❆ CLÍODHNA EISDRACHEN POINT OF VIEW ❆

It's funny. I don't know what situation I'm in right now.

Hera made me wear a mechanic jumper suit so that I could chop wood more efficiently, sabi niya. I could have just worn my chino shorts and a t-shirt, but this is what Hera wanted me to wear.

"You look hot, hubby," she said with a laugh while admiring my outfit. "No matter what I make you wear, you still have that irresistible appeal," she added. She's playfully showering me with naughty compliments, but I know she's teasing.

Naging bonding namin ang asarin niya ako at pagtritripan tapos susuyuin ako sa dulo. Ako naman itong marupok, just one kiss and all my annoyance disappears.

I wonder who I inherited this from, because Dad wasn't like this at all. Maybe it's Mommy.

"Ayaw kong lumabas. Kung gusto mong ito ang isuot ko hanggang hating gabi. Gusto ko ng kiss bilang kapalit" I said, pouting and holding her waist. I was sitting at the edge of her bed, while she was fixing my hair.

"We've had enough kisses. Our lips will get swollen," Saad niya saka niyakap ang ulo ko kaya napasubsob ako sa kanyang puson. 

"Eh, sige na. Promise. Isa lang." I said. My voice wasn't clear because it was muffled.

Hera moved my head away from her stomach, leaned down, and looked into my eyes. "Just one? Just a peck?" she asked.

Tumango ako at nag-behave "Yes ma'am. Just one and just a peck," nakangiting saad ko, nakapatong mga kamay ko sa bewang niya.

Niyakap niya ulit ako pero this time sa pagitan ng boobs niya nadiin ang pagmumukha ko. Oh damn! Ang bango at ang lambot.

Masasapak niya kaya ako kapag piniga ko? Parang ang lambot hawakan.

"Clio! ang kamay mo. Umaakyat na naman" saad ni Hera saka inilayo ang mukha ko sa pagitan ng boobs niya.

"E, ang daya mo naman kasi wifey." Nakangusong pagrereklamo ko. "Tapos papasuotin mo ako nitong damit na 'to pero wala akong reward? Hmp! Ayaw kong lumabas" Kunwari patampo kong wika sa kanya.

Tumalikod ako at dumapa sa kama niya. Pumikit ako ang nagkunwaring matutulog. "Gisingin mo ako wifey kung may kiss na ako from you" Saad ko. Halos mapunit na ang bibig ko kakangiti.

Hindi siya nagsalita pero ramdam ko ang paglubog ng kama sa tagiliran ko. "Isa lang" Bulong niya. Ngumiti ako lalo at dahan dahan humarap sa kanya. "Hindi ka napipilitan?" Inosenteng tanong ko.

She simply stared at me. Her collarbone was in full view because her hair was tied up in a ponytail. I couldn't help but gulp as my gaze fixated on her lips.

She climbed onto the bed, pushing my chest down, causing me to lay flat on her bed again. Once I adjusted my body, she sat on top of me. Sa puson ko siya pumwesto dahilan para hindi ako makagalaw ng malaya.

Her finger brushed against my lower lip, as she pulled her hair out of its ponytail. Her lips were full and inviting, and her gaze was intense, as if daring me to resist. My heart raced as I felt her weight on my waist, and her soft breath on my jawline.
