Chapter 106:

Jayden remained composed and forthright. He gently pushed Elyse aside and wheeled himself into the room, leaving her feeling confused. A few moments later, Elyse gathered her thoughts and hurried after Jayden, questioning, “Aren’t we supposed to be sleeping in separate rooms? Why do you suddenly want to sleep in mine?”

Jayden looked up at her, his gaze piercing as he asked, “Don’t you want to sleep with me?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that I’m not yet comfortable with the idea,” Elyse admitted, finding it increasingly difficult to meet his eyes, her sense of guilt intensifying.

“I took your virginity, so it’s my responsibility to look after you,” Jayden stated matter-of-factly, scanning the room. “Besides, you are my wife. It’s only natural for us to sleep together.”

Elyse found herself speechless, unable to argue against his logic. Yet the thought nagged at her. Jayden was talking about responsibility just because he had taken her virginity. That wasn’t the kind of caring she yearned for.

Concealing her disappointment, she cautiously ventured, “So, from tonight, we’re to share a bed?”

Can you manage to take off your pants? I haven’t done that before, and I’m worried I might not do it well.”
