It turned out she had been lost in a horny daze for two weeks. Two weeks! No wonder she was so sore and her body was so weak. They had expected it to last longer.
No way. She wasn't some sex starved maniac. Even though she was tempted every time she saw a picture of Thieren, she could hold back her urges. She had lived so many years without it, she could continue to do so.
But he had such nice muscles. His figure was perfect. His abs and his chest muscles made her want to reach out and…
"My lady, are you needing your husband again? Shall we call him back?"
"Nonononono," Stacey shook the image from her head.
"The effects of that drug are long lasting. It'll be best if you can deal with all your urges and get pregnant quickly."
What?!
Stacey turned to look at the cold face of Elsa by her side in shock.
"That is our duty as women, is it not?" Elsa said with a straight face.
Get pregnant? Stacey couldn't imagine such a thing happening to her. But given that she had practically squeezed her husband dry so many times in these past two weeks, it was highly possible.
When was her last period?
Stacey crumpled her face in thought but couldn't seem to remember. She looked at Elsa who appeared confused by her reaction.
"Honestly, the doctors said it is unlikely for you to fall pregnant at this time," Elsa admitted. "They said your body is too weak and needs to recover further. Even if you do happen to fall pregnant, it is likely your body will reject the embryo. Your menstrual cycle hasn't resumed since you had your stroke yet."
Stacey couldn't help slumping back in the chair in relief.
"I tested your urine last night. You aren't pregnant yet," Elsa added.
Stacey nodded and waved a hand to shoo Elsa away. She wanted some space.
"But it may be still to early to tell," Elsa reminded her, causing Stacey to stiffen up again.
The door opened and Thieren strode in, throwing his jacket to one side. He unbuttoned his shirt and Stacey swallowed. She couldn't help it. He was so handsome. She really, really wanted to…
Later in bed, Thieren drew slow circles with his forefinger on Stacey's skin while she shuddered beneath him.
"I'm going to miss all this when the drug wears off," he sighed. "Knowing you, you probably won't even let me within three metres of you again once you come back to yourself. Your clinginess at the moment is endearing. Although I feel like we've done it way too many times these past few days, I feel I may be living a celibate life for a long time afterwards. Promise me you won't completely reject me when you wake up properly, ok?"
Stacey nodded obediently, allowing him to kiss her. Whatever he said was right. He was too handsome and intense and wonderful for her to refuse.
He tweaked her nose and smiled at her glare.
"In another few days, you probably aren't going to let me anywhere near you, not to mention let me share a bed with you," he sighed. "You'll probably feel betrayed and that I took advantage of you. Please try not to be too disgusted with me and hate me anymore than you already do. I had to keep you occupied or you'd jump any male that came near you. The drug was pretty strong."
Stacey grumbled at him and made a face, batting his hand away.
"So, knowing you'll want to hide from me once you're better or escape, I've already accepted a few variety shows for you. The same one your roommates are going to be in. You'll be away for three months, filming with all of them. We'll start another daily diary on your video channel. I hope you enjoy your working holiday."
Whatever he said was good. Whatever he said was right, because he had a mesmerising voice that made her feel like she could get pregnant just listening to it.
Stacey smiled at him and he kissed her upturned face with a smile.
"I hope you'll be this sweet to me again one day. Preferably not under the influence of a drug. I hope you can one day fall in love with me. I can't say I exactly love you right now either, but I definitely care about you more than any other person in my life right now. Perhaps we'll fall in love properly later."
