Chapter 23

Axel leads me to our hotel suite. He opens the door and I walk in and then he comes in behind me and he closes it. I stand in the middle of the room not knowing what to do. "Go change into your night gown"

"Okay" as I walk into the closet and I change into that. I feel relieved, I walk back into the room and Axel is just in his boxers. "What were you and Styles talking about?" as he looks at me intently. "Nothing much, he just asked general questions about my age and where I was from."

"Is that all?"

"Yes" as I nod lightly.

"Come here Talia"

I look up at him and I walk slowly towards him, until I'm standing in front of him. His hand reaches out and my eyes widen at his sudden movement.

His hand rests lightly on my neck, and he draws me closer and his lips are next to my ears. "You know that you are my wife right"

"Yes" as I reply him. Then he tilts my neck and he places a kiss, then he starts gently sucking on it. I swallow a bit. Then he leans back, and his other hand cups my face and he tilts it up. He lowers a gentle kiss on my lips. Then he deepens the kiss, I start to struggle, but then I give in.

It felt so nice to be kissed by this Axel. His one hand goes to my neck then lower and he cups my breast. I can't help but moan into his mouth, his hand goes lower, and he cups my hindsight. Then he lifts me off the ground and he led me to the bed.

I wake up the next morning and this time it wasn't as painful as the first time we had done, I wake up to find Axel gone. I go, and I shower, after showering I eat breakfast and I wait the whole day for him.

When it is 18:06pm, there is a knock by the door and a white gown and mask are given to me. "When you are done, please come to the main hall"

"Why?"

"It's a surprise"

The dress is very beautiful, I fix my make up and hair first and then I do my make up and put on the mask. I am so happy.

I get out the room and I receive a few compliments.

I walk into the main hall and there are lots of people. I had never been to a mascaraed ball in my whole life, which made me so excited. How was I going to spot Axel?

I decide to ask one of his guards that I know, "Hey, its Talia. Where is Axel"

"He is outside dealing with some business, but he should be back soon so wait here."

"Okay" I decide to go find him, I walk through a dozen people and I finally get outside, they are two guards standing there, I see Axel as I am about to call out to him, I see him kissing a girl who has blonde hair.

My heart drops and I race back, one of the guards tries to call me back "Tal" but I am already gone, I try to make my way past people. I feel a hand grip my arm "Talia" I immediately recognize it to be Styles voice.

He pulls me towards the dance floor, and he wraps his arms around me. "I see you like the dress and mask I picked out for you"

"Wait you got me these"

"Yes" as he whirled me around.

"son of a bitch" as I cuss out Axel underneath my breath.

"Sorry?"

"It's nothing Styles"

"You look amazing Talia"

"Thank you"

We dance for a couple of songs, and I start to relax. I feel a hand grip me, "Talia" I see Axel.

"Ladies and gentlemen please take your seats."

I see the blonde girl motioning for Axel to come "go to your whore Axel" as I pull out of his grip. I see him walk away.

"You can come sit with me Talia" as Styles leads me to his table. I sit next to him and I look across the room and I see Axel's eyes glued onto me.

I look away, when I see the blonde leaning in and whispering in his ear.

"Are you okay?" As Styles places a hand on my shoulder.

"Yes, I am fine" as I reply Styles. I give him a reassuring smile.
