ROSALINE
My face was in a frown as I looked at my phone's calendar.
"Not this. Why are you a day earlier?" I grumbled as Russo walked out of bathroom with his hair wet and his bathrobe loosely tied.
Just a little bit more loosely and I would be able to see his...
"Quit staring if you don't want to get fucked this morning, Cara" His deep voice cut through my thoughts and I passed him a fake glare before squeezing my eyes shut tightly as I felt pain in the lower part of my stomach.
"Cara, you are good?" I could feel him beside me already. I opened my eyes and nodded at him.
"I am good" I flashed him a smile that was supposed to reassure him but the look on his face made it clear that he didn't believe my lie one single bit.
"What's wrong with you?" The worried look merged with an authoritative one.
"I am really fine. Just feeling a bit tired, can I work from home today?" I asked, hoping my voice would not give me away.
"Tell me what it is that is wrong with you? Stomach ache? Or your body hurts? You have been eating too little these days too..."
"I am really fine" I grumbled, clutching my stomach and arching my back a bit.
"Menstrual cramps?" His brows furrowed and I felt my cheeks heat up slightly.
"Yes" I slowly nodded with a whisper.
Wordlessly, he got up from his crouched position and I watched him grab his phone before I shut my eyes back.
As expected of a man like Russo. Powerful, rich and feared... The last thing he would want to do was to have anything to do about my period.
"Clear my schedule for the day and fix my appointments reasonably to the rest of the week" I heard his voice and my eyes shot open?
"You are not going to work?" I asked as he ended the call and dropped the phone.
"Why should I? You are not going too." He replied.
I felt my heart skip several beats and for a second the cramps were gone. I felt a warm feeling set around me and my body felt tingly sweet for a second before I shook it off me with an effort.
"Let's get you in a warm bath first." He picked me up from the bed before I could say a word.
No, I had never been in an abusive relationship before but none of the guys I had ever been with acted this way when it came to my period. It was either disguised disgust or avoidance in the name of letting me rest properly.
Getting into the bathroom, the bath had been prepared already.
"I had it prepared already. Good thing it is a warm one" he dropped me gently and began to unbutton his shirt that I was wearing.
I felt my cheeks heat up from embarrassment this time. There was a high chance that I had stained this shirt already while lying in bed.
"You lied yesterday about cramps and today, you are having it a day earlier than usual. Teaches you not to lie, doesn't it?" He asked as he pulled the shirt off me.
"You are the reason I lied yesterday, isn't it?" I folded my arms with a pout.
"Wait a minute..." I looked at his face.
"How do you know that it was a day earlier than usual?" I asked him.
"You marked the previous dates on the calendar in your room so I did the calculation." He replied and that was just how much heart racing I could take for now.
"That's fine..." I shoved his hands off my panties that he was about to take off.
"I will take care of myself."
He was clearly about to protest so I stopped him.
"Go and fetch me pads to use" I said quickly and he gave in.
"You've got heating pad?" He asked.
"Uhm, yes."
"Good." He patted my head gently before walking out.
I let out a soft sigh as the door closed after him. What was he making me feel? He was... He was my uncle and my sex partner. That was all he was so why would he calculate my period? Why was he making me feel sweet? Feel loved?
"Shut up, Rosa. You are thinking too far. Way too far." I smacked myself in the head.

"Here you go" Russo handed me a cup of freshly brewed tea.
I raised a brow at him.
"This is supposed to help with the pains." He said.
Eager to use whatever would actually relieve me of these terrible cramps, I took the cup from him and drank a little of the tea.
"What would you like to have right now?" He asked.
"Chocolates maybe" I grumbled.
"Just right." A small, proud smile appeared on his face.
"Give me a minute" he got up and walked out of the room.
The tea was actually working and along with the heating pad, I felt much more better now. I tucked my hair behind my ears and played with the sheets until he walked back into the room with two bags.
"Chocolates" he emptied the first bag.
"Junkies" he emptied the second bag and my eyes lit up with delight.
"Russo!" I squealed in delight and jumped up on the bed, throwing myself into his arms excitedly.
He caught me easily, a hand wrapping around my waist. I pulled away from the hug when I felt a sharp pull of pain.
"Thank you" I sat back on the bed and grabbed the first chocolate I laid my eyes on.
I opened it and threw a bar into my mouth.
"Oh god" it was perfect.
"Don't moan like that, Cara" Russo groaned and I giggled at how much effect I had on this man in front of me.
"It tastes really good" I told him as he sat on the bed.
"Is the pain still terrible?"
"Not very terrible" I shook my head with a smile.
He had gotten chocolates from different brands since he probably had no idea which was my favourite. Good thing was... I wasn't picky when it came to chocolates! All was my favourite!
"But Russo..."
"How many girls have you taken care of on their period before? You seem to have a lot of experience on how it works."
His hand reached out to my face, cupping my cheek very gently.
"You are the first" he whispered and my body froze again while my heart worked faster.
"Nah, don't kid me..." I tried to laugh it off.
"I am not kidding." His voice was serious.
"When I realized you were going to have your period this week, I used the Google a bit. Didn't take me much time at all to understand it quite well and I actually had the tea, junks and chocolates ready for tomorrow."
Heavens... I needed my heart to stop thumping so wildly in front of him. The fact that I was the first girl he had done this for and the fact that he had actually prepared for this made me feel... I didn't want to say the word anymore.
We were staring into each other's eyes now, his gaze drawing and pulling me in. I had no idea who moved closer to the other or maybe it was the both of us but I knew that we closed the gap between us and our lips locked in a kiss that made my heart almost burst out of its cages.
All my life, I had heard about the feeling of butterflies in one's stomach but I had never really felt it... Until now.
Right now for the first time ever, I felt it.

Not an erotic chapter but this is one of the chapters I love the most because it's my first time writing it. ❤️
