Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 750

"Tonight, I'll stay up with Elliot. You head off to bed in the next room," Tarquin offered before Elysia could object.

"Let me spend some quality time with my son. Give me a chance to show what I'm capable of," he added.

Elysia hesitated, then agreed, "Alright, but call me if anything comes up. You should also try to get some rest. Usually, Elliot sleeps through the night without any issues."

"Okay."

Elysia got up and made her way to the adjacent room. Ever since Elliot fell ill, she hadn't had a proper night's sleep.

The room had an attached bathroom where she took a quick shower before lying down. Just as she settled in, Tarquin appeared at the doorway. Surprised, Elysia asked, "Aren't you staying with Elliot?"

"He's asleep. I thought I'd spend some time with you," Tarquin said as he climbed into bed beside her, pulling her close. "Elysia, why do you smell so amazing?" he murmured, his voice thick with desire.

Elysia's heart skipped a beat, then raced. She knew Tarquin had been wanting more from their relationship. Ever since they had opened up to each other, his desire had been palpable. And tonight, with the slight buzz of alcohol, his restraint seemed thinner.
