The Sweetest Temptation 43| Irrational things.
Axel was sitting on the porch chair, impatiently waiting for Daniel to come back with his car so that he could explain why he took Reese home without asking for his permission first. He didn't follow immediately because he thought Daniel would ask for his permission to take Reese home when she asked him to, and he would have denied him the permission to do so. But when he went outside to get Reese a few minutes later and take her back inside so that they could discuss a suitable plan for both of them, he realized that she had gone, and he became furious.The moment Daniel drove through the gates, he leapt to his feet and hailed for him to stop before he could take the car to the garage.Wondering why his boss asked him to stop, he turned off the ignition and jumped out of the car."Good morning, sir." Daniel greeted Axel as he approached him. "I have taken Ms. McBride home as you asked me to.""As I asked you to?" Axel asked, raising his brow. "When did I ask you to take her home?"
The Sweetest Temptation 44| Spite him.
Sitting in the back seat of Harry’s car, Reese was peering outside through the window, and for the very first time since she left Axel’s mansion, her core had stopped aching for him.Harry took Lucy and her for grocery shopping, and they were on their way back to their house. Reese hated grocery shopping, but when Harry came back inside the house after he had left to remind Lucy about the grocery shopping she said she wanted to go for, Reese made a decision she had never made before; she willingly offered to go grocery shopping. She thought going grocery shopping and walking around the mall would help rid her mind of thoughts of Axel, and it worked. Her body wasn’t longing for him anymore, but she knew it was only a matter of time before her body betrayed her again. "What are these two doing in front of the house?" Lucy said, cutting through her thoughts.Still peering through the window, she asked. "What two?""Zayn and your boss." Lucy said, and Reese quickly flicked her gaze ahe
The Sweetest Temptation 45| I got you!
Reese made the decision to spite Axel without thinking of the repercussions. As she watched him drive out of the premises, her heart sank at the possibility that he might not want to have anything to do with her again.She wasn't even going to agree to Zayn's proposal, so why did she do that? She should have known that talking about signing a contract with Zayn in her own terms would have made Axel believe that Zayn was making a similar proposal to him. But she wasn't thinking; all she wanted to do was annoy him—and it worked! But she doesn't like the outcome. She might never get to feel his cock inside her, and the thought of that made her want him more.Her attraction to him should have stopped the moment he reduced her to being a prostitute, but it didn't. Instead, her attraction towards him kept growing, and she hated it."Let me help you with these." Zayn offered as he reached for the shopping bags in her hands, jerking her back to reality."Don't worry, I can carry it." She sai
The Sweetest Temptation 46| A hot torture.
Zayn drove Reese to work on Monday morning, and she wasn’t even expecting him to show up after she had rejected his proposal.They had just arrived at her workplace, and the drive there was a silent one. Zayn didn’t say anything about the proposal, nor did he talk about Axel, and she was grateful for that. She didn’t know how she would have escaped those two discussions if he had brought them up again. Lucy saved her the last time, and she wasn’t there to save her again. "I really wasn’t expecting you to drive me here today, judging by the fact that I rejected your proposal." She voiced out her thoughts as she opened the door.Zayn placed his palm over his chest and feigned a wince. "Ouch?""What?" She asked, chuckling softly."I thought we were friends." He muttered. "But I guess you don’t see me as one.""Friends?" She asked, raising her brow. He nodded his head. "Yes. I thought we could be friends, which is why I offered to take you to work every day—not because of the marriage
The Sweetest Temptation 47| Sign it.
After the meeting with the Arabian client, Axel asked Reese to follow him to an offsite meeting with a client at the hots restaurant. Although the meeting was not in his schedule and Reese wondered who they were going there to meet. They were on their way there and Reese had a frown masked on her face. Axel had noticed the frown even before they left the office, but he decided not to say anything about it. But when they were moving closer to the venue, he finally spoke up. "Ms. McBride, can you loosen up your facial expression please?"Swinging her head to the side to look at him, she asked. "Why?""Your facial expression is capable of chasing a client away." She lifted her shoulders in a half shrug. "When we get there I would plaster a smile on my face. But right now? I can’t." She adjusted her self in her seat and started peering through the window. "My facial features seam to uncontrollably tighten around you."But it wasn’t only her facial features that were tight. The thing
The Sweetest Temptation 48| Touch yourself.
The ride back to the company was full of lust and silence. Reese wanted him, but she couldn't say anything considering the fact that she stopped him from touching her."Are you done with your work for today?" Axel asked, finally putting an end to the long silence between them as they stepped out of the elevator."Almost." She said, her voice in a murmur."Follow me to my office." He said, as he started taking long strides towards his office.Hot on his heels, she asked. "Why?"Without turning back to look at her, he replied. "I am your boss, so you have to do whatever I say without questioning me." She didn’t bother to reply to him as they continued walking towards his office. When they got to his office, he pushed the door open and slipped inside, holding the door for Reese. "So why did you ask me to follow you to your office?" Reese asked as she ventured inside the office. "If it’s about the contract, I don’t want to hear it."He closed the door and sauntered to his desk without
The Sweetest Temptation 49| Go with me.
Never in a million years could Reese have imagined that touching herself could be so pleasurable. She enjoyed every bit of the pleasure she gave to herself.They had already dressed up and cleaned up, and she was sitting on the visitors' chair across from him, looking as if something steamy didn’t happen between them moments ago. His elbows were planted on the desk, rubbing his palms together, with his gaze was fixed on her. "You are the best assistant I have ever had." He said, a smirk touching his lips. "I don’t regret hiring you.""How many female assistants have had?" She asked, raising her brow. "And how many have you fucked?" She added. He chuckled softly. "You are the only employee I have ever gotten intimate with." He told her. "Your question should be, how many female employees have I fired for trying to get intimate with me?"Leaning back on her seat, she folded her arms over her chest. "Why me?" Lifting a finger up, he said. "One, I got attracted to you even before you
