040.Axel's fingers traced the curve of Amber's waist as his lips moved to the sensitive spot behind her ear. "I'm done fighting myself," he breathed, his voice shaking with desire. "I need you, Amber. I need to feel your body against mine, your skin beneath my fingertips, your breath on my lips."Amber arched her back, pressing her hips against him. "Axel, please," she whimpered, her voice a plea. "Don't stop."Axel groaned, the sound raw, as he claimed her mouth in a searing kiss. He wasn’t going to pull away anymore. He wanted her and he would take, claim and make her his.Axel lifted Amber into his arms, carrying her to his bed with a possessive strength that made her heart pound. He laid her gently on the mattress, his body poised over hers, his hands cupping her face. "Tell me you want this," he whispered, his voice raw with emotion. "Tell me you want me."Amber's body trembled with desire. "I want you," she breathed, her voice aching with longing. “I've always wanted you.” she
041.Amber’s eyes fluttered open the next morning, and she exhaled with a smile on her face. Her thoughts drifted to what had happened between her and Axel last night and her smile widened.She turned to face him only to find him staring at her with his chin resting on his palm and his elbow on the bed. “Good morning, pretty.” he smirked.“Good morning.” Amber replied, her eyes fixed on him.For a moment, no one said anything else to each other. Amber bit down on her lower lip, and blinked at him. She wondered what was going on in his mind. “Do you regret it?” she asked.He wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her flush against his chest. “Not one bit,” he gave her lips a light peck.Amber smiled and wrapped her hands around his neck. “I want to stay in your arms all through today. I want you to kiss me and ravish me all over again, but I have classes this morning, need to submit my project to Professor Jenna and Cole will be home soon.”Axel chuckled, brushing a loose strand
042.Next day,Amber stood, watching as Axel helped Cole bring his suitcase out of the car booth. Cole walked to where Amber stood and wrapped his arms around her.“It’s just for the semester. I will be back before you know it.”Amber nodded, trying to hold back tears as she hugged Cole tightly. “I'm going to miss you so much,” she whispered, her voice trembling.Cole pulled back and grinned. “It's just a two month trip, Amber. We'll be back before you know it, with tons of stories to share.”Axel chuckled. “And probably a bunch of silly souvenirs.”Amber smiled, feeling a bit better. “Make sure to take lots of pictures.”Cole saluted. “Will do. And don't worry, I'll text you every day.”As they shared one last group hug, Amber felt a pang of sadness. Watching Cole leave on his school trip was still hard, even if it was just for two months.“Take care of yourself, okay?” Axel reminded Cole, as he climbed into the bus.“I will, man. Take care of Amber for me,” Cole replied, his eyes lo
043."Fuck, you're so perfect," Axel groaned as he positioned his throbbing dick against her entrance. Amber arched her back, her body begging for him to enter her, to claim her in a way no one else ever had."Oh god," she moaned as Axel slowly pushed his length inside her, filling her up in a way that felt both foreign and natural. Amber felt her walls stretch to accommodate him, her nails digging into his back as he started to move inside her.Axel's thrusts started slow and sensual, but soon they became more urgent and powerful. Amber could feel his strong hands gripping her hips, pulling her into him as he took her in a way that was both primal and intimate.She cried out his name, her head thrown back in ecstasy as he pounded into her, hitting all the right spots. Their bodies moved together in perfect sync, as if they were made for each other."Fuck, you feel so good," Axel panted, his lips claiming her neck in a trail of kisses that made her shiver with pleasure."God, yes, jus
044."Oh, I want to," Axel growled, his lips finding hers in a hungry kiss. He kicked open the bathroom door and stepped into the steamy room, setting Amber down on her feet before turning on the shower.Amber watched as the water cascaded over Axel's sculpted body, the droplets running down his chest and abs, making her mouth water."Get in," Axel commanded, his voice low and husky.Amber stepped into the shower, the hot water instantly soaking her skin and hair as she pressed her body against Axel's.Axel's hands roamed Amber's wet body, cupping her breasts, running his fingertips over her nipples, teasing them to stiffness.Amber moaned, tilting her head back as Axel kissed his way down her neck, his tongue flicking against her skin. She arched her back, pressing her body closer to his, feeling the hardness of his cock against her thigh."I want you again," she breathed, her hands finding his cock, stroking him until he was rock hard.Axel groaned, his head falling back as Amber's
045.A week later...Amber was seated in the school relaxation spot with Melissa and Jack. They had lots of snacks in front of them while they talked and chatted happily."But seriously, Jack," Amber laughed, brushing her hair from her face. "You can't expect me to wear your jersey for the big game tomorrow. What do you want people to say? That we're couples?" Melissa laughed while Jack rubbed the back of his hair nervously. "C'mon, Amy, it's not that big of a deal,""Then let Melissa do it." Amber suggested with a smirk."No!" Melissa declined immediately. "I'm currently trying to win Tyler over and I'm almost there. Wearing Jack's jersey will give him the wrong idea and I don't want anything to screw my chances."Amber rolled her eyes with a yawn. "See?" she turned to face Jack, giving him the I-told-you-so look.Jack pouted immediately. "Amy, please, please, please, you are my best friend. Can you just do this one thing for me? I want to see the jersey on you so I'd know I have a
046."C'mon, Amber, you're just going to leave me alone here?" Axel whined as Amber got dressed for the party.Amber rolled her eyes playfully. "You aren't a baby. I'll just be gone for a few hours. I won't stay too long." she gave him a heart shaped necklace to wear for her.Axel took it with a sigh and after helping her with it, hugged her from the back, his arms wrapped around her. For a moment, Amber wanted to forget about the party and just stay with him, but Melissa needed her and she didn't want to let her bestie down. "I don't want you to leave." he pouted, placing a soft kiss on her neck. The kiss sent a shiver down her spine the shuddered, clearly affected by that little contact.She pushed away from his arms and cupped his face. "I'll be back before you know it." she kissed him but he wrapped his hand around her waist and deepened the kiss, causing her to moan into his mouth.Axel pulled out and brushed a strand of hair from her face. "Do not mess around with any man, Kitt
047.“I’ll be watching you, and if you look even slightly uncomfortable, we’re out of here. Understood?”Melissa nodded, her shoulders relaxing slightly. “I understand. Thank you, Amber.”Tyler, his smile widening, gestured towards the rest of the room. “Now, ladies, let me show you around,” he said, leading them deeper into the house. “There are plenty of rooms where you can let loose, and a number of my…special friends who would be more than happy to give you a tour.”Amber narrowed her eyes, her hands curling into fists as she kept pace with Melissa and Tyler. The house was like a maze of debauchery, each room they passed filled with more hedonistic scenes than the last.As they rounded a corner, Tyler gestured towards a set of stairs. “Now, if you really want to see the good stuff,” he said, his voice dripping with innuendo, “you’ll have to follow me upstairs.”Amber hesitated, her instincts screaming at her to turn and run. But Melissa, her face flushed with excitement, started u
060.When they got out from the plane, a chauffeur was already waiting to drive them to the hotel where they'd stay for the duration of what they came to do. Amber stopped walking and turned to look at Axel. "Uh, you get going. I've already booked a room in one of the hotels close by. See you at the conference." she dragged her luggage from him and made to leave."Halt," he ordered and Amber halted in her tracks. She arched a brow. Did he just command her? And she obeyed like a servant? She turned to look at him and warn him not to order her around but froze when she saw that he was already close to her. Axel scrutinized her with his gaze. "You don't have to worry about booking any hotel, Amber. I already booked one for us."Amber blinked. He did what? There was no way in hell that she was going to stay in the same hotel with him. What if they stayed in the same room? What if he manipulates it and they get to stay in the same hotel room like those CEOs in books whenever they travel
059.Amber stepped out of her apartment with her luggage and met Dan, the private chauffeur already waiting for her. When he saw her, he quickly rushed to take her luggage from her."Good morning, Ms. Smith." he greeted with a warm smile. Amber nodded, giving him a smile of her own. "Good morning, Mr. Dan.""I'd prefer being called Dan, ma'am." he said and Amber nodded."And I'd prefer being called Amber." she smiled at him.Dan simply nodded and opened the door for her. She got into the car and he closed the door before putting her luggage in the car booth. After that, he drove out of the vicinity. As they headed to the airport with the city passing by in a blur, Amber's mind reeled with lots of thoughts. Especially about what happened between her and Jack, and how Axel had taken it upon himself to take care of her. She couldn't help the fluttering she always felt whenever she thought about it, and now he had helped her book a flight to Los Angeles.With a sigh, she rested her head
058.Next Day... CLOUD LIMITED "It's over, Trent," Jack leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk as he rested his jaw on his palms. Now that he thought about what he did, he was sure Amber would never want to see him again. She might not even talk to him ever again.Trent watched him, his expression neutral. He was sick and tired of talking. Everything was already out of hand. If Jack had listened to him, he wouldn't have gone that far. "So... I don't think there's nothing we can do to fix this. You've lost her, man.""Don't tell me that!" Jack yelled, standing to his feet and ruffling his hair as he paced the office. "I have to find a way.""Didn't you just say it was over?" Trent asked, cocking his head to the side to get a close look at Jack. "Man, you went far this time. How could you have done that? That was fucking a sexual harassment. What are you gonna do if Amber decides to take it up? Have you forgotten that she's a reporter? What if she writes an article against you?
057.Axel was done cooking and Amber sat in the dining with him as they faced each other. He put the food into a plate for her and gestured for her to eat some.Amber stared at the food, feeling like she was dreaming. This all felt so surreal. "Come on, eat." Axel admonished her. She looked up at him and he gave her a small smile before gesturing to the food in front of her.Amber took a bite of the food, savoring the rich flavors Axel had skillfully crafted. The taste brought a flood of memories back to her—memories of the simpler times, before everything had become so complicated. She couldn't help but smile, despite the bittersweet nostalgia that tugged at her heartstrings."I...I really missed this," she confessed, her eyes meeting Axel's over the rim of her teacup. "You've always been the best cook. I don't know how you do it."Axel shrugged, a warm, genuine smile spreading across his face. "It's all about passion," he said, leaning back in his chair and sipping his own tea. "Wh
056.When Amber had calmed down, Axel cupped her cheeks. "Are you okay?" he asked and she slowly nodded.He held her hand and made her sit on the couch while he squat beside her, watching her closely. He reached out with his hand and wiped the remaining tears on her face, his heart aching for her.Amber clenched and unclenched her fists. Her mind was racing with lots of questions. Questions like, if Axel hadn't come, would Jack have done more than forcefully kissing her? Would he have forced himself on her? Jack wasn't like such a person. She's known him for years, and even while they were dating, he had not made any attempts of forcing himself on her before. What came over him? Did the breakup trigger him so much?But why would he go too far?Amber sighed, and shook her head. She didn't want to think about it. She was already disappointed and mad as it is. But then, she remembered something. What was Axel doing in her place? She looked down at Axel, who had been staring at her all t
055.Jack blinked at Amber, his expression that of disbelief. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Amber would initiate their breakup. Was she being serious right now? "Amber," he called, his gaze fixed on her. He didn't want to believe this. "I know you are angry that I disrespected you. Everybody makes mistakes and acts in impulse. That's not enough reason for you to break up with me, please."Amber sighed, feeling a pang of guilt. As much as she was hurt for doing this, she needed to stop stringing him along. She needed to stop making him have false hopes when she knew she would never end up with him. "Jack, I'm sorry," she shook her head. "I'm not angry at you, Jack. I just feel so bad for agreeing to date you when I had no feelings for you.""Amber," he held her hand, his expression pleading. "Babe, I didn't mind. And I still don't mind. You will fall for me with time. We just have to keep trying.""No, Jack," Amber pulled her hand away and turned away from him. "We can'
054.Therapy Session...Axel walked into the therapy room with a heavy heart. The last few weeks had been a whirlwind of emotions, and he desperately needed help sorting through them. As he settled into the chair across from the therapist, he couldn’t help but feel a little awkward.The therapist, Dr. Evelyn Clarke, was a middle-aged woman with a warm and inviting smile. She sensed his discomfort immediately and leaned forward, her eyes meeting his with empathy.“Hello, Axel. How are you feeling today?” she asked in a gentle, reassuring tone.Axel sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, a nervous habit he'd developed over the years. "I'm...uh, I'm not doing great, honestly," he admitted. "It's been a really rough few weeks. I don't even know where to start."Dr. Clarke nodded, understanding etched on her features. "Sometimes just starting is the hardest part. But don't worry, we're in no rush. Let's start with whatever feels most pressing for you right now."Axel closed his eyes,
053.A.A ENTERTAINMENT Amber was beaming with smiles as she went through the readers comments on her article. They were so excited and expectant of the day Axel would reveal his identity to them. They couldn't help dying of curiosity as Amber discreetly gave them a hint about the event that was coming up in A.A Entertainment soon.With a sigh, she smiled at herself. "I'm really amazing," she said, going through the rest of the comments. The door to the office opened and Axel walked in. Gina's words about playing hard to get echoed in her mind, and she couldn't help letting out a scoff. She stood to her feet, her eyes squinting as she took him in. He liked quite pale. When she had come to the office, Maverick had informed her that he was at a meeting with the Executives and Shareholders. Why would he come out of there looking pale?Axel smiled and walked to stand in front of her. "Good afternoon, Reporter Amber." he greeted her, that smile still plastered on his face.Amber folded h
052.Next day... GLAM MAGAZINE "Girl, you're on fire. Now the readers are more curious to actually know who Mr. A is. You delivered that interview so perfectly that even I want to know who this man is." Gina said as she and Amber scroll through the readers comments under her article.Amber smiled. How was she going to tell Gina that she'd seen Mr. A before? Amber could remember the gala they attended at King Global, where Jack and Axel met for the first time in years. Gina had seen Axel, but didn't know he was Mr. A."And maybe we see him everyday, but since he hasn't shown his face, we actually don't know." Gina beamed.Amber chuckled. "Yeah, I guess."Gina moved close to Amber and cleared her throat. "When are you taking me to A.A Entertainment? I really really wanna see Mr. A. I know you're the one working there, but you could make me your Assistant for a day. I just want to see his face."Amber turned to face her. "You know we are supposed to keep his face confidential, right?" s
