1.2 Office Visit

Alex's dress shoes clacked off the polished concrete of SharpEdge's main lobby. It felt strange returning to his former job, his former corporate lord. The office building's entry was opulent and large, designed to make even the most confident person feel small. Truthfully, Alex was surprised when he received a call from the business he had said goodbye to only several months earlier to work as a freelancer.

Sharpedge was a marketing company, young, vibrant, and exciting. Delivering all the amenities and attractions which brought in young talent from both on and off the planet, Alex included. When he first saw the large white pillars, trendy ad displays, and fully decorated social areas, Alex remembered feeling like he had finally made it. But as Alex recalled the long hours, minimal pay, and ruthless workforce cuts, returning to SharpEdge felt more like walking into a well-decorated prison.

Lost in thought, Alex entered a clean white elevator and pressed the 11th-floor button. He waited as the elevator shot up without a sound, tapping his foot as he adjusted his dress shirt nervously. Alex knew he should be mentally preparing to sell his work to the corporate Nobles, but every time he tried running through his pitch, a familiar face appeared in his mind. His former girlfriend, Chloe, and whether or not he might run into her.

Chloe worked at SharpEdge as well, they had both joined the company together, granting them permanent planet-side residence. What was worse, Chloe worked on the same floor he was visiting. Alex adjusted his hair and let out a deep breath, doing his best to put Chloe out of his mind and focus on the job at hand.

The elevator doors dinged, and Alex promptly made his way over to the private offices. The office was familiar to him, and several old coworkers noticed him passing, giving him surprised smiles and waves. Alex reciprocated, finding himself almost missing the everyday comradery.

For the briefest moment, Alex found himself feeling hopeful, that perhaps this visit wouldn't be the torturous experience he had mentally prepared for. That was, until he turned a corner, and found Edward Solace standing at the office Alex had been directed to. He was tall, overdressed, and dripping with a level of arrogance befitting of a Corporate Lord. Alex contemplated taking another lap around the office to see if Edward might move on, but Edward noticed him before he could make a getaway.

"Alex! I see you found my office alright," Edward said with a booming voice as he outstretched his hand. Alex, knowing he had little choice, walked over to Edward and shook it. Edward's grip was crushing, as imposing as his overbearing persona. He smiled devilishly, his giant frame towering over Alex. Edward was a suppressive , the kind of person who got what he wanted by sheer will alone, and Alex had always hated him for it.

"Ed," Alex replied dryly, he knew Edward hated the nickname. He tried to pull his hand away, but Edward tightened his grip.

"Chloe and I have been wondering how you're doing since you left," Edward replied smoothly. Alex's clenched his teeth, doing his best to hide his contempt at hearing Chloe's name come out of Edward's mouth.

"Well, it's been busy. A lot of clients are interested in my product, so I've been buried in meetings. Between that and the new home… well, it's hard to find free time at the moment," Alex said.

"Oh, I'm sure! Someone as talented as you is bound to have more work than they can handle. I heard you were thinking about moving, didn't realize it was official! Did you decide to take that place near the Petrie forest preserve?" Edward asked as he opened the door to his corner office, gesturing for Alex to enter.

"Yeah, that's the place," Alex said as he walked past Edward. The office was much of what Alex had expected a Corporate Lord's space would look like, an overly large room with full bay windows overlooking the bustling downtown area below, complete with its own private bathroom, fridge, and lounge area.

Edward spotted Alex's eyes darting around the room as he walked past him, "Nice office, huh?"

"Yeah, it's definitely nice," Alex, taking a seat in one of the chairs opposite Edward's desk, "I take it Lords have it pretty good here?"

"Oh, better than good. I still can't believe it honestly. With the SharpEdge family having the first choice for promotions and positions, I really thought I'd never get a shot at becoming a Lord myself. But thankfully I was able to get the proper accreditation, and my father's sub-merger gifted me as part of the dowery. So, here I am," Edward said as he raised his hands and smiled.

"Didn't think you'd be one to hire freelance. Nobles don't typically go for that kind of thing," Alex said softly. He thought the comment would create some sense of equality as he sat in Edward's den of power, but Edward simply laughed at the comment.

"Oh… you might be confused. I didn't hire you. That wasn't my decision. I simply offered to greet you. After all, it's been so long since we caught up."

Alex nodded slowly as his body tensed. Edward's lack of respect was infuriating. Alex wanted to speak up, to finally confront Edward over how he had treated him... how he had betrayed him, but instead, he cleared his throat, adjusted his color, and smiled politely. He had to remember that Edward was a Noble now. He carried real power, and that power was foolish to challenge directly.

"Fair enough, do you know why I've been hired?" Alex asked. He expected a quick and dismissive reply, but he did not receive one. Instead, Edward's smile dimmed for a moment, a look of genuine confusion passing over his face.

"Did no one brief you?" Alex asked, Edward sniffed and leaned back in his chair.

"Honestly, it's been busy. I haven't had a chance to look into the details. I figure it has something to do with the data scrubbing work you were doing before?"

"I did AI work before," Alex said shortly.

"Right, of course. Computer stuff. I figured maybe you're looking to make ends meet with your old work family? After all, I know how hard Freelancing can be," Edward said. His voice remained even and casual, but his furrowed brow told Alex that Edward genuinely didn't know why he'd been brought back to SharpEdge. Edward had been left out of the loop, and Alex couldn't help but find some satisfaction in that.

"AI integration. Amber, to be specific." Alex replied. Edward leaned forward, resting his elbows on his desk as he looked at Alex with skepticism.

"Amber isn't on the market, only a handful of people have access to that kind of technology…"

"I am that handful of people," Alex shot back. Edward's look of skepticism turned into a glare.

"You have access to the Amber AI model? Did you buy the rights?"

"I made Amber, Ed," Alex replied shortly. Caution was key now, Alex could gloat, but only in a politely curt way. A Corporate Lord could destroy any commoner they wanted. They could pour millions into lawsuits and marketing allegations to annihilate one's character and future job prospects, and Alex had no Nobles or Lords to defend him if it happened.

"I see, so… freelancing really has been successful for you then."

"Very," Alex said, but before he had a chance to gloat, there was a wrap on the door. Edward's smile returned at once.

"Well, isn't that perfect timing, I'm sure we'd both love to hear more about your success. Come in!" Edward said. Alex's stomach dropped, he didn't need to turn to know who had entered the room.

"So, they really did hire you," Chloe said.

Alex turned slowly and looked at her. She was a beautiful, dark haired vixen in her mid-twenties. Chloe's athletic build popped in her skin-tight dress, Alex couldn't help but watch her thick hips sway as she entered the room.

"Chloe hey," Alex said softly. His voice shook a little bit, but Chloe didn't seem to mind. She smiled at him as she sat in the chair next to Alex, her ample breasts bouncing as she moved her tail to her side and crossed her legs.

"I couldn't believe you got signed on for a job! It's great to see you!" Chloe's golden eyes and gentle voice enraptured Alex, but before he had a chance to speak, Edward stepped into view. He grabbed Chloe's arm and helped her to stand up. He smirked at Alex, his arm wrapping around her waist as his hand slid down the side of Chloe's thigh. She looked at him awkwardly, clearly uncomfortable, but remained silent. She was playing the part of his work spouse, an unspoken title in most modern workplaces. Alex felt his heart being crushed as it became clear that Chloe's job responsibilities had changed a great deal.

"We're really so glad you could make it Alex," Edward said, " Us coming together like this, it makes me feel like we should have another dinner party soon. After all, the one a few months back was pretty fun, right?"

Alex felt like he was melting in his chair, the room seemed to be dissolving around him as he felt his heart begin to race. He looked at Chloe, who looked to the ground in shame. Edward's fingers pulled up Chloe's dress, before sinking into her thick ass. His eyes were a mixture of dominance and lust as he waited to see how Alex might react.

But Alex did nothing. He simply sunk into his chair as Edward slowly nudged Chloe closer to him. Edward's hands found their way to Chloe's breasts. He pulled Chloe upwards as he forcefully squeezed them. Chloe arched her back and moaned. When Edward saw Alex remained frozen in his chair, he smiled and let Chloe go.

"Wait here a minute," Edward said as he walked over to a switch on his wall and pressed it. Instantly, the hallway windows frosted over, "Don't think we need an audience, at least not today." Edward walked back behind Chloe, his hands grabbing onto her hips forcefully.

"Edward..." Chloe moaned. She gasped as Edward grabbed her breasts and began squeezing them again. Alex was frozen in place, his eyes transfixed on Chloe as she let out a moan of ecstasy while Edward played with her nipples through her dress. Chloe looked at Alex as she placed her hand over Edward's as it slowly slipped between her legs.

"I always knew you two would like this kind of thing. I don't know why you deny it... especially you Alex," Edward said. He pushed Chloe forward with some , causing her to fall forward and rest her hands on Alex's legs. Alex could feel Chloe's warm breath on his face while Edward continued to manhandle her body. He watched Edward slowly lift Chloe's dress and slap her ass before grabbing Chloe by the base of her tail. Like a trained pet, Chloe eagerly pushed into him and began grinding against his cock. Edward relaxed for a moment, letting out a sigh of pleasure as he watched Chloe work. As Chloe jiggled her ass on Edward, he looked at Alex and smiled.

"I'll stop if you want me to stop Alex, just say the word," Edward said. Alex remained silent, his eyes returning to Chloe. She swayed like a goddess, Alex felt his rock-hard cock throb as Chloe's cleavage began to fall out of her dress. Edward waited a moment longer, but when no reply came he shrugged.

"Honestly, the thing I love most about vixens is how fucking good they are at taking orders," Edward said. He grabbed onto Chloe's hips as she continued to wiggle her ass. Alex clenched his fists as his eyes darted between what Edward was doing, and Chloe's beautiful yellow eyes.

"It's kind of insane how lucky you got with this one Alex. Honestly, I've never had such a good fuck in my entire life. Yeah, I've heard rumors that a vixen's libido could be off the charts. I've heard stories of vixens making amazing sex slaves, but Chloe..." Edward slapped Chloe's ass, causing her to moan, "She's really something else. You should have never let me fuck her, you should have never let her feel what a real cock can be like," Edward's thumb found its way to Chloe's asshole. She quivered as he slowly pushed it into her while his other hand began to undo his pants.

Chloe never broke eye contact with Alex, her hands gripped his thighs as she panted like an animal. Her claw-like nails dug into his skin as they slid toward his groin.

"Chloe," Edward said.

"Y-yes?" Chloe replied, still staring at Alex.

"Tell Alex you'd like me to fuck you in front of him please," Edward commanded.

"Edward I..."

"Tell him," Edward said again.

"Alex," Chloe leaned forward as she spoke, only inches away from Alex's face, "I-I'd like Edward to fuck me in front of you, is that alright?" Chloe asked.

Alex was silent, he had lost his voice. It had all happened so fast, things were unfolding just like they had at their dinner party, and just like before, Alex both loved and hated what was happening.

"Alex..." Chloe said. She leaned closer, their mouths nearly touching "I want your permission, I won't do it without your permission."

"You see what the fuck I'm talking about Alex? Jesus, this vixen is one in a million! Humans can play the role, sure, but a dog like Chloe," Edward slapped her ass again, causing it to jiggle. Chloe jumped forward and placed her hands on Alex's chest.

"Chloe was bred for this sort of thing," Edward said. He finished undoing his pants and pulled them down, his massive cock slapped dully between Chloe's ass cheeks. Alex couldn't believe he was experiencing this for a second time, he couldn't believe he was letting this happen all over again. It was like some kind of nightmarish wet dream. But despite his mind screaming for him to leave, Alex remained quiet as Edward began rubbing his throbbing member against Chloe's ass.

"Just like in the hot tub, huh Alex?" Edward smiled wickedly, "Fuck man... she is so fucking soft. I'll be honest, the ears and tail took some getting used to. But now? It helps remind me that she’s my dirty little pet..."

Edward began to thrust against Chloe's ass cheeks steadily. No one spoke for a few minutes, all that could be heard were Chloe's moans and Edward grunting as his thrusts became more aggressive. Chloe continued to look deeply into Alex's eyes, her hands rubbing his chest as Edward began to pull her underwear to the side.

"She's so fucking wet right now. Nothing gets her going like this. We've tried everything since you two took a break, you know. I've fucked her in every way I can imagine, but it's just not the same without you knowing my cock is stretching her out. Seems like Chloe feels the same way," Edward said before looking over at Alex, "I'm going to fuck her man, I'm going to fuck this vixen’s brains out unless you say something."

Alex's heart was racing, he felt frozen in his own body. Chloe's hand rubbed against his cheek.

"It's OK, baby," She said assuringly, "It's what we wanted, right? Just let him fuck me... let's put the past behind us... watch him fuck me."

Alex didn't say a word. Edward smiled at the silence.

"Your wish is my command," Edward said, aligning his massive cock with Chloe's dripping pussy.

Just as he began to slowly push himself into Chloe, there was a firm knock on the door. Alex expected Edward to try and hide what was happening, but to his surprise, Edward simply smiled.

"Come in!" He said, his bare cock still aligned with Chloe's pussy.

Alex was frozen in a stupor as a nervous-looking man entered the room, Alex didn't recognize who he was, he was barely able to keep the room from spinning into darkness. The man froze in place, his eyes darting between Edward's massive cock, and Chloe's exposed body.

"I-I'm so sorry to interrupt I can come back later if that's..."

"You're fine," Edward assured, "Just a work wife doing her duty. What's going on?"

The man cleared his throat, clearly in as much shock as Alex, "Well I... Alex is actually needed down in the servers? I've... I've got my team prepped and ready and I don't want to keep them too long since we have some other things on our punch list today," The man said.

"Of course, don't want to keep the team waiting," Edward said. The three looked at each other for a moment. While Alex and Chloe appeared uncomfortable, Edward couldn't help but smile as he squeezed Chloe's ass tightly.

"Could you just give us a moment to wrap up?" Edward asked. The man nodded.

"Oh, Uh... of course! We'll be waiting when you're ready," The man said, before leaving the room promptly. He closed the door as he left, leaving the three in silence. Before Edward could continue, Chloe promptly broke away from him.

"Well, I think that's enough for today," Chloe said as she began to adjust herself.

"You sure about that?" Edward asked, "Seemed like we were just getting."

"Sorry Edward, but I have other work-wife duties I need to attend to," Chloe shot back quickly.

"Hey listen, I didn't mean anything by it," Edward replied, his tone suprisingly apologetic.

"We all need a minute to calm down. You especially. I'm going to take Alex to his next meeting, and you're going to start getting the developers budget in order. It's three weeks overdue already," Chloe said. She finshed adjusting herself and walked to Alex's side.

"Sure babe," Edward replied as he slowly packed his giant cock back into his pants, "show Alex his new work area, get that freelancer into the trenches."

He walking over to Chloe and kissed her deeply. Chloe resisted for a moment, then began to kiss back while eying Alex. The scene disgusted Alex, but not as much as it excited him. He hated that all three of them knew that. Chloe pushed Edward off and took a deep breath. Then looked at Alex with rosy cheeks.

"They'll be waiting." She said, opening the door to Edward's office for Alex, who promptly began to exit the room.

"It was nice catching up Alex, we'll all have to continue our conversation another time," Edward said. Alex stopped as a whirlwind of anger and jealousy erupted inside him. He couldn't let Edward have the last laugh, he couldn't leave that room knowing Edward would likely fuck Chloe later. He had to regain some level of self-respect.

"You do know Edward, Amber is an ambitious product. May even make excess Lords unnecessary… strange they didn't warn you about it. Congrats on the promotion by the way." Alex exited the office before Edward could respond. He knew it was a foolish thing to say, but he felt good saying it.

He and Chloe walked beside one another, remaining silent until they reached the elevators. Chloe pushed the button for the basement floor, and Alex felt his body tense once she finally spoke.

"I heard about the new house. Is it really by the forest preserve?"

"Yes," Alex replied shortly. Chloe nodded and cleared her throat, Alex could see her glancing at him from the corner of his eye.

"T-that's great. We had always... you had always talked about moving there. Do you like it?"

"It's nice, had it remodeled before I moved in. A little bigger than I expected, to be honest," Alex answered. He didn't look at her. He couldn't. Chloe was the vixen of his dreams. She was smart, talented, and caring. Before all this, before SharpEdge, he was certain they would be together forever. But now, it seemed like everything was tarnished by that night... by Edward.

"Living there alone?" Chloe asked softly. The door to the elevator dinged, Alex walked out.

"Concerned about me having more dinner parties without you?" Alex said harshly. It was a low blow. Alex knew that. He immediately regretted saying it.

"Alex…" Chloe said weakly.

"Let's just get to the meeting, alright? No need to get personal." Alex felt Chloe's hand stop him. He stiffened and looked at her.

"When I heard you were coming, I really hoped we would get a chance to talk… about… what happened."

"I don't think there's much to talk about. We were both there. We both know what happened, and it nearly happened again," Alex said. He looked around to see if anyone was in earshot. Fortunately, it was only him and Chloe beneath flickering fluorescent lights.

"But, if you'd let me explain my side of it…" Chloe stepped forward, and Alex caught a whiff of her perfume, a flood of memories coming with it. Moments of laughter, of quiet days in small apartments, of celebrating finding meat on sale after weeks of only eating noodles. It was too much for him. Alex pulled his arm free from her grasp and continued to walk down the hallway.

"We're running late. I'm sure the team is eager to get started," Alex spoke coldly, never bothering to look back and see if Chloe was following.
