Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Thirty-Four - Taking Her Home With Him
Ashton reached his apartment with Hayley in his arms. Feeling her soft body against his chest unleashed a myriad of emotions within him. He had successfully kept these feelings hidden deep within him for the last four years, but not anymore. Why would he obey Gambino when he was paying off his money? Who the f*ck was with Francesca to order him around? After Kingsley’s threat, he felt rebellious, wanting to claim what was rightfully his. Yes, Hayley was his! He glanced at her tenderly, as she snuggled into his chest and an intense need to protect her rose deep within him. He kicked his door shut and carried her towards his bedroom. This was what he had wanted for a long time, to bring her home! He lay her down on his bed and dropped to his knees beside her, gazing at her delicate, innocent face with longing. Why was she so damn stubborn? Why did she need to dance with others when he was dying to dance with her? She stirred, and he froze with apprehension, not wanting her to witness

“I don’t do kindness. I do what I want!” said Ashton impatiently, getting up and holding his hand out to her. She smiled at his denial. No one knew him better than her. Without questioning his motive, she placed her hand in his, and a jolt of electricity coursed through her body at his touch. He pulled her up with him and away towards the door. “Let’s clear the table first.” “Later. What’s the rush? You’re here with me all day!” Hayley’s eyes popped out at his announcement. What? When did she agree to spend the whole day with him?“I’m not. I’m sure you have other important work to do.”“I don’t.” With a sly grin on his face, he locked the apartment and lead her out of the building, onto the streets. They crossed it and walked over to the otherwise secluded beach. On a lazy weekend morning, they saw only a handful of people loitering about. “It usually gets crowded in the evenings, but I prefer the mornings. I jog along this entire stretch at 5 o’clock in the morning every day.”
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Thirty-Six - Who Will You Date?
It was the most exciting news in the Barclay family and everyone congratulated Meredith and Robert Barclay. They all knew how much this meant to them. Granny was in tears and she engaged herself in organizing a baby shower party for Meredith. Hayley was glad that their attention was diverted away from her. After dinner, she could pack up her stuff in peace. Her mom came over to help her. “Jason is still interested in marrying you, Hails. If you change your mind about him, tell me. We’ll plan your engagement.” “I won’t change my mind, mom. I will now look into the business to relieve dad.” Hayley was determined not to give in and marry that man, whatever it took her. She would rather stay single all her life. “That’s a very noble thought, but you can’t live alone all your life, Hails. We won’t be there for you forever. You need a family of your own,” coaxed her mom. “I’ll have my cousins, mom. I don’t need Jason in my life.”“Fine, as you wish.” The next morning, Hayley was in th
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Thirty-Seven - What Did He Want In Return?
Ashton’s announcement confused Hayley a lot. It was so difficult to understand the guy. There were certain things she still needed answers to. She still couldn’t forget the frightening man at the nightclub. Ashton’s words from that night still rang in her ears. He had claimed her as his and had fought with Don’s men. He also mentioned some debt. It was confusing indeed! Was he working for the Don who had him kidnapped? Was that the reason he broke off with her? Then why does he want to resume where they left off four years ago? Why did he want to date her again? There were only unanswered questions flitting across her mind, driving her crazy! Sighing, she went to the master bedroom to check. Ashton had already placed the boxes in the closet, but she had no energy to unpack them tonight. Pulling out a pair of shorts and a plain black tee shirt, she went into the luxurious washroom to freshen up. She groaned, realizing that she needed stuff for the house. Thankfully, the washroom was
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
