Then and there I did realize no matter how strong the walls you built for yourself; there will always be a way to destroy it like what happened to the Walls of Jericho, or someone can climb to reach you just like what happened to the tale of Rapunzel.

"I hate you," I whispered when I escaped out of the trance. Saka ko lang napagtanto na nakalahad ang kanyang mga kamay at naghihintay sa akin. "I hate you," I repeated.

It may be childish but that is the only sentence that I can form right now. I hate it. I hate that I like him so much. I hate that he can make me feel frustrated, delighted, and afraid at the same time. I hate that he can bring so much emotion out of me. I hate that I love it so much that I am starting to hate it.

I saw how his smile faltered but unlike what he used to do, he did not give me a stern look. Instead, I saw the sadness in his eyes. He took a step forward 'til I subconsciously leaned against the wall.

Shit.

Kahit kailan talaga ay tumitiklop ako kapag tinitignan niya ako ng ganito. Pakiramdam ko ay sobrang espesyal ko kahit na sa loob loob ko ay pinangungunahan ako ng kaba. I mean, sino bang hindi maghuhuramentado ang sistema kapag ang isang Ares Imperial ang iyong kaharap?

I gasped the moment he unceremoniously grabbed my left thigh and snaked it on his waist. He did not waste a second as he darted his tongue in my mouth and a few moments later, I found myself returning his fiery kisses as my hands instinctively clasped at his nape.

Dinapuan ako ng kakaibang kiliti nang maramdaman ko ang kanyang mainit na kamay sa ilalim ng gown na aking suot at nakahawak sa aking hita. Mas lalong nanlaki ang aking mga mata ngunit hindi iyon naging hadlang para sagutin ko ang mga nakakawalang-ulirat na halik ni Ares.

His lips do taste like grapes or should I say wine but dang, it is so addicting. Lahat ata ng tungkol sa kanya ay nakakaadik. Nakababaliw. Umanggulo pa siya upang mas lalong mapalalim ang kanyang mga halik. Walang pasabi niyang inilayo nang kaunti ang kanyang mukha pero dahil nakaramdam ako ng pagka-irita ay inilapit ko ang aking mukha para hagkan ang kanyang labi. Ang loko, inilayo niya itong muli pero nang umatras na ako ay saka na siya muling umatake.

This guy is a tease. Hindi pa siya nakuntento sa ginagawa niya sa ilalim ng suot kong gown at talaga pang iginala niya ang kanyang kamay sa ilalim ng mga tali na nagtatakip sa malaking porsyento ng aking likod.

"Oh." Natigilan kaming dalawa nang may nagsalita. It was Mr. Chua giving us a knowing look.

Napamura ako sa aking isipan at naalala ko kung bakit nga ba talaga ako naririto. Hangga't maaari ay hindi pupwedeng makalapit si Mr. Chua sa bathroom.

Shit.

Fear crept instantly crept into my system but the man who was still caging me on my waist didn't even budge as his eyes remained fixated to the older man standing a few feet away from us. Good thing, my legs were not hugging his waist anymore.
