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
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 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 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 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
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
Axel was sitting on the porch chair, impatiently waiting for Daniel to come back with his car so that he could explain why he took Reese home without asking for his permission first. He didn't follow immediately because he thought Daniel would ask for his permission to take Reese home when she asked him to, and he would have denied him the permission to do so. But when he went outside to get Reese a few minutes later and take her back inside so that they could discuss a suitable plan for both of them, he realized that she had gone, and he became furious.The moment Daniel drove through the gates, he leapt to his feet and hailed for him to stop before he could take the car to the garage.Wondering why his boss asked him to stop, he turned off the ignition and jumped out of the car."Good morning, sir." Daniel greeted Axel as he approached him. "I have taken Ms. McBride home as you asked me to.""As I asked you to?" Axel asked, raising his brow. "When did I ask you to take her home?"
Sitting in the back seat of Harry’s car, Reese was peering outside through the window, and for the very first time since she left Axel’s mansion, her core had stopped aching for him.Harry took Lucy and her for grocery shopping, and they were on their way back to their house. Reese hated grocery shopping, but when Harry came back inside the house after he had left to remind Lucy about the grocery shopping she said she wanted to go for, Reese made a decision she had never made before; she willingly offered to go grocery shopping. She thought going grocery shopping and walking around the mall would help rid her mind of thoughts of Axel, and it worked. Her body wasn’t longing for him anymore, but she knew it was only a matter of time before her body betrayed her again. "What are these two doing in front of the house?" Lucy said, cutting through her thoughts.Still peering through the window, she asked. "What two?""Zayn and your boss." Lucy said, and Reese quickly flicked her gaze ahe
