A Hostile Takeover
Part 8
Sarah came out of the shower and D was gone from the bed. She immediately panicked, ran across the landing and down the stairs. She heard something in the kitchen and rushed across the hall and in through the door.
D was walking towards her holding two mugs. Sarah was flustered and breathing heavily.
"Sarah! What on earth is the matter," D said, putting down the cups on the table and holding out her arms.
Sarah rushed into them and they hugged.
"I came out of the bathroom and you were gone!" Sarah said, still breathing heavily and her chest now pounding.
"Calm down, calm down now, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere."
D took Sarah's shoulders and parted their embrace slightly to look at her face. Some tears ran down Sarah's cheeks.
"It's ok, Angel," she said, wiping the tears from Sarah's face.
"Ahw....Don't worry, I'm not running off anywhere."
She pulled Sarah back into the embrace, rubbing her hand on her back. D felt Sarah's stiff, erect nipples pressing hard into her chest.
"Sit down and have some tea, Angel. Try to relax a little."
"We haven't done much talking yet have we, just fucking really."
Sarah laughed through her tears.
"Yes," she said, a little calmer now.
They drank some tea.
"Ok, Sarah listen to me."
"Firstly, if I'm going somewhere, I'll tell you, ok. Also, I'll tell you when I'll be back, alright."
"Secondly, I'll give you my mobile number, and you can call me anytime you like. How's that."
Sarah leaned in and kissed her on the lips, her tears slowly drying.
"Ok" Sarah replied"
"Good"
"I'm just so confused at the moment with what's happening in my life and my body is also well.. erm.."
D stopped her.
"I understand completely Angel. Don't worry, we're gonna talk some things through today. We have a lot to cover so we'll start slowly. I promise in a day or two, you'll understand a lot more of what's happening to you. Ok."
"Yes, thank you, D."
"Don't thank me yet angel, it's not all good news, but it's not all bad either," she said smiling.
Oh, and don't blame me, ok. I'm just a messenger. We're all just pieces on the chessboard in this at the minute."
"I won't blame you, I promise." Sarah replied.
They finished their tea and when Sarah was sufficiently calmer, D began.
"Ok. Someone is coming over shortly to bring me some clothes and things and I'll be staying here with you. Is that ok?
Sarah beamed a huge smile back at D.
"I'll take that as a yes then," they both laughed.
"Carl is going to be delayed abroad so you can stay as long as you like."
"Ok then. But a lot will depend on you, Angel."
"Ok," Sarah said, a little bemused.
"Now, when you came and we met at Matt's London apartment, did your husband know you were there that night?"
"No."
"Ok, so you haven't told him about us or what happened with Matt in the restaurant and then in the apartment."
"No"
Sarah wondered how D knew about the restaurant.
"Will you be telling him?"
"Erm... I don't think so, No."
Sarah was confused.
"Would he be ok if he found out you were having an affair?"
"I'm not having an affair," Sarah said, a little sharply.
"Well.., erm.., I mean...I'm, Not with Matt, anyway!"
D Smiled at her.
"If your husband gets videos or pictures of you and me, or you and Matt, tomorrow, how will that go down?"
"Erm.....I don't know. Ok, I guess,.. maybe!" Sarah said defensively."
"Ok let me get this straight. Your husband would be ok with you fucking his boss while he was away working and having an affair with another woman, would he?"
"I didn't say that!"
There was a brief silence between them.
"No. He wouldn't be ok."Sarah said.
D patted her on the thigh in a confirmatory, but comforting way.
"But Matt.." D stopped her.
"Let me finish Angel. You can ask me questions after, but I'll tell you right now, I don't have all the answers you need, ok. I'm just trying to help you lover."
"Yes, I'm sorry D, I know, thank you.
"Ok. Now, you're sitting here today because Matt wants it. I'm sitting here today because Matt wants it. Now don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be here with you, Angel, and if Matt wasn't in charge I'd be here today anyway."
Sarah smiled warmly at D.
"But if Matt wanted me to go right now, I'd be gone. I wouldn't have a choice in it, and I'd probably never be allowed to see you again."
Sarah's smile deserted her a little.
"I just wouldn't have a choice. Do you understand that?"
"I think so."
"So, I've had a fantastic time being with you Sarah. I've loved every second of it. Your a beautiful, sexy, sensual lover and a tremendous fuck."
Sarah felt so emotional and rushed into D's embrace kissing her passionately. They kissed for about a minute or so before parting. Sarah desperately wanted to tell her she loved her but knew it wouldn't be right, for many reasons. Sarah was still horny and her nipples protruded stiffly from beneath her silk robe.
"Ok," D said, clearing her throat a little.
"Who do you think is responsible for us being together the for last couple of days?"
Sarah tried to separate the sexual feelings in her mind for a moment.
"Erm... Matt, I guess."
"Ok, so why is your husband abroad right now?
There was a slight pause.
"Because Matt wants him there?"
"Yes, Angel.
"Now who is in charge of this whole situation do you think Sarah?" D put her hand back on Sarah's thigh.
Sarah pushed her hair back off her face and thought!
"Matt?"
"Exactly."
"Now, Matt is a very powerful man Sarah. More powerful than you could ever imagine. He has the power to make you or break you, and I'm serious, Sarah. We can all be crushed at will if he wants. Matt owns the fucking chessboard, ok, Angel."
"Now for some good news. It seems Matt likes you. Therefore, you're on his team. I'm on his team too, ok."
She smiled at Sarah and she smiled back.
"If we all do as we're told then we'll all be ok."
"Right, now I know it's hard to take this all in but, the bottom line is, you must play by the rules, Sarah."
"If you think you can beat him you're wrong. If you think you can call the police on him. You're wrong. Your situation will worsen and so will that of the people around you, and that includes me."
"Now, you probably think he has no hold over you. Or maybe not much. Let me dispel that notion for you. We wouldn't be sitting here now, having this conversation, if you weren't already in serious difficulty. It could be financial or emotional, it could be family or friends, I don't know. Suffice to say, and for the purposes of this conversation, if you are asked to do something, just do it. However bad it might feel or however much you don't want to, just do it. That's my advice to you right now. The consequences of not doing it are far greater. Please trust me on this, Angel."
"Lastly, this is new for you angel and you'll make mistakes whilst you learn the ropes. Mistakes will always be punished and you will not like the punishment, but allowance will be made for inexperience or even a little stupidity. But be careful and try your best at all times."
"I have to ask you this one, Angel. Do you understand and are you able to play by the rules."
"I'm frightened D, there was a silence for a moment.
"But, I think I understand and I'm not sure I have a choice, do I?"
"I think those are good answers, Angel.
Right, that's enough dark stuff for the moment. We'll come back to this later, ok."
"Yes," Sarah replied.
Now I told you about the serum, you remember?
"Yes."
"It's called Flare, and it's the most amazing thing ever inverted. It belongs to Matt and nobody else has it or anything similar."
"It's totally organic and completely harmless, after five days it's purged from your body completely. It's best between day one and day three and then it starts to degrade slightly on day four and five."
"Erm... you first had some last Saturday I think or maybe a few days before. Does that sound right?"
Sarah thought about last Saturday's threesome, and maybe D was right, even a few days before.
"Yes, maybe."
"Ok well, that would have been mixed into your drinks or food I expect. That won't happen again. You'll have your own supply and you may do with it as you wish, but you will not tell another living soul about it. Is that clear,"
"Yes D."
"Ok, you are currently on day three, I think, so I'd suggest you take some and restart your 5 days. What do you think?"
"Erm... are you taking some with me?"
"Yes, Angel, we'll be doing a lot of things together this week."
D lent in and pecked her on the lips and Sarah smiled.
"Plus, I absolutely love it too," D said, laughing
D put a little water into two glasses and handed Sarah a tiny glass tube with a red top. D twisted the top off and tipped the drops into the water. Sarah followed suits and they drank them together.
"It only takes about 15 minutes for it to be fully active."
"Ok, Sarah, here's the last thing for today. You have a test this afternoon."
"A test?"
"To show that you understand your new situation and prove that I'm doing a good job. This is important for you and me, Angel. I can be easily replaced here if it's thought I'm not doing a good job of your induction."
Sarah was shocked and a little panicky.
"She Couldn't go through this without D," she thought.
D lifted her hand to Sarah's chin and lifted it slightly upward.
"Don't worry you'll be fine, I trust you," and she kissed her sweetly.
