In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 616 So Close Yet So Far

Madelyn was not in, so Skylar came up close to Tobias and planted her long sexy leg on his.

She could feel his warmth on her bare skin.

Tobias caressed her thigh sensuously as he smilingly jested, “What is that for? Trying to seduce me this early in the morning?”

Skylar playfully rubbed her foot against his inner thigh to tease him but was stopped by him.

He held on lovingly to her foot and said, “Stop fooling around. I have to leave soon after breakfast. We won’t have enough time for it.”

He may be rejecting her, but his gaze and tone were clearly doting and indulging.

Skylar withdrew her foot, wore her slippers, and walked behind him. As she bent down to whisper in his ear, her long flowy hair fell close to his face, and he could smell the fresh cherry blossom scent of her shampoo.

“Can you be back a little earlier today? You came and ejected in me that night. I couldn’t bring myself to ask anyone to help me get the pills, and I can’t possibly go buy it myself.” She spoke plainly without a hint of shyness, her tone light and matter-of-fact.

Tobias put down his fork and softly said, “Why did you not tell me earlier? I could have brought it for you last night. Is it still in time?”

Skylar wasn’t sure if it was beyond forty-eight hours, but nonetheless, she nodded and said, “I’ll take the pill no matter what. If it is too late to be effective and I get pregnant, I will go for an abortion. I promise you will not have to be responsible for that.”

She made light of the matter as if aborting the baby would not be a big deal to her. Deep in her heart, she knew how much the baby would mean to her and that she was only putting on a brave front to assure him.

Tobias gently caressed her firm and toned stomach, but his silence spoke volumes about how he felt.

Skylar had no disillusion about her future with Tobias. Even though they had been together for quite a while already, she knew they had no future together. He might have indulged in her and made her feel that he could be trusted and depended on, but she knew he was never really committed to their relationship.

She would love to keep the child if she were blessed with one. However, knowing he would be reluctant, she would not want to make things difficult for him.

“What’s the name of the pill?” It was an innocent question from him, but she felt hurt and disappointed when she heard that. It was a clear confirmation of his stand and she was rudely robbed of the faint hope that he would think otherwise.

She took a deep breath to rid herself of the disappointment then told him the name of the morning-after pill, and he carefully noted it down. Just then, his phone rang, and she instinctively hushed up so he could take his call. She would never utter a sound whenever he was on his phone. Even if she cut herself on the finger, she would not let out a whimper to make her presence known. That was the price she had to pay for having a secret relationship with him.

He had to entertain many calls during the day, and he usually let the caller do most of the talking and replied briefly when necessary. Even if he were to speak at length, she would not understand what they were talking about. Those business matters were not of interest to her, and she knew she would be of no help to him.

She had a poor appetite since a few days ago, and the French toast on the table could not entice her. She also tired easily and was constantly craving sleep.

She went online to read up and found that those were symptoms of the early stage of pregnancy. However, based on her calculations, that was highly improbable as it was only a couple of days ago when they had unprotected sex.

Two nights ago, Tobias was in a very horny mood and demanded sex when they were on the couch. He lay down on the couch and held her close to him. He was so aroused that he placed his hands on her hips and guided her to mount on him before she could draw the curtains or remove their clothes.

Recalling the raunchy details of that night as she watched Tobias take his call at the other end of the room, her face and ears turned red.

His strong and sharp features were prominent, and even the warm morning sun couldn’t soften his sculptured look. He stood with a hand on his hip, his head lowered in concentration as he took the call. Even though his white business shirt was not fully buttoned up and he was dressed casually without a tie, he was the presence of power and success.

She was enchanted by him, but at the same time, keenly aware of their seemingly unbridgeable differences.
