“Drink.”
“I can’t.”
“You have to.”
I firmly shook my head, about to make up some sort of excuse to avoid having to drink the medicine. However, I was forced to shut my mouth when he placed the capsule on my tongue as he drank the water. He held my chin and made me open my mouth, not even giving me time to react.
“Wait…! Mmph—”
I was grabbing his arm so hard as I swallowed the medicine, with Alvarez’s tongue pushing the water into my throat. I was wriggling in his arms as he held my chin and waist in place.
His mouth tasted like mint, just like how it usually does. But more than that…
I’m unsure if it’s all because I have a fever, but his lips felt cold as if enticing me to warm them up for him. And so, even after I had already taken the medicine, I held onto his arm to make sure he wouldn’t leave.
His body feels warm. I, on the other hand, feel both hot and cold. My head was spinning as I sucked on his tongue as if I wasn’t sick, with him groaning and pushing me on my back gently.
“Diaz, what the hell…”
I panted underneath him as I met his piercing gaze. “Uh, I…”
I don’t know what came to me when I did that. This is the third time he’s done that to make me take my medicine, but this is the only time I initiated a kiss. Usually, he’d let me go and clean up as soon as I drank it.
My eyes drifted to his groin to check, and damn. He’s already so hard after one kiss. I know exactly what it is that he wants, but I’m not sure what to do…
“Sorry.”
He heaved a sigh and nuzzled his face on my neck. “Don’t be.”
“Do you want to do it?”
My question was followed by a deafening silence, enough to leave me flustered at the thought of initiating it. Perhaps I really am not in my best state.
Alvarez wasn’t moving, so I thought he didn’t want to. But I could feel his bulge on my thighs…
“Diaz,” he called.
“Hmm?”
“Can I?”
I pursed my lips as I tried to refuse him in my mind. “What if you get sick?”
Damn it.
It’s crazy how we both want each other this much.
“f**k it. Let’s get sick together…” he whispered as he came up to my face, immediately crashing his lips against mine as his hands grabbed mine and placed them above my head.
As if a song composed and memorized by every muscle in my body, my legs immediately wrapped around his legs, grinding along with the rhythm he moves in.
“Hngh…”
“Ah, Diaz. You’re so f*****g pretty…” he muttered as he planted soft kisses on my neck, his hands immediately wandering across my body.
I feel cold but hot at the same time. His searing touch was enough to send my soul flying to dimensions no one can reach. He has barely touched me…
The low groans he had been letting out right next to my ear weren’t helping at all. If anything, it’s just the exact reason I’m spreading my legs so wide for him.
“Do I still need to loosen you up?” he asked, grinning.
I bit my lower lip as I hid my face behind my hands, embarrassed that he could see how desperate I was as I shook my head. I heard him chuckle a little before I felt his hands on my ankles.
“I’ll go easy on you because you’re sick…” he trailed off as he pulled my undergarments down. “Only for today.”
That made me swallow the lump that had formed in my throat. My mind had almost gone blank as he placed the tip right in front of my entrance, ready to enter my dripping cunt. I’ll be damned…
“Ahh! Gray!”
The noises I let out as he slammed his d**k inside me were so incoherent that even I couldn’t comprehend what I was saying. All I knew was that I was calling out his name like a prayer.
“f**k, why do you only ever call me by my name during s*x?” he asked, his tone spiteful, as he placed my ankles above his shoulder.
“Hngh…! Too rough—”
“I thought you liked it rough, hmm, Sapphire?”
Fuck.
Did he just call me by my name?
I didn’t hear quite well…
“Ahh, Gray! Oh!”
“f**k, you’re so tight…”
I tried to open my eyes to see his face. Even with the pace he was going, I found the chance to do it. He was clenching his jaw so hard as he thrust inside me, his hands gripping my waist so hard that I felt like it’ll leave a mark.
When he saw me and noticed me staring at his face in this state, his thrusts became slower, a smile slowly appeared on his face. He was threatening to pull out, but would jam his c**k right inside whenever I said please!
“Gray, ahh…! Please—Oh!”
“What? Please what, Sapphire?”
His tone was sarcastic, almost as if he was telling me he was mad. But I don’t know what he’s furious about!
“Damn, did you just tighten? What? Is it because I called you by your name? Hmm, Sapphire?”
He was ruthless.
But it’s his ruthlessness that makes him a perfect contender for me.
“f**k…you…” I managed to say in between the moans I could no longer suppress.
“Already am.”
“Ahh! You’re too—Ah! You’re too rough!”
My moans were muffled by a kiss, a harsh one. And I thought he was going to go easy on me today because I’m sick?! This is far from what he told me!
He kept on teasing me that I almost reversed our position so I could move. But unfortunately, my body was too weak for me to be able to pull it off.
“Please, Gray…” I cried under him as I gripped his arm, urging him to just f**k me senseless until we reached our release.
He stopped moving for a while as he stared at me, then nuzzled his face to my neck. “You’re driving me insane…”
With that, he thrust inside me without mercy and all I could do was take him and pray that I wouldn’t break. And the moment I reached my high, I felt as if I was going to pass out as I screamed his name one last time. A few more sloppy thrusts were all it took for the both of us to fall on the bed, with our sweat and c*m staining the sheets. Damn…
Alvarez sighed as he watched me catch my breath. This i***t still wants to go. I can already tell from the way he was looking at me.
I also want to but…
“My body can’t handle any more than that…” I muttered as I turned my back on him. I need a shower as soon as possible.
He sighed and helped me get up. “I’ll prepare your bath.”
“You don’t have to—”
“No, I need you to get better as soon as possible.”
“Because you’re having trouble dealing with work?”
“That…and other things.”
He smiled and winked at me, leaving me sitting at the edge of the bed. He really is a weirdo. I am, too. Because I pretended I didn’t understand as I wrapped myself in the part of the blanket that wasn’t stained yet.
I waited for Alvarez to finish preparing my bath. Or ours. This insatiable mess of a man, seriously. I just hope he doesn’t end up inserting that massive thing of his.
“Relax, we’re just going to take a bath.”
“I wasn’t thinking of anything,” I replied as I got in the tub.
I wonder why he has such a big tub, one that’s enough to fit at least two people in. Sure, he has such a massive figure, but the tub’s a little too big, almost as if designed for two people to be in.
Wait, it’s none of my business…
I shook my head to rid it of such mundane thoughts. Alvarez sat in front of me, looking out at the city. It’s already night…
Alvarez didn’t want to let me take a bath on my own, saying I might get dizzy and suddenly slip while he was outside. Well, it’s understandable. I mean, my legs are barely working and I haven’t recovered from my fever yet.
“Diaz,” he called as he shifted his gaze to me.
“Hmm?”
I’m pretty sure my face flushed. Alvarez really does look like a sculpture, one that was carved by perfect hands into flawlessness. Almost as if it was Michelangelo who molded him into a sculpture that’s superior to everything else.
Alvarez is a gorgeous man. There’s no doubt about that. No wonder he was the most sought-after man in the entire country back when he was still a bachelor.
“How are you feeling?” he asked, his fingers gently tapping on the side of the tub.
“I don’t know. Probably better than when I first woke up.”
He simply nodded and looked out the window again. We were right across from each other, but no one was talking. Ha, it’s almost as if we weren’t calling each other’s names out just minutes ago.
Still, I didn’t mind. I appreciated that he was allowing me to have a few moments of silence. He’s been keeping me distracted from everything I’ve been worrying about, after all.
He’s quite nice. At times, that is.
This is a once-in-a-blue-moon occurrence, that’s for sure. Perhaps it’s because he can’t have me getting ill on him. He needs me to take care of plenty of things for him, after all.
What a shitty setup…
I relished the feeling of a nice warm bath with Alvarez, who would glance at me from time to time to check if I was okay.
Where’s the line I drew again?
“Are you done yet?” Alvarez asked as he got up.
“Oh. I still want to stay.”
“It’s not good to stay too long.”
I sighed and put my hands up so he could pull me up. I didn’t want to slip while inside the tub. Thankfully, Alvarez was being a lot nicer than usual.
He got my robe after wearing his, and then scooted me up and placed me back down after getting me out of the tub. He quietly helped me wear the robe he got for me and assisted me back to bed.
“Oh.”
I pursed my lips to fight the urge to laugh. Our bed is still a huge mess after what we did, so he took me to the living room instead.
Ah, yes…
Being out here feels better than just staying inside the bedroom. It’s warmer here, and I feel more comfortable for some reason. Or maybe it’s all because I was lying there while being sick.
Oh, right. I hope Alvarez doesn’t catch my fever…
“Stay here. I’ll be back as soon as I’m done cleaning up.”
I nodded. “It’s fine. Don’t worry about me.”
“Don’t walk around if you’re dizzy,” he reminded me before going back to the bedroom.
Damn.
I really did end up relying too much on him since we’ve been married. I also didn’t want to, and even when I say that I’m not going to…I still somehow end up relying on him.
Right now, I’ve entrusted my whole being to him. No one has ever seen me in such a vulnerable state except my family and Vin. I knew this was bound to happen, but the fact that it did just didn’t register well to me.
I decided to lie down on the couch and watch television. Perhaps that’ll help me clear my mind.
“Diaz,” he called and handed me a pillow. I took it, and then he placed his things on the table. “Sleep there if you want. I’ll work here.”
Fuck.
When and how are we going back to how we were before? This is getting dangerous.
