Chapter 1226

Right before things went all the way, Elysia clung to her last shred of sanity and warned Tarquin in a shaky voice, "Only... only once, okay?"

Tarquin's breathing was heavy, but he agreed right away. "Okay! Just once."

The night was soft, and love was electric.

Of course, things never go exactly as planned.

That “just once" quickly turned into twice... then three times... and, well, you get the idea.

So the next morning, Elysia was absolutely wiped out.

She tried to get out of bed several times, but her legs were jelly. She felt like she'd been trampled by a stampede of wild horses.

There was no way she was getting out of bed. The minute her toes touched the floor, her legs started trembling.

Lying defeated on the bed, Elysia shot Tarquin a murderous glare and gritted her teeth. "Tarquin, you jerk!"

Tarquin knew he'd gone way overboard. He didn't dare argue back-he was worried if he made her mad, she wouldn't let him anywhere near her again.

"I know, I'm a total jerk. I'm sorry, it's my fault..." He apologized over and over, trying everything to make it up to her.

He brought her pain relief cream, helped her to the bathroom, even took care of every little thing so she wouldn't have to worry.
