"Shall we?" Axel asked when they finished eating, and Reese nodded her head. Rising to his feet, he started walking towards her to help her up, but before he got to where she was sitting, she sprung up. He scratched his temple. "I was going to help you stand up.""As you can see, I am not disabled." She said as she started walking towards the exit. He drew his brows together as he watched her slip through the exit, wondering why she was so angry at him for fighting for her. She was supposed to be fucking grateful!Blowing out a frustrated breath, he quickly trudged out of the room and followed her before she took a cab and went home by herself. He knows Reese. And he knows she’s capable of doing that. "Reese." He called when he finally caught up with her outside the restaurant. "Yes, Axel?" She muttered without bothering to look at him. "Stop this." He groaned. Without bothering to reply, she sauntered to where his driver had parked the black limousine. Daniel was standing ou

When they got to Axel’s house, they went straight to his room. And as they walked inside the room, Reese asked. "What do you mean by I belong to you?""I believe I have already told you so many times, Reese." He said as he pulled out his watch from his wrist. "You are the only one I can react to. And because of that, I don’t want to share you with anyone else."Her brows drew together. "You should have told me that right there. Instead of saying you want us to talk in a better place. It's something you could have said right there and then.""If I had told you this there—" he paused and stalked towards her. "You wouldn’t have followed me here. I can’t imagine going through the night without you. I want you here. And don’t get me wrong, Kitty. This is not why I took you out for dinner.”"You tricked me." She said, her eyes boring into his."If that’s what you want to call it, fine." He placed two fingers beneath her chin and slightly lifted it up. "If you feel tricked and don’t want th
The Sweetest Temptation 118| Be my girlfriend.
Axel was still reeling over what happened at Reese’s house. He couldn’t contain his emotions anymore, and he needed to find out why he was feeling that way. He needed to find out why his heart beat uncontrollably fast at the thought of her. He needed to find out why rage was threatening to consume his entire being at the thought of her being with another man at that moment—two emotions he shouldn’t be feeling. He needed answers. So, he decided to talk to Luke. Perhaps he might have answers to what wasn’t clear to him. Turning his phone’s screen on, he called Luke. "Hey, man." Luke said when he picked up the phone. "What’s up?""I was making out with Reese in my house when she suddenly received a call. She put a stop to what we were doing and said she had to go home. When I drove her to her house, I met a man there. I believe that’s the reason she left my place for hers. Do you know the worst thing? She fucking sent me away just to be with that man, and I am fucked up right now. I d
The Sweetest Temptation 119| I don’t care about the rules.
Throughout the work hours that Reese was ignoring Axel, he pondered the feelings that were steaming up inside him—threatening to drive him crazy.Maybe Ethan and Luke were right, he thought. Since she had already clarified that she wasn’t sleeping with the man who was at her house yesterday, there was no reason for him to be angry anymore. If he didn’t stop denying the feeling he had for her and made her his, he might be at risk of losing her to someone else. He wanted her. He didn’t want to lose her. And that—that was what prompted him to ask her to be his girlfriend. "This—this—" She stuttered; she was still in shock. She took a deep breath and continued. "Isn’t this against the rules?""I don’t care about rules, Reese." He groaned. "You mean a lot more than rules to me. I want to make you mine."Her already rapid heartbeat accelerated. "But—" she trailed off. "Tell me you don’t feel anything for me." He said. "Tell me."Of course, she felt something for him. She had been feel

"So, are you guys a thing now?" Zayn asked, as his gaze fell to Axel’s hand that was curled around Reese’s waist. "Yes." Axel quickly said. "She’s my girlfriend."A small smile touched Zayn’s lips. "Congratulations." "Thank you." Axel said, firmly. He darted his gaze at Reese. "What is he doing here?" He asked. "Chill, bro." Zayn rubbed his hand through the back of his neck. "I didn’t come here for your girlfriend. Harry asked me to drop something for Lucy.”"Better." Axel groaned. "Come on, mate. You don’t have to be insecure. She only has eyes for you." Zayn told him.A satisfactory smile curled on Axel’s lips as he glanced at Reese. "I know that.""If you would excuse me," Zayn said as he walked past them.Reese could feel the hurt beneath his eyes. She could see how much Zayn was trying to hide it, and she felt bad for him. He’s a great guy, but there’s nothing she can do. The heart wants what it wants, and it’s not Zayn. It’s Axel.Axel and Reese ventured into the h
The Sweetest Temptation 121| Challenges.
121 fixedAxel was so excited about the turn of events that happened that day that when he got home, he couldn’t contain his joy and called Ethan and Luke in a conference call. "Reese is now your girlfriend?!" They both exclaimed in unison after he told them. "Yes." He said, a smile touching his lips. He was also finding it hard to believe. "Where are you?" Luke quickly asked. "I am at home." He told him. "Why are you asking?""Because I am coming to your house right now." Luke said. "I’m coming too." Ethan quickly said.Before he could ask them not to come, they had already ended the call. They arrived at his house less than an hour later, and they met Axel in his study. "Congratulations man." Luke and Ethan said in unison as they approached him. He was sitting on a chair beside his desk, working on his computer, when they walked in. He glanced at them briefly before returning his gaze to his computer. "You guys don’t have work to do?"They walked to the couch, which was s
The Sweetest Temptation 122| The benefit of the doubt.
Over the next few days, Reese couldn’t stop thinking about who she saw at the restaurant and what he said to Axel. She was bothered—really bothered that he was going to try and severe her relationship with Axel. And if that actually happens, she really hopes that Axel will trust her enough to believe her. Right now, she and Axel were in a meeting with the research team, and she was lost in deep thoughts. She was pulled out of her thoughts when someone suddenly barged into the meeting room. Chloe. She darted her gaze at Axel, and he was as confused as she was. "Axel, I need to talk to you." She said. A scowl flashed on Axel’s face. "I am in a meeting right now. Wait for me outside. "I would attend to you after the meeting.""No!" She retorted as she inched closer to him. "I need to see you now or—""Fine!" Axel quickly cut her off. He didn’t want her to create an ugly scene or disrespect him further in front of his employees. He knew Chloe, and he knew what she was capable of d

She tried several times but still couldn’t reach him.Dashing out of the company, she rushed to his mansion to look for him, but he wasn’t there either.
