Innovative Desires by Peter Styles,‎ J.P. Oliver

Alard
This handsome, charming young man is presenting me with my own technology. It may be outdated, yes, but it’s still what my R&D department is getting ready to release. How does he know? I have to get closer to him, learn his secrets and find some way to destroy him before he does the same to me. Yet when I look into his eyes, I get a feeling that I haven’t had in so many years. Can I really ruin him for what might be coincidence?

Simon
Everyone knows Alard Guth, head of Innocorp. He’s one of the most creative, fascinating minds in the technology world, even if he is a corporate monster. Unlike all those other faceless creeps, I can’t bring myself to dislike him. Sure, he’s in it for the money but, well, everyone has to make a living, right?
No, no. I have to remember that it’s their humanity that lets them get their hooks in you. But, when I see the look on his face when he gazes at me… well, would it really be so bad to let him reel me in?
