on fire since December
so wild how I remember
so far in my mind
because i'm thinking about
forever.

Nobody said working with your best friend was easy.

But when you're running a million-dollar company aimed to bring pleasure to people worldwide, you are bound to push each other's buttons.

I love what Genie and I have created. Shameless was born to break the internet and rebuild it in the name of feminine pleasure. And we did exactly that. There was a big black hole in the industry of pleasure that practically screamed our names while wearing a 'for sale' sign. So we claimed this unknown land as our own.

Within months, erotic voice actors were logging into our app and producing content we could never have made on our own, and people were subscribing. We were offering a form of income while opening an infinite space for pleasure. From there, it took flight.

In Shameless you can find anything your heart desires without the fear of judgement from the people around you. If you were a dominant person looking for the soft tones of a submissive calling you daddy or sir, you could have it. Flip that in reverse? It's yours. A whole world of pleasure in the palm of your hand; I could never express my gratitude to both the creators or subscribers who used our platform.

"Genie, I still think we should at least reach out to some people, you never know who could say yes," I took a sip of my wine, glancing over at her to where she sat crocheting a blanket, her eyes transfixed on the movie unravelling before us.

She sighed breathlessly, dropped her yarn and gulped down nearly half of her wine.

"It's not a bad idea," I uncrossed my legs and sat forward, resting my arms on my knees.

We'd had this conversation before. Likely too many times this week alone.

I was getting restless while burning out. I wanted to offer our subscribers more.

In my humble opinion, it was worth an attempt at reaching out to celebrities–that term being used rather loosely. Not for their names, nor their status; but for our subscribers. A Shameless original series featuring voices that people could only fantasise about hearing in an erotic setting. We could hire the writers. We had the connections to try. But for now, this topic of conversation between Genie and myself was a minefield.

Genie remained silent.

"Is this what I get in return?" My tone came out more spiteful than I had wanted.

Her eyes narrowed, her head turned in slow motion until she was a laser pointed to maim her target, "What's that supposed to mean?"

The movie paused at an extremely unflattering angle of the handsome man on the screen. I would have laughed and mimicked the face for Genie if we weren't having this conversation. But I brought it up, and I believed in this with my whole heart. I wasn't going to back down just because she was as stagnant as a rock in a violent ocean.

When push came to shove, I shoved.

"I am trying to build upon what we already have, we can do more with Shameless and you don't seem to give a shit."

She dropped her yarn dramatically and threw her hands in the air, "We have a good thing going, why would we risk opening our doors to people who don't understand us? It's our asses on the line."
