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

Chapter 18

I'm home

I silently sat on the wooden swing while he's still kneeling in front of me. Hinahaplos ko ang lipstick na nabalot ng maliliit na bato ng diamonds. It glisters whenever it reflects the moonlight and the yellowish lampposts. Batid ko ang tingin sa akin ni Julius. He looked amazed on how I cried for the lipstick he gave.

"Grace, I never thought you'd react like this," sambit niya.

Me, too, Julius. I never thought I'd feel this way.

Ngumiti na lang ako at nilagay muli sa velvet box ang lipstick. I don't think I'll ever use that. Masyado akong manghihinayang kung gagamitin ko iyon. I'll protect it forever.

It's ironic how I've got even more expensive gifts than this lipstick. I've been lying on bed of luxury my whole life but I have never felt this moved. I think I'm really losing. And I hate that it's fine with me.

"Thank you for the lipstick. I loved it so much."

"Yeah, you did. You cried a few moments ago," he teased but I know he felt the gravity of my emotions.

The muffled sound of the instruments played by the quartet can be heard here. Paniguradong marami pang nagsasayawan. I am sure they are looking for me because many guests should have been dancing me right now as the birthday celebrant. Pero ayaw kong umalis dito. Ayos na ako rito. Gusto ko rito.

He sighed. Napatingin ako sa kanya dahil bigla siyang bumuntong hininga.

"What's wrong?"

"You should be dancing with your guests right now. Do you want to come back?"

"Ikaw ba?"

He shook his head and swallowed hard.

"Ako rin. Ayaw ko pang bumalik. Dito muna tayo... please..."

"Hindi ka ba pagagalitan? It's your birthday party."

"I like it better here."

He smiled and nodded. Ngumiti rin ako. His lashes looked thick and eyes became more expressive because of the shadows from the lampposts. He looked incredibly handsome. My heart throbbed.

Stay still, you stupid heart.

"What now? Are we going to have a vanilla birthday sex here?" tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

He glared at me and stifled a smile. Bumaba ang mga mata niya sa skirt ko.

"Hmm, I don't think so. My cum would be all over your skirt. I'm sure you won't like that."

"Damn you!" hinampas ko siya.

He chuckled. "I had a hard on the moment I saw you walk down the staircase. You looked very beautiful."

Naibaba ko na lamang ang kamay ko. Napatitig na lamang ako sa kanya habang unti-unting natatanggap na natatalo na ako. O baka na talo na ngang talaga.

Hindi ito ang pinasok ko. Wala sa plano ang mahulog sa kanya. I entered this arrangement for lust, fun, and his company. Paano umabot sa puntong ito? I am sure there's nothing that he wants from me other than my body and my company. Baka kailangan ko nang tanggapin ngayon pa lang na sa unang subok sa pag-ibig, ganoon ko rin kabilis kailangang pakawalan ito.

"I've got a better idea than sex, you know..." ngumuso siya.

"Hmm. What is it?"

He smirked and stood up. Namula ang pisngi ko at napatingin sa may bandang baba niya. Does he mean blowjob? We can't have a quickie because of my huge skirt so I'll just do him? Wala namang problema sa akin... I blushed.
