Chapter 21: Sweet as Candy

Josef is sitting in his chair behind his desk in his office making the usual threats to the person on the other end of the phone, if they did not get what he wanted done. Taking a waft of the air, he smiles up as Candice walks into the room. Finishing with another threat, Josef hangs up the phone.

"So how is my sweet Candy today?" Giving one of his million dollar smiles, that would make any girl swoon.

"Okay considering."

"How is Beth doing?"

"She hates this. Not being able to see him or talk to him, it's a pain in the ass. I do have something for you."

Candice pulls out the letter Beth had wrote to Mick and hands it to Josef. He knows what it is and hits the button for one of his men to come in. In seconds David was entering the room quickly, knowing that Josef does not like to be kept waiting.

"Take this to Mick," Josef hands him the letter, which he tucks into his jacket pocket without even looking at it. "Stick around; I am sure Mick will want to respond. Whatever he gives you, bring it straight back here."

David nods and is out the door. Josef knew he could trust him. He had many employees but he had a small bunch that he could trust with anything knowing they were loyal to the core; they were almost friends, if he could just get David and Ryan to stop calling him Mr. Konstantin. Sure it was great, it showed respect and he demanded respect, but when it was just that small group he preferred to be called Josef.

Josef moves to take a seat in his oversized arm chair and motions for Candice to take a seat on his lap. She does so, sauntering up to him and sits in his lap, her back against the chairs arm. Josef trails his hands over her shoulder, caressing her neckline; Candice moves her hair to the side exposing more delicate flesh.

"What happened last night after she left here? I know how the breakup went, I got that part from Mick," Josef questioned focusing on Candice's face not her neck.

Candice explains what Beth had told her happened.



"That was smart thinking with the headphones," Josef gave a slight smile at another thing Beth did that surprised him. "Mick is keeping up appearances brooding about the place, hurt and alone. Would be a great performance if it were that, yes he knows it is only temporary but still that man can be so touchy."

"Do you think they will be able to do this? I mean they both want to but I know Beth and when it comes to him her will power is not all to strong…well more like she cant help herself she just wants him, but who can blame her."

"I will try not to take that personally."

"You know what I mean Josef. You are just as tempting and charming don't worry, your ego can rest assured of that. Its just with love its different."

"I know."

Josef reflects about Sara and his love for her, he knew what Mick was going through all to well. He just hoped he could end it soon. Candice knew what Josef was talking about, since he had told her about Sara. She was one of the people he trusted, she was more than some average freshie, she had a goal in life and this was a job, a job with great perks, that was to get her to her ultimate goal on her own. He respected that about her.

"There has to be a way for them to see each other, talk at least. I don't know if letters are going to be enough."

"Don't worry I have Ryder working on something."

"Beth will be happy to hear that. So do you want a snack or not?" Candice teased giving Josef a sweet smile.

"How can I resist something so sweet?"

With that Josef's fangs extended, his eyes frosted over and he ran his fangs over the crock of her neck, sending shivers of sensation down her spine. Gently licking the spot first he pierces her flesh drinking in her nectar, which was true to his name for her, sweet as Candy. Since he had told her about Sara her blood had something else in it, something new, it was intoxicating. As Josef finished his snack he licked the wounds till they stopped bleeding and saw it in her eyes, understanding.
