This is my first submission on here. I hope you like it. I am not sure if I am going to continue it on as a series or not. I am always open to constructive criticism.

Sunday night. The bane of Cayley Lane's existence.
She had been with the hotel for 3 years and always hated the slowness of Sunday nights. She would sit in the back room waiting for a guest to come in and entertain her, even for a short while. Even with a laptop to keep her company, nothing could replace the interactions with other human beings that she loved.
DING! DING!
The bell ripped Cayley out of her daydreaming and she rushed to the front desk in a hurry.
"Hello, welcome to the Backwoods Inn, What is the name on the reser..." Cayley stopped dead in her tracks when she looked up at the guest.
Right in front of her stood a man with rugged good looks and deep green eyes in a black pinstripe suit. He looked all business, except for the smirk that spread across his face when Cayley froze.
"Michael Lambridge." His voice was smooth and soft, a sweet seduction in itself.
Cayley shook her head away and looked at the arrivals list on her computer.
Lambridge, Michael. 2 days. Corporate rate.
She couldn't help but avoid eye contact as she checked him into the hotel. Even though she wanted to see him again, she felt compelled to keep him away. She chose room 330, the highest floor, farthest room away from the front desk. He didn't seem to mind the room location, and as quickly as he appeared, he was gone again. Cayley caught a quick glance at his back, and realized he hadn't brought a bag. She quickly dismissed it and tried to get back to trying to entertain herself.
That didn't last very long.
Before she knew it her thoughts were devoured by the face of the smirking guest and sexual thoughts raced through her. Her heart raced at the thoughts, and she could feel her thong becoming wet. She had had handsome guests before that she fantasized about, but none of them oozed dominance like this Mr. Lambridge.
The rest of the night went along smoothly, with only a few walk-ins. By the time the clock rang 11:50, she had all but fallen asleep. She quickly tallied up her drawer and did a quick In-House check.
Right as Taylor was walking through the door for
3rd shift, the phone rang.
Room 330.
"Front desk." Cayley quickly answered the phone.
"Hello. My air conditioner does not seem to be working. Can somebody come take a look at it?"
"Well, our maintenance guy is off today, I can have him fix it first thing in the morning."
"I need it fixed tonight." Cayley rolled her eyes. She had not pegged him for a trouble guest.
"I will have somebody come up as soon as possible."
"Make sure you do." The phone abruptly hung up and Cayley let out a sigh. It was 12:04 and she knew
Taylor would not go up to his room, even though he had less of a chance of being cut up like the black dahlia by some psycho guest.
"Taylor, can you please take care of a guest for me? I should be clocking out right now."
Taylor shook his head and said, "You picked up the phone, it's your responsibility."
Cayley let out a huge sigh. That's what she gets for working for a company full of lazy losers.
Cayley grabbed the a/c monitor and the front desk key and headed on up to room 330, fuming from head to toe.
She had wanted to get a couple drinks from the local bar before the 12:30 closing time, but that wasn't going to happen now.
She knocked twice on the door before saying "front desk". The door opened smoothly and there he was.
Her anger spilled out of her body when she saw him in nothing but long green pajama pants and a black muscle shirt. He looked comfortable and sexy in the worst way. He motioned for Cayley to enter and she had to snap back into reality and head for the a/c unit. She quickly plugged the monitor into the unit and her heart stopped when it read "no errors".
The a/c wasn't broken.
Slowly, she turned around to find him standing in front of the door with his arms crossed over his chest and an evil looking smirk splayed across his face.
She knew she was in trouble and instantly went for the window. When she looked outside, her decision to put him on the 3rd floor smacked her in the face. She had unknowingly put herself in a corner she couldn't get out of.
He slowly came towards her and she retreated into a corner.
"I've been watching you for a while, Cayley. I knew you would come up here alone. You know, sometimes you are a little too trusting, little one."
Cayley was taken aback. She hadn't ever seen him before, and she never got the feeling she was being watched.
"Please, just let me go before you do something you'll regret." Cayley wanted to scare him but her words came out shakily.
"Oh, I don't think I'll be regretting anything."
His smug smirk was back and she took the chance to attack. She ran at him quickly and nudged her right shoulder right into his stomach, knocking the wind out of him. He quickly recovered and locked his hands around her waist, holding her against his hard body. She laid a quick kick onto his right foot, but it didn't seem to hurt him much.
He let out a feral grunt before throwing her on the bed, knocking the wind out of her, and making her vision go hazy. She tried to scramble away but there was nowhere to go.
Her left ankle was snatched quickly and a sharp tug brought her back to him. Rolling around, she laid a kick to his stomach, and he let go of her ankle, stumbling backwards. That's when she knew she had screwed up. His eyes glowed with anger as he looked up through his tousled brown hair.
"You want to play rough. I can play rough." His words were as sharp as a knife.
He closed the distance between them in 2 long steps and grabbed her sharply by her hair before she could even breathe. His other hand quickly scooped her wrists behind her back. Her scalp was on fire and her neck was painfully craned as he once again had her on the bed. The weight of him on her back made it hard for her to breathe and tears streamed down her face, soaking the comforter underneath. His hand let go of her hair but he did not get off her. She could see him grabbing for something and she once again started fighting when she saw a length of rope that had been tied to the bottom of the headboard. The end of the rope had two cuffs that looked stronger than her.
Cayley bucked up at him and tried to twist out from under him, but he held her arms behind her back, making it painful for her to try to move.
Before she knew it, her hands were cuffed onto the headboard in front of her, and his weight was off of her. She tried to twist around and sit up but there wasn't enough slack to even get her hands an inch off the bed.
