At The Edge of: Desire

Chapter 1: Museum Trip

Shelby was a beautiful young business woman with a lot to prove, she knew this because she had so many male counterparts who were either actively competing with her or completely ahead of her. Her competition was constantly there and working hard to keep their slices of the market share and to steal from the plates of the other wolves at the economic table.

This was the nature of business, it was cold and ruthless, a constant march towards profit and success from which there could be no real rest unless she sold the company or found a worthy successor to run it in her stead. If people weren't trying to destroy you or steal from you, your company was worthless and Shelby knew he organisation was many things but far from worthless.

Despite all this, the business acumen which she had accrued over the years, the long hours spent in the office Monday to Friday and the extra work she did on the weekends she was still human. She needed to love, to be loved, she needed to feel Tommy's hands wrapped around her, holding her tight to him. She needed to feel his love stretching her, filling her, making her moan and cream as she gave herself up to him in every single way which lovers could.

Occupying the position of CEO for an app company which had been runningfor the past 5 years had been a challenge. Making that company grow in leaps and bounds had been its own lesson in focus and discipline. She had the aforementioned pressure of the competition without and the people who worked under her, within.

The work force which depended on her, the pressure was immense, this is part of the reason why Shelby had toys even at the workplace, something which she had never contemplated until the pressure of working around the clock had threatened to drive her to complete exhaustion but again remembering that she was a woman with needs, reminding herself that she needed to also handle other internal pressures not just the external had given her a clarity which allowed her to keep going where most people burned out. She had one hell of a sexual appetite although she hid it very well.

Tommy was her boyfriend, a muscled beast and something that had come out of nowhere and breathed new life into the romantic side of her. They both shared such an appetite for both romance and sex that she wondered how she had survived without the orgasmic sex that he could provide. She found that Tommy wasn't just another man in it to hit it and quit it, he wasn't just content to play games and then move on, he genuinely wanted a connection. She suspected that maybe he had been with so many women that he was now past the player phase, either way she wanted to lock him down.

This man who was one of the biggest shareholders in her company and the 'biggest' boyfriend both in terms of his physique and in terms of that thing which she had to squat down on and ride. He could plump to depths which had her eyes rolling into the back of her skull. He was built as if he had absorbed three lesser men to make one massive unit, the boulder shoulders, round bicep, quads, calves, wide chest and abs which you could grate fruit on. Even now, sitting in the office, Shelby was getting hot and bothered just thinking about him and what he did to her when they were all alone.

It had been a couple of months since Shelby had last left Chelmsford to go on holiday, things had been going great with the business and with Tommy but the only problem was that she really never had time for much of anything else. The daily grind was something that she couldn't ignore and was fully dedicated to, the only issue was that from time to time she would experience burnout and the only way to get over it was to take a break, go for dinner with Tommy, go to exercise or just wait for a while whilst on a long weekend getting pampered. She was in the heart of London with Tommy, they had rented a luxurious suite for themselves in a hotel with flashy décor, energetic staff and more amenities than they knew what to do with. It had been part of a long awaited weekend getaway to the city. For most people getting-away meant leaving the city but for Shelby it was the opposite way around, she knew that some of the best theatres, cinemas and clubs were to be found in the heart of London and not in little satellite cities which just couldn't hold a candle to the energy. People in London tended to be at the top of their game, making money and crushing it, you couldn't afford not to be doing well, it was too expensive and the rent alone would eat you alive.
