Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Sixteen - We Will Meet Again
Skylar ignored Christian the rest of the time. It wasn’t a hard task to do since he was mostly engaged in conference calls all the time. She didn’t get to talk to Caleb as he returned late. She retired to her room early, just to avoid Christian. He would leave early the next morning and she could relax and enjoy herself for a few days before leaving for New York. She lay down with her phone, chatting with her girl group, when there was a soft knock on her door. Startled, she sat up straight. Was it Christian? Who else would knock on her door at 11 o’clock in the night? Ignoring it, she quietly lay down to sleep. She had no wish to face Christian now. There were two more knocks and then the footsteps faded away. Relieved, she tried to sleep but couldn’t. When nothing worked, she got up to drink some water. Maybe it would calm her down. At home, her granny always insisted on drinking some warm milk at bedtime and it always worked. But where would she get warm milk here? She would have

Skylar reached New York and immediately contacted her friends. They all planned to meet one another after months. After graduating from nursing school together, Eva and Sienna found an internship at Bellevue Hospital. Hayley had joined her dad’s hospitality business while Alyssa was in California at her grandparents’ place. Each of them was busy except Skylar. She knew it was time to think about her career. She couldn’t just waste her life doing nothing! She picked Hayley up from her house and drove over to the shopping mall nearby where the others would meet them. “Why do you have to join Christian? You can do an internship at Barclay International,” suggested Hayley. Barclay International was her dad’s business, and she handled it independently now. “Maybe I will. I haven’t thought about it, Hails. I could open a small restaurant, too.” It was the first time she had expressed her inner desire. “That’s a wonderful idea, Skye. I wish you all the success in the world. Plan it well

“Five Vodka and orange, five gin and tonic, and a whiskey please,” said Skylar, breathlessly. With her mind actively thinking of ways to ask Mike out, she could hardly concentrate on the drinks menu. “Straight?” She blinked and nodded.“Yes.” “Anything else?” “Yes, can I have your number, please?” Mike grinned and leaned in towards her with interest. “I go off in half an hour. I’ll wait for you.” Skylar grinned at the guy, unable to believe that she had behaved so recklessly. What could she do? She had to fix a Mike for herself before Christian attacked her again! “Sure.” With a satisfied smile, he fixed her the drinks when her friends joined her. “What’s taking you so long?” asked Alyssa with a knowing smile. “Have you ordered the food and the cake?” asked Skylar, having completely forgotten to order at the bar. With Mike busy, she didn’t disturb him again.“Yes, Alexander and I had a word with the manager. He’ll have them arranged for,” said Alyssa. They waited for their drin

“What the f*ck! You can’t order me around. I refuse to go to LA with you,” spat out Skylar, her whole body trembling with fury. He might have tricked her into coming here, but she wouldn’t dance to his tunes. “I can and I will. I won't leave you alone here to sleep around with every Mike you meet. So just do what I say or I will have to use force. Don’t mess with me, Skylar!” “What did you say? You’re the one who’s messing with me. I will sleep with a million Mikes if that’s what it takes to keep you away from me.” Christian clenched his teeth as wild fury coursed through his body. “Do you think it will keep me away from you? No, you’re very much mistaken. I will punish those million Mikes for taking what’s mine. That’s not all. I will punish you the most. So don’t even think about it in your wildest dreams. I know there’s no boyfriend. It’s all a hoax.” Skylar gaped at the man. How did he know? Did her grandparents give her away? “Whatever! I’ll get into a contract marriage with

“Oh! Do you have some work there?” Skylar asked, but he didn’t reply and went back to his laptop to read some documents. Maybe he would wrap up some work before returning home. Skylar didn’t disturb him and the idea of cuddling up in the bedroom with a good book seemed too good a suggestion to ignore. “I’ll rest for a while then.” She got up to leave, but he grabbed her wrist. “Have your lunch first. Flying on an empty stomach won’t do you any good.” Skylar gave him a suspicious look. How did he know she had skipped her breakfast and lunch? How did he know she had overslept? She sat down and faced him, needing a few answers now. Things were getting a little creepy here. He knew too much about her, while she had no idea about him. “How did you know I skipped my breakfast and lunch?” He went back to concentrating on his work. “Obviously, you overslept from the effect of all the alcohol that went into your system last night.” Her mouth hung open on hearing his creepy statement. “Wh

Skylar lay still, acutely aware of his gaze upon her. She could feel every nerve in her body pick up the sexual undercurrent that pulsated out of him. It was impossible to sleep under the circumstances. After ten minutes, she gave up and got up to go but her glance fell on Christian’s face. His eyes were closed, and it seemed he was indeed sleeping! She noticed the dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been overworking himself for the last couple of days. His lips were parted and his thick, curled lashes cast shadows on his cheekbones, leaving her under a spell. It was a sin to be so good-looking! Was she committing a grave mistake by agreeing to have a contract marriage with him? Although she didn’t wish to acknowledge it, there was an undeniable attraction building up between them with every passing minute. She didn’t want to succumb to the temptation. The man was a mystery! Why was he hell-bent on marrying her when there was no dearth of women willing to die to be his wife? D

Shocked at the roots of her hair, Skylar turned to gape at Christian. Did he bring her here for their engagement? “Skye, come, I have something important to show you,” said Lillian, pulling her away with her. Skylar glared at Christian all the way, her accusatory gaze holding him captive. He stood still, holding her gaze, feeling a swirl of emotions deep inside him. Although he wanted to admit his feelings to her, to explain why he kept it from her, nothing came out of his lips. He simply watched the hatred reflected in her beautiful eyes. “Chris, I’m so happy for you,” said Sebastian, coming forward to embrace his younger sibling. He was the only one who knew the depth of Christian’s feelings for Skylar right from the beginning. Lillian found out much later by chance when she overheard them. “Thanks, bro. It’s all because of you.” They say down with Caleb, Grandpa Ben, and Skylar’s grandparents while Christian wondered where Lilian took Skylar to. “Lilly bought a few dresses for

His words left her dumbfounded, just as he had expected. He grabbed her hand, taking advantage of her momentary confusion. They looked like a couple in love as they strolled towards the beach, hand in hand. “Everyone is staring at us, Christian. Can you leave my hand?” She tried to extricate her hand from his hold but he gripped it further, refusing to let go. “No. Let them stare. They might be jealous of you!” Skylar turned to see the amused glint in his eyes. “Why would they be jealous of me?” “Maybe because you’re the only one who’s getting to marry me!” Skylar scoffed at his enormous ego! As if she was marrying him willingly! Wasn’t he the one who was forcing her to marry him? “You’re the one who’s lucky that I agreed to marry you. If it wasn’t for our parents’ last wish, I would never have gone ahead with this.”“Then we should be indebted to our parents, right?” he chuckled as she wrenched her hand free of his hold and walked on. “On the contrary, I’m shocked by their deci

Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Epilogue
Five Years Later “Wow! You’re looking so gorgeous, Skye! You look fresh as a daisy, like a virgin bride, marrying for the first time,” said Sienna while the others agreed. The last five years had been a roller-coaster ride for all of them. Motherhood and career had taken a toll on them. None of them could make it on Skylar’s first wedding anniversary. Therefore, she had dropped the idea of a reunion and party. Now, after five years, they planned to renew their vows in the presence of all their loved ones. The wedding would take place in the neighborhood church while the reception at Escapades. Maddox supervised everything to perfection, and they didn’t have to check even. “I know, right? Look at me! My hair is shedding from handling Axel and Alexander! I don’t understand how you guys handle your twins and husband,” complained Eva while fixing Skylar’s veil. “Maybe because Lucas isn’t like your Alexander!” said Sienna with a chuckle. They all giggled knowingly while Eva groaned.“I

“I’m glad you cleared your misunderstandings, Skylar. Now you can connect with them to your heart’s content like before,” said Christian. He led her towards their room to freshen up for the reception party to start in an hour. “I was very upset by their behavior at first, but later everything fell into place. They don’t want a treat now with their pregnancies. Why don’t we renew our vows on our first anniversary? We can plan it like a dream wedding and invite everyone!” “Great idea! We’ll do that. Now give me a kiss before we go down.”Skylar complied, capturing his lips in a gentle and lingering kiss. It portrayed her blissfully happy state. She was indeed now at peace with everything around her. “I want to see you this happy always!” he whispered against her lips. “I’m happy. Your presence in my life makes me happy!” He kissed her passionately, and Skylar gaped at her smudged makeup when he released her. “Oh no! You ruined my makeup.” She grabbed a tissue and started wiping it
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Ninety-Three - Announcing Her Marriage To Her Gang
The response of their family overwhelmed Christian and Skylar. Even Erica was over the moon with happiness to know that Skylar was also pregnant. “I wish you too have twins like me.” “I wish the same too,” said Skylar unable to tell her she wanted both: a boy and a girl. “So I’ll have to plan two baby showers later,” said Lillian excitedly.“You can club it together. It’ll be easier,” suggested Erica. “Yes, we can plan it in your seventh month. It’ll be Skye's sixth.” They all agreed to the idea. They could plan the date and venue later at everyone’s convenience. Vivienne and Blade were the most excited at the prospect of having baby cousins. After spending three days with their family, they left for Miami Beach, where Hayley and Ashton had planned a beach wedding. Ashton had inherited a beach-facing mansion there from his former mentor and employer, Simon Baylor. In fact, Simon Baylor left the entire Baylor Group to Ashton after his death. They were happy for him since he deser
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Ninety-Two - Blessed Indeed!
The next few weeks sailed by amidst fun, work, and lots of special heated moments between them. Christian planned a date every weekend and each of them was unique in their own way. Skylar was now quite comfortable around his group of reckless friends who frequented their home. Skylar didn’t mind, since her friends were the same. Christian’s therapy was going well. He had improved a lot in the past few weeks. The limp was almost gone and he could run unlike earlier. With the strength back in his legs, Christian was unstoppable. He trained with renewed energy now. At work, Skylar made excellent progress, making her mentor Mr. Fairbanks proud of her achievements. He was confident she could take over from him completely in three months. They kept in touch with their family back in Cleveland and New York. Erica was doing fine and had joined work. Expecting twin boys, they were excitedly on the lookout for names. Skylar’s grandparents were still staying with them in New York. Caleb and L

“When did you get all this done?” asked Skylar, noticing the mouth-watering fare served before them. With the romantic lighting and the soothing decor, the place looked more magical than ever before. “This time I sought Joanna’s help. I would have liked to do everything myself, but didn’t get time.” His eyes twinkled, catching the rays of the lights hanging around them. They lured her into their magical depths, promising her a night of passion soon to follow. “Still it blew my mind away! I must say Joanna did a wonderful job!” “Yes, she’s quite a pro at it!” There was an understated excitement in the air as they enjoyed a quiet moment with one another. “Yes, we can make use of her talent more!” Christian chuckled, feeding her a piece of the roasted chicken Katherine had made for them. “Even Katherine has done a wonderful job. So are we going to Escapades tomorrow?” Skylar didn’t want to go to the club. She was apprehensive about meeting the rest of his reckless friends. She prefe
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Ninety - Marital Bliss
Skylar gaped at him for a moment, absorbing the bombshell he had just dropped. Then a slow smile spread across her face as realization dawned on her. With almost all her friends pregnant, she felt left out whenever they discussed, unable to contribute to their pregnancy woes. Now she could! She just hoped she got pregnant! “Really? I want to get pregnant with your baby!” she gasped, making Christian’s jaws drop with surprise. He hadn’t expected her to be so eager to embrace motherhood since he wasn’t eager to embrace fatherhood so early. He wanted to enjoy his married life for at least two years before planning to have children. “I wanted children too, but not so early.” He sighed, since it was actually God’s will. They had no say in the matter. “If it has to happen early, it will. It’s destiny, Christian.” “Yes, you’re right. It’s no use pondering over it. Come closer baby!” He grinned at her, pulling her closer, right into his lap. The water calmed them, invigorated their minds,
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Eighty-Nine - In The Heat Of The Moment
With a savage sense of possession, Christian captured her lips, shoving his tongue into her mouth. The intensity of the kiss took her by surprise and she moaned with pleasure. He captured her feminine moans of bliss, swirling his tongue and devouring her hungrily. It was more of a kiss to vent out the pent-up hunger he had kept buried for so long. After getting a taste of her, he had been addicted to her sweetness, but Erica’s health prevented them from enjoying the trip. She kissed him back, making him groan as a shock of pleasure spiraled through his body. He wanted more now! His fingertips skimmed along her throat, trailing down to the buttons of her top. In a split second, he undid them and eased the top off her body. Next went the rest of her clothes. Skylar lifted her eyes to meet his glittering, lust-filled gaze. He gently cupped her breasts, feeling the voluptuous mounds that overflowed in his hands. Pressing his thumb over a taut peak, he sucked the other into his mouth. H
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Eight-Eight - Missed You Like Crazy
Christian was sitting in the reception room waiting for her when she walked into the house. “So, how did the wedding go? Did Alexander whisk Eva away with him?”“Yes, he did. There was war, but no bloodshed thankfully! I’ll get myself a drink. It was too much for a day!” She got a bottle of water and emptied its contents. Then she explained everything that happened to Christian. However, her relief was short-lived. Erica was again critical, and they re-admitted her in the middle of the night. “You can go back and rest, Skylar. I’m here,” said Christian, as they sat outside the Emergency Unit. “No, I can’t leave you alone here.” She knew his condition. It wasn’t very good either. He needed more rest than she did.For the next two days, they took turns at the hospital. Skylar didn’t get time to catch up with her friends anymore. They eagerly waited for Sebastian’s return. After five days, they brought Erica home. She was pregnant with twins and her condition was critical with both f
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Eighty-Seven - A Melodramatic Wedding
They reached Bellevue Hospital after an hour. Skylar immediately inquired after Eva, but it was strange she had taken a long leave for almost a fortnight. Was it because of her wedding to Alexander? “She is pregnant and her wedding is coming up!” the nurse informed her. Skylar was shocked to hear the news. She knew about her wedding, but not about her pregnancy. The last time she connected with Alyssa, she only found out about her upcoming wedding. Even Hayley cribbed about her own love life. So who was Eva marrying? How was it she didn’t know? Did Eva find her happiness at last with Alexander Van Every? “Let’s go to see Erica,” said Christian, leading her away from the neonatal department. They went to the emergency department and met Sebastian in the lobby. “I was waiting for you,” said a haggard-looking Sebastian. “How is she now?” asked Skylar. “She’s still on drips.” “How did her health deteriorate so much?” asked Christian worriedly. “She was exceptionally nauseous.
