Ten slaps to the wrist for one pill, do you understand? I’m not going to hold back, do you hear me?”
In the grand scheme of things, a slap on the wrist was one of the lightest punishments out there. Lucinda didn’t care what Nathan thought of it, she only knew that she had to set some sort of rule to ensure that he took his pills on schedule.
“Lucinda…” Nathan whined, as if his scowl wasn’t enough to convey how unhappy he was with this setup.
Why did he have to get slapped just because of a few pills?
More importantly, a slap to the wrist was a punishment meant for children. And he was most definitely not a child!
“Why do I feel like you’re treating me like a kid right now? I am your fiance, not your son!”
Lucinda stroked his hair and ran her thumb across his cheek.
“Is there any difference? Since you can’t do anything to me right now, you’ll just have to listen to everything I say. And not just about your medicine, you’ll have to follow all the plans I made last time as well!”
Nathan pouted, feeling aggrieved, but he knew better than anyone that he couldn’t refute her words. He ducked his head and sulked.

Lucinda proceeded to cup his face and pepper it with ki*ses, starting with his forehead, to his eyes, his cheeks, and finally, his Lips.
“Be good. I don’t want to beat you at all. I feel the same pain that you do whenever someone hurts you. Take your pills as instructed, and I will feed them to you when I come home at night. I’ll ki*s you, and hug you, and dote on you as much as you want. Okay?”
Nathan felt much better after hearing that. He nodded readily.
Lucinda didn’t say it, but she was quite pleased with herself for being able to tame her man Like this.
Sure enough, one had to alternate the carrot and the stick as the situation required.
She assisted Nathan downstairs and made dinner herself. After the meal, she helped him back up to the bedroom and lay with him for a while.
Lucinda didn’t get up until it was almost eleven in the evening. She intended to sleep in the next room.
Before she could fully sit up, however, Nathan’s hand shot out and grabbed her arm.
“Where are you going?” he asked anxiously.
“It’s getting late. I’m going to bed.”
His jaw dropped as he gaped at her.
Did that mean that she would sleep in another room?
Seeing the hurt look on his face, Lucinda rushed to explain.
“You know we barely sleep soundly at night, we can’t resist each other, and one of us is bound to seduce the other at some point. For the sake of your health and recovery, I think it would be best for us to sleep separately for the time being.”
“But I’m used to having you by my side. I can’t fall asleep without you!”
