Flashback
Five Years Ago…
“I’m beginning to doubt whether I’m dating you or Sierra, too,” Axton remarked, watching Sierra walk toward the restroom while Callie sat across from him. “Why does she always have to tag along every time we go on a date?” He chuckled softly, amused by the furious expression on Callie’s face as she ate her ice cream.
Today, they were on a date like any ordinary couple. It had been almost six months since their first meeting on the night Callie spilled beer on his shirt, and they officially started dating three months ago. It was a pleasant beginning to their relationship, and Axton had always enjoyed it.
“I’ve told you, I’ll never be apart from Sierra. I knew her long before I met you, and nothing is more important to me than her. So, you’ll have to accept that,” Callie said confidently.
Axton couldn’t hold back his laughter at her answer.
Anyone dating this woman would have to accept the fact that Callie prioritized Sierra above everything else. She would even cancel their dates if Sierra couldn’t come along, which led Axton to lighten Sierra’s workload whenever they had plans.
“Sometimes, I feel like I don’t know you at all, Callie. You’re so different from the person I met on that dating app two years ago. But no matter what, I’ll still like you.”
“Stop talking about that dating app. I’ve told you people change, and so have I. How long are you going to keep bringing it up?” Callie seemed displeased whenever Axton mentioned how they first met.
Two years ago, Axton had met Callie through a dating app. Her username was ‘CatLovers2410’, while Axton went by ‘X191016’. After exchanging messages for nearly six months without ever meeting—because Axton was studying abroad—they finally got the chance to meet in person. Callie had sent him a photo in advance.
And yes, the photo included her and Sierra, leaving Axton guessing which woman would show up at their meeting place.
He waited for Callie for nearly six hours, but she didn’t show up, nor could he reach her. The CatLovers2410 account went inactive, and since they hadn’t exchanged real names, Axton had no way to find her. To be honest, he felt heartbroken at the time. Even though they’d never met, his connection with CatLovers2410 had been strong, and he might have already fallen for her.
It was a silly story.
A year after that incident, Axton found Callie’s social media account.
And once again, he was shocked to see her posting pictures of herself with Sierra.
He knew Callie owned ‘CatLovers2410’, even though she initially didn’t admit it. Their initials matched, which might have been why Callie chose the username ‘CatLovers2410’.
It took him two years to finally meet the person behind the ‘CatLovers2410’ account. But it was worth the wait and effort because now they were officially dating.
“I’ll never forget the ridiculous fact that you chose the username ‘CatLovers2410’ even though you’re allergic to cats.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’m also allergic to you, yet I’m dating you, aren’t I?”
“Oh, really?” Axton raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t seem allergic to me yesterday when you stayed over at my apartment. Or were you groaning because of an allergic reaction?”
“Axton!” Callie’s eyes widened, and she glanced around in panic. “Don’t you dare bring that up here! Sierra doesn’t know I stayed at your apartment!”
Axton couldn’t hold back his laughter. He patted Callie’s head and ruffled her hair playfully. “Why didn’t you bring Sierra to sleep over at my apartment yesterday? Don’t we have a big enough bed for the three of us?” He leaned in to whisper in her ear, watching her face turn crimson with embarrassment. “Or were you afraid she’d see what we did?”
“Axton!” Callie pushed him away with both hands, her face as red as a crab.
Axton leaned down to kiss the leftover ice cream on the corner of Callie’s lips, and of course, she slapped his arm hard.
“That hurts, Callie!” he exclaimed, feigning pain.
Callie raised her hand threateningly as if she’d hit him again but didn’t. “Stop saying nonsense, or I’ll hit you again!” she warned.
Axton laughed. “I didn’t say anything. I just kissed you.”
“That’s worse!”
“So, you don’t like being kissed?” Axton raised an eyebrow. “How could you not, when yesterday you said you didn’t want me to stop kissing your stomach and—”
“Axton!”
Axton laughed even harder but didn’t finish his sentence.
“Sierra’s coming back,” Callie warned, looking at him with a glare. “Don’t you dare say anything crazy about what we did at your apartment, or I’ll stab you with my ice cream spoon!”
Axton squinted at her. “How about we make a deal?”
Callie looked panicked as Sierra drew closer.
Oh, Axton loved that panicked expression.
“What deal?”
“You stay at my apartment again tonight, and I’ll stop talking about the crazy things we did.”
“What?” Callie turned her head toward Sierra, who was getting closer.
“Come on, let’s do those crazy things, and I’ll stop saying crazy things in front of you.”
As Sierra approached, Axton slipped his hand under Callie’s short skirt, touching her thigh and gently stroking it—feeling her skin shiver under his touch.
“Come on, Callie. Time’s almost up.”
“Fine!” Callie turned her head, and Axton was sure he saw undeniable desire in her eyes. “Let’s do those crazy things at your apartment,” she said just before Sierra returned and sat down across from them.
***
Axton might have tightened his embrace and slept longer if he hadn’t remembered who was lying in his arms.
Sierra…
The person whose waist he held under the blanket while they were both naked was Sierra. And Axton remembered exactly what had led them here.
After what they had done the previous night, Axton woke her at 4 a.m., and they did it again. He might have lost his mind when he decided to wake Sierra, unable to control his desire as he watched her sleep in his arms.
Sierra was fully aware of what they were doing, but she didn’t offer any resistance. Afterward, they fell asleep again from sheer exhaustion and... Sierra hadn’t cleaned herself up, nor had Axton.
He wasn’t sure what time it was now, but it seemed he had overslept, even though he couldn’t afford to miss an important meeting this morning.
Axton rolled over and sat at the edge of the bed. His arm tingled, numb from Sierra using it as a pillow, and it was likely she wasn’t aware of what she had done due to how sleepy she was.
Of course, Sierra woke up from his movement, and Axton gave her time to process what was happening.
She pulled the blanket up to cover herself while her hand searched for her phone. Her eyes widened when she saw it was already close to 7 a.m.
Axton observed all of this in silence as if he couldn’t find the right words to say on this shocking morning.
“It’s already late. We have to meet Mr. Smith at 9, right?” Axton turned and spoke to Sierra, who was sitting with her head lowered at the edge of the bed.
A wave of guilt hit Axton’s mind immediately, but he knew he could do nothing to change what had already happened.
“Don’t go out like that,” Sierra clutched the blanket when she saw Axton heading toward the door, wearing only pants and forgetting his shirt.
Axton stopped in his tracks, fully understanding what Sierra meant. “There’s an important project we have to attend at 9, isn’t there? We’ll be late if I don’t shower and leave this room immediately.”
Sierra bit her lower lip, a gesture that didn’t escape Axton’s attention as he stood near the door of the room.
“Shower here,” she said, looking up. “Are you sure you want to go back to Callie’s room like this?”
Axton closed his eyes for a moment as though considering what she had just said. Of course, he couldn’t return to Callie’s room in this condition. How could he face his wife reeking of last night’s passion?
“You can use the bathtub. I won’t take long; I just need a quick shower,” she offered. “It’s the only way we can leave quickly after cleaning up this mess.”
Sierra squeezed the edge of the blanket as she saw the evidence of the mess she was referring to. Axton also noticed what she was looking at, and he immediately sighed when he realized her infatuation.
Axton didn't answer, but he reached out to Sierra and helped her walk because he knew that she often had trouble walking after they had sex. His mind told him that he didn't need to do that, but his conscience couldn't stop him.
“I won't see you,” he said as he turned on the shower for her.
Sierra nodded her head, and Axton didn't wait for any response as he walked over to the glass-bordered bathtub with the shower.
He sighed as he remembered their last time in Callie's bathroom.
After all that had happened between them, was it really possible for them to take a quick shower this time?
Axton could feel the madness in his mind as he watched the silhouette of Sierra's body in the shower. He saw how she raised her hands when washing her hair or applying soap all over her body.
The image of how his hands could touch her entire body freely last night made Axton groan in his mind. He remembered how his fingers pinched the tops of her breasts or pushed inside her. He remembered touching her clit or squeezing her ass.
He remembered when Sierra moaned beneath him, or he growled on top of her. He remembered how Sierra's fingers gripped his back and stabbed him with them.
“Ah,” Axton closed his eyes and growled softly as his hand began to move over his cock—seeking his own satisfaction while his mind drifted as he saw the silhouette of Sierra's body before him.
There was nothing he could do but touch his own body. He doesn't understand why he really can't help himself, but he might have lost his mind at the thought of Sierra's body on top of his like they did last time in the shower.
The shower faucet was being stopped, and he knew that Sierra would probably pass by and see what he was doing when she walked out of the bathroom. However, his passion was too crazy, and he couldn't stop his own hand from moving.
Sierra's footsteps filled his ears, but that only made his passion even crazier.
“Come out and ignore me, Sierra. You already know everything, so there's no point in hiding anything.”
He was sure Sierra had already seen him. Her eyes were still fixed on him, but Axton couldn't stop himself.
Sierra was only standing a few steps away from him and was wearing a towel that only partially covered her thighs. If she looked down, Axton was sure that he would be able to see her other curves.
“Axton,”
“I'm good.” Axton looked up and watched Sierra for a moment, “You can leave me, and I'll be out in a minute.”
Sierra was still standing in front of him, and it made Axton feel even crazier. He was literally burning with passion while part of his body was still submerged in the cold water. He deliberately chose cold water, but it still didn't seem to help him.
Sierra drops her towel, and that really gets Axton crazy.
Her footsteps carried her body into the bathtub, and she joined him. He was sure he could see Sierra's eyes filled with sadness, but not enough to mask her arousal.
“I told you that you can always use me,” she leaned down right between Axton's thighs, and he had to hold his breath at that.
“Sierra,” he sighed, and he clenched his hands together in the foamy water, trying his hardest not to reach out and touch Sierra in every place he wanted to touch her. “You don't have to do this. I can finish it myself since I've been used to doing it since Callie got sick.”
“You can always ask me for help now. You are paying me to do all this, and I will do it until I get pregnant and give Callie a child.” Sierra lowered her head and brought all her hair to the right side of her neck before she reached out and grabbed his cock—replacing his hand with hers, which felt so warm and right as it gripped it. She brought her mouth close and sucked on it hesitantly—bringing all the pleasure her lips could offer.
Axton threw his head back, and he moaned with his hands, taking Sierra's head deeper and deeper.
The touch of Sierra's tongue paralyzed all his nerves and made him lose his mind. The pleasure she was offering really made Axton unable to keep from moaning. His hand reached out and slipped two fingers to touch her clitoris, rubbing it slowly in the water and starting to move in quickly.
Sierra moaned, and it further immersed Axton in pleasure.
“Oh, Axton!” Sierra began to lose her tempo as Axton's fingers moved more and more wildly.
She couldn't keep her mind off it, so she kept her lips away from Axton's cock, but still tried to use her hands even with the random rhythm.
“I want you,” she stopped her hand and opened her eyes.
Axton looked at her with disbelief but knew that he wanted the same thing. Her lips were already offering him every pleasure he needed, but he knew he could get another if he let Sierra on top of her. He wants to be inside her—pounding her hard and fucking her in the bathtub right now.
“Are you sure?” Axton asked as he guided Sierra to sit on his lap.
Sierra nodded.
Just one consented, and Axton found the direction to sink back inside her.
“OH!” Sierra gripped his arms as Axton slid in and pushed his cock hard. “Harder, Axton.”
“No,” Axton grabbed Sierra's breast and sucked it with his lips, ”I want it slower. I want to feel it longer.”
The sound of Sierra moaning was the only thing that filled the bathroom. Axton couldn't stop himself from thrusting in and pulling Sierra to move on top of him.Her hair was wet again, and the water droplets flowed down her breasts. Axton immediately lowered his head and grabbed her breasts—suckling them with his lips while his hands wrapped around her waist and guided her to move more slowly as his rhythm intensified.Axton wanted to go slower.He wanted to feel it longer.And he knew that it was a crazy feeling.“Axton, please,” Sierra growled and tried to move faster.Axton knew they were running out of time, and he should be going fast, not slowing down and taking longer. However, Axton didn't want this to end quickly.“Axton, ah!” Sierra lifted her head and looked up at him with her blue eyes flashing with passion. Every moan that escaped from her lips completely made Axton lose control.Pushing Sierra fast and hard is the most enjoyable option. However, savoring everything slowl
"Can you stay home today?" Callie murmured, cocooned in her blanket, as Axton emerged from the bathroom. "I'm really sorry, Callie," Axton replied while fixing his hair in the vanity mirror. "I have to go to work. There's an important project meeting. But I'll try to come home earlier if you want me to." He caught her reflection in the mirror—a soft figure under layers of fabric, her face tinged with weariness. Axton’s heart ached, but this morning was already chaotic, and staying home would only deepen the madness swirling in his mind. "You said you'd explain everything to me. Did you forget?" Axton froze mid-motion, then walked over to her. He kissed her forehead gently and brushed away the sweat on her brow. "Trust me, Callie. What you’re imagining isn’t as bad as it seems." Her hesitant gaze made his chest tighten. For a moment, even Axton doubted his own words. Was it true that the situation wasn’t as terrible as Callie believed? If so, how did he end up spending an entire n
Sierra might truly have to admit that she had lost her mind. Perhaps she could say that she had lost control of her own thoughts and allowed herself to go into madness.However, thankfully, there was still one person who could keep his composure—the same person who had pushed her into the car and shocked her with a kiss.She didn’t know why Axton had kissed her in the car, but she was grateful he managed to stop all the chaos. Axton drove his car away from the house, and she hoped no one had seen her in that car—at least not in such a disheveled state, with her skirt pushed up to her stomach because Axton had messed everything up with his hands and fingers.Axton should have stopped the car somewhere farther from the house so they could continue what he had started. But Sierra was relieved when her phone rang, interrupting them before they could do anything more reckless."Yes, Damian. We’re on our way to the project site. Don’t worry." She turned her head, still panting, as Axton spe
"Are you okay?" Axton glanced at Sierra briefly while keeping his focus on navigating the busy city streets at a dangerously high speed.Sierra observed everything Axton had done—from carrying her out of the construction site without hesitation, leaving Mr. Smith behind, to recklessly speeding through traffic.What exactly is this man trying to do?“Hold on, we’ll be at the hospital soon.”Receiving no response from Sierra, Axton spoke again, his voice filled with concern.“Axton,” Sierra called out softly.“Should I call Callie?” Axton asked quickly, stealing another glance at her.Sierra shook her head. “No. Why would you do that?”“What?” Axton frowned, clearly puzzled. “Do you want us to head straight to the hospital?”“Nope. I don’t need a hospital.”“You’re injured,” Axton countered, throwing her a skeptical look before refocusing on the road. “Your leg is hurt, and you need medical attention.”“Not at all. I don’t need a hospital because my leg is fine.”“And how would you know
Flashback 5 Years Ago…"Her name is Callie, Mom. She’s my girlfriend."Axton could feel Callie's nervousness as she clung to his hand that bright morning. His mother had unexpectedly shown up at his apartment and found Callie in his room.This wasn’t how Axton had planned to introduce Callie to his mother. Over the past month, he had considered several better ways—perhaps inviting Callie to a family dinner seemed like the most sensible option. But before he could put his plan into action, his mother had beaten him to it by showing up unannounced. There was no avoiding it now—he had to introduce Callie."Mrs. Scott, it’s nice to meet you." Callie extended her hand, wearing a sweet smile despite her obvious discomfort. Axton knew he'd have to spend the rest of the day making up for the awkward situation he'd put her in."Since when do you have a girlfriend, Axton?" His mother raised an eyebrow, her tone skeptical.Axton noticed Callie withdrawing her hand hesitantly.This wasn’t going w
“Are you sure you can sleep alone in your room, Sierra?” Callie asked while hugging Sierra from the side.Axton watched them and sat on the sofa near the window—allowing Callie to lie down with Sierra in her bed after dinner.Sierra’s leg had been swollen a few hours ago, but now it was better. She even started walking, although she still needed some help. Axton called the doctor because Sierra didn’t want to go to the hospital, and the doctor prescribed some medicine to her.“I’m sure,” Sierra nodded. “I’m just worried about needing to go to the bathroom at night, but fortunately, my toilet is working now, so I don’t need to walk too far.”“I think I’ll sleep here tonight to keep you company. What do you think?” Callie asked.Axton listened to their conversation but had no intention of intervening.“No need, Callie. I know you don’t like sleeping with the lights on, while I like to keep my nightlight on all night.”Callie rolled her eyes. “Every time we sleep together, you turn off y
Flashback 4 Years Ago…Sierra almost dropped her face when she saw a ring in the farthest corner—far from the attention of anyone looking because everyone would be focused on the dozens of large diamond rings placed in the center.“Do you think Callie will like this?” Axton asked, pointing to a solitaire ring with a large, sparkling gem.Exactly. Everyone would immediately notice that ring.“It looks good,” Sierra said to Axton—her boss, who was also Callie’s boyfriend and best friend.Among all the plot twists in her life, Sierra didn’t understand why Callie had to date a man who was her boss. But of course, it wasn’t a big deal because Sierra and Axton could still work professionally when they were in the office. She just hoped that the couple would never break up, or she would feel awkward with both of them. And it seemed her wish came true because a year after they started dating, Axton was now taking her to buy a ring for Callie since he planned to propose.“Come on, Sierra. You
"Do you know how much I hate coming to this office?" Callie murmured softly as she walked alongside Sierra.Sierra swore that nearly everyone they passed turned their heads twice upon realizing that Axton accompanied Callie… and herself today. Who knew what other rumors Sierra would hear later? She couldn’t wait to find out."This is your husband's office. You know that, right?" Sierra whispered back while continuing to walk with Callie holding onto her arm. Rather than walking with her husband, Callie preferred to walk with Sierra, as they had been doing for years."There are so many of his cousins and family members working here. And I don’t like any of them," Callie said, rolling her eyes."You know, I used to think Axton’s mother was mean when I heard your stories. But after meeting her yesterday, I don’t think she’s that bad. She seems to care about you a lot, Callie."Sierra walked slowly because her leg still hurt, and Callie matched her pace without complaining, leaving them s
Sierra had to hold her breath when she realized that Axton was very close to her lips.Her eyes closed when she felt Axton kissing her—pecking her lips roughly and demandingly while his hands were on the back of her neck and holding her head back from breaking their kiss.At first, Sierra tried to stay unaffected, but just as one of Axton's hands landed on her thigh and lifted her skirt, she began to lose control.Axton rubbed her inner thighs and moved closer and closer to her private parts, causing her to let out a moan.She could feel her panties getting wet, and it was a very embarrassing thing for her.Axton slipped an arm around her waist and brought her up onto his lap—making her have to sit right on the evidence of his arousal pressing against her under her panties.“Ah,” Sierra closed her eyes as Axton suckled the tops of her breasts.Her clothes felt tight because Axton didn't take them off properly. He only undid the top 3 buttons and removed her brassiere from her neck.On
Sierra swallowed hard as she looked up and saw Damian sitting on Axton’s desk, frowning.A few seconds later, she glanced down, checking her appearance, relieved she had straightened up her outfit beforehand. She needed to think fast and say something to break their awkwardness.“Oh, hi,” she said with a quick smile, then turned her gaze to Axton, who was seated in his chair. “Thank you for letting me use your bathroom. I’m sorry for interrupting your time, Mr. Scott.”“Of course, Sierra. You’re welcome to use it,” Axton replied smoothly, playing along with her lie, much to Sierra’s relief.“Thank you,” she nodded. “Would you like me to get you some coffee or something else to drink? There are some new beverages in the kitchen. Maybe you’d like something, Mr. Damian?” She alternated her gaze between Axton and Damian. Truthfully, she glanced at Axton for less than a second, keeping her eyes mostly on Damian to avoid making direct eye contact with the former.“No need, Sierra,” Axton an
Sierra moaned when she felt Axton's hand slip through her work skirt and touch the private part of her body that he had touched last night with his fingers. His hands pulled her skirt up to gather at her waist, then slipped down the panties she was wearing so that his fingers could touch it freely.The atmosphere of the office forced her to hold back every moan that was on her lips, but what Axton was doing felt like he was encouraging her to moan loudly.“I want it,” Sierra murmured as she looked up at Axton and wrapped her arms around his neck.Axton knew what she meant, and they were both ready for penetration.Sierra used her hands to rest on Axton's shoulders so that he could push in easily. She had to bite her lips to hold back her moans.“Not so fast, Sierra,” Axton murmured as he grasped her waist—moving her at the tempo he wanted.Sierra throws her head back when Axton uses his lips to suckle the tops of her breasts—sucking on them with his lips and his hot tongue.“Ah! Ahh!”
Sierra closed her eyes as she turned to see Mr. Smith standing there—looking at her and Axton in an entirely inappropriate situation for a boss and his secretary.Sierra pulled her hand away from Axton, who finally let go. She stepped back, creating the proper distance that should always exist between a boss and a secretary."Can I have a copy of today’s meeting documents? I need to review them further," the man asked, without acknowledging the awkwardness of the situation.Sierra wasn’t sure whether to feel relieved or guilty."Of course, Mr. Smith. I’ll send the report to you," Axton replied. "If I may ask, could I send the report directly to you without going through your secretary?"Axton had clearly lost his mind.Sierra cleared her throat, giving Axton a signal to stop whatever he was about to say."Is there a problem, Mr. Scott?""No, none at all," Axton replied, shaking his head.Sierra sighed in relief."It’s just that I noticed your secretary often makes things difficult for
