Lucinda inhaled deeply.


    Her tone was firmer when she said, “You’ll get used to it after a couple of nights.


    ”


    Nathan stifled a gasp.


    He had said those exact words to her once before, and now, she was throwing them back to his face!


    Unable to utter a single word, he simply stewed in grievance.


    Lucinda smiled and leaned closer for a ki*s.


    It was their good night ki*s, thest one for the night.


    Of course, it was a long and passionate one.


    “Good night, Nathan.


    I’ll see you in the morning.


    ”


    Nathan watched her pad across the room and shut the door behind her.


    As soon as Lucinda left the room, he felt as though she had taken all the warmth with her.


    He shivered and burrowed under the covers.


    Thanks to the rules Lucinda had set, Nathan was diligent with his medicine in the days that followed.


    It also helped that Sonny kept a close eye on him.

    On this particr day, Nathan was in his study, working remotely for most of the morning.


    When noon came, his phone rm rang.


    Two minutester, Lucinda video-called.


    “It’s time to take your pills!” she chirped.


    “Okay,” he murmured dejectedly.


    Then, before he could hang up the phone, Sonny barged through the door with a ss of warm water and the medicine box.


    “Sir, here are your pills.


    ”


    “You… You’re quite the dedicated worker, aren’t you?”


    Nathan cast him a cold nce before stuffing a dozen pills into his mouth and chugging the water down.


    A strong, bitter taste invaded his tongue.


    Nathan felt the color drain from his face as he struggled to keep his nausea down.


    He mustered a weak smile and turned back to his screen, reassuring Lucinda that he had been obedient.


    Lucinda took a few seconds to make sure that he had indeed taken everyst one of the pills.


    As soon as the call ended, Nathan rushed to the bathroom and retched, but nothing came out.


    He didn’t take well to most medicines.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Even as a child, he often felt nauseous and lost his appetite, and that bitter taste always seemed to make him feel worse than whatever ailment gued him.


    Sonny stood at the doorway with a worried frown.


    “Sir, we need to find a way to make you ustomed to your medicines without feeling sick.
