The bus ride home was a blur. There was a curious lack of feeling as if Lena were a passenger in her own body. There was emptiness where there should have been panic and anxiety. Her body went through the motions of the journey home and it was only when she stood before the door of her studio that the weight of what happened hit her. Lena took the stairs with a tremble in her legs, her coat and scarf had kept her warm but beneath the layers, there was a cold sweat. Her head swam and Lena felt as if she might collapse with each step.
The drive with the little devil emoji hadn’t left her hand since stepping onto the bus. But now that Lena stood across from her laptop, she was reluctant to cross the distance, instead her eyes wandered over the room until they fell on her bed. Her favorite toy, Mr. Purple, lay innocently on the top, along with a few of his friends. Just hours before Lena had lain with them, naked and hunched over her phone with the vibrator buzzing against her clit. So lost in the excitement that came with the hunt for her drive that she had reveled in every shock that coursed through her body. The sheets were rumpled while Lena’s pillow was on the ground with several stains. Half her studio looked like it came from an amateur porn scene.
