All Chapters of Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6): Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

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

Christian’s heart skipped a beat with excitement. He remembered how she had pushed him away the last time they were here. Her behavior had upset him so much. He had left home to go on a trip all by himself, only to return to get her. If he hadn’t returned that day, he wouldn’t have seen this change in his life. Maybe he wouldn’t have felt Skylar’s love at all! He had achieved the impossible in a matter of five months! He had made her realize her feelings for him. Skylar got up and caught his hand, leading him inside. She knew she had taken him by surprise again, but she wanted to make him happy. Once inside, she closed the door after her. Christian hesitated, his confidence wavering at the last moment. He was afraid he would fail her. What if she wasn’t satisfied? What if he was incapacitated? After his surgery, he wasn’t sure he could please her as well in bed as he could earlier! This was a fear that was eating him alive. It made him stop every time they made out with one another.

“Sure. You don’t need to ask me, Christian. I want you to have close friends like I do.” Christian looked genuinely happy at the prospect of reconnecting with Knox. In the evening, he dropped Skylar home. “I’ll come home in a couple of hours. Don’t miss me too much,” he said, planting a soft kiss on her forehead. “I won’t. I’ll video call the girls.” She walked away with a smile while Christian drove away towards Knox’s house. He still remembered the way, even after so many. There was a time when he spent all his vacations here with Knox and Andrea. He knew everything about them. Knox’s parents had a bitter marriage that ended in both of them committing suicide. It set the siblings against the very institution of marriage. He was the only person in the world who understood them. They stayed away from home after their parents' death. So it was a surprise to hear of their return. He hadn’t ever expected them to return. Christian parked his car in the driveway of the majestic Cromwel

Skylar smiled against his lips. She would gladly energize him if only he would allow her to. Lately, they failed to revive the magic they used to share earlier. She didn’t know what went wrong between them, but after the accident, Christian seemed to have changed a little. Maybe she would address the issue after they returned from New York. He claimed her lips in an intoxicating kiss. It was a slow one, a magical one filled with passionate longing. Both of them desired one another acutely, yet couldn’t consummate their relationship. While Skylar had conquered her battles and accepted her feelings for Christian, he had a different mental struggle to combat! “Kiss me, Skylar!” His raspy, frustrated growl aroused her, and she fisted her hands into his hair and kissed him back hungrily. Her tongue swirled against his causing a fiery need to course down his body. He groaned and cupped her cheek, angling her head well to dominate the kiss. His kiss turned hard and demanding when he plung

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
