pinasadahan siya ng tingin mula ulo hanggang baywang, nagtagal sa kanyang dibdib. “Are you coming on to me, Rianna?”
Napasinghap siya sa tanong nito, natorete. Sobrang prangka naman nito! Apparently, subtlety didn’t belong in his virtues, if he had any at all! His eyes challenged her. Her hackles rose all the more. “And if I am?” she retorted, he chin raised a bit.
Ilang segundo itong tumitig sa kanya bago nagsalita. “Are you that easy?”
She blinked at him, shocked. Ano daw?! Her repertoir of smooth lines had not prepared her for such a blatant question. But she had the gift of the gab. She was making lots of money out of her wit. So inhale and relax, dear. You can handle him. “Are you?”
Ngumisi ito nang nang-uuyam. “Believe me, you won’t have to be begging like a cheap broad if I were, honey.”
Her cool demeanor evaporated like smoke. “How dare you! You flatter yourself! I’m not begging! I never beg!”
“Oh yeah?” He eyed the apple pie skeptically. “Then what are you doing? Rianna the princess serving me, the hired help? Are you that desperate?”
Tumayo siya, nanggagalaiti na sa inis. “Nagmamagandang-loob lang ako! Kung ayaw mo, ‘di ‘wag mo!”
He sat there relaxed as he casually shredded her ego to pieces. “You got that right. Ayaw ko. Sa ‘yo.” He enunciated the last words firmly. “Save your honey, sweety, I ain’t tempted.”
Hindi nakaimik si Rianna. Her confidence suddenly took a deep nosedive. No man had ever dissed her so brutally and so bluntly like that! It was so humiliating she wanted to cry right there and then. She sniffed and blinked her eyes rapidly. Wala pang lalaking nakapagpaiyak sa kanya maliban sa namatay niyang ama at ang Kuya Russell niya! I won’t cry! I won’t!
Dax picked up the fork and took a slice of the apple pie and slowly brought it to his mouth. He watched her as he chewed leisurely. “Masarap pala.”
Sari-saring emosyon ang lumukob sa kanya habang nakatitig sa lalaki. She had never felt the urge to slap someone’s face before and kiss him senseless at the same time! The man was so infuriating and so damned…sexy! She fought to regain her composure. Don’t get mad, dear. Get even! She smiled at him seductively, unleashing her legendary charm that no man before had ever managed to resist.
“I am much better than that,” she said boldly. She had never used that line before. She never had to. Men had always been so easy.
He raised a brow. “Credit me for more taste.”
Pakiramdam niya ay binigyan siya nito ng mag-asawang sampal. But the more he insulted her, the more she was challenged to prove him wrong. Iniliyad niya ang dibdib. “You don’t know what you’re missing.”
“Dumb blondes have absolutely no appeal to me. Specially fake blondes. They bore me to death.”
My God! That, she could never take! Blonde ang tina ng buhok niya. She was known in Metro Manila’s elite ‘in’ crowd as the hippiest, most glamorous blonde! Trademark na niya iyon mula noon.
“Most especially hysterical, fake blondes,” he added with a sneer.
Inside, she was like an erupting volcano. Ang kapal! Grabehhh! Feeling God’s gift to women na animo langaw kung pitikin palayo ang mga babae kung ayaw! Ang mga lalaking ganito ay salot sa mundo niya bilang modernong babae. Dapat sa mga ito ay tirisin, dikdikin at gawing feeds ng mga hayop!
“I’m not dumb, you idiot,” she was screaming at him inside but her voice came out really soft.
“Then stop acting like one,” anito at nilantakan pa ang apple pie na tila sarap na sarap talaga.
Namaywang siya. Pinantasya niya kanina na kakainin ni Dax nang ganoon ka-enthusiastic ang apple pie pero ngayon ay gusto niyang mabulunan ito o sumakit ang tiyan pagkatapos. Magka-LBM ka sana, hudas ka! “You’re a jerk, you know that?” she said, her voice saccharin sweet.
“And you’re a cheap tease. But thanks for the pie. If you’ll excuse me, I wanna go back to work.”
He turned back to his laptop, finished his food and shoved the plate away from him, never again sparing her a glance. Muli siyang parang tangang nakatayo at nakatanghod dito.
He only looked at her again but only to ask, “Nagdala ka ng pambara wala naman pantulak.”
“Hindi ba? Lubos-lubusin mo na, ikuha mo ako ng tubig. Bilis,” pinitik pa nito ang mga daliri na para siyang alipin nito na susunod kaagad sa utos nito.
She stomped away, fuming madly. “You wish, you asshole!”
DAX sighed in relief when Rianna left. He was glad he was able to drive her away. He hoped that she wouldn’t come near him again! Ever!
The sight of her sexy belly button peeking from her tiny, pink knitted blouse made him so uncomfortably hard. God, she was so unbelievably sexy she could arouse a corpse! It took a lot of restraint in him not to grab her and… he wanted to do everything to her. Kiss her, fondle her, lick, suck, fuck her. Hard. Fast. Furiously. Damnit! No woman had even made him pant with need like this. He was actually imaginng the apple pie to be her soft flesh as he ate it. Everytime he’d see her and think about her, he’d think of sex. Nothing else.
Lord, take me to Lebanon, to Baghdad! The hotter spot, the better! Just get me outta here!
