Her Raging Flame [English Version]

I’ve been staring at my cell phone for a few minutes now but I’m still not moving from standing in the middle of the living room. Dave’s call had ended earlier but I was still looking at nothing. My heart is heavy with my choice.

I glanced around Maverick’s unit. On a corner is a display of his family pictures. There’s a picture of the Fuentebella family and another picture of him on his graduation in college.

I walked over to the area and picked up the picture frame. I caressed Maverick’s smiling face. His smile is so wide that it radiates out from the picture. I didn’t realize that I just smiled too.

I remember what he told me earlier. He wants me to open up to him. But how am I going to do that if he still doesn’t want to hear me about what I know about his past? I know that I can’t fully share my past with him without touching that memory.

I sighed. “Mom, Dad. Why did you put me in this dilemma?”

The ring of the phone broke the silence of the night. I put the picture frame back and walked back to the living room. I frowned as no name was registered on the screen. Just an unknown number. I pressed the answer button and answered whoever was calling.

“Hello?”

“Hi, Ms. Alcantara. This is Christine Salceda of Fuentebella Group of Companies. Mr. Maverick Fuentebella has instructed me to inform you that a package for you is already under way.”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

My forehead furrowed. “A package? For what?”

“Mr. Fuentebella didn’t elaborate further, ma’am. He said and I quote ‘I hope she’ll love it'”.

I don’t know whether to laugh or not at the formality in the woman’s voice while saying those sentences but I just let it. I was more curious about the package she’s referring to.

“Okay. Thank you.”

When I put down the cellphone, someone knocked on the door. I opened the door and saw Jex outside holding a big white rectangular elegant black box with a gold ribbon wrapped around it. I met a very quiet man yesterday when Maverick introduced me to him.

“Ms. Alcantara, a package from Mr. Fuentebella,” he said seriously.

“Yeah. I was informed just now.”

I took it from Jex and thanked him. Jex just bowed to me. I carried the box to the living room and laid it on the floor. I untied the carefully knotted ribbon and opened the box. There’s a note on top of it. I picked it up and read.

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

Astonished, I picked up the contents of the box that was still wrapped in a dust coat. I opened it to reveal a fire red halter cut out satin dress. The dress has a slit on the left side. It has an open back style and a line of golden rhinestones are running down from the nape across the spine to connect it to the fabric just above one’s waist. On another package is a pair of black strappy stilettos from a Jimmy Choo brand.

With a wide smile, I laid them on the carpeted floor and stared at them.

“What are you, Mav? A godfather?”

I took the note card inside the package again and flipped it on the back. There is another message written there in Maverick’s handwriting.

“Meet me at 8 later. Your obsessed man, Mav.”

I bit my lower lip then shuddered as I arranged the package before carefully bringing the clothes and shoes into the room. I glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table. I still have two hours before eight o’clock.

I took off my clothes and went to the bathroom. I want to take a dip in the bathtub first. I adjusted the temperature of the water and applied a bubble bath and essential oils on it. I also lit scented candles to set an ambience.

“And a good wine is the knockout.”

I put on a bathrobe and went to the kitchen. I took out a wine from Mav’s collection and got myself a wine glass. I went back to the bathroom, undressed and immersed myself in the fragrant and bubbling water. My one hand is holding the brimming glass of wine.

I closed my eyes and inhaled the smell of the candle that had already mixed with the smell of soap. They smell heavenly. For a moment my thoughts vanished because of the comfort that enveloped me.

After soaking myself in the tub for almost an hour, I rinse myself and put on the robe. I styled my hair first before moving on to dab a make-up on my face. I decided to put my hair in a low ponytail with some strands falling off the side of my face. As for the make up, I opted for a smokey eye kind of effect, nude blush and my trademark red lipstick. You can never go wrong with it.

I used Maverick’s newly bought make-up for me. A day ago, that guy went super bored and since he swore not to leave me alone meaning he can’t go outside, he went on a shopping spree. Almost everything he buys online is for me. I just woke up from my usual nap on his lap shocked to see shopping bags all over the place.

I put on the dress and marveled at myself. I just shook my head as I looked at myself in the full-length mirror. The dress fit my body like a second skin. The cut on the chest area is just enough and the slit on the thigh is just right. My back is the revelation. Its openness makes me more confident.

“You’re good at choosing this, Mav. You’re really good at calculating a woman’s body proportions, huh.”

I wore the diamond earrings that he also gave me and then sprayed perfume. I put the essentials in the Gucci purse and put on the shoes. I puckered my red lips in front of the mirror, walked some more and then headed for the door. I walked to the elevator and punched some code Maverick taught me. The door opened and I slid in.

When I reached the ground floor, Jex was already waiting for me in the lobby. He gestured to me at the exit of the hotel where a shining black limousine was waiting.

The private chauffeur opened the door for me but I steadied my eyes on the cold emotionless face of Jex.

“Where’s Maverick?”

“Mr. Fuentebella will join you shortly, Ms. Alcantara. Mr. Lacierda will take you to him.”

“Okay. Thank you, Jex.”

I slipped into the open door. Soon we started traveling. We stopped at a hotel with a large Fuentebella insignia outside. I saw Maverick in the entrance talking to a blonde woman. Not that she’s foreign or something. Her blonde hair is definitely bleached.

A feeling of possessiveness kicked in.

“I’m coming down.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

The chauffeur opened the side of the door and I emerged out of the car. With my hand on my gown and the other holding my purse, I gracefully climbed up the stairs. The wind blew my hair but my eyes are only pointed at my man who looks every inch perfect in his all black ensemble. It was as if there was a magnet connecting us that Maverick couldn’t help but turn his gaze in my direction. His mouth carefully opened up to silently utter the word ‘wow’ before he left the girl and met me halfway. She whistled as he stared at me.

“Like what you see, hmmm?” I reached for his tie and touched it softly.

“More than you could imagine. You’re gorgeous, babe.” He touched my face and was about to kiss me but I avoided him.

“Who is she?” I asked him while looking up at the front steps where the girl stood also looking at us.

Maverick chuckled. “Devon, a friend.”

My eyebrows rose. “A friend? Let me guess, another obsessed friend of yours?”

Maverick just laughed at me as he led me down the stairs.

“No, she’s just a friend. No intended adjective. Besides, even if she’s obsessed with me or not, it doesn’t matter. I’m too whipped for you. Now give me my kiss.”

I blocked his hand on my face as he slowly descended on me.

“Not my lips. My lipstick will stick on you.” I pointed to my neck. “You can kiss me here.”

I angled my head and offered him my neck. He kissed me there and bit my skin.

“You’re going to make me a vampire. Come on. We have a reservation for dinner.”

He grabbed me by the waist and held me down.

“You won’t even say goodbye to her?”

“We finished talking the moment I saw you.”

I secretly smiled at what he said.

He first put me in the car before he followed. He ordered the driver to go and then pushed a button to activate a division between the driver’s seat and the backseat. He took my hand again and kissed it. I leaned on his shoulder.

“Did you like it?”

I smiled and adjusted my face so I could smell him better.

“I love it. The dress and the shoes are perfect fit. How did you do that huh?”

“I know your body. As simple as that.”

“Hmmmm.” I smelled him again. “Did I tell you I love your scent? Reminds me of the meadows and the fields and all the flowers in it. Is it your shampoo?” I sniffed his hair. “No. I think it’s your perfume.”

Maverick pulled me to sit on his lap in front of him. It’s his turn to smell me. My legs are on either side of his body. He buried his face in my neck, wrapped his hand around my waist and ran his nose under my chin.

“And you smelled of vanilla and peaches and cream. My favorite flavors in ice cream.”

His growing stubble grazed my skin and I can’t help but let out a moan. My skin started tingling and I felt feverish. I closed my eyes and bit my lip to prevent letting out another growl.

I feel like a plant that has not been watered by what I am doing now.

I grabbed his hair and combed it. I could feel the heat of Maverick’s body. I heard him sigh. There is definitely no denying the sexual frustration in the air. I tried to go back to my seat but she just stopped me. He positions himself on me and grinds himself against me. His hand entered my dress and caressed my thigh. His mouth went down to my chest and licked the top of it.

“Uhm.” I put my hand over my mouth. I heard him laugh. I pulled his hair in return.

He brushed the fabric of my gown that covered my chest to the side and carefully traced his finger across my nipple tapes and tried to remove it. I smacked his hand.

“Don’t bother them. It hurts to get rid of them, okay? Better yet stop seducing me you big bad wolf. We’re supposed to have dinner.”

He stopped what he was doing and just kissed the surface of my chest. My nipples became hard and rigid.

“Well, I’m having some appetizer here.”

He hugged me tightly and buried his face on my neck.

“Babe, I’m burning for you.” I heard the suffering and longing in his voice. I was also feeling the same so I moved my hips against his steely manhood to alleviate the itch. I was so wet down there. He gripped my waist to keep me from moving.

“Stop. You’re killing me.”

I giggled and rubbed his red cheek. His eyes became really dark, almost feral in my eyes. It’s really hard to control it. I showered kisses on his face.

“How many more minutes before we arrive at the resto?”

He looked out. “With the rate we’re going and given the traffic, more or less 20 minutes.”

His fingers have already penetrated my thong and are now conducting its own exploration.

“Okay then. We should stop torturing oursel-” I couldn’t finish what I was going to say when he suddenly kissed me.

I responded immediately and wrapped my arms around its neck. The kiss was not enough so our hands went into each other’s body. He squeezed my chest and inserted his finger inside me. I screamed in our mouths as he skillfully pushed in and pulled out his digit. I pushed his face away to open his polo. I played with my hands on his hard chest muscles.

“Fem, I can’t take it anymore.” He took the hand from inside of me. The movement created a suction sound. He grabbed the garter of my thong and was about to tear it but I stopped him immediately.

“Don’t you dare! I ain’t going to that dinner without my panty on.”

I took off my thong and gave it to Maverick who immediately smelled it while staring at me. He pocketed my panties and removed his belt. He lowered his zipper and the brief. His proud veiny dick sprang out. There is also precum coming out of it.

“Come here, babe.”

He reached out to me and helped me position myself. I moved a little to help him and then I slid myself into an inch of him. We both groaned in approval. I was wet but I still had a hard time accepting him fully. He’s really big.

I was feeling a little discomfort when he told me to move. I followed. I moved in circular motion and then I pushed myself down to completely take him in. I could feel his throbbing maleness deep inside me. I can feel all of it. The width and the girth.

We both sighed in approval.

He didn’t move at first. He let me adjust first. He touched me on the cheek and kissed me on the forehead, down to the nose and going down again to cover my lips. I did not give up. I also competed with a more intense kiss I awarded him.

Suddenly, a lighted billboard crossed my sight. My eyes widened as I remembered. I broke the kiss and I looked at him with frantic eyes.

“Mav, maybe your driver heard us. Are we soundproof? The glass of this car is tinted but what if your driver finds out we’re doing this? It’s embarrassing! Hey, don’t laugh at me!”

My whole face was blushing at the possibility. I don’t want to be labeled as an exhibitionist!

He held my waist and guided my movement.

“Don’t worry. He won’t hear us. Relax and just enjoy this …” he looked at our joined bodies “the ride.”

I relaxed with his assurance. I placed my palms on his chest and began to move. He caught my mouth again as we accelerated our movement. We were breathing heavily and I felt like I was about to reach climax.

Maverick buried his face in my neck and sucked it. I was overwhelmed by the insane sensation. I don’t know where to turn my head. I just chose to stare at the busy road.

To think we are inside the moving vehicle having a quickie while the world goes on outside is enough to heighten the build up towards my orgasm. Excitement, fear, and need.

I put my hand over my mouth again as I became louder. I can not take it anymore. Any second now, I’ll be blown into pieces. The sensation I feel is too much.

I caressed Maverick’s face and kissed him to confine my scream. I reached my orgasm. I slammed into his chest afterwards and chased my breath.

He also held my waist tightly. His movement is already violent. His muscles flexed and became terse. I looked up and met his hot burning eyes. A sweat trickled down his head. I didn’t cut out our connection until he finally climaxed.

I was even overwhelmed by the volume of his release. But more than that, seeing how his eyes glow right after he reached the climax felt enchanting. It was as if we were back on the island again under the moonlight.

This is more than just physical joining of bodies. What we have right now is a connection of both souls.

“You’re hot,” I whispered.

With a sigh he straightened my curly hair.

“You’re hotter.”

“You’re way hotter.”

He kissed me. “We’re both hot. How’s that?”

I smiled. “Better.”

Maverick took a tissue and cleaned me before himself. He returned my thong and helped me put it on. I arranged my clothes and hair and then took wipes from my purse. I wiped the lipstick on his mouth.

“I told you not to mess with my lipstick.” I scolded him.

“If this is always the case, you’ll expect me to mess with you every day.”

When the lipstick was removed, I took care of myself. I retouched my make up while Maverick held the mirror.

“How many minutes do we have?” I asked him as I put the compact mirror back in the purse.

“Here we are.”

He got out of the car and opened the door to my side. In front of us is the most popular fine dining restaurant in the city.

“Shall we, my lady?” he asked, his eyes sparkling.

I glued myself to him and he immediately got what I meant. He put his hand over my bare back and led me the way.

“Do I look like I’ve just been fucked up?” I asked after we were greeted and opened by the uniformed staff.

“I have a better term, Fem. You’ve just been made love to. Regardless of place and time, it’s the intention and feelings that count. We just made love.”

I blushed at what he said. Made love. Love.

I stopped talking and we just kept walking. An attendant escorted us into a less crowded part of the restaurant. It was strategically situated to offer the customers a scenic view of the city through the glass wall. I noticed that the attendant didn’t ask any more questions so I deduced that Maverick was a frequent customer here.

We passed a couple at a table who greeted Maverick. I looked up and saw no more than a respected billionaire philanthropist in the country waving his hand to Maverick. My gaze shifted to his venerable wife whom I could even see looking at me from head to toe. Her eyes lingered on my chest. I saw disgust formed on her face.

I blushed out of embarrassment. I also suddenly shrank into myself. I don’t know but memories come back to me when our friends found out we were bankrupt. It was the same look they threw at us. I looked down and removed my hand on Maverick’s arm. It was only now that I felt we were too awkward for each other.

“Don’t look down. You’re beautiful.” Maverick whispered in my ear. He grasped my hand and intertwined our fingers.

Maverick politely returned the greeting to the couple and then led me to our table. He held a chair for me before he sat on his.

I took a deep breath and regained composure. I have nothing to be ashamed of. Maverick Fuentebella is even proud of me. With that thought in mind, I met his worried eyes. I smiled sweetly at him to assure him.

“I’m hungry, wolf guy. Feed me now.”

The worry on his face disappeared. He gave me a meaningful smile.

“Okay, let’s skip the appetizer. Let’s go straight to the main course. I’m famished.”

“Good. We need it so bad after we …. Stop teasing me!”

He raised his hands. “I didn’t say anything. Let’s just call the waiter now. You might still be in beast mode. You won’t give in to me later.”

“Is your knee still strong? I felt it shaking earlier.”

“Ah, a challenge. I love challenges.”

I laughed. Maverick stared at me.

“You should be laughing and smiling more often. It suits you.”

I rolled my eyes. “If I do, then you might not be able to work.”

He shifted at his seat at what I meant. He cleared his throat before hesitantly taking the menu to the table.

“Let’s order. I don’t like where this is heading.”

I giggled. Maverick laughed as well. Our laughter filled the quiet place.
