Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Eight - Candid Confessions
“How do I not know about this? How could you discuss me with Caleb?” Skylar asked, feeling upset with her brother. She couldn't believe Caleb had kept secrets from her.“No one knows except me and Sebastian. Lillian told us.” Christian knew she was getting worked up, but he had promised to open up if she agreed to go on a date with him. He had intended to tell her more, but maybe she wasn’t ready for his confession yet. It might complicate things between them. The server arrived for their order and the discussion ended for a while. After he left, Skylar looked up at Christian, her eyes full of curiosity.“So what else did you discuss about me?” Christian smiled at her enthusiasm. Could he tell her exactly what they discussed? Maybe he could, if not all of it. He could tell her some of it. “We discussed our wedding.” He watched her jaw-dropped look with amusement. “Who’s wedding?” “Yours and mine!” Skylar couldn’t believe the bombshells he had been throwing at her since they arrived

“How do you know them? How do you know so much about me?” Christian smiled at her question but preferred not to confess any more secrets. He needed more time with her. Maybe this would force her to agree to another date with him.“You will need to get engaged to me to know that.”“Oh!” Skylar stared at the enormous expanse of water in front of her while contemplating his reply. No, she couldn’t see herself getting engaged to him this early. She needed more time to get adjusted to the thought. “Then I’m afraid it has to wait. I’m not ready to get engaged now.” Christian let out a sigh and pulled his feet out of the water. He hadn’t expected her to still keep harping on the same thing after knowing his motive. Grandpa Ben couldn’t pull the business any longer. Therefore, he needed to get engaged urgently to get access to the business. Couldn’t she understand how important it was? “What happened? Are we leaving?” she asked with confusion, pulling her feet out as well. Christian frowne

After Four Years“Are we there yet?” asked granny Miriam excitedly while the car sped from the airport to Caleb’s house in Cleveland, OH. “We'll reach in five minutes, granny,” said Caleb, as he drove through the traffic. Skylar watched out of the window, excited to get away from New York after two long years. Her granny was better and her grandpa wanted to relocate to Cleveland. Having freshly graduated, Skylar had no career goals at the moment. She just wanted to relax and enjoy life for a few days before deciding what she would do. “Nothing has changed since my last visit,” she said, liking the place better than New York. “Yes! Except I live in a quiet residential area now. It’s more peaceful there than in the previous neighborhood.” “Oh, don’t you get bored in a quiet residential place?” she gaped at him, feeling a little disappointed. “No, there’s no time to get bored with the twins around. It’s like a mad race at home and we are forever haggard. You’ll see,” said Caleb wit

Christian wrapped up the emergency work at his hotel, SJ Metropolitan Suites Cleveland, their flagship hotel in Cleveland. It had been almost four years since he took over their renowned chain of hotels. Headquartered in New York, their multinational business group, Saint James Intercontinental Suites flourished under the guidance of the two brothers. After Sebastian's return, their grandpa completely retired from work and spent most of his time gardening or at his club. Therefore, it surprised him when he asked Christian to rush immediately to Cleveland to handle an emergency. Unable to ignore his grandpa’s order, he arrived in Cleveland. He didn’t get a moment to spend with Lillian and the twins, having to rush to work.He strode out of the conference room towards his office to pack up and leave. He was relieved that he could handle the problem efficiently. A faulty architectural defect on the staircase caused an accident. The guest sued the hotel and Christian had to intervene. He

An idea hit Skylar, and she pushed him away with all her might. “Why would I? I will marry him just like Sebastian will marry Erica.” Seeing his momentary distraction, she sprang up from the bed and grabbed her suitcase. She just needed to escape from the room before everyone else woke up. Christian was faster and dashed to block the door. “You’re mine! I won’t allow you to marry another!” he barked, mad with fury. “I will, and you won’t be able to do a thing.” She met his gaze while trying to get to the door, but he stood like a pillar, not budging an inch. It seemed nothing had changed between them even after four years. He was still the most stubborn creature on earth, hell-bent on his wish to marry her. Why? He was handling his business for the last four years. Why did he still wish to marry her even after she admitted to being in a relationship? “I will kill the man and marry you forcefully if that’s what it takes!” Skylar’s jaws dropped with shock! Was he a wolf in sheep’s d

Skylar couldn’t get away as she had planned. In another twenty minutes, Lillian left after giving her explicit instructions. Caleb too rushed to his car, ready to leave, taking her grandparents with him to the hospital for a complete check-up.“We’ll be back in two hours,” said her grandpa. Skylar’s jaws dropped with shock to see them all leave. She sneaked a look at Christian, who looked relaxed, and watched them go. Was he not going anywhere? Her eyes went wide with the realization. She was stuck at home with two hyperactive kids and only Christian for company! Was this a deliberate plan? “Sure. There’s no rush. We can manage the kids until then,” assured Christian, not even looking at her dumbstruck face. “Fine then. See you later,” said a pleased granny as they climbed into Caleb’s car. After they left, Skylar glared at Christian. “Don’t you need to go somewhere too? I can manage on my own.”“Nope! I’m on holiday.”“Then go out to enjoy your holiday!” she suggested out of despe

Skylar stormed out of her room with her luggage, determined not to stay a minute longer in his company. Thankfully, he was nowhere to be seen. This was the opportunity she was looking for. Could she sneak out now? However, since bad luck never left her side, the sound of loud wailing stopped her in her tracks. The back door opened and Christian entered with a sobbing Vivienne in his arms. He froze on seeing her with her luggage. “Aunt Skye! Blade's friend pushed me and I fell down. Look at my boo-boo. It’s red,” she sobbed. Skylar forgot her plans and rushed towards the little girl.“Oh, let me have a look.” She went closer and checked the little girl’s knee as she clung to Christian. The wound wasn’t deep and would easily heal in two days. “Oh, I’ll fix your boo-boo in a jiffy. Will you sit down on the sofa?” “No, I’m scared!” She clung to Christian, making Skylar’s job quite tough. She avoided his unwavering stare pinned upon her, knowing what he was dying to ask. “Then your unc

“Why would I introduce you to him?” grumbled Skylar, storming towards the billing counter. She didn't know why she always overreacted in Christian's presence. She had never met someone as persistent as him! “I won’t leave you until you do.” Skylar glared at the determined look on his face and seethed at his stubbornness. It was because of him she had to lie. Now it would be an impossible task to find herself a Mike. “You can persist until you give up. You can’t make me do stuff I don’t want to,” she gritted out in a low voice meant only for him to hear. “Then you don’t know me at all. I never give up on what I want!” With a grim expression on his face, he emptied her cart and handed them his bank card. Skylar’s mind went into overdrive. What did he mean by that? Why would he want her? Later, he picked up the packets and stormed away towards his car, with Skylar following him angrily. After that exchange, they didn’t say a word to each other. Skylar stared outside the window while

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.
