Other Biggering For Onceler- a different path

As If I ever would....

Monday morning came with no events. The alarm went off and Iris shut it off. Walking to her closet she saw her phone glowing. Upon reading the text, a peculiar request came to her. Onceler stated he would not be in today at all, all he needed was her to set up schedule for the rest of the week and then she was free for the day.

"Wow, that's so easy and then a day to myself, definitely fun.." Iris said to herself.

She pulled out her laptop for work and studied everything for the week, The calendar had not changed since Friday, so 20 mins of work and BAM done for the day. He was like clockwork with his routine, so this was almost unheard of. She decided not to text him because she was not sure she should. An early morning nap was the choice and then later Iris went out for the day shopping.

*MEANWHILE*

Onceler sprawled out in his bed...somewhat tired from the night before. Although he had no regrets, he forgot the feelings of it when the afterglow came off. Laying there quietly he remembered everything he said to Tempest last night. It all made perfect sense and resonated in his ears.

"Shit, I could not even do her if she came here begging for it right now", Onceler said aloud.

Lying in bed he summoned Clive. He was one of his favorite guards. Not that he dislikes the others, Clive and Onceler bonded since day one. Sure, it was an employee/employer relationship, but Onceler did not see it that way. He looked at him as the brother he never had.

"You rang sleeping beauty, wow you really outdid yourself last night.... with all things considered", Clive began.

"Yes, I did but...I needed to do something.... ANYTHING just to think..", Onceler lit a cigar.

"Okay butttt...let me stop you there... you say you needed something to think... and you chose...well... we both know what you chose, and you did a fair amount of it...and you had Tempest right beside you and that alone could not have filled your needs.... Do enlighten me .... that is not you, you were never shy around her and let it be known...as soon as you two connected there was no hiding it, I just cannot believe that in itself was not enough for this time... ", Clive said standing by his bed.

"Fair enough, there is no fooling you, never has been I just... Tempest was not what I truly wanted...in that realm, no offense to her but...", Onceler blew distracting smoke rings.

"Well what Onceler wants...Onceler gets..." Clive snickered.

"NOT always...not with this", Onceler smirked.

"Okay Onceler... you are beating around the damn bush on this... why so damn timid, I have seen you cuss out entire board meetings of the most elite without a single glance, I have seen you basically dictate the mood of a room with a single glance at parties, I have seen rooms filled with women. Even MARRIED women try to subdue their urges for you... and yet here you are being timid and coy...... I call bullshit... like I did last night and now that it is just us...you are going to tell me...I can sit here all day if I must", Clive spoke and pulled up a chair.

"Fine... since you insist", Onceler became flustered.

"I.. I... want her..." Onceler began.

"Her, her who ...your left hand?", Clive joked.

"Oh funnnyyyyyy...let me give you a raise for that one ... Her.. she's the one I want but she .... Is not like the rest and who knows I may never truly get her... she's so conflicted on what is real and what's not... and god it makes me want her even more ....", Onceler began to say.
