Although it should be noted that Cindy wasn't stopping Axel from touching her during the first photoshoot even though she was in relationship with Wade at that point. And this time, there's no Ian on that business trip to stop Axel from going further with his touching...If you successfully romance Cindy, I don't think she banged Axel. Axel is touchy-feely for sure (that picture with his hand on her ass is triggering lots of people), but you know it after you went with Cindy to Axel's for her first photoshoot
(i agree though, that there's probably path where Cindy doesn't just let Axel have his way. But i want to vex people a bit
