The night was calm, and I was already lying in bed, waiting for Thomas to get out of the shower. The cramps from the day had subsided, thanks to his care, who, as always, knew how to pamper me and alleviate any discomfort. The sound of the shower stopped, and in a few minutes he appeared at the bedroom door, with his hair still damp and only a pair of gray sweatpants, exposing his body.

I smiled slightly. It was nothing new for him to sleep shirtless, and that never bothered me. On the contrary, I loved caressing his muscles, feeling the heat of his skin under my fingers. He turned off the lights and walked to the bed, lying behind me and pulling me closer, his warm body against mine.

His strong arms wrapped around my waist, and he buried his face in my neck, leaving a trail of soft and lingering kisses on the exposed skin. A shiver ran through my body, and it was then that I felt something gently pressing against my leg.

"Thomas..." I murmured, turning my face slightly towards him. "Did you forget I'm on my period?"

He paused for a moment, lifting his face to look at me. His eyes were shining, full of desire and the affection he always conveyed. Then, a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

"I know that," he replied in a low, husky voice, the tip of his nose brushing my neck. "But I don't care. I promise to be gentle, my princess. If you don't feel well, just tell me."
