A/N – Sorry about the wait, I've been on a cruise and they charged ridiculous prices for the internet so I decided I could wait a couple days.
"The rooms are all designed the same so it's just a matter of location on where you want to live."-Jyabura explained. "While you work here, you'll probably be doing less secretarial work and more basic housekeeping. Kalifa was managing it until we hired someone (Jyabura nods at Cara without turning around). But first of all, she can't make coffee for the life of her, and second, ever since she got her devil's fruit, she has been obsessed with cleanliness and we all have quite a bit of bruises from the first room inspections she did to prove it."
Cara chuckled at the thought. 'This guy's kinda hot if I do say so myself, well so were the others I guess, it's just they're not here for… inspection.' -she wondered as she followed Jyabura though the seemingly endless hallways, eyeing his toned back when he wasn't looking; signs of extensive training were visible, if the large muscle mass was any clue. 'I bet the front provides an even better view' they had already passed the break room, before she realized she had been daydreaming of Jyabura topless, the only reason she had stopped was because she noticed Jyabura had been looking at her curiously while Cara's eyes roamed over his body. "See anything you like? You know… sometimes, we're given missions where we have to, ah… seduce our target. It's always fun"- He smiled wolfishly as Cara blushed at the continued hints of the man's "night" life but managed to keep walking behind him. The break room, filled with a couple couches, 2 TVs, and a massive kitchen appeared to be the room where the least time was spent, if the dust bunnies forming on the game stations meant anything. On the floor above that was the gym which the entire company seemed to take a little bit too seriously, the gym alone contained equipment worth well over 100 million beli, one of the most expensive rooms in the entire tower. Currently they were on the third floor where Jyabura's garden was located. 'At least he does something aside from killing people, although it's still a strange pass-time.'
Noticing Cara's raised eyebrow when they walked by the doors to the garden, Jyabura grinned awkwardly "Everyone needs a hobby, right?"
"Alright, alright, I'll take it. So, please explain the pajamas even though it's only…7 PM?" She said, nodding towards Jyabura's clothes; a set of tight fitting Wool pants(which did wonders to frame his legs) and a shirt consisting of little wolves chasing after fat sheep, as the little scenes got closer to his neckline, the closer the wolves got until finally, there was a disturbingly gory depiction of the wolf catching the sheep.
"After about 7 interviews consisting of applicants going wide-eyed at the truth of company, then disappearing when they ask for a 'quick bathroom break' I kinda gave up hope on day 1"-He grinned slightly, pulling at his neck awkwardly.
"So I was actually the first one to not chicken out?"
Jyabura nodded while he walked next to her up the stairs leading to the final floor. "Yea, I mean, I don't get why they all freaked out so much, all they be doing is making meals and cleaning the main rooms, it's not like they'd actually have to train with us or anything." Reaching the top of the stairs, he stopped and turned to Cara. "Okay, this is the dorm area, you can take any room you want except for those that are taken, obviously"-He smiled gesturing down the hallway, holding at least 14 doors.
"What's up with the all the rooms? Did you bring your families with you?"-She laughed upon seeing the amount of rooms available for her to choose.
"You never know who's going to knock on your door these days."-He grinned.
Cara jokingly put on a sad face, pouting slightly. Doing her best to look injured she sniffled a bit "Are you saying that I'm an unwelcome guest? And here I thought, I'd be a helpful member of the team" –she said, loosening her scarf to wipe a fake tear, exposing her cleavage at the same time.
"Of course not, you see, with there being more men than women, it makes it a little awkward for some of us. Think of yourself as a welcome distraction, not an unwelcome guest. "-He smirked while awkwardly looking for something else to stare at, eyes darting from the walls which were completely blank, to his shoes.
Cara giggled slightly at this, making her strawberry locks falling down her shoulders look natural. "Was that… a compliment? Oh my, are you flirting with me Mr. Jyabura?"- She whispered with the widest eyes she could make without bursting out laughing. "Oh, this is all happening so fast, I don't know what to say. I'm flattered, but really, you don't think I'm that pretty, do you?"
Jyabura licked his lips, trying to look cool. "Well, flirting would imply that I view you as hot or… attractive, and considering the fact that I am a straight man… Yes you could take it that way, now, just pick a room and we'll finish up the day, okay?"
Cara, being taken aback by the man's honesty, began blushing furiously, which she then attempted to cover up by turning her face. 'I will not lose this game to him.' "Well which room is yours? I want to know if I have one of my night terrors, I'll be able to find a big… strong… man to help me"-she whispered, taking in a deep breath with each of the last words while slowly dragging a finger along her cleavage. "I take it the door that smells strongly of wet dog is yours?" She grinned and proceeding to walk towards said door.
Jyabura placed his arm against the wall, blocking off the door while effectively pinning her to the wall also. "Yes, that is mine. Now, unless you want a personal tour, how about you pick a room and we can finish the night?
Seeing an opportunity while both of Jyabura's arms blocked her from moving, she moved forward sinuously, pressing her body to his and leaning up to his ear to whisper-"Oh, well I don't know… I don't think I'll be able to sleep alone, my first night in a new place… And it would so terrible if I failed to get enough sleep in order to function properly for my first day of… work" She put extra emphasis on the word 'work', letting her breaths tickle the hairs on his neck.
Jyabura's chest rumbled, sounding almost like a growl, which then turned into a dark chuckle as he proceeded to pick up a surprised Cara, who let out a very unladylike yelp, and carried her into his room instead. Carrying her bridal style as he walked over to his bed, a messy affair of brown and black blankets, he dropped her ungraciously onto the bed and continues to undress himself, Cara all the while watching with wide eyes absorbing every detail of his body. When he got to his boxers thought, he grinned and stopped. "It would be bad if our new employee were too sore to work on her first day of work" Cara pouted when she realized that the show was over but then noticed he was probably right. Jyabura slipped into the bed as she finished taking off her skirt, now in only her bra and panties, pulling the blanket over both of them and draping his arm over her.
"I guess you're right, not like I wanted to do anything of that sort with a dog like you"- she said as she moved closer to him, making herself as warm as possible by the strange heat the man put off.
"Is that so?"-He replied, smiling as he continued to pull Cara into almost a bear hug as he closed his eyes, letting out a contented sigh as he did. -"Well, we'll have to change that, or things would be awkward around here."
Cara allowed herself a yawn as she closed her eyes. She turned around slowly to hug the toned pillow as sleep began to take her.
A/N – I know, I'm being a tease. But I like to think of it as a way to grab more readers :).
