Meet Axel Collins…
I’ve had my fair share of women. I’m not ashamed to say I’ve sent them all away with a smile on their face.
Just one night is all I need to put that spring in their step and leave them begging for more. But more isn’t something I’m willing to give them. I don’t let them stay the night, and I don’t do relationships—not since Lex, not after Lex.
But Lex comes barreling into my world like a hurricane, destroying everything in her path as she makes her way back into my life—she never did leave my heart.
No, now that Lex is back I’m not letting her go—not out of my world or out of my bed. She’s back and this time I’m determined to keep it that way. Views: 264
