Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1974

Toying? Amber felt her racing heart skip a beat. Surrounded by Axel's scent, she quickly lost her passion. From Jameson to the tycoons she was forced to entertain, all men treated her like a plaything, and Axel was no different.

She was delusional to think he'd be special, but he disappointed her.

Suppressing the heartache, she flashed a bitter smile with tears in her eyes. "Mr. Axel, you seem to be in high spirits today. What do you wish to engage in? SM? 69?"

Her voice was reeking with sexual appeal, and so was her body. However, the look in Axel's eyes hardened. Holding her shoulders, he pressed her back against the tree bark.

He fixed his deep gaze on her face before staring at her chest, as though he was looking for a way to her heart. "You look pretty lovely in the windbreaker."

Although his tone still had a playful edge, she blushed in embarrassment while attempting to remove the windbreaker. Pressing against her hand, he stopped her and put the windbreaker back on. "Keep it. It's chilly today. You don't want to catch a cold."

The warmth from his dry, calloused hand gave her a sense of security, causing a lump to form in her throat. A teardrop escaped the corner of her eye.

Just as she was about to wipe the teardrop away, he suddenly grabbed her chin and lowered his head to kiss the lone teardrop away.

A jolt of electricity surged across her body. Misty-eyed, she nearly lost her balance from the electrifying sensation. Her back started sliding down the tree bark, only for him to scoop her up and steady her body.

His warm breath tickled her as he stroked her waist. "Tell me. What are you crying for?"

Panting gently. Then, she replied in a soft, monotonous voice, "That's none of your business."

"Are you crying because I touched your heart with my kindness?" Tilting his head, he stared at her while his breathing grew heavier.

From afar, their figures overlapped with each other as though they were one. It was a rather suggestive scene. They did not cross a line, yet it felt like they had hit a home run.
