He had fucked her again after that. He had rolled her over onto her stomach and taken her while she lay flat on the bed. The entire time, he had his hand in her hair, pulling her head back so he had access to her neck. And in between kissing, biting, and sucking on her neck, he'd continued to tell her what he thought of her. He'd called her names, degrading names that a woman like her, a professional with a career, a strong independent woman, knew she should hate him for.
And she'd tried to deny him. She'd told him to go to hell, that there was no way she would give in to his bullshit blackmail. She'd struggled more against him and tried to push him off of her. But he was so much bigger and stronger than she was and he'd used his strength to maneuver her so she had no control over what happened to her.
"You are such a little cumslut, Elizabeth. I knew you would be a good fuck but I didn't know your pussy'd be so eager to have my cock. God, can you feel that, slut? Can you feel how tight and wet your pussy is and how hard I am inside you? Feel my cock deep inside you? Yeah, here I come again, baby girl, slamming into your cunt, hard inside you, pumping that sweet tight little cunt of yours. Your pussy is so damn tight, it's hard to believe you're such a slut. And you are, aren't you? Just another cumslut. I wonder if you even know how many men you've let fuck this amazing tight pussy... Well, you're my cumslut now..."
On and on. It seemed like the more degrading his words, the hotter and wetter she felt, and the harder his cock became. And the harder his cock got, the more words came from his mouth. It was a never ending cycle and, when he finally finished with her, she was exhausted. Emotionally and physically. She could not wrap her mind around what was happening to her body and her self-confidence.
He'd told her, once he let her get dressed, that he meant it. If she didn't do as he asked, when he asked, he would send a copy of these tapes to each of the partners at her law firm. And he'd let her know that the editing would show just what a whore she was. He threatened to ruin her reputation and her career. They'd fire her in an instant before they'd let it get out that their number one litigator was a fucking whore, because once that was out, she was useless to them.
Driving home, through those same windy roads, her mind was in constant motion. The storm had passed but there was debris everywhere on and alongside the road. The winds had left a huge mess in their wake. She again thought of the metaphor, the disarray her life had been launched into last night when Mark had betrayed her. She'd thought he gave a shit about her, that the passion he displayed was emotional as well as physical. But all of it, she now realized, was a ploy to get in her pants. Why did she always fall for these assholes? And how was she going to handle the threat Mark had made against her?

She found her way home. Her body ached as she climbed the stairs, then up still more stairs to her bedroom. All she could think about was a hot hot shower. She tossed her clothes on the floor and stepped into the steamy space, feeling the heat of the water flow over her body, her shoulders, her breasts, her ass and her thighs.
She couldn't stop thinking about Mark. She was shocked to find that, mostly, she couldn't stop thinking about the sex and the way he had spoken to her. Nobody had ever spoken to her like that. Nobody had ever exerted any sort of dominance; hell, she'd never let any man feel like he had control over any situation. She was too stubborn and too methodical to let that happen, before this. Before Mark had just taken control, established his power over her.
She still couldn't believe hot that had made her, how turned on by it all she was. She could feel her clit start tingling as she thought of the nasty things he'd said to her. She pushed it out of her mind. She had more important things to think about than sex. Her fucking career was being toyed with!
After ten minutes or so of the water relaxing her shoulders, her mind began to calm. There was no way she was going to let him dictate terms to her. She would rather resign from the firm than continue to work there with the humiliation and degradation that would come with Mark's demands. She turned off the water, stepped out and grabbed her towel, heading straight for her home office as she wrapped the towel around her. She sat down at her computer and began to write.
"The best defense is a good offense," she said aloud to herself. Screw Mark. Screw her partners. She'd just quit. Then Mark would have no control over the future of her career. Before she realized it, she'd sent the email off to Jon, the firm's managing partner. It was a request for a morning meeting with him. She began to sketch out how the conversation would go, what she needed to say. She knew what this meant. It meant she couldn't work for another firm. If Mark was willing to follow through on his threat at this firm, he could very well take those tapes to the next one, and the next one, and the next one. No way in hell she was going to keep running from him. If she was going to do this, if she was going to eliminate the threat Mark held against her career, she was going to have to find a way to survive on her own.
And that meant opening her own firm. And that meant telling Jon her intentions but not until after she had maneuvered her client information... She set to work next on her client list. It was going to be a long day and a long night.

Around 11 pm she finally felt like she had a good strategy and a good business plan. She'd researched office space and malpractice coverage and all the things she knew she was going to need to budget for to make this work. She'd drafted the letter to her clients and she'd thought through all she needed to say to Jon so she could walk out the door with the business of those clients. She started thinking about how she needed to dress to make the biggest impact and she stood up to go peruse her closet.
Just as she did, her email inbox dinged. It was a new email from Mark. And there was an attachment. "Fuck," she shouted at her computer, "how the hell did he get my personal email address!??!"
She sat back down with a thud and resignedly clicked on the email.
