Chapter 98 - Committed Another Sin

Unknowingly, Eros started moving his face closer to hers. His eyes were fixed on Selene's soft lips.

The more he wanted to resist her the more he was being drawn to her. Eros couldn't fight the urge to kiss her. As time went by, he was craving for her more. 

Once again, Eros committed another sin, breaking another rule. He kissed her again. The feel of her soft delicate lips against his was so addicting.

Eros's lips were gently brushing hers. He was careful not to wake her up. But part of him wanted Selene to respond. He missed the way she kissed him passionately when they were at the hotel's rooftop.

'Damn! What am I doing? I can't stop myself. I… want this. I really want this to happen,' Eros thought to himself.

Eros's heart was racing rapidly with both excitement and nervousness. He didn't know how Selene would react if ever she would catch him doing this. He was like theft at night, stealing a kiss from Selene.

Eros continued nibbling on her lower and upper lips alternately. His tongue was tracing the corner of her lips, tasting and licking her as if she was an ice cream dessert, very sweet and delicious.

He only stopped when he felt that Selene moved a little. Eros froze in his spot when he saw her brown eyes looking at him in confusion. She woke up!

Selene, who was still in her half-conscious and half-unconscious state, couldn't distinguish whether what she was seeing was just a dream or not.

'Is it a dream? Why am I seeing Gabriel in front of me?' Selene asked herself, feeling puzzled.

The room was very silent. Only the sound of Eros's loud heartbeat and his heavy breathing could be heard inside the room. Eros didn't dare to make unnecessary noise. 

His blue eyes were just staring at her sleepy brown eyes intently. He was waiting for Selene to scold him or slap him in the face. She had just caught him kissing her without her consent.

But to his surprise, Selene didn't do either of the two. She even raised her hands, cupping and holding his face. The next thing she did surprised Eros to the core.

Selene pulled his head closer and then their lips were touching once more. She was now responding to his kiss, thinking that this was just a dream.

Selene couldn't understand herself but she didn't feel wrong when kissing Gabriel. She felt a familiar feeling toward him as if she had done this before.

Then a memory flashed in Selene's mind. She saw the same scene that she remembered when she was in Renz's car and he was about to kiss her. 

She recalled the silver-gray-haired man whom she saw in her memory. In that faint memory, he couldn't recognize the face of the man before. But this time, it became clearer as she continued kissing Gabriel.

'Why does the man look like Gabriel? Why am I kissing this man again? Another strange dream,' Selene mumbled to herself.

Her eyes were already closed, savoring the passionate kiss with Eros. Because of Selene's initiative, Eros's desire reignited inside him. He deepened the kiss, invading her mouth using his tongue.

Selene didn't stop him. She even parted her lips, inviting him in. Soon, their tongue met, entangling each other inside her mouth. He caught hers, licking and sucking it.

The kiss became more heated as Eros wanted to devour her delicate lips. He couldn't get enough of her. He even changed his position now. He was now on top of Selene. 

Their bodies were pressed closely together while Selene wrapped her arms around the back of his neck.

'Selene, you are driving me nuts!'

Selene moaned softly when Eros gently bit her lower lip. They were just going with the flow as they didn't want the moment to end. By instinct, Eros left her lips, giving each other some time to catch their breath.

He leaned his forehead on hers, his hand caressing her cheeks. They stayed like that for several minutes until Selene went back to sleep. Eros just looked at her helplessly.

"How can you sleep like that even after sharing a passionate kiss with me?"

Eros heaved a deep sigh before planting a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Goodnight, Selene," he softly mumbled. Then he rolled over, laying his back on the bed. Selene was now sound asleep next to him.

He turned to the side, tilting his body to face her sleeping figure. His lips curled up into a satisfied smile. Eros was so happy. Selene allowed him to kiss her again.

This time Eros had no plan of erasing Selene's memory. He was curious about how she would react tomorrow once she woke up.

Eros was about to get up and went to his room when suddenly Selene turned to his side, wrapping her hand on Eros's waist. She moved closer to him, hugging him tightly.

Selene mistook him as her pillow. She clung to him tightly as soon as she felt his warmth. She liked it. She became more comfortable sleeping with him.

Eros didn't know what to do. He was contemplating whether to stay longer like this or leave her. But since he couldn't escape Selene's tight grip, Eros just stayed still, letting her hug him all she wanted.

He just made a mental note that he would get up as soon as Selene released him. Several hours had passed but Selene didn't let go of him. In the end, Eros suddenly felt sleepy.

He wondered if it was just a natural reaction since he was using his human form so his body was also craving for sleep. After a while, Eros drifted off to sleep while cuddling Selene.

*****

The next morning…

Selene woke up with the golden rays of the sun peeking at her windows. She felt better now compared to last night. It seemed that a proper sleep was what she needed to recover quickly.

Her fever went down. Her temperature was back to normal. She smiled as she remembered Gabriel who took care of her last night.

She yawned and stretched her hands before getting up. However, even before she sat up, a strong hand suddenly pulled her waist, engulfing her in a warm hug. 

She gasped in surprise when she learned that she was not alone in her bed. She turned around only to see Eros sleeping soundly beside her.

'GABRIEL??! What is he doing in my bed?" Selene was shocked beyond belief. She had the urge to punch him and push him off the bed.

She was about to kick him out of her bed when she remembered something. Selene's jaw dropped, her eyes widened as a realization came to her.

"Oh, Sh*t!? What kind of sin did I commit last night?! Don't tell me… I was not dreaming. It was real… I-I kissed Gabriel?"

Selene's mind became in chaos as she realized what she had done. In the middle of the night, she woke up. 

Due to her sleepiness, Selene didn't realize that Eros was the one who kissed her first thus waking her up in the process.

In her sleepy state, she thought she was just dreaming when she saw Eros's face in front of her. The dim light coming from her lampshade was enough to see his handsome face.

Eros was gazing at her with his scorching blue eyes. She was mesmerized by those beautiful orbs that her body moved reflexively, raising her arms and pulling his head closer to her.

In her memory, it was her who initiated the kiss and Gabriel just reciprocated it.

'Oh my gosh?! What have I done? What have I done? Did I just give my first kiss to Gabriel? No! No! No!'

Selene was in her panicking mode. She smacked her face twice. She didn't know how she would redeem herself. She felt like she cheated on Renz because of that!

It did not take long when Eros finally woke up because of Selene's movement. He saw her covering her face using both hands.

'Eh, what's wrong with her?' Eros pondered to himself.

He immediately sat up and asked Selene. "Selene, are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?"

Selene's body stiffened when she heard that voice. She just noticed that Gabriel was already awake. She bit her lower lip. She didn't know how she would face him. She felt so embarrassed and guilty.

With her silence, Eros figured out that Selene was having a hard time accepting what transpired last night.

Selene avoided looking at Gabriel. She just shook her head as a response, her hands still covering her face.

Eros took a deep sigh. He didn't want Selene to feel awkward or uncomfortable because of what happened last night. It was his fault for being greedy.

Eros moved closer to her, taking her hands off her face. He wanted to meet her gaze.

"Selene, it's alright... It's alright," Eros softly mumbled, consoling Selene.
