Chapter 3: Love at First Sight

Lioness jolted awake to the sound of a crash. She sat straight up in bed and when there was another crash, fear seized her heart.

She briefly glanced at the clock on the wall to see that it was 4 a.m.

Lioness went to pat Axel, only to find that he no longer was in the bed beside her.

Lioness quickly got out of the bed and dashed into the hallway. She looked around furiously and saw no one, and it was pitch black in the huge 1st class suite.

Well pitch black except for one light that was coming from a room in the very back of the suite.

Lioness stood still and listened intently. But the only thing she heard was grunts, yells, and more crashes.

She slowly tiptoed towards the light until she could hear better. She heard even louder words and another crash.

Figuring someone was in trouble and she could help, Lioness yelled a loud hey-yah and did a tuck and roll so that she was in the center of the room and when she stood up, she got into the capoeira fighting position…

And 8 pairs of eyes focused on her tan legs, and four mouths dropped open.

Lioness then realized that she was still in Axel's Bermuda shorts and t-shirt, and her face turned a slight pink, but she acted like it didn't matter and put her hands on her hips and leaned to the side in a sassy matter.

Axel let Hawk out of the headlock that he had had him in, and King lowered Shark (A/N who was raised over King's head.) to the carpeted floor.

Shark, King, and Hawk all looked curiously at Axel, all wondering why she was wearing his clothes. Axel was only supposed to bandage her wounds not…

"We were just wrestling and playing around." King apologetically explained, scratching the back of his head.

Lioness nodded slowly and wondered if she should leave or stay.

"Well, can I join?" Lioness flirted, batting her eyes.

"No." Axel said simply, and went to begin his wrestling match with Hawk again.

Once Axel realized that all of the guys were starring at her and not interested in wrestling with guys anymore, he stood up and walked over to Lioness, standing in front of her, his muscular body towering over her and shielding her perfect body from the other guys.

"What are you doing?" He hissed at her and for once in her life she was intimidated by a man, but would she show it?

Hell to the no.

"I was coming to make sure that you weren't dead! I heard a bunch of crashes and you weren't… you weren't… you weren't beside me anymore!" Lioness angrily stammered.

The three guys who had no idea what was happening, looked confused at each other.

Axel's eyes softened and he leaned toward her so that their lips were almost touching.

"I know you're scared, you can stop acting tough, Lioness." Axel said calmly, an amused smirk on his face.

Lioness suddenly had the urge to wipe that smirk flat off of his face! He acted like he knew her, knew everything about her, when he truly knew nothing.

Lioness's snarled dangerous, but all Axel did was laugh out loud at her.

Lioness glared and then let out a small yell of frustration as she swung her hand hard against Axel's cheek.

"Axel…" King warned as he saw Axel's hands clench and unclench. King knew that whenever Axel did that, he was losing control. And when Axel lost control, someone usually had to go to the hospital, and they all usually ended up in jail for a few nights.

Axel heeded King's warning and backed slightly away from her and lightly touched his fingers to the red hand print on his pale cheek.

"Dddduuuuuudddddeeee, maybe we should go." The blonde guy, Shark, said quickly, and stood up.

"No, I'm sure we can stay a little bit longer. Right Axel?" Hawk asked, silently nodding his red hair covered head at Axel, as a sign to let him stay.

Axel turned and glared menacingly at him.

Hawk, getting the signal, pouted. But he only had a second to act like a child because Shark soon had him by the arm and was dragging him out of the huge, empty living room, and Hawk was complaining the whole way.

Axel then averted his eyes to King.

King furiously shook his head.

"No, Axel, I don't want to leave you alone with her when you're like this. You may hurt her." King said, being bluntly honest.

"Hurt me? I am trained in the art of capoeira, while he is just a muscle man who tries to look tough even though he really feels nothing. He just thinks he has to prove himself to everyone! And… And he's selfish!" Lioness screamed, shoving Axel back a few feet. (A/N We all know she's really strong, and has a huge ego).

"I let you sleep in my bed and I cleaned and bandaged your wounds! And yet I'm the selfish one?" Axel yelled, stepping very close to her.

King ran in between them and put a restraining hand on Axel's broad chest.

"Leave King! We're fine!" Axel exclaimed, starring up at the taller dark skinned man.

"So yelling is supposed to make me-." King started his statement sarcastically but a glare from Axel made him stop talking.

King sighed and held his hands up in the sign of surrender.

"Fine. But if you hurt her, at all, I will beat your ass. You still need some more counseling, Axel." King threatened, and Axel nodded, knowing King always held up his end of a threat.

King walked out of the room, grumbling the whole time. After he shut the door, Axel took in a deep breath and exhaled.

"Lioness, if that's even your real name, you're selfish. You manipulate people and their emotions just to get what you want, which is money, and you turned it into a profession. Sure, I've only known you for a little while, but I've seen the real you, even though it only lasted for a few minutes." Axel said, his voice lowered into a normal tone.

Lioness, still steamed, refused to hear the truth from this-this stranger!

"Well Axel, I think that I saw the real you when you hurled me across that table a few floors down! You apparently bottle all of your past pains and traumas inside, and when someone gets too close to digging up that pain, you turn on them! You're a hypocrite, Axel! You act like you care about people but all you care about is yourself and what happens to you!" Lioness said, her voice almost to a normal tone. A triumphant smirk was pasted on her pretty face.

"Selfish? I'm selfish? You left your whole family back in Brazil so you could come here to be a low class hooker!" Axel yelled, his control bending so far back that it was close to snapping.

"YOU BASTARD!" Lioness squealed, tears welling in her eyes and threatening to run across her face.

With a choked cry she did a spin that she learned in capoeira classes back in Brazil and kicked Axel in his stomach.

He flew back into the wall, but recovered quickly and bounced back onto his feet.

He ran at Lioness and grabbed her upper arms and threw her onto the floor.

Lioness kicked at his private area, but he caught her foot and dragged her to him.

Lioness used all of her upper body strength and raised her back up off the floor as far as she could and kicked the taller person above her in the jaw.

Axel briefly let go of her to mend his bruised jaw and Lioness made a move to stand up.

Once Axel saw what she was doing, he tackled her when she was squatting and they slid across the tough carpet and further in so that they were literally in the center of the room.

Axel had managed to get into position so that he was on top of Lioness.

"I hate you." Lioness growled at him, struggling as he pinned her hands and arms to the floor.

"No you don't Lioness! You don't hate me and I definitely don't hate you! But you make me weak and I feel stupid when you're near me and it makes me want to lose control again. Because you're special, Lioness. And, damn it, you're beautiful. And you deserve so much more than what you have." Axel whispered, his once angry tone, now a somber one.

Lioness blinked her eyes rapidly as he released her and stood to his feet. The words he said sounded like they were straight out of a romance movie or novel, but they weren't.

Sure, they were sappy words, but she already knew Axel was not a sappy person, and that he genuinely meant what he said.

Axel was practically jogging away from her, trying to get out of the room as fast as possible.

Lioness stood up and scrambled after him.

"Axel, wait!" She called out, and he faltered, only a moment though, before turning around and starring at her.

"I'm sorry. I'm such a confusing person, hell, usually I'm confused myself. I don't know what love is really. You scare me because I know that maybe, maybe, you can show me what love is. That's why I start fights with you… I want you to lose control, so that I won't feel like I'm the one that's out of control all of the time." Lioness confessed quickly.

She was met with silence.

"Yeah… you're crazy." Axel joked fnally and they chuckled together for a few tense seconds.

"I guess I can sleep on the floor in King's room tonight." Axel said quickly, and started to leave the room once again.

"Axel, lose control with me once, just once and I promise that I'll-!" Lioness started to beg but Axel's lips were crushed harshly against hers before she could finish her sentence. He didn't need a second invitation.

Even though he didn't want to lose control, he trusted her and trusted himself not to hurt her.

Axel's hands started to roam all across her body, and her moans just made him even more aggressive.

Axel wrapped his arms around her abdomen but quickly backed away when she gasped in pain.

"I'm sorry. I forgot about that man who hurt you." Axel apologized, gently running his hands across her tender bruises.

"I don't care." Lioness said haughtily, and she wrapped her lean arms around his neck and leaned against him, kissing him as hard as she could.

Axel placed his hands on the underside of her thighs and hoisted her onto his waist, carrying her to the bed that they had shared earlier.

(A/N The rating gets higher here, but you can read until the first set of equal signs and then scroll until you see the second pair of equal signs if you do not wish to read the horrible lemon. But I don't know if I can write lemons… so…I'm just gonna kind of try my best... Sorry. I suggest you scroll past. My friend told me try so I shall. Hopefully ya'll can enjoy anyway.)

He set her on the edge of the bed gently, and placed his hands at the hem at the bottom of his fitted t-shirt.

Lioness sighed happily as he started to undress, admiring his sculpted abs. Axel laughed and leaned forward, lifting her, well his technically, t-shirt over her head.

Even with just a lamp on in the room, Lioness could see anger and hatred burn in his eyes at the sight of her bruises, and she knew that he was going to try to be careful.

But Lioness didn't want to be careful, she wanted him and all of him. Pain or no pain.

Lioness raised his face and looked into his ocean blue eyes. "You can lose control." She whispered, nodding her head silently when she saw doubt in his eyes.

Axel leaned over and turned off the lamp, leaving the room in almost complete darkness. The only light was from the clear glass window that faced the ocean. The stars and the moon reflected off of that ocean, illuminating the room with a dim blue-white glow.

They moved together, rocking back and forth, the bedpost shaking under the force.

Lioness let out a harsh yelp as she saw stars behind her eyelids.

She panted his name over and over again as she came down from her high. And then she realized that he was still thrusting into her.

Lioness arched her back and grabbed his hair, and then rolled over, changing their position so that she was sitting up on top of him.

"I think that I love you." She panted hoarsely as she rode him.

One of Axel's hands was holding on to one of her supple breasts, and the other was on her hip, setting a fast and hard pace, lifting the girl above him up and down.

Lioness cried out as quietly as she could as she reached the point of no return for what felt like the 5th time that night.

Axel's thoughts were scrambled as he reached the point of extreme pleasure as well, and everything momentarily went black as she fell over on top of him.

Their chests touching so that they could hear each other's heartbeats, which soon would be beating as one.

As they lie there together a few hours later, Axel brushed her silky brown hair away from her face and smiled.

"I loved you the first moment I saw you. Even though I didn't want to. I wanted to hate you, and make you stay away but I couldn't. I wanted you, and not just-." Axel stammered, a pink blush rising on his cheeks as he tried to explain that he didn't just want sex from her.

"I understand, Axel. You're different than anyone I've ever met. I've never fought with someone and then… well, you know." Lioness explained, shrugging her shoulders.

Axel nodded, saying that he did know.

"You're sappy today." Lioness joked after a few comfortable silences.

He smirked at her. "Well, so are you." He said as they lie there together.

"We'll have to talk in the morning. We kind of hardly know each other." Axel said seriously, returning back to his under control self.

Lioness nodded in understanding.

That night, she slept with the reflection of the ocean illuminating her face and Axel's chest pressed to her back.

A/N: I know, the lemon was horrible. *sigh* This is what I get for letting my friend talk me into trying to write one. Sorry it was so bad, I apologize. I hate this chapter a lot. I may go back and delete it and start over… but if ya'll like it I won't promise. Thanks for reading. No flames, and nice comments appreciated.
