With that thought in mind, she tried her best to keep herself at ease. Ren set her down on the edge of the bed and she snuggled under the covers herself. She even scooted over to make some room for him.
Ren got in bed and turned the lights off. Ruka’s heart skipped a beat as he reached out to pull her close. She was tucked securely against his broad chest.
It just so happened that she was pressed up against his heart. She could hear the steady, powerful beating of his heart, and her own began to pound a little wildly.
She reached out to wrap her arms around his waist. In the darkness, he pulled her chin up. Once her head was tilted high enough, she felt something warm pressing against her lips. His kiss came without any warning.
He was not in a rush. His kiss was slow and tender as if he were savoring the taste of her lips. The fresh scent of mint did nothing to affect the dominance he displayed. It was as if she was his gift -one that he needed to unwrap as patiently as possible, instead of doing it with force.
Ruka grew light–headed from the kiss. She could not think of anything else apart from drowning in his passion. The warmth of his kiss warmed even the crevices of her heart, and her body began to tremble…
Then, disaster struck!
Ruka felt a familiar sensation and hastened to push him away.
“Hm? What’s the matter?” His hoarse voice rang out.
“My… my period just started… just now…” Ruka’s cheeks were burning up in utter embarrassment. Oh gosh! No wonder I’ve been feeling so sleepy lately. After doing some calculations, she realized that it came a week late.
Unfortunately, it chose to come right at this moment. To avoid staining his bedsheets, Ruka quickly jumped off the bed and ran back to her room.
She checked herself once she returned to her room, and true enough, she was right. Thankfully she came prepared, or otherwise, it would be mortifying if he had to go out in the middle of the night to buy pads for her.
After dealing with the crisis, she decided to return to his room, but when she opened her door, she saw him waiting right outside her room.
His eyes had a dangerous glint in them. When she looked into his eyes, she felt like he was going to eat her alive. “I’m sorry…” she apologized at once.
Ren was feeling a little frustrated too, but what could he do?
He stroked her head and pulled her into a hug. “Sleep in my room.”
Ruka shook her head. “I can’t. I might make a mess on your bedsheets.”
“I can always change it.” He was resolute, so she could only nod and follow him back. She could feel her cramps starting up too. They tormented her each month.
Although she climbed back into his bed, she lay there stiffly without daring to move about. She nestled in his arms again, but she could not stop herself from massaging her abdomen gently and inhaling sharply.
“Does it hurt?” He sensed it right away and pressed his large, warm hand against her abdomen.
All of a sudden, Ruka realized just how warm his hand was. It was so warm that it felt like a hot water bottle, and it eased most of her pain. She held his hand and said, “Lend me your warmth!”
Ren used his hand to massage her abdomen, but this time, his hand slid under her pajama top and pressed right against her skin.
Ruka gasped a little, but she enjoyed the warmth of his hand. His chin began to rub against her forehead, and the little stubble made her feel a little ticklish.
“Do you feel better now?” he asked after a while.
“Yeah, a lot better!” Not only was she not in any pain anymore, but she was so comfortable that she was about to fall asleep.
“Go ahead and sleep,” he coaxed as his hand continued to press warmly against her abdomen.
Ruka fell asleep in next to no time, while Ren was fated to stay up a little longer. Once the bed was fully warmed up, he turned the air–conditioning to a higher temperature before sneaking out of bed and heading for the bathroom.
It was morning at last.
Ruka lazed in bed like a drowsy kitten. It was so warm under the covers that she did not feel like opening her eyes, even though she knew the sun was up. She snuggled back into his arms to carry on dreaming.
“Ruka.” His attractive voice rang out beside her ear.
She mumbled sleepily in response and felt a kiss being planted on her lips. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck to stop him from getting out of bed.
Ren did not try to stop her. Usually, he would have gotten out of bed and started working by now, but Ruka was a sleepyhead and she dragged him down with her, so he decided to stay with her a little while longer.
As for Elijah, who was waiting outside to start his daily report to Ren, began to feel rather anxious.
However, a thought occurred to him, and suddenly, he found it perfectly reasonable for Ren to sleep in a little late today.
Finally, at half past eight in the morning, Ren came out of the bedroom fully dressed for work. Elijah gave him an envious look. “Do your reporting downstairs!” Ren said quietly.
“Yes, I understand. Miss Singed needs her sleep,” Elijah responded at once.
By the time Ruka woke up, Ren had gone out. She became a little annoyed with herself. Why did she laze about in bed for so long that she missed out on having breakfast with him? Just as she began to have her breakfast alone feeling all morose, one of the servants came over with a bouquet of flowers. “Miss Singed, Mr. Husson prepared this for you.”
Ruka’s eyes lit up between them.
with excitement. She took the bouquet of red roses over and saw the card stuck
After fishing it out, she saw the message that read, ‘Good morning, my Ruka
He signed it off himself and his signature was just as commanding and authoritative as he was.
It was clear that he bought the flowers and wrote the card himself before asking someone to deliver it to the house for her.
Ruka felt all warm and fuzzy inside. The servants had also prepared warm ginger tea to help keep her body warm. He must have instructed them to do so!
Even though he was not beside her right now, she could still feel his tender care. At noon, she received a call from her mother who informed her that they were packing up now and getting ready to move into their new house.
“Ruka, Ren prepared a villa for us. It looks very grand and luxurious, and the security system is top– notch. We’ll be safe here,” Claire described gratefully.
“Mom, do you need me to come and help you with the move?”
“No. Ren has sent some people over to help us out. There’s a large truck stopped outside the house right now. I think we’ll be done with just one trip since the villa is fully furnished. We’ll just need to bring along our daily necessities.”
Ruka could deduce that Ren prepared a new house for her parents to protect them. If she married him, her parents would also become part of his closest circle, and he needed to do this to prevent them from being attacked by those with ulterior motives.
At the Translation Department.
Victoria came out of the conference room looking as pale as a sheet. Her eyes were filled with hatred and the unwillingness to concede. She never thought that Ren would act against her so mercilessly.
