Axel narrowed his eyes. "You're not here specifically for me, are you?"

Amber ran her finger in slow, circular motions along his firm chest. "You should believe that we were

Axel raised his brow. "I see. It was fated indeed."

"Thank you for helping me the last time."

Amber wrapped his black necktie around her hand. Her soft skin was brushing against his body.

With a longing gaze, she looked at him and said, "I have been hoping to see you again. I was hoping to

repay you."

Axel's eyes turned dim.

His searching eyes made her feel nervous. Yet, she tried her best to control herself.

He had eagle eyes. They were like lie detectors. Strangely enough, he actually felt that her words

sounded genuine at that moment.

"Tell me, then. How were you thinking of repaying me, hmm?" Axel broke into a sly smile as he moved

his lips closer to her.

Amber's heart thundered in her chest. A light shade of pink colored her cheeks as she blushed shyly.

"That is up to you. Tonight... I will go with whatever you say."
