Infatuation Of Darkness

Angelo's sweaty body fell on an equally sweaty body of Alexis. Both of them were breathing heavily from their morning workout session. Angelo was teaching her how to defend herself and she had finally seen a window and taken advantage of it but that also resulted in Angelo falling over her.

"Well done, rookie." He got up and lend her a hand. "That was unexpected." He praised.

"Why, thank you." She pushed her sweaty body against his, "Why don't you reward me, coach? The shower is free." Fluttering her lashes at him, she could see him breaking through his control.

Her glistening body which was reddened as well invoked a fire within which was pushing something 'else' up. "I don't know whether to fucking horny at this or be angry at you throwing yourself at your coach.."

"Punish me then, why don't you?" She whispered biting her lip and winking up at him.

"As you say, babe." Throwing her over his shoulders he ran upstairs.

"Shit," Alexis woke up, startled at the unusual dream which was very unlikely to happen. She looked to Angelo's side, her cheeks reddened on thinking what had happened. "The hell.."

She dragged herself to the bed's back and leaned against it. It was around 2 at night around what she could tell at once glance. Putting a cushion in her lap, she thought about it.

'How could I even think of that dream? I like the sex as a need that he provides and is legal too but a dream like this?' She felt puzzled at the moment. 'Did it mean that I should seduce him for stuff?'

She wondered. Maybe, she could. It's not like he ever said no to it when offered.

Holding the cushion in her hands and then looking at his peaceful face, she felt like stuffing his face till death.

Sighing, she threw the pillow across the room and laid down, praying that she won't behave like that ever again. Ever.

Waking up the routine followed. Angelo woke up half an hour before her to exercise for an hour and by the time he came in for a shower Alexis was already finished. Most of the time she was either doing her makeup or she was sitting and reading the newspaper.

Angelo hardly took 15 to 20 minutes to get ready and when he did, they walked down together to have breakfast.

"Have you thought about the proposal for the restaurant?" He asked as they waited for the food.

Angelo sighed and sipped her coffee. Should she agree? To be honest it was the best she was getting out of this man to work. He would control everything given his nature it was obvious but at least she would have freedom. Unlike his father, he was making an effort to have his wife stay sane behind him. Suddenly denying him felt bad.

"Yes," she smiled. "I would love to start something new."

"Who have you considered for the Managerial position?" Angelo asked after taking a bite of the food now served.

"Manager?" She said loudly. "Angelo, you practically threw the restaurant in my face last night. How do you expect me to get the staff ready the next morning?"

"By making some calls," The way he answered, he didn't seem to care about anyone's sleep. As long as his things got done, he was satisfied.

She sighed in return. Men were always this difficult. "No, I have to think about everything and make a call to the fine winery."

"Consider a Nikita for the manager," He pushed, "Have someone you can trust for the first restaurant if you plan to have more."

"Alright," she agreed, "but what about Isobel? She would want it too." To be honest, if she gave something to Nikita then Isobel came in too. She did not want to be seen favouring sides.

"Trust me, Nikita would want to work. Isobel is someone whom you could call a trophy wife, so if you want publicity you can ask her to come to the restaurant. Thought a name of it though?"

"How does 'Lexis' sound?" She turned to him with a hopeful expression on her face.

"Your name?" She nodded. "Fine by me. Submit the paperwork and I'll have it down for you."

"Okay."

Getting up, he buttoned his jacket and leaned down to kiss her lips. "Bye," he whispered kissing her again. "Take care."

"Yeah," she shakily muttered.

Watching him walk out had somehow reminded her of the dream or nightmare yesterday. It was obvious that she needed some action and now she was getting some tonight.

"There," the lawyer pointed to the space below the signatories. 

She signed.

"And there," she signed again.

"And here," she did. "And that's done."

He collected all the Paperwork and stood up. "I'll take my leave now. Thank you" From the way he behaved, he knew who she was or rather her husband.

Who had ever said that opening a restaurant was going to be easy? She had to go through tonnes of paperwork and yet, the employees and interior design was to be selected. Which of course, was going to be another hassle.

"Hey," Nikita peeped her head in and entered as Alexis waved her in. "I thought you might be tired, so refreshments!"

Agatha came in with iced tea and some macrons. Keeping them on the coffee table, she nodded and left.

"Come on, you might be tired. Can't let the Donna have early wrinkles." Nikita said as she took out the serving plates and napkins and placed the delicacies on them.

"How are you here today? I was told by Agatha that you Silvano are here mostly for the family dinners on the weekends." 

"Felt like meeting my new friend," she winked. 

'How sneaky can you be?" She shook her head at Nikita and took the plate as she took a seat.

"Nikita," she lazily drawled out as she ate a bit.. "You are one selfish bitch."
