023. Their lips collided in a passionate crash, sending shivers down her spine. Axel's kiss was intense, all-consuming, and utterly intoxicating. His tongue teased hers, igniting a fire that spread through her veins like wildfire. As he deepened the kiss, Amber's thoughts dissolved into chaos. Her heart pounded, her senses reeled, and her body melted into his. She was lost in the storm of sensations, unable to escape the torrent of desire he unleashed. Axel's grip on her wrists tightened, his fingers intertwining with hers as he explored the depths of her mouth. The world around them dissolved, leaving only the thrum of their racing hearts and the sweet, sweet torture of their kiss. As Axel's lips ravished hers, Amber's knees weakened, her body swaying into his. His hold on her wrists anchored her, keeping her upright. Axel's kiss intensified, his tongue dancing with hers in perfect harmony. Amber's senses blurred, her mind foggy with desire. Suddenly, Axel broke away, gasp
024. “Where are you going dressed like that?” Axel asked the minute Amber stepped into the living room, dressed in the black mini dress Tyler had picked out for her. After what happened between them, they hadn’t spoken to each other even after Amber returned from the shopping mall. She refused to eat lunch, claiming Tyler had already treated her to lunch. Axel knew she was trying to avoid him and he was trying to patch things up with her but she wouldn’t give him the chance to. Amber hung her handbag on her shoulder. “I’m going for Bryan’s birthday party.” Axel’s eyes narrowed. He scanned the dress from the top to the bottom. The gown didn’t do any justice to hiding her curves. If anything, it only brought out the beauty of her body, and Axel hated the fact that it would leave other guys staring at her especially that Tyler guy, whom he suspected to be interested in Amber. “It’s a birthday party, Amber, not a club.” he replied and Amber rolled her eyes. “What difference d
025. Axel quickly pulled away from the kiss and placed his hand on her shoulders. “Cat eyes, you’re not yourself.” Amber straddled him, her eyes heating up with desire. “I’m perfectly fine. Just showing how much I want you, that’s all.” she reached to kiss him again, but he placed his index finger on her lips. It was taking every bit of self control in him not to touch her right now. She was affected by the drug and somebody—probably that darn guy called Tyler—put in her drink, and he didn’t want to take advantage of her. His eyes widened when she began moving on his cock. He was getting turned on, and this wasn’t a good time for that. "Amber, stop," Axel protested, his voice hoarse with desire. "You're not thinking straight. This isn't you." But his words fell on deaf ears as Amber continued to grind against him, her eyes burning with a passion he'd never seen before. He tried to push her away, but his body refused to cooperate, his desire overpowering his logic. "Amber,
026. Amber sat in the classroom, her jaw in her palms and embarrassment flooding her cheeks as she recalled everything that happened again. She had no idea she was that bold. “Gosh!” she bit her lower lip as she tried to wrap her head around it all. On one hand, she felt embarrassed cause the fuck? She had made him do things to her, bath her and even tucked her into bed. But on the other hand, she loved it. She loved that he didn’t take advantage of her vulnerability, she loved that he made her feel that way, and she wanted it again, but she couldn’t hide the embarrassment from being the one to straddle him. She had typically avoided him all morning, and whenever their gazes met, there was this mischievous glint in his eyes that made her want to do more. Yet, she couldn’t. She needed to get over this moment first. “Amy!” Jack’s voice jerked her out of her thoughts, and she turned to see Jack and Melissa staring at her worriedly. “Good morning, guys.” she greeted them, moving as
027.Amber gasped when his hand traveled up her thighs right to her underwear. “Do you remember now?” he asked but she shook her head.Axel smirked as he slipped a finger into the slippery, velvet warmth of Amber's core. His finger stroked her, his thumb rubbing her clit in slow, sensual circles. Amber's legs quivered, her body eager for more as she trembled under his touch."You're such a tease," Axel growled, his gaze intense as he watched her squirm against him. "Don't you want to remember how you felt last night, how good it was?"Amber shuddered, biting her lip to stifle a moan. "I-I can't remember," she lied, her voice a breathy whisper.Axel's grin widened, his finger sliding deeper inside her. "Maybe this will help," he purred, his voice a low, tantalizing promise.Amber's eyes fluttered shut, her body clenching around his finger as he began to move with more urgency. "Axel, please," she whimpered, her voice a pleading whisper.Axel chuckled, his thumb pressing against her cli
028.“Girl, you’ve been all smiles since you returned from the classroom. Did Bryan tell you anything?” Melissa whispered as they sat down in the library, going through their math textbooks for the next class.Amber bit down on her lower lip, remembering the insane moment she had with Axel a few minutes ago. If she hadn’t gotten a call from Melissa who asked her to run down to the library —not like she would have listened anyway — and if Axel hadn’t been summoned by the coach, she was certain Axel would have fucked her on the desk like he said.Just the thought of it sent tingling sensations into her stomach, and she was desperate to know what he would do to her next. Melissa watched her friend swoon with a dreamy smile plastered on her lips and raised an eyebrow. She flicked Amber’s forehead, bringing her back to reality.Amber glared at her. “Hey! What gives?” she frowned.“What is the problem with you? You’re definitely swooning, so tell me, what’s going on?” Melissa asked.Amber
29.“And this… here!” Amber dust off her hands with a smile as she placed the last book she had on the table. She looked around and smiled. Her room was in perfect order. Remembering snacks, she rushed downstairs to the fridge and picked out some biscuits and orange juice before heading back to her room.She took a seat on one of the chairs there and opened her math textbook, put a lollipop in her mouth as she flipped through the pages, waiting for Axel to come tutor her.He had returned from school and asked to shower first before they get on with it, and she was more than excited to see what he had in store. She thought she would escape math because she was a mass communication student, but she had no idea it would be given to them as one of their elective courses — she knew Math, but she hated it.Amber heard his door close and adjusted in her seat as she waited for him. When she didn’t hear a knock on her door, she raised a brow and stood to her feet.She opened the door, shocked
030.Amber took a seat on the bed, her face in her palms. Memories of their kiss flashed in her head again and she groaned, throwing one of her pillows across the room. Amber knew she was overreacting — Candice was his girlfriend and it was actually normal for her and Axel to kiss each other, but she couldn’t bring herself to accept it.Amber knew she shouldn’t lay claim on him just because she and Axel had one or two steamy moments together but still…"Get a grip, Amber," she muttered under her breath. "You're being ridiculous. So what if Axel and Candice kissed? It's not like you have any right to be jealous."But even as she tried to convince herself, she couldn't shake the feeling of hurt and betrayal that was creeping up on her. She thought she had something special with Axel, something real. But maybe she had just been fooling herself all along.Or was she?She grabbed another pillow and buried her face in it, letting out a muffled scream. Even though Axel had broken up with Ca
120.Amber blinked. She couldn’t believe Cole would say such a thing to her. How on earth was she selfish? She was doing this for his own good. It was hurting to see her genius brother being fooled by a wolf in sheep’s clothing. But now because she cared, Cole had to raise his voice on her for the first time. It broke her heart so much that her brother didn’t trust her enough to believe her. “We’ve never had a fight before, Cole,” Amber said, her eyes turning glassy as she looked up at her brother. “Are you going to allow your so-called girlfriend come between us? I’m your sister. I would never hurt you or put myself first before you.”“Stop making this about you, Amber,” Cole sighed, feeling conflicted. “When you and Axel got together, I wasn’t against it. Even when you two kept it away from me, I didn’t get mad.”“I and Axel are different!” Amber snapped. “And the reason you approved of the relationship was because you trusted Axel. You knew he was a good person. I don’t trust Jan
119.“Axel, I need your help with talking to Cole,” Amber said as they headed to the parking lot together.Axel stopped in his tracks, turning to face with a confused expression on his face. “Why? What happened?” he asked.Amber stopped walking as well, holding her books to her chest as she looked at Axel. “Because,” she paused, sucking on a long breath. “Janice doesn’t love him. She is lying to him and using him.”Axel blinked. “What?” he asked.Amber nodded, the annoyance she tried so hard to keep in coming back. “Today, Cole asked me to get him food from the cafeteria. On my way to deliver the food to him, I passed by a classroom where I overheard Janice speaking with her friend. She mentioned that once she gets what she wants from Cole, she’d dump him. At first, I thought it was about his grades, but when I confronted, and she was so mean to me, I realized there was something more, but I couldn’t find out what.”Axel stared at Amber for a while. “Are you sure about this?” he asked
118.“Spill what exactly?” Amber asked, folding her arms with a frown on her face.Janice scoffed. “Don’t try to act smart with me, baby girl. I know you overheard me and my friend talking. So tell me, what did you hear?” Amber snickered. “Is your conscience pricking you or are you scared I’m gonna tell my brother what you’re up to? Are you scared I’ll tell him that you are a liar, a deceiver and a bitchy person?” she asked and Janice clenched her fists.Janice watched Amber for a while, but then she realized something. There was no way Cole would believe Amber anyway. She knew how much Cole loved her, and Amber telling him would only make him feel Amber was selfish and unreadable. A smith found its way to her lips as she chuckled. “There’s nothing that’s gonna make Cole believe you anyway,” she said and Amber raised a brow.Janice began pacing the room, a victorious smile plastered on her face. “Need I remind you that you are dating Cole’s best friend,” she said?“So?”“And Cole did
117.Amber huffed and began walking away. “Amber!” Amber stopped in her tracks, her fists clenched. She turned with a frown on her face, annoyance coloring her features as she stared at Janice. Janice’s eyes darted to the bag in Amber’s hand and instantly knew it was the food she had asked Cole to get her. “Hey, are you going to meet Cole?” she asked, beaming at Amber who didn’t return a smile of her own. “Why are you asking? Do you want to use him for something else?” Amber asked, trying to keep the accusation out of her voice, but it wasn’t working.She was literally boiling with rage, and it annoyed her to the core that Janice was acting all innocent in front of her when she just talked down on her brother a few minutes ago. Don’t people have shame these days?Janice raised an eyebrow. “What are you talking about?” she asked, wondering if Amber had overheard her conversation with her friend. She forced a smile and held Amber’s arm. “Don’t be too cocky, Amy. I know you’re mad th

Bianca paced to and forth in the living room as she waited for her father's arrival. She had been waiting to tell him about what Aiden said and also make sure he explained things to her, but he hadn't been around.He had told her he was coming home today and she had been anxiously waiting. She heard the sound of the door and quickly rushed to get it.“Dad, welcome.” she greeted him and he nodded.He walked into the house and took a seat. She took a seat facing him, dabbing her fingers together as she stared at him.“I want to hear good news, Bianca. Were you able to secure the deal with Aiden?” he asked curtly.Bianca's face fell, and she shook her head. “No, Dad. He refused to work with us.” she answered with a frustrated sigh.Mr. Sullivan's expression turned dark. “What did he say?”Bianca took a deep breath before recounting her conversation with Aiden. Mr. Sullivan's face grew angrier with each passing moment.“When I asked him why, he said it was because of your business practic
“Apologize to her now, Mia. I will not repeat myself again!”Aiden's voice was firm and commanding, leaving no room for argument. Mia's eyes flashed with anger, but she knew better than to cross Aiden when he was in this mood. She took a deep breath and turned to Samantha.“I apologize,” she said stiffly, her words dripping with insincerity.“Say it like you mean it, Mia.” Aiden ordered and Mia sighed, lowering her head.“I'm sorry, Samantha. I shouldn't have said all those words. Please forgive me.” she sounded sincere this time around, but her heart meant something entirely different.Samantha looked at her, her expression unreadable. “It's fine,” she said curtly, her voice barely above a whisper.Aiden's eyes narrowed at Mia. “I mean it, Mia. No more of this. Samantha is going to be my wife, and I won't have you disrespecting her like this.”Mia's eyes widened in shock, but she knew better than to push Aiden further. She nodded, her face pale.“I understand,” she said, her voice ba
112. “Jack, you’re only making yourself feel worse by watching this video.” Gideon said, his expression a mixture of annoyance and worry. Jack had spent all evening in the dorm, his gaze fixed on the video the students took of Amber and Axel kissing in the cafeteria. He had been going through his social media feed when it popped up and since then, he couldn’t get his eyes off it, no matter how hurtful it was. Gideon, who had been watching him was only getting pissed with each passing moment that Jack stared at his phone. “Bro, you said you were over it and would try to be happy for her!” he snapped. “It’s not that easy!” Jack snapped back. “I’ve been trying to, okay? But it’s not fucking easy to watch the woman I love kiss another man—” “That she loves,” Gideon interjected, his gaze fixed on Jack’s angry face. “She loves Axel, Jack. And as her friend, you should look out for her. I thought we’ve been over this. If you can’t handle it, give her a little space until you know you ar
