She's My Sleeping Pill

Cayenne came home around 10:00 PM with her brother Kyle. The first thing she ever did was check the kitchen for any food, and sure enough there was a note for her plastered on the refrigerator. She read it mentally instead of saying it out loud.

[Let's eat together once you're back.] Even though she couldn't see the second floor from the kitchen, she instinctively looked up in the direction of the nursery room.

Cayenne took the small piece of paper with her and went upstairs.

Stefan had fallen asleep in the triplet's room. Jahzara and Zeki were inside the crib while Aziel slept on top of his father's chest. [Hmm, this little guy is taking over my place.] She thought and smiled while watching them from the door. Stefan heard the opening of the door and a moment later, he caught a whiff of his wife's perfume.

"Welcome home," he mumbled and slowly lifted his son with him as he sat up straight on the bed. "Did you just arrive?"

"Hn. I'll reheat the food. Come outside once you've transferred him to his crib."

"Okay. I'll be right there."

Cayenne went back to the kitchen, washed her hands, and reheated the food that Stefan prepared for her. When attending social events, Cayenne wasn't allowed to eat anything if it wasn't made by her husband or someone trusted by her husband. Sometimes, she would get some drink from the waiters passing by, but she wouldn't really drink it. It was just part of her props.

At most, she can only bring sliced fruits with her inside a tiny food keeper and hide them in her purse.

Silently, Stefan snaked his arms around her waist from behind and kissed the back of her ears. "I missed you so much. What took you so long?"

"I didn't expect to receive a lot of partnership offers from different companies and brands. Did you have a hard time with the kids?"

"Nope. They were amazing."

"Then, why are you sulking?"

"Because I wanted to go and get you," he answered and buried his face in the crook of her neck. "I wanted to leave the house so bad, but the children were with me."

Cayenne couldn't stop her chuckles from coming out of her mouth after what Stefan said. His helplessness in taking care of the children instead of taking care of his wife made him look even more adorable. She was always his priority above everything and everyone else. She didn't know if she should be happy about it or if she should pity her children for being only second to their mother.

Cayenne shifted her position and faced her husband who looked like an abandoned puppy. He cupped his face and kissed his lips with a smile. "I missed you, too. I missed you every second that I was away."

"Really?"

"Hn."

"Then, prove to me how much you missed me."

Cayenne could only roll her eyes at this man who really knew how to guilt-trip her. She kissed the tip of his nose, his eyes, his cheeks, his lips, and the knuckles of his hands to show her sincerity and how much she missed him. In the end, the kisses turned fiery and more passionate.

Stefan turned off the countertop burner and carried his wife off to the living room. The sound of their kisses could be heard in the dead silence of the night, and not long after, Cayenne was already panting on top of her husband. She stared directly into her eyes and saw her reflection.

"We're not alone at home," she whispered, and it was all that he needed from her before he carried her upstairs – into their room.

As soon as he closed the door, Cayenne was at the mercy of his hands and mouth. She really wanted to praise her husband for having such skillful hands – skillful enough for her to never realize how and when he was able to remove her clothes.

"Turn around for me," Stefan whispered, and she did. Cayenne felt the coldness of the wall pressing on her chest at first. Then her husband pulled her a little away from the wall until she was only pressing her hands on it for support.

Feeling his hard phallus slowly getting inside her, stretching her until she felt so full; Cayenne couldn't stop her moans anymore. Thankfully, their bedroom was soundproofed.

From the door to their bedroom, and to their bathroom, Cayenne didn't know how many times they did it, but she felt so satisfied after several rounds. In the end, the food which should have been their dinner became their super early breakfast around 2:00 AM.

Stefan felt like he had just fallen asleep next to his wife when the children started crying in the next room. He checked the time it was still five in the morning.

He got up to check on the kids when Cayenne held his arm to stop him. "Hon, the children are crying. Let me check on them first. I'll be right back. Just go to sleep. It's still early."

Cayenne nodded even though she wasn't really understanding most of the things that he said.

Stefan went to the nursery room and checked on the kids one after another. It turned out that Aziel needed a change of diapers and Jahzara cried after waking up because of her brother's loud wail. As for Zeki, he was just staring at his siblings.

After changing Aziel's diaper, he placed him back in the crib and slowly rocked it back and forth to put the babies back to sleep. In silence, Zeki just went back to his slumber while the other two took a little longer.

Stefan went back to his wife's arms and enjoyed her warm hug before falling back to sleep. He always felt at ease and secure whenever he could feel her close to him.

By the time Cayenne woke up around 10:00 AM, Stefan was no longer there. His space in the bed was already cold which means he had gone out for quite some time already. However, she found and white tulip flower on top of the bedside drawer next to her which made her smile.

She checked her phone for any messages and found a lot of them came from one of her employees – Addie, her makeup artist.

"Yen, please help me!"

"Miss Yen, please hide me!"

Cayenne frowned at these messages while wondering what the woman could have meant. She called her as soon as she could, but no one answered. She tried it again and it was to no avail. Since she could not get hold of her, she decided to contact Tristan right away.

Tristan was already in his office when Cayenne's call came, yet before he could say anything, he heard her urgent demand.  "Find out where Addie is right now. Send someone to get her as soon as you locate her."

"Got it."
