title: Claimed by Axel
author: Day, Laura
description: The gloves are off and he’s not just pinning me down for practice
  They promised me he was a professional
  That he had a cool, quiet strength and the sort of intensity that left you shaking.
  They
  didn’t
   tell me he was made of almost six feet of pure muscle, scars, and a bad attitude.
  Everything
   is a fight with him.
  Crass son of a bitch doesn’t
  begin
   to cover it.
  And clothes don’t, either…
  Day in and day out I have to get down and dirty in the ring with him.
  Sweat, skin, and friction.
  I don’t think I can fight it much longer.
  Not when he uses his mouth for more than back-talk and his hands for more than punches
  Axl Connolly wants me, and Axl Connolly
  always
   wins
