The Sweetest Temptation 35| Zayn?
Reese was in the living room, her legs criss crossed on the couch, and her hands were pressing a throw pillow to her chest. Her eyes were glued to the television, but her mind was far away, reminiscing about what happened between her and Axel in his office. She enjoyed every bit of the pleasure he administered to her, and she wanted more. Just the thought of it was making her wet all over again, and she could feel her femininity twitching. Fuck! She wanted his hands inside her all the time, and she couldn’t wait to feel every inch of his manhood inside her. He was the only one who could make her body come alive with want, but it was just so unfortunate that it had to be him. Who even signs a contract to be in a sexual relationship? It could only be his arrogant ass, she thought. She knows she shouldn’t have allowed him to touch her after proposing such an insulting plan to her, but she couldn't help it; she couldn’t resist him. But boy, does she regret it? No! Would she allow h
The Sweetest Temptation 36| You—must—go.
Reese wasn’t wrong when she thought she heard Zayn’s voice before she drifted into deep sleep. She was awake now, and she could hear his baritone voice inside the living room, clear and loud. Her gaze darted to the window, and she realized that the sky outside was dark—indicating that it was night already. She thought she was just going to take a short nap, but it turned out that she had slept for hours. Wondering what Zayn was still doing in their house after hours, she dragged herself out of the bed and made her way to the living room as she yawned repeatedly. "The heiress is up." Zayn beamed as she ventured inside the living room. She opened her mouth to talk, but her words died on her lips when she yawned again. "Hey! Don’t swallow us." Zayn teased, chuckling softly. Rolling her eyes, she directed her gaze at Harry, who was sitting beside Lucy on the couch. "Good evening, Harry." She greeted, as she approached them.Zayn feigned a frown. "Aren’t you going to greet me?"Re
The Sweetest Temptation 37| Introvert, extrovert.
The music was loud, and Reese was seated by the bar counter, sipping from a glass of sparkling water as she watched Lucy dance on the dance floor with Harry. Zayn was seated next to Reese. When they got to the club, he proposed to pay for a private booth, but Lucy objected. She preferred dancing in the midst of strangers because she thought that was the fun of going to a club. "Why aren’t you dancing?" Zayn asked Reese. She darted her gaze at him. "Because I was brought here against my will." She took a sip of her sparkling water. "And besides, I am not a club person.""My neither." He said. "Then why were you in support of us coming here?" She asked, as she darted her gaze back to Lucy. "Well, I didn’t know that we were going to stay here." He glanced around. "I don’t like staying in the middle of a crowd while I am in a club. I prefer staying in a private booth."Reese nodded her head in response before changing the subject. "How’d you meet Harry?" She asked and flicked her gaz
The Sweetest Temptation 38| Disappointment.
Axel went to the club with his friends—Luke and Ethan—but he wasn’t feeling the club vibe anymore, so he decided to go home. On his way out, he subconsciously flicked his gaze to the side, and his eyes caught Reese, sitting with the guy who claimed to be her fiancé by the bar, and a strange feeling suddenly crawled up his chest—jealousy. Although she told him that he wasn’t her fiancé, but she didn’t tell him who he was. Whoever he was, he didn’t want to see her with him. She belonged to him and him alone. Before he could stop himself, he was already taking long strides towards them."What are you doing here?" He asked, rage burning beneath his eyes. "What are you doing to her?" She countered. "I came clubbing with my friends," he retorted."Well…” she opened her arms out in demonstration. "I came clubbing too."He darted his gaze at Zayn. "With him?"Nodding her head, she replied, "Do you have a problem with that?"He blew out a sharp breath. "Let’s go outside and talk." She ad
The Sweetest Temptation 39| Not sober.
The moment they were outside the club, Reese stopped in her track and turned to look at Axel, who was walking behind her. "What did you want to tell me?" She asked. Axel’s gaze went round. "Let’s go to a more private place. There are a lot of people here."Reese raised her brow. "Where should we go to?""Follow me," He said, and he started walking. Reese hesitated. She didn’t know where he was taking her, and she couldn’t just blindly follow him. When he didn’t hear her footsteps trailing behind him, he halted and turned back to look at her. "Why are you still standing there?" He asked. Pressing her lips together, she asked. "Where are we going to?" "Come on, Reese." His brows furrowed. "Do you think I am going to hurt you."She rolled her eyes. "How would I know?""We are going to the parking lot." He told her, shaking his head lightly, as he turned back and continued walking, wondering why she would ever think that he could hurt her. He led her through the lines of cars parke
The Sweetest Temptation 40| That’s gross.
The drive to Axel's mansion was silent and filled with lust. When they arrived at the mansion, he didn’t have the patience to drive his car all the way to his garage and park it. His dick was throbbing profusely under the covers, and he needed to be inside her as soon as possible. Parking the car just in front of the front door, he jumped out of the car, walked around to the passenger side of the car, and yanked the door open. "Come out." He instructed, as he stared lustfully at Reese. Reese swallowed against her dry throat as she slipped out of the car, and Axel shut the door afterwards. Axel reached for her wrist and grabbed it, and he started pulling her towards the front door. Luckily, he met the James—the janitor—just when he entered the house and he tossed the car key at him. He didn’t need to tell James what he needed to do with the key. He knew already. James greeted him, but he only responded with a nod as he continued walking. His domestic workers were standing in di
The Sweetest Temptation 41| Two hundred thousand.
The bed felt really comfortable, and it was the most comfortable sleep she’d had since she arrived in London. Lucy’s bed was so small, and there was hardly enough space to stretch because the bed was designed to accommodate only one person. Lucy had made a good investment by purchasing a better bed; now she wouldn’t have to wake up with body pains anymore, she thought, as she slowly opened her eyes. The room looked different—way different from Lucy’s room. It was big and elegantly furnished. This is not Lucy’s room! She thought, and memories of last night suddenly started flashing through her head. She was in Axel’s room, on his bed!Damn it! She mumbled, and she sprung up. She turned to look at him on the other end of the bed and realized that he was still deeply asleep. The ribbon of desire inside her messed up with her brain last night, and she couldn’t think straight, which is why she followed him home. Now that her eyes are clear, she was embarrassed at herself, and she need
The Sweetest Temptation 42| Low-key
Luckily, she met Axel's driver when she got outside and she asked him to take her home. He hesitated at first because he would have loved to get a direct order from his boss, but she assured him that he truly told her to ask him to take her home. So he agreed to take her home. She has no reason to lie, he thought.On their way, he tried to indulge her in unnecessary chatter, but she wasn't in for it. Her mind was far away, and all she could think about was getting fucked by Axel, even though she was annoyed by him.Damn, she shouldn't be so attracted to someone who reduced her to being a prostitute. But her mind and body were betrayers—they keep wanting him. She was sure that if he had drawn her back and locked his lips with hers, she would have given in without hesitation, and she wouldn't have left."So, is there anything between you and Mr. Griffin?" Daniel asked, cutting through her thoughts for the hundredth time since they started the ride. He interrupted a thought she wish

The Sweetest Temptation 146| Always and forever.
The scent of tropical flowers hung heavy in the air, carried on the gentle breeze that drifted through the lush foliage of the Kula botanical garden in Maui, Hawaii. The sun was shining high overhead, casting a warm, golden light on the vibrant greenery. The sound of chirping birds and the rustling leaves of the lush green trees surrounded the beautiful garden, creating an idyllic atmosphere for a wedding ceremony. And the setting couldn’t have been more beautiful. The guests sat on chairs adorned with flowers. The only guests in attendance were Reese’s parents, Axel’s parents, Lucy, Harry, Zayn, Luke, and Ethan. When Reese told her parents that she was going to have her wedding in Hawaii, she had expected them to say they wouldn’t be able to attend or even ask her to postpone the wedding due to the unfortunate incident that happened with Beatrice. But the reverse was the case. They agreed to the wedding without hesitation.Lucy invited her boyfriend—Harry—for the wedding because she
The Sweetest Temptation 145| Maui, Hawaii.
When the day Beatrice and Jasper were to be arraigned in court came, Reese was strong enough to go and testify against her sister. Reese was standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself after getting dressed for the court hearing. She was dressed in a black suit set.Sighing, she turned to look at Axel, who had been supportive after the incident happened. "How are you feeling?" Axel asked."I don't know," Reese replied, and Axel held her hand as they walked out of the house together, entered the car, and went to court. She entered the court and caught sight of her sister. Her heart ached as she looked at her, wondering how someone she had known all her life could now seem like a complete stranger. She thought she knew everything about her sister, but now she realizes there are depths to her personality that she had never even suspected.As soon as Reese's eyes locked onto her sister's, her sister's gaze quickly averted, prompting Reese to ponder the possibility of whether her
The Sweetest Temptation 144| Vital signs.
Luckily, no vital organ was hit when Reese and Axel was shot, so they survived without complications. Axel woke up after getting to the hospital, but Reese was in a coma. Although, they were assured that her vital signs were okay and she would wake up soon. The news of Reese and Axel was carried by the reporters, and different channels were trying to cover the story. The following day, Axel sat down in his bed in his ward and watched the news, hearing how they wanted an interview. Axel sighed and changed the channel. It was another reporter reporting the news of the predicament that happened. He wonders why everything about him has to be in the public eye and sighs."It was shocking that one of the most anticipated weddings of the year got canceled, Mr. Axel and Miss Reese's wedding got canceled with not much information on the reason it got canceled and the..." Axel got tired and turned the television off. He knew watching the news right now would do nothing but worsen the state he w
The Sweetest Temptation 143| Stay with me.
Jasper just stood there as he watched them exchange words. The only thing he was interested in was the money Axel was willing to give him. He helped Beatrice kidnap Lucy and Reese just because of the money she promised to give him. Now, he’s getting a better offer, and he suddenly doesn’t care about the money Beatrice promised to give him anymore. He needed to act fast before Axel withdraws his offer. "How did you even say you were willing to give me?" Jasper asked. "You requested five million dollars. I would give you that. Axel said. A smirk touched his lips as he turned to look at Beatrice. "Let them go."Beatrice drew her brows together. "Are you crazy? I didn’t go through all this just to let them go.""But I am going to let them go." He told her. "There’s money involved. And I started all this because of the money. you promised to give me in the first place. Now, I am getting a better offer. I am a businessman, so I would go with what pays me more.""So you joined her in doin
The Sweetest Temptation 142| You, Axel.
Jasper, who was determined to convince her by all means. The moment she answered positively, he would take the bag, hold her hand, and walk away with her as fast as possible before she changed her mind. Beatrice seemed like a determined type of girl, and she could go to any extent to get what she wanted.He didn't know how he came across such a woman and just wished it was someone with a simple mind, not a complicated mind. Reese was making him tired and losing hope that he would win this game. He wasn't ready to lose that shot; he had already started to imagine what it would be like to have such money and be able to do or get whatever you wanted."We could just take this money and leave. This shouldn't be a hard task.” Jasper said, looking at her with a calm and hopeful face."Yeah. We can all settle this amicably without hurting anyone, and we'll go back to our daily lives like nothing happened." Axel said, gesturing with his hands for her to calm down.Beatrice scoffed. "You both a
The Sweetest Temptation 141| Say bye.
"Mr. Axel, you'll need to calm down. We are going to try our best to save your fiancee and her best friend. All we need from you is your cooperation by staying put. If you do not stop, it's very possible that you could affect our strategy." The cop said this over the phone, assuring their safety.Axel was restless and decided to rush down to the location that Reese had dropped. He couldn't just sit down and wait for the police to do the job; he wanted to see Reese himself to see how she was doing. Then he went out and started driving towards the place, and he thought of what he could actually do, the strategy he could use that would leave him with regret.Then a thought sprang up in his head. He was going to search for the numbers Jasper had used in blackmailing him. He searched and almost thought he had lost it until he saw the number and then dialed it immediately."Hello." He answered the call."Let them go now." Axel said with a confident tone."Why should I let them go?" He asked
The Sweetest Temptation 140| Abducted.
Reese confirmed it was Lucy's number, but didn't understand what was going on. Why was a man talking on the phone?"Hello, who are you? I would like to speak with Lucy." She said, trying to ignore every negative thought that ran through her mind."You really are clueless, aren't you?" He chuckled and sniffed."What do you mean by that? Who are you? What did you do to my friend?" Reese asked, feeling frightened. She had been avoiding all these negative occurrences, and that was why she didn't want to get married yet in the first place. Axel had encouraged her to allow them to go on with the wedding, but things got worse. She had thought that the man had decided to leave them alone or that he couldn't get anything on them since they were laying low. But hearing the man's voice sent shivers down her spine, and she felt cold suddenly."If you want your friend alive, you have to get her in a few minutes. I do not care if you are about to start your wedding or not. All I know is that if you
The Sweetest Temptation 139| Where is Lucy?
Reese was really scared and didn't know what to do while she was waiting for Axel. She could see the man approaching them, and Reese became more frightened as she didn't know if that was going to be her last day on earth. She tried calling Axel again, but his phone wasn't reachable. She had given him the address of the inn and decided to take Lucy with her to the inn to feel protected until Axel came to save them. Reese was inside the inn, her hands kept on shaking, and slowly Lucy started getting sober; she raised her head to see how worried Reese was."What’s going on?" she asked, sitting up sluggishly. Reese's phone started ringing, and she couldn’t answer Lucy. She picked up her phone immediately, and it was Axel calling her.She picks up the call immediately, feeling anxious and happy at the same time. Babe," she said immediately after picking up the call."I’m outside the inn," Axel said."Okay, I’m here with Lucy, and she doesn’t look sober enough." Reese replied"I will come i
The Sweetest Temptation 138| Bachelorette.
Three weeks later, Reese's best friend Lucy flew to New York for Reese’s wedding. She had called her earlier to inform her of her arrival. Reese went to the airport to pick her up, and her face broke into a smile when her eyes landed on Lucy, who was walking out of the airport. Lucy took her glass off when she saw her best friend and smiled. They hugged instantly."Wow! It’s so nice seeing you again, and babe, you look wonderful," Lucy said when they broke the hug. Reese chuckled at her kind words."I’m thrilled to see you too, and thank you." Reese said, and they went over to enter the car that was waiting for them. As soon as they entered the car, the chauffeur ignited the engines, driving them to the hotel premises."How is the preparation going? I know you must be feeling super nervous right now," Lucy asked excitedly, and Reese chuckled slightly, moving the string of hair blocking her sight."Nothing much is planned; I just want to have this done and dusted," Reese said, and her h
