This is my first submission so I appreciate all feedback. * It started off like any other day for Nadia. She awoke to the blaring of her cell phone's 9 a.m. alarm she had set. This whole college thing was really beginning to get her down. Shaking off her morning daze, she proceeded to the bathroom to prepare for her day. As she stepped out the shower she admired herself in the mirror. At 5'9" with chestnut brown skin, almond shaped dark brown eyes, full lips, and a body that drove men wild she knew she was quite the catch. The question was why wasn't the guy she wanted biting? She found losers everywhere she went, and discontented with the idea of just taking whatever she could get she had resigned to the fact that she might end up beautiful and alone. She threw on her typical hoodie, jeans, and gym shoes combo and headed to class. She had just arrived at the door of her 10 a.m. class when her friend Richard grabbed her from behind causing the papers in her hands to fly everywhere. "What was that for!" she exclaimed. "Awww what can I say I missed you babe," he replied with a boyish grin. He was her flirt buddy. Just because she was going to be alone didn't mean she didn't still need male attention. "Well, next time a phone call or a hug will work just fine too," she retorted while rolling her eyes. She bent down to begin picking up her papers when she heard a whistle from behind her. She looked back to tell Richard to shut up and keep it moving when she noticed it was someone else. "Excuse me?" she replied offended but admittedly complemented. "Just enjoying the view," he calmly replied with a smirk while walking away down the hall. She would have normally commenced to tell him about himself, but today she was late so he got off the hook with a simple warning. "Please, a girl of my caliber wouldn't even dream of letting a guy like you touch anything on my body," she yelled after him. The school day passed by slowly. She had a 10 a.m., 12 p.m., and 3 p.m. class. When 5 p.m. hit she was ready to go home and relax for an hour or two before diving into her homework. She headed for her car, and let her new speaker system carry her into relaxation. Her car was an '08 midnight black Lexus 2-seater that she loved like it was her child. Her parents had given it to her as a going off to college present. Not that her family was rich, but they certainly were far from poor. Her mother and father held regular corporate jobs, and spent their entire lives working to achieve their current status. She hoped to graduate college and establish her own advertising and marketing agency. She knew it was going to be rough, but with her family's contacts she figured it wouldn't take long to establish herself as a tour de force in the industry. As Nadia pulled into the garage at her apartment building, she decided that she refused to spend the entire day and night inside. She was determined to find some friends and go out on the town. She had just turned 21 last month, and she had to admit that the new found freedom was refreshing. She strolled into her apartment, and turned on the TV to catch the weather for tonight. After hearing that it would be 65 degrees with high humidity, she opted for her tight black mini skirt, that made her perfectly shaped ass look irresistible, with her favorite red tube top and black stiletto heels. She had long legs that men couldn't help but drool over, and what might be called the perfect apple bottom. She only had a B-cup, but with the right push up bra no one ever noticed, and most guys' eyes never made it up that high anyway. She called all her friends, and received one excuse after another. How unbelievable! It was a perfect Friday night, and everyone seemed to be busy. Being that her outfit was already laid out, and she was in an "I must dance" mood she decided she'd go out alone and make new friends tonight. Nadia arrived at club Ice at 11 pm. Any earlier was simply unacceptable. She found an open seat at the bar and ordered an amaretto sour. It had been her favorite drink since before she was legal so it was all she ever ordered. She noticed some guys glancing her way as she entered the club, but no one in particular sparked her interest. However, as she sipped on her second drink she saw a guy at the end of the bar burning a whole into her with his gaze. She felt slightly creeped out, and was ready to move to the other side of the club when he approached her. "I apologize for staring, but you are gorgeous," he smoothly said. She could definitely say the same for him. He stood tall at 6'4" with deep green eyes and tousled blonde hair. His toned body could easily be seen through his collared shirt. All her thoughts instantly became ones of him and her pressed against a wall doing things she couldn't do in the middle of a club. She snapped back to reality and realized she must have been staring at him. He smiled flirtatiously and raised an eyebrow while extending his hand, "Would you like to dance?" He asked. "Depends on if you think you can handle this," she replied with an equally flirtatious smile. He looked her up and down before leaning in close and whispering in a deep voice, "Yes, I can most definitely handle you, anyway you want." With that he grabbed her hand, and they made their way to the dance floor. He wrapped his hands around her waist, and pulled her close. She ground her hips against his as they danced for what seemed like forever. She could feel him getting more and more excited, and she felt herself wanting him even more. Within minutes she was pressed up against a wall with his hands roaming over her body. She wrapped a leg behind his back to bring him in closer so she could feel every inch of him. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and she kissed him deeply. His soft lips pressed against hers only served to make her want him more. He broke their kiss and the look in his eyes was pure fire. He hoarsely asked, "Do you want to get out of here?" The hunger in her eyes said it all. Luckily Ben, she discovered his name to be, lived about a block from the club so they reached his place quickly. This was completely out of character for Nadia. She had only slept with three guys in her life, and all had been serious boyfriends. She wondered if she was really ready for her first one night stand, but after he began licking the spot on her neck that sent tingles all through her body she realized she could care less. Ben didn't bother to turn on the lights in his haste to see what little of Nadia's body wasn't already exposed. He pulled her top over her head, and began to trail his tongue from her neck to her heaving chest. He traced circles with this tongue around her breasts, before sucking her nipple into his mouth. Her body shuddered, and she felt herself getting wet. He reached underneath her skirt, and pushed her thong aside to let his fingers roam her while his mouth drove her wild. She ground into his fingers, and found herself getting closer and closer to the edge. He paused when he felt her body begin to tense up, and stepped back from her. "O God Ben! Please don't stop," Nadia breathlessly pleaded. The look of anger and lust in her eyes confirmed that she had been on the edge of her orgasm when he stopped, but he wasn't done teasing her yet. He pulled off his shirt, and stepped out of his pants and boxers revealing what she had been thinking about since she laid eyes on him. "Come get what you want," Ben said with a naughty smile while motioning for her to come over to him. Rather than kiss his lips as he expected she dipped lower. She made a trail of kisses, licks, and bites all the way down to his thighs. She licked all over the inside of his thighs before sucking his balls into her mouth. "O shit, damn girl that feels good," he moaned in appreciation of her tongue tricks. She licked her way up to his rock hard cock, and looked into his eyes with a fire that let him know that he was really going to enjoy what she had to offer. "Baby you have yet to feel my best," she said with a devilish grin. She licked around his head for a moment before taking him into her mouth completely. He could barely hold back as she continued to suck him in deeply then almost completely release him. He had to stop her before he reached his peak. He pushed her back onto the bed, and rolled her onto her back. "On your hands and knees, now!" Ben said so roughly it made her jump. "Mmmm whatever you want daddy" Nadia replied as she assumed the position. She knew how much guys loved her ass, and doggie style happened to be her favorite position anyway. He wasted no time in burying his cock into her. He was typically a slow and passionate lover, but something about this girl drove him wild. Their pace was feverish as he strived to make her reach her peak before he exploded. "Aaaah fuck! O God! Aaaah your cock feels amazing!" She cried while trying to hold back from cumming all over his hard cock. "You like that? HUH? I can't hear you. Let daddy know how much you like his dick," He said while driving into her deeper and faster. "Ooooh it feels so good baby.... I can't take it... I'm gonna cum daddy!" She exclaimed as her body started to tense. He could feel her orgasm as it ripped through her body and he continued to take her. Her body gripping around him as she came was too much for him to handle, and he exploded into her with a deep groan. They laid together for what seemed like hours, and when Nadia was sure he was sound asleep she found her clothes and headed for the door. She thought of leaving her name and number, but she figured he probably thought she was some easy nympho since she did just have sex without so much as knowing his last name. She hopped in her car, and headed home to take a shower and go to bed. This night was so out of character for her, but she couldn't say she didn't enjoy it. She kind of regretted the fact that she would never see the handsome and great lover again, but o well she'd forget about him eventually. Or so she thought. From One Night Ch. 02 Thanks to everyone for the great feedback on Ch.1! This chapter focuses more on building the characters so if you're waiting for the hot stuff don't worry it's coming. "And just where were you all night?" Alyssa asked as soon as Nadia walked in the door. She should have known that it was impossible to simply slip in past her roommate no matter what hour it was. "O nowhere just went out for awhile to some club with some friends..." Nadia replied trying not arouse any suspicion in her roommate while walking to her room. "O no! I know you don't think you are just about to get off with that lame excuse. I know all your friends because they are my friends too and I know everyone was going to study tables and out for drinks so where were you really? And I can tell by that little outfit and your messed up hair that it was with a man so spill it," Alyssa quickly rambled out while following on Nadia's heels. Ugh! Sometime she hated her best friend. This was really one of those occasions where she would prefer to forget what happened, and just go take a bath and head to her king sized bed. "Ok, if you must know I went out to Club Ice with this guy I met in Econ class. We had a terrible night and the only reason my hair is messed up and I walked in here so late is because we went to his friend's house party after the club that got out of hand and ended in me standing outside in the wind until he got sober enough to take me home," Nadia replied without stumbling once in her lie. She had become a professional at telling little lies to avoid stuff she didn't want to talk about through her many years of living with overprotective parents. Actually, she figured if ever given a lie detector test she would pass with flying colors. "Damn girl I'm sorry your night was so bad...I told you to quit messing with these college boys. You need to get you a professional man like mine," Alyssa said with way too much of her New York accent showing. Sometimes she really could pass for one of the ghetto Hispanic girls, but Nadia knew better. They were both extremely suburban and proud of it. She had been called bourgeois or white since she could talk, and she figured it just meant that she went to better schools than all those people. She nodded her head at her roommate's comment, and shut the door to her room to prevent her from continuing her rant. She proceeded to her bathroom to wash off the memories of what had occurred. Drawing the water for her bubble bath, she thought to herself about what a crazy undersexed horny teenager she acted like tonight. It was so out of character. She was always in control of her mind and emotions, but there was something about Ben that made her lose it. Was it his perfectly chiseled body? Maybe his mesmerizingly perfect smile? Or those eyes that seemed to send instant shocks to her pussy... "Shit!" She exclaimed as the water began running over the tub. She had managed to get so wrapped up in her thoughts about some guy she'd never see again that she forgot the water was running. She laughed to herself at the thought of how much power some man she didn't even know had over her. This was something Nadia was definitely going to need to shake off. ******* Ben Morrison awoke the next morning with a satisfied smile. Whoever said the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup clearly had not experienced a night like his. He rolled over to thank the woman who had given him so much satisfaction for a great night, but she was gone. He checked the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and even dining room of his penthouse apartment, but she was nowhere to be found. He paused to rethink last night. "It looked like she had enjoyed it as much as I did..." He thought. Finally he arrived at the conclusion that it couldn't have had anything to do with him. After all he was Ben Morrison. The man who had achieved building one of the most successful marketing and advertising firms in Atlanta almost overnight, and was now one of the richest eligible bachelors under 30. Is it possible that she didn't know that? No, that couldn't be true. He was on the cover of every magazine, constantly in the daily news, and he had even seen her earlier yesterday on campus. Granted she was bent over and he was pretty sure she insulted him for whistling, but by the end of the night he ended up getting what he wanted anyway. Women were his hobby, and he always knew the easiest way to get the one he wanted. It helped that they were constantly throwing themselves at him, but those weren't the ones he wanted. What Ben loved most was the chase. It was rare to find a woman who wasn't after him, but when he did he felt an urge to find out what made them tick. Of course once they were conquered they were easily discarded with the rest. He didn't imagine that he could ever be married or truly settle down with just one of them when there were just so many to play with. He shook off his thoughts about the girl from last night whose name he couldn't remember, and began preparing for his busy day. Even on Saturdays he didn't have time to rest. Today there were conference calls to be made to international businesses that seemed to never close, a pile of contracts to look over, and a schmoozing event being held by the Atlanta University Consortium. He hadn't planned on going to the event, but after last night he now figured it might be a great way to meet more eager co-eds. Just as he was finishing dressing the doorbell rang. "Only one person it could be this early in the morning," he thought. His neighbor Theresa Marquette was constantly showing up announced at his apartment. They had a brief relationship years ago, and it seemed like she just wouldn't go away. He did appreciate her cooking him breakfast and dinner though since it saved on the cost of a cook. "Good morning handsome," Theresa said with a smile as he opened the door. "Good morning Theresa. I wasn't expecting you over this morning. I have some meetings to attend so I really have to get going." Ben replied as if he were really in some rush. "O really? I ran into your assistant yesterday when she was dropping off some papers and she said you were free until noon. I was hoping we could eat some breakfast and go for a jog through the city," Theresa said while pouting. He had to admit that she did look adorable and hot in her tight sports bra and spandex shorts with her lip poked out. If he didn't have a policy against screwing women he had previously dated he would have invited her in. "Yea my schedule changed so I really don't have time, but maybe tomorrow," he said while closing the door. He headed to his bedroom to retrieve his keys, wallet, and briefcase. Looking for his wallet he noticed something interesting. It seemed his mystery lady had left him something to remember her by. On the floor next to his bed was a black lace thong. He honestly couldn't even remember taking that off last night, but it did make him hard all over again thinking about how amazing her ass was. He put it into his keepsake drawer with all the other things women had left at his place, and headed out for work. Arriving at his office he was greeted by his secretary Liz. "Good morning Mr. Morrison. Your coffee, newspaper, and schedule for the day are on your desk. The tuxedo you ordered for the event tonight will be here by noon, and your first video conference call for the day is already online," Liz stated in her small mousy voice. Ben liked to keep young, attractive women in his office. One thing he learned early in the business is that his clients responded well to beautiful women so he stocked his office with them. It also made his firm one of the top award receivers for diversity. It was like having his cake and eating it too. "Good morning Liz. Thank you and please take the afternoon off. It's a Saturday. I don't want people to think I'm holding you hostage here," Ben replied with a smile. "Thank you sir, I'll be preparing the contracts for your review. If you need anything at all just buzz me on the intercom," Liz perkily said. She was barely 20, and had a voice that sounded like she should be working for Disney. However, that was what made her so interesting. Underneath the exterior of a blonde haired, big breasted, stereotypical model was a true genius. What no one knew about Liz Montgomery was that she had planned and plotted her rise to be the secretary of Ben Morrison and had every intention of becoming Mrs. Morrison. And there was nothing and no woman who would stand in her way. From One Night Ch. 03 I hope everyone is enjoying these characters. This chapter continues the drama between Ben and Nadia. Enjoy! * "Shit shit shit! Where the hell is that shoe!" Nadia exclaimed to herself while rapidly digging through her closet. Sometimes having a thousand pairs of shoes in a very small closet drove her crazy. There was only one pair of silver strappy heels that could perfectly accessorize her long, flowing red evening gown. The strapless dress was custom made and fit every curve on her body perfectly without being overly sexy. She loved it simply because red with her simple diamond and gold necklace and earring set made her perfect complexion look flawless. "Yes!" she shrieked as she clutched the shoe like she had just found she had the winning lottery ticket. Nadia was running late for one the most important events of her life. The Atlanta University Consortium gala was tonight, and she had been asked to be a representative of her college. Everyone who was anyone would be at the event, and it was the perfect opportunity to network for a good starting position for work after college. Her adviser had told her that there was someone very influential she wanted her to meet who would be a big help for her career. Putting on her shoes, she sprinted for the door grabbing her purse, keys, and shawl along the way. She got to her car and checked the time realizing that she would probably just barely make it before the ceremony started. It was times like these that she was glad she drove a sports car. She hopped on I-85 and swiftly made her way to the Ritz-Carlton hotel downtown. Stopping in front of the valet station, she checked her hair and makeup in the mirror before handing off her keys. She inwardly breathed a sigh of relief as she entered the event and noticed people were still mingling. "Thank God," she thought. "Nadia! I am so pleased to see that you made it. There are a couple of people I want to introduce you to. O and darling you look stunning," Mrs. Reed excitedly said as soon as she spotted Nadia coming through the door. Her adviser was also like her second mother. She spent a lot of time in her office, because she knew that Mrs. Reed could open up many doors for her. "Mrs. Reed, you look amazing," Nadia replied while hugging her. "I am looking forward to some great networking tonight." "O you're always all about your work. You can relax a little tonight. These people know how qualified our students are, and they are just waiting for you to say you are interested in their company," Mrs. Reed said while still smiling happily at her. They proceeded to go around the room shaking hands and making small talk. Nadia was sure to grab business cards from everyone who offered, and used her dazzling smile to impress all prospective employers. "There is one person who I have been dying for you to meet who just arrived. Now as some background he is the owner and founder of BGM the fastest growing marketing and advertising firm in the city. This is the perfect place to get your career started so I need you to really make a good impression," Mrs. Reed ran through while keeping her eyes on where the CEO who had just walked in was going. She didn't even allow time for Nadia to reply as she went to grab the one man in the room that everyone wanted to talk to. Nadia just stood there mentally practicing her 30 second speech. This was the big break she had been waiting for. In this economy many places weren't hiring, and it seemed that competition for the best internships and jobs was intense. Any leg up she could get on them was huge. "Nadia, I would like to introduce Ben Morrison. I am sure you know who he is. Nadia VanZant is one of our top scholars at Spelman. I know that she would be a great addition to your company," Mrs. Reed said while Nadia stood staring. She knew that she should at least feign politeness by shaking his hand, but standing in front of her was the man she had random sex with last night. How could she not have recognized him! Her mind was racing a mile a minute trying to figure out what to do or say. Mrs. Reed cleared her throat and snapped her back into reality. "Nice to meet you Ms. VanZant. Your adviser has had only wonderful things to say about you," Ben coolly said as if he had never met her. Now she was livid! How could he not remember her? She had been in his bed literally less than 24 hours ago, and he had no idea who she was. That asshole! However, this was a formal function so she checked her emotions, and decided to play it just as cool. "Nice to meet you Mr. Morrison. As my adviser said, my name is Nadia VanZant and I am a senior at Spelman College with a major in Economics. I have been watching your company, and the work you are doing with it is extraordinary. I would love to chat with you sometime about how you achieved it, and how I might be a good fit for your firm." Nadia said while shaking his hand and attempting to act as if everything were normal. "You were right Mrs. Reed she is impressive. I would love to meet with you sometime. Here is my card. Feel free to have my secretary arrange a meeting for us," Ben said while handing Nadia his card. With that Ben walked away just as casually as he had come over. Never once did he show any glimmer that he remembered her in the slightest. She felt sick at the thought that she had slept with him, and he had so quickly forgotten. She felt used and stupid. She barely made it out of the room to the bathroom before tears started falling. "How could I have been such a stupid whore last night? And what did I think he would do if I ever saw him again? God, I am such an idiot!" Nadia thought to herself while sitting in the bathroom stall crying and trying to regain her composure. She hoped Mrs. Reed hadn't noticed her shift in attitude as she excused herself from the room, but she needed to get away before she made a fool of herself in front of the entire room. She really wanted to walk over and slap him in the face, but this was not the time or place. She found his business card in her purse and ripped it into tiny pieces before flushing it down the toilet. That small act of aggression made her feel a little better, and she was finally able to emerge from the bathroom stall. She looked in the mirror and realized there was no way to salvage her makeup. "Great," she sarcastically said. It seemed that her night at the gala was officially over. She put her head down as she power walked toward the exit. She needed to get out of there before anyone saw her like this. "I'm so sorry sir. I didn't see you," she said after she head butted into someone's back on her way out the door. She looked up only to see that it was him. "No problem. We are all clumsy occasionally," Ben replied still showing no sign that he actually remembered her. This time Nadia just could not contain herself. "Do you really not remember me? I mean really? I was in YOUR bed last night. I can't believe this! You are such an asshole!" Nadia blurted out. Ben looked at her as if she had lost her mind. Clearly he knew who she was, but this was not the place to talk about their one night stand. Besides, she had disappeared from his apartment so quickly that he figured that she didn't want anything to do with him. Some people had stopped to watch the drama that was unfolding, and Ben was much too private to have this conversation in the doorway of an elite hotel. "Nadia calm down," he said with an even but stern tone. It was just mean enough to say he meant business without showing that he was actually angry. He pulled her to his silver Porsche SUV, and told her to get in. "I'm not going anywhere with you," Nadia said while looking at him incredulously. "I wasn't asking you. Get in the car," Ben replied in the same stern tone. He was beginning to get very agitated with this girl. Although she really didn't want to, her emotions got the better of her so Nadia got in the car. She just needed validation that she hadn't slept with a total jerk. Ben sped down the road down to his office. He knew they could talk privately there. When they arrived he escorted her into his private lounge. "Now that we have some privacy, what seems to be your issue?" Ben said while pouring himself a drink. She knew she should say something, but now that she had the opportunity her mind went blank. She felt hot and embarrassed. Looking down, all she could think to say was, "I...I mean I just didn't know why you acted that way. I mean not that you owe me anything its just that well it was just last night and after we did all that and then I saw you and I didn't think I was going to see you again...," she rambled. Something about the ultra confident Nadia becoming such a nervous wreck was both adorable and oddly sexy. There was something different about her that made him actually care about how she felt, but of course he couldn't let her know that. "You aren't making any sense. Look, I can't have you making outbursts like that in front of my colleagues. Last night was fun, but if this is your reaction to one simple night then we certainly won't be having any more. However, if you can control yourself then I would like to offer you an internship at my company. I was impressed with your work that your adviser sent to me, and you seem like under different circumstances you are a level headed person. So what do you think?" Ben said as if he were in any other business meeting. Nadia was completely confused. Did he just offer her a job? Great, now she felt like he was hiring her because she slept with him. She wasn't stupid though. An opportunity to work at BGM was exactly what she needed to start her career. All of a sudden regaining her composure, she replied, "I accept your offer Mr. Morrison. However, I want you to know that this relationship will be strictly business, and that I don't need to sleep with someone for a job. My resume speaks for itself." "This girl is definitely something," Ben thought, but decided to keep that to himself. "Great then I'll have my secretary contact you with the information on getting you started, and it is definitely your head that got you this position," he assured her. She thought about the possible double meaning on that one, but let it go. Ben finished his drink and they walked back down to his car. He watched her as she walked in front of him, and bit his lip admiring how her ass looked in that dress. In retrospect, he wished he had made her put in some extra work for her new job up in his lounge. He came back to reality when he realized she was standing outside of his car tapping her foot like an impatient child. "Could you move a little faster please? I do have other places to be tonight," Nadia said while rolling her eyes. She knew he had been checking her out, and the bulge in his pants did really make her want to lick his body all over again but she fought back that urge. Although against his better judgment, he couldn't resist her. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist while licking/biting her neck. Nadia desperately wanted to reject him, but the only sound that escaped her mouth was a soft moan. Feeling like that was his sign to continue, Ben pushed her against his car and began grinding his already semi-hard cock against her plump ass while pulling down her strapless dress. He turned her around and the look in her eyes told him she wanted it just as bad as he did. He bent over so that his lips could wrap around her perfectly round brown nipples. He took turns worshiping each of them with his tongue before unzipping her dress and letting it fall to the ground. Nadia had completely forgotten they were in the middle of a parking garage until that moment. She wanted to object, but just then Ben dropped to his knees and began licking her thong covered pussy. Her knees felt weak as he pushed her thong to the side and sucked her clit into his mouth while slipping his middle finger into her dripping wet pussy. "Ahhh fuck....mmmmmm....O Ben," was all that she could manage to say as her breath escaped her. That was all the encouragement he needed. Ben dropped his pants and pushed her naked body tightly against his car. "Wrap your legs around me," he said in a deep throaty voice she had never heard him use before. She complied and as her legs wrapped around his hips, he pushed his cock fully into her. "Shit! Ah damn...your....pussy...is...ah...so...good," Ben moaned into her ear while he pounded into her. Nadia was beginning to lose consciousness from the intense pleasure coursing through her body. She wanted him to fuck her harder, faster, deeper, but every time she opened her mouth it just stayed in an o shape and nothing but heavy breathing came out. Ben knew he couldn't hold on long in this position. He grabbed her hair, and pulled her face to him for a passionate kiss. That was too much for Nadia and she started to shudder as her orgasm tore through her body. The clenching of her pussy muscles was all Ben needed to release his cum. They leaned against his car completely spent of all energy. "Damn if this is part of the job perks, I want a full time offer right now," Nadia said with a smile while trying to catch her breath. Yes once again she kind of felt like a whore, but there was something so naughtily sexy about being Ben's little slut that she could certainly get used to. From One Night Ch. 04 3 months later "Ben Morrison's office, how may I help you?" Liz cheerily greeted the first caller of the day. It was a Monday and like most Mondays she was expecting the day to get crazy. There was always some fire to put out here or there, but luckily there was a new intern starting today. She loved when interns came because she knew, from previous experience, that they were great for handling most of her work. Looking at the clock, she noticed it was almost 8 am. "Humph. Mr. Morrison is not going to like that the new intern isn't early for their first day," she thought with an inner smile. Nothing like earning some brownie points by making someone else look bad. However, much to her dismay, in walked the new intern laughing and chatting just a little too friendly with her husband to be. "O Nadia, this is Liz. She is my secretary here and she will be more than happy to assist you with anything you may need," Ben casually said as if Liz were merely the coffee girl of the office. "Nice to meet you Liz," Nadia said with a grin that showed off her perfectly straight white teeth. "Nice to meet you too. I'm looking forward to working with you," Liz replied happily with her best fake smile while inwardly seething. How could he just dismiss her like that? And in front of the intern of all people! Nadia and Ben proceeded to his office unaware of the darts being mentally thrown at their backs. Once inside, Nadia took a seat across from Ben's mahogany hardwood desk and reached for her leather portfolio so that she could take notes on her work plan. "What are you doing?" Ben asked with genuine confusion. "I am preparing for our meeting. We are going to discuss my work plan right now, aren't we?" Nadia replied. Ben almost burst out laughing. This college student thought she had REAL work to do in his office. One thing he knew about young college girls is that they didn't have the focus to accomplish any real business building activities. No, he hired interns to look cute in his office, warm up his clients before meetings, and occasionally do some physical tasks. "Nadia I don't think you understand the nature of your position. I can better explain with a tour. Follow me," Ben stated. Although utterly confused, Nadia gathered her briefcase and began following her new boss/ lover. "Notice anything different about my office?" Ben asked smugly. She wasn't exactly sure what reply he was looking for, but she had done extensive research on BGM and was well aware of the statistics that set this company apart from its counterparts. "Well I know that the company is always ranked highly for the best work environment, which is evident in the plush lounge area, and that it's always ranked highly for the number of female employees, which I have seen plenty of." Nadia replied matter of factly yet still unsure about where he was going with this. "Exactly. A lot of women workers. Beautiful women workers. Not to say that they aren't also great at their jobs, but lets face it more people want to buy whatever a bunch of beautiful women are selling. Now with that being said every one of those women holds a masters degree in their field so I trust them to run things pretty efficiently. You however are a college student intern. That means that while you are a beautiful girl I trust you with nothing. Your job will be simply to chat with some of my clients, and come to work looking stunning. Understood?" Ben stated as if he had not just deeply insulted her intelligence. Nadia stood staring at him stunned. She was absolutely speechless. Never in her mind could she have fathomed that a man could be such a complete and utter ass. She was just about to open her mouth to speak her mind when Ben interrupted. "O but I will write a great job description for your resume and whatever references you may need, if you do well this summer," he said knowing this would make her reevaluate whatever she was about to say. Ben knew women all too well. She would accept whatever he wanted her to do because he knew his company's prestige was worth it to her. "Could you excuse me for a moment," Nadia stated more than asked. She power walked down the hallway to the bathroom trying to make a decision. Damnit! He was right. She did need this for her resume, and it was too late to just go to another company for an internship. But she couldn't just be some dumb office tramp! She had worked too hard to achieve the great grades and respect she had at school to end up doing meaningless work all summer. Normally in a situation like this she would call Alyssa for help, but as she had not informed her best friend of the true nature of her relationship with Ben she figured this wouldn't be the best time to get a lecture. She and Ben had been sleeping together pretty regularly since their first encounter during the school year. That was months ago, and now here she was stuck in a predicament she had started. What to do? What to do? She raked her brain. After debating with herself mentally for at least ten minutes, she marched out of the bathroom and into Ben's office. She cleared her throat to give her speech, "Mr. Morrison, I accept the work you have outlined for me, but I want you to know that you will be severely underutilizing my productivity. I am smart and highly capable of any tasks this company or any other has for me. You have seen my resume so I know that you are more than aware of what I am capable of. However, if it is still your decision to keep me in the role which you stated I am prepared to do that as long as my resume and reference letter reflect more real world marketing experience," Nadia said without a pause for air. "Great. Now here is your corporate credit card. I expect you to go buy some work clothes that are more tailored to your body's curves, and I will see you tonight at 8pm sharp at Houston's restaurant for a dinner with a potential client. O and you might also want to have something done to your nails." Ben never even looked up from his papers as he pushed the card across his desk to her. He already knew she would accept working there. After all who wouldn't? "Is there anything else you will be needing from me today sir?" Nadia said with plenty of attitude and an eye roll for emphasis. "Just for you to lose the attitude. You're excused now," Ben said while making a shooing motion. She wanted so badly to reach across that desk and break his arm, but instead she contained her rage and headed for her car. O she was excessively angry, but his corporate bank account is what she intended to take it out on. The rest of her day would be spent inside of Barney's, Neiman Marcus, and Mitchell's spa and salon, on him of course. *************** "O my God! Girl did you rob a bank, hit the lotto, or do I need to make a call to Mr. VanZandt and tell him you went wild with his credit card?" Alyssa immediately exclaimed when her roommate continued bringing in more and more bags with expensive store names on them. Laughing, Nadia answered her nosy roommate, "Naw girl, I told you this job paid well. They gave me a salary advance today so I figured I'd treat myself." "Uh huh well as long as you didn't "treat yourself" out of the rent money I guess we are good. Now show me your stuff!" Alyssa replied still suspicious but too happy to rifle through her roommates new purchases. As they looked through the $6000 worth of low cut and tight fitting suits, pants, skirts, blouses, and dresses, all Alyssa said was "Ooh girl you know that's too little for you, you should let me have that" or "now when that goes missing don't come looking for it". They spent the better part of 2 hours looking through everything, and hanging it all in her closet. Glancing at her watch, Nadia noticed it was 7:45pm. "O shit! I forgot about my business meeting tonight. Ben is going to kill me!" Nadia screamed while panicking. "What kind of business meeting starts at night? And since when are you and the CEO of BGM on a first name basis?" Alyssa suspiciously asked with an upturned eyebrow. It was official something was up with her roommate and this new job. She wanted the scoop and she wanted it now. "No time to explain. Got to shower, dress, and get there. I'm never going to make it. Shit! First day and I'm already messing up an easy job," Nadia stated more to herself than anyone else. ********* Looking at his watch, Ben was now livid. Where the hell was Nadia? This is why he never trusted interns with anything truly important. He was glad he had called Liz to come to the meeting as well or he would have had no women available to entertain his client at all. When Liz walked into the restaurant all eyes were on her. She wore a form fitting black dress that dipped dangerously low around her huge cleavage. She always wore dresses that highlighted her cleavage since she was lacking in the ass and curves departments. Her long blonde hair hung in loose curls and combined with the high heel stilettos she wore, she cold have easily been mistaken for a porn star or high class hooker. She found Ben sitting with an older Asian man who couldn't seem to peel his eyes off her breasts. He looked absolutely delicious. His blonde hair was slicked back giving him a very suave yet professional look, and it was clear that he had also had his mustache trimmed. The black suit he wore with a white under shirt made him look as sexy as 007 himself, but with a much better body. It was taking all her will power not to drug his whiskey and drag him to her car. "Mr. Lee, this is Liz Montgomery. She is my personal assistant. I'm sure you have met via phone on multiple occasions," Ben said while standing to greet Liz with a handshake. "Nice to meet you Mr. Lee," Liz said while smiling and shaking his hand. "Ben, you didn't tell me your personal assistant was so beautiful," Mr. Lee replied while shaking Liz's hand and staring directly at her breasts. The meeting proceeded with Mr. Lee unable to take his eyes off of Liz. She giggled more than necessary to make her breasts jiggle during the conversation, and was hoping he wasn't the only one watching. Ben could have cared less about Liz's bouncy cleavage, he was just glad he had Mr. Lee distracted as he negotiated the contract for BGM to be the sole marketing contractor of Lee's company. By the finish of dinner, Ben Morrison had once again succeeded in getting a great contract deal with another new client. "Thank you so much for your time Mr. Lee and I am looking forward to working with you. Liz will send you over a copy of the contract tomorrow morning, and she would be happy to assist you with whatever else you may need," Ben said with a smile that showed genuine happiness. Nothing made Ben happier than knowing that he had just put more money in his bank account. However his happiness was soon interrupted. In ran Nadia more than an hour late rushing to the maître d' to ask where her party was. She looked terribly frazzled, and like she had gotten dressed in the dark. He could even almost swear one of her black pump heels was higher than the other. "You'll have to excuse me Mr. Lee; I believe I see someone I know. It was great meeting with you though, and once again thank you for choosing BGM," Ben stated while rising from the table and shaking hands with both Mr. Lee and Liz. Liz saw Nadia as soon as she walked in the door, and wanted to laugh until she cried. She looked terrible! And by the look on Ben's face when he finally spotted her she knew the new little intern was in plenty of trouble. "Good," she thought, "Now that bitch will get put in her place." She sat and watched anxiously from her seat at the table. This allowed her a great view without appearing too nosy. She hoped Mr. Lee would excuse himself soon, or she would have to poke his eyes out with her fork for the way he'd been ogling her all night. He finally said something about her being extremely beautiful before leaving. She was so entranced by the argument about to ensue that she didn't hear a word he said. Ben met Nadia before she could reach the table, and swiftly grabbed her arm to pull her back out front. He didn't like to make a scene so he pulled her to the bar area where there weren't many patrons. "Where the hell have you been? I gave you one task. One really easy task. What was that one task Nadia?" Ben said with pure fire in his eyes. "To entertain your clients. And I truly apologize..."Nadia began before being cutoff in mid-sentence. "Exactly. To entertain my clients and you can't even handle that. I can't believe you had the nerve to ask me for more responsible work when you can't even handle the simplest of tasks. I'm done talking with you tonight. I expect this to be the first and last time we have this conversation. Understood?" Ben said in his deepest tone of voice. Nadia felt like she was as big as a two year old as she replied, "Yes sir." Ben didn't feel any remorse for treating her like she was a child, because that was how she had acted today, as irresponsible as a child. Liz had moved from her seat at the dinner table when she saw them heading for the bar, and got to hear the whole conversation. She smiled wickedly while listening from a distance that allowed her to hear them without being seen. When she realized Ben was done she rushed over to soothe him. "Ben, are you okay? You seem awfully upset. Why don't you unwind with me and have a drink. I have a full bar of fine wines and liquors at my place," Liz said while rubbing Ben's very tense arm. Ben thought about it momentarily and decided a drink with Liz, or a couple shots off Liz might be exactly what he needed to de-stress. "Yea that sounds great Liz. I'll see you at the office tomorrow Nadia, and if you are a minute late past 8 am don't bother showing up," Ben said in a stern voice while intensely staring at Nadia. Nadia stood in the bar and watched as Liz and Ben left. She was admittedly hurt by the sting of embarrassment, but it almost felt like something more was wrong. She felt like she had been punched in the gut when Liz put her hands all over Ben. She really needed to shake this feeling, but she couldn't. As she drove home all she could think about was disappointing Ben and driving him into the arms of another woman. As much as she hated it to admit it somewhere in her heart it seemed she had developed feelings for a man she knew she could never have. ********** Across town "You know I could have told you that girl wasn't going to be good. She looked totally flaky when you brought her in the office today. Besides you don't need her anyway. I think we can both agree I run everything around the office just fine...," Liz said as Ben drove them to his house. She had offered for him to come to her place, but Ben preferred to sleep in his own bed whenever possible. Now he wished he hadn't brought her with him since she couldn't seem to stop talking. "...And I really love this Porsche you have. I always wanted a car like this. My father used to own a classic Corvette..." Liz continued while Ben sat agitated. By the time they finally reached his home, he really did need a drink. After escorting Liz to the living room, Ben headed straight to the liquor cabinet to pour himself a full glass of whiskey and Liz a glass of Moscato. When he came to hand her the glass of wine he noticed she wasn't on the couch where he had left her. "Ben! I'm up in your room. Just bring it to me up here," Liz shouted. She had waited too long for this moment to waste time. When Ben walked in to the room, his jaw dropped as low as the ground but other parts of him shot straight up to the ceiling. Liz was lying on his bed wearing nothing but a black and red bustier, which highlighted her already large breasts, and a matching lace thong. Her long blonde curls falling loosely around her breasts made her even sexier. "I was hoping you wouldn't mind if I made myself a bit more comfortable," Liz seductively said while giving a wicked smile at how stiff he had suddenly become. Ben was about to speak, but Liz ran her finger over his lips and dipped it into his mouth before he could start. "Shhhh baby all I want to hear tonight is moans," Liz whispered into his ear before licking his earlobe. She led him over to the bed, pushed him down, and began trailing kisses and licks from his earlobe down to his neck. She wanted to taste and enjoy every inch of his body. This was her chance to prove to Ben she could be his perfect lover everyday for the rest of his life. After she left a hickey or two on his neck she came back up to kiss his lips. As their lips met she shoved her tongue into his mouth with all the raw passion that had been building inside her for the past year she had been working for him. Their tongues battled for a few minutes before she released his lips and began inching down his body leaving light licks everywhere she went. She made her way down his perfectly toned muscular arms to his well manicured fingers. As she began sucking on his pointer finger his eyes closed and his body shivered. "Ahhhhhh, I don't know what you are doing, but don't stop," Ben responded breathlessly to her actions. She smiled and stared at his now half shut eyes. She could tell he was thoroughly enjoying her slow torturous foreplay. Once she had sucked every one of his fingers, Liz focused her attention on what she had been waiting a very long time to see. She tugged at his Marc Jacobs black boxer briefs until they were completely off his body. Seeing him standing at full attention made her want to climb on top of him right away, but she had to restrain the urge to ride him. First she had to suck his erection until he was begging her to ride him. She started by licking his inner thighs softly causing him to breathe harder and harder as she neared where he really wanted her mouth to be. Once she reached her true target, she began licking and sucking each one in her mouth slowly. Each time she darted her tongue over his balls she felt his muscles spasm. "Come on Liz, suck me. I can't take it anymore," Ben said in a half pleading half lustful voice. Liz didn't need anymore encouragement. She personally prided herself on being an expert at blowjobs. After all, everyone has to specialize in something. She dragged her tongue from the base all the way up to the tip before swallowing him completely. She gagged a little at first, but quickly regained her composure. After her initial dive, she slowed down half sucking him into her mouth and half rubbing her hand over what wouldn't fit. Ben didn't care what she did as long as she didn't stop. His whole body was out of his control as he succumbed to the overwhelming feelings of pleasure Liz was creating with her mouth. "Fuck....Liz....ahhhhhhh...amazing," he moaned unintelligibly while she continued. One thought did cross his mind that made him smile though. He now knew of a much better use for Liz's mouth than all that talking she was doing earlier. Liz continued until she felt his entire body start to tighten up. She knew that was the first sign of an orgasm she was not ready for him to have yet. When she released him the disappointment on his face was obvious, but she knew she had something better in store. Nothing made her wetter than sucking a man until he was at maximum hardness for her to ride. She removed her bustier and thong, and positioned herself over him. Usually Ben preferred to be on top, but he certainly wasn't about to say anything. Liz lowered herself completely onto him in one smooth motion. The look of ecstasy that consumed her face was only matched by the look on Ben's. He almost came instantly, but she made sure to sit and let his hormones settle before she started riding him. From One Night Ch. 04 Her motions started slow and precise. She brought her hips all the way down until she felt her clit grazing against him. The feeling was so amazing that she had to stop herself from cumming after only a few minutes. After she cooled down, she placed her hands on his chest for better positioning and began to ride him in faster strokes. Each time she lowered herself back down onto him, Ben had to focus to keep from exploding. Finally he couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her hips and began to pump in and out of her as fast as he could. "Ah fuck me Ben! O God.....fuck.....Ben I'm gonna..."was all Liz could say as she started to orgasm. Her grip around him got tighter as he continued to pound her until finally he reached his own orgasm. She collapsed on top of him, and they fell asleep a sweaty mess in his bed. ************* The morning after "Good morning baby!" Liz said happily as Ben came downstairs. She was busy in the kitchen making coffee, toast, bacon, and eggs in only his shirt. "I thought you might be hungry after all that strenuous activity last night so I decided to make us some breakfast. I know you like your toast slightly browned, eggs sunny side up, and your bacon fried crisp so no worries it will be perfect," Liz said while bouncing from one pan to the other to make sure things were cooking properly. "Good morning Liz. Thanks for breakfast, but you really ought to be headed home to get dressed for work. I've already called you a taxi so you should probably go get dressed," Ben replied while grabbing his morning newspaper. "Well I was thinking we could skip work today. I mean after all you are the boss. Let's have breakfast, take a shower together, grab a picnic basket, and have lunch out on Lake Lanier. It will be a great way to have a romantic afternoon," Liz said without looking at Ben while still busying herself in the kitchen. She would have been glad she couldn't see Ben's face. He was looking at her as if she had absolutely lost her mind. First of all, he didn't miss work for a woman. Any woman. Second of all, he didn't do "romantic afternoons". It made women feel like they were in some romantic comedy movie, and he was not going to be feeding any woman's romantic fantasies. "No. Liz you need to go get dressed. It's time for you to go home. I will see you at the office later," Ben stated while staring directly at her. Liz stopped cooking and walked over to him while unbuttoning the button down shirt of his she had put on. "Come on baby, don't you want to spend the day making love to me?" Liz said hoping to seduce him into spending the day the way she had dreamed of. "No Liz. I have work to do. I'm glad you're taking off my shirt so you can go put on your clothes. And to be clear we did not "make love" last night. We fucked. Now we need to go on about our day. So I need you out so I can start getting ready, and I will see you at the office later," Ben said with much less patience than the first time. The look of hurt on Liz's face was visible to a blind man. She was hoping last night had meant something to him since it meant so much to her. However she realized there was nothing more she could say so she headed upstairs to get dressed. When she was clothed she came back downstairs to find him eating the breakfast she had prepared. He handed her money for the cab fare without a goodbye or even so much as looking up from his newspaper. He may not love her enough today, but she mentally made a vow that he would. From One Night Ch. 05 Wow the response to Chapter 4 was much more than I expected. Thank you for the feedback to everyone who wrote a public comment or privately emailed me. I hope my response on my profile and on the comment page was sufficient to ease anyone's concerns. I hope you enjoy Chapter 5. The last chapter is written, but I am still revising with my editor. Enjoy! Nadia arrived at work at 7:30 am. She awoke that morning feeling better about what she needed to do. It was quite clear to her that Ben Morrison thought he ruled her, but Nadia VanZant could not be ruled by any man. After going home quite embarrassed last night, she sat in bed and formulated a plan. If Ben wanted to make their business relationship about power games she certainly knew how to play those. She figured that Ben would continue to use her for her looks to gain new clients and get his ideas passed, so she intended to also get her own agenda done at the same time. If she got close enough she could find out all kinds of information that would benefit her in forming her own marketing agency. Information like how much they paid Ben, so she could undercut it, or what their main needs were, so she could find ways to meet it better than he could. She had also decided that she was done messing around with Ben. Somewhere over the months she had been sleeping with him, she had started to build up this idea that he really cared about her. After all she had started staying the night more at his house than she did at her own. When he left with Liz last night though her mental picture frame of them being together had been shattered. It was time for her to let go of her idea that they were together, and accept that she had been nothing more than his fuck buddy. All this had been on Nadia's mind last night, and so this morning she was a woman on a mission to turn the tables around so that she was the one using Ben instead of the vice versa she had been living in. When Ben finally arrived at the office, Nadia was already busy looking over the negotiation deals he had lined up for the week. She had placed a cup of coffee on his desk, which she had spit in, and had been waiting for him to arrive so she could give her much practiced apology speech. "Good morning Mr. Morrison, I am truly sorry about last night. I won't make excuses for my tardiness, but I promise you it will not happen again," Nadia said with a tone of complete professionalism. "I'm certain it will not. I gave you a fairly simple job, and I just expect it to be done well," Ben replied after taking a sip of his coffee. Nadia smiled inwardly as he sipped his coffee. She realized she was being a little childish in her revenge, but it felt so good. "Well I can assure you I intend on doing everything I can this summer to prove that I can do this job very well. I started looking over all the negotiations you have lined up for this week. I was planning on doing some research on who the key players will be, and what other agencies the companies are working with so we can do some benchmarking. Is there anything else I should be working on?" Nadia asked as she began gathering the papers she had been working with. She wondered if he would challenge her about the work she was doing. Originally she had thought about being secretive about it, but then she realized that technically she would be doing his work for him so how many objections could he really have. Ben was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected Nadia to come in with such fervor to work this morning. He had basically expected her to be whining with excuses about last night. Even more surprising was that she was doing the work he had planned to do himself today. It was certainly not what he had hired her for, but he wasn't passing up the opportunity for some cheap labor. "Um no you can work on that, and I'll expect to review your results by tomorrow at the close of business. I'm sure you'll need some help so feel free to ask Liz for anything you need," Ben said while still appearing completely collected. "Thanks but I think I can handle it. I promise to have them on your desk first thing tomorrow morning sir," Nadia said with a smile while heading towards the door. She was actually smiling because her plan was going just as she had hoped. This would be her chance to get some research done on who he was working with and how she could use the information to her advantage. As Nadia walked out of Ben's office happily, she made sure to say good morning to Liz as she walked past her desk. She really only spoke to her because she didn't want Liz to think her leaving with Ben last night had affected her in the least. "It's actually a great morning for me," Liz said with an "I know something you don't know" smile on her face. "O well that's good," Nadia said about to continue on her way to her desk. "Well I mean who could have a bad morning when you spend it making love with Ben Morrison. O but shhhh don't tell anyone I told you. Office gossip seems to spread so fast around here," Liz said hoping Nadia would take the bait. From the look on Nadia's face she could tell she did. It was a momentary look of sadness, but she definitely noticed it. "That's good for you. I hope you used protection though I heard he'll sleep with anything," Nadia said before walking away. Liz sat back and laughed to herself. She knew that little tid bit of information would keep that new girl away from her man. She hadn't wanted to use protection, but Ben had insisted on it. That was ok since she had heard from somebody how a turkey baster could be used when she did want to have his baby. However right now she needed to keep her awesome figure so she could get him back into bed. Nadia had been a little hurt at the thought of Ben being in bed with his trampy secretary, but she couldn't let her know that. "That slut probably has probably been sleeping her way to success since she was in high school," Nadia thought while laughing to herself. They deserved each other as far as she was concerned because she was too done with Ben Morrison. ********** The next few weeks seemed like a blur to Nadia. She spent long days and sometimes even nights at the office learning as much as she could about Ben's business. She was determined to leave this internship with enough information to tank BGM. However she had actually begun to like her job. Instead of having to sneak to work on all the things she wanted to, Ben had actually been encouraging her to do whatever she wanted. As she diligently worked, Ben couldn't help but be impressed by the in depth reports she continued to turn in. On top of that work, she also came to work looking stunning every day. The way she mesmerized his clients at meetings with her amazing looks and humor had landed him so much business he didn't know what he was going to do when she had to leave. It was clear that Nadia had become extremely valuable for his company. The only thing bothering him lately about her was that she hadn't called to come over, and it seemed whenever he would invite her over after client meetings she always had one excuse or another. It wasn't really much of a concern though since Liz seemed to offer up her services daily. "Wow Nadia this report on L'Oreal's marketing spend over the past ten years is impeccable," Ben said while walking into her office one morning. "Thanks Mr. Morrison, I'll have the other companies done by the end of the week. I wanted to ask you though, do you mind if I take the rest of today off? It's my birthday, and I was hoping to go out with my roommate to celebrate today," Nadia said while secretly crossing her fingers. "I have a campaign I need you to review. When you finish it you are free to head out. Walk with me down to my office to grab it," Ben replied. She was visibly disappointed at his response, and wanted to beg him to let her work on it tomorrow. However she sucked in the urge to pout, and proceeded to fall him down the hall. As they walked down the hall, Ben thought about when he was 22. He had just finished his MBA in college, and had just begun to get his idea for a business off the ground. With Nadia's looks and business skills he assumed she would be even farther than him by the time she reached his age. Upon entering his office, Nadia saw three bouquets of roses. "O my God! Thank you so much Ben! I love roses! I didn't even know you knew it was my birthday," Nadia shrieked happily. Ben always knew everything about the women who worked for him. Granted he had never bought any of them anything but maybe a cake for their birthdays, but he did at least know when they were. Liz had noticed the roses being delivered in the morning, and had been sitting excitedly at her desk. She knew Ben wouldn't forget it was their one month anniversary. She had already planned their evening together of going out to a fancy meal, and then heading to the plush hotel room she had booked and filled with candles. When she heard Nadia shriek in Ben's office about what should be her roses she thought she had to be delusional. She walked in to find Nadia hugging Ben just a little too tightly, and Ben turning her head to kiss him. Thoughts of setting that little bitch on fire were the only thing in her head. She couldn't see anything but red as she lunged forward and grabbed Nadia's hair pulling her backwards. Nadia was completely taken off balance as Liz pulled her down and started strangling her on the ground. Ben stood in shock for a moment as the crazy cat fight ensued. However, he quickly snapped back into reality when Liz started to choke Nadia. He swiftly grabbed Liz off of Nadia pinning her to the ground. "Security!" Ben yelled out while holding Liz. "Yes, please get security to get that bitch out of here. I saw the way she was trying to seduce you. We don't need her here baby. I love you, I love you..." Liz continued to repeat how much she loved Ben even as she was being dragged out of the office kicking and screaming. Nadia laid on the floor trying to catch her breathe as all of the drama unfolded. A few of the other employees had rushed in to help her and help get Liz out of the building. She was stunned that Liz was so damn crazy, and completely grateful that Ben had saved her life. Once Liz was out of the building and Ben had talked to the police, he came to be by Nadia's side. "Look I am so sorry about what happened today. I had no idea that Liz was...I mean that she could have... I'm sorry I know this is nowhere near what you envisioned your 22nd birthday being like," Ben finally said after stumbling in trying to complete his thoughts. "Ben, its ok. I'm just glad I'm alive and that crazy bitch didn't pull my weave out," Nadia said with a laugh. Ben was so happy to see her laughing and smiling after the morning she had been through. "Let me make it up to you. We can do whatever you want today on me," Ben said hoping she would say yes. Nadia thought about the plans she had made with Alyssa, but decided she could put them on hold. After all most of it just involved eating and watching Disney movies like big kids. "Sure, that sounds great. Our first stop should be somewhere with some food though," Nadia replied with a small smile. Their first stop was to her favorite place to eat on her birthday, Benihana. Ben had never been before, but he was impressed with the food and the tricks the chef performed while making their meal. At the end of their meal, the waitress snapped a photo of them together while the entire table sang happy birthday to her. After eating, Ben regretted telling Nadia they could do whatever she wanted since she insisted on going to the movies to see a Disney/Pixar movie. Ben felt like a complete fool ordering two adults tickets to see a children's movie with no children present, but the way Nadia was excitedly running to find seats in the theater made it all worth it. The movie had actually been pretty good, and he had to admit that he laughed a lot while watching it. It was getting late by the time they finished up the movie, and they headed to grab some ice cream before calling it a night. There was a great park next to the Bruster's ice cream they had gone to so they decided to sit out and talk. It had been a hot summer day with temperatures feeling like they had hit 100 degrees, but it left the evening warm in the high 70s. Ben sipped on his strawberry malt while Nadia struggled to lick the vanilla ice cream cone she had ordered fast enough to keep it from running down her hands. It was beginning to appear like the ice cream was going to win that battle though. Ben laughed as ice cream dripped from Nadia's hand and ran down her arm. It was now dripping down from her arm onto her black summer dress. "You know you could be helping instead of laughing," Nadia said with feigned annoyance. "But this is so much better," Ben said while still laughing. She held her arm over him so that it could drip onto him, but he grabbed it and began licking the ice cream trail from her elbow all the way up to her hand. He then took the ice cream and tossed it to the ground. "Hey, I wasn't done with..." was all Nadia was able to say before his lips captured hers. Her mouth was cold and tasted like vanilla, his least favorite ice cream, but he didn't care. He felt her arms wrap around his neck as she pulled him closer to her. They kissed passionately and as each minute went past they both found themselves getting more and more excited. Finally Nadia broke off their kiss. "Look Ben I I can't. I can't do this," Nadia said while shaking her head to try to clear her brain. "Your right. We can't do it in a park. Come on let's head to my place," Ben said as he grabbed her hand to lead her to his car. She snatched her hand out of his and replied, "No Ben I don't mean that. I mean I can't go back down this road with you. Today was great, but I can't just have meaningless sex with you anymore. When you went home that night with Liz that shit hurt, and I refuse to do that to myself anymore. I can't just sleep with you with no feelings attached." He didn't know why he said it, but the next words out of his mouth surprised even him. "Nadia, I love you," Ben said in complete sincerity. That certainly wasn't what she thought he was about to say. "I'm sorry I hurt you that night, but every time I see you it seems like you're even more beautiful than the last time. You're smart, you're funny, you're damn near perfect," Ben said while searching her eyes for a response. Nadia was now officially shocked for the second time today. First Liz tried to kill her over Ben, and now he was confessing that he loved her. If a psychic had predicted the events of this birthday to her she would have told them they were a liar. She couldn't say that she loved Ben because that simply would not have been true. There was a time during their fling that she had felt like she might have been falling in love with him, but she had decided that was more lust than love. Ben was still waiting on her response, and was beginning to feel a bit stupid for his admission. Nadia didn't want to respond with words since there was nothing she could say that wouldn't hurt him, so she simply started kissing him again. Ben took this as a sign that she felt the same way, and swept her up into his arms while he kissed her. He carried her like that all the way to the car, and could barely focus on driving as they held hands and stole kisses all the way on the drive to his house. Once they reached his home, he hardly got the door open before he began to kiss her again. He pressed her back against the wall as he kissed her first softly but quickly progressing to a much more heated embrace. He picked her up again and never stopped kissing her as he carried her to his bed. After he laid her down, he began to kiss all over her starting from her toes. He kissed each one before nibbling at her ankles and continuing to kiss up her inner legs and thighs. By the time he reached her panties to peel them off she was already dying for him to make love to her. He would eventually get around to that request, but first he wanted to finish worshipping every inch of her. He skipped licking what was in between her thighs, and instead grabbed her dress to pull it over her head. He kissed her once he got it off, and then began his trail of kisses again now starting at her hips. He licked up her stomach, stopping to tease her belly button, and finally arrived at her breasts. His tongue slowly trailed around her areola, driving her crazy, before he took her nipple into his mouth. The shockwave that went straight down to her aching pussy was a muscle tremor he could definitely feel. He continued to lick and nibble on her left nipple until it was fully hard, and then gave the same treatment to her right breast. By this time Nadia was beginning to lose it. Her hips bucked wildly at every touch from his tongue. She had to have him now or she was going to lose her mind. She grabbed his head, and kissed him with all the urgency of a woman who desperately needed to be satisfied. She sat up while she kissed him, and her hands began working on stripping him out of his pants and boxers. Finally she stopped kissing him to take his shirt off. Once she had him the way she wanted, she laid back down and motioned for him to come here with her finger. She certainly didn't need to tell him twice. Ben climbed on top of her and resumed kissing her but slowly this time. Nadia wrapped her legs around his hips in anticipation, but he was intentionally not putting himself inside of her yet. He wanted to enjoy every moment of making love to her. However, Nadia's hormones were already going wild so she maneuvered underneath his body until she managed to get the tip in by herself. Once that much was in he couldn't help but slide the rest into her. She gasped once he had fully inserted himself inside her. It had been weeks since she had sex, and the feeling of him inside her was more pleasure than she could have imagined. Ben was feeling a bit breathless himself. Nadia felt unbelievably tight, and he had to pause once fully inside just to enjoy the feeling. Neither of them said a word as Ben pulled almost completely out of her and slowly slid back in. Their heavy breathing in between kisses and the sounds that their bodies were creating were the only noise in his bedroom. He never increased his speed as he took his time pleasuring Nadia. He could tell from her staccato breathing when she was on the edge of her first orgasm, but he still continued at his pace. By the time Ben finally lost control of his orgasm, Nadia had cum at least twice that he could feel. He gave her a kiss on the forehead before repositioning himself to lay behind her and cuddle. They slept in that position all night. ********* After that night Nadia VanZant could have sworn that aliens had abducted the Ben she had met at Club Ice months ago. Either he was a fantastic actor or Ben Morrison had become a whole new man. He was actually sweet, charming, funny, and the more time she spent with him the closer she came to finally telling him that she loved him. Her last few weeks at work seemed to go by too quickly as she spent her days flirtatiously playing with him in his office, and handling all his secretarial work until he could find a replacement for Liz. She began regularly staying at his house nightly again, and even confessed the true nature of her relationship with Ben to her roommate Alyssa. Of course she was upset that she hadn't told her sooner, but then she congratulated her on "getting a cute rich white man." Everything seemed to finally be lining up perfectly for her and Ben. From One Night Ch. 06 Ben pinned Nadia against the wall, and kissed her like he had been hungry for her lips all day. His hands roamed her body before settling on her plump ass. He squeezed it hard as he moved from kissing her lips to biting her neck. His lips began to roam down further to her breasts, but she stopped him before he could get her nipples into his mouth. "I have something else in mind," Nadia said with a devilish grin. She dropped to her knees, and took his entire length into her mouth. She gagged a bit when she had fit him all in, but continued to hold him inside and swirl her tongue around it for almost a full minute. When she finally released him, she ran her tongue all over his head before beginning to suck him like a porn star. Each time he moaned she felt herself getting wetter. She wanted to make him cum so badly. Ben had to grab her hair just to hold on to something. His toes were all curled as Nadia gave him the best blowjob he had ever had in his life. He stopped her before he reached his orgasm and told her to get up and turn around. As soon as he had her in position, he wasted no time in sliding himself inside of her. She was wetter than he had ever felt before. "O God Ben...that feels so good," Nadia moaned as Ben slid into her from behind. His hands wrapped around her waist as he pushed himself in as deep as he could. He started with slow strokes as his hands found his way to her breasts to pinch her nipples. Nadia began rubbing her clit as Ben continued to slowly stroke himself in and out of her. He felt so good inside of her she knew it wasn't going to be long before she came... "Nadia...Nadia!" Professor Hawthorn exclaimed after she had to call on Nadia twice before she even blinked. Nadia had been daydreaming in class again. It was her last semester in college and frankly she had become the definition of a student with senioritis. In addition to that condition, she had also been struck by the love bug which essentially equaled a complete inability to focus in class. "Sorry professor, what was the question?" Nadia said as soon as she realized the entire class was looking at her. If she were white she would have been red from her embarrassment. "The question was whether you were paying attention in my class which you have clearly answered. You can dismiss yourself from my class until you can focus on my lecture," Professor Hawthorn replied in her typical stern voice. Nadia quickly and quietly placed her notebook back in her bookbag and headed for the door. She hated being put on the spot in front of the entire class. Luckily it was an honors class so it was small with only 15 students. However, only having that many peers is also exactly how she'd been caught daydreaming anyway. "O well, I guess I can go spend the afternoon with Ben now," Nadia thought with a smile. Her parents would have been mortified if they knew how many times she had skipped class to go out with her new boyfriend. She hadn't told them much about him except that he had already graduated college and had a great job in marketing. She wasn't exactly sure how they would react to his race so when they assumed he was black she just followed their lead. She figured when they reached the "meet the parents" conversation she would let it be a surprise. She called Ben a few times to let him know she was heading over to his office, but he never answered. There was nothing else to do on campus so she figured she'd just head over to meet him at his office. Nadia hopped into her Lexus and turned the volume up as high as it would go on her new Lady Gaga album. She sped down I-85 as she sang "Bad Romance" at the top of her lungs. When she pulled into Ben's office, she made sure to check her makeup and hair. She always tried to look her best when she came to see her man. "Good afternoon Nadia, how can I help you?" Ben's new assistant Meagan greeted her as soon as she stepped off the elevator. "Hey Meagan I was just trying to catch Ben to see if he wanted to grab some lunch. Is he available?" Nadia said while peeking around Meagan to see Ben's office. "No, I'm sorry Nadia. He is out with a client today. I'll be sure to let him know you stopped by though," Meagan replied. Nadia was admittedly a bit sad that she couldn't reach Ben to get him to play hooky with her for the day, but at least now she might be able focus on getting some homework or studying done. "Thanks Meagan. I'll just give him a call a bit later," Nadia said as she walked to the elevator. As she got on to head back out to the car, two other ladies joined her. She didn't recognize them so she figured they had to be new. They were already in mid-conversation as they stepped inside the elevator. "Yea I know what you mean. That man definitely has the best body in the office," the blonde girl said. "Are you kidding? I think he has the only great body in the office. I mean there are only a couple men at BGM anyway," the brunette replied. "Very true. I can only imagine what he must look like shirtless," the blonde said while pretending to fan herself. "Well I will be sure to let you know tonight. We are going on a date tonight. I am thinking dinner and then..."the brunette replied with plenty of excitement as they walked off the elevator together. Nadia had listened to the conversation and couldn't help but wonder who they were talking about. After all, as the brunette girl had said, there were only a few men at BGM. The men who were desirable were even fewer. Could they have been talking about Ben? Ben had said he would be busy tonight, but she figured he had a business meeting. She tried to shake her suspicious thoughts as she drove home, but she couldn't get it off her mind. All her calls to Ben were still going to his voicemail. Usually she didn't want to seem too clingy so she tried not to call him too often, but now she had called him at least twice an hour. Nadia finally decided to go for a run to take her mind off the issue. But even as she ran her mind began to wander back to Ben. "Was it possible that Ben had returned back to his old "player" ways?" she thought. "No, he loves me now. Right? I just need to let this go. It's nothing. I trust Ben. I trust him, and everything is fine. He has just been busy with work lately. Besides, that girl could have been talking about any of those guys at BGM. I mean Ted from accounting is decent. His body isn't great, but he is a really sweet guy. I am letting this go. I am just going to trust that Ben is a better person than he used to be." Nadia continued to try to convince herself that everything was fine as she ran, but she couldn't shake the feeling that Ben would cheat on her if the right brunette or blonde came along. ************ Across town Ben had been spending the day getting all the details together for his big plan. Tonight was the night he was going to propose to Nadia VanZant. Money had been no object as he laid out the perfect way to make this night everything Nadia could have ever dreamed of. A week ago, he had been lying in bed with Nadia talking about what her plans were after graduation. She had mentioned a couple potential job offers, but the main offers she was considering were in New York and Atlanta. It was right at that moment, while he held her in his arms, that he realized he didn't know how he would live without her if she left. He had determined that night that the only way to make sure she stayed with him forever was to make her his wife. Since then, he had been running around like a crazy man trying to get all the details worked out while keeping everything hidden from Nadia. His idea was to surprise her with a limo showing up at her door. The limo would then take her to a salon where her hair and nails would be done. Afterwards, she would be taken to a dress shop where a stunning black dress and diamond encrusted heels had been laid out for her. Finally, she would be dropped off at the Westin hotel and escorted up to the Sun Dial restaurant. He had bought out the entire restaurant so they would be alone with a beautiful view of all of Atlanta as he proposed to her. The tricky part had been keeping all of this secret from Nadia. They spent almost everyday together, so it was hard not to slip and mention something about the extravagant proposal plan he had assembled. He had determined the easiest way to not give away any information was to avoid her for the week as he set his plan in motion. Today was finally the day he had been waiting for. He called his limo driver to instruct him to head to her house as soon as she was scheduled to be home from class. It was now 3:00pm so he figured the ball would be rolling on his plan within the next 30 minutes. He was so anxious he couldn't sit down. He kept thinking that there had to be something he was forgetting or missing, or someone he needed to call or instruct. Ben was a complete mess until his driver called to tell him he had Nadia in the car and was headed to the salon. "Everything is going to go perfect tonight," Ben thought while smiling, and for the first time that day he took a deep breathe and relaxed. ************ Back at Nadia's Nadia was both confused and shocked. When she arrived home from her run, there was a limo outside her door. "Excuse me, are you Miss Nadia VanZant?" the driver asked. He had been given a picture of her so he knew her as soon as she approached the door to her apartment. "Yes I am, how can I help you?" Nadia replied while still reaching for her keys to the door. "Mr. Morrison would like me to escort you to have your hair and nails done," the driver said while reaching to open the door of the limo. "Right now?" Nadia asked still very confused. "Yes, if that is okay with you," the driver replied. He was attempting to get her to come with him without answering too many questions since Ben had asked him not to give away the surprises of the day. "Ok well let me just give Ben a call really quick," Nadia said while reaching for her cell phone. She called Ben twice, but he didn't answer. "O well," she thought. "I might as well go. After all I could use a free mani and pedi. Ben is so sweet. I can't believe I doubted him." With that in mind, she hopped inside the limo and prepared to go get a day of beauty courtesy of her very sweet boyfriend. When she arrived at the salon, it was complete chaos. It seemed like every time she sat down to have one service done, she was quickly taken to have something else done. However by the time they were finished, she looked stunning. Even though she was still in her jogging suit, she had a fresh set of French tip acrylic nails, a French tip pedicure, a beautiful spiral curled hair style, and they had even done her makeup. She was certainly feeling like a princess as she headed to the limo to go home. She couldn't wait to get home to show Alyssa the final product of the day of beauty Ben had bought her. "If this was his way of making up for not being able to see me tonight and being so busy lately then I hope he makes that mistake a lot," she thought while smiling to herself. The limo driver stopped outside of a boutique she had never heard of before, and opened up her door. "What's going on?" Nadia said in confusion and anticipation. She was about to jump up and down screaming if Ben was taking her on a shopping spree now. "You will see inside," the driver said with a knowing grin. Nadia attempted to control herself as she went inside the boutique. The saleswoman greeted her as soon as she walked in, "Welcome Miss VanZant! Your order is here waiting. Please go in and try it on. If there are any alterations necessary we can handle them immediately." Nadia was still confused, but she grabbed the package and headed to a dressing room. When she opened it she had to gasp. Inside was the most beautiful black dress she had ever seen. The dress had a v-cut in the front that showed off the little cleavage she had, and in the back it dipped all the way down to the small of her back. It fit every curve of her perfectly, and had a sexy split on the right side that ran all the way up to the middle of her thigh. When she stepped out of the dressing room, the saleswoman took one look at her and declared that something was missing. When she returned she had a shoe box in her hand. "I think these will go with that dress perfectly," she said with a smile. Nadia opened the shoe box and almost dropped it. "Are those diamonds? I mean real diamonds?" Nadia said almost unable to catch her breathe. "Yes ma'am," the saleswoman said as if it were nothing unusual. Nadia was sure she was about to either faint or have a heart attack. She was holding shoes that were probably more expensive than her entire tuition from all 4 of her years at Spelman. "I can't accept these. Do you have any other shoes available?" Nadia said while attempting to hand the shoes back. "I'm sorry but those were specially chosen for you by Mr. Morrison," the saleswoman replied. Nadia couldn't believe Ben had bought her such an expensive gift. She put the shoes on with her dress, and felt just like Cinderella. There was no way that this day could get any better. After she had twirled around in the mirror enough to be satisfied that she was gorgeous, she took the dress off and it was taken to the limo. "Are we headed back to my house now driver?" Nadia said feeling a bit exhausted from all of the excitement of the day. "We have one more stop Ms. VanZant," the driver simply replied while heading to the Westin hotel. When they arrived, Nadia was excited to see what her last surprise of the day would be. The driver handed her dress and shoes to a bellhop who proceeded to escort her to a hotel room. Inside the room was a note from Ben. It said, "Nadia I hope you have enjoyed your day today. I would love for you to join me upstairs at the Sun Dial restaurant for dinner tonight. You will find everything you need to get freshened up is available here. Should you need anything else, feel free to call the concierge. I look forward to seeing you tonight. Love, Ben." She smiled the entire time she read the note. Ben was so romantic and sweet. She felt terrible that she had spent the earlier part of the day thinking he was capable of hurting her. She needed to let go of her memory of the old Ben, and focus on the person he was now. *********** In the Sun Dial Restaurant Ben had been in the restaurant pacing for at least an hour. He had come over as soon as his driver called to let him know that Nadia had arrived at the hotel. He was extremely nervous as he mentally practiced his speech repeatedly. He had never thought this day would come for him, and now he felt completely unprepared. When Nadia finally walked through the doors of the restaurant, he lost track of any thoughts he had been having. She looked stunning, gorgeous, and amazing. He was completely in awe. "Ben!" Nadia exclaimed while running over to hug and kiss him. "Baby I love, love, love you! Thank you so much! This dress is so beautiful, and these shoes are just beyond words. I don't know what I did to deserve all this, but thank you so much baby!" Nadia didn't think she would ever be able to let go of him. She kept kissing him despite the fact that he was attempting to make her let go. "Nadia I'm glad to see you too but you have to let go," Ben said while wriggling out of her grasp. She feigned a pouty face momentarily, but followed him as he took her hand and lead her to a table that offered the most beautiful view of the city. "Nadia, I'm glad you enjoyed all of the surprises I planned for you today. You said you didn't know what you did to deserve all this, but you should know. You deserve anything I can give because you have helped make me a better man. I love you, and I don't know what I would ever do if you weren't by my side," Ben said before getting out of his seat and taking Nadia's hand while getting down on one knee. "I guess what I am trying to say is Nadia VanZant will you marry me?" Nadia was completely taken aback. She had never guessed that everything he had done that day was leading up to a proposal. She wanted to scream yes, but when she opened her mouth all that came out was, "Ben, I can't." Now Ben was the one stunned. He had never expected her to say no. He jerked his hand back from hers as if it had burned him. "Ben I'm sorry it's just that I don't know if we are ready for that yet. I love you but we have only been serious a few weeks, and I still have my doubts about trusting you occasionally. I really do love you, I just can't jump into saying yes to marrying you until I'm sure. I do want to marry you someday I just don't think right now is the right time," Nadia pleaded to him. She needed him to understand that she did love him, and that she would want to marry him someday but this was just too sudden. She hadn't even told her parents all the real details of her relationship! She couldn't call them and say she was getting married. Besides that, she knew from earlier that day that she wasn't sure if she 100% trusted him yet. She just needed some time. Ben couldn't find any words to say. He was hurt beyond belief. He simply backed away from the table, and headed for the door. "Ben! Please wait. Can we talk about this?" Nadia ran after him in tears. She tried to touch him, but he moved away. He could feel the tears welling in his eyes as he pushed the elevator button anxiously. He needed to get away from her and fast. Nadia did the only thing she could think to do which was to grab him and try to kiss him. He tried to resist returning her kiss, but his body overpowered his mind and he felt his tongue sliding into her mouth. Their faces were both wet with tears as they kissed passionately. Ben pulled away from her after a minute of kissing and looked into her eyes. He could see that she was searching for a response that meant that everything would be fine, but he couldn't say that. "I've got to go Nadia," Ben said while getting on the elevator. She didn't want to push the issue any further until he had some time to himself so she let the elevator go without getting inside. She had no idea it would be the last time she had the chance to talk to Ben Morrison. The End *********** Epilogue Nadia called Ben repeatedly on his cell phone, but it was never on. She attempted to show up at his office and apartment, but security wouldn't let her through. Any time she called his office, his secretary would tell her he was unavailable. After a few weeks of trying, she realized there was nothing else she could do. She felt awful that she had turned down Ben's proposal but she knew it wasn't the right time. She would have married him one day, but she wasn't ready for that step yet. Nadia finished out her last semester at Spelman without speaking to Ben once. She decided that she needed to forget about him, and move on with her life. She accepted the job offer from New York, and moved away as soon as she received her diploma. She may have been running from her past in Atlanta, but she knew she would never forget her first love. * Note from the Author: Wow this has been such a journey trying to figure out the right way to end this story. For all the people who have come to love Ben and Nadia I know you have to hate that they didn't end up together, but I like to involve some of my personal life into my stories and frankly in the end of the real life story I ended up single but still in love. Not to give away too much, but you will see Nadia and Ben again in my other stories. Much Love, ChocolateSwirl
