Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Fifty-Five - Sebastian's Mysterious Disappearance
“Don’t be sorry. I’m happy to have you in my life. I think I’ll hit the bed now. I’m not hungry.” Skylar released him, realizing his need for privacy. He got up and went inside to sleep while she sat thinking about what he had told her. His admission tonight cleared a lot of doubts she had about him. It answered most of her questions, too. She felt a little foolish for fighting him unnecessarily when he always cared for her. All along, he was there right before her, yet she couldn’t recognize the depth of his feelings for her. Did he love her? Or was it just an obsession to snatch what was forbidden for him?That was a question she didn’t have an answer to.The flight attendant arrived to seek her permission to serve dinner, but she declined. With Christian skipping dinner, her appetite too left her. After a few minutes, she got up with a sigh. There wasn’t anything she could do until they reached Cleveland and received an update on Sebastian. However, in her heart, she was glad th

Lillian stood frozen with shock. Who was Steele? Was Grandpa Ben hiding something from them? She tried to overhear but the rest of the conversation happened in low whispers. Maybe Grandpa Ben had heard her approaching his room. She opened the door to see him switch off his phone warily. He turned around to face her, his face pale and nervous. “Who were you talking to, Grandpa?” asked Lillian with a frown. “No one special. Just a friend,” stammered her grandpa. It made her scowl even more. After overhearing his conversation, she was sure it wasn’t a friend. “Or an enemy.” Grandpa sat down and gaped at her with a guilty look on his face. “Why do you say so, Lillian?” “I know you were talking to some Steele. Who is he, Grandpa? Why would he kidnap Seb?” Benjamin St. James rubbed his face nervously, knowing it was time to come out clean. After overhearing his conversation, Lillian wouldn’t let this go so easily. It wasn’t easy to fool her. “He didn’t admit to kidnapping Seb.

The next morning, the forensic reports arrived and Officer Stewart approached the FBI for help. Grandpa informed them about Desmond Steele and they summoned his PI, Adam Carson, to update them about his findings. Soon a team left for Bedford, South Africa to match Steele’s fingerprints with the ones on the forensic report. The whole family came to know about Steele’s reality, much to grandpa Ben’s discomfort. Desmond Steele was the prime suspect and he couldn’t keep his identity a secret anymore. “I just hope they can nab the criminal. Why didn’t you inform us earlier, grandpa? We could have rescued Seb right away,” said Christian, pacing the room. They were all waiting for an update from the special team who had gone to Bedford to rescue Sebastian. What if he wasn’t there? Where could he be? “I wasn’t sure of his involvement.” “I just hope they arrest the man and rescue Seb,” said Lillian, glaring at Christian to ask him to stop his probing. The guilty look on her grandpa’s f

After two days, Christian and Caleb helped Sebastian to their jet to return home. Although he hadn’t recovered fully, the hospital discharged him at Caleb’s insistence. “Be careful, bro,” said Christian, as he helped him to the seat. “You can lie down inside after takeoff.” “I’m fine here with you.” Sebastian closed his eyes as a wave of relief washed over him. He had never imagined he would see his family again. Christian and Caleb occupied the seats beside him and waited for takeoff. They were bursting with curiosity to know what was happening. The last few days, they couldn’t ask him anything in the hospital with the cops always around them. It was only after Sebastian could give a brief statement did the cops leave him in peace. Caleb coaxed the doctor to permit them to take the patient to Cleveland while Christian hastened the discharge formalities. Now, after take-off, they relaxed and looked at Sebastian curiously. Did he know about uncle Sylvester’s death? “Tell us wha

A Month Later: Skylar read the chat messages her friends had been sending since morning. After Christian left abruptly, without informing her, she had been depressed for days. She waited for his call every day, refusing to forgive him. How could he leave her behind? The wish to call him up and blast him was intense, yet she didn’t give in. If she would have been at fault, she would have called him, but this time, it wasn’t her fault. It was Christian who left her! With nothing to do, she took up a job in a travel agency nearby. The pay wasn’t much, but at least she could keep herself occupied. It was a small set-up at a walking distance from the house with only ten employees. The proximity of the place was the sole reason her family agreed to her going out. Sebastian had completely recovered and his wedding was fixed after a fortnight later. Desmond Steele wasn’t arrested yet, but they couldn’t wait any longer. A month had gone by, yet Christian didn’t remember her even once. He k

Skylar stepped out of the washroom, freshly showered, ready to go to work. She just had time to grab a quick breakfast before heading to her workplace. Someone’s presence behind her made her turn around. A gasp escaped her lips as she came nose to nose with Christian! “When did you arrive? Today isn’t Thursday!” she stammered, acutely aware of his gaze checking her out. Christian’s eyes darkened at the sight of her refreshing beauty. She was like a breath of fresh air for his soul. The white formal dress clung to her curves, arousing him further. Her moist, glowing skin drew him like a magnet and he closed the distance between them. “I changed my plans. Are you upset that I returned early?” His body touched hers, pinning her against the wall behind her. His arms went on either side of her body to trap her. “No.” “Then? Are you happy to see me?” “Yes.” His hypnotic gaze had her under his spell turning her brain to mush. Her heart thumped wildly at the sight of him. She had misse

Realizing his slip of the tongue, Christian glanced at Skylar with dread. He didn’t want her to know how much he loved her! It would make him too vulnerable before her. Thankfully, she was too lost in the song to hear him mumble.The song ended, and she turned to him hopefully. “That was so heart-touching. Don’t you think so?” “Yes. It’s good. Who’s the singer? She's really talented.” “I didn’t get her name. Maybe some budding artist.”They reached the hotel and Christian led her inside the grand set-up.All the employees greeted him with respect and surprise. He had arrived unannounced and they were at their wit’s end. “Good morning, sir! Should we get the conference room ready?” asked a nervous, suit-clad man. “No, Mr. McCarthy. I’ll just use my office today. Please send our Finance Manager over in an hour. This is my fiancée, Skylar Carnell. We would need the Presidential Suite for an overnight stay.” “Hello, Ms. Carnell! It’s an honor to have you stay here. I’m Jeremy McCarth
Last Updated : 2024-10-29Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Sixty-Two - Claudia Creates Trouble
After a few minutes, Claudia left when their Finance Manager came over. Skylar, too, involved herself in the discussion. The meeting went on for an hour almost. “Do you want to accompany me on a tour of the place?” Christian’s eyes swept over her as he relaxed in his seat after the manager left. Skylar blushed at his scrutiny, remembering their heated kiss a while ago. Sitting alone with him within the close confines of the room, she felt her heart thump wildly inside her ribcage. “Yes, I’d love to.” “Good! Let’s go. Oh, one more thing. Stay away from Claudia!” He got up and walked towards the door while Skylar followed him with a confused look on her face. Why did he warn her against Claudia? Did he have a history with her? Maybe there is something he didn’t want her to know.“Why? Isn’t she close to Lillian?” she asked, as he led her towards the elevator. “She is close to every one of us. Yet I want you to avoid her.” He didn’t provide her with further explanation as they intera

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.
