Sugar Coated

Omniscient p.o.v:

Angelica intook a sharp breath as he cupped her breasts over her top. She shivered as the cold surface of the champagne flute came into contact with her skin. Victor let out a groan...barely audible but Angelica heard it and somehow, she realised the state they were in. She didn't want to do anything that she or Victor would regret afterwards. She kept her hands on Victor's shoulders and tried to push him away while he was nuzzling against her neck.

"I..I..need to go," Angelica whispered, finding it difficult to talk. She felt as if she was a wax doll burning in a fire under Victor's gaze. Victor let go off her but he kept hovering around her. Angelica gasped as he leaned in closer and huskily muttered," Never forget this thing, until you work under me, you are mine, only mine...".

Angelica's eyes blinked in response and at the same time, hoping to decipher his emotions, but his clenched jaw and intense gaze halted her chain of thoughts as well as her analysis. Victor then swiftly backed away from her, and walked away from the suite within seconds. Angelica remained in the same position, her back stuck on the wall. She placed her hands on her heaving chest. She loved him, she was damn sure of that! But she wondered about Victor.... True, he was concerned about her but did he love her or was he using her only as a sex toy? She heard rumours from before that Victor was already married but he never acted as if he were in a relationship, according to her.

Victor rose up in the early hours of the morning. It was intermittently pouring and the humidity was rising. Thank god for the air conditioners. Victor ruffled his hair and rubbed his eyes, trying to ward off the remnants of sleep. He had a hard night, he was attracted to Angelica, he couldn't deny that! He was jealous when he heard Angelica saying that she was out with a friend and he had seen her dining with her 'friend' while he had been waiting for her at the beach. 

His hands fisted as anger bubbled up inside of him. He was not supposed to fall for Angelica, he was not supposed to, but every time, he was near to her, he lost his senses and felt as if he were like a moth to a flame. He was in an inner conflict with himself, it was wrong, she was just 19 while he had already been married. Yes, he was married but he did not want to dwell upon the throbbings of noontide. He had to sort up his priorities and focus on business affairs now. They had to present their presentation in some 5 hours in order to conquer a plot of land in St.Kitts and Nevis in order to build a resort. Everything was ready, he only had to mail some details to the main headquarters of his company. He poured himself a glass cold water as he walked to a table where his laptop was kept. Shit! The information which he needed were with Angelica and he really needed to send the email.

Victor opened the door to Angelica's suite stealthily. He had a demanded for a duplicate key to her suite but he was not going to tell her that. The sound of his steps was camouflaged by the carpet on the floor. He laptop was placed on her bed, right next to where she was sleeping. Great! He wanted to avoid her but now, he had to go closer to her.

He tried to get his hands on the laptop while avoiding making any movement that could wake Angelica up. The duvet was pulled till her chest and she looked so calm while sleeping. Her hair was loose and veiled half of her face. A smile played upon his face as if he observed her sleeping figure. He mentally chided himself and he put his knee on the bed, crawling towards where the laptop was. Damn, the king sized bed was really huge! He grinned as he grabbed the laptop . Angelica was still sleeping, the movements had not woken her up.

He sat on the bed, waiting for the files to get transferred to the USB key. He leaned his back against the bed, enjoying the cold air. The hallway was like a sauna room. His eyes drifted to Angelica who was sleeping besides him. He furrowed his brows as he noticed some changes in her facial expressions. There were some beads of sweat on her forehead as well. He kept the laptop aside and he leaned in closer. She was shaking and muttered something incomprehensible. Worried, he grazed her cheek and she jolted up, shaking frantically. Victor was taken aback, seeing her reaction. She must have had a nightmare.  Angelica calmed down when she saw Victor next to her. He gently rubbed her shoulders and got her to lie down. Victor smirked as Angelica suspiciously looked at him.

"Relax, I just needed the information about the property you had on your laptop," he paused, pointing at the laptop and she nodded, feeling a sense of comfort in his arms. "Are you okay? Was the dream that bad?", Victor questioned, his arm still around her shoulder. Angelica rested her head against his as she muttered,"It's not called a nightmare for no reason,". Victor chuckled and she mirrored his reactions. Victor turned to face her and saw her staring at him. He let down his guard as the innocence in her eyes captivated him. Angelica gasped as his thumb roughly brushed her lips. Her mind stopped working as her mouth was engulfed by his. A couple of seconds later, she registered the action and threaded her hands through his hair as he sucked the flesh of her mouth, deepening the intimacy gesture.
