~Possession~

The warmth that embraces my skin and my soft puffs of breath make me sigh contentedly as I snuggled closer to the warm thing while absent-mindedly mumbling muffled words, even the comforting feeling of something warm that gently and softly caressed my hair, pulling me back to a wonderful sleep.

A wonderful smell of pine and wood invaded my nostril as I heaved a big and deep sigh.

Ilang segundo lamang noong tuluyan akong muling nakabalik sa aking pagtulog. It feels like my mind is blurred of nothing and the only thing that keeps my mind occupied is how warm and comfortable I feel. Maybe it's because of the hearth that makes me warm or maybe a heavy and comfortable coverlet.

Hindi ko alam kung ilang oras pa ako nakatulog nang walang ano mang iniisip. Nagising lamang ako noong may marinig na pagbukas ng pinto.
I stirred in my sleep and mumbled how good it feels like to just sleep forever.

A small yawn escaped from my lips as I slowly and lazily open my eyes, blinking away the hint of sleepiness, only to meet Eloise! I stiffened abruptly as she entered, pushing a cart that contained food for breakfast.

I nervously studied the older woman; her face shows no emotion and her lips formed in a firm set. Hindi ko alam kung magpapasalamat akong ang kaniyang tingin ay nakatuon lamang sa mga pagkaing naroon at hindi siya nakatingin sa akin.

I held my breath when she slowly curtsies; her eyes settled on the floor before the older woman gently and carefully settled the foods on the small table.

Did she curtsey to me?

"Your Highness, 'tis breakfast is ready."

Bago pa ako makapag-isip sa kaniyang sinabi ay may isang boses ang bigla pang nagsalita.

"You can leave."

The deep voice vibrated to where I'm currently lying. I stiffened just when Eloise curtsied again and went out to the door.

My heart started beating fast just when I realized my situation.
My body is comfortably spread above a man's body and he's caressing my hair at my back.

Panic started awakening me as I tried to get up from the man's body but was only pulled back by a strong hand on my waist. My heart started beating fast.

"Hmm, and where do you think you're going?"

A deep and grave-like voice invaded my hearing.

Mabilis kong inangat ang aking ulo at kaagad na natuon sa mga mapupungay na bughaw na mga mata.

"X-Xerxes!" I blurted out.

My huge eyes widened when I remembered the thing that happened before I went to sleep last night.

I thickly gulped as I nervously looked up at him. The Prince is comfortably lying on the bed. Nakataas ang isa niyang kilay habang nakatingin sa akin.

"I-I'm sorry... I-I."

Ramdam ko ang unti-unting pagbigat ng aking hininga. Kinakabahan ako sa maaaring mangyari. Hindi ko ginusto ang nangyari. Alam kong magagalit ang Prinsipe sa aking ginawa.

I make him like a bed and I know that he will be angry about it. Xerxes is the Prince and I just lie down on him!

I shake my head furiously when I saw how his jaw ticked and clenched painfully.

Mariin akong pumikit habang sinusubukan kong habulin ang aking paghinga. Ramdam ko ang pagsakit ng aking tagiliran. Naalalang hindi pa rin pala ako gumagaling.
