All Chapters of Tempting The Twins: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Mila’s POVOver the next two days, Aaron got worse. His sprain kept him stuck on the couch, and he used every second of it to demand my attention. If I walked into the kitchen, he demanded something. If I sat on the couch, he asked for a cushion. But the moment Axel walked into the room, Aaron’s whole expression changed. He became more irritated, snapping at everyone with a scowl on his face.I didn't let him get to me. Every time he tried to use guilt to make me stay near him, I set my boundaries and walked away.By Tuesday afternoon, I went downstairs to give him his pain meds. He was sitting on the edge of the couch, his leg propped up."Here," I said, handing him the bottle and a glass of water."Where were you?" he asked, not taking the glass right away. "I called for you ten minutes ago.""I was in my room, Aaron. I'm not your nurse.""You're in this house, aren't you?" he muttered, taking the glass. "It's not that

Mila’s POVMy phone vibrated loudly on the nightstand at eight in the morning on New Year’s Day. I reached over, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, and saw my mum’s name on the screen. I sat up quickly, in excitement. It had been ages since I heard from her. I waited for her call on Christmas, but it didn’t come. I slid the screen to answer. “Hello Mum! Happy New Year, I’m so glad to hear from you—""Mila..."My whole body froze. The voice on the other end wasn't my mother's. It was deep, hoarse, and instantly made my skin crawl."How nice it is to hear your voice," Mr. Miller said softly through the speaker. "I miss you so much, Mila dear. Won’t you come see your mother again?"I couldn't move. My hand trembled as I clutched the phone tightly to my ear, my throat completely closed up as fear enveloped me completely."Mila? Say something before your mother comes back," he whispered, his tone sickeningly gentle. "Won’t you come home

Mila’s POV"No," I said, shaking my head as we walked down the hallway. "Rowan is...""A skank," Paris chirped in. "I know. But he's throwing the biggest and first party of the school year, so we have to be in attendance."We were strutting down the main corridor in the matching white woolen sweaters Princess had knitted for us over the holiday. It was really pretty, save for "cringey best friends" embroidered on the front of the shirt in pink wool. But Princess was so excited about it, we couldn’t disappoint her by not wearing it. Princess paired hers with denim jorts and sneakers, Paris wore slim jeans with dark leather boots, and I went with a short denim skirt and knee-high boots.Princess sighed, turning to Paris. "I don't know..."Paris shot her a playful glare. "Back me up here, Princess!"Princess paused, then turned to me with a small shrug. "We have to go, Mila. It's a pool party.""Exactly!" Paris raised his h

Axel’s POVI stood in the water, my hands clenched so tight my knuckles turned white. I was already pissed off from watching Mila talking to Liam earlier. I had tracked his eyes, which had stayed fixated on her body the whole time. I couldn’t blame him, she looked so goddamn hot in that bikini set. My eyes stayed on her the whole time: the little peekaboo moment in her bikini top that showed the swell of her breasts, her waistline, and her hips, the sides bare from the silver cutouts. Fuck me, Mila.I caught the sickening, satisfied look on Tiffany’s face as she glared at her. My blood began to boil with rage.“What the hell is wrong with you?” I yelled, my voice ringing out across the entire pool area.The chatter around the pool died down instantly. Everyone turned to look, murmuring and whispering amongst themselves as people started gathering around us.Tiffany stepped back from the edge of the pool, her eyes wide as she tried to put on her innocent act. “Axel,wait—”“No, shut up!”

Mila’s POVThe next morning, I woke up with my heart pounding in my chest before I even opened my eyes.My mind kept wandering to the pool. Every single detail of that day was replaying in my mind like a movie I couldn't turn off. It wasn't just the fact that Axel had jumped in to pull me out, or that he’d screamed at Tiffany until her face turned pale in front of our schoolmates. It was the way he’d held me against him in front of everyone. My breasts pressed flat against his hard chest, the heat of his body next to mine despite the cold water of the pool, and the hard, undeniable bulge in his trunks that told me exactly what was happening to him while the whole school watched.I couldn’t help but wonder what was going through everyone’s minds. Aaron, Paris, Princess, Liam. They had seen that I was bare-chested and he was shielding me with his body. Heat traveled up my neck and to my cheeks.I pressed my palms over my eyes and let out a long, mis
