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.

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 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?

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.
