Chapter 77 - TAKING CARE OF HIM
Chris knocked on the office door thrice and opened it right after. When she got inside, Chris left to give them space. He was just waiting for them at his desk.
"What time is it?" Stefan asked without opening his eyes. He was lying on a sofa with a cooling pad on his forehead. There was a glass of water on the table as well.
"It\'s time for you to come home." Cayenne answered his question.
"I think I\'m getting worse. I\'m hearing Ayen\'s voice now."
"That\'s because I\'m here."
Stefan opened his eyes immediately and sat up straight. His vision was a bit blurry but after few seconds, he did find her standing in the middle of his office. "Ayen? Why are you here?"
"I\'m taking you home." She mumbled softly. \'I thought so highly of myself. He must not want me to come over here. This is a confidential place, after all.\' Stefan was quiet which made her feel uneasy. She was just worried for him. "I..uhh..I know I came uninvited…uhm, can you just scold me later? Let\'s get you home first."
Stefan nodded his head but he was still quiet. He was uneasy that she came over to his office. Although he likes her and they\'ve been together for over a month now, his office was still off-limits to other people unless he asks them to come over. He was keeping his mouth shut because he didn\'t want to say it to her and hurt her again.
Cayenne helped him stand and he was leaning on her. "I\'ll ask help from Chris. I can\'t have you lean on me for a long time. I\'m smaller compared to you, if you have forgotten."
"It\'s fine. I\'ll be fine once we\'re inside the elevator."
"Okay."
When the two of them came out, Chris locked the office first before coming over to help Cayenne. The two of them brought him directly to the basement where their car was being parked.
All the way home, Stefan had his eyes closed while leaning his head on Cayenne\'s shoulder. His hand was holding hers as well during the whole travel time.
Chris helped him got inside their room while Cayenne was following behind them with his things. As soon as he was done bringing them home, Chris left to give them space in their own nest.
Cayenne went inside the bathroom to get the thermometer and other medical supplies that she would be needing. Stefan was lying on the bed, listening to her movements around the room. \'I won\'t scold her for coming over.\' He told himself again and again to make sure that he won\'t hurt her by accident.
"Stefan, is it fine if I take off your shirt to wipe your body with a wet cloth?"
"Hn." Stefan answered without even looking at her. It was better for Cayenne to do her job while he was closing his eyes because she would be deeply embarrassed if he\'s looking at her.
She slowly unbuttoned his shirt while keeping herself calm. Although she was trying her best, her heart was being so fast and her face was getting hot as well. \'I think I\'m going to have a fever, too.\'
"You don\'t have to do this, Ayen." Stefan held her hand to stop. His eyes were opened and they were hazy and restless. "Can you just help me to the bathroom? I\'ll wipe my own body."
"Okay." Cayenne helped him stand but when she placed her hand on his waist, Stefan held her hand to stop her once again. "Is there something wrong?"
"No." Stefan looked at her, making sure that she was looking at his face instead of the waking beast of his lower anatomy. "I\'ll go to the bathroom myself."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Due to anxiety, his messy brain started to clear up and he was soon thinking straight. He was no longer feeling dizzy which made it easier for him to walk towards the bathroom.
Cayenne just watched him go with a helpless expression on her face. If she was just doubting earlier, this time, she knew that he was angry at her or else, he would never refuse her help.
\'I\'ll just brace myself once he starts scolding me. As long as he won\'t fire me, scolding me is fine. He can scold me however he wants.\'
Stefan on the other hand was suppressing himself. For over a month that he\'d been sleeping with her, this was the third time that he got an erection because of her. The first time was when she fell asleep in his suite after making her drink a wine with him. The moment he woke up, he felt a little uncomfortable as if he wanted to release something, when Cayenne left early in the morning, he also went inside the bathroom to take care of himself. The second time was the first night that Cayenne slept with him in his newly-bought house. Her warmth made him think of naughty ideas and it led him to get an erection in the middle of the night.
After that night, he would think of Cayenne as his warm pillow, a drug to make him sleep or a body pillow. He had to tell himself that she\'s not a woman in order to avoid getting a hard on. He had been successful in doing so but during the day, she would occupy all nook and cranny of his mind.
Inside the bathroom, he took care of his manhood first before taking a warm shower. He needed to get better as soon as possible. Sadly, it was just a wishful thinking on his end.
Cayenne scolded him for taking a shower. She gave him a tablet but Stefan refused to drink it. "Water is fine." He insisted but Cayenne still handed him the medicine tablet. "I don\'t want it." He even averted his face to avoid the tablet.
Since he was not looking at her, Cayenne put the tablet inside her mouth and sipped a good amount of water. She held his chin up, pressed both his cheeks to pry open his mouth and kissed him.
"I\'m very sorry. I\'m sorry. I am sorry, boss. You left me with no other choice. I\'m really sorry."
