Chapter 90 I may not restrain myself anymore

90 I may not restrain myself anymore

Sylvia walk inside the study room of Francisco. She handed him the video of the Lawson launching with the partnership of the Alvarez. Watching it, Francisco's eyes was on the girl that resemble her mother. She look like a real queen in her gown with gems around her.

"How do we win Lawson's investment?" Francisco asked as he admire the girl's face.

"I have been approaching him but he always make excuses. Lawson is very meticulous."

"Why don't you approach his wife?" Sylvia was stunned for a while.

"Sabrina is mute." She said. Francisco chuckled.

"Sabrina isn't mute. She just don't want to talk."

"I'll try to approach her."

She went back to her office and started researching few things. To win Lawson's investment would be a big win to them. Though Lawson has partnered with Alvarez it would be a big catch for them. They could shipped into Asia and America without any hassle. Plus the money would be big if Lawson would invest in them.

In the study room, under the dim light, Francisco was puffing smokes from his Tabaco as he watch the Lawson and Alvarez's business rocketed and their fame in business rank goes up. This morning, there's a lot of people who wants to have a VIP card in the Lawson Country Club. Alvarez released ten VIP Gold card for their shopping around Alvarez shopping center and other buildings.

"Get that VIP gold card." Francisco told her.

"Yes, sir."

Veronica had filed a week vacation but she went to his office first. She placed the papers that he needed and was getting ready to leave.

"Maldives?" He asked her. "I'll book for our tour."

"There's no need. I prefer to go there alone. Besides, I might change plans. It depends on what my mind says."

He slump on his swivel chair and look at her for a while. They have been sleeping beside each other these past few nights and yet—she's still pushing him away and was always in businesslike mode.

"Veronica, I may not restrain myself anymore." He said in very serious tone. He stood and pick the papers, scanned it and put it away.

"Can I go now?" She asked.

"Not yet." He walk around and lock the door.

She frown and he strode toward her and grabbed her cheeks. He was about to kiss her passionately, But she block her hand in front of his mouth. He open press his lips in annoyance. He haven't taste that smart mouth of her though they had been sleeping beside each other for a while. Nothing happened to them yet.

"You won't let me kiss you." He utter huskily. Her eyes was dangerous and murderous. But he likes it. Was he crazy to like something like that? He caress his thumb across her lips.

She was staring at him coldly. But he never get afraid since it attract him more. He kisses her palm lightly. Her eyes dilated from what he did. It was practically a honey trap and he move closer and closer. He open his lips a little and then he invade hers. She's not opening her mouth so he grabbed her chin and tilt his head a little and play his tongue to hers.

Veronica's heart has been stable but now, she's feeling the rage. The rage of anger that she's been keeping. She wanted to push the man away but he just smell so good and his tongue was doing crazy things and he taste fine but she didn't respond because she doesn't know how to.

He wrapped his other arm around her back and pressed her body to his. The heat inside the COO's office intensify. He didn't let her mouth go and he's like taking all her soul with his kiss. She was breathless and she tried to grasp some air and her fist clenches on his shirt while trying to push him a little.

He only gave her two seconds to breathe and invade her mouth again without letting her go. His arms tighten around her as he keeps kissing her. She had thought a lot of self-defense and on how to free herself but her body just couldn't do it. And her mind was somewhere in Bahamas.

She's loosing oxygen and she have to push him away. She did try and he let her mouth go. She grasp some air and was panting. Both of them are panting. She look away and her legs feel jelly because of lack of oxygen and she almost fall down but his strong arm was around her and holds her steadily.

His eyes looking at her with full of passion and he wasn't satisfied with the kiss yet. So he carried her to the sofa, lay her down and corner her. She glower at him like daggers but it just intensify the heat of his body. She was about to push him but he caught her both wrist and pinned it above her head.

"Do not restrain, Veronica. I can feel your body heat and your body is responding to me."

"Let. Me. Go." She said dangerously.

"It just makes me want you more…" He utter in her ear and he kisses her earlobe lightly. He graze his fingers on her globes and felt something there. He look at her face. "I told you your body is responding to me. Even your nipples are hard." She wanted to push him but she's wearing a skirt and it was tight. It did gives electricity through her breast and damn this man—teasing her. "Do you want me to relieve it?"

"I think you need it more." She said in very dangerous voice. He lower his head to her neck and kisses her collarbone lightly. "Let me go this instant, Tony." She demanded. He sneer. His name did sound good on her mouth.

Tony sat up and did let her go. Though he wasn't satisfied, it was enough for him to know that she was indeed what he needed. She fix herself in a very cool manner like nothing happened and button up her blouse. She reach the tissue and wipe her mouth since her lipstick was all smudge.

He watch her leave his office and he bit his lower lip. He's craving for her more.

Veronica left the building at nine in the evening and went directly to the Elite Bar, directly to the VIP room. Catriona was already there sipping on her wine, feet on top of the coffee table. Veronica slump on the sofa and took the glass the Catriona offer.

"Your lips are swollen." Catriona noted. Veronica glare at her and finish the glass of wine. "You should live your life a little. You wouldn't know how long you will still live."

"So—to live your life, you fuck Alvarez. Don't tell me that you already love him?" She asked as she took the bottle of wine and pour herself.

"It doesn't matter if I love him or not. For me, I enjoy the sex with him. He's my boy toy… and falling in love wasn't part of our plan."

"So what if you had fallen in love to Enzo?" Veronica asked and a big slice of baked fries to her mouth. Catriona was thinking.

"But—don't you plan to use Tony for a while? I mean, I have to tell you that sex is good. Tony can be your boy toy since he's so into you that he make out with you. That's one sided." She frown at Catriona. "If I die, good thing that I didn't die a virgin."

"You are drunk."

"I am not drunk. My alcohol tolerance is high. I am just stating few facts here, V."

Veronica had thought over the warmth that she felt while she was in his arms and the intensity she felt at that moment. It was too much that she couldn't respond. Whiskey try to do it to her but she had manage to almost kill him. But Tony? Maybe she's just in her professional mode.

"And if, I will fall in love to Alvarez… that would be too shame, right? My mother is a whore of your father."

"I have no father." Veronica said quickly. Catriona chuckled and shook her head.

"I don't deserve Enzo. And I think you are thinking the same way with Tony. You don't hate men, Nica. You just hate a certain one."

Catriona was right after all. Tony wasn't a bad person. In fact, he did care for her than no one had. He even brought breakfast for her and even told her to sleep when it was too late at night and they are still working. But, her views in men would always be the same. Tony might act that way but she was sure that he only wanted one thing.

"I'll be off to Switzerland soon." They both know that it was a very dangerous mission. But she has her own dangerous mission as well. Stepping to the boundary of their enemy. "So before you make yourself a bait to the predator, why don't you spend your last few days in bed with Tony? I heard that he always makes his women satisfied." Catriona keep teasing. Veronica took a piece of baked potato and throw it to her. Catriona caught it with her teeth and she chew it.

"Come back here in one piece." Veronica said. Though they seemed apart from each other, both of them shared the same pain and the same bonding.

"Why? You'll miss your bastard sister?" Catriona grins.

"No. We have to face a certain person first before letting ourselves die."

"I thought you'll just miss me. But anyway, let's finish this few bottles so we could go on our separate ways."

Veronica agreed with her and get drunk with her.
