Meeting after meeting. It seemed that every Tuesday and Thursday was like this ever since she was promoted to Manager of Talent Acquisition. The leade...ship staff was asking for the world from her recruiters while not giving them the budget to get it done. It was like trying to squeeze milk out of a turnip! She was so frustrated when she finally got home. To top it off, her husband of 15 years was out of town this week on a business trip. Normally, she would have gone for an evening jog after. He drew his fingers up and down her slit and teased his finger in a circle where he would enter her, soon. He drew a pale pink rose petal from his pocket and rubbed it against her parted lips. She gasped, surprised and titillated by his having chosen to fetishize an object so sacred to them both. The petal was satin-soft and she could tell it had been freshly plucked. Its scent was pungent. He drew the petal down the slender line of her neck and lingered over her nipples. The petal was thick. The only way I can prove that is to call in the Immigration Department. I don’t want to.’ Eleyna looked at me as if I was a slug that had crawled out from under a stone. Her voice showed her contempt. ‘And what do I have to do to stop you?’ ‘Nothing.’ ‘Nothing?’ She still sounded disgusted. ‘I am not going to call the Immigration Department because I think we can sort out your paperwork between us.’ Her face showed what she expected. I held up my hand. ‘Not how you think. I am not going to ask. Too uncivilized. Too uneducated. Too dirty. Too ugly. But to break your fragile structure, your hierarchy, the vast ugliness you hold down would take over, if only for spite, or to covet what they could never have, and this bright civilization with its dark core would become all darkness and ugliness. So no, I'm not a threat to you." You think you could topple an empire?" I know I could." Alone?" Yes." To demonstrate, Nick moves so fast he can barely be seen. He extracts every weapon he.
