LISAI woke up feeling refreshed as I'd never felt before. For a minute after I woke up, I was disconnected and lost because I didn't understand where I was. The white walls and interiors didn't feel familiar at all and I was immediately discombobulated before I remembered that I had slept over in Axel's house and I had woken up in his bed. I don't remember ever waking up in someone else's bed.I smiled in contentment as I stretched on the bed and I expected my hand to meet the solid frame that was Axel's body but my hands met nothing. Sleep cleared from my eyes and I looked around the room to find him gone. I stood up and my first check was in the bathroom but he wasn't there. I quickly freshened up before going out of the bathroom and I went in search of him. The smell of fresh toast and brewing coffee immediately assaulted my nose when I stepped out of the bathroom and I took a deep breath to inhale the scent deeply. I started to walk in the direction the aroma was coming from a

I'd never gotten used to parting ways with Tana once we arrived at the lecture halls, but I returned her small wave as she walked away because I knew I'd see her real soon.The wind was having a field day, blowing through rustling leaves and ruining my perfectly laid hair as I walked toward my lecture hall.I loved the weather, but it had its unpleasant quirks, ones that made it somewhat annoying.After walking in long strides to avoid unnecessary chit-chat with passersby, not like I’d ever involve myself in conversing with anyone in the first place, I was finally seated right in time for the lecture.As if on cue, the lecturer waltzed in a few minutes after I'd set up my laptop and greeted the class casually.The lecture went by in a breeze mostly because I was immersed and intrigued enough to enjoy every bit of it, I loved being a brilliant mind in the tech space.The lecturer left the class with a few students trailing behind him and badgering him with questions, while I stayed put

LISA"I'll be your lover and server for the day mademoiselle," he said teasingly as he rose from his seat across me.I blushed so hard, I must've looked as red as a freshly harvested tomato.He shot me a low sultry glance as he noticed my blush and I looked away shyly while he opened the picnic baskets to reveal mouth-watering mini shrimp rolls which I assumed would serve as appetizers.God, this man was a genius."Here, beautiful." He handed me a small saucer with three mini shrimp rolls and curtseyed like an actual waiter making me laugh.No matter how many times he called me beautiful, I'd always feel my heart skip because I truly felt seen, beautiful, and whole in his presence."Why, thank you handsome" I made sure the compliment sounded like a tease since he was intentionally being one as well.I grabbed a mini shrimp roll and stuffed it in my mouth, it tasted just as amazing as it looked and I knew I was in for a picnic I'd never forget."Wine?" He asked as the cork of the Caber

LISAWe walked into the house with our arms intertwined and I kept bumping into him slightly as we went up the stairs that led to his room. I loved that being tipsy made me bolder yet I would be able to savor every moment because I was perfectly sane.We'd barely even entered his room when his mouth was suddenly on mine and he was kissing me. He kissed me slowly, not the ferocious one that I was used to from him, as if he was trying to savor this moment. It was a very slow kiss, one full of passion, like communication of souls, like he was enjoying doing this and it just wasn't foreplay or build-up to sex for him. I couldn't get used to this; couldn't get used to the fact that Axel was kissing me as if I was a treasure, a trophy, and not just someone he was with for the sake of kissing alone. I moaned into his mouth at the intensity of the pleasure his tongue was invoking in me, and the sound caused his hand to tighten around my neck as he dug his hips into me so I'd feel the budge

LISAAngel's mention of "a blessing in disguise" seemed to have piqued everyone's interest but it had simply stirred up my anger, however, I couldn't deny that I was somewhat eager and also anxious to hear what she'd cooked up this time around.Dad, on the other hand, needed to get a word in as usual because when he was angry he didn't care about anything else."There's no way this mess of a relationship could be a blessing in disguise because it's a disaster and Lisa has put each and every one of us at a huge risk. I mean, only God knows what Axel is planning by using Lisa as his pawn" My father's loud and authoritative tone rang through the room.I got more and more furious as every word left his lips but the smile that grew slowly on Angel's lips caught my attention even more. What did she have up her sleeves this time? Hadn't she done enough?!"I believe that we can turn things around in our favor, especially since we know that Axel Ivanov is bringing in a really important shipmen
