The next morning I was up and ready by 7:30 and headed out the door to catch my cab. I stopped short when I was met in the parking lot by an average sized man with dark hair and sun glasses standing next to a town car.

"Ms. Benton?" He asked as I started to walk by. Damn, this must be the 'driver' Mikko was talking about.

"Yes, please just call me Elena.” I said shaking his hand.

"John Roberts. Please let me know if there is anything you need Ms. Benton." He said opening the back door for me.

"Please John, just Elena." I said as I got in the car.

          The car ride was short and peaceful, John offered to get the door when we arrived but I insisted to get it myself; that would just be too much, the private driver was already a lot to handle. I went to the elevator and headed to my office. My first week was mostly getting use to the new accounts, and meeting new people in the office. By the end of the second week I already had a routine, and even got friendly hellos from people throughout the building that I had met. It felt good to finally be settling into my new job; well at least my job for the next two and a half months.

          I waited in the elevator as it rose to the 12th floor; I had to drop off my bi- weekly report to Mr. Stronghold. I nervously smoothed the front of my new white suit jacket. It was the first thing that I had bought for myself since I arrived in Cali; I figured that I had saved enough money from not having to pay cab fare that I could afford to splurge a little.

          The bell dinged as I reached my destination and I took a deep breath as I walked towards the main desk. Agh, I really hope that I don't see Mikko. I hadn't seen him since that awkward dinner and if there was anywhere I would run into him it would probably be here. I still hadn’t figured out what his role at this company was or his last name; I would have to remember to look that up.

          I went over the report with Mr. Stronghold; he told me that he was getting great reviews about me and he liked my work. I was in the best mood by the time I left his office; maybe I should go out and celebrate. I stopped at the water dispenser in the hall by a restroom on my way to the elevator. I filled the plastic cup and took a drink as I started back down the hall. A door suddenly flew open in front of me; knocking the water out of my hand and spilling it down the front of my suit jacket. I didn't even have to look up to recognize the voice.

"Shit!" Mikko said as he grabbed my arm and dragged me through the door he just hit me with.

          We walk down a small hallway and ended up in a bathroom with two sinks, two stalls that stretched all the way to the ceiling but were open at the floor, and a urinal with a half wall on the side of it. I could feel the heat from his hand through the sleeve of my jacket distracting me from what was happening. Shit, why did I get like this around him?

"Take it off." He ordered. My eyes shot up to meet his, what did he just say?

"What?" I said finally finding my voice.

"Your jacket, take it off so we can dry it." He said as he started to get some paper towels. Oh!

          I removed my jacket and reached for the paper towels in his hand to start to dry it. I looked up to see Mikko starring down at me; well at my chest. What the fuck Mikko? I looked down to see my silk lace black bra showing clearly through my wet white button up shirt and I instinctively covered myself with my arm. The sound of the door opening down the hall has us both turning toward the sound. Before I have time to think Mikko pulled me into one of the stalls, grabbed the jacket out of my hands and hung it on the back of the door.

          He mumbled another swear word and in seconds he had his body pressed against mine; his lips at my ear.

"Don't scream." He whispered.

          What the fuck? Why would I scream? My body melts under the heat of his body and the feel of his hot breath on my neck has me chocking back a gasp. I can hear the footsteps of whoever came in the bathroom about to round the corner. Mikko grabs my arms and throws them over his shoulders then reaches his hands around me grabbing onto my ass and lifting me so my hips meet his. Wow! I bite my lip to hold back another gasp from escaping me as I tighten my grip around his neck to keep from falling back. Now I understand why he said not to scream.

          Mikko locks his eyes with mine and I feel his grip tighten around my ass; his body heat radiates into my body as he moves his face closer to mine. Something about hiding in the bathroom stall with him holding me so close really had me turned on. Feelings of need that I have never felt before started running through my body. I could feel my heart rate pick up and my breathing getting heavy. Mikko's lips crashed with mine, it wasn't a soft loving kiss; it was hard and heavy, filled with need and desire. We got lost in each other; our hands exploring each others bodies. When we finally stopped we were both panting and out of breath.

          Holy Crap, what just happened? Why did we stop? My mind was telling me to think about what I was doing, but my body wanted nothing more than to start making out with him again.

"Your place?" Mikko asked setting me back on my feet.

          I shake my head yes as he pulls my jacket over my shoulders and quickly fastens the buttons. Holy crap, did I just agree to have sex with him? He peeks his head out the bathroom door before leading us both to the elevator. The ride in the elevator seems like it takes forever as we stand there in silence. When we get into the parking garage he takes my hand and leads me to his SUV. My heart is beating franticly; I’m excited and nervous all at the same time. I had been waiting for this day for a while now; I just never figured that everything would be going so fast. Mikko jumps into the driver’s seat giving my hand a little squeeze before pulling out of the space.

          The moment my hotel room door closed behind us Mikko lifted me into his arms and carried me over to the bed. My heart started racing again and I couldn’t hide the smile on my face. This was exciting! He trailed kisses along my neck as he worked to undo the buttons on my jacket. I felt it slide off my shoulders and his fingers were back to work on my shirt; his lips never leaving my neck. Shit, should I be doing something? I didn’t know what to do; I had never done this before. I tried to concentrate on the buttons on his jacket but the feel of his tongue sliding down my neck had me pushing my body against his begging for more. I heard a rumble in his chest as he pulled my shirt from my body; I found myself happy that I had worn the only sexy bra that I own that day.

          My fingers still fumbled with his jacket when he pushed me back on the bed so I was lying flat. His hands made short work of his jacket and shirt. My eyes trailed over his perfectly sculpted abs; my hands reaching up instinctively to touch him. He leaned his body forward so he was straddling mine and started to trail kisses down my neck to my breasts around the edge of my bra. I let out a moan and arched my back begging him to touch me more. My body took complete control over my mind; I no longer was thinking, I was just feeling and everything felt so good! My hands moved to his back trailing along his muscles. His tongue made its way down to my belly and his hands started to undo my pants.

          In one fluid motion he had my pants and undies off; followed shortly by his own pants and boxers. He stood next to bed looking down at me giving me a chance to take in all his gloriousness! This was my first time seeing a man completely naked in person. His body was perfectly sculpted; every muscle showing clearly under his tan skin. His shaft was already hard and standing at attention. Holy crap that looks huge! How is that suppose to fit in me? He grabbed my legs spreading them apart, then moved back onto the bed and positioned himself in between my knees.

          Holy Crap, this is really about to happen! He leaned in moving his hand under my back to find the clasp of my bra. His hands skillfully removed the bra before cupping my breast. His mouth moved to engulf my nipple sending surges of pleasure through my body; my back arched pressing my breasts firmer into his hands and mouth. Wow, my body felt like it was going to explode.

          Without moving his mouth from my breast one hand moved down my belly and into my curls. My hips jerk up towards him in response; I needed to feel more of him. Softly biting on my nipple he slides a finger inside of me. I let out a loud moan of pleasure as my body reacts to the new feeling. He moves in and out slowly; the feelings of ecstasy taking over my body with every movement he makes.

“You’re already wet and ready for me baby.” He said into my breast; his voice low and seductive.

          With one move his body was back on top of mine; his eyes locked onto mine and I could feel his erection pressing against my nub. My lower parts were throbbing; begging for him to enter. Without warning he pushes into me fast and hard. My body tightens as he rips me apart inside; robbing me of my virginity. I cry out in pain, and he freezes inside of me. His eyes search my face looking for an answer.

“Are you ok?” He whispers lowering his head to mine kissing my gently.

“I just wasn’t expecting that.” I lied. What was I suppose to do tell him, ‘I was a virgin and it feels like you just ripped my insides out?’ It didn’t feel like the right time to tell him this was my first.

“I can take it slow baby.” He whispered again in my ear; his voice making me melt back into the feelings of pleasure I had moments before.

          He began to slowly pull out of me; my body recoiling every inch he moved. He pushed in and out of me slowly as the pain began to subside and was replaced with pleasure. My fingers dug into his back as he began to pick up speed. I can feel something building in me, in my lower parts. Oh my god, this feels so good. I can’t believe I waited this long to try it. I can feel my body on the edge of combusting; every inch of my body is hyper sensitive. I can’t hold back any longer, and my body lets go; my orgasm seeming to last a lifetime. Mikko slams into me one last time and I feel him grow inside of me sending my orgasm into a different level. Together we collapse on the bed, completely exhausted. Mikko pulls out of me and lies next to me, his arm over my ribs.

          The room is silent except for our heavy breathing and pounding hearts. The sound of a phone ringing makes us both jump a little. Mikko scrambles from the bed and fumbles around to find his phone in his coat pocket. ”Mikko” he says as he walks into the bathroom to take the call. I don’t have the energy to even move to pull the blanket over me; my body is completely spent. Who knew that sex would take that much out of you? I hear the water running in the bathroom; Mikko must be done talking now. I hear the bathroom door and Mikko appears by the edge of the bed gathering up his clothes. Is he leaving?

“Are you ok? Did I hurt you?” He asks now looking down at me concerned and then looking at the bed.

“No you didn’t, why?” I asked before turning to follow his gaze to the blood stain on the sheet. Oh shit, I was bleeding.

“Oh” We both say at the same time as realization hits us.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know….” Mikko started, not sure how to finish the sentence.

“It’s not a big deal, don’t worry about it.” I said now feeling embarrassed as I pulled the blanket up to cover my naked body and the stained sheets.

“Umm, I have to go. I have a meeting I need to be at by six. I will get a hold of you tomorrow ok?” He said as he hurried to get back into his suit.

“Yeah, sounds good.” I said tightening the blanket around me. My feelings of pleasure and being in the moment fading fast bringing me back to reality.

“Ok, bye.” He said pulling on his jacket as he walked out the door.

          The click of the door signaled the start of the tears running down my face. This is stupid, why am I crying? Because I feel used, that’s why. Because I just got fucked by a guy that I know nothing about; I don’t even know his last name for Christ sakes. He fucked me, and then left me. I felt hurt, but I knew I didn’t have a right to. I knew what I was doing when I let all this start in the bathroom. I could have said no and I wouldn’t even be here right now; but no, I said yes, now here I lay in bed tears flowing down my face, no longer a virgin. I felt used and dirty, but somehow at the same time relieved that I finally just got it over with.

          I pulled myself out of bed and into the shower. I let the hot water run across my aching muscles. I was finding out quickly that there were a lot of muscles you used during sex that you didn’t use that often otherwise. I popped a few Aleve and headed off to bed; I didn’t want to think about the events that just happened, I just needed to go to sleep and forget all about it.

          The sound of my phone beeping woke me up. I fumbled around with my hand on the bedside table searching for it; unwilling to open my eyes. With no luck finding it I reluctantly open my eyes and look over at the table; the alarm clock reads 11:45. Shit, did I really sleep that long? My phone is no where in site, but it beeps again and I look in the direction of the sound to find it lying on a table by the patio door. I roll out of bed groaning at my protesting sore muscles and grab the phone. There was a text message but I didn’t recognize the number; I open it.

‘Hey it’s Mikko. Sorry I had to run out last night. Do you want to have lunch or something?’ 

          I saved the number in my phone trying to decide what I thought about the message. I was really expecting him to not contact me; I thought this was just a one night stand. I was still embarrassed about the whole virginity thing; I wasn’t ready to face him. I hit reply.

‘Don’t worry about it. I’m busy today, maybe a rain check.’ I hit Send; I really didn’t know what else to say. How did he even get my number?

‘Cool, well see you around.’ Was the response I got back. Ok, well maybe it was just a one night stand to him too. What do I say back to that?

‘See you around.’ I sent back; seemingly the only appropriate answer.

          I put the phone on the charger and called house keeping to get new sheets. I lied and said I started my period when the lady looked at me concerned with the bloody sheets. I ordered room service for dinner then headed to bed. Sunday went by quickly and I did some shopping to keep my mind off of Mikko. I still wasn’t ready to face him on Monday; I was hoping to avoid him completely, if that was even possible.

          John dropped me off in the parking garage and I took the elevator to the third floor; I was happy to make it to my office without seeing Mikko. I began my work and was interrupted a little before noon with a knock at the door. A delivery man handed me a small package and gave me a quick smile before turning to leave. I sat back at my desk and opened the package. What the fuck! I pulled a pair of silk and lace black panties out of the box. There was still a price tag attached; $149.99, are you kidding me? At the bottom of the box there was a note.

‘Thought these would go good with that bra. Mikko’

I shoved the note and panties back into the box, taking a quick glance around to make sure no one seen them. My face flushed as I thought about how Mikkos hands felt on my body. I pushed the thoughts to the back of my head, and pulled out my phone to text Mikko.

‘Thanks for the gift, but it wasn’t necessary.’ Or appropriate to send me at work for that matter I wanted to add.

          I hit send and rolled my chair back to the window to look out onto the streets. My eyes scan the street below before stopping on a girl with blonde hair and a black mini skirt talking to Mikko. Mikko grabbed her by the waist before pulling her in for a kiss, then helped her into her car and closed the door. I quickly rolled my chair back to my desk; a pain rushing through my heart. No, I have no right to be angry or sad. I have no claim over Mikko; he was just a guy that I had sex with once, no strings attached. My phone beeped bringing back to the moment. 

‘How could I resist? Maybe you could show them to me tonight?’ I read the message as my blood started to boil.

          What a player! He was just kissing another girl like ten seconds ago. I was fine with being a one night stand, but I wasn’t going to be the girl he ran to to fuck when his other bitches were busy. I didn’t have time for this; I pushed my phone to the side and continued my work. My phone beeped again around 12:30; another message from Mikko.

‘Free for lunch?’ No! I’m not going to be free for anytime with you. I pushed the phone aside again, ignoring the message.

          At one I headed down the street to a local deli for lunch. I was fishing through my wallet for cash when someone threw another bag of chips on the counter and a $50.00 bill. I didn’t even have to look up to see it was Mikko, I could just feel his presence. I grabbed my food and drink and headed for a table, not saying a word.

“Are you just going to ignore me now Elena? Let’s go somewhere to talk.” He said grabbing my arm and leading me to the door.

          I didn’t fight with him there was no use; I knew he would just find a way to get what he wanted one way or another. I followed as he led me out to his SUV; John was there waiting with the door open. I climbed in and Mikko followed; I sat quietly in my seat as we waited for John to get in the drivers seat.

“Where to Mr. Stronghold?” John asked from the front seat.

          My mouth dropped to my chest, I couldn’t breath, it felt like my heart stopped beating; did he just say Mr. Stronghold? I look over at Mikko; shock written all over my face. Holy shit how did I not see this before? The hair, the eyes, the build, he is a spitting younger image of his father. His father, my boss, Mr. Kane Stronghold. I fucked my bosses’ son. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Thankful that the car had not started moving yet, I jumped out without a word and start walking down the street.

          My heart is beating too fast, my breaths are short and I feel like I’m running out of air; I’m having a panic attack! Pull it together Elena! I dip into a small alley way and walk back a few feet to get away from the crowded streets. I lean my back against the cold brick building and take deep breaths to calm myself down. I could feel his presence before he spoke letting me know he was there.

“Elena lets go for a ride so that we can talk.” He said holding out his hand.

          Talk? Talk about what? Talk about how he neglected to tell me that he was my boss’s son before I threw myself at him in the bathroom? No, there was nothing to talk about. We had sex, that was it, nothing more.

“There really is nothing to talk about. I think we should just forget that Friday ever happened.” I said standing up from the wall and walking back to the street.

“If that’s what you want Elena.” He said from behind me. I didn’t turn to look at him; I just nodded my head and continued down the street.

          I started working again the moment I was back at my desk. I needed to keep myself busy, I didn’t want to think about the information that I learned today. By the time work was done I was starving; I had left my lunch in Mikkos truck and never stopped to get anything else to eat. I had John stop at the deli on the way back home to grab some dinner.
