Kori couldn't keep the constant blush off her face ever since Richard touched her. He almost had a look of longing in his eyes. She sighed at the thought yet again.
"Is something wrong?" Xavier asked with what sounded like an annoyed tone. Kori smiled and replied
"No I am just having a wonderful evening, thank you very much for asking me to accompany you."
Xavier smirked and said "No problem cutie. I've actually been dying to get you out of the office and to see you loosen up. I like what I see." Xavier smiled when Kori blushed.
"I think we need to loosen you up a little more! I brought you a cocktail." Xavier exclaimed.
Kori looked at him apologetically and replied "I'm sorry but I don't really drink-" Xavier cut her off and said
"It's a party! Live a little!"
Kori hesitantly reached for the glass and tried to take a sip only to have Xavier tip the glass more and caused her to down it all and start choking. A little spilled on her dress which caused her to send a deathly glare at the man smirking at her.
"Excuse me." She said with a tight voice and got up to go to the restroom and clean herself up.
Kori stood in front of the mirror wiping a damp cloth across her chest and dress.
"Ugh I hope this comes off!" She muttered out loud.
Kori was too busy trying to clean her dress off that she didn't hear someone enter the bathroom. She eeped when she felt someone run their hand down her arm.
"Xavier! What are you doing in here?" Kori nearly shouted.
"Why I came in here to see you." Xavier said with a smirk and a wicked glint in his eye that caused Kori to shiver and back away only to run into the sink. Xavier closed the distance and pulled her to him. He bent down to whisper in her ear
"I've been trying to get you alone for a long time now." Kori tried to push him and away but he gripped her arm like a vice which caused her to wince from the pain.
"I'm sorry if I have led you on in anyway but I am not interested in that kind of relationship. Now can you please let go? You are hurting my arm."
Xavier's smirk turned to a deadly serious face and it caused Kori to cringe in fear
"I am not leaving this room without getting what I want." He said through clinched teeth and he suddenly mashed his mouth against hers. Kori gasped and tasted blood from where Xavier caused her lips to be crushed against her teeth. Xavier mistook this gasp as a moan and an invitation to thrust his tongue into her mouth. Kori narrowed her eyes and bit his tongue as hard as she could. Xavier yelled out in pain and then narrowed his eyes.
"You're going to pay for that bitch!" He yelled and then back handed Kori across the face.
Kori could taste more blood in her mouth but before she could do anything else Xavier was pressed up against her. He had his knees spread apart so his legs her on either side of her, trapping her against the sink. It was then that Kori saw her chance and she brought her knee up as hard as she could and felt relief when it connected with Xavier's most private area. He instantly dropped to the ground which gave Kroc a chance to dash away. Xavier was still curled up on the floor when he heard a giggle and the stall door near him open up.
"Let's get you fixed up" the woman said as she wrapped her arms around Xavier.
She was running down the hallway looking over her shoulder towards the bathroom when she collided with someone. Kori shrieked and started blindly swinging her arms when all of a sudden she felt them pinned to her sides. Kori continued to struggle until she heard the voice of a man whom she so longed to hear. She blinked and turned to sobs as Richards face came into view.
"What's wrong Kori?" Richard asked with a worried look on his face.
"J-just please take me away from here" Kori sobbed into his chest. Richard instantly started ushering her towards the hotel elevator. He pushed the penthouse button and gathered his love into a hug. It killed him seeing her like this shaken up and he would make who ever was the cause of this pay dearly. The elevator door opened with a ding and Richard instantly had them moving towards his room. As soon as they were in the room Richard sat Kori down on the bench and ran to get her some water. She shakily took the glass and took a sip. Richard sat next to her and put his arms around her. He started stroking her arm until he noticed her wince. Richard pulled back to look at her arm, his eyes narrowing as he saw a bruise starting to take shape, marring her perfect skin.
"Who did this to you?" Richard demanded in an angry tone only to regret it when he saw Kori cringe.
"Richard please, I do not wish to speak of it now. Can you please go back to holding me?" Kori asked with a small voice.
"Of course" he murmured, pulling her back into his embrace. "I'd do anything for you Kori" Richard whispered.
They sat there for what seemed like an eternity when Richard finally noticed Kori's breathing had steadied and she stopped shaking. He pulled his head back and brought his hand under her chin to bring her head up to face him.
"Feeling better?" Richard asked in almost a whisper
"Yes" Kori simply replied back with a small smile.
Richard was suddenly aware of how close their faces were. He looked into Kori's mesmerizing eyes and felt the world around him disappear. He slowly inched his face closer to hers and finally touched his lips against hers. He felt like he was in heaven until he felt Kori stiffen against him and just like that Richard felt like his whole world was about to come crashing down.
