Elysia's eyes widened in panic.

"Hey! I was just kidding! I didn't mean it, really, let's not make a big deal out of it! We still have to run errands today!"

Every time they went at it, she couldn't get out of bed for a whole day and night.

"You can't even joke about that!"

Tarquin silenced her protests with a commanding kiss, a deep one as a form of punishment.

No matter how much Elysia flailed and struggled, she couldn't escape.

After the kiss, Tarquin asked, "Still thinking about finding a new husband?"

Elysia, dazed and breathless from his kiss, with her cheeks flushed a deep red, meekly surrendered, "No, not anymore."

"Still dare to threaten me with bedroom antics?"

"No, I won't."

"Take back what you said!"

"Mhm, I take it back."

Seeing her so compliant, Tarquin's mood lifted, a handsome smile playing on his lips as he gazed at her closely, admiring her trembling lashes.
