Fell Into His Love Trap (Skylar and Tobias)
Chapter 67

"Everyone at your wedding will know about us, and they will look upon me with pity and ridicule. I wouldn't want the ignominy of being known as the one who has been dumped." Tobias paused with lips pursed. "I understand."

Upon that, Skylar heaved a sigh of relief. That went better than she thought it would.

Her subliminal despondence did not go unnoticed.

All of a sudden, she was swept up in a cradle and brought to the bed. Then almost half of his body mass melded unto her.

His lips were soft and gentle, as were the familiar moans they elicited from hers when they caressed upon her skin.

Guilt was the word when she wholeheartedly surrendered her flesh to this cursed addiction.

She allowed her bathrobe to be loosened and parted so she might tremble at his touch.

His long and slender digits were about to deepen her pleasure when their primal symphony was rudely interrupted.

Bang! Wood was smashed against concrete.

Someone had the door to the room violently thrown open.

Tobias was momentarily stunned. Skylar's hands remained hooked tightly around his nape for just as long.

"That's gone far enough, Tobias." Claudia's bellow reverberated around the presidential suite.

Skylar was shuddering when Tobias quick hands wrapped the comforter over her to shield her.

Only her face was left visible when she shrunk beneath the sheets.

"Mom, why does it have to be so hard? When will I ever be free of this little vixen?" Tanya sobbed as she buried a tearful face into Claudia's shoulders.

Skylar's heart was racing so fast that it threatened to expunge itself from her orifices.

"Please. I can explain!" said the girl within the sheets.

She then fell silent upon realizing how futile that would be.

No amount of whitewashing was going to justify this sort of travesty.

Her mind then began to postulate all the different scenarios that would befall a mistress in an encounter with the man's wife - Getting her hair pulled; stripped; her teeth kicked in by a bunch of hired thugs. At one point, she was dying to have his fiancée discover their affair so that he might leave her to her peace.

In hindsight, she wished otherwise because now she was dead scared.

Skylar was meeting her counterpart for the first time. Tanya was not merely stunning; she was unreal.

"Didn't you know we are to be married? How could you!" The wetness of Tanya's eyes soaked the fabric on Claudia's shoulder.

Even so, Tobias gnashed his teeth in annoyance. "Did you have to make such a fuss about it?"

Claudia's hand swiped across her son's cheeks before she held it to her own chest. Her trembling lips were bluish with rage.

"You're going to come home with me this instant. Should you refuse to cut all ties with this woman and do what's right by Tanya, I will disown you."

"Let's talk this over later. Just don't frighten her." Tobias responded.

His words sent the older woman over the edge. Her bloodshot eyes burned at the girl cowering in bed.

As much as Skylar wanted to step out, her own nakedness dissuaded her. She needed a hole in which to bury her shame.

"When are you going to stop tormenting me? Will you be happier if I was dead? Didn't you say that you love me? That you aren't serious about these women? That this is only because I can't satisfy you because of my pregnancy? Come home, and don't make mother mad anymore."

Claudia's face dropped when she heard that.

The older woman had been praying and hoping for Tanya to add to the family. Her own son had crossed the line this time.

For a man to fool around while his wife was with a child, one slap would never be enough.
