Paroxysm can be defined as a sudden attack or violent expression of a particular emotion or activity. 'In a paroxysm of desire' - that is exactly what those four days in Comdex in the fall of '87 meant to Joe MacMillan, the CEO of MacMillan Utility. When Joe hired a plus-one to accompany him for Comdex, he never anticipated this ordinary woman, this escort would haunt him for years to come. This is the tale of their encounter, their whirlwind experience of being at one of the biggest shows Comdex had ever seen, and the undeniable attraction growing between the client and the escort.

This won't be a very long story, there are 10 chapters plus a prologue. Hope you'll enjoy it. :)
