Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Fifty-One - Needing Answers
The four women whirled around to gape at her, the color drained from their faces. “No ma’am. We were just..” stuttered one of them.“Yes, you were just Indulging in mindless gossip about things that don’t concern you. It can land you in trouble. Are you aware of that? I have a recording of your derogatory remarks. I can accuse each of you of defamation charges. Hope you are prepared for it.” She stated with a grim look on her face. One of the women burst into tears while the others looked scared out of their wits. Skylar marched ahead without a look at them. She was seething from the insult. How could Christian encourage the Deputy GM of his company in front of everyone? If anyone is at fault, it was Christian, not these petty employees. She didn’t wish to go down to the restaurant to join him but this was a professional scenario. She couldn’t let her personal grudges control her professional life. It would give those bitches satisfaction to see her so affected. Quickly freshening

Christian took another deep breath and faced her. “You’re overreacting just as you did in Frascati. I have explained this to you before and I’m repeating it now. There will be such women everywhere, in every hotel I own. It doesn’t mean I encourage them or have an affair with them. You might have had admirers too at your college. Did you sleep with them all? It’s the same thing, Skylar!” “No, it isn’t the same thing. You allowed her to insult me. Then you disappeared with her for twenty minutes! What do I conclude from your behavior, Christian?” Her face flushed with annoyance at his lack of explanation. “I didn’t invite her to sit beside me. If she wanted to create a scene, how was I responsible? Did you want me to pick up a fight with her in front of my board of directors? I have my self-respect and position to consider before taking such a step. These people have been with us for years. They are reputable and close to grandpa Ben. How could I create a scene in front of them?” Sky

Christian could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he waited for her. Skylar stopped inches away from him, unable to look away from his smoldering gaze. It seemed it had her under a spell. “How do you plan to please me?” His hot breath fanned her face, while his hawk-like eyes pulled her closer like a magnet. He brushed a wisp of hair off her face, his fingers brushing against her creamy skin in a tender caress. His touch intensified the fire already burning inside her. “I can start with a kiss, maybe!” Shyly, she cupped his cheek, intending to just kiss him and run. She refused to drown in his passion! Christian’s breath hitched as he waited for her lips to touch his. She was kissing him willingly and he couldn’t contain his heartbeats. They seemed to thump wildly, ready to jump out of its ribcage. He had never experienced such an intense moment in all his twenty-eight years of life! Skylar pulled his head towards her only to brush her lips to his warm, full ones. A tremor o

“When will you marry me, Skylar?” The unexpected question brought Skylar out of her daze. She raised her head and gazed into his melancholic eyes. She searched her soul for an answer but couldn’t come up with any. Strangely, she didn’t want a contract marriage with him any longer. “I will prepare the contract for you to go through. Whenever you’re ready, we can sign it and get married. I will apply for a license.” Skylar nodded, releasing him and scooting to her side. Her heart filled up with a strange restlessness, yet she couldn’t voice her feelings somehow. She couldn’t tell him she wanted a proper marriage with him. Where was the spitfire who could fight all her battles bravely? She had never been so tongue-tied before. She lay down and closed her eyes with a sigh while Christian watched her confusing reaction. He was sure something was wrong with her. She was fine a minute ago. Didn’t she want to marry him? Then why couldn’t she voice her thoughts? Why couldn’t she fight his de

“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

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

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

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.
