You entered the lobby of your 4-story apartment building. You were mentally and spiritually exhausted. Your day had been terrible, and it was only Tuesday. Your boss decided that the report that you produced -- directly copied from a previous report that he found acceptable -- was in entirely the wrong format with the wrong text styles. He also criticized the quality of the content and the amount of effort you had put into it. He called it sloppy and the product of lazy work.
You'd spent 12 hours on that report and had included a clear and concise summary of the results at the start of the document. Each point had a two-paragraph explanation of where the results came from and what they meant. You had written it in plain and basic (almost simple) language; your boss was not the sharpest tool in the box.
He had spent the rest of the day finding little things to pick at you with -- complaining that your clothes were too boring, that you shouldn't need a sweater in the office because 70° Fahrenheit was a perfectly reasonable temperature, and anything higher would make too many employees uncomfortable and sweaty -- he mainly meant himself and the other males in the office.
He didn't like the way you arranged your desk, even though there was nothing on it. He complained that your keyboard was crooked, and that everything was all dusty and messing up the feng shui of the whole office. He complained that your hair was too neat and made you look severe and unforgiving. He thought your perfume; you weren't wearing any; was too aggressively floral and likely to trigger the allergies of other staff. Your skirt was too short; below the knee; and would make the men in the office think you were immoral and looking to get promoted on your back rather than through hard work.
It was your first job out of college, and you'd only been there two months, so you couldn't switch jobs without looking unreliable to other potential employers.
The foyer of your apartment building was sweltering -- it was above 92° Fahrenheit. The steam furnace must be malfunctioning again because it was also swampy with humidity. You checked your mail and found only junk mail and bills that you could barely afford. The elevator was out of order again. You would have to climb the stairs to your fourth-floor studio that overlooked a dank alley.
You were able to climb to the 3rd floor landing before you had to stop and rest. You stood leaning against the wall, panting, sweating, and nearly crying.
A man stepped out into the stairs from the 3rd floor. He was tall, fit, and rugged. He was dressed in immaculate business casual -- pressed long sleeve shirt, tie, sharply creased pants and well-polished and cared for oxfords. He was wearing a cologne that was a mix of smoke, leather, and salt. Your whole body felt overwhelmed by everything, and you started to slump to the ground.
He grabbed you up in his arms and stood you back against the wall. He remained close and looked into your eyes for a moment.
He smiled in a way that was both sly and slightly dangerous. "You've had a hard day, haven't you?". You started to answer but he leaned his body against you and put his finger over your lips to shush you. You could feel the strength in his arms, and the tightness of his abs against you, and his cologne was still overwhelming your senses.
"I know just the thing to perk you up. Do you want me to perk you up?". You nodded.
"Say yes."
Your body shivered a bit, "Yes".
"Say Yes, I want it".
Your voice became softer and meeker, "Yes, I want it".
His smile got a little more dangerous and dominating. He pulled your arms above your head and used one hand to hold them tight against the wall. He used the rest of his upper body to keep you tightly pressed against the wall.
"Just relax and don't scream."
