All Chapters of Punished By Passion: His Dirty Submissive: Chapter 161 - Chapter 168

— Autumn I wake up to the literal sound of pots and pans banging in my ears. A split second later, bright light violently assaults my eyes. “What the …” I squint, trying to get my bearings. A second later, I realize where I am. I’m in Axel’s bed. I check the clock. 5:30 AM. I look up, and see Axel’s handsome face clutching a pot and a pan. “What the fuck, Axel? It’s 5:30.” “You know what time it also is? Time for practice.” “Coffee downstairs. Get dressed. We’re leaving in twenty.” I rub my eyes, feeling disoriented. “Leave for where?” “For practice.” I finally got a good look at him. I’m expecting to see his signature smirk, but it’s nowhere in sight. He looks dead serious. “Remember how I said I’d train you for the upcoming race? Well, I wasn’t lying. Let’s go.” Holy fuck. “Maybe if I’d known you were going to be this much of a hard ass, I wouldn’t have agreed,” I say, crossing my arms. “Do you want to win?” What kind of fucking question is that? “Obviously,” I retort.

— Axel James Martin. His name has been on repeat in my thoughts all morning. I must have thought through a million scenarios by now. I could kill him, but if I went to jail, I’d end up hurting all the people closest to me. I could hire someone else to kill him, but if it got traced to me, I’d have the same problem. I could threaten him, but there’s no chance that would work and a high chance he’d retaliate. Against me, or worst of all, potentially against Autumn. Finally, I come to the most logical solution. The solution that I think will result in the least amount of harm to everyone but James. I’m going to sabotage that motherfucker and make sure he never races another day in his life. A day later I’ve never been good friends with James. I'd say we’re acquaintances, at best. But I know someone who is friends with him … my best friend, Levi. After I’ve explained the situation to Levi, he doesn’t hesitate. “I’m in,” he says immediately. “Text me when it’s done, and I’ll g

— Autumn While we’re in the car, Axel’s phone starts ringing. “Do you want me to get that?” I ask. “Sure,” Axel responds. I click accept. “Hello, this is Jeanine speaking. Is Axel there?” “Um, this is his girlfriend. But I can take a message if you want?” I look at Axel and he nods. “Sure,” Jeanine says. “Just tell Axel to give me a call back when he has a chance. I need to know whether he’d like to be included on our mural of donors.” “What?” “I thought he might not, since he wanted to be anonymous. But some donors have requested that ‘anonymous’ go up on the mural.” “What mural?” “For the donors,” she says slowly, “Of the Woman’s Racing Alliance? Axel was our biggest donor this year. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to bring the big lawsuit.” I look over at Axel. He’s gripping the steering wheel harshly, his eyes fixed on the road. “Hello?” Jeanine’s voice snaps me back to the present. “Sorry, Jeanine. Uh, yeah, I’ll pass on the message to Axel.” I hang up,

— Axel Autumn’s in the washroom, and I’m sitting across from April. “Do you think now’s a good time?” I ask April. “Wait until dessert comes,” she says, giving me a wink. I smile. “Thanks.” I can’t believe I’m doing this, I think to myself as I watch Autumn advance towards our table. I take her in — her flowing hair, shining hazel eyes, gorgeous body — and I forget how to speak. I feel like I’m in high school all over again every time I look at her. I know this is crazy, but I don’t care. I’ve never felt this way about anyone. And now that I have April’s blessing, why wait? I take a sip of my beer while Autumn chatters about the last few laps of her big win today. I try to focus, but I’m too nervous. My palms are sweating, and I can feel my heart beating through my chest. I see a waiter approaching with cake, and I almost knock my glass to the ground. The waiter swerves at the last minute, taking the dessert out the door and to another section of the restaurant. Chill the fuc
