Bo dangled from the pipe that hung over head. Every inch of her was in pain and Lauren was far from being done with her. Bo watched as Lauren brought the belt around and she closed her eyes tightly before the leather strap made contact with the now highly sensitive flesh of her thighs. Tears came to Bo's eyes, and though she tried not to, she cried out in pain. She felt Lauren grip her chin tightly and hiss, "Look at me Bo." Bo kept her eyes closed and Lauren demanded, "Open your fucking eyes." Bo slowly opened her eyes and the sadistic grin on Lauren's face turned her on yet at the same time she wanted to break free and dish out the same punishment to the woman. "You aren't the person you want everyone to think you are. You have faults, you have secrets...You are nothing more than a pathetic, scared, useless human being who has to step on others to get what she wants."

Bo started to laugh. It was a crazy maniacal laugh that reverberated off the walls of the room that they were in. She narrowed her eyes at Lauren and sneered, "Eat me."

Lauren softly laughed then walked over to her wall of torture devices and Bo nervously swallowed as she watched as Lauren pulled down the studded paddle from the hook it was hanging on. When she walked back towards Bo the sadistic grin on Lauren's face had gotten bigger and she softly fingered the metal studs on the paddle, "Let's see who's laughing after this."

Bo just gave Lauren a challenging smile then Lauren walked behind her and before she did whatever move she was about to make Lauren grabbed onto Bo's hair then pulled her head back. Lauren traced the outside of her ear with the tip of her tongue then roughly bit her earlobe before she hotly whispered against it, "Say the word and this can stop Bo."

Bo looked up at Lauren with a defiant look on her face and she slowly drawled out, "Eat. Me. Lauren."

Lauren abruptly shoved her head away and Bo dropped her chin to her chest smiling as she waited for Lauren's response. The studded side of the paddle bit into the delicate skin of her ass and Bo howled out in pain.

Bo shot up in bed as she woke up from the vivid dream. She frantically looked around and Bo realised that she wasn't in the room that Lauren had tortured her in. She ran her hand through her hair and let out a heavy sigh as she glanced at the clock. It was six in the morning. Bo fell back against the pillow. What Lauren had done to her three nights ago had stuck with her and she wanted more. She wanted it just as bad as she wanted coke. Bo pulled the blanket over her head and tried to go back to sleep. She had to be up early so she could go into the office and meet with the new client Josh had dropped on her the other day. In the last few days Bo had tried to set up appointments with Lauren, but each time she did the receptionist always told her that Lauren wasn't taking any appointments. Bo thought it was bull shit. Bo took a deep breath and resigned to the fact that she wouldn't be going back to sleep. She got up then headed into the bathroom and as she walked into the room she got a glimpse of her body in the mirror as she passed. There were still some marks on her from Lauren's punishment and the fading marks served as a reminder of the pain she had endured. Bo continued to stare at herself in the mirror. She had never experienced something so pleasurable, but at the same time it was also the worse pain she had ever felt. Parts of her still ached, but at the same time she was dying for more it and more than anything she wanted more of Lauren's dominant side.

As she got into the shower she thought about the blonde. The woman wasn't as passive as she seemed to be on the outside. No she had a dangerous edge to her that attracted Bo even more and she wanted to know why someone who seemed to be so docile was in a gig like that. But it was something that worked for Bo. She got out the shower then headed into her closet so she could get dressed in some jeans and a t-shirt. Bo headed downstairs to the living room and she sat down on the white leather couch. She leaned forward to pull the small wooden box on the glass table closer to her then she took out her phone and dialled a number. While the phone rang Bo opened the box and dipped her finger into it then rubbed some of the white substance onto her gums. The line was picked up and she told the person who picked up, "Hi there I'd like to have a cleaning lady come over in about an half hour. Preferably blonde with light brown eyes." The operator told her that there was a woman nearby who could be there in twenty. Bo was preparing lines of coke on the glass top of her coffee table and she grinned, "Good. And quick question, how aggressive is she?" The operator gave her the answer she was looking for and Bo smiled, "Excellent." She hung up the phone and tossed it on the spot next to her then she leant forward to snort up one of the two neat little white lines.

The alarm went off and Lauren pulled the power cord from the wall then threw the clock across the room. She pulled the covers over her head and she brought her knees to her chest. She had gone into either of her jobs for the last three days. Lauren couldn't psychoanalyse others when she was barely there mentally. And she couldn't assume her dominant role because she was afraid of losing control and breaking the club's core values of providing a safe and clean experience. Lauren felt Tamsin stir next her and she closed her eyes tighter as she hoped that the other woman would get up and leave her alone. Things were tense between them because Lauren was having what some would consider a mental breakdown, but the doctor wouldn't dare call it that nor would she want to go get help. Lauren felt Tamsin scoot closer to her and she took a silent breath as she repeated in her head to relax.

Tamsin could tell Lauren was withdrawing from her, but the more important question was the why. Lauren and her had been in a good place before Lauren's appointment a few days earlier. And thinking something had happen Tamsin had tried to retrieve the footage for that particular appointment, but the camera had been shut off. She immediately fired the receptionist that was on duty that night for that critical slip-up in security. Tamsin had tried asking Lauren about the appointment and what was wrong with her, but the woman hadn't been forthcoming with any details about the appointment then Lauren had told her that she wasn't feeling well. And Tamsin would have believed it, but Lauren looked so haunted and was so distant that the taller blonde knew otherwise which made her nervous. Tamsin was starting to think that Lauren knew about her and Evony, but she knew that was impossible because unless Evony invited them to something she and Lauren never came into contact with each other. Tamsin kissed Lauren's shoulder and softly said, "I don't think the clock deserved to be assaulted for doing its job."

Lauren forced out a laugh. It sounded cold and hollow. She continued to lay on her side not looking at Tamsin. Lauren took a deep breath then asked, "Are you going into the restaurant today or are you going to the club?"

Tamsin's eyebrow arched up as she quickly asked, "Trying to get rid of me already?"

Yes Lauren was, but instead she said, "No I'm not. I wanted to see what you would be up to today."

Tamsin studied Lauren's back as she bit her bottom lip. There was no way Lauren knew, but at the same time the way she was acting was making Tamsin think otherwise. Tamsin got up and remarked, "It doesn't matter what I'll be up to today." She stopped for a second as she thought about how she was going to figure out what Lauren knew. Then she continued, "I don't care if you go into your day job today, but you do have another job and you need to show up to it tonight."

Lauren sat up and looked at Tamsin, "I am not going in tonight."

"I don't give a fuck Lauren. You have clients that have been asking for you and you're costing us money. And when that happens I feel it from those that are in charge." Tamsin shot back as she headed into the bathroom.

Lauren got up and followed Tamsin into the bathroom and she argued, "And I don't give a fuck what you feel from those that are in charge. I'm not going to be a risk to our clients just because you're worried about getting paid."

Tamsin turned around from the shower and looked at Lauren with a curious expression on her face, "Why would you be a risk for our clients Lauren?"

Lauren realised her slip up and she clenched her jaw. She had let Tamsin goad her into an argument and she ended up revealing too much. Lauren shook her head and offhandedly said, "It doesn't matter Tamsin. I'm working through it."

Tamsin walked closer to Lauren. She was concerned about what Lauren was going through. Tamsin brushed a strand of hair out of Lauren's face and asked, "Baby you got to tell me what's wrong. If you don't I won't be able to help you."

Tears started to come to Lauren's eyes and she looked into Tamsin's blue ones softly admitting, "You won't be able to help Tamsin."

Lauren walked out of the bathroom and away from Tamsin. She quickly got dressed then left their house. Lauren didn't know where she was going to go so early in the morning, but she knew she had to get out of that house and away from Tamsin. After Lauren left Tamsin took a quick shower then headed to the building where the club was. Once she was there and in her office Tamsin brought up the credit card information for Lauren's last client. The credit card associated with the client had only been used twice at the club and no other form of payment had been used by the client previously. Tamsin then brought up the client's information and she called the number on the paperwork. The phone rang a few times then went straight to voicemail and Tamsin left a message stating that she needed to get some updated payment information because the last payment hadn't gone through. She leaned back in her office chair. It was a bullshit excuse, but it was one that would work because most people would want their deviant secrets to remain quiet no matter the cost.

Bo walked past the receptionist desk feeling like a million dollars. She had spent the early part of the morning with the escort that she hired and even though the woman was aggressive, she just wasn't Lauren aggressive. And it was after Bo had thoroughly fucked the woman did she realise that no one would compare to Lauren and that made her more determined to get the blonde. As she walked back to her office Josh quickly walked up next to her and in low voice he urgently asked, "Where the fuck have you been? You're fifteen minutes late."

Bo gave the man a smug smile, "Don't get your panties in a twist Joshie. Is the client still here?" The man nodded his head nervously, "Then the rest will be fine. You go count your pile of money somewhere and I'll make you some more okay?"

They got to the glass double doors of Bo's office and as she looked through them she saw who was waiting for her. Josh gave her an awkward pat on the shoulder and she glared at him before he commented, "If it were anyone else Bo I would have fired you a long time ago, but you're damn good at what you do."

Bo grinned and said, "Damn right. So run along so I can do what I'm so good at." He gave her slight nod before he walked off. Bo took a deep breath and shook her head. Her day was about to go downhill in a blazing inferno. She opened the door and walked in saying, "The whole time Tamsin and I dated I never knew who the fuck you were. But since this whole Dyson incident I've seen you more times than I would like." Bo closed the blinds for her office.

Evony turned around from the window that she was looking out of and she got a playful smile on her face, "But you knew about Tamsin and I Bo. And on many occasions I asked her to have you to join, but you know Tamsin." Evony's smile grew wider, "She's a bit territorial."

Bo walked over to the cart that was against the right wall and poured herself a glass of scotch as she softly chuckled, "Yeah I know. I got a several bruised ribs that reminded me of that." Bo turned to look at the woman, who was wearing a form fitting black skirt with a red silk blouse, and asked the irritation evident in her voice, "What the hell are you doing here Evony?"

Bo took a drink from her crystal tumbler, but she watched over the rim of the glass as Evony slinked over to her. The cleaning lady made a good appetizer and Evony would make a decent meal. And even though she wasn't the filet mignon Bo was looking for she still was a good choice of meat. When Evony was close enough to her there was barely an inch of space between them. The woman reached up and softly ran her finger down the exposed part of Bo's chest that was showing because the top two buttons of her blouse were undone. Evony bit her lip then she looked up at Bo with a seductive look in her eye and smirked, "You and I have something in common and I think we can help each other."

Bo sceptically arched her eyebrow, "Oh really?"

"Yeah. You see Tamsin has become someone I don't like because of that irritating blonde she's with." Evony grinned as the look in Bo's eyes darkened. She took the drink out of Bo's hand then took a sip from it, "Calm down sweetie I'm not after the therapist."

"Therapist?" Bo asked. She didn't let her confusion show outwardly, but she most definitely was because she thought Lauren was a full-time dominatrix. This added more intrigue to the woman and Bo desperately wanted to figure out the puzzle that was Lauren.

Evony grinned at Bo's question. She could see the woman was deep in thought and she nonchalantly confirmed, "Yes she's a therapist." Evony could tell Bo wanted more from her, but Bo didn't ask her a question so she continued, "And like said I'm not after the therapist."

Bo took her drink back and turned away from Evony so she could fill her glass with more scotch. As she did she remarked, "No you're not. You're after Tamsin." Bo turned around and took a healthy drink from her glass then she rested the edge of it against her lip as she regarded Evony wondering what her motive was. Evony was getting irritated by the cocky look on Bo's face and she was ready to tell the woman off, but Bo moved the glass and postulated, "You've known Tamsin longer than I have and quite possibly have been fucking her longer than that, but now you're intervening. Using me to destroy her relationship for what reason? And don't bullshit me Evony if you want my help."

Evony softly snorted and stepped away from Bo so she could make herself a drink. If Bo wanted the truth then she would give it to her. Bo wasn't a bullshitter and she liked that about the woman along with the fact that she didn't give a shit most of the time. Evony stabbed two olives with a glass pick and divulged, "I didn't intervene when you two were together because you weren't loyal. Even when you were clean you were an arrogant asshole who only looked out for herself, but with the coke it's just amplified. How's that little habit going by the way?"

Bo slowly ran her tongue across her teeth then commented, "It's nothing that concerns you."

"The therapist isn't going to give you the time of day if you don't sober up, but then again I don't care as long as you accomplish what I need you to do." Evony took a drink from her glass then said, "And the reason why I'm intervening now is because Tamsin was loyal to one person. Me, but her being involved with the irritating therapist is causing that to shift."

Bo had to chuckle because she didn't think Evony was one to care about loyalty. Bo assumed the woman thought people were disposable and could be replaced at the snap of her fingers. She walked over to her desk and she bent down to unlock the bottom drawer and as she did she commented, "Evony if I didn't know any better I would have to say that you actually care about Tamsin."

Bo stood and up and placed the small, elegant wooden box on her desk and Evony eyed it then shook her head. Bo really did enjoy her nose candy. Evony walked over to the couch in Bo's office and after she sat down she crossed her legs at the ankles before she pointed out, "Caring about someone and appreciating their loyalty are two different things." Evony smirked, "I thought you would understand that."

Bo took out the mirror that she had in the box then the small bag of coke and as she carefully poured some on the mirror she scoffed, "I understand that I don't give a shit about either. I only care and trust one person. Myself. I don't give a fuck about what other people have to offer."

Bo sounded so sure and certain of herself that Evony couldn't resist the temptation to provoke her, "Even a particular blonde that you got your ass kicked for?"

Bo was focused on cutting her coke up into two neat little lines then she stopped. Her hand hovered above the mirror. It was a brief moment of hesitation and then she went back to cutting up her coke as she coldly remarked, "The blonde is a conquest and nothing more. I want to fuck her into oblivion and then throw her away." Bo looked up at Evony with a pointed look, "Nothing about that pertains to loyalty or caring for the blonde." Bo picked up the metal tube that was in the box and she snorted one line then the other. Lauren was a puzzle to her which made her dangerous, but Bo took that to mean a dangerous challenge. She gently wiped at her nose then she took a deep breath as she leaned back in the leather chair. Bo was certain about one thing though she wanted the blonde and she would do whatever it took to have her. For the first time since seeing Bo face to face Evony wasn't certain if Bo was serious or not. Bo stared up at the ceiling as she slowly started to feel the coke take over. "Now Evony what is my role in this sadistic plan you're formulating?"

Evony got up and walked over to Bo's desk. She hopped up on the edge of the desk making her sure her skirt rode up a little to give Bo a nice view. She crossed her legs and leaned back on her hands, "As you can tell I have taken some of my assets and brought them over to your firm. I want you to solely deal with my financial portfolio because I know you have some contacts that would be beneficial for me. Also Vex told me you want in on what Dyson was doing." Evony paused then asked, "Are you ready for this?"

Bo was more than ready. She knew about the club thanks to Kenzi's little gift and now she was going to find out about Dyson's role. Bo brought her head down and she took her time as her eyes slowly looked up Evony's body. When their eyes met Bo gave Evony a satisfied smirk, "And what was our boy Dyson involved with Evony?"

Evony grinned and she bluntly told her, "He was the other financer of an S&M service that I opened up with Vex. He paid Vex a million every six months to keep it operational. It's not entirely legal, but then again most people think it's a massage parlour. But, and here's the important thing, the service is a front that I need to keep going."

Bo was even more intrigued. She leant forward in her chair and as she did so Bo reached out to let her hand lightly glide up the smooth skin of Evony's leg. As her hand moved up she seductively grinned, "And what's the service a front for Evony?"

Evony appreciated Bo's seduction tactic and she uncrossed her legs to give Bo better access to her inner thigh. Bo stood up, her sliding to the inside of Evony's knee then up her thigh, and she leaned in to softly to kiss the woman's neck while Evony ran a hand through Bo's hair. She gave the thick locks a firm tug as she answered, "You'll find out when I'm ready for you to find out." She pulled Bo's head away from her neck, "Do you understand?"

Bo smiled at Evony because the commanding tone in her voice and the pulling of her hair instantly brought Lauren to mind. Bo chuckled and stated, "I completely understand."

Evony brought Bo's head closer to hers and their lips were barely touching, "I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship." She closed the slight gap between their lips and they met for an intense kiss.

Tamsin was waiting in the small cafe that was around the corner from the federal building. She had gotten a hold of the client and she had requested a meeting so that they could exchange the payment information. Tamsin was nursing her overpriced coffee when a dark-haired young woman in a sexy, yet professional, skirt suit with matching heels came over to her and asked, "Tamsin?"

Tamsin got up and shook the woman's hand, "Yes. Kenzi right?" The young woman nodded then Tamsin pointed at the seat across from hers, "Just have a seat. I do apologise for this. It seems the credit didn't come through to us for your last appointment a few days ago."

Kenzi took out an envelope and placed it on the table. She hadn't checked her credit card statement, but she had been having problems in the past with this particular card. She smiled at Tamsin, "No I apologise. That card isn't reliable and I keep forgetting to get it replaced. This should settle everything."

Tamsin picked up the envelope and counted the cash in it. A thousand plus Lauren's two hundred dollar tip. Tamsin nodded, satisfied with the amount, then asked, "How was your last appointment?"

Kenzi smiled and remarked, "Oh it wasn't for me. It was a present for a friend."

Tamsin's eyebrow quirked up, "Oh really did he or she have an enjoyable time?"

Kenzi stood up and smiled, "I do believe so. Bo hasn't called me about it, so I'm going to say she did."

Tamsin tried not to clench her jaw. There was only one woman she could think of whose name was Bo, but she had to be certain. Keeping her tone light and friendly she asked, "And what's Bo's last name? I want to send her a thank you card for giving us a try."

Kenzi was a little suspicious, but she figured the woman was trying to keep Bo's business. "Dennis. Her name's Bo Dennis."

Tamsin clenched her fist under the table. Lauren's client had been Bo. Then it all clicked in her head. Lauren's withdrawing from her. Lauren running out of the house this morning. She fucked Bo or Bo fucked her after their little session of torture. Tamsin tried not to seethe in front of the young woman. She got up and forced a smile on her face, "Well thank you and again, I do apologise. If you'll excuse me."

Kenzi nodded and Tamsin made a hasty exit from the cafe. Fucking Bo Dennis. Tamsin was only a few blocks from the building where Bo's firm was, so she set her jaw and headed towards it.

Bo's head was being kept firmly in place by the brunette who was moaning loudly above her. Her tongue was buried deep inside Evony stroking the velvety confines of her pussy. Bo slid her tongue out then up to Evony's highly sensitive clit giving it a few flicks before she sucked on the hard nub causing Evony to gasp. Bo could tell from Evony's grip on the back of her head that she was close. She just needed the perfect shove. Bo had just slid two of her fingers into Evony when she heard some commotion outside of her office. She stood and continued to fuck Evony while she wondered what the hell was going on. Evony had just started to come when Tamsin burst through her office doors with security right behind her. Tamsin made a beeline directly for Bo and she completely disregarded the fact that Bo was in the middle of fucking Evony. She got to Bo and grabbed her by the throat then slammed her against window behind Bo's desk. Tamsin brought forearm up to Bo's throat and she pressed down on it, blocking the flow of air. Tamsin pulled out a pocket knife and pressed it against Bo's throat growling, "What the fuck did you do to her?"

Bo wasn't high at the moment, having come down from it at some point while she was fucking Evony, but she began to laugh at Tamsin. And she only laughed harder as the knife pressed against her throat sliced further into her skin. Bo caught her breath and wheezed, "I didn't know you were so fond of Evony Tam considering you're with that beautiful blonde." The wild look on Tamsin's face turned into one of confusion and Bo nodded her head towards Evony wincing as the knife cut into her.

Tamsin looked at Evony and she was confused as to why she would be in Bo's office, "What the fuck are you doing here?"

Evony casually got off of Bo's desk and as she fixed herself up she got an enthusiastic smile on her face, "To see the killing of Bo Dennis of course. Please do it darling."

Tamsin glanced at Bo then back at Evony demanding, "I'm not here to play fucking games Evony. Now what the fuck are you doing here?"

Evony walked over to Tamsin and she whispered in her ear, "Meet your new boss Tam-Tam."

Tasmin backed away from Bo. She was completely confused as to what was happening. Bo grimaced as she put her hand on her neck then when she pulled it away and saw the blood on her fingertips she began chuckle, "If I were someone else Tam, I would start to think you had it out for me."

Tamsin pointed the knife at Bo and shouted, "Shut the fuck up."

Evony had let this gone on long enough. She looked at Bo and said, "I think we need to talk without an audience."

Bo saw Evony glance over to the stunned security guards and she said, "It's okay guys. It's just a little spat between friends. Everything is fine."

They hung around for a moment and one of the guards hesitantly asked, "You sure you-"

"Go." Bo ordered leaving no room for debate. They nodded and left her office. As soon as the door to her office was close Bo sat down behind her desk. "Floor is all yours."

Evony placed her hand gently on Tamsin's shoulder and instructed, "Why don't you have a seat and I'll make you a drink."

Tamsin glared at her and spat, "Fuck you. Tell me what's going on and why you're letting her fuck you."

Evony had enough of Tamsin's bullshit and she countered, "She's doing a far better job than you are. And she's our new investor and your new boss."

Bo sat up in her chair eagerly exclaiming, "And you work there too?"

Evony gave her a pointed look explaining, "She's the manager."

Bo began to laugh uncontrollably. She thought her day was going to turn into complete shit when she had walked in. But instead she was given a wonderful opportunity and an extraordinary way to get under Tamsin's skin all while stealing her girlfriend. It all felt like of some sort of poetic justice to Bo and she couldn't help but to laugh. Bo caught her breath and when she was more composed she got up and walked over to Tamsin. She placed both her hands on the blonde's shoulders and squeezed them tightly while she dryly remarked, "It's going to be such a pleasure working with you Tam. Such a pleasure."
