"Candy-Cane"
It was almost Christmas time at the Sanctuary. And things were always hectic at this time of year for Helen Magnus. She hardly had any time to take a break and take in the mood and cheer of the season. The snow was coming down outside the windows of the sanctuary as she tiredly walked down the hallway to her office. She smiled as she noticed that multicolor Christmas lights had been hung the length of the long hallway as well as ornately decorated wreaths on the walls. She breathed in the fresh scent of pine as she opened the door to her office and stepped in. On her desk was a piping hot cup of tea and a favorite Christmas treat; a chocolate dipped candy-cane sitting beside a note. She sat down and reached for the note as she breathed in the scent of the aromatic herbal tea in front of her. She opened the note and smiled as she read it:
"Please enjoy the tea and candy-cane as thanks for working so hard. Have a deserved break on us."
Sincerely,
Will,Kate,Henry,and Big Guy
Helen brought the tea cup to her lips and gently sipped as she closed her eyes and sat back in her chair. All the stresses of the day seemed to melt away in that moment as she looked out at the winter wonderland outside her window. Helen gingerly twirled the candy-cane in her slim fingers as she breathed in the intoxicating smell of chocolate and peppermint mixed together. She brought the candy-cane to her lips as she leaned back in her chair. Little did she know that someone had been watching silently outside the open office door. Nikola looked on with amusement as he watched Helen run her lips gently across the smooth chocolate surface of the candy-cane. She allowed the chocolate to melt in her mouth as she tasted cool refreshing peppermint peaking from underneath intoxicating chocolate. Nikola heard a slight moan come from her throat as she enjoyed her treat in private. or at least she thought...
Nikola's heart began to quicken and race as he watched her gently nibble her way down the length of the candy-cane. He ran long slim fingers through his thick hair as he tried not to let out a low moan of his own. He was being driven to arousal with every lick or nibble that Magnus made as she enjoyed her treat. He was so enjoying his treat as well as he stood in the doorway with sweat beads cascading down his face. It was becoming unbearable for him to keep control of his desire as a low moan gave away his position at the doorway. Helen swiveled in her chair to see Nikola blushing in the doorway. She set the candy-cane down on the table as she steadily glared at him.
"How long were you watching me?" Helen said as she stood up and walked over to Nikola.
"Well, long enough to become hot and bothered by your ...breaktime...treat...you...missed a spot on your chin..." Nikola smirked as he raised his hand to her soft cheek to wipe away the chocolate.
Helen slowly raised her hand to lower his with a smile as she winked at him playfully.
"How about you take care of it in another way...Nikola" Helen said as she brought herself closer to him and heard his pulse race. Taking in the cool peppermint that lingered on her breath, Nikola brought himself closer and gently placed wet kisses on her chin as he licked the chocolate off and his lips came to rest on hers. They embraced each other in a passionate kiss as they surrendered to the moment and each other's arms. All because of the simplicity of a candy-cane and much needed break-time.
