Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 796

He was head over heels in love with her, so much so that words failed him whenever he tried to express his feelings. Unsure of how to make her understand the depth of his affection, he decided to share his most guarded secrets with her.

It was like he was laying his heart bare for her to see, a gesture to show her that his love was without reservations, that he was willing to share even the deepest, darkest corners of his soul with her.

His excitement was palpable, a clear sign of his nervousness. He was desperate for her to know the extent of his love, driven by the fear that he had hurt her deeply in the past. He was scared that she might still be angry, that she might leave him.

Elysia was touched, her heart aching for him.

"Tarquin," she said, using his real name for the first time.

At her words, Tarquin turned to face her, their eyes locking. The sadness in his eyes quickly turned to panic.

He thought she was about to confront him, to hold him accountable for his past actions.

But then, Elysia reached for him, standing on her tiptoes and kissed him. It wasn't a light, fleeting kiss but a clumsy attempt to deepen their connection.

Tarquin was taken aback, his body trembling at the unexpected intimacy.

Elysia, with her eyes closed and lashes fluttering, struggled to deepen the kiss, eventually biting his lip in frustration, looking up at him with a mix of annoyance and sorrow.

"Do you not want to kiss me?" she challenged.

In response, Tarquin pulled her closer, his kiss enveloping her with a passion that left no room for doubt.

He kissed her with fervor, and she didn't pull away. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck, matching his intensity.
