“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
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Ten - A Visit To Caleb's House
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
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Eleven - How Did She Sleep With Christian?
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
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Twelve - Her Boyfriend?
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
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Thirteen - Stuck With Him
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
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Fourteen - Eager To Meet Mike!
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
Tempting The Spitfire (Temptation Series Book 6) Chapter Fifteen - Christian Knows The Truth
“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) Chapter Sixteen - We Will Meet Again
Skylar ignored Christian the rest of the time. It wasn’t a hard task to do since he was mostly engaged in conference calls all the time. She didn’t get to talk to Caleb as he returned late. She retired to her room early, just to avoid Christian. He would leave early the next morning and she could relax and enjoy herself for a few days before leaving for New York. She lay down with her phone, chatting with her girl group, when there was a soft knock on her door. Startled, she sat up straight. Was it Christian? Who else would knock on her door at 11 o’clock in the night? Ignoring it, she quietly lay down to sleep. She had no wish to face Christian now. There were two more knocks and then the footsteps faded away. Relieved, she tried to sleep but couldn’t. When nothing worked, she got up to drink some water. Maybe it would calm her down. At home, her granny always insisted on drinking some warm milk at bedtime and it always worked. But where would she get warm milk here? She would have
