ILLICIT AFFAIRS Thirteen: Teasing
LISA"No, but really Lisa, that was so damn unfair."I rolled my eyes to the back of my skull as we walked into the school premises."What was?""How you acted at the party!" she yelled in exasperation, "am I even supposed to spell it out for you again?"I feigned ignorance, "how did I act?""God! Stop insulting my intelligence please or I'm going to have to wack your head."I chuckled, "but seriously Tana, I don't know what you're talking about.""Yes, you do, girl, you rejected all advances then you stripped like that! What the fuck?" she exclaimed get surprised again, "you stripped like a total professional, and right now, I'm starting to have mixed feelings and doubt. I'm not sure..." she paused and turned to look at me, "I'm not sure you don't have a secret identity now because that's stripping was too neat and clean. It was too professional.""It's just something that I do for fun. There's not that much about it.""That's too clean for something that you do just for fun and besi

LISAWas fate playing some sort of tricks on me because what's this?Like, why do things like this keep happening?We've been attending this school for three years and fine, Axel doesn't know about my existence and I was the only one that knows but despite that, I could count the number of times I've run into him on one hand. Granted, he was the most popular face in school but I could avoid seeing him as long as I avoid going to places where he always frequented, the popular joints in school.But now, Axel suddenly gets to know of my existence and we keep running into each other every minute. We coincidentally attend the same class, ran into each other at parties, ran into each other at libraries and cafeterias, and now, he was here again in the last place I expected to see him.I bit down on my lower lip, annoyance thrumming in my guts. I didn't want to deal with Axel any more than impossible. I didn't want to keep seeing him because being in his presence was not only suffocating but

LISAWe ended up in a pub.Axel and I.Not literally though. One of the guys in the volunteering team suggested we end the day with drinks and music and every other volunteer lapped up at the idea, including Axel because that guy never shies away from any opportunity to party and drink.I was the only one who said I needed to go because I had something important to get to. Of course, I’d be the only one who’d shy away from a party like that because I was the obvious nerd in the group with my jackets and pants and sneakers while the other girls were dressed in shorts and pencil trousers with tank tops. They didn't make a big deal out of it, obviously, a girl that looked and dressed like me was not going to contribute any fun to the outing so they were not going to miss me and I was already about to walk away when Axel whispered something annoying and demeaning into my ears and Maddy, one of the nicer looking girls insisted I go with them so eventually, I had no option but to follow t

LISA “I dare you to go strip on that pole for a minute,” she dared sweetly, the fakest and most plastic smile on her face. The others exchanged glances at the dare because yeah, looking at me, I didn't look like a girl that'd even want to go near a strip pole, not to talk of stripping on it but no one said anything. Well, except Maddy who bent to whisper in my ear. “You don’t have to do it if you don't want to, I can just drink the shots for you.” “No,” I smiled at her, “thank you but I’ve got this.” I reached for the top button of my jacket and popped it open and involuntarily, my eyes were drawn to Axel. He was staring at me, more like staring at what I was doing with his eyes fixated on the movement of my hands with an intensity that made my blood surge faster, that made everything in the room fade into thin air till it was just the both of us in the room and that... It made it seem like I was undressing for him, that I was baring my body for him to do whatever he wanted with

AXELFor as far back as I could remember, I've never done anything, not even the slightest and smallest thing that went against what I was supposed to do.I've always done what was expected of me. Trained to become the best physical fighter I've ever met, yes, I put my body through all those shit to get there.Become detached and take lives without flinching, yes, I did that too. Heck, I had my first kill at 8 when most kids were still trying to cram the multiplication table.I worked with a team and tracked down a snitch when I was just 12. I became a mastermind, someone to be feared, someone ruthless and dangerously lethal in the mafia world before I even became legal. I've been doing what was expected of me and even more to prove myself because I needed to prove myself worthy of being an Ivanov. I was a whore's son after all and dad brought me in when he already has his heir so I needed to be better than Avan at all costs. Not that that takes so much of hard work anyway, but Rom

LISAWere my cheeks still burning with embarrassment from what happened at the pub?Hell yes! I should have never let him get close to me, never let him put his hands on me but I did all that and this devastating result was what I got.It made my insides burn with disdain. What was I even thinking? It was just my neck and it was just a kiss. No matter how sensitive that spot was, no matter how responsive I've always been, I could have bitten back my moans, I could have pretended, I could have faked being stoic, and I'd done worse. I've stared far worse challenges in the eyes and passed excellently.But it took just one touch from the enemy, just the mere brush of his tongue against my skin and I was moaning, whithering mess.God! How much I hated every second of it!You mean how much you loved every second of it.Fine! I enjoyed it! He obviously knows what he was doing with his tongue and teeth and lips and that made me lose control. Knowing Axel now, he must be gloating about how I c

LISANo fucking way!No fucking way! I couldn't possibly get paired with Axel for a six weeks assignment. I hated him, thoroughly, I also completely disliked his guts and I was also madly attracted to him. So spending the next six weeks with him, working with him privately, was bound to be a disaster so immediately after the class was over, I ran to meet the rep and the lecturer and ask if I could get a change of partner but it was a no-no.A dead end.So I trailed back to the class with defeat written all over me. The class was already in groups of twos and I could tell that they were all already familiarizing themselves with each other for their projects and here I was, stuck with a partner I'd rather eat grass than work with.I didn't see him where I left him and a quick glance around the classroom revealed that he was leaning against the doorway, observing me with those dark hooded eyes of his. I marched up to him."So what now? Has the almighty Lisa Volkov kicked me out of h

LISAFor a while, I was glued to the ground in shock. My hands lay limply by my sides as Axel started kissing the hell out of me.His kiss was ravenous, like that of a starving, dying man that has been out of breath for so long and I was all the air he needed to breathe, to come to life again. His tongue plundered my mouth, forced my lips apart, and forced its way into my mouth, electrifying my entire body and making it come alive in places I never knew I could.I sighed into his mouth at the pleasure his skillful tongue was evoking in my body and that single moan jolted my senses into action.God! I was allowing Axel Ivanov to kiss me.I regained control of my limbs and I immediately raised my hands to push him off me but my attempts were feeble against his strength, it was like a 2-year-old fighting against Dwayne Johnson but that didn't stop me from fighting, it didn't stop me from writhing and struggling against his body but I should have known that a writhing female body against

ILLICIT AFFAIRS EPILOGUE
LISA A YEAR LATER Have I just spent the absolute best year of my life? Yes. Best was such an understatement to describe the year I just had. Axel made sure to keep on his promise of being the best thing that has ever happened to me and each day was better than the last. And he also made sure to keep up with the promise of putting babies inside me during our honeymoon because here I was, heavily pregnant and the scan has confirmed that we were expecting twins. Axel has never allowed me to hear the end of it. He was always bragging about his skills and all those yadayada nonsense and that was how he was able to impregnate me during our three months honeymoon. Yeah, we did use three months for our honeymoon and I was sure we were the only couple that had done that. I wanted us to go back after a month but Axel had insisted that we spent three months and in the end, it was all because of me. He wanted me to learn all the things I've mentioned that I wanted to learn while making sure
ILLICIT AFFAIRS FINAL CHAPTER
AXELI still couldn't believe my eyes, just like I couldn't believe everything that had happened for the past 2 hours but one thing was real. Lisa was here by my side, wearing my ring as we walked out of the airport hand in hand and into the car that was already waiting for us.“But how did you do this?” I finally asked, speaking for the first time since I confirmed that she was the one sitting beside me on the plane, “how were you able to make that happen?” I asked as the car drove us to the hotel we booked for our honeymoon. “My brother-in-law helped me,” she sassed, leaning closer to me like she has been doing since we entered the car. It was like she couldn't believe that I was here and she needed to feel my body to confirm that. Not that I was complaining though. I'd gladly allow her to enter my body if that's why she needed it. “Your brother-in-law? Prince?” I asked incredulously suddenly slammed with the idea that Prince somehow knew of where she was all these while but I k
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 110
Lisa's POVMy disappearing act was the most unplanned and spontaneous decision I'd ever made in my life and now I'd realized that it was a poorly thought-out decision, one that only caused the people I loved more pain than the relief I'd expected it to bring them.As much as it literally blew my mind that I'd finally gotten married to the man I wouldn't have dared to dream of while I was growing up, I couldn't stop myself from feeling like a burden and a magnet of unfortunate events for him.It was bothersome that I could easily trace every misfortune that had befallen him back to myself, it was as though I was a catalyst for his misery over and over. It felt as though trouble trailed dangerously close behind me and affected everyone in my life, most especially Axel.I'd broken his heart and betrayed him, stolen a shipment that he'd worked tirelessly to procure, and made being a hostage a mentally challenging chore for him, and now I'd been oblivious to the fact that I was being used a
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 109
AXELSIX MONTHS LATERMy entire life had been turned upside down ever since Lisa disappeared from the hospital, it hurt like hell that the moment I’d gotten her back, I’d lost her without single trace. I’d been wild the day she disappeared, I was fucking angry at everyone and I raided the hospital angrily.I spat threats out and shook the very foundations of the entire hospital because I needed at least a single clue as to how Lisa had disappeared. But no single person had any reasonable information to offer me and my heart had sunk with fear, what if I’d lost her forever?I regretted having gone for the meeting that day and leaving her unattended, the two days when I didn't step out of the hospital she’d been perfectly safe and then the second I left, she was suddenly lost to the fucking wind? I blamed myself and feared what would become of me if I never found her.Every day for the last six months had been a recurring nightmare, I was living in a world where Lisa wasn't by my side an
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 108
Axel's POVEverything felt like a blur in the past two days, time seemed to be at a standstill and nothing made sense to me asides from updates on Lisa's fragile and critical health. I'd been seated for hours in the private waiting lodge of the secluded recovery room I paid for to ensure she was being catered to in the best conditions.It felt like no time had passed yet time had dragged aimlessly for the last forty-eight hours, I was always on edge whenever the doctor approached me with news, I didn't know how I'd react if I lost her— I'd lose my damn mind, that's for sure.In over 10 hours, the last news I'd gotten about Lisa was that she was still unconscious and her vitals were unstable. Since then, I'd shuffled between pacing up and down, running my hands through my hair in frustration, feeling like my heart would burst from the scare, and refusing to speak to anyone that dared to tell me I deserved rest— rest? I'll rest when Lisa is awake and stable.Involuntarily my mind drifte
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 107
Lisa’s POVMy heart ripped into a million pieces while I watched what had become of the day that I’d love to keep replaying in memory on a loop, my father has turned my wedding day which had just made me shed tears of unimaginable joy into a freaking shit hole.As he called to me with an arm stretched out, I felt a wave of disgust and hatred for him that was impossible to conceal. I was certain that my facial expressions gave away just how much I detested his guts as he stood before me.My heart kept beating uncontrollably and I could barely form the millions of questions that flew threw my mind, I needed to breathe but I didn't care to catch my breath as much as I terribly needed answers to those questions from my father.I couldn't believe the smug and unapologetic look he has on his face, it was as though he didn't care about hurting me as long as she had his way. I finally mustered the courage to speak but I was certain my voice would sound cracked and snotty because of how much I
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 106
Axel’s POVA serenading symphony of wedding songs that Lisa and I had chosen was being played on the organ and my heart squeezed in its position in my chest because I knew what the start of the music signaled. It had meant that in no time, Lisa would be walked down the aisle by her father toward me.As I looked down the empty aisle I noticed that Volkov’s men has moved from the positions outside the church and had joined my men indoors.They all seemed to be in sync for some reason, but I couldn't possibly guess with the excitement in my veins, still, I looked over at Prince and nodded toward them so that he’d observe them and u could focus on Lisa, and he’d understood what my gesture meant and nodded back at me sharply.I quickly shifted my mind from worrying about what might be irrelevant and focused on my wedding day again.I became tense yet excited at the prospect of looking at her beautiful face for the last time before she became my wife before this congestion. I stood before t
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 105
Axel's POV I was certain that I hadn't stopped smiling while I got dressed for the event of the day, I was thrilled beyond human comprehension. I'd retied my bowtie a couple of times because my mind kept wandering to Lisa like the hopelessly smitten man I was, I could barely focus on myself. I'd decided to wear a dark blue double-breasted suit instead of sticking with the conventional rite of black suits for the groom. I buttoned my jacket and dusted it proudly while I checked myself out in the mirror, Lisa was lucky to be getting married to an absolute snack, I laughed as the silly thought crossed my mind. It hit me again that very moment, I was truly getting married to the woman that made love feel so good I was certain we'd cheated the laws of the universe. I'd never thought I would be so certain that someone was made for me, my soulmate, and my entire world. Just then, a hand landed on my back and rubbed it aggressively and shook me out of the thoughts I'd immersed my mind in.
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 104
LISAIf anyone had told me that my love would become an ethereal dream after being a complete nightmare a month ago, I'd have spat bitterly in their face. But yet, here I was, living the life I wouldn't have dared to dream of after all the unfortunate events I'd been through.My nerves could barely contain my excitement and my heart was an endless leap for joy because I was about to get through the day I'd fantasized about a million times over the past month. I was beyond elated and I couldn't hide it, I didn't want to anyways, it could easily pass as the best day of my life.I was getting married to the man of my dreams, the man that surpassed my dreams and made life a living fantasy. It was I and Axel's wedding day, finally! I'd already said I do in my head several times but the thought of saying it as a vow before a church intrigued me greatly."Girllll! I can't fucking believe your luck with love, teach me a thing or two please?" Tana's excited voice broke through my thoughts and
