Suarez Empire Series 1: My Heaven In Hell

MHIH 16

Hellios brought me to the kitchen. Malaki ito kumpara sa normal na kusina. Kumpleto rin ang bawat gamit pero mukha namang si Hellios ang tipo ng lalaki na hindi marunong magluto.

Naupo siya sa counter, hawak pa rin ang kamay ko. I was roaming my eyes around when I tried to get my hand from his hold but he didn’t let it go. Nilingon ko siya at naabutang titig na titig sa akin.

“Can I move around?” I asked.

“Absolutely.”

“Uh, then can you let go of my hand?”

He blinked his eyes, looked down on our intertwined hands and let out a soft chuckle. He bit his lower lip. Mas lalo lang itong pumula dahil doon.

“Damn me.” he muttered under his breath as if he’s talking to himself.

Lumabi ako kasabay ng pagkunot ng aking noo. Naabutan niya ako sa ganoong ayos.

“Why do you keep on cursing?”

“Expressions.”

“But it’s bad.”

Tumango siya, nagpipigil ng ngiti. “You don’t want me cursing?”

“What will you do about it?”

Humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa kamay ko na hanggang ngayon ay hindi niya pa rin binibitawan. Bumaba ang tingin ko roon. My hand looked so small with his. Mahahaba ang mga daliri ng kamay ni Hellios, maputi at may ilang hibla ng balahibo doon. His hand veins were pretty obvious.

“If my baby doesn’t want to hear me cursing, then I’ll probably won’t do it again.” he said that made me look at him.

“Can you?”

He smiled and brought his hand to my cheek to give it a quick and soft caress.

“I’ll try.”

Ngumiti ako. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ang simpleng salita na ‘yon ni Hellios ay nagbibigay tuwa sa puso ko. Mahirap tigilan ang isang bagay lalo pa kung nakasanayan mo na ‘to. Hearing from him that he’ll try to stop himself from cursing made me feel happy.

“Bakit mo gagawin?” tanong ko.

He cocked his thick brow as he let out a soft chuckle. Bahagya niyang hinila ang kamay ko dahilan para mapalapit ako sa kaniya. His thighs were spread apart. Dahil sa pagkakahila niya sa akin ay awtomatiko akong napaloob sa pagitan ng mga hita niya.

“Dahil gusto mo.” titig na titig na aniya.

“And my opinion matters to you?”

“Yes.”

“Bakit?”

The edge of his lips curled in a godly smirk. “You  really love to hear the devil confessing to you, huh?”

I frowned. “You are not a devil, Hellios.”

My heart fluttered when he suddenly tucked some hair on my ear while staring intently into my eyes.

“That’s not what I’m feeling whenever I’m with you, Chloe. You are too much heaven for me. I can’t even dare to take it all in…”

“Take what?”

He breathed out. Halos mapigilan ko ang paghinga nang bigla niyang isandal ang noo niya sa balikat ko at ang paggapang ng kamay niya sa aking bewang.

“That I’m really falling for you.”

Pumikit ako nang mariin. I didn’t expect that I would hear this from him this soon. Aaminin kong sa ilang beses naming nagkakasama ni Hellios, walang pagkakataon na hindi ko siya hinangaan. He’s kind and caring, thoughtful in ways he doesn’t even realize. Kung sa itsura ay hindi siya nalalayo sa depinisyon ng pagiging perpekto.
