My Little Sunshine

Chapter 37: Meeting Room

Stella stood there quietly as Adam hugged her as if his life depended on it.

Her body couldn't help but tremble in his embrace. She tried to get out of it, but he was holding her too tight. She squirmed in between his arms trying to escape his hold, but it only made him tighten his arms around her waist. 

"Adam, I can't breathe." Stella said with her muffled voice.

Hearing her, Adam drew back his hands with obvious reluctance. "I am sorry."

"It's alright!" Stella's eyes darted everywhere except for the man in front. "It's already late, I should head back to my room now."

Adam nodded his head in response. "I will see you tomorrow then." He bid goodnight to her retreating figure. He couldn't help but gaze at the dark blue night sky, a number of stars twinkling in the vast space. "What are you doing to me little elf?" He couldn't comprehend his own feelings. His heart beat like crazy whenever she was close to her. There was a warm feeling that spread throughout his body whenever he saw her smiling. 

She was a mystery to him and he wanted to solve this little mystery. He couldn't assimilate how a girl could affect him so much. He looked at the night sky one more time before returning back to his room. 

The next day, they headed to the office together after having breakfast. Once in the company, they treated each other just like before. Well, not when they were alone in Adam's office. He would tease her every time she came in his office for handing over some files or paperwork. 

"Thank you so much, beasty." He gave her a sweet smile when she brought him his coffee only to get a glare from him. He has been calling her beasty since morning. 

"Why are you calling me that?" Stella asked, narrowing her eyes at him.

"Your crop top last night, it had beast written on it. And it suits you as well." He gave her a wide grin, making Stella roll back her eyes.

The next two days passed by with them following their usual routine. They would go to the office together and return in the evening. Adam and Stella grew a bit closer, at least Stella didn't feel uncomfortable in his company anymore. Soon it was Friday, the day Stella had to give him a compiled report regarding all the potential investors for the Golding Housing Project. 

Adam called for a meeting of the heads of all departments and asked Stella to give a brief description of the figures, to which she obliged. After getting done with the discussion, Adam asked the new Vice President, Robert Trent, to look over the project and get in contact with the investors. His Uncle Liam had sent him over from one of his overseas branches. He was one of his trusted men. 

After saying everything that was required to, Adam dismissed everyone. The meeting room was eerily quiet now, with Stella picking up all her paperwork and Adam staring at her. He stood up from his chair and walked towards her taking huge strides. He draped his hand over her shoulder, pulling her close to him. 

"You did a great job, beasty." He said giving the top of her head a light kiss, making Stella blush.

"We are still in the office Adam." She said pushing his hand away.

"But it's only us here, and this room is soundproof." He stated as a matter of fact.

"Yes, but I still have some work to do." She said making a run for the door. But to her misfortune, Adam caught her hand pulling her back into his arms. He picked her up, making her sit on the meeting room's table. 

"Where do you think you are going?" He said, placing both his hand on either side and entrapping her in between them. 

Because of their close proximity, Stella's heart was a mess right now. She couldn't think straight. 

Adam tilted her chin up using his finger and leaned his face in. "God knows how bad I want to kiss you right now." He breathed just before her lips making her eyes widen.

"May I?" He asked for her permission. Stella wanted to say no to him, but his hot breaths striking against her lips made her speechless. The words stopped right at the tip of her tongue. She couldn't bring them out no matter how hard she tried. She looked into his eyes which were brimming with desire, burning her soul. 

Not getting a reply from her, Adam was getting impatient. "Stop me whenever you want to." Saying these words, he smacked his lips against hers, stealing her breath away.

His kiss that started as a soft and slow one, was now getting rougher, wanting more of her. He pried her soft lips open with his tongue. His tongue dove into her mouth, making her close her eyes. 

A strange feeling was spreading through her body, which was new to her. As Adam explored her mouth with his hot tongue, her hands found their way around his neck, holding onto it for some support.

As Adam felt her arms around his neck, his hands moved from the table to her tiny waist and wrapped around it, bringing her body close to his.

He continued sucking onto her lips while his tongue explored every corner of her mouth, stealing her breath away.
