Tricked and Treated

Roxana looked at the medicine box in Alexander's hands. Why was he treating her so well was still a mystery and sometimes she wondered why he looked at her like that. In a way that made her heart flutter. A way that made her feel like a woman. And not just any woman, a desirable one. She must be mistaken since she was a man right now. 

Suddenly he stood up from his seat and slowly walked around the table to her side. She thought that he would only give her the box when he suddenly sat in the chair nearby she panicked a little.

He opened the box and dipped his fingers into the paste. "May I?" He asked. 

Roxana was too shocked to answer and before she could bring herself to speak again, he applied the medicine to the bruise on her cheekbone. Her eyes closed and she tensed as he massaged the medicine onto her skin with his two fingers. He was so very gentle for a strong man like himself.
