SPECIAL CHAPTER

Ajax Draven's POV

It has been a whole month now since I've last laid my eyes on that person. How dare he leave me after proposing to me? He is doing some sort of a mission that takes so long. Nakakainip.

That person always has ways to amaze me and make me feel things. I know I have been suppressing myself when he's here with me. I am aware that I got used to his presence and his sudden clinginess that the other members do not know about. I didn't even know I'll fall for his quirks and charms. Hindi ko rin inakalang mahuhulog ako sa mga pang-aasar niya. Akala ko noon ay balak niya lamang akong inisin nang inisin hanggang mapuno ako. Mayroon na palang ibang balak ang gago.

I blew off a loud sigh before looking at the moon. It was beaming as exquisite as ever. I like the clear night sky, but I like the cloudy ones more—the one where clouds were dark and grumbling, when lightning was threatening to hit any place it would want to.

Napailing ako. Who am I joking? Alam ko naman sa sarili kong ang kidlat na iyon lamang ang gusto ko. Balik ka na, Deion...

An arm suddenly snaked around my waist and pulled me closer, making me lean towards a hard, broad chest. A gentle gust of wind coming from my back passed by so my nose captured a familiar scent. It was the scent I have been longing to get a whiff of, the strong yet gentle smell of a flower I don't know the existence of. It smells home...and only one person has this scent.

Ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko at hinawakan ang mga kamay na nakayakap sa akin.

"How are you, Uwak?" His voice sank deep in my ears like a melody I was dying to hear. I hummed in response. I didn't want to answer. Mas gusto kong siya lamang muna ang magsalita, gusto ko pang marinig ang boses niya.

"Come on, I want to hear you speak. I missed your voice."

"I am not okay, Kidlat. Sa lahat ng pwede mong gawin, ang iwan pa ako nang isang buwan ang napili mo?"

Tinanggal niya ang mga kamay na nakapulupot sa akin at iniharap ako sa kanya. He made me lean on the railings of the balcony as he gazed upon my eyes. I noticed a lot of changes in him, and the way he looks at me is definitely not one of them. Everything became unclear in my eyes as I stared upon his features. His pointed nose that I once imagined kissing, his eyes that always stare at me like I was the most beautiful gem he has seen, the perfectly shaped brows, and his lips that almost sparkle like they are tempting me to do something I was not supposed to.

It was like the dark clouds I never knew existed gathered around us like a storm was about to hit both of us, but the winds were far from destructive, it was rather gentle and calm, like the man who slowly held my cheeks and drew small circles.

"Did you miss me, my Aji?" I closed my eyes and heaved a deep breath. I tiptoed to meet his eyes. Our faces were only a few inches away from each other so I can smell him better right now.

I missed him so much, and I am aware that expressing it in words will only make me miserable and cringey. "I can show you better than I can tell you." Without hesitation, I closed the remaining gaps between our lips. His lips were so soft like the first time I kissed him.

For a few seconds, none of us dared to move like we were both shocked by the spark we both felt. We were just looking at each other's eyes and I saw his eyes turned crystal blue before he smiled between our kisses. Deion brushed my cheeks with his thumbs before closing his eyes, lips moving against mine. His head tilted a bit, making it easier for both of us to satisfy our desires.

The kiss was slow and gentle. It was a sweet kiss, his lips tasted like strawberries, and I hate to tell this but it was addicting. I need more.

I placed my hands on his nape and like what he did, I also tilted my head a bit to make it more comfortable for both of us. I held him closer like a hungry wolf who found his prey after a long period of hunting. Was I always this needy?

The sweet kiss turned rather passionate. I can feel my temperature rising as Deion bit my lower lip. The air around us becomes somewhat hotter than how it was before—the temperature was rising with the rising tension between us. Crackles of lightning appeared around us, but I didn't mind. The only thing that matters to me at this moment is him, the son of Zeus.

Deion bit my lower lip hungrily, making me gasp this time. He licked my lips before smirking in between our kisses when I let out a moan. I was a mess. This needs to stop. Hindi 'to pwedeng magtuloy-tuloy—

I wasn't able to proceed to my protest when he deepened the kiss even more. Just like how I don't want to be challenged like this, I gave him the same hunger, same intensity he was exerting. I responded to the damn kisses. Ang ayoko sa lahat ay 'yung natatalo ako. Hindi kailanman matatalo ang anak ni Thanatos. Not even the son of the king of the gods can make me kneel before him.

I was so lost in his kisses that I didn't even realize that the clouds were now gone and we were inside my bedroom and only a few steps away from my bed.

Deion broke the kiss, making me grunt but it made me realize that I was out of breath already. "Patience, bub." Ngumisi pa ito bago iangat ang damit na suot niya. Tinanggal niya ito at inihagis sa kung saan bago lumapit muli sa akin. As he walks closer, I eyed his perfectly-shaped body. His bare chest was really carved perfectly like the Greek gods' ones. He has these broad shoulders and his abdomen has eight bumps upon it. I gulped when my eyes landed on his collar bones. It was so sexy—Ajax Draven, kalma! Hindi ikaw 'to, umayos ka. Huwag kang magpadala sa tukso.

Deion licked his own lips before claiming my lips once more. This time, it was more intense, deeper, and more addicting. I unintentionally put my hands on his bare chest when his hands roamed upon the hem of my shirt, touching my skin. His hands explored more of my clothed back before he decided to slip his hands inside my shirt. I shivered because of the contact, but continued kissing him, nonetheless.

I can feel the adrenaline and the fast pace of my heartbeat as we continued exploring each other's mouth. The taste of strawberries was getting clearer. I groaned when he pulled away again. This damn demigod is getting into my nerves—

I almost moaned loudly when his lips found the base of my neck. I felt his smirk when he found out my weak spot. He licked it and kissed it before turning to my Adam's apple, making me cover my mouth to prevent the gasp from coming out. I laid my head back to give him more access to my neck. I shivered when he sniffed it like he was in ecstasy.

Tired of the emptiness, I pulled him up and kissed him again for the last time. I know we should stop here, this cannot continue any longer. These kisses were enough to satisfy us—THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH. We broke the interaction, both of us catching our breaths like we've been through a marathon.

Walang hiya ka, Kidlat. Kung ano-anong bagay ang nagagawa ko dahil sa'yo.

He smiled at me before pulling me towards the bed. We laid down there with me resting my head on his arms while his hand is playing with my hair. He suddenly hugged me tight. Wala naman akong nagawa kundi isuksok ang mukha ko sa leeg niya. Gustong-gusto ko talaga ang amoy niya. Humiram kaya ako ng pabango sa kanya?

He kissed the top of my head, and just like that, we spent the night talking about things that interested us both, making up for the time we spent away from each other until we both fell into the paradise introduced by Hypnos.

I am beyond grateful that we were the ones paired by Eros, and we're the ones meant to share both the ends of the same thread.
