What you wish for

CHAPTER 8

JAKE I spend the rest of the day with Alice. I gave her cuddles, we talked and I made her dinner. I had to order the wine because Alice didn't have any. Eventually, after I got back to my car I checked my phone. Ten missed calls from Becka and about thirty text messages. Many of them telling me to call her as soon as I got the messages. I called her as soon as I got to my complex. "Jake...." Becka's voice sounded raw, she was crying. Something she never did. "What's going on Becka?" I asked her going into protection mode. "It's Lyda. She has gone missing" I frowned, that was not like Lyda. She was a practical homebody and she never really left her house. Her going missing was new. "Becka, I need you to tell me exactly where you last saw Lyda and what you talked about." Silence. "Becka?" "I'm here" She sniffed. "You're gonna be pissed" I frowned. "Exactly why would I be pissed?" More Silence. "I took Lyda to Darkness" Lyda was a tiger and even though she was shy, she and Becka liked to fool around. Becka taking her to Darkness, means that their relationship must have grown. But if it did, where did Lyda go? "Alright, so you took her to the club. What happened next?" "We had fun, she really started to trust me more as her Dominatrix. We did a bit of soft play. She gave her consent and We worked on a little bit more. One of her limitations is biting, but she wanted me to. How could I refuse? She-" I stopped her right there. "You mated her didn't you" "I didn't think she would take to it. You know the legend. You can't mate another creature unless that creature has some bits of you already in them" I pulled a face that clearly meant, did I really have to ask her that? Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath "Becka did she ever go down on you?" A gasp "Never thought you would ask me something like that?!" I opened my eyes I was walking the length of my bedroom. "It's the only explanation," I told her. "No it's not" A sigh then she gave in. "Fine yes... She did... A few times" "Becka...." "Don't Becka me, she is missing and I need your help. Please" "Alright, but you need to keep sit tight. Go on with your daily life. She might turn up, she might just had a few things she needed to take care of." Silence again and then "Thank you Jake." The phone disconnected and before I could even sleep, I made a few calls. I fell into bed an hour after and tried to fall asleep thinking about Alice and hoping that when I mate with her one day that she wouldn't run the moment she found out.

 ALICE The next morning I woke up before my alarm. I sat in bed and thought about Jake and what we did yesterday. Was I slowly trusting someone for the first time since the incident? The shibari rope was tucked away in my bedside drawer. I would have to get more when I had the chance. When my alarm finally went off I got out of bed, went and put on some water to boil, and went to make my bed. After coffee and a nice shower, I was ready to face the day. Checking my phone on the way to the bus, I smiled brightly.Good Morning Babe Have a wonderful day back at work. -J I send him a message back. Good Morning handsome Thank you, please have a wonderful day as well. -Alice  I placed my phone in my jacket pocket and enjoyed the silence of the early morning bus. Later that morning after a few meetings about the new comics I was back at my work Cubicle. For a Monday it really felt rushed. I layed my head on the scathing pad I used and took a deep breath. "Miss Barthélemy" I cringed at my surname and looked up. I smelled food, I didn't order food. I looked at the young Asian man standing in front of my Cubicle. "That's me yes?" He held out a bag with what looked like two boxes. "Delivery" He handed me the bag and bowed. "Uh, shouldn't I pay you?" He shook his head. "Already paid, no need" As he walked away my phone ringed. Jake. "Hi" I answered happily. "Alice, how's the day going?" my heart skipped a beat. "Going well, somebody sent me food" "Oh good it arrived. I was afraid that it would not be on time" I opened the two boxes inside the bag and I got a sniff of the honey. "Sweet beef strips and noodles," He told me. "It smells amazing. Thank you for lunch" "It's a pleasure. I will be picking you up from work later. The company closes at five?" he questioned. "4:30. But close enough" I laughed. "I wish I could have to spend lunch with you. But I have a meeting in five" I almost pouted. I would have loved to spend time with him. We said goodbye and I ate lunch at my cubicle. About an hour before closing for the day I heard someone approaching my cube I looked up a lady was staring at me, almost in a trans. "Can I help you?" I asked. "Careful what you wish for" She spoke like someone who was in a trans as well. "Uh.. huh? Sorry, but do you want me to call you somebody to come and fetch you?" She shook her head her blond curls bouncing as she did. Her gray eyes were different from what I have seen on anybody else before. "No... Just be careful" She walked away and I tan after her. I missed her just as the ding of the elevator closed the door. The girl tilted her head and all I could see was this creepy smile on her face. For the rest of the hour, I couldn't work, I felt like she would show up any moment and give me the same words. A shiver ran down my spine as I placed everything away. It was probably somebody who had shrooms in them. Nobody in their right mind would wandering into such a huge building and tell a random woman, she should be careful what she wished for. I arrived at the elevator once more on closing time deep in thought. When it dinged and opened I jumped, when I saw he stepped out of it I gave a breath of relief. "You alright?" He took me into his arms and held me tight. Hugging me. I hugged him back, feeling so small in his arms. I shook my head slightly. "Just jumpy is all" He let me go and took my hand. We walked into the elevator, when it closed I looked up at him. The idle conversation was never fun so I caved and told him. "So I had an interesting afternoon. A lady walked into the office and just spat out a random sentence at me" Jakes grip tightened around mine. "She didn't hurt you did she?" I shook my head, the concern and tightness made me a little nervous. "I think she was just high on shrooms or something. She didn't even talk sense" I looked up, his glasses were tucked into his Jacket and his green eyes looked down at me. "Jake I'm fine, she was probably a nut case anyways. That blond hair and gray eyes... She probably escaped and wandered into our building" I tried to set his mind at ease. But what I just told him made his Jaw tight. "Jake... What's wrong?" He pulled me in front of him and kept me extremely close. With his other hand, he called a number. "Becka she is alive"
