Chapter 1

Ana threw her head back with pleasure, as she was being devoured. "Oh please, don't stop. Keep doing that." she moaned in ecstasy. She could feel her body shaking with intense pleasure while she rose to an unknown climatic level. She was always so scared of her sexuality and reaching that peak that made her incoherent and vulnerable. This time, however, was different, she needed this and it felt great.

"Miss. Steele... Miss Steele, are you available?"

The faint call of her name quickly pulled her from her late evening reverie. This was the third sex dream she had this week while at work. "Shit! Um, yes I'm available Charlene, I was bit distracted earlier. Is someone here to see me? Isn't the office closed?" she responded while pulling herself together. Totally unaware that she had her hand between her legs playing with her inner folds.

"No Miss Steele, your mother is on the line. She said she has been ringing your cell for the last forty-five minutes." Ana looked down at her phone on her desk shocked as she had fifteen miscalls from her mom. "Send her through, and you can leave for the evening. Thanks, Charlene". Charlene indicated when her mom was on the line and bid her goodbye.

"Hey mom, sorry I missed your calls" she answered before her mom started shouting.

"Oh please! We both know you were avoiding my calls on purpose. You missed the date your sister put together with that investment banker Brian Martin. He was so embarrassed that you stood him up." Ana made an inward groan, she had completely forgotten about her sister's blind date. She made a mental note to call her sister Caitlyn and apologize.

Ana hasn't dated for approximately two years. No one seemed to interest her, or even came close to earning her time. This was not due to a lack of trying on her part. She was just not at that place in her life at the moment.

Her ex-boyfriend Roger Sheffield of eight years did not help the process either. Roger was a Litigation Lawyer, who got a job offer in Monaco after he finished Harvard Law School. He had asked her to leave her job and go away with him. Ana was happy for Roger on bagging his new job. She, however, declined his offer to migrate with him, as she wasn't prepared to leave her job or her family. She pitched the idea of long distance to him, but he couldn't see it working so he ended things.

"Mom I honestly didn't remember, I have been busy all day. I haven't had time to even catch a break. I'll apologize to Caitlyn. But you guys need to stop with these blind dates. I am capable of finding my own man, and I will do so when I'm good and ready." Ana answered not realizing that she was shouting at her mom. "Wow, Anastasia! That was quite a speech, for someone who hasn't dated since Roger ended things and left for Europe. You have been wallowing and pining over this man for two and a half years. He's now married with a child and you are sitting in your office at ten o'clock in the night working, and talking to your mom."

This struck a chord with Ana; she knew that Roger has been a part of the reason that she hasn't dated anyone. "I really just lost track of the hours. And the fact that I have not been dating has nothing to do with Roger. He made his choice and left. I'm over him completely" she responded, trying to convince herself and her mom. "Okay, I love you Ana Bear I only want you to be happy and not work so much," Carla spoke with concern in her voice. "I know mom. I love you too. Bye mom" Ana hung up the phone knowing that whenever her mom called her Ana Bear it was out of worry.

Ana wiped her misty eyes and took a deep breath to keep the tears that threatened at bay. If she was being honest with herself; she was still pining over her failed relationship because it lacked closure. When she suggested a long distance relationship to Roger, not in a million years did she think he would have broken up with her, change his number and move miles away. This was a deep wound for her, one that was never able to heal.

This would forever be her torment, as she had expected a better reaction from the man she loved.
