The Sweetest Temptation 70| Ta-da!
The second Axel jumped out through the window, Reese quickly rushed out of the room, to the front door and yanked it open. "Ta-da!" She beamed awkwardly as she grabbed her mom’s wrist and pulled her inside.She had to make sure her mom entered the house quickly, because Axel’s car was parked in front of it, so if he got to the front of the house, he would see her, and she needed to avoid that. "So I was right." Her mom said as she snatched her hand from Reese’s grip. "Right about what?" Reese asked, feigning ignorance. She knew exactly what her mom was talking about. "About you being here." Her mom said. "Oh." She scratched the back of her neck and smiled awkwardly. "Surprise.""Good evening, Mrs. McBride." Lucy greeted Reese’s mom, and she swung her head to look at her, a dark look seeping through her eyes."Excuse us." Mrs. McBride said, and Lucy nodded her head before sauntering to the bedroom. "Mom, why are you here?" Reese asked the moment Lucy was out of sight. "So, you p
The Sweetest Temptation 71| Not special.
After Reese’s mom left, she went inside the room, and Lucy, who was laying down on the bed when she stepped inside, quickly jerked up and rushed to where Reese was standing, worried and curious to know how the conversation with her mother went. "What did she say?" Lucy quickly asked. Silence fell as Reese averted her gaze away from Lucy, unable to tell her how her mom threatened to make her suffer if she didn’t go back to London with her. Her silence bothered Lucy, and she jumped full-steam on the worry train. "Tell me what happened." Lucy demanded, her eyes searching Reese’s face for answers."It’s nothing." Reese forced a smile, as she ventured further into the room and sat on the bed. Lucy knew she was hiding something, and she wondered what it was that her mother told her that she was hiding. She was really worried about her, but it was obvious that she didn’t want to talk about it and that she wasn’t going to press her. Her gaze fixed on Reese, she sighed. "I hope you are o

"Lucy, calm down." Reese tried to calm her friend down, but Lucy wasn’t having it. Reese’s mom just threatened to take her means of livelihood away from her, and that wasn’t even the worst thing. She also threatened to make her parents back in New York bear the brunt of her anger if she fails to convince Reese to go back to New York.With all that? There was no way she was going to calm down. She was enraged and felt helpless because there was nothing she could do."Reese, I am sorry, but I don’t want you to come back here." Lucy spat. "I think it’s best if you just stay there with Axel from now on. At least she won’t be able to threaten him.""Lucy…" Reese called softly, tears brimming in her eyes, hurt as hell that her best friend was forsaking her. "Can I come over so we could just talk about it in person?""Reese, didn’t you listen to all that I said?" Lucy snapped. "I don’t want to have anything to do with you. At least not now."Her words, every sentence, drilled an unending ho
The Sweetest Temptation 73| My prints on you.
Reese has been staying with Zayn for three days now, and he has been so good to her. He takes her to work every morning and drives her back home after work. But those three days have been really tough on her because Lucy was still pushing her away and Axel carried on with the attitude from the night she left his house. He had been deliberately avoiding her, and that bothered her a lot. Today, however, she was ready to confront him and talk it out with him. She was tired of the awkwardness between them. She was in his office and she had just finished briefing him on his schedule for that day, and he expected her to leave after that, but she didn’t. She remained seated, determined to put an end to the nonsense that had been going on for days."Ms. McBride, anything else?" He asked, raising his brow. She nodded her head. "Yes."He raised his brow, urging her to continue. "Why have you been avoiding me?" She asked. "Avoiding you?" He asked, feigning ignorance. "I have not been avoi

Axel darted his gaze at Reese, worry saturating his features. "Are you okay?"She was definitely not okay! But he looked worried, and she didn’t want him to worry too much, so she nodded her head and lied. "I am okay."He could see right through her lies that she wasn’t okay and he really wanted to take her into his arms and comfort her. But he had to take care of the scumbag first.Pressing his lips together, he returned his gaze to the mysterious man, who was still on the floor, wincing in pain. "Who the fuck are you?" He barked, but he didn’t get a response from the man."Are you even an employee here?" Axel pressed on, but he still didn’t get any response from him, and that frustrated him. Blowing out a frustrated breath, he slipped his phone out of his pocket, called the securities, and asked them to rush to the printing room.The mysterious guy tried to stand up, but Axel threw another punch at him, causing him to forcefully fall back on the floor.Axel briefly glanced at Rees
The Sweetest Temptation 75| Melodious tune.
Understanding Axel is an impossible feat. One moment he is so kind to her, and the next he becomes so cold. They had just arrived at his house, and she was wondering if he would let her stay there peacefully or chase her away with his attitude like he always does."Call that guy and ask him to bring your things here." Axel told her as they walked towards the front door of his mansion, his arm wrapped around her waist."I would go and get my things myself." She spoke quietly. "Bold of you to assume that I am going to allow you to go back to his house." "What?" Reese asked, confused, as she swung her head to the side to look at him. "You are not going back there, Reese." "But—" She tried to protest, but he cut her off. "Unless you really want us to end this." He said, as they slipped through the door. Eleanor was the first person they saw when they entered, and she had a big smile on her face. "Welcome sir." She beamed, then darted her gaze at Reese. "Hi, Ms. McBride.""Hi." Ree
The Sweetest Temptation 76| A doctor or a therapist.
There's no getting over what happened between Axel and Reese yesterday. The sex was so good that they had to do it three times!He was in his office, rolling in his swivel chair, reminiscing about the way his cock moved smoothly inside her femininity. The way she let out those sexy moans after each stroke.Damn! He's never going to let go of such a great sex partner, he thought. He allowed Zayn to take her away from him once, but that's never going to happen again.He was still rolling on his swivel chair, smiling from ear to ear, with an abandoned project on his desk, when a knock suddenly sounded on the door, whisking him back to reality.He cleared his throat. "Who is it?"The person behind the door didn't bother to reply when she opened the door and slipped inside the office."Mom?!" He exclaimed, his eyes narrowing in bewilderment. "What are you doing here?""I came to check up on my son." She beamed as she approached him. "How are you, Axel?"Axel pressed his lips together and l
The Sweetest Temptation 77| Unholy things.
Axel hoisted his head up to see Reese approaching his office with a file in her hands. "Hello, Mr. Griffin." She said, a smile tugging her lips apart. "Going somewhere?""No." He took his hand to his head and rubbed his temple. He was so angry, but for some weird reason, seeing her and hearing her voice soothed his heart, and the rage boiling within him cooled down. "So, why are you outside?" She chuckled. "You look confused, Axel.""I was going to your office." He lied as he wrapped his arms around her waist, then leaned in and kissed her on her neck. "I missed you.""Axel…" She called as she quickly pulled away from him. "People might see us."Right. His mother is inside his office, and she might come out at any moment. Her seeing him with Reese in this position is something he doesn’t want. How would he even explain to her that he and Reese are nothing more than just sex partners? "Should we go inside your office?" She said, cutting through his thoughts as she moved closer to th
