Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Seventy-Four - Devastated
The next morning Christian gained consciousness, but the pain all over his body was killing him. The doctor increased the dose of the painkillers to relieve him. He fell asleep again, unaware of what lay ahead of him. Skylar stayed with him in case he woke up again. She was dreading the moment he would realize his condition. She would have to give him hope. The pain was unbearable, and he had hardly acknowledged her presence when he woke up earlier. This time, when he woke up, she would be ready. At least they both were alive and with one another! At least Steele wasn’t successful in his mission. He couldn’t take their lives. Two hours later, Christian opened his groggy eyes and looked all around him. Was he alive? He remembered the excruciating pain in his body as if he was dying. He remembered the accident vividly. It relieved him to know he had saved his Skylar from the jaws of death. Where was she? Had she left him here? He focused his bleary eyes on the nurse tending to him. “
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Seventy-Five - Not Wanting Her Pity
Christian fell asleep as the amount of painkillers started taking a toll on him. Unknown to him, Skylar checked him three times while he was asleep. She spent her time in the lobby outside his room but couldn’t go home leaving him here. His behavior hurt her tremendously, but she swallowed the pain and didn’t let it get to her. Grandpa Ben tried to convince her to go home, but she was adamant. She would return with Christian. It was evening when Christian woke up. The doctor arrived to check him up and so did his family. Skylar didn’t enter his room for fear of aggravating his condition. Despite throwing her out of his room, Christian’s eyes searched for her. It seemed she had really left. “Your pressure figures aren’t good, Mr. St. James. If you don’t rest adequately, the compartment syndrome will recur. This time another surgery will lead to permanent paralysis,” scolded Dr. Foster. “I’m sorry, doctor. The news derailed me a little. Henceforth, I’ll try to keep calm.” “Good! We
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Seventy-Six - Restless To See Her
Christian sat shocked by the news. He hadn’t expected this at all! He had to find out. So, he called Lillian, but she didn’t accept his call. Neither did Sebastian. The rest of the day, he kept worrying about Skylar. What could have happened to her? Guilt ate him up and he couldn’t get a minute’s respite. It was evening when Lillian came over to see him. “What happened to Skylar?” “She’s down with a fever. I’m sure you’ll be happy that you’ve driven her away from here.”“I didn’t know she would fall sick,” he grumbled, looking away. “I’m fine now. Please, can you get me discharged? I hate staying here all by myself.” Lillian rolled her eyes at her brother. “It isn’t in my hands. Dr. Foster will check you up tomorrow and then decide.” Christian groaned, not wanting to spend another day here. The wish to go home to see Skylar was so intense that he was restless throughout the time. With nothing to do, he picked up his mobile phone to call her. “Yes, Christian!” said Erica, accepting
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Seventy-Seven - Heart-To-Heart
After dinner, Skylar moved into Christian’s room. Although they had shared a bed before, this was the first time as a married couple. Christian watched her with longing, wishing he could reach out and grab her. He longed to be normal again. How would he consummate their marriage? “Come here, Skylar!” Skylar stilled, hearing his husky tone. “What do you want, Christian?” “I’ll tell you if you come near me.” Despite knowing his limitations, she couldn’t stop her heart from thumping wildly in her chest. A deep blush stained her cheeks as she walked towards the bed. “Do you need water?” He shook his head, his eyes glittering with desire. “Do you need to use the washroom?” Christian shook his head, his eyes dropping to her lips. “Then, what do you want?” Christian grabbed her hand and pulled her slowly towards him. “My needs are of a different kind.” Skylar blushed even more at his husky reply. She could see where his eyes were focused. How different it would have been if they hadn’

Skylar sponged his upper body with extreme gentleness, taking care not to rub the minor scrapes and wounds that had almost healed. “Your upper body has healed well. In a few days, you’ll be perfectly fine.” “I feel better already. Maybe I’ll start working from tomorrow.” “Are you out of your mind? How can you even think about it? You still need rest, Christian,” she scolded him, helping him into a fresh shirt. Lillian knocked and came in to check. “Perfect. I think that’s all for today. I’ve arranged for a nurse to come over tomorrow to change your dressing.” Christian looked a little disappointed but smiled at his sister’s efforts. “You should rest now, Chris. Ever since you arrived from the hospital, you haven’t had a minute’s rest. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to get you discharged so early,” scolded Grandpa Ben, walking into the room. He looked very stressed and Christian nodded, to ease his worries. Skylar went away to clear the mess while Grandpa Ben and Lillian helped Christ
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Seventy-Nine - Recovering From Their Loss
Grandpa Ben was pronounced dead when they reached the hospital. Caleb called Lillian to inform her. “What happened, Caleb? Did you find Grandpa? Where is he now?” “Yes, we found Grandpa. Please come over to our hospital right away.” Lilian frowned on hearing his voice crack. Was he weeping? Her heart constricted with fear. Was something wrong with Grandpa? “What happened to Grandpa, Caleb? Is he critical?” “He’s no more!” whispered Caleb, breaking down totally. The phone fell from Lillian’s hand and she slumped to the chair in shock. “What happened? What did Caleb say?” asked Christian, anxiously waiting for her reply. Since morning, they had been waiting in the living room to get an update on Grandpa Ben. There has been no update so far.“They’ve rescued him.” She burst into tears unable to say a word more.“And? Why didn’t they bring him home?” asked Grandpa Phil. Granny was in the nursery tending to the twins since Lillian couldn’t.“Yes, where is he?” asked Christian anxiousl
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Eighty - Precious Moments
Skylar noticed the longing in his tone, the desire in his voice. She couldn’t let him suffer for the next two months. She loved him, and it was her responsibility to keep him happy. “Are you experiencing pain anywhere after the physiotherapy?” Christian shook his head, making her look relieved. “My body is used to it now. Initially, the pain was unbearable.” Skylar smiled, her mind made up. She would try her best to please him. She wanted him to overcome his grief and lead a normal, happy life. “Good! Are you sleepy?” Christian raised an eyebrow at her quizzically. Now what was going on in her head? “No, why do you ask? Are you planning something?” Skylar blushed and got up to clear their dinner. “What? You didn’t answer me!” He watched her walk away without replying. “You’ll see!” she said near the door before disappearing. Christian waited impatiently for her to return. He was bursting with curiosity by now. After a few minutes, Skylar came inside and closed the door, flashing

After Two MonthsChristian and Skylar finally bade a tearful farewell to her grandparents, Caleb and his family. Seeing his miraculous improvement, Christian’s doctor had given him permission to travel. Christian couldn’t contain his excitement, and they packed up to leave the next day. “Keep us updated, Chris. Don’t overexert yourself,” said Lillian, with tears in her eyes. She still didn’t want her youngest sibling to leave, but Christian didn’t listen to her logic. Ever since Grandpa Ben died, Lillian almost doted on Christian like a mother. He didn’t mind, and neither did Skylar. “Don’t worry so much about me. I’ll call you every month. Happy?” Christian wiped her tears and hugged her. “No, I’ll wait for your call every week.” “Take care of yourself, Skye,” said Granny, hugging her to her bosom. “Yes, granny, you too.” “Video call us whenever you can,” said Grandpa Phil. “Sure, Grandpa.” Christian hugged her grandpa. After Grandpa Ben’s death, he had grown more attached to
