Dulling Glisters of the Diamond (Casa Fuego Series #5)

Chapter 14

Backyard

We did it so many times after the first one. And even though I was so tired, I was still so into it! We talk about things in our breaks, kaya inabot kami ng halos madaling araw na. Pilit ko siyang pinapalipat sa kwartong ipinahanda ko dahil maagang nagigising ang mga tao rito, at baka maabutan pa kaming ganito!

I can already imagine how horrified I will be if we were caught like this. Kaya lang kahit anong kumbinsi ko sa kanya, ayaw niyang magpaawat.

"One more hour..." he murmured on the pillow.

Hinampas ko siya. His face was buried on the pillow because he was trying to cover his ears from me. Saglit kong pinasadahan ang kanyang likod. I licked my lips when the muscles and the dimples on his back moved along with his gestures. But then I remember my concern!

Hawak ko ang duvet para matabunan ang aking dibdib. My hair is disheveled but I feel so sexy! Julius' masculinity makes me feel so girly and sexy! We are still both very naked and he wouldn't move to the other room!

"We can see each other again later! Kapag dito ako natutulog, maagang kumakatok ang katiwala at nagdadala ng breakfast. Pagkaalis niya, bumalik ka na lang ulit dito!"

He groaned and shook his head. He buried his face more on the pillow, as if he wouldn't hear me. I chuckled.

It's a good thing that my brother, cousin, and I always crash on this room every now and then. May mga damit ako rito, may mga damit din ang kapatid at pinsan ko. I have a stock underwear since Julius stripped the garter on my panty! Maybe I should wear a seamless panty whenever I am with him. Mahirap na at baka kung saan pa kami abutan.

My face heated because of my thoughts. Damn it!

"It's only three in the morning..." he murmurred.

"People here wake up at four in the morning!"

Pagilid niya akong sinulyapan. Umawang ang aking labi nang makita kung gaano siya kagwapo ngayong inaantok ang kanyang mga mata. And his bare and muscly back, his disheleved hair... Damn, I am already sated, right?

"I'll just hide in the cabinet. Or in the bathroom. Don't tell me they check your bathroom, too?"

"Pero panigurado dadalhan ka rin nila ng pagkain sa kabilang kwarto! You may be my bodyguard but you are considered as a guest!"

He groaned and covered his ears with the pillow. I couldn't concentrate because of his bare back. Hanggang baywang lang ang natatabunan ng puting duvet.

Bumuntong hininga ako at humalukipkip. Nakasandal ako sa board ng kama habang siya ay nakadapa. I smiled when I realized how we look here. Nagulat ako nang bigla niyang pinatong ang kanyang kamay sa aking hita, sa ilalim ng kama. Ngumuso ako.

"Your skin is so delicate. I shave often but it still seems harsh on yours."

"It's alright, though."

He glanced at me with only one eye open. I arched a brow on him.

Habang tinitignan siya ay may naisip ako. I don't know how long this arrangement will last but I most certainly sure I won't end it right away. Baka mawala na kapag tuluyan na akong naireto ni Mama sa mapapangasawa ko. But right now, I will not leave. Kaya naman naiisip ko na maaaring ilang beses pang maulit ito.

We can't be seen like this. Yes, people won't react exaggerately when they see us together in public because our families are both elites, and very close friends. But we can't be seen this way. I am in the age for marriage, and even when I don't want to get married to someone I don't love, I wouldn't want to stain my image, too. I've seen how Conor suffered from that, and even when I am strong willed, I don't think I could still stand hearing harsh rumours about me.
