part of that camp too before I realized that much of the aggression he presents to the world is a façade to cover the pain he's experienced over the death of his sister and the fall-out from that. The man who slept with me tucked in his bed last night has lived with loss for too long. I know that I can help him move forward just as he can help me.
"I'm working on that new shopping app we discussed last week. Do you want an update on that?"
"Don't tell anyone I'm about to say this…" His voice trails off as he takes a large step into my office, closing the door behind him. "You've come up with more ideas in the few weeks that you've been here than I've come up with in the past five years."
I laugh aloud at the confession. "I won't tell anyone."
"The week after next we're doing a media blitz day." He gestures toward the calendar hanging on the wall behind me. "We present a lot of new stuff that we'll be rolling out in time for the holidays."
I'm well aware of what he's talking about. Even though I've been happily serving coffee for the past few years, I've read every tech journal that is available. I've watched countless videos online whenever one of the major tech companies had an announcement. I know all about the importance of presenting what you have to offer to potential consumers before the competition does. "Are you thinking of launching one of the apps then?"
"I was thinking of launching the shopping one," he begins before taking a seat at one of the chairs near my desk. "I was wondering if you wanted the platform to present one of your personal apps."
I lean my elbows on my desk for support. "Are you asking me if I want to launch one of my own apps at your press event?"
"That's exactly what I'm asking you."
"Why would you do that?" I ask before I realize how ungrateful the question sounds. "I mean, it's such a generous offer."
"You are the future of programming, Lilly." He tilts his head to the side. "Everyone here agrees with me. If I can help you bring more attention to what you're developing personally, it brings more attention to the company as a whole. It's a win-win."
I scratch my neck, trying to decide my next move. "I do have an app that is very near completion. It's not something I'm going to market for profit. It's more a personal passion of mine."
"If you want, you can present it at our event."
"I always imagined I'd launch it quietly," I say aloud. "I just never imagined having a platform like that at my disposal."
"Get the shopping app ready to go and then use whatever resources you need here to get your own app set for launch." He nods towards my computer. "Take a day or two to give it serious thought. If you're comfortable with doing it, you can personally present both during our media day."
"I'll think about it."
"Good." He stands and walks back towards my office door. "Corteck always waits to plan their day until we've scheduled ours. They'll present on Thursday and we'll do Friday."
I just smile knowing that his intention is to look out for me. "Thank you for the opportunity, Alec."
"Thank you for falling from the heavens into our tech division, Lil." He opens the door to step through. "You're our saving grace."

"I don't think I can do it, Clive. Please."
"Sometimes, when I think about fucking this beautiful body." He positions himself above me. His bicep bulging as he balances the weight of his entire body on one hand. "I almost come on the spot."
I moan just as I feel the tip of his sheathed cock glide over my core. "I've already come so much. Everything is aching."
"You're swollen." He licks his lips as he stares down at me. "I love the taste of you. I would have eaten you again if you didn't push me away."
I had to out of sheer and desperate need. He'd pushed me onto my stomach after sliding my panties down. His thumb had pressed into my clit while he licked my pussy from behind. I'd come hard and fast before he started at me again. Now, the most
