Axel's lips trailed lower, leaving a heated path from Lila's collarbone down to her chest. Each kiss felt like fire against her skin, and her breathing grew shallow, anticipation rising with every soft, deliberate touch. His hands slid up her sides, his fingers brushing against her, teasing as they moved. His lips hovered just above the edge of her clothes, his breath warm against her skin.
"You're trembling, Lila," Axel whispered, his voice barely audible as he kissed the exposed skin just above her neckline. "Do I make you nervous? Or is it something else?"
Lila bit her lip, her body betraying the whirlwind of emotions surging through her. Her heart raced, her pulse quickening as Axel's hand slipped beneath the fabric of her dress, his fingers grazing her skin. She should stop him, she knew, but every inch of her wanted more.
Axel seemed to sense her hesitation, his lips curving into a smirk against her skin. "You could tell me to stop, you know," he teased, his fingers lightly tracing along the curve of her waist. "But you won't, will you?"
Lila remained silent, her body reacting instinctively to the feel of his lips as they continued their descent. She could feel the warmth of his breath against her chest, the soft graze of his lips sending shivers through her. When he reached the sensitive skin just above her breasts, he paused, looking up at her with a gaze that was both heated and playful.
"Your silence tells me everything," Axel murmured, his lips brushing against her skin as he spoke. "You want this. You've wanted this for a long time."
Lila's breath caught in her throat as Axel's mouth finally made contact, kissing her gently at first, then with more intensity. His hands gripped her waist, pulling her closer as he explored her body with both touch and taste. She felt a flush creep up her neck, the heat of the moment overwhelming her senses.
"You're not as proper as you pretend to be, Empress," Axel said softly, his voice carrying a teasing edge as he kissed her skin, his lips wandering lower. "Behind all that composure, you're just as hungry for this as I am."
His hand slid down her side, his fingers pressing lightly into her skin, while his lips trailed down further, exploring the curve of her chest. He kissed her softly, his lips lingering as though savoring every moment, every reaction she gave him.
"You're so quiet," Axel whispered, his lips brushing against her skin as he paused for a moment, teasing her with the lightest of touches. "Does this feel too good to speak?"
Lila's fingers tightened on his back, her body responding even though her mind screamed at her to stop. But Axel's touch was too intoxicating, too powerful to resist. She felt him kiss along the edge of her dress, his hands moving to pull the fabric slightly down, just enough to expose more of her to his lips.
Lila finally shed the layers of pretense, her resolve crumbling under the weight of her desires. The moment Axel's lips grazed her skin, she felt an undeniable spark igniting within her, a surge of power and confidence she had long suppressed. She realized that she had him right where she wanted him, completely enthralled by her presence.
With a sly smile, she leaned closer to Axel, her fingers trailing down his chest, teasingly lingering as they moved lower.
Before he could respond, Lila pushed him gently but firmly toward the sofa, her movements playful yet deliberate. Axel stumbled back, a mixture of surprise and delight dancing in his eyes. As he settled onto the cushions, Lila climbed onto his lap, straddling him with an air of confidence that made her feel invincible.
"Shut up," she playfully commanded, but her tone was laced with a teasing challenge as she looked down at him, a smirk tugging at her lips.
Axel chuckled, leaning back slightly as if to assess her. "Oh, but I don't think I can," he replied, his voice dripping with flirtation.
Lila rolled her eyes, but the warmth spreading through her made it hard to maintain her annoyance. "I said shut up," she repeated, though her heart raced with excitement at the power dynamics shifting between them.
"Make me," Axel teased, his hands resting on her hips, his touch light yet possessive. He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her neck as he whispered, "I'd love to see you try."
The heat radiating from him sent a thrill through her, and she smiled mischievously as she took his hands, guiding them to her chest.
"My chest isn't big or pretty," she said softly, feigning innocence, her gaze locked onto his. "Do you think that too?" The challenge hung in the air, her teasing lilt evident.
Axel's breath caught in his throat as his fingers brushed against her, hesitating as he absorbed the sensation. "I—" he stammered, struggling to find his voice, captivated by her.
"Don't be shy," she encouraged, tilting her head slightly. "Just tell me the truth."
"It's—" he finally managed, his voice thick and barely controlled. "It's stunning." His sincerity poured out, but the way his fingers trembled against her soft skin betrayed his struggle to remain composed.
Lila leaned in closer, her lips hovering just above his. "So, you really think it's pretty?" she teased, letting her breath mingle with his.
"Absolutely," he replied, a hint of desperation creeping into his tone. "Very pretty."
"Good," she murmured, her heart racing as she pressed his hands more firmly against her chest, savoring the moment. "Because I like when you touch me like this." She reveled in the way he responded, feeling his body tense beneath her.
Axel's eyes darkened with desire, a struggle evident in his expression. "Lila, you're driving me crazy," he admitted, his voice low and thick with longing.
"Is that so?" she teased, pressing her body against him, enjoying the weight of his yearning. "Maybe I should keep doing this."
"Please," he breathed, his resolve cracking as he fought to control himself.
Lila captured his lips with hers again, the kiss igniting an overwhelming fire between them. She felt Axel's hands explore her body, his touch growing more desperate as he tried to keep his composure.
"Just let go," she whispered against his mouth, her words a seductive command. "I won't bite… unless you want me to."
"Lila," he groaned, struggling to maintain his restraint as her lips moved to his neck, trailing soft kisses that made him shudder.
"Does that feel good?" she murmured, teasingly nipping at his skin, feeling the heat radiating from him.
"Too good," he admitted, his voice strained. "I can't… I can't hold back much longer."
"Then don't," she whispered, a playful smile dancing on her lips.
The tension between them reached a breaking point, their kisses growing more fervent, their breaths mingling as they surrendered to the moment. Lila's heart raced, fully aware of the hold she had over him, and she intended to savor every second.
