This is the second warning I've given you about biting your lip. Do it again, and you'll face the consequences!" Elysia's eyelashes fluttered in defiance, but upon meeting his stern gaze, her courage faltered.
Pouting, she could only grumble to herself, "What's it to you if I bite my own lip? Got a bee in your bo or just salty because you live by the sea?" Tarquin, as if reading her mind, pressed his lips together in disdain and chose not to engage further, simply stating, "You've got three seconds to rethink your stance, or I'm going straight to Keith for answers. Three, two, one..." With that, he lifted her away from the doorway.
Elysia was taken aback, her heart racing, "Hey!" But Tarquin was resolute, unmoved by any further delay. He was determined to seek answers from Keith directly. Elysia rushed over, grabbing his arm, "Please, don't go!" Tarquin glanced at her dismissively, "You've lost your say in this. I'm not interested in hearing more excuses. I'll ask Keith directly." Despite her pleas, Tarquin coldly shrugged off her hand, his decision unchangeable.

Without saying a word, he turned within her grasp to face her directly, their embrace becoming even more intimate. Elysia thought about letting go, fearing that if she did, he would indeed seek out Keith.
And if Keith found out about Elliot and Evan disguising themselves, it would only be a matter of tbefore Tarquin discovered their true identity as his sons!
This thought made Elysia hold on even tighter. As she pulled him m closer, Targuin, caught off guard by the affection, stumbled, and they both nearly fell. Just in time, Tarquin wrapped his arm around her waist, lifting her up and pressing her against the door, their bodies closely entangled.
Breathless from the scare, Elysia was too preoccupied to notice the change in Tarquin's demeanor until she felt ve something pressing against her.
