"Do you like it?" Axel asked Reese, as he took a bite of the French toast in his hand. They were at the dining table, eating, with his gaze fixed on her. She hoisted her head up to look at him. "Not bad, but Daniella makes better French toasts."He raised a brow. "Who is Daniella?""Daniella?" She took a bite of her French toast and swallowed before she continued. "Daniella is my friend." She lied. Daniella wasn’t her friend. She was the cook in her father’s mansion, and she couldn’t have told Axel who Daniella really was because she didn’t want him to know that she came from a wealthy family. Letting him know about her social status would make him want to know why she was working for him since her family was wealthy, and she knows very well how things might turn out, which is why she lied. "The one I met at your house last Saturday?" He asked, raising his brow. "No." She shook her head. "That’s Lucy."He took a bite of his French toast. "You have too many friends.""Do you even
The Sweetest Temptation 58| You don’t like this?
When Reese got outside, Lucy was already seated in the living room, sitting comfortably like she owned the house. "Do you ever get nervous?" Reese asked as she approached her. "No." Lucy said, rolling her eyes. "There’s nothing to get nervous about. I’m in my in-laws' house." Reese gritted her teeth. "He’s not your in-law.""Well, he would be soon." Lucy winked at her. "Trust the process. Love would come after sex."Reese smacked her on her shoulder as she slouched down beside her. "Shut up; his workers might be lurking around somewhere, hearing you."Lucy rolled her eyes. "I don’t care.""What did you bring?" Reese quickly changed the subject as she leaned forward and picked up the duffel bag that was sitting beside them on the floor. "Thank you, babe." "Anything for you, bitch," Lucy beamed. Reese raised a questioning eyebrow at her. "You got here faster than expected. How did it do it?""What?" She winked at her. "Did I interrupt anything?""No!" Reese exclaimed and coughed at
The Sweetest Temptation 59| Hey, workaholic.
"Wake up!" Reese heard a distant voice say, and that voice was followed by a light tap on her arm, and she adjusted herself on the bed."You’ll make us go late for work if you don’t wake up now." The voice continued, and she quickly flicked her eyes open.Axel was sitting right beside her, looking at her, with a smile touching his lips. "Sleepy head." He said, taking his hand to her cheeks, he caressed it slightly. "I’m not." She mumbled and tried to close her eyes again, but Axel held her shoulders and shook her vigorously until she flicked her eyes open again."Stand up and get ready for work." He said, as he gazed down at her. "Can’t I get a little more sleep?" She whined. He shook his head. "We are getting late for work already."She heaved a sigh before reluctantly seating up. "What time did you come to bed yesterday?" She asked. After Axel went to the study yesterday, he didn’t leave the study before she went to bed. His dinner was taken to the study. He just kept working n
The Sweetest Temptation 60| Luke.
Reese was thinking about what Axel said at the parking lot all day and when it was finally time for her to leave work. She rushed to his office. She knocked on his door and immediately pushed it open, without waiting for his permission to enter."Ready to go home?" He asked as she approached him. Before she could reply, a knock sounded on the door, and the door was pushed open almost immediately. A tall young man who was wearing a white button-up shirt and black pants with his suits hanging over his shoulders slipped through the door, and Reese wondered who he was."Hey, Axel, is this Reese?" The man asked, and confusion spread across her face. Who is he? And how does he know her? She thought. "I’m Reese," she said, raising her eyebrows. "And you are?""I am Luke." The man stretched his hand forward to shake Reese's hand. "Nice to finally meet you. I have heard a lot about you."She took his hand, wondering if the "a lot" he has heard about her includes the sexcapades between her
The Sweetest Temptation 61| Just sex partners.
When Reese and Axel were finally alone in his office, she inched closer to his desk and sat on the visitors' chair. "Why did you agree to take me with you to the club?" She asked and shook her head. "I don’t want to go."He raised a brow. "What do you want to do?" "I don’t know." She shrugged. "Anything else except going to the club.""Let’s just stick to our initial plan then." He rubbed his palms together, his gaze fixed on her. "Go and wait for me naked.""But you promised your friend that you were going to be there." She said. "Isn’t he going to get mad if you don’t show up?""I would just tell him that we lost track of time while having sex. He already knows that we are sex partners.” He leaned back in his seat and crossed his arms over his chest. "I would make him believe that it was so good, hence why we lost track of time.""You told him that we were sex partners?" Reese asked, raising her brow. "Yes." He nodded his head. "Isn’t that what we are? Just sex partners."Reese w
The Sweetest Temptation 62| Kind gesture.
It wasn’t until 10:00 p.m. before Axel returned home, and she was still fully clothed when he arrived. Based on the mood he was in before she left his office, she wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to strip her naked while waiting for him to return, as he had instructed when they got to work in the morning.She was on the bed, watching a movie with her phone out of boredom, when he slipped inside the room."Welcome." She muttered as he ventured inside the room, and he nodded his head in response.He was still giving her attitude, she noticed. She was so glad that she wasn’t waiting for him naked; if not, she would have felt mortified if he had given her the attitude while she was naked. She knew she shouldn’t have said what she said earlier, but he was overreacting, and it was getting really annoying. "Mr. Griffin." She called, and he briefly glanced at her to show that he was listening to whatever she had to say. He wasn’t concerned about her calling him by his last name, and she
The Sweetest Temptation 63| Can we talk?
As Reese slowly opened her eyes the following morning, the first thing her eyes caught was Axel’s gaze, and her heart slipped a beat.He was laying down beside her, staring intently at her, and he quickly flicked his gaze away when she opened her eyes."Good morning, Mr. Griffin." She greeted, her voice in a murmur."Good morning." He said under his breath.He carried on with the attitude he was giving her from yesterday to today, and she was not having it anymore. She couldn’t continue to stay in his house if he was going to continue with the shitty attitude he was showing her. She needed to protect her mental health because it seemed she was losing it already.Pressing her lips together in a thin line, she said. "Can we talk?"He quickly jumped out of bed. "Not now. I am going to the study now." He said, but Reese wasn’t going to allow him to get away this time around."You have been ignoring me since yesterday, and I am not comfortable with it." She told him as she sat up on the b
The Sweetest Temptation 64| You’ll be fine.
Reese had no other choice but to go back to Lucy’s house because she had no other place to go. The worst that could happen is for her mom to catch her there. It's not like she was going to go to jail. When she entered the living room feeling down in the dumps, she saw Harry and Lucy cuddling up naked on the couch. "Damn, sorry." She muttered and quickly looked away, glad that Lucy’s body was covering Harry’s and she didn’t get to see Harry’s manhood. "Reese!" Lucy exclaimed as she tried to stand up, but Harry quickly grabbed her and pulled her even closer."Stay still and help me cover up." He told her, and a smile curled on her lips. "I would head inside now." Reese said as she made her way to the bedroom."I would be with you shortly." She heard Lucy yell just as she slipped inside the bedroom. Down in the dump, she dumped her bag in the middle of the room, then strode to the bed and tumbled on it. She left Axel’s house because she wanted to be away from him so that she could
