Chapter 3

Pagkababa ni Sapphire ay agad siyang sinalubong ng isang kasambahay. The maid sweetly smiled at her and guided her to where her Uncle Ares was. Akala niya sa dining area siya dadalhin, pero lumabas sila ng mansyon at dinala siya sa garden. And there, in the middle of blooming red roses, sat her Uncle—his leg over the other, his right hand holding a cup of coffee and his left holding a tabloid.

Hindi niya mapigilang mapatingin sa tiyuhin. He looked like a prince straight from a fairy tale book. Ang amo talaga ng mukha nito. His deep obsidian eyes looked so gentle, while his nose stood regal with a defined tip, complementing his naturally kissable, crimson lips. But what really caught her attention was his defined jaw that seemed to mirror his strong and sharp character.

She was fantasizing over him again! Kakare-mind lang niya sa sarili niya na titigil na siya!

“Oh, you’re here,” ani Ares nang mapansin si Sapphire. He pointed to the seat in front of him. “Sit down.”

Tumango si Sapphire at nahihiyang umupo. She pressed her legs against each other and kept her eyes down. Ayaw niyang tingnan ito. She wanted to avoid eye contact as much as possible.

“Aren’t you gonna eat? I made sure to let the cooks prepare England breakfast for you,” sambit nito sa malalim nitong boses. Even his voice sounded so masculine... deep, full, and with a little rasp that gave her little tingles between her legs.

“Opo..." sagot na lang niya at kumuha ng toasted bread, at ‘yon lang ang kinain.

“Aalis ako maya-maya, kaya habang nandito pa ako ay sabihin mo na sa akin kung ano ang gusto mo for lunch,” sambit nito sabay baba ng binabasang tabloid at tiningnan siya nang diretso sa mga mata.

“C-Can I have sinigang, uncle?” nahihiyang tanong niya.

“Sure. What else?”

“That’s all,” tugon niya at pilit na ngumiti sa kanyang Uncle. Hindi pa rin kasi nawawala ang kabang nararamdaman niya. What she saw last night was still fresh in her head.

What if he confronts her about what happened last night?

Napahigpit ang hawak niya sa toasted bread.

“Hindi mo ba gusto ang tinapay?” tanong ni Ares sa kanya. “It’s been minutes yet hindi mo pa nauubos."

“N-Nag-a-adjust pa lang po sa lasa,” pagsisinungaling niya bago pilit na ngumiti. “And I feel like I need more rest since pagod na pagod pa rin ang katawan ko.”

“I thought you had enough sleep already,” anito bago umayos ng upo.

“Y-Yes po.” Nag-iwas siya ng tingin.

Pakiramdam niya’y mapupunta talaga sa nakita niya kagabi ang magiging usapan nila.

“Leave us alone. We need some privacy,” matigas na utos ni Ares sa mga kasambahay na nakapaligid sa kanila. And in just a few seconds, sila na lang ang natira sa hardin. And then the air suddenly felt stiff and hard to breathe.

Nang tingnan niya ito ay doon niya nalaman kung bakit. He was staring at her with his piercing raven eyes. Titig na titig ito sa kanya. Pakiramdam niya’y nanuot sa kanyang balat ang mga titig nito. And that somehow made her a little tensed and uncomfortable.

“Wala ka bang gustong sabihin sa akin, Sapphire?” kaswal nitong tanong, pero dama niyang may gusto itong ipunto. “Now that we’re alone, you can be honest with me and tell me what you saw.”

She knew it!

Naikuyom ni Sapphire ang kamay bago niya marahang siniyuko ang ulo. “I...I’m sorry, Uncle...” mahinang sabi niya at huminga nang malalim. “I...I accidentally saw something I shouldn’t last night.”

“And what is it?” ani Ares at sumandal sa upuan at sumimsim ng kape.

Napakagat siya ng labi bago lumunok at nag-iwas ng tingin. “I...I saw you making out with someone last night,” pag-amin niya. “But I didn’t mean to peek!” mabilis niyang bawi at umiling-iling pa. “I was just...curious.”

“Hmmm...” His deep, raspy voice ran through her spine and gave her chills.

May kung anong bumara sa lalamunan niya kaya napalunok siya ng laway sabay hinga nang malalim. She could feel his eyes on her, kaya nag-angat siya ng tingin para sumilip.

And there, she was welcomed by his amused expression. Nakaangat ang isang sulok ng labi nito habang matamang nakatingin sa kanya ang kanyang itim na itim na mga mata.

“And? Anong masasabi mo sa nakita mo?” mapaglarong tanong nito bago bahagyang inilapit ang mukha sa kanya nang hindi inaalis ang tingin sa mga mata niya.

“P-Po?”

“Did it satisfy your curiosity?” he sexily asked, gently grinning at her.

She felt something tickle the spot between her legs.

“W-What... kind of question is that, Uncle?" kabadong tugon niya at hilaw na tumawa.

“Just answer me, Sapphire. Did it satisfy your curiosity?” pabulong nitong tanong.

“I...I don’t know, Uncle. I don’t know,” tugon niya bago lumayo sa kanya dahil hindi siya makahinga nang maayos. “But I won’t do it again, promise. I’ll even forget about it—about what I saw. Promise!” sabi niya at itinaas pa ang isang kamay.

Tumingin lang ito sa kanya bago tumayo.

“Well, let’s just see if you can really forget about it,” makahulugang sabi nito bago naglakad palayo sa kanya.

“Eat your food. I have to get ready at may trabaho pa ako,” dagdag nito bago tuluyang umalis.

Napatingin na lang si Sapphire sa malawak nitong balikat habang nakakunot ang noo.

Anong ibig sabihin ng sinabi ng kanyang Uncle?

**

Kahit iwinaksi na ni Sapphire ang nakita kagabi ay paulit-ulit lamang na bumabalik sa kanyang isipan, dahilan kung bakit siya nakakaramdam ng kakaibang init sa kanyang katawan.

She tried to debate with her alter ego, but she still ended up moving her hands down to her center. Ipinasok niya sa loob ng suot niyang panty ang kamay niya. She caressed her folds, imagining her Uncle Ares on top of her.

Mariin siyang napapikit habang hinahagod-hagod niya ang kanyang hiwa.

"U-Uncle...” mahinang bulong niya habang impit na umuungol. "D-Don’t be too rough,” dagdag pa niya, bago dahan-dahang ipinasok ang isang daliri sa loob ng kanyang pagkababáe.

“S-Slowly...” Mariin niyang nakagat ang kanyang labi nang maramdaman ang sagad na pagkapasok ng daliri niya. But it was too short to satisfy me.

So, she added another finger, still imagining her own uncle railíng her.

“Y-Yes...God, yes...” Sapphire moaned, thinking it was his díck. Binilisan niya pa angpaglalabas-masok ng dalawang daliri. “Y-Yes...Oh, God!”

Halos tumirik na ang mga mata niya dahil sa labis na sarap at kiliting nararamdaman niya sa sandaling iyon. Pakiramdam niya mararating niya na ang alapaap anumang oras, pero bigla siyang natigilan nang mag-ring ang cellphone niya.

Agad niyang tiningnan kung sino ‘yon at nakitaang pagrehistro ng pangalan ng kanyang Uncle sa screen ng cellphone. He’s requesting for a video call. Hindi pa sana ‘yon sasagutin ni Sapphire, pero baka importante ang sasabihin nito.

“U-Uncle...” hingal niyang sagot. “W-Why did you call?”

Tumingin si Ares sa kanya. His dark eyes looked at her with wonder. “Why are your face so red? At bakit ka hinihingal?”

“I...I was exercising, Uncle..." sagot ni Sapphire rito. Pero mas lalo siyang nag-init nang makita niya ang gwapo nitong mukha. She stared at his lips and started touching herself again. "B-Bakit po... kayo napatawag?"

“I was checking you out.”

Fuck. Even his voice sounds so dámn sexy. Sapphire feels like she'll have an orgásm if she listen to it nonstop. Boses pa lang ng kanyang Uncle ay parang binabayo na siya sa kama.

“Hmm-kay,” impit niyang tugon at napakagat nang labi. She adjusted her camera angle to hide her face. Sge can’t let him see her making such a léwd expression. “I...I’m fine, Uncle.”

“Why are your camera so shaky?” pang-uusisa nito.

“I...I’m still exercising," tugonon niya. “J-Just... call me later, okay?” dagdag pa niya at mabilis na pinindot ang end call button at inihagis na ang cellphone sa kama.

“Shít! Ah!” Sobrang init na ng katawan niya. Basang-basa na rin ang butas. “Ah... Ah!” She tried to reach deeper, pero hindi na abot ng mga daliri niya. Kaya binilisan niya na lang ang paglalabas masok ng mga daliri dahil alam niyang malapit na malapit na siyang labasan.
