She's My Sleeping Pill

“You can count on me.” Vincent replied while walking to his office. He may be the youngest warden but he’s not someone you can just push around. He’s decisive and accurate in his work and also made sure that everyone follows protocol. Sadly, there are some who just don’t know how to obey and one of those people was Napoleone.

Back to Xena University, Cayenne just finished her second subject for her afternoon class and since the 3rd and 4th subject teachers weren’t around, they were dismissed earlier. Thus, her break finally started. She didn’t have to think about waking up early or think about assignments and projects. She could finally rest and focus her time with her family.

Instead of waiting for her at the café, Stefan has come to pick her up right outside the campus. Many students enviously looked towards Cayenne as the guard surrounded her to the waiting car.

“I’m glad your class ended early.” Stefan mentioned while taking her bag for her and placed it at the back seat. When he grabbed the extra bag that he gave earlier in the morning, a frown appeared on his face. “No period today?”

Cayenne tilted her head a little as she looked at him in surprise. “Stop guessing when I’ll have my period. It can be delayed.”

“You’ve always had regular period cycle. I never missed it. I’ve always been paying attention to your body. How can I not know something so simple as this?”

.....

“It can be delayed due to some factors. Don’t worry. It would probably come tonight or tomorrow.”

Seeing how calm she was at this point; Stefan narrowed his gaze and scrutinized his wife’s expression. “You are not pranking me, right?”

“Why would I do that?” Cayenne retorted with laughter dancing in her eyes.

“You are asking me that? Really? Shall we recall what you did – ”

“Fine. Sorry about that time but I’m being honest right now.”

“You better be. I just want to make sure everything’s alright for you. Your safety and health are my priorities so bear with me, okay.”

“I understand. I’m totally okay with you fussing about things like this.” Cayenne shifted on her seat and faced him directly with expectant gaze. “However, I’m really hoping this isn’t just about being delayed.”

“No way.” Stefan retorted instantly when he got the hidden meaning of her words. “That can’t possibly be happening any time soon. I always checked the condoms before using them.”

“Who knows?”

“Stop scaring me.”

“What so scary about me getting pregnant? Don’t you want a child?”

“Of course, I want a child; children in fact. But not now. You are too young to get pregnant. You are still studying. You haven’t enjoyed your life that much yet. You still have so many things you can do. Aside from that, if we’re not careful about this and we are not prepared, your body and health could be at risk. And it will affect the baby, too. I just – what?”

Cayenne couldn’t stop herself anymore and laughed so hard in front of him. She laughed with tears hanging on her lashes while looking at her husband’s face. “You should have seen how anxious you are.”

“That’s not funny.”

“Sorry.” she apologized but was still laughing at him.

“You are not really sorry, are you?” Stefan retorted with a deep sigh. “You better prepare yourself. I will not let this slide.”

“Huh? What are you planning to do?”

“I’m planning to make your dream come true. Let’s see if you’d be able to get up later.”

Realizing her mistake, Cayenne pleaded her husband to be lenient but Stefan ignored her until they reached their destination. She didn’t even know where they are because she wasn’t paying attention to the road and her surroundings. She was just trying her best to make him change his mind.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, she wasn’t really sure if she would consider it her luck but, when the night came and she was about to get punished, she felt a sudden pain on her lower abdomen.

“Don’t even try your acting skills with me.” Stefan commented while taking off his robe. He just got out from the bath and Cayenne was supposed to take a shower after him. In fact, he planned to shower with her but she refused it with determination. His wife has finally learned to refused him. She has become wise. She knew that when he punishes her, it would take them all night before he gets satisfied.

“Stefan, where’s that bag you brought earlier?”

The light coming from the lamp shade wasn’t really bright but when Stefan looked at his wife closely, he confirmed that she wasn’t acting. Panic struck him and he immediately changed to the over protective Stefan. “Give me a sec.” He looked for the bag that he brough earlier and took the things he always prepares for her in case she has her period.

Seeing his panic-stricken face while naked, Cayenne didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this point. “Can you wear some clothes first?”

“Don’t mind me. You’ve seen this body several times already.” He stated unabashedly in front of her. “Here. Use this hot compress while I make some ginger tea for you.”

Taking the hot compress from him, she suppressed the blush on her face while avoiding eye contact with him. “At least put on your bathrobe.”

Seeing her complicated expression, Stefan leaned closer and bit her earlobe. “Are you turned on despite having your period? Shall we try something dirty tonight? I heard it can relieve you from menstrual cramps.”

Hearing his words, Cayenne felt something coming out of her core. She knew it wasn’t just blood but there’s no way she’d tell him that.

“It’s a little bit kinky and dirty. I don’t mind getting extra charge for messing up the bedsheets.”

“Stop.” Cayenne placed her hand over his mouth to stop him from talking but he licked her palm instead. She was blushing even more as she removed her hand away from him but Stefan took this opportunity to grab her waist and pull her closer. “Stefan.”

She thought he would really mess with her and do something dirty but Stefan took the hot compress and placed on her lower stomach. “I was just joking.”

“Tsk!” she pushed him immediately and went back to bed with the hot compress in her hand.

Stefan laughed at her reaction as he stood up to make ginger tea for her. “We’re even now.”

“Hmp!”

“I don’t mind doing what I said, though.” Stefan added with faint laughter in his voice. “It will be a messy experience but it can get hot and pleasurable.”

Just imagining it, Cayenne felt her body temperature increase. “We can try it.” she mumbled softly, not sure if Stefan heard her or not.

“Did you say something?”

“No.” She instantly denied but in truth, Stefan heard the words she said. And he will have the opportunity to use it against her in the future. Just not this time because her sweat-dotted forehead worried him so much.
