She's My Sleeping Pill

She felt that it was better to give them space as they patch up their relationship.

Of course, Stefan would never refuse a lovely opportunity such as this where he could spend more time with his wife.

"I hope the kids will become adults soon," Stefan muttered while sitting on the side of the pool while Cayenne stood underwater next to him. "I want us to spend more time just like this."

"If we keep doing this, you will get tired of seeing my face and you will eventually feel that I'm boring and that you would need someone else to spice things up in your life."

"I feel like throwing up from your words," Stefan said and even acted like he was about to puke. "Why would I do that? That may be true for other men, but not me. Life with you is full of excitement and surprises."

"Really?"

"Uh-huh."

"Like?" Stefan jumped down into the pool, held his wife's hand, and placed it on his bulging manhood under his shorts. She blinked her eyes several times in disbelief. "Seriously? We're outside our room. In a public pool."

"I know," Stefan whispered and kissed her face. "That is why I said life with you is full of excitement."

"No, hon. We're not doing that here."

"Who said I would do it here? I may be shameless but I am not an exhibitionist. Aside from that, I don't want anyone else to hear your sexy moans. I'll rip off their ears."

"So, what are you going to do about that?" Cayenne asked in embarrassment. She still couldn't believe that he would get hard at this moment. "Will you be okay?"

"No, I won't unless you will give me a hand here,"

"You already got my hand," Cayenne retorted, and realizing what they were doing; they both laughed. "Hon, you're hopeless."

"You can't blame me. This little guy only wakes up for my wife," Stefan whispered and chuckled.

Looking around, Cayenne noticed that there were few people in the pool since it was nighttime already. Most of the guests were at the beach and she thought it would be fine to do a little kinky thing. She just felt really guilty that Stefan had to endure something. She could not enjoy her pool time anymore.

"Let's rent that secluded cottage over there," Cayenne suggested before moving away to get her phone from the rattan chair. "It will be quick. Just endure it for a little bit more. I'll call the manager."

"Hon, it's fine. It will be gone soon. I just need to keep myself submerged in this cold pool," Stefan said in worry. He knew that when push comes to shove, Cayenne would do something to help him. "Let's order some cold drinks instead. It will help me, but I will surely ask you for repayment later."

With his assurance, Cayenne put her phone down and returned to the pool. Stefan called for Nikolai's attention immediately and asked him to order something they could drink and to bring more ice with him as well.

Half an hour later, Celestine came while holding her father's hand to help him walk slowly to the pool area where Cayenne and Stefan spent their time together. "Dad and I have reconciled already and it is all thanks to you both. I can't thank you enough for giving me this opportunity."

"Any misunderstanding will be solved if talked in a sincere and peaceful manner. Am I right, love?" Cayenne said while taking a glance at her husband who seemed fine now.

"That is true," Stefan emotionlessly said in agreement. They were speaking based on their experiences as a couple who misunderstood each other a lot of times in the past. "Everyone deserves a second chance and I wish you all the best, Auntie."

Cayenne could not see Celestine's expression very well because of the lights and the shadows, but she felt her sincerity. She could only hope that it was the same thing for Julia.

"By the way, Dad and I talked about spending more time together after all the years that I have been away," Celestine expressed while keeping a faint and awkward smile on her face. "He agreed to come back home with me. Is it okay with you two?"

"It's Grandpa's decision," Stefan said without a ripple of emotion on his face. "I don't think there's anything wrong with that as well."

"But it's getting really late now," Ferdinand said while looking up into the sky. "I'd like to take a rest in my room first. Tomorrow, we should all have breakfast together."

"That would be great," Cayenne responded happily. "Goodnight, Grandpa."

"I'll go and take a rest as well," Celestine said and left with her father. Not far from them, Elliot was following Celestine with his gaze.

Watching Elliot from a distance, Stefan and Cayenne could tell that the man genuinely cared for Celestine, and they were both worried for the man and Rey.

Although they couldn't be considered the best of friends, they were once each other's trusted partners. It would be painful to see them become enemies.

"Hon, have you investigated Elliot? Apart from the information I gave you, is there something else to his identity? I'm not sure if I'm just seeing things but it seemed to me that he loves Celestine."

Stefan touched his wife's head and kissed her forehead before answering her. "He is Celestine's lover. After her family got kicked out, her husband hated her because he thought that Celestine no longer has value to him. Apparently, she was abused since she arrived in Italy, but because she just came there and she had no friends, no one helped her get away from him. That was when she met Elliot.

Anyway, things happened and now he is her secret lover and protector."

"Julia doesn't know about it?"

"I bet she doesn't because she only sees Elliot as a bodyguard and Elliot sees her as a nuisance. If Julia would ever do something that would put Celestine's life in danger, I think that man would, no doubt, dispose of her."
