In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 271

Tobias treated this place as his temporary imperial residence.

Skylar discovered a long time ago that this man was prone to severe mood swings, and his attitude towards her was hot-and-cold.

When he was in a good mood, he treated her like a precious gem. If she asked, he would probably steal a star from the night sky for her.

However, he was sometimes so brutal that he seemed like a completely different person.

Skylar slammed her schedule for tomorrow onto the table. She hit the table so hard that her hands hurt.

“I have to leave the house before the sun even rises tomorrow. You’ll excuse me for not doing it with you tonight. If you’re so desperate, you can always find another woman to vent your animalistic instincts on.”

Skylar looked as though she had swallowed a few mouthfuls of gunpowder. Tobias gazed at her with a steely expression, feeling aggrieved.

She doesn’t like my present.

Skylar caught a faint whiff of alcohol on his clothes. He had probably come straight here from one of his work parties.

Tobias glanced at her schedule on the table. It was almost completely full—she had a very busy day tomorrow.

Without another word, he took her upstairs to a dimly lit room. The moment they entered the room, Tobias removed his hand from her waist and started undoing the button on her pants.

Skylar grabbed his hand, which was hovering around the edge of her underwear. “Are you going to stay after this, or leave immediately after we do it?”

She decided to pop the question. In the past, she had looked forward to living together with Tobias—that meant they could see each other after work every day. It was some form of happily ever after for her; she supposed.

However, he had ruined this fantasy of hers completely. After a few weeks of their quiet routine, he dropped by less frequently. Sometimes, he refused to reply to her texts or answer her phone calls.

It would be a lie to say his change of heart did not hurt her.

Tobias let go of her. With a salacious expression in his eyes, he said, “Just once? That won’t be enough. We’ll have to do it thrice at least… or I won’t go tonight.”

Skylar didn’t know if she should laugh or cry.

What should’ve happened afterwards happened. Tobias practically ripped her pants off her body. He was very aggressive this time—her pants were only halfway down her thighs before he pushed her onto the bed and entered her from behind.

Sweat dripped down his forehead as he panted and breathed raggedly. He told Skylar in a low voice that it had been half a month since he did it.
