Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Thirty-Eight - Who Woke Her Up Everyday?
A gentle touch on her cheek woke Hayley up early in the morning at 5 o’clock. She opened her groggy eyes and looked around the bedroom. There was no one! Was it a dream? She was sure she felt someone caress her cheek, and tuck her hair behind her hair with a lot of tenderness. Then she remembered her promise to Ashton. She was supposed to go out jogging with him at 5 in the morning. Groaning, she rushed to the washroom. In ten minutes, ready in a blue top and yoga pants, she picked up her keys and mobile phone and rushed out. To her surprise, Ashton sat on the staircase beside his apartment, waiting for her. “Good morning! How did you manage to wake up so early?” he asked, with eyes twinkling with amusement. Hayley groaned, unable to figure out the reason for his good mood. “I just did! Sorry, I’m late! Shall we go?” Ashton sprang up, and Hayley groaned at his level of energy. All she wanted was to crawl back to bed and sleep. Why did she need to agree to this when she had a hecti
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Thirty-Nine - There's Been No One In My Life
Hayley locked her apartment and went out but there were no signs of Ashton anywhere. He wasn’t waiting for her like he did the last time. A little disappointed, she went down to the jogger's track and started her walk without Ashton.After five minutes, she started jogging at a slow pace when Ashton and Paula jogged past her. “Good morning, babe!” said Ashton, stopping to match her pace. Hayley mentally grimaced at the endearment, but didn’t react at all in front of him. Although she was intensely jealous and hurt to see them together, she looked him in the eye. “Good morning, Ashton!” she said in a cold and aloof tone, before picking up pace and jogging off in a different path than them. She didn’t need to collide with them. Ashton, however, followed her. “Are you trying to avoid me?” he asked, catching up with her and grabbing her arm to stop her. “No. You’re most welcome to jog with your f*ck buddy. You spent last night with her, didn’t you?” She wrenched her arm free of his hol
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Forty - His Dad Was Alive?
Hayley closed the door to her apartment and leaned against it, breathing hard. The kiss had her on the brink of surrender! No, she couldn’t afford to go down that path again, only to be shut out of his life. For the last four years, she had struggled to get a grip on herself and move on. Now she had chosen her career over a relationship. She couldn’t accept Ashton back into her life. It was better to think of him as a player and hate him. She dragged her tired body to the bedroom to get ready for work. After fifteen minutes, she drove away to work without breakfast or coffee. It wasn’t working at all! She shouldn’t have moved into Ashton’s building! The entire day she was busy, grabbing a quick lunch at the hotel itself. “You look tired, Hails. Are you sure you aren’t skipping your meals?” asked her dad, noting how stressed she looked. “Mornings are hectic because I’ve started working out. Most days, I don’t get to make any breakfast.” Her dad frowned with worry, shaking his head
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Forty-One - Another Side To Ashton
It was almost evening when Hayley remembered her predicament. If she didn’t find the keys to her apartment, what would she do? The whole day, she had been busy with work. So, calling up Ashton and taking an update from him had totally escaped her mind. She tried his number, but he didn’t accept her call. Was he still at work? Confused and in a dilemma, she messaged him. Did you get the keys to my apartment?–Hayley. She waited for fifteen minutes, but there was no answer. She called again, but still no response. Hayley chewed her teeth nervously, unable to decide. Should she go to her parents’ house? In that case, they would surely try to convince her to return.Packing up her stuff, she drove home. Maybe she would wait for Ashton on the staircase. This should be a lesson for her to never forget her keys before leaving. Maybe she should wear them as a pendant around her neck! After a few minutes, she parked her car behind Ashton’s and got down with a frown. If he was here already, w
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Forty-Two - Staying Over At His Place
Ashton stopped strumming the guitar and looked straight into her eyes. The intensity of his look made Hayley’s breath get stuck in her throat. “How was it? Did I do justice to your favorite song?” he asked, flashing her a skew little smile. Of course, he did. He was a player. He knew the effect he was having on her. Hayley came to her senses and pulled a bar stool to sit down beside him. “Yes, it was mind-blowing! I didn’t think you would remember. When did you start playing the guitar?” she asked breathlessly. He smiled, keeping down his instrument and getting up. “I used to play on my dad’s broken guitar when I lived with him. He taught me to play. Then uncle Daniel bought me this one. I started taking formal lessons, but I stopped playing it in the last four years.” Hayley searched his eyes at his indirect admission. Why did he stop playing? Was it because of her? “Why did you stop?” She held her breath, waiting for his reply. Ashton stood watching her, his deep, penetrating ga
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Forty-Three - You're Mine
Hayley’s plea made him freeze momentarily. He wanted to tell her the reason he took the extreme step. It was for her own good, to protect her from Gambino. “I had my reasons, Hayley. Believe me, whatever I did was only to protect you.” He released her, his eyes filling up with remorse. Hayley frowned with curiosity, getting off his lap, picking up her tee shirt, and slipping it over her head. “From whom? Gambino’s men?” Ashton stared at her, wondering what to tell her. “Yes. Do you still want to be with me?” he asked, hesitating a little. Hayley held his gaze and cupped his cheek lovingly. “I don’t care. I want to be with you forever, Ashton. Can’t you get it?” she whispered with so much conviction that it blew his mind away. “I can’t promise you forever, Hayley. There’s no certainty about my life. There are many things you don’t know about me. I’m not the guy you can depend on,” he said bitterly, with a feeling of despair filling up within him. At that point, he wished he could
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Forty-Four - Her Missing Clothes
Hayley stretched her arms, not wanting to wake up from the best sleep of her life! Her hand suddenly touched something rock hard, and she caught hold of it. Where was she? A warm flush spread all over her as she felt the object she had grabbed. Her eyes flew open as realization struck her.She was on Ashton’s bed with him! To her immense horror, the object was none other than his hard morning wood! She released it as if burned and then looked up to ensure that he was sleeping. But he wasn’t! He winked at her, grabbing her hand and placing it back on his bulge. A groan of intense pleasure shook his body. “Good morning, Hayley! Why did you stop? Remember, you’re mine just like I’m yours,” he whispered, rolling over her, pinning her with his body so that she couldn’t escape. “Good morning, Ashton! Are you?” He nodded, guiding her hand, teaching her to please him. A gasp escaped her mouth and her cheeks flushed with color. “So hard!” she whispered, and he grinned at her, leaning in t
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Forty-Five - An Unknown Stalker
Hayley climbed into his car and leaned in to peck his cheek, having missed him immensely the whole day.“Did you miss me?” he asked, with a heart-stopping grin lighting up his features. “Yes, and you?” He nodded and started the ignition, without elaborating further. “I’m sure you didn’t,” she glared at his inadequate response. “What if I prove to you I did?” He grinned at the warm flush that stained her cheeks when she finally realized what he implied. Yes, he hadn’t been able to forget the way she took him in her mouth. It was the best experience he had so far and now he wanted a repeat. He realized how shallow all his encounters had been so far. With no feelings involved, they were just shallow, monotonous se*. What he started with Hayley was so different. It was so real and he was already addicted. It was no use trying to tell her what he felt. He had never been so good with words. It was better if he showed her how he felt, how much he had missed her. He would definitely try t
