Separate Weddings, Separate Lives novel Chapter 46

Was Elijah talking about sleeping with Louisa?

Marrying her and having sex with her was probably one of his revenge tactics.

The saying "Go with the flow" wasn't for naught. Since Louisa married Elijah, she was already mentally prepared for the next step.

Instead of sounding shy or uneasy, she simply replied, "No. Are you planning to commit to your husbandly duties tonight?"

Instead of him asking her for it, she was asking him for it.

For a long, long time, women were always viewed as the submissive or more conservative gender, and men were often portrayed as the ones who actually enjoyed sex.

However, Louisa wanted to disagree. After all, sex was between two people, and women could enjoy it too. If women could glean pleasure from it, why should they have to be viewed as the the reluctant ones?

Elijah had been fidgeting and picking at the couch, but he suddenly stilled completely. His dark eyes narrowed at Louisa's words. "Say that again."

Louisa didn't know if he hadn't heard her, or if he had just been taken aback by her words.

After all, it was probably the first time he had heard such a thing from a woman.

"Does that mean you're going to have problems tonight as well?" Louisa said, going all out.

Since she had already dug her own grave, she was going to lie in it and get comfortable while she did.

A light but loud scoff from Elijah rang through the air. "I seem to have left you unsatisfied, Mrs. Halton."

His words were as prickly as usual, but Louisa was already used to it. "I understand. After all, you were too busy yesterday. However, if you would like to rest again tonight, I wouldn't say no. I…"

She purposely paused before continuing, "...am not that desperate."
