A glint of delight flashed across Tobias’ eyes. “You were so wasted and reeked of alcohol. I couldn’t do it.”
Pfft! Skylar rolled her eyes and flung his hand away.
Just as she stepped out of the car, she heard a beeping sound of the car being locked, followed by Tobias’ footsteps behind her.
Skylar was exhausted from their dalliance well into the night, hence she was reluctant to get out of the bed the next morning when she was woken up by a crying Penelope’s call.
This relationship of hers has taken a heavy toll on my well-being as well. Luckily I don’t have that many close friends. In fact, Penelope is the only one.
With one hand holding the phone, Skylar struggled to put on some clothes with the other.
Having slept naked for the whole night, Skylar feared she might have caught a cold.
She blamed Tobias for not waking her up and reminding her to put on a sleeping robe.
Still lying next to Skylar, Tobias was also awakened by the call. “Just hang up already. It’s so annoying,” he complained in a slumber.
Skylar could not make out what Penelope was trying to say in between her sobs, so she told Penelope she would meet her in an hour’s time.
Tobias pulled Skylar back into his arms. His thin lips were now inches away from her neck as he breathed into her ear, causing her heart to race uncontrollably.
Being a lady-killer, seducing women was second nature to Tobias.
Skylar had seen some of Tobias’ high school photos and felt a twinge of envy. Some people are just blessed with good looks their whole lives.
Skylar turned over so that she was facing him and rested her hand on his chest.
