This was the first time Holly has been to Toby's apartment. Usually had been in the car, at work, or even at some cheap hotel.

"Would you like something to drink?" he offered. "All I have is a beer, I'm sorry."

"No thanks. I have to drive. I'm not staying long."

"Thanks for coming."

"Don't thank me. This is what we both wanted."

Holly closed her eyes. That was the first time she admitted to herself that she actually wanted this- this thing- that was going on. It was like she was hooked, like a drug. Her sex life with Michael was good. They did it several times a week, though God knew Michael would have loved it more often. He just thought that Holly wasn't that type of girl. If he only knew. There was a word for girls like her.

"You want this too?" Toby smiled. "I think about it all the time."

"Don't! Just don't. This means nothing. I'm just using you. I'm just screwing you, do you understand?"

Toby looked at her and he did understand her better than she understood herself. He grabbed her by the back of her head and kissed her violently, biting her lip. Holly was shocked at how turned on she was.

He threw her down on the couch, not leaving her much room to move. She started to reach for his pants when he pulled her hands above her head.

"You don't get to do anything unless I tell you you can," he growled.

Holly was scared and excited at the same time. Gone was the sad and helpless look in Toby's eyes. He had taken charge, and she liked it. Her heart raced as he took off his tie and restrained her wrists. Then he lifted her blouse and bra and began kissing her, nipping gently. She tried resisting but his body weight prevented any resistance. He took one of his hands and did things that made her feel good. Finally he released her from her restraint and then entered her; she gratefully held on to him and came several times, some of the most intense feelings she'd ever experienced. After his turn, she sat up and looked at him. She knew that she would never view him the same way again. Holly hurried up and got dressed and left without saying a word. If she didn't leave then, she never would, and then everyone's lives would forever be changed.
