The Sweetest Temptation 31| Unsolved problem.
The drive to Reese’s apartment—actually, Lucy’s—was a long and quiet one. Axel’s attention was focused on the road, while Reese was peering out through the window.When Axel made the turn onto her street, she directed him to the house, and he stopped right in front of it."Thank you." She murmured as she opened the car door, but before she could slip out of the car, Axel quickly asked her to wait.She directed her gaze at him and asked. "What?"Her lips were slightly parted, and his mind was crowded with unholy thoughts—unholy imaginations, as he stared at them. All he could think about was the night his manhood was slipping in and out of that mouth, and he wanted to experience that again. "What?" She asked again, scrunching up her face as she stared at him. Looking away from her, he muttered. "Nothing." He held the steering wheel firmly in an attempt to suppress the desire building up inside him. "You can go."He held his breath, and before he could release it, she had already jump
The Sweetest Temptation 32| Shall we?
The following morning, Axel was enthusiastic about two things: the product launch and the offer he was going to make to Reese. He had just finished dressing up in his navy blue tuxedo and white shirt dress, all set for the event. It was going to be a hectic day, he thought and sighed as he trudged to the side of the bed where he had dumped his bag last night. Picking it up and hanging it over his shoulder, he trudged to the door and yanked it open. His eyes narrowed when he saw Eleanor, the head maid, standing just outside the room. It was as if she had been waiting for him to come out of the room. "Good morning, sir." Eleanor quickly greeted "Good morning, Eleanor." He responded, as he continued walking down the hallway."I was waiting for you to come out of your room." She told him, confirming his guess—she was indeed waiting for him in front of his room. Halting in his tracks, he turned back and raised a questioning brow at her. "Why?""I thought you might be busy; that was
The Sweetest Temptation 33| Emergency exit.
The event started, and everything was going smoothly. But Axel’s mind was not settled. He couldn’t stop thinking about the proposal he had for Reese. His plan was to tell her about it after the event, but with the way her thoughts clouded his mind, he didn’t think he could hold on much longer. He has to tell her, and it has to be now!Blowing out a sharp breath, he turned to look at Tom, who was standing beside him. "Where is Ms. McBride?" He asked, raising a brow. "Talk about the devil, and the devil appears." Tom chuckled. "What?!" Axel exclaimed as his gaze followed Tom’s line of sight. "Oh..." he muttered when he saw Reese approaching them.Reese feigned a frown. "Were you gossiping about me?""No." A smile curled on Tom’s lips. "The boss was just asking about you."She darted her gaze at Axel. "Do you need me to do anything?"Axel nodded his head. "Yes." He turned to look at Tom. "Go and check how impressed customers are with the new product.""That’s not my job." It’s—" "—N

"Mr. Griffin," Reese called as they walked inside Axel’s office. "What’s the important thing you want to discuss with me?""Why are you in a rush?" He pulled out the visitor’s chair across his desk. "Sit," he urged. She raised a brow. "Am I safe?""What do you mean by that?" he asked, as he walked around the desk and slouched on his swivel chair."You have been acting like a perfect gentleman." She inched closer to the chair and sat on it. "It feels too good to be true."He chuckled softly. "I am just trying to make up for my mistakes.""Mistakes?" She planted her elbows on the desk and held her chin in her palms, urging him to elaborate. "Look, Reese." He scratched his temple. "I know I have been a total jerk to you and—""Wow!" she exclaimed, cutting him off. He drew his brows together. "What?" She had never expected Axel to admit that he was wrong. What he said came as a surprise to her, which was why she exclaimed. But she was not going to ruin the apology he was about to rend
The Sweetest Temptation 35| Zayn?
Reese was in the living room, her legs criss crossed on the couch, and her hands were pressing a throw pillow to her chest. Her eyes were glued to the television, but her mind was far away, reminiscing about what happened between her and Axel in his office. She enjoyed every bit of the pleasure he administered to her, and she wanted more. Just the thought of it was making her wet all over again, and she could feel her femininity twitching. Fuck! She wanted his hands inside her all the time, and she couldn’t wait to feel every inch of his manhood inside her. He was the only one who could make her body come alive with want, but it was just so unfortunate that it had to be him. Who even signs a contract to be in a sexual relationship? It could only be his arrogant ass, she thought. She knows she shouldn’t have allowed him to touch her after proposing such an insulting plan to her, but she couldn't help it; she couldn’t resist him. But boy, does she regret it? No! Would she allow h
The Sweetest Temptation 36| You—must—go.
Reese wasn’t wrong when she thought she heard Zayn’s voice before she drifted into deep sleep. She was awake now, and she could hear his baritone voice inside the living room, clear and loud. Her gaze darted to the window, and she realized that the sky outside was dark—indicating that it was night already. She thought she was just going to take a short nap, but it turned out that she had slept for hours. Wondering what Zayn was still doing in their house after hours, she dragged herself out of the bed and made her way to the living room as she yawned repeatedly. "The heiress is up." Zayn beamed as she ventured inside the living room. She opened her mouth to talk, but her words died on her lips when she yawned again. "Hey! Don’t swallow us." Zayn teased, chuckling softly. Rolling her eyes, she directed her gaze at Harry, who was sitting beside Lucy on the couch. "Good evening, Harry." She greeted, as she approached them.Zayn feigned a frown. "Aren’t you going to greet me?"Re
The Sweetest Temptation 37| Introvert, extrovert.
The music was loud, and Reese was seated by the bar counter, sipping from a glass of sparkling water as she watched Lucy dance on the dance floor with Harry. Zayn was seated next to Reese. When they got to the club, he proposed to pay for a private booth, but Lucy objected. She preferred dancing in the midst of strangers because she thought that was the fun of going to a club. "Why aren’t you dancing?" Zayn asked Reese. She darted her gaze at him. "Because I was brought here against my will." She took a sip of her sparkling water. "And besides, I am not a club person.""My neither." He said. "Then why were you in support of us coming here?" She asked, as she darted her gaze back to Lucy. "Well, I didn’t know that we were going to stay here." He glanced around. "I don’t like staying in the middle of a crowd while I am in a club. I prefer staying in a private booth."Reese nodded her head in response before changing the subject. "How’d you meet Harry?" She asked and flicked her gaz
The Sweetest Temptation 38| Disappointment.
Axel went to the club with his friends—Luke and Ethan—but he wasn’t feeling the club vibe anymore, so he decided to go home. On his way out, he subconsciously flicked his gaze to the side, and his eyes caught Reese, sitting with the guy who claimed to be her fiancé by the bar, and a strange feeling suddenly crawled up his chest—jealousy. Although she told him that he wasn’t her fiancé, but she didn’t tell him who he was. Whoever he was, he didn’t want to see her with him. She belonged to him and him alone. Before he could stop himself, he was already taking long strides towards them."What are you doing here?" He asked, rage burning beneath his eyes. "What are you doing to her?" She countered. "I came clubbing with my friends," he retorted."Well…” she opened her arms out in demonstration. "I came clubbing too."He darted his gaze at Zayn. "With him?"Nodding her head, she replied, "Do you have a problem with that?"He blew out a sharp breath. "Let’s go outside and talk." She ad
