<br/>​</div><span style="font-family: 'Didact Gothic', 'sans-serif'">Tempest wasn't exactly wrong, Axel thrived in chaos; it may be the only time he truly released his inner desire. He noted her teasing tone and couldn't help the smirk that crossed his lips, he adored her little tauntings. As he approached the door, it was clear that he was hindered to some degree, as if his body tried to prevent him from reaching the front door. A sigh of relief escaped from his lips as he heard her soft voice call out his name. The dark haired male turned on his heel as he gazed toward his now lover, his molten gaze fixated on the way her body moved toward him; hunger practically ebbed from every part of him. She was his, he needed and desired her, the simple call of his name wasn't something he expected from Tempest, and already he had a hunch about what she was going to ask of him; little did she know that he already knew the answer.<br/>
<br/>
The moment his woman reached him, Axel slipped his arms around her slender figure and drew her form in against his. A stifled moan hummed from within him as her lips locked with his willing tiers, caressing and lovingly tending to hers before her tongue joined their heated interaction. Before his tongue could truly wrestle with hers, he felt the absence of her heat, which drew a slight frown to ripple over his brows in a slight crease along his forehead. The officer wasn't unaware of her fingers curled in his hair, but he was focused on why she drew back, it was clear that she had something to say, and it was important enough to part their heated union.<br/>
<br/>
Axel remained still, despite his increasing heart rate. Even at that moment, even when he knew her so well, she surprised him. It wasn't the words she spoke, but the allure she seemed to have. Axel would do anything she desired, but he had not expected to feel so... drawn to her. Usually, he was rather determined and firm with his schedule. Despite the changes he'd made for her, he'd done so in his own control; in this situation, he felt like there was no choice; he couldn't possibly leave her, not when she asked him so sweetly to stay. It was impossible to deny her, that he'd realized quickly. It felt as if he was standing in a hurricane, the power of their attraction tearing around him like a wild and untamed force.<br/>
<br/>
On top of her alluring offer, Axel knew he was working too much. All he'd been focused on was work and Tempest, which resulted in six hours of sleep or less a night. The male reached down into his jeans and withdrew his phone as his other arm remained pressed against her lower back, his strong digits spanning out over the supple curve of her rear. He didn't say a word, but his gaze never left hers as he held the phone to his ear, a faint ringing sound ebbing between them. <br/>
<br/>
"Hey, I'm not going to be able to make it in today, are you good to cover the shift alone?" His voice had hardened somewhat when he spoke to Tempest he spoke with tenderness, but at work, Axel held no hint of tenderness or a gentle manner. "Great, thanks. I'll clear it with the Captain tomorrow. If you get stuck, just give me a call. I can be there in... thirty minutes or so, okay?" There was a hint of confirmation on the other end before Axel ended the call and shoved his phone back into his pocket. <br/>
<br/>
With his attention turned back to his new lover, a slow and playful smirk began to curl over his lips, "So, about this bath..." A glint of mischief rippled over his handsome features before his now freed hand slid around her curvaceous figure to meet his other hand. Without much effort, he dropped his hands to cup beneath her plump rear before raising her up against his chest, knowing she'd curl her legs around him without any prompting. "All you gotta do is ask, peaches." There were many things he wished to tell her, how much he craved her, how long he'd cared for her... but somehow he felt like she may already know.<br/>
<br/>
Once in the bathroom, Axel eased the female down with care before tending to the taps. The male was surprisingly cautious with the water temperature before he straightened back up and glanced toward Tempest with a boyish smirk forming over his lips. "Ladies first, need some help with those clothes, ma'am?"</span>
