Perfect Match: Irresistible Desire For You

After the taxi stopped at an apartment building, Ashley dragged her tired, sore body into her spacious apartment.

Once inside, the neat, comfortable interior of her own space calmed her down somewhat, with its light-colored accessories and common furniture that were selected for function rather than form.

Ashley found this apartment after she had persuaded her family to let her work in another company instead of the family business.

It was conveniently located close to the city center and a mere thirty-minute drive from Ling Group.

Ashley entered her bedroom and headed straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

One look in the mirror showed her the bruises and traces of sex last night.

Then, she proceeded to scrub every inch of her body, as if that would erase the shame of last night.

When her family agreed to let her work for another company, she gave them her word that she would take good care of herself.

For her self-protection, she enrolled in classes teaching Taekwondo and other martial arts.

Still, she inexplicably lost her virginity in such a manner.

How could she explain this to her family?  All throughout the cab ride home, Ashley thought about the events of the previous night and was convinced that it was Charlie who set her up.

Even so, last night had happened, and there was nothing she could do to change her situation.

Thus, she had resolved to treat the experience as if a dog had bitten her.

One thing was for sure: she would never give Charlie another chance.
