A Graduation Gift

Chapter 36 Bleeding Red

Cassandra lay in bed and looked into Rufus's eyes. He hovered over her as his husky voice called out her name, the emotion in it evident.

"Cassandra."

Rufus lowered his head further, still gazing into her eyes.

She bit her lower lip softly and frowned.

Rufus saw her lips twist in pain and lifted the quilt that covered her body. A scarlet stain marred the sheets.

His eyes shifted once again to the woman in bed who groaned out in pain. Instantly, he knew what the problem was - she was on her period. The desire in him was snuffed out like the flame of a candle.

"My belly hurts."

Cassandra lay huddled up on the sheets, still feeling hot. She couldn't control the reactions in her body as her abdomen squeezed in pain once again, and the heavy period leakage made the already scarlet stain even deeper. Rufus's face darkened as he gritted his teeth in frustration.

It had been the beginning of a wonderful night. Of course, her period decided to make an entrance and interrupt them at a most crucial moment.

Cassandra was fully awake at this point. The sharp pain in her belly overrode the desire she had been feeling previously. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Rufus still standing and watching her by the bedside. Pissed off at the motionless man, she grabbed hold of a pillow next to her and slammed it in his face.

"Oh god, why are you still standing there? Go and get me a sanitary napkin immediately!"

Rufus blanched at her audacious request. She must be kidding. It was atrocious of her to demand that he buy her a sanitary pad!

"Fine," he said in a low voice, not revealing his true thoughts.

Even if it was ridiculous, Rufus had no option but to go out and get the pad. It would be even more irresponsible to keep her bleeding on the bed like that, without offering any help.
