At The Edge of: Desire

Chapter 8: Hard on Halloween

Halloween was around the corner and Shelby had not seen it coming, unlike her boyfriend who she had seen, doing so on many different occasions. She liked being the cause of that pleasure, of learning all the different techniques to please him. She also liked the holiday where humanity was allowed to tap into its more dark side although it was increasingly more and more commercial. To her it was more than just a day, where people slapped on too make-up and slammed down way too much to drink, it was a celebration of some of the darker elements of the human psyche, a fascination with the morbid and the topics that polite society normally wouldn't touch, it was an opportunity to explore the anxieties which kept us up at night.

The young CEO However wasn't a fan of horror movies, she could stomach one or two if they were well made and had intriguing plots and characters deeper than a petri-dish, the stuff with the gratuitous gore, held no water with her. She could understand the appeal of them on some logical level, but extended scenes with gratuitous butchery of human anatomy and ceaseless wails of pain didn't make up for a paper thin story and characters as 1 dimensional as a politician. She had become a person that guarded her time jealously because she was so busy most of it, she didn't have time for anything which was getting bad reviews and lacked any shred of creative integrity, like some of the remakes and sequels that she saw being churned out by major studios.

Shelby hadn't seen Tommy for a couple of days but when she had last, it had been at his house, in his bed with the springs taking a lot of pressure. They had enjoyed dinner together and conversation about life and some interesting topics before she had used the energy from the food and fucked him with as much fervency as she could muster. She had pinned him down on the bed in the face of half-hearted protests and ridden that sweet black cock as if she had stolen it from the dildo store. She had bounced on top of him until it was ready to empty his testicles into her, assaulting his manhood with her womanhood in a way which made the entire bed rock, there had been frustrations in her that only his cock seemed to reach and when she came her entire body had shaken with the release.

Shelby was lost in the memory, a wistful smile on her face. It was hard to believe it had been three days already since that fantastic evening and she had been ready for more by the second day but work had kept them both busy. She sat back in her office chair, she was in her home office, sat behind her desk, and a glass of kale and mango smoothie in her hand, in one hand. There wasn't time to cook and so she had made a sandwich and was now having a homemade blend which she hoped would help to keep her energy up. This was part of the problem with being busy all the time, sometimes the most basic things got forgotten in the pursuit of these endless goals and she now had an entire team of staff, people with idea, problems and suggestions, most of which were valid and had to be considered.

Currently she was writing some emails to address complaints within the company, she had investigated a pay discrepancy for a Coder who was worried about being underpaid, a marginalisation complaint had been clarified as a simple matter of miscommunication between two of her staff who seemed to have more friction to come in the near future. And then she had moved on to making a complaint of her own, chasing up a client that had only paid half of what he owed her on grounds of not being satisfied with the service he was currently receiving, even though she had held up her end of the contract. She sent him the reminder to pay up and attached a copy of the contract they had agreed to, just to make sure they were clear, but she also notified her lawyer about the matte just in case he was needed to escalate things further.

Soon boredom started to set in as she continued typing away at the keyboard of the laptop, she checked one of her social media pages and found a young guy training hard in the gym and recording it for the gram, he was doing pull-ups and making them look too easy, this reminded her of Tommy who she knew could do the same thing but without the freakish size which made the man look like a video game character. The young CEO was now distracted, her mind's eye envisioning her significant other taking off his crisply ironed shirt, revealing his broad shoulders, thick biceps and triceps and forearms which had mass and veins running down the length of them. She gave a sigh, took a sip of her drink and tried to refocus on what she was doing at the desk.
