Adam Jones was not planning to let Elly Campbell off the hook so easily. He wrapped his long arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace, "You really plan to play dirty?"
His fiery gaze, tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction, gently pinched her waist with a strength that seemed almost punishing.
He had long discovered that his wife was incredibly ticklish, with her waist, earlobes, and neck being particularly sensitive. A mere touch could elicit a marked reaction from her.
Sure enough, as soon as his hand touched her waist, Elly instinctively stepped back.
Because her movement was somewhat big and she wasn't mentally prepared,
she happened to be right by the stairs, and as she stepped back, her heel hit the step, unbalancing her. She tilted backwards and began to fall down the stairs behind her.
