She's My Sleeping Pill

They couldn’t get inside the university due to the tight inspection. They didn’t see any of their vehicles as well which means, she didn’t go to school. They had no idea that they were using a different vehicle when coming to Xena University. And sometimes, she’d attend her classes through zoom. They outsmarted him and it angered him so much.

Not only that, his men couldn’t get close to Luiz or Kyle either. Peach Wood subdivision became stricter with its security measure and Dominic was heavily guarded. They didn’t see Stefan come in and out of their house in City B or any of his company. It was like he disappeared with his wife. However, he knew that it was impossible. He was sure that he was just somewhere, hiding from him.

“I’ll double your pay but you have to make sure that you’d find a way for me to get them! You have one week! No more, no less. I want her head in a silver platter or Dominic’s heart in a bowl. I want them dead! You hear me! Dead! If I find them alive after a week, I will hunt you down myself!”

His hired men only said ‘yes’ to his order but remained quiet after that. They left in a hurry to carry out their task, hoping that they’d be able to finish it.

On the other hand, Cayenne just finished her 2nd subject for her afternoon class. This time, she attended the class via zoom. Since she didn’t go to school, Stefan didn’t go to the company as well. Thomas Madrigal had a study room in his mansion at Hacienda Amore but because Travis lives with Jillyanna in her house, they moved all the important stuff to her house. Travis allowed them to use this room for Cayenne’s class and Stefan’s work.

.....

They can use the house for as long as they want for free. They were only responsible for their own food and security.

Cayenne has her own table across from Stefan to make sure that they won’t disturb each other’s work. Seeing his serious face with his anti-radiation glasses, she raised her hand on the table and placed her chin on her palm, and focused her attention on him. He looked so handsome when working.

As someone who craves attention from his wife, Stefan knew that she was looking at him and he couldn’t help himself say, “If you keep looking at me, you’ll end up scooping me with your hands because I’ll end up in a puddle.”

She only chuckled at his statement as she sat up straight to stretch her legs. “I have half an hour break before the next class starts. Do you want me to get something for you?” Cayenne asked since she was planning to get some snacks from the kitchen.

“How about we do something?”

“Can’t do something naughty and we won’t finish in half an hour. Don’t even think of denying it.”

“You are absolutely right. We need to spend half the night for that alone.” Stefan responded with a wink which made her roll her eyes at him.

“I’ll get some chocolate.”

“Perfect! I want sex with M&M on you.”

“Sure! I’ll surely give you some when I get back.”

She has 30 minutes before her next class starts and Stefan has a few minutes left before his next meeting with the hotel directors. They were both busy but he made sure to always have time to monitor the wedding plan and the construction of their new house. No matter what happens, he wanted to give his wife the best wedding that every girl would wish to have. He wouldn’t settle for less when it comes to her.

So far, she hadn’t found anything related to it yet and he was hoping that she won’t because this would be his surprise for her.

Not long after, Cayenne came back with a solo cup of M&M chocolate ice cream. She loves sweets but Stefan wasn’t so fond of them so, she decided to share the solo cup with him instead.

Stefan thought that she would bring her chair next to him or probably sit on his desk while eating, but he didn’t expect her to be so brave and sit on his lap directly. “Hubby, we have to share this ice cream since I cannot eat too much before dinner.”

“Sure. You have to feed me, then. I still have to finish something.”

“Okay. Let me know once my break is over. I have to join the next class.”

With her back facing his computer, Cayenne has no idea that Stefan will have a meeting in the next 8 minutes. She only thought that he was reviewing documents that Elena sent since that was what she saw before sitting on him.

“Here.” She scooped the ice cream with her spoon and gave it to Stefan. The next scoop was hers and the third scoop was hers again. The ratio was 2:1 with Stefan getting the latter. The only sweet thing that he’ll never get enough of would be his wife. If he can lick her all the time, he would do so.

“Good afternoon, boss.” Elena’s voice came from the computer behind Cayenne and she immediately stiffened when she heard it. “Oh...uhh.. We didn’t know...I’ll end – ”

“It’s fine. She’s about to join her class soon. Just give me a – Nnghh!”

Whatever it was that he wanted to say, they ended up stuck in his throat as he grunted in pain from her bite. Instead of pushing her away like what others normally do, Stefan cradled her head and let her wife vent her embarrassment on him. She bit his shoulder for a few seconds before getting up on her feet.

“Are you okay?” he asked instead of her asking him.

Cayenne sulked as she ate one last scoop of her ice cream before she gave him the rest. “For your shoulder, if you won’t eat it.”

Instead of saying something to agree or disagree – well, mostly to agree with her, Stefan picked up his phone and typed something on his note app. [Sorry, I’m wrong. I’ll let you punish me tonight on one condition.]

Cayenne raised her eyebrow in question of what the condition would be which he then typed, [A sweet punishment is very welcome.}

In the end, he had to catch an eraser before it hits him squarely on the face. His laughter echoed inside the study room and the directors heard his hearty laughter as well.

[I am sure that I came here for a meeting. Or was I mistaken? Am I supposed to watch the boss and eat dog food?]

[They’re only sweet now because they are in the early stage of a relationship. For sure, he’d get tired of her.]

[Young people are always full of energy. I’m jealous.]

Oblivious to the thoughts of the directors, Stefan started the meeting and Cayenne went back to her own table. For sure, the night will be long for them later.
