My Jaded Sanity (Bdsm)

New Arrival.

Whatever, I mean: it's just a phrase, there's no meaning to it... is there?

I head out to get the coffees when I see a poster plastered against a billboard. 'Delario Karma Will Get You' written in big bold letters, what the fuck. I'm sure that by now that place should be shut down. My breathing becomes heavy and I feel light headed; somewhat stumbling I reach Starbucks.

I go in and order Alec his usual and myself a strong latte. My mind needs to be business orientated now; I have a job and I just need to do it.

Reaching my floor I see Alec in my office with... Someone. "Thanks Perry, this is Ryker Radly , he's here to help you out a bit" anger infuriates every bone in my body, "I don't need help!" I say standing my ground. "Perry it's just untill you get back on your feet, you'll still get full pay" pay isn't my problem, this Ryker guy is. "Seriously Mr Harwel I can manage" i say remembering that I have to remain professional, "Extra help, less to do, full wage, what's the problem Perry?", "Alec I thought you were my 'friend', you should understand that I like working independently" he sighs and rubs his head, "Listen, just try it for a month, see how it works, if not then Ryker goes somewhere else, okay?" a spec of sense coming out of him. I give up "Yeah, fine" I say sighing in defeat, "Perry I'm doing it for your welfare, remember that" he says rubbing my arm, "Okay, when does the Woodley meeting start?" I say trying to brush off the irritation "in 20 minuits, see you then" " okay" Alec turns to Ryker "I wouldn't suggest pissing her off, she'll bite your head off" Ryker looks at me and smirks.

Alec leaves us to it. My desk has been moved near the door and I see the new flatpack one of his and a box of his stuff. "Hi I'm Ryker" he says with a grin on his face. "Perry" I say hoping for no longer conversation. "I think your boss has a thing for you" he says chuckling, "haha he's my boss, I doubt that" he looks up at me "Well can't blame him if he does" okay thats borderline pervy. I blank him and head over to the I.T room; I can't be in this room. As I walk I spot that part of the interior in the lounge has changed: it's all, red, black and white.

It's odd; I remember that room. Detective Cartson should have found something by now.

I unlock the cabinet and pull out my laptop. "Perry, just the girl I was looking for" I look up to see Bella, perky eyes and vivid auburn curls. "Hay Bella, what's up" she bites her lip "this Ryker guy, he's hot" typical "not really" her eyes widen "oh my, Perry your single! have fun, get your mind off Diego" shame; already done that. "Okay, I really have to go to a meeting", "fine, but we need a catch up, coffee after work?", "Yeah, guess so".

I walk into the meeting room to find Alec on his own, "what's with the decoration in the lounge?" I question, quivering, "Oh Ryker thought it would lift the work environment, he's a nice guy" Oh.. Ryker.

Ryan Delle walks into the room: considering he's in his 20's he's got a lot going for him; several companies, hell of a lot of cars and he's filthy rich: the many perks of being born with a silver spoon in your mouth. "Good morning Mr Delle, how are you?" Alec questions pleasantly, "not too bad thank you besides the fact that you want my publishing company: Teal Sudden. Ryan raises his eyebrows: "so what so you propose"... for another twenty or so minuits I take notes on Ryan being an ass and Alec's persuasive techniques.

Finally when it's over I head to my office to find Ryker's desk facing mine. Wow; this doesn't look like my office at all anymore. "wow, this is different" I say sighing, "yeah, I'm not taking up too much space am I?" he questions innocently, I decide to shut off my hard ego and be pleasant. "No not at all" he looks up and smiles: I can see where Bella was coming from, he was sort of hot.

"So what do you need doing Ms Lacen" he says getting up and walking to my desk. "hmm.. 50 copies of these notes, the photocopier is just over there" he gets the notes joyfully and strolls to the machine. "Umm. how do.. " before he can finish his sentence I get and sort it out for him. "you put then here, then press that okay" he chuckles "wow, who knew photocopying is so complicated" I giggle as I reach for the paper my breasts graze his torso. "oh, so-" "sorry" both back away awkwardly.

For the remainder of the day I'm out and in, finishing up paperwork etc... I decide to go for coffee with Bella tomorrow.

I look at my phone: 3 missed calls of of Detective Cartson and 4 off of an unknown number.

Something was up.
