The Sweetest Temptation 73| My prints on you.
Reese has been staying with Zayn for three days now, and he has been so good to her. He takes her to work every morning and drives her back home after work. But those three days have been really tough on her because Lucy was still pushing her away and Axel carried on with the attitude from the night she left his house. He had been deliberately avoiding her, and that bothered her a lot. Today, however, she was ready to confront him and talk it out with him. She was tired of the awkwardness between them. She was in his office and she had just finished briefing him on his schedule for that day, and he expected her to leave after that, but she didn’t. She remained seated, determined to put an end to the nonsense that had been going on for days."Ms. McBride, anything else?" He asked, raising his brow. She nodded her head. "Yes."He raised his brow, urging her to continue. "Why have you been avoiding me?" She asked. "Avoiding you?" He asked, feigning ignorance. "I have not been avoi

Axel darted his gaze at Reese, worry saturating his features. "Are you okay?"She was definitely not okay! But he looked worried, and she didn’t want him to worry too much, so she nodded her head and lied. "I am okay."He could see right through her lies that she wasn’t okay and he really wanted to take her into his arms and comfort her. But he had to take care of the scumbag first.Pressing his lips together, he returned his gaze to the mysterious man, who was still on the floor, wincing in pain. "Who the fuck are you?" He barked, but he didn’t get a response from the man."Are you even an employee here?" Axel pressed on, but he still didn’t get any response from him, and that frustrated him. Blowing out a frustrated breath, he slipped his phone out of his pocket, called the securities, and asked them to rush to the printing room.The mysterious guy tried to stand up, but Axel threw another punch at him, causing him to forcefully fall back on the floor.Axel briefly glanced at Rees
The Sweetest Temptation 75| Melodious tune.
Understanding Axel is an impossible feat. One moment he is so kind to her, and the next he becomes so cold. They had just arrived at his house, and she was wondering if he would let her stay there peacefully or chase her away with his attitude like he always does."Call that guy and ask him to bring your things here." Axel told her as they walked towards the front door of his mansion, his arm wrapped around her waist."I would go and get my things myself." She spoke quietly. "Bold of you to assume that I am going to allow you to go back to his house." "What?" Reese asked, confused, as she swung her head to the side to look at him. "You are not going back there, Reese." "But—" She tried to protest, but he cut her off. "Unless you really want us to end this." He said, as they slipped through the door. Eleanor was the first person they saw when they entered, and she had a big smile on her face. "Welcome sir." She beamed, then darted her gaze at Reese. "Hi, Ms. McBride.""Hi." Ree
The Sweetest Temptation 76| A doctor or a therapist.
There's no getting over what happened between Axel and Reese yesterday. The sex was so good that they had to do it three times!He was in his office, rolling in his swivel chair, reminiscing about the way his cock moved smoothly inside her femininity. The way she let out those sexy moans after each stroke.Damn! He's never going to let go of such a great sex partner, he thought. He allowed Zayn to take her away from him once, but that's never going to happen again.He was still rolling on his swivel chair, smiling from ear to ear, with an abandoned project on his desk, when a knock suddenly sounded on the door, whisking him back to reality.He cleared his throat. "Who is it?"The person behind the door didn't bother to reply when she opened the door and slipped inside the office."Mom?!" He exclaimed, his eyes narrowing in bewilderment. "What are you doing here?""I came to check up on my son." She beamed as she approached him. "How are you, Axel?"Axel pressed his lips together and l
The Sweetest Temptation 77| Unholy things.
Axel hoisted his head up to see Reese approaching his office with a file in her hands. "Hello, Mr. Griffin." She said, a smile tugging her lips apart. "Going somewhere?""No." He took his hand to his head and rubbed his temple. He was so angry, but for some weird reason, seeing her and hearing her voice soothed his heart, and the rage boiling within him cooled down. "So, why are you outside?" She chuckled. "You look confused, Axel.""I was going to your office." He lied as he wrapped his arms around her waist, then leaned in and kissed her on her neck. "I missed you.""Axel…" She called as she quickly pulled away from him. "People might see us."Right. His mother is inside his office, and she might come out at any moment. Her seeing him with Reese in this position is something he doesn’t want. How would he even explain to her that he and Reese are nothing more than just sex partners? "Should we go inside your office?" She said, cutting through his thoughts as she moved closer to th
The Sweetest Temptation 78| Luke’s request.
Everything else was a total blur. From how they got to his house to how they entered the room and got themselves naked. Axel was on Reese, pumping his manhood inside her back and forth, as the sound of their labored breathing filled the whole room. "Cum for me, baby." Axel rasped. "I want you to cum."And after he said that, her body obeyed as she vibrated and a milky juice whipped out of her core. After a few more thrusts, he ejaculated and fell back on the bed, panting heavily. "Reese." He called when he finally caught his breath. "Yes?" She asked breathlessly. He turned on his side to get a better look at her. "Don’t ever leave me, please."A small smile curled on her lips. "Why?""Do I have to spell it out?" He took his hand to her face and caressed her cheeks. "Because I want you by my side at all times, Reese."Her pulse pattered to an uneven beat at his words, and heat rushed to her core, arousing her all over again. "Why do you want me by your side at all times?" She as
The Sweetest Temptation 79| Eleven calls.
"Why don’t you want her to do it?" Luke asked, confused."I just don’t want her to." Axel groaned. Luke pressed his lips together as he sighed. "Come on, man, it’s just a little favor.""It’s a no!" Axel exclaimed as he turned on his heels and started walking away. "And that’s final." He said over his shoulders.Luke and Reese trailed him with their eyes as he walked out of the living room, mouth agape."What’s wrong with him?" Reese asked when he was finally out of sight. "Do you guys have a misunderstanding?"Luke gave his head a slight shake. "No, I’m just as lost as you are. I wonder why he’s like that.""I wonder why too." She sighed. "Anyway, I would help you with it.""Why?" He raised a brow. "But Axel said—"She cut him off. "Axel is not the one to dictate what I do and what I don't. I make decisions for myself.""Are you sure?" Luke asked, raising a brow."Damn sure." A smile touched her lips. "Just give me a date and time.""Tomorrow," Luke said. "I’ll pick you up after wor

"Lucy." Reese called as she knocked on the door. "Please just open the door and let's talk."Reese has been knocking on the door for almost ten minutes now, and Lucy has been refusing to open the door."Lucy." Reese called again. "You are hurting me.""Reese, just go." Lucy yelled. "You can come back when you resolve the issues you have with your parents. I don't want my life to be ruined.""I understand how you feel right now, and I am sorry, Lucy. I am sorry." She sighed. "Just open the door and let's talk, please. I would leave afterwards."The door was suddenly yanked open, and Lucy appeared in front of her."Lucy, this is as hard for me as it is for you. But—" Reese sighed and raked her fingers through her hair. "You are my best friend, Lucy. I didn't expect you to throw me away like some bad habit just because my mom threatened you."Lucy felt really bad for treating Reese that way, but she needed to protect herself, and in order to do that, she had to stay away from Reese."You

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
