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
020.KING GLOBALAmber stared at the imposing doors of the luxurious hotel, where the event would be taken place and exhaled. When Ms. June had requested her and Gina handle this event, she knew that woman was prone to throwing her into the den of her past.There was no doubt that she was going to see Mr. King himself today. And there was no doubt, Axel was going to be here today. Jack was going to be here to be here too. She prayed they wouldn’t cross paths. She didn’t want Jack to find out Axel was Mr. A.“Are you coming or not?” Gina, who was excited and pumped up for this, asked, already walking in.Amber exhaled and walked in as well. They registered their names and were led to the front row which were the seats designated for them. Amber wondered how this was possible. This wasn’t her first time attending such event. She was dang sure that someone had pulled strings for them to have the best spots. Only reporters with lots of connections or influential backing get to sit at the
019.Saturday Night… Cinema… 9pm“Are you enjoying the movie?” Jack asked and Amber nodded, but her thoughts were elsewhere. She kept checking her phone at intervals. The deadline was Monday, and she needed Axel to attend to her before then. She had already polished the first draft and sent it to him again, but he hasn’t said anything.Coupled with that was his obsession with making her heart skip beats several times. She couldn’t trust herself around him anymore, and had to stop meeting with him personally. But Axel was a determined person, and it was driving her nuts.She drew a long breath and checked her phone again. There was supposed to be text from Ms. June with feedback by now, but she still got nothing.Jack kept noticing that she was spacing out at intervals. He watched her closely and when the movie was over, Amber turned to face him with a strained smile. “Did you enjoy the movie?” she asked, rubbing her palms together.Jack smiled and nodded. “How about you? You seemed to
018.Amber quickly pushed him away. “What do you think you’re doing?” she asked, folding her arms.Axel smiled at her. “You asked us to talk, didn’t you?” he asked, feigning an innocence that made her want to hit him on the head with a brick.“Do you act like this to every female reporter who comes to your office?” Amber asked, her voice laced with irritation. Had he become a pervert? Why would he hold her like that?Axel’s eyes darkened and closed the space between them. He leaned forward, but Amber leaned back. Axel didn’t stop and leaned in again. Amber tried to lean backwards to escape him, but he wrapped his hand around her waist and used his other hand to support her back. “I do that to only those who come to my office uninvited, while I’m addressing my employees and asking us to talk.” He paused, his eyes locked with hers. “Now, shall we continue our conversation?” he questioned, raising his eyebrows suggestively. “You look a little hot, do you know that?” Axel whispered, sendi
017.Axel kept staring at Candice as she walked to stand in front of him. She made to hug him, but a look from Kevin made her halt.Kevin walked to stand in front of them, smiling. Axel looked at his father, his expression showing he wanted an explanation. Candice rubbed her arms, waiting for Kevin to say something.“Hey, no need for the staring contest, come sit down,” Kevin smiled at Axel.Axel sighed and sat down, crossing his legs. Candice sat down as well and Kevin followed right after. He faced Axel. “Before you ask, no, she isn’t one of the ladies I kept for you. Besides, you already made it clear that no one can replace Amber,”Axel nodded, his gaze fixed on Candice, who looked away instantly. She couldn’t believe how more good-looking he had become:“You know Candice’s father has been friends with us for years. Candice just returned from overseas where she went to study theatre and arts. He pleads that you let her work in your company. I think she wants to go into dance and a
016.The next day, Amber couldn’t concentrate on work as she kept zoning out, her thoughts drifting to what Axel said the previous night.Did he actually mean everything he said? She might not have given him a response then because she was unsure, but now that she thought about it, did he really want her? Did he approach her because he wanted her back and not because of the guilt?Amber shook her head to get rid of the thoughts and stood to her feet. She walked to the water dispenser to get a glass of water, which she took before returning to her seat.“Amber, Ms. June wants you.” Gina tapped Amber’s back.Amber nodded and headed for Ms. June’s office. When she got there, Ms. June gestured for her to take a seat which she did. “The deadline is approaching, Amber. Have you corrected the draft and sent it to Mr. A?” she asked.Amber shook her head. “I’m almost done with the corrections, Ms. June. You know, he made numerous corrections so…” she trailed off and lowered her head.Ms. June
015.“All I care about is how much I want you.” Alan whispered and Amber’s eyes widened.The rest of the world seemed to fade into the background as both locked gazes. Amber was dumbstruck as she stared at Axel. Did she hear what he said or was she hallucinating? What did she miss? Why would he want her when he was the one who ruthlessly left her?That seemed to bring her back to her senses. She broke eye contact and scoffed, looking out the window. “For someone as heartless as you are, you sure have some guts,” she spat, her face scrunched up in disgust. “Keep your want to yourself. I love my boyfriend. I want nothing to do with you anymore, Axel.”Axel smiled. “At least you still know my name,” he said and Amber adjusted in her seat. “I stand on my word, Cat eyes,” he whispered, and she swiftly turned to look at him. “I only lent you to that boyfriend of yours, and I’m going to take you back.”Amber folded her arms and glared at her. “Don’t make me repeat myself. I already said I do
014.GLAM MAGAZINES “Not only did he insist on being interviewed by her, he also invited her to work over dinner. No girl has ever been opportune to have dinner with the likes of Mr. A, and she got it on a platter of gold. What trick did she play this time?” Vera, Laura’s friend spoke, watching Amber in disdain.Amber was already clocking out due to the dinner she had, and they couldn’t help showing how much they loathed her through their eyes.Laura folded her arms, her envious and jealous gaze fixed on Amber, who had no idea they were already boring holes into her back with their glares. “I’m certain she must have done something.”“Of course she has,” Vera huffed. “She is just a termite who eats into other people’s lives. This was supposed to be you, but she stole it.”Laura’s frown deepened.“See you tomorrow, Gina.” Amber picked up her handbag.“Have fun and make sure you eat a lot. Mr. A is rich and can provide whatever you need.” Gina winked.Amber rolled her eyes. “Cut it out.
013.Amber rubbed her jaw, her eyes fixed on the red lettered “Rejected” on the draft she submitted. She wondered what could have made Axel reject her draft. She checked to see if he stayed any reasons, but there were none.“Gosh, what the heck!” she facepalmed.Gina moved closer and stared at Amber’s laptop screen. Her eyes widened. “What? He rejected your draft?” she whispered.Amber nodded with a sigh. “And he didn’t state any reasons or modifications to be made.”Gina raised an eyebrow. “That’s not right. He should highlight where you got it wrong. Besides, no one has ever rejected your drafts before. This is a first.”Amber frowned and took her phone. “I’m going to call his assistant,” she dialed Maverick’s number and he answered immediately. “Good day, Mr. Maverick, I got Mr. A’s response on my draft. It was rejected, and no reasons were stated. Would you mind helping me notify him?” she asked.There was silence from the other end before Maverick spoke up again. “Mr. A would lik
012.“The interview…” Amber trailed off and forced a smile. “It went well.”Jack watched her closely. He knew Amber too well. As much as she didn’t like to boast or brag about her efforts, there was a certain way her face always lit up whenever he asked about her successful interviews. This time around, she looked conflicted, and it made him wonder what must have happened.“Hey,” he called softly. “Didn’t it go well? I mean, you’ve been preparing for months and thankfully, your outline got picked. I was expecting you to at least tell me how the interview went.”Amber sighed and licked her bottom lip. “Well…” she cleared her throat and suddenly beamed. “It went well!!!” she exclaimed, causing Jack to laugh heartily.“Gosh, you almost got me there,” he took a deep breath of relief.Amber only chuckled and shook her head, but deep down, she knew it wasn’t over. She couldn’t hide the fact that Mr. A was Axel for long. Very soon, Axel might do a face reveal and Jack would find out. Why not
