The Sweetest Temptation 48| Touch yourself.
The ride back to the company was full of lust and silence. Reese wanted him, but she couldn't say anything considering the fact that she stopped him from touching her."Are you done with your work for today?" Axel asked, finally putting an end to the long silence between them as they stepped out of the elevator."Almost." She said, her voice in a murmur."Follow me to my office." He said, as he started taking long strides towards his office.Hot on his heels, she asked. "Why?"Without turning back to look at her, he replied. "I am your boss, so you have to do whatever I say without questioning me." She didn’t bother to reply to him as they continued walking towards his office. When they got to his office, he pushed the door open and slipped inside, holding the door for Reese. "So why did you ask me to follow you to your office?" Reese asked as she ventured inside the office. "If it’s about the contract, I don’t want to hear it."He closed the door and sauntered to his desk without

Never in a million years could Reese have imagined that touching herself could be so pleasurable. She enjoyed every bit of the pleasure she gave to herself.They had already dressed up and cleaned up, and she was sitting on the visitors' chair across from him, looking as if something steamy didn’t happen between them moments ago. His elbows were planted on the desk, rubbing his palms together, with his gaze was fixed on her. "You are the best assistant I have ever had." He said, a smirk touching his lips. "I don’t regret hiring you.""How many female assistants have had?" She asked, raising her brow. "And how many have you fucked?" She added. He chuckled softly. "You are the only employee I have ever gotten intimate with." He told her. "Your question should be, how many female employees have I fired for trying to get intimate with me?"Leaning back on her seat, she folded her arms over her chest. "Why me?" Lifting a finger up, he said. "One, I got attracted to you even before you

Axel’s flight departed from London around 7:00 p.m. It was an eight hour long journey, but due to the five-hour difference in time zone, his flight arrived in New York around 10:00 p.m. His dad’s driver picked him up from the airport and when he got to his father’s mansion, his parents were waiting for him on the porch, and their faces lit up with impish glee as he jumped out of the car."Axel." His mom beamed as he approached them."Good to see you, mother." Axel said, a smile pulling on his lips as he opened his arms wide and hugged his mother. "You have grown more beautiful since the last time I saw you." He continued when they finally pulled away from the hug.His father cleared his throat, and Axel quickly directed his gaze at him.Inching closer to his father, he opened his arms wide and hugged him. "How are you, Father?""I am fine." His father patted his back lightly. "Welcome back home.""Thank you." He said, pulling away from the hug. He darted his gaze between his parents.
The Sweetest Temptation 51| Chloe, his ex.
The following morning, Axel left his father’s mansion as early as possible and reported to the company. Without wasting time, he began meeting with different departments in the company without taking breaks. The moment a team files out of the boardroom, another team files in. He was tired and needed to rest, but he wanted to get everything done as soon as possible and return to London—to Reese.Damn! He has never missed anyone as much as he misses Reese. He didn’t know her absence was going to affect him this much. He misses everything about her—and surprisingly not just their sexual encounters. He also misses her company.By the time he finished meeting with all the departments he needed to meet with, it was already 5:00 pm, and he was beyond exhausted.He was back at his office, and his office was still exactly the same as when he left it; nothing had been touched. Although the cleaners do clean it from time to time.He had a heap of documents on his desk, and he had to go through e

By the time Axel finished with his work, it was past 12 a.m., and he had expected his parents to have gone to bed before he returned home. But when he got home, he realized they hadn’t, and they were in the living room waiting for him to return."Why are you just coming back?" His dad asked as he ventured into the living room. "I was told you didn’t take any breaks today. You worked nonstop." He continued before Axel could even reply.Axel scratched his head. "Yes, Dad, I am leaving for London tomorrow." He informed them. "So, I had to get everything sorted out today.""But you just came back, Axel!" His mother exclaimed, her eyes growing wider. His father pressed his lips tightly together as he gestured at the sofa across from them. "Sit, son."Axel lifted his shoulders in a half-shrug as he started walking closer to them. He wasn’t interested in whatever his father wanted to say. He knew he was going to try to convince him to stay a little bit longer, and nothing was going to make
The Sweetest Temptation 53| Empty threat.
It’s been hours since Reese received Axel’s call and talked on the phone with him, but she still hasn’t stopped thinking about it. When she saw his call, she thought it was about work, but she was surprised when she realized it was not. Why would he call her as early as 6 a.m. just to ask her how she was? She thought. And it was around 1:00 a.m. in New York since London was five hours ahead of New York. She couldn’t stop thinking about him, and she really wished he was there with her. Two days in the office without him seemed like two months. She didn’t know that she was going to miss him this much. Fuck! She couldn’t wait for him to come back so that they could explore each other’s bodies to the full extent. Memories of what happened in his office before he left for New York flashed back at her, and she closed her eyes as she allowed herself to relive everything in her head. Her pussy became wet at the thought of Axel, and she could feel it, but she wasn’t going to touch herself

"Hey Heiress." Zayn said, a smile curling on his lips as Reese approached his car. "You look beautiful as always." Zayn had come to pick her up and drop her off at work, as usual. Placing her hand on the car handle, she pulled it open and slipped inside. "You never fail to flatter me, Zayn." "How was your night?" He asked as he turned the key in the ignition and powered up the road."Full of wet dreams." She said, and she quickly burst out laughing; her laugh was contagious, and Zayn joined her. "Just joking." She continued. He raised a questioning brow. "Are you sure it’s a joke?"No, she was not! In fact, what she was sure of was that she was not joking. She had a night filled with sexual pleasure from Axel in her dream. But there was no way she was going to tell Zayn that it wasn’t a joke.Swallowing against her dry throat, she lied. "I am sure, Zayn.""Okay." He briefly glanced at her before returning his gaze to the road. "What’s up with you and Axel Griffin? Have you finally
The Sweetest Temptation 55| CEO-assistant.
The day passed by in a whirlwind, and Axel got so busy with the two days' worth of piled-up work that he was supposed to do while he was away. He didn’t get to spend time with Reese; they barely even talked since their encounter in the elevator, as she was also busy with work in her office. He kept glancing at his watch at regular intervals. No matter how busy he got, he was determined to stop Zayn from taking her home that day and take over his position as the one who drives her home after work and brings her to work the next day.He couldn’t allow them to spend time together because he had seen the way Zayn looked at her and he didn’t trust him. He couldn’t lose her to him.The next time he glanced at his watch, the time was five minutes to four—five minutes until Reese left work for the day—and he sprung up, abandoning all the work he was doing. Grabbing his car key, he rushed down to the underground parking lot and drove his car to the front of the company’s building. Fortunat

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

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

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

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
