Oculus of Time

Recalled

Ria's POV

Naramdaman ko ang pagsubsob ng basag na mga piraso ng vase sa likod ko.

"Fuck-" Needless to say, binalewala ko lang ito.

My hand gripped the carpet.

As a daughter of the God of War, I can finally say that pain is nothing compared to pleasure.

"Ria..." Binulong niya ang pangalan ko. "Umaga na-"

I held the back of his neck and pulled his head closer to mine. "Do I look like I care-"

He threw me off guard when he grabbed me by my waist and slammed me to the wall.

My feet weren't even touching the floor when he trailed my bare chest with his lips.

Sinulyapan ko ang nasirang higaan at mga kagamitan ng kwarto. Binilang ko rin ang mga biyak sa pader... at kisame.

Mabuti nalang talaga at hindi nahulog ang chandelier. If ever it did, I might be the one to blame. Ako naman kasi ang unang naglabas ng mga pakpak kaya umabot kami sa itaas.

It was Chase though, who broke the glass panels of the balcony with his wings.

I grinned at the mess we made.

Totally worth it.

'Would you look at that. Ares is here.'

Sabay kaming napatigil ni Chase pagkatapos marinig ang sinabi ni Hermes.

"What?!" naiinis kong turan.

"Gago-" Biglang naglaho si Chase at bumalik nang nakasuot na ng damit.

I felt a breeze surround me for a few seconds and when I looked down, I noticed I was already wearing clothes too.

Nasa punto na ako ng buhay na ayoko nang magdamit kapag kasama ko si Chase kaya hinatak ko pataas ang shirt ko pero pinigilan niya ako, saka niya ako binigyan ng panandaliang halik sa labi.

I gave him a bored look. "Really?"

Matagal-tagal niya akong tinitigan.

"What?" tanong ko.

"Wala." Kumibit-balikat siya. "Gusto ko lang malaman mo na kuntento na ako sa mga huling sandali ko dito sa mundo."

"Shut up. He won't kill you." pagsisigurado ko. "I won't let him."

He kissed me again and damn was I ready to tear our clothes into shreds kung hindi lang kay Hermes na nagsalita ulit sa isipan ko.

'Please make yourselves presentable when you come down for breakfast.'

Nagpalitan lang kami ni Chase ng tingin bago lumabas ng kwarto.

I swear the next time someone interrupts us I am going to lose it. Kahit deity pa yan. Tsk.

"Yung tungkol sa mga panaginip mo." Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko nang makababa kami ng hagdan.

"I'll tell you about it later." I gave his hand a gentle squeeze.

Ares and Hermes were in the middle of a conversation when we arrived in the dining room. Nasa kabilang dulo sila ng mesa, nag-uusap nang mapansin nila kami.

"Good morning, lovebirds." bati ni Hermes sa'min.

Kung gaano katamis ang ngiti ni Hermes, gano'n din kapait ang simangot ni Ares na nakatayo sa tabi niya.
