Chapter 61
At the same time, Harry secretly tailed Skylar as he wanted to prove that there was nothing going on
between them.
Everyone had their own take on the fiasco. As much as he tried to explain that she went off with another
man, no one was sold on it.
At that moment, Skylar had run to the beach upon receiving Tobias’s call. There, he stood tall with his
strapping shoulders and poised back towards her.
The sand fell from the pebble as she took aim at him with it.
She had wanted to pick up a bigger one but did not have the guts for it.
When he turned, the breeze sweeping across the water ruffled her hair, which flitted and whipped along
as though beholden to its will. The woman was so lithe that a single gust threatened to bowl her over.
The only part he found satisfactory about her body was her bosom. It had the right amount of suppleness
and fitted amply inside his hand.
“So this is your idea of a field trip? Hanging around the beach? Fishing?”
“There’s still the bonfire party after dark, with lots of hot school girls. But they are all proper ladies, so you
shouldn’t get any funny ideas.”
She still thought of him as a player who used and discarded women.
Talking relationships with him were like sending a moth to a flame.
His eyes narrowed. “Surely you are not taking me for a dog that humps every leg I see? I’m not
unprincipled, if you must know.”
She put a hand to her forehead. Anyone had the right to say that unabashedly, except him.
Their first encounter inside an operating theater had no emotional basis. They had just been acquainted
then. If that did not count as unprincipled, she would not know what did.
She was wearing a white shirt on top of a black camisole. The fiery intensity of her nail polish matched
the claret of her lipstick. Her tresses reached down and spilled over her shoulders.
In that getup, Skylar looked like a pinup straight out of a movie poster from the eighties.
When he saw that she had so little on, he brought her close and used his body to warm her.
He did not dislike that she put a face on, as it did not bother him.
“I know a good spot. Lots of trees with little traffic. Shall we meet there tonight?” His hand was already
cruising along her thin blacks straps seeking out his favorite haunts. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Don’t. Someone’s going to see us… My reputation already stinks so bad that I’m probably never getting
married.”
His teasing touch had left her weak at the knees, as it always did. She hated when that happened.
“With me around, what have you got to worry about? Tonight at eight. I’ll see you there.”
The dreadful man was so serious on the surface that he was hard to get close to.
But underneath, he could get pretty crazy.
“I. Don’t. F*ck. In. Public. Aren’t you worried that the boars might get you?”
“I was thinking about paying homage to nature. Whoever said we are going to f*ck in public? You cheeky
little girl!
She coughed while her face ran red to the ears.
Someone else watched from a distance as Skylar frolicked with the man from last night. As they kissed
and hugged, he also saw how Tobias’s hands never left her rear.
Harry had that all on a video which he posted to the class’s chat group as proof that he was not her
boyfriend.
Just like that, Skylar Jones had once again become the eye of the storm.
