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

Chapter 15

Melting Heart

After two weeks, we were back to Casa Fuego. Wala nang giginhawa pa sa pakiramdam na makabalik dito. While my mother and grandmother will start the birthday preparations even if it's just months from now, I'd be happy to ride along. I don't know why but I suddenly felt just fine with everything. Not the robotic fine. But the calm kind of fine.

Like any other day, when Julius is not busy with his laptop in our hacienda's balcony, he's here beside me in bed. He was in his black boxers, leaning on the board. I was still very naked but covered with the thick duvet. Kakagising ko lamang dahil sa sarap ng simoy ng hangin, at dala na rin ng pagod.

I couldn't count how many times we did it this week. Madalas kami rito sa hacienda dahil nagustuhan na rin niyang magtrabaho sa mapayapang balcony. When I am around, my grandmother mandated everyone that no will pass by nor will use this house building. That's why we're very safe here.

"You're still tired?" I heard him whisper.

Tuluyan nang nagmulat ang mga mata ko. He was typing something on his laptop but now his eyes were on me. He was topless. His hardcore chest and sculpted abs, and his broad shoulders were making me crave for more, however physically exhausted I already was.

"Hmm..." I murmurred sleepily.

He chuckled. "I made you so tired, huh? Maybe next time we can lay low-"

"No! I'm fine!" agap ko.

He laughed and shook his head. Napangiti rin ako kaya binaon ko ang mukha sa duvet. I sighed softly from the contentment. The serenity of the nature in our hacienda, and a calm afternoon with my hook up. I smirked.

"I'm learning different positions now..." I giggled.

Nilingon niya ako, may multo ng ngiti sa kanyang labi. Namumungay ang kanyang mga mata nang bahagyang inayos ang nagkalat kong buhok. Napapikit ako dahil sa rahan ng haplos niya at ang marahang hampas ng mabinhing hangin.

"You're a fast learner when it comes to this, huh?"

I smirked.

"By the way, I'll visit a doctor this weekend. Discreetly since my mother will find out. I'll ask for a prescription of pills."

Nagtagal ang tingin niya sa akin. I couldn't read his eyes. Or maybe I was just really trying to find something else more than... lust. I know we're in a casual arrangement so why am I still expecting for something else?

I remember when I asked him while we were dancing in the ballroom last soiree, if it is possible not to fall in love in bed with someone. All these years, I have always perceived it as a connection between souls. But he told me it really was possible, because for some people, it is merely a connection of bodies.

In our case, we are the latter. We are only in this arrangement for fun, for company, and for our bodies. And he also said... that when soul intervenes on a casual relationship, that's when you lose.

"Does that mean I can come inside you from then on?" he smirked.

"I guess so," malumanay kong sinabi.

He sighed. "Are you really sure about this? I don't want a kid from this arrangement, Grace," he chuckled.

"Ako rin naman. I don't want a kid. Hell, I hate kids. That's why I want to visit a doctor so I can have the best prescription."

Ngumuso siya at naninimbang pa rin ang tingin sa akin.

"Don't worry. I won't let that happen," I assured him.
