“How was the tour?” Steven asked as I finally made my way back to the office.
“It was exhausting. I didn’t know there were so many rooms, my tour in high school only covered a few,” I said as I sat down in exhaustion.
My feet hurt horribly bad and all I could think about was how great it would be to take my shoes off and put my feet up. But I suspected that would not be a very professional thing to do on my first day of work. Perhaps on my second day, I laughed to myself.
“Sorry, no time for resting. I need you to go into Mr. Storms office and unload those boxes of books onto his bookshelf for him.”
At the mention of Matthew’s name, I perked up right away. I still hadn’t seen him yet and I was eager to get my explanation out of the way about why I was there. I was sure it would be very uncomfortable, but as soon as I assured him I was there to work I was sure we would be alright with our arrangement.
“Is he here?”
“Mr. Storm is still out at committee meetings. I don’t expect he’ll be here much today. There will be plenty of time for meeting him later, don’t worry.”
“Sure, I understand.”
I made my way into his office and started to unload the boxes. As I placed them on the shelf, I looked back at the office door to make sure he wasn’t coming. The last thing I wanted was to meet him with my ass up in the air while I was unloading the books from the boxes.
My heart pounded at the thought of getting to see Matthew again. I don’t know why I was so excited. That night when I left him I was terrified of this moment, of this day, and now all I could think about was looking in his eyes again. My heart thumped with a desire to see him and I felt my face turn flush red just thinking about Matthew.
The memory of his body naked on top of mine, still sent chills through my body. I had wanted him so badly that I almost orgasmed the second he slid inside of me. His body was filled with muscles and his eyes peered down at me with such command. Even days later I could remember the look in his eyes as he watched me orgasm. The pleasure it brought him was evident for sure.
As I finished the first box, I felt the presence of someone behind me. I paused, I knew it was him before he even said a word. His smell was specific. I didn’t know what cologne he wore but I knew it was Matthew before I even heard him or turned around.
“Looks like you’re working hard. I like that in a new intern,” I heard Matthew say from behind me.
Slowly I stood up and turned around to face him. My heart fluttered with desire. It had only been a few days, but I had forgotten just how weak in the knees he made me. I smiled and looked into his eyes as I tried to find the right words to explain why I was standing in his office. Surely there was a better way to explain the situation, but my words just wouldn’t come to me.
“Hi,” I said as I tried not to make eye contact with him anymore.
My plan to explain everything went right out the window when I was faced with him right in front of me. I lost my words and just stood there. His eyes penetrated through me and even though I had looked away, I still felt them.
“I’m Matthew Storm,” he said as he put his hand out for me to shake. “Are you the new intern?”
Didn’t he know who I was? My mind swirled with what the hell was going on. Why was he introducing himself to me? Of course, he knew who I was. Was he playing a game? I didn’t know what to say.
“Um, hi,” I said as I reached my hand out to shake his.
“So you’re the new intern?”
“No, I’m a first-year aid, or assistant, or whatever you call us. Names Michaela,” I said jokingly.
Surely he knew who I was. Perhaps he just wanted to keep things professional at work. Or maybe he was playing some sort of game. Either way, it made me feel pretty shitty to think that he really didn’t recognize me.
“Great, it’s nice to have you on board,” he said as he turned and walked to his desk.
I had no idea what was going on but embarrassment seeped into my cheeks and I wanted to get out of that room as fast as possible. My expectation was that I would have to explain why I was there. I did not expect for him to have no idea who the hell I was.
Did he seriously sleep with so many women that he didn’t remember having me in his bed only a few days before? It baffled me. Then it infuriated me. I had never met a man who could anger me and excite me so quickly.
All of my lovely thoughts about my night with Matthew were now gone. Instead, I stood there filled with anxiety and self-doubt about why I had slept with a man who cared so little about who he had in his bed. How could he seriously not remember me? I had felt like we had something special, a special connection between the two of us. But maybe I had imagined it all. Maybe there was no special connection at all. I didn’t know. Nothing made sense in that moment.
Nothing about the moment was comfortable at all either and I needed to get out of that room as fast as possible.
I finished putting the last few books onto the shelf and then stormed out of his office and back to my small desk in the other room.
“Well, I see you met Senator Storm,” Sarah said as I sat at my desk with tears forming in my eyes.
“He’s an ass.”
“You’ll get used to him. He’s just efficient. Don’t worry about it too much. He’s got an assistant who he works with most of the time, Alex is his name. Even Steven and I don’t work with the Senator all that much. So you’ll be safe out here. We will give you most of your tasks anyways.”
“Okay,” I said as I tried to calm my anger.
There was no way I could explain to Sarah exactly why I was so angry. She didn’t need to know that I had been naked in Matthews bed only a few short days before.
“I’ve got a list of errands we need done before tomorrow. How do you feel about doing them?” Sarah asked as she handed me the list.
I knew she wasn’t really asking me, it was more like telling me. But I was happy to get out of the office for a little bit. I certainly didn’t want to have to talk to Matthew again, especially since he seemed to not have any idea who I was.
“Sure, I can handle a few errands.”
“Just pick this stuff up and get it back here and you can head out for the night.”
“Sounds good. Thanks, Sarah.”
I grabbed my jacket and made my way out to the main hallways. As I looked through the list, it didn’t seem too difficult. The problem was I had to leave my car at the park n’ ride about ten miles out of town. Surely I could find most of the items at the stores around the capital, though, or at least I thought I could.
It was much tougher than I thought it was going to be. As I made my way around town, I desperately searched for a store that had all the supplies I needed, but I didn’t have much luck. All the stores in the downtown area were specialty stores.
One store had the paper I needed, another the notepads, but none of them had the red pens I needed to find. I lugged around my purchases from one store to the next trying to find the last item on my list.
Finally, about two miles away from the capital, I found a store that carried the red pens I needed. It was well past six o’clock when I made my way back to the office. Again I felt the exhaustion of the day.
My arms hurt from carrying everything for the last several miles and I was utterly exhausted. This job was turning out to be much more work than I had expected. But perhaps I was just exhausted from all the first-day stuff.
“Hey, are you Michaela?” A man in a suit said to me as I came into the office.
“Yep.”
“Hi, I’m Alex. I’m Senator Storms assistant. I was getting a little worried about you. Sarah said you left a few hours ago to get the supplies.”
“Yeah, sorry. I didn’t really know where I was going.”
“No problem. I just wanted to make sure I had the chance to introduce myself before you left for the day.”
“It’s nice to meet you, Alex.”
“You too. Well, I’m going to head home and get some sleep. You should too. Everyday can last forever here if you don’t make it a priority to leave.”
“I’m right behind you. I just need to put these things away.”
As Alex left, I slumped into my chair out of exhaustion. It had been a really long day and I couldn’t wait to get back to my little apartment and get some sleep.
The place I was renting was a little ways out of town, and not in the best neighborhood, but it had a bed. Oh, how I wanted my bed so badly at that moment.
I finished putting the first sack of items away and then I heard a noise coming from Matthew’s office. My stomach churned as I realized who was there.
Crap he was still there!
I kept my eyes on the door as I hurried to finish putting the supplies away so I could leave before he came out of his office. I absolutely didn’t want to have to deal with him again. And I couldn’t bare the embarrassment of him not knowing who I was again.
Just as I had finished putting everything away and I was about to leave, Matthew came out of his office. My luck just never quit worked out how I wanted it to.
He looked at me and then looked around the room like he was making sure no one else was still around.
“Is everyone gone?”
“Yes.”
“Well we should get out of here also I suppose,” Matthew said with a smile.
I couldn’t figure out if he smiled at me or if he just smiled because he wanted to leave the office. But then again, he didn’t even recognize me so he certainly wasn’t going to start smiling at me.
“Yes, I was just heading out.”
“You really shouldn’t leave alone this late at night. Washington is pretty dangerous.”
“I’ll try to leave earlier next time.”
It was driving me nuts that he didn’t know who I was. How was it even possible that we had spent a whole night together and he didn’t remember me? My mind swirled with the possibilities and none of them seemed good at all.
He could have been so drunk he didn’t remember me. He could have been on some sort of drugs. Or worse yet, Matthew could sleep with so many women he couldn’t keep them straight in his mind.
None of those possibilities seemed like they were true though. I knew he remembered me. I just knew it. But I didn’t know why he was pretending like he didn’t know me.
But then I started to think about the fact that I had left him that morning without saying goodbye or giving him any way to reach me. Maybe he was still angry about that? I had no idea. He didn’t seem like the type of guy to hold a grudge, but perhaps that was what was going on at that moment.
“Let me walk with you to your car. Are you parked near here?” Matthew said as we got into the elevator.
Standing alone with him in the elevator I could feel sexual tension like I had never felt before. It might have only been one-sided sexual tension, but I certainly felt it between us. There was a power that sat in the air between our bodies and it wasn’t going away.
“I took the train in. My car is up north a few miles,” I managed to say.
My brain wasn’t thinking straight. Every fiber of my body wanted Matthew to put his hands on me again. But he wouldn’t even look at me. His eyes were focused on his phone and he only half paid attention to the fact that I was even in the elevator with him.
“The train? Where are you staying?”
“I got a good deal on a studio apartment up north.”
“North as in the worst neighborhood in town? Where the shootings happen, every night and even my security guard wouldn’t go alone?”
I couldn’t help but laugh. He had described my new neighborhood exactly. I was terrified to live there and really hoped I wouldn’t have to stay for very long. Luckily the apartment I rented was in a building owned by an elderly couple and the people in my building seemed nice. The problem was coming and going from my building scared me to death.
“Yep, that’s the right neighborhood,” I said as the elevator opened I turned right toward the subway station. “See you tomorrow.”
There was no way I wanted to continue our conversation. I felt an unstoppable urge to wrap my arms around him and kiss him. Yet he didn’t even remember who I was. I felt like I was only moments away from making a total fool of myself and I couldn’t risk that. Nothing about the current situation was good. But the fact that I hadn’t embarrassed myself by kissing Matthew was at least a decent start.
This was going to be a really long year of working with Senator Storm. I couldn’t think of anything worse than having to work with him and he didn’t even remember me. He certainly wasn’t going to remember anything good I did around the office. Or remember any details to give me a letter of recommendation.
“Where are you going, Kayla?”
“To the train.”
“Come this way. I can’t let you take the train to that neighborhood at this hour.”
I hesitated for a minute but then followed him out the other side of the building. While we were walking, I played the conversation back in my mind. He called my Kayla instead of Michaela, he knew who I was. There was no way he didn’t. Even if he was a womanizing jerk, he couldn’t have forgotten me already. But why was he acting like he didn’t know me at all?
I didn’t know what kind of game he was playing and I was exhausted and didn’t really care about his games anyways. I just wanted to make it to my apartment and crawl onto my mattress on the floor. Then I wanted to sleep all night long without hearing any gunshots in my neighborhood. It was a simple idea, but none of it would happen until I got my butt home soon.
We walked into the parking garage and I followed a few steps behind him as we made our way to his car. It was a black BMW with black leather inside. It seemed perfectly suited for Matthew.
He opened my door for me and let me inside. It was a chivalrous thing to do considering he was pretending like he didn’t know me at all. It was driving me crazy.
I wanted to scream at him. To yell and call him names for pretending like he didn’t know me. It was crazy. Why would a grown man act like that? I didn’t know, but I could hardly hold in my anger anymore.
When we started to pull out of the parking garage, I was just about to say something when his hand reached over and he rubbed my thigh.
What was going on?
I felt like I was going crazy. He ignored me all afternoon and then suddenly Matthew is getting all handsy with me. I couldn’t take it anymore.
“What are you doing?” I blurted out.
“Touching your deliciously smooth thigh.”
“What the hell? You pretended not to know who I was?”
Matthew just smiled at me and moved his hand back to the wheel. He continued to drive and totally ignored me and how angry I was. So of course, I continued on with my angry rant.
“Matthew, I didn’t know who you were that night. But when I saw who you were I left, I’m sorry about that. But seriously you just made me feel stupid like you actually didn’t remember me. That was totally uncalled for. What was I supposed to think?”
Suddenly Matthew pulled the car over into an empty parking meter. The move was sudden and caught me off guard. He jerked the car into park and grabbed my face and kissed me hard.
His kiss had more passion in it than I had anticipated. He wanted me. The way his mouth moved around mine I felt his desire. As much as I wanted to continue to argue with him, I couldn’t argue while my body gave in and I took his tongue deep into my mouth.
I turned my body toward him and moved in closer as I felt his hand on my thigh again. It was crazy to think that he had ignored me all afternoon, but I was willing to sit and kiss him in his car. There was no logic to it, I just felt good when he touched me.
My whole body wanted him and I couldn’t help but sink into his kiss. More, I wanted more and more from him. If he had taken me to a bed at that very moment, I would have given in to him. There was a power between us that I couldn’t stop. No amount of anger was capable of stopping the electricity between us.
“I can’t be seen fraternizing with an employee. I’m sorry I was so standoffish at the office,” Matthew said as he finally pulled away from my lips.
“So you knew who I was?” I said with a smile.
“Fuck I saw your ass bent over in my office and it took every last bit of my self-control not to bend you over my desk and fuck you right there.”
I smiled at the thought of him fucking me in his office. I knew it was wrong, but the idea still seemed so right. Suddenly what I thought was going to be a hard year of working with Matthew, now looked extremely promising.
“You should have,” I said as we looked at each other.
Both of us had this look of desire in our eyes. I wasn’t exactly sure how he had hidden it from me so well when we saw each other in his office, but he certainly wasn’t hiding it now.
“Yes, I should have,” Matthew said as his fingers traced their way up and down my inner thigh.
“Doesn’t your door have a lock?”
“Hmmm, I’m not sure. If it doesn’t, I’m going to make sure and get one added right away.”
“I could always pretend like we don’t know each other. I wouldn’t want you to get in trouble at work.”
“We will have to act like we don’t know each other at all. There is no way I would be talking to a first-year aid very much. Typically I just work with Alex and he directs everyone else on what needs to be done.”
“Ok.”
“Why didn’t you tell me you were going to be working for me?”
There it was. The big questions.
“I didn’t know you were you.”
Matthew looked at me with a silly smile on his face. I knew it was hard to believe that I didn’t know who he was that night when we first met, but I genuinely didn’t know. Seeing someone in person as compared to television or print was just totally different. Plus I was drunk when we first met on the dark streets of Chicago.
“So you applied to work for me, but then when you met me you didn’t know who I was?”
Ugh, I knew he wasn’t going to believe me. I hated looking like I was some sort of stalker or something like that.
“If you remember right, I was drunk and you rescued me.”
“Oh, I remember every last detail of that night,” Matthew let his fingers slide up to my panties and rubbed me as he continued to talk. “I remember your moans, your taste, your touch.”
My face was bright red as I tried not to get embarrassed as he looked at me. His gaze was intense. More than I could handle and my body got wet with desire.
“We should get going. My neighborhood gets more and more dangerous as the night goes on.”
It was the truth and if I was going to make it to my apartment without too much commotion, then I really did need to get to the park n’ ride where my car was.
“Yes, we better get you to your car.”
It was only a few minutes’ drive away, but Matthew seemed to be taking every wrong turn possible. It dawned on me that he probably didn’t do much driving while he was in Washington D.C. He probably just drove to the capital and then back to his place each day.
When we finally pulled into the park n’ ride, the place was almost totally deserted. I pointed out my car and Matthew drove up and parked next to it. I was about to get out when Matthew’s hand returned to my thigh.
“I really should get going,” I said as I looked out into the dark night air.
“I’ll take you home.”
“No. I have my car right here,” I said as I totally missed the fact that he probably wanted to take me home and stay there with me.
“Then I’ll take you here.”
Matthew leaned in and kissed me hard as his hand moved up my thigh and right under my panties. I was caught off guard and it took me a moment to figure out what he had said. “Take you here?” Did he mean he wanted to fuck right there in the parking lot? Oh, I couldn’t do that.
“I should get going,” I said as I moved my lips away from his.
He moved his lips to my neck and then down and pulled out my nipple. The hard sucking motion he made had my whole body wet with desire and I couldn’t help but consider inviting him home with me.
The main thing that kept getting me to say no was just how horrible my apartment was. It was only a one room apartment and I didn’t have any furniture and my mattress was on the ground. I didn’t want anyone to see how I was living and certainly not Matthew.
My problem was I also really wanted to feel the pleasure of Matthew and it was getting harder and harder to resist him. Maybe we could just mess around for a little bit longer, I thought as we continued to kiss.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him toward me. Letting him know that I wanted him as close to me as possible. Our lips touched each other gently and then we would move hard against each other. We alternated in our search for the perfect feeling.
His fingers moved up my thigh and I found myself opened up to him.
“You won’t be needing these,” he said as he pulled my panties off and threw them into his back seat.
“Matthew!”
I turned to go grab them but couldn’t reach that far back.
“Should we go back there?” He said with a mischievous smile.
For someone who was deathly afraid of getting caught in his office with me, he certainly didn’t have any fear of getting caught having sex in public.
“No!” I said as I turned and kissed him again. “We aren’t going into the back seat.”
“Alright. Then I’ll just make you cum right there.”
His eyes looked down at my skirt and my legs. They were spread apart with his hand all the way up my skirt. I knew what he was about to do. I should have protested, but I didn’t.
I held onto his head as we kissed and I let my fingers move through his hair. It felt good to have a little control over him, but I knew it wasn’t going to last for very long.
Soon his fingers had total control over me.
As he thrust two inside of me, I moaned out in pleasure. Instinctively I looked around the parking lot to make sure there was no one else coming. When I was assured that the lot was still empty, I closed my eyes again.
The rhythm of his movement had my body soaking wet. I felt the wetness as I dripped on the leather seat, but I couldn’t stop myself. I thrust hard against him and tried to figure out a way that I could have him right there in the car.
No longer did I care about the parking lot. The more he moved his fingers, the more I wanted to feel his body inside of mine.
I moaned out again, but this time Matthew quieted me by kissing me with such passion that I could hardly breathe. More and more he gave me until my legs shook with ecstasy.
“Yes…yes…yes,” I screamed out as I finally climaxed against him.
Matthew just smiled and looked down at me with satisfaction in his eyes. He seemed utterly delighted that I had cum for him in his car. I knew if I had said yes to him coming to my apartment, we would have spent the whole night making love; but honestly I did want to sleep.
My chest heaved as I tried to catch my breath.
“You sure you don’t want me to come over?” He asked.
Was it horrible that I just wanted to sleep? Especially after having just used up my energy with that orgasm.
I was exhausted from my travels and my first day at work. The emotional turmoil of seeing Matthew there certainly didn’t help either. I absolutely couldn’t invite him up.
“I can’t. I need to sleep.”
Matthew let out a long breath and then kissed me roughly. He was not happy with my answer. I could tell he wanted his way with me.
I kissed him back, put my pants back on and then opened the car door to leave.
My legs were still weak with desire as I walked to my car. Matthew stayed there next to my car for a moment and waited until I was all the way inside my car.
I looked at him and was going to wave goodbye, but he was already gone. No ‘goodbye’. No ‘I’ll see you tomorrow’. He just left.
For as much as he was worried about me and my neighborhood, he didn’t seem to be all that worried when I decided he couldn’t come home with me. Instead, he left as quickly as possible without even a goodbye.
