Chapter 1286

"Yes, now that Orion has a new friend, we might even have more time for ourselves," Nash said, his fingers tracing up Nina's hand in a way that was both warm and ticklish. Nina's cheeks flushed, and she gently pushed him away. "Stop that. The kids are right outside. What if they hear us? It'd be so embarrassing."

She knew Orion was clever too clever. If he overheard anything, she would be mortified and wouldn't even know how to explain.

"The hotel's got great soundproofing," Nash replied with a playful grin. "And the TV's on, too. But if you're worried, I can just turn it up a little more."

Before Nina could protest, he grabbed the remote and nudged the volume up a few notches. He rolled over and kissed her, and under his touch, Nina quickly melted.

They stayed entwined until the early hours, finally breaking apart, thoroughly exhausted. Nina turned off the TV, lying on the bed, feeling too drained to move. She wanted to wash away the lingering heat, but exhaustion kept her still. Nash, however, had other ideas. He went into the bathroom to draw a warm bath, then gently lifted her and placed her in the soothing water. Instantly, she felt every inch of her body relax, tension dissolving in the warmth. "Nina," Nash called softly, his voice laced with that familiar allure, "Mind if I join you?"

For a moment, she almost agreed. Then, with a sudden surge of practicality, she shook her head and refused, "Absolutely not. We're taking the kids to the amusement park tomorrow. I'm not going through another round tonight!" Nash's smile deepened, clearly amused. "Alright, alright. Finish up, I'll be waiting outside." He didn't want to put Nina through any more tonight, either.
