Adler runs his hands down my spine while I cling to him, his lips finding my collarbone. “What's gotten into you today, kitten?” He asks.
I simply shrug, somewhat embarrassed to tell him what's on my mind and what's happening with me, but I know that's not acceptable to him. He pulls me back by my shoulders, holding me away from him so he can stare into my eyes. “You feel tense and you're never this clingy so early in the day.” He mentions.
I sigh, sagging my shoulders. “I'm sorry, master.” I say. I move to climb off of him, but he holds me still. “I don't mind, I just want to make sure you're alright.” He says.
I don't get the chance to answer when he raises an eyebrow at me curiously. “Blood? Are you hurt?” He asks.
I look down at the water, not seeing what he's talking about, but I feel it. “What? How?” I ask.
Adler shakes his head no, running his hands down my arms. He inspects me as much as he's able without lifting me off his soft cock. “He smelled it, are you hurt?” He asks again.
It's almost hilarious to see this big, angry man who's half beast and half human so fussed over blood. Although I don't know how he can smell blood, also that's embarrassing. “I'm fine. I just might start soon, I woke up cramping.” I say nervously.
He and I hadn't discussed this part of our arrangement, I'd always been irregular, so I honestly didn't think it was even going to be a problem. I can go months without a period, but of course, my traitorous body decided to do this now.
Adler pulls me back into his chest, hugging me to his firm body. “My poor kitten, what can I do to help you?” He asks sweetly.
This man cannot be this caring toward me, I can't be looked after like this just to be sent home in two weeks. I can't do it. I shake my head no against his shoulder, trying to sit up but he won't let me. “I'm fine. I just need some tampons or something. Nothing has to change this week.” I promise.
I know he has a schedule, morning blowjobs, breakfast sex, lunch sex, and bedtime sex. I'd feel wrong backing out of that, plus I like it. I like that this man uses me and is so desperate for me that he almost burns meals just to fuck me.
“We'll see about that.” Adler states firmly. His tone tells me he won't tolerate me arguing with him, so I assume I'm doing whatever he says or wants.
I feel him pull the plug on the tub, the water slowly draining and making me force myself not to sigh. The hot water felt incredible on my achy joints, and it really helped my cramps, but if he says we're done in here, we're done.
I move to stand up, grab a towel for myself, and hand him one, but Adler stops me with his hands on my waist. “Where are you going? We're not done here.” He insists.
When the water reaches less than half, he stops the drain again and refills the tub with hotter water than we had. He also dumps in several fistfuls of Epsom salt and lifts me off of his cock. “You're going to stay here and soak and I’m going to make a few phone calls. Don't get out until I come for you.” He insists.
I lean my head back onto the wall of the tub while this larger-than-life man climbs out and wraps a towel around his waist. “Yes, master.” I answer immediately.
A moment later his lips are pressed against my forehead, and he darts out of the bathroom.
I sag into the hot water, feeling it working its magic on my tired body. It's the most comfortable I've felt in a minute, I even feel myself fall asleep in the water.
I jump, startled awake with a hand on my shoulder and a light squeeze. “Come on, you'll be a raisin if you stay in there any longer.” Adler says quietly.
Reluctantly, I listen. I pull the plug on the tub and stand up, letting Adler wrap me in a very thick and warm towel.
Chapter 16
Adler
My poor kitten must feel terrible. I jumped out of the tub and called Dylan, the youngest man in my unit. He ran to the store and brought me everything Violet could need.
Dylan brought her tampons, pads, underwear, some medicine, and a heaping pile of snacks.
When I snuck back into the bathroom to check on Violet, she was sound asleep, only being comforted by the steaming water and the bubbles of the soap.
I had helped her out, wrapped her up in a thick towel, and helped get her situated in some of the underwear Dylan hadbrought and a pad. “Go lay down in the living room, I'll join you shortly, okay?” I ask.
Violet nods and a confused look spreads across her face when I unhook her leash and take it from her. I don't comment, she just won't need it if she's not feeling well. “Go on.” I insist, patting her ass as she walks away from me.
Violet heads into the living room while I head into my office, I need to think of a plan to deal with Morse and this damn company experimenting on people. They can't continue to operate in my town. I'd prefer they didn't exist at all, but I doubt I can do anything about that, this feels like it's bigger than just a handful of sadistic scientists in a small town making unkillable mutants.
I spent the better part of the morning on a group call with most of my unit, discussing what we were going to do and how. Sebastian is going to find the building they're operating from and try to find the layout of the place, Brice is going to try to find out who the scientists are, and Nico is going to run our company like all this isn't happening.
We have to be discreet about all of this, if Morse finds out or even suspects that something is happening it'll be a goddamn mess. At the very minimum, it will expose myself and my whole unit as what we are, at the most, it could cost all of us and the few mated women their lives.
