Near Perfection

The Club scene didn’t lend itself to casual dating and really getting toknow someone like Warren, and conversely, she hadn’t been able to afforda lot of time in having him come to know her. She had taken her couragein both hands and made the leap into a D/s relationship with him and trulythought it had been the best thing to do at the time. She still did, althoughthose parts of her that she quashed sometimes longed for someone totease and squabble with, and have fun with. Warren was a ruthless and wealthy businessman. He had inherited thebusiness from his father, just as he had inherited considerable wealth andthe family home. He was an only child, and Haley thought that was ashame. Siblings might have softened Warren. Haley’s mom had died fromcancer two years ago, and only the connection, albeit a long distance one,with her sister Iris had made life bearable then. That and her obsessionwith Warren. It had given her hope as well. Warren came across as a coldand distant person, but Haley believed, with all her heart, that a kind,loving man lived inside that exterior. She had seen glimpses of him whenhe wasn’t being the person he thought he should project. He was such acomplex man, and at times a total contradiction, even if he wasn’t aware ofit. Haley’s continuing mission in life had been the study of Warren, after all.
