Skylar had felt that something was amiss during this visit of Tobias’, when they’d barely had any physical contact. It worried her, knowing that Tobias wasn’t one to restrain himself. However, Skylar found herself too bashful to approach the subject if he did not initiate it for fear that she might look desperate.
“I’m in a rush to leave. My assistant’s coming over in less than fifteen minutes. Is that enough for you?” Skylar said hesitantly.
It was as if Skylar’s words had triggered something in Tobias. His eyes darkened, and he grabbed her roughly, kissing Skylar with such violent passion that he seemed almost intent on swallowing her whole. It felt like he was releasing his pent-up emotions.
Suffused in her yearning, Skylar was rudely yanked out of the moment by a brisk rapping on the door.
“Ms. Jones, have you woken up yet? It’s time to leave,” Hannah’s voice called faintly from behind the door.
Skylar and Tobias disentangled themselves regretfully. Tobias looked at Skylar critically, then said, “Don’t use green tea-flavored toothpaste anymore. I don’t like the taste of it.”
Skylar wiped her mouth surreptitiously. “It’s better than the smell of cigarettes. I’ll change my toothpaste when you quit smoking,” she teased.
Skylar knew how addicted Tobias was to smoking. He used to be able to finish a pack in two days.
Tobias patted Skylar on her behind. “Stop arguing. Go ahead with your work. Be patient, though. I won’t have the time to visit you before the filming ends.”
Skylar seized Tobias’ hand in hers, sulking. “How do you expect me to be patient? I won’t physically cheat on you, but I might stray emotionally. Will that do?”
Tobias took in Skylar’s lovely, irresistible face, then replied evenly, “It’s up to you. I don’t like other men touching my women, but I don’t think I have to teach you that.”
