She's My Sleeping Pill

When they arrived home, Cayenne also woke up. Stefan was planning to carry her upstairs but she didn't want to tire him even more.

"You can put me down." Cayenne told him and Stefan did as she said. Cayenne took the cookie jar and brought inside while the guards carried the things that Cayenne's father shopped for her. "We're home." Cayenne announced their arrival upon entering their house.

Jonas and Luiz were in the living room, playing chess while Kyle watch on the sideline. Erwin was facing his phone, chatting with someone overseas.

"Welcome home." Kyle greeted his sister and brother-in-law first.

"Welcome back." Luiz and Jonas said at the same time without looking towards Cayenne. They were so serious while looking at the chess board.

Cayenne rolled her eyes and walked toward them, handing the jar to Luiz. "That's from Jade."

"Oh. Thank you. I'll send a message to her later." Luiz took the jar of cookies and continued to play with his father.

Cayenne and Stefan didn't bother them as well and just walked upstairs to their room. "Do you want to shower together?" Stefan asked, hoping they would since they showered together this morning. However, Cayenne shook her head in refusal. "You don't want to?" The trace of disappointment lingered in his voice.

"I don't want to do anything extreme tonight. I feel really sleepy."

Hearing her response, Stefan smiled and suddenly scooped her up and carried her to the bathroom. "We won't do anything extreme tonight."

He said they won't do anything extreme but he didn't say that he won't do anything. When Cayenne realized it, it was too late. Her husband played her with words again.

She was leaning on the wall with the warm shower falling on them. Stefan was thrusting himself in and out of her core, gently and slowly pushing himself into her deep crevice. It was even more difficult to stay sane at this point.

Cayenne wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. "Don't be so slow, idiot." Cayenne mumbled in a dazed state.

"Can't do anything extreme."

"You'll sleep outside if you won't keep going at this pace."

Her threaten worked really well and Stefan moved a little bit faster this time. It was fast and deep strokes, sending her to the edge of bliss and pulling her back to earth. Every time she wanted to release herself, he'd suddenly slow down and gave her shallow thrusts. She was about to go insane.

Cayenne felt aggrieved and slapped his back. "Why are you teasing me this way? I didn't even tease you."

"You didn't?"

"I didn't."

"You did."

"No, I didn't." She closed her eyes and bit her lower lips when Stefan hit her good spots. He was doing it slowly to tease her again. "If you won't give me release, I won't see you in a week."

Stefan decided to take things seriously now and didn't tease her anymore. He caressed her chest with her tongue, licking and sucking on them until she cried in ecstasy. She was throbbing all around him, clamping onto his shaft while they kissed.

After the shower, Cayenne was standing in front of him with her arms crossed. Stefan was holding her clothes and was helping her change while she still sulked. "You played with your words."

"I didn't."

"Stop denying it."

"I was just using the loophole from your sentence."

"So, it's my fault?"

"Nope. It's my fault."

"Good." Cayenne raised her arms so that he can put on her blouse. "You're very cheeky." She commented while Stefan buttoned up her silk blouse.

"I wasn't."

"Right. You were not. You are only shameless."

"But wifey, you're the one who asked me to go –"

"Sshh! Don't say it."

"Why not? It was really you – "

"It was really your imagination."

"It was?"

"Yes."

"But I clearly hear you say –"

Cayenne stood on her toes and kissed his lips to shut his mouth. "I didn't say anything so, forget what you have imagined, okay?"

"But –"

Cayenne rolled her eyes at him and kissed him again. "You can just tell me you want to be kissed, alright. You don't have to mention those nonsense things."

Stefan's grin widened as he got what he wanted. "Can I have another kiss?"

"Such an insatiable beast." Cayenne whispered before kissing him again, with tongue, saliva and all. They just kissed in the bathroom and now in the bedroom. The two of them kissed until their lungs hurt for the lack of oxygen.

"Practice makes perfect." Stefan commented as he pulled away from her. "I should teach you another thing."

"I don't want to." Cayenne instantly turned around and climbed up to their bed but Stefan took hold of her ankle. "Darling, you did me twice already tonight. Don't tell me you're not satisfied yet?"

Stefan wanted to say yes but he knew she couldn't take it anymore so he denied it. "You forgot to put your night cream and other stuff." In the end, this was what he said.

"But I am so tired already."

"Give me the names and I'll apply them for you."

Cayenne gave her the items she needed for her skin care and Stefan picked them up from her vanity table. She was already lying on their bed. "Just read the directions." She told him and Stefan did. One after another, he placed the right amount on his finger before putting it on her face.

He was gently applying the items and he was done, Cayenne was already sound asleep. Stefan watched her sleeping face and smile. He still couldn't get over his happiness that he found her. After making sure that he didn't forget anything, he got under the blanket and moved closer to his wife, hugging her to sleep just like always.

Stefan has always dream of his brother's death in front of him but when she came to his life, it's very seldom that he dreams but tonight was an exception. Although he was dreaming of his brother once again, it was no longer unpleasant. He no longer sees him in a puddle of blood.

This time, in his dream, Alexander was still the same young Alexander but he was smiling at him. He was happily waving his hand at him, telling him to leave his life to the fullest. It was just a dream but it meant so much to Stefan.
