Fatal Attraction: A Playboy Billionaire Romance: Fire & Ice Romance Series, #4

By Kylie Parker

This is my life, and it's a good one. It's a simple life. Well, simple for a business man, I suppose. 

My name is James Mont, and I consider myself to be an exceptional human being. I don't necessarily mean that I am a crazy nice guy or anything like that; I just mean I'm exceptional. You can call it vanity if you want, but I know it's true. Although I believe there is a fine line between vanity and just having greatness. 

I am a multi-billionaire who does not do much to maintain that status. My business was inherited, and in the past year alone I have tripled our annual income. I live extravagantly, and sometimes I live lazily because I can. I own a dietary supplement line, and they sell like hot cakes; we cater to both men and women athletes. 

Second reason, I am fit. As the CEO of a large corporation that promotes healthy living, I have to stay fit. Honestly, I do more working out in gyms than I do work in the office, but it's okay because I love working out. I am fine looking, and I know it. Rich, fit, confident –who wouldn't want to be me? And throw all those things together and you get the third reason I am one to be envied: women love me. 

Even this bitch: Éclair Beauchene, and yes, that's French.

This is my life, and it’s a good one. It’s a simple life. Well, simple for a business man, I suppose. My name is James Mont, and I consider myself to be an exceptional human being. I don’t necessarily mean that I am a crazy nice guy or anything like that; I just mean I’m exceptional. You can call it vanity if you want, but I know it’s true. Although I believe there is a fine line between vanity and just having greatness.

You can call it narcissism if you really want to, but for me, I just know I’m that man women want and that man that other men want to be. This is true for a number of reasons. One, I am a multi-billionaire who really does not do much to maintain that status. My business was inherited, and in the past year alone I have tripled our annual income. I live extravagantly, and sometimes I live lazily because I can. I own a dietary supplement line, and they sell like hot cakes; we cater to both men and women athletes. Second reason, I am fit. As the CEO of a large corporation that promotes healthy living, I have to stay fit. Honestly, I do more work out in gyms than I do working in the office, but it's okay because I love working out. I am fine looking, and I know it. Rich, fit, confident –who wouldn’t want to be me? And throw all those things together and you get the third reason why I am one to be envied: women love me. Even this bitch: Éclair Beauchene, and yes, that’s French.

Éclair is my business rival, owning the second largest dietary supplement line in the nation right behind me. While she’s definitely got me beat on a world-wide scale, I have the numbers within the states where my fellow American’s eat up stupid stuff like steroids and vitamins. My business, I like to remind her, has much greater successes. Despite being my rival, Éclair is my favorite little Fuck Buddy, and she is more than happy to be so despite our differences in the business world. Looking back, I’m not really sure how that happened. There was always a sexual tension between us whenever we would try to strike a deal: we were always buying up each other’s old factories or trying to trade and buy ingredients to various products, and we had always wound up in heated discussions that often involved shouting matches. One evening in her office we really had gotten into it, and then all of a sudden we weren’t yelling anymore and had started making out.

There is no denying that Éclair and I have an unusual relationship. It’s just for the sex, and we are both pleased to keep it that way. We’re both athletes and CEO’s –an unusual combination, but it works for both of us. Our relationship, apart from the physical aspect, is one of intellect –quite different from most of the women I run with. Right now we are in my flat in LA, the bedroom, of course, because where else would we be?

It had been Éclair’s idea to put a mirror on my ceiling; she had been joking, of course, but it is turning out to be one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a considerable amount of time. We’re on top of the blankets, and I’m lying on my back as she straddles me. I’m not sure whether to look at her breasts or stare up at the mirror on the ceiling at her backside. I find my eyes jumping back and forth between the two. She is the kind of woman who likes to be in control, but every once in a while she surprises me. Veux-tu esayer l’amour en levrette? she asks in the middle of a pant, and I have no idea what she is saying. She knows I love the French thing.

Oui, I say, and she hurries off of me and proceeds to prop herself up on her hands and knees. Oh! Oui! I say and get on my knees behind her and press myself into her vagina.

Oui! Plus vite! she shouts, and I speed up as I wrap my arms around her front side to pull myself further into her with each thrust. James! she shrieks. I hold her around her waist with one hand and play with her breasts with the other. She drops down further, lifting her backside up higher towards me with her forearms on the bed.

We both enjoy pushing our bodies to the breaking point. It’s the athletes in us that makes this all the more fun. She moves with me, and I swear she is going to break my pelvis from the fierce movements. She stretches out her arms and lifts one of her legs, and in one swift movement, she flips over with me still inside her –creating a tingling sensation I have not felt before. The human body is not meant to move like that, but she manages. I’m on top of her nose, staring down at her. A part of me wonders if she is staring at my bare ass in the mirror above us the way I had been doing with her. She wraps her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist, forcing me down on top of her.

She is so wet we might as well be doing this in the hot tub –which we have done before, but this is just as sexy. I press my mouth against her, stifling both of our groans. She is in a kinkier mood than usual; she wants it bad. It like we’re still fighting even when we’re having sex; the intense aggression makes me think she is pissed off about something and is taking it out on my body. Not that I mind. I like it when Éclair gets feisty. She puts her tongue in my mouth; I swear, it’s like she’s trying to choke me with it. Something is definitely up with her tonight.

Our lips part, and I am able to raise my head up just enough to see her face. Her eyes are shut tight, and she is gritting her teeth. Her long, blonde hair is spread out in all directions. Her adorable button nose that I often make fun of (but secretly find attractive), is scrunched up. I can see her abs flex with each of my movements as she experiences a long-winded orgasm. I lean down and bite her neck –harder than I intended, but I know she loves it when she’s in one of these wild moods. I move up her neck towards her ear, and I whisper with a warm breath that makes her shutter, Come on, Éclair, let me hear you… I know she is holding back a scream; she does not like to give me a big head, but I can see it in her face as her cheeks turn red from holding her breath.

Oh God! her cry is loud and high pitched, and it only turns me even more. Oh God! Oh God! she’s really going now. Her screams grow louder as do her groans. James! Oh, God, James! Her body twitches as though she had just been electrocuted and shock waves are rushing through her veins. She opens her eyes for just a second, and I can see those weird as hell purple eyes of hers. She has something called Alexandra Genesis –it’s some freaky genetic thing that makes her eyes that awesome shade, and it also prevents her from growing any hair downstairs. I’m not complaining; I prefer a clean shaved woman. I love those purple eyes, though. She’s still groaning; she shuts her eyes again and bites her bottom lip.

I explode inside of her which normally gets her pretty pissed off, but she’s so damn horny today I don’t think she minds. To prevent her from giving me hell about it, I help her keep her erotic high by stimulating her with my still hard cock and, once the big guy starts to calm down; I continue rubbing her with my fingers until she seems almost dead from the intense pleasure. She falls asleep which is against the rules –our unusual set of rules we have to keep things from getting too serious. I don’t mind, though. I throw a sheet over us both, and she, in a sleepy daze, lays her head on my chest.

Islowly blink my eyes open. That was one hell of a night. Nights with Éclair are always crazy like that, though, although last night had certainly been exceptional. I roll over, my eyes squinted as I search for her amongst she sheets. She’s not in bed, and I frown. I had thought I would actually wake up next to her for once, but clearly I was wrong. She probably left in the middle of the night. I am still wearing a dissatisfied frown as I sit up slowly. Don’t look so disappointed. I hear Éclair’s voice as she enters my bedroom. She’s wearing my white button up, and I don’t think she’s wearing much else. She is a damn tease sometimes.

She has two cups of coffee, I hope you don’t mind, but I helped myself to your kitchen this morning. She hands me a cup.

Thanks, I say and take a sip. I grimace slightly; it’s that nasty coffee I keep in my apartment for her that I only pretend to enjoy. I place the coffee cup down on my nightstand, and she does the same with hers. She sits down on the side of my bed and props a leg up, and I see that she definitely is not wearing any underwear. I cannot help myself.

I reach towards her to touch her inner thigh, but she puts her leg down and waves a finger in my face. Not now, James.

She really is a tease. Awe, sweetheart, you are playing with me. I say, And you and I both know you’d be more than happy to have at it again.

Éclair laughs at me. You wish.

I reach for her quicker this time, and I manage to grab her shoulders and playfully force her down on her back as I scurry out from under the blankets. I get on top of her, her legs hanging off the side of the bed. My cock is rested on her stomach. You certainly sounded like you were having fun last night, I say and lean down to kiss her neck.

Darling, I have business to attend to. She says and touches my chest with the tips of her fingers. As do you, I am sure.

It can wait, I say and rush to unbutton the top she threw on. No bra either. Fantastic. I cup one of her breasts in my hand and play with her nipple with my tongue.

I want to talk to you about my business offer. She says, and my erection disappears faster than if she had told me to visualize my own grandmother.

Ugh. I grumble and roll off of her, Why do you always do that? I lay on my back, staring up at the ceiling.

She laughs and sits up, my white button up still draped on her shoulders. Your company is only doing well in the states. It’s not worth as much as you think. I am willing to purchase it for-

No. I snap. I told you, I’m not selling. And we’re doing just fine, thanks. Our sales have you beat in the states anyways.

You’re thinking too small. Éclair says and then suddenly throws herself on top of me, How much? You tell me what you would sell it for.

It’s not for sale. I say again, And we’re done here. Get off me.

Éclair huffs and jumps off of me. She stands, I’m not so easily ignored, James. You know this, don’t you?

Believe me, I know. You’ve been barking up that tree ever since we first met. I stand and locate my underwear and pants. I’m not going to walk around completely naked while she talks numbers and stocks. You’re relentless. You’re not buying me out, Éclair.

Of course, I am. Éclair says, One day, you will see the light, but in the meantime, I have made pancakes.

No, you didn’t, I say.

I am more than just a pretty face, Éclair says and trots into the kitchen, and I follow.

She really did make pancakes… from scratch… and they’re blueberry. Damn. I say, I guess you really did enjoy yourself last night if I’m getting pancakes.

Last night was… fun. She says.

I knew it.

Don’t push it, darling. She makes herself a plate, and she dips her finger into some syrup and reaches towards me, placing her finger on my tongue. I suck on her finger, and she slowly pulls her finger out of my mouth. My erection is back. What do you think? she asks. I made the syrup myself.

Seriously? I ask, licking my lips, really enjoying the blueberry taste that is in the syrup as well as the pancakes. I make myself a plate also. Who knew you could cook?

I am French. She says, Of course I can cook!

We eat, and about halfway through our breakfast I am practically begging her to get back to the bedroom. She smiles and touches my bare chest, Finish your breakfast. She stands and comes behind me as I am seated. She leans on my back and reaches her hands around to stroke my chest as well as the outside of my pants. I’ll be right back, she whispers in my ear and departs to the bedroom

Damn that woman! I start to wonder if perhaps she has an outfit or something packed that I did not know about last night. She returns to the kitchen, and I am gravely disappointed to see that she has gotten dressed and ready for work. Awe, come on, Éclair! I snap, not at all appreciating the tease.

What can I say? she laughs, I have to work. So unless you want to talk to me about selling your company, I am not sticking around.

You know, I say, Have you ever considered that the two of us would make a good team if we merged?

Ha! she laughs, I do not do partnerships. She jokingly jabs me in the arm.

Fine. I say, So tell me, are you free tonight?

Feisty, aren’t we? Éclair laughs, No, I have a date this evening.

I roll my eyes, Who’s the lucky guy?

Some fool my sister is trying to set me up with. We will see how it goes. Éclair huffs and hurries out the door.

I shake my head. She is certainly one of a kind. I stuff my face full of blueberry pancakes as I muse about this wonderfully insane woman, Éclair.

Wonderful my ass! Bitch did this on purpose!

After Éclair had left, I started casually getting dressed to get ready for work when I came across my cell phone with twenty-seven missed calls from my older brother. Twenty-seven! I completely forgot that today was the grand opening of our gym and that I am supposed to be there in twenty fucking minutes!

As I am throwing on my clothes, I call my brother back and place the phone on the counter on speaker. You son of a bitch! I hear him scream as soon as he picks up, Fucking moron! Where the fuck are you, you dick? Well, he certainly is pissed.

I’m in the car, I lie, Ten minutes away, I swear.

Fuck you! he shouts, You’re a fucking liar, James!

Easy, Eddie. I say, I swear; I’m on my way.

You better be, or I swear I will rip your fucking ears off! that was a weird threat, but I run with it.

I know, I know –I’m running late. I was with Éclair. I say, and that only makes him angrier. I forgot how much he hated her.

Fuck that bitch! Eddie shouts, The press are getting antsy. Get your ass down here now!

Hold them off for just a few more minutes. I am heading out the door right now- shit, what did I just say?

I thought you were ten minutes away, you asshole! He screams.

No, but that’s what you need to tell everyone. I say, Got to go; I’ll be there soon. I hang up before I get another earful of cusses thrown my way. I take the elevator down and rush to my car before zipping out into the street.

Eddie is probably about ready to kill me. There is not much I can do to make the drive any faster with the LA traffic. I can’t believe this happened. I swear Éclair must have done this on purpose. She knew all about this little PR stunt we’re doing with the new gym to promote our new line of supplements. She has never stayed over before, and she certainly has never made me any food after our… endeavors. She was just screwing with me to make me late.

Éclair and I have an unusual relationship. She is definitely a hit it and quit it type woman. Our relationship is purely sexual –not that we don’t enjoy an intellectual conversation from time to time. Honestly, we are probably made for each other, but we’re both way too stubborn. We use each other for sex for tension relief. Our jobs are pretty hectic –hers more so than mine, so casual sex with no strings attached is just what we need to unwind. We have a lot of fun together, but we’re both too big of assholes to ever make a real relationship work between us. We both have dominant personalities, as is proven by her constant insistence that I sell my company to her. Not going to happen.

I drive by a large billboard that I have seen a thousand times before. It always makes my junk bounce a bit from excitement. It’s a billboard for one of Éclair’s supplements; the model is the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen. I’m sure it’s mostly photoshopped, but I don’t really care. The woman has blonde hair, perky breasts, tan skin, is well toned, and is basically the ideal female specimen. There is not anything in any porn mag I’ve ever looked at that could even compare to this random model on a billboard for an energy supplement. Maybe we should start using models that look like that?

I shake the random distraction away. Ten minutes have already passed. Eddie is going to be fuming by the time I get there. How could I forget about this? I mean, seriously? Eddie and I do not exactly get along. I was the little brother, and our dad had left me pretty much everything – the company included. Eddie had been totally blindsided, and truthfully it had come as a shock to me as well. Turned out, Eddie was not biologically our father’s son. We had no idea. Dad had always treated Eddie well; if anything, I had always thought Eddie was his favorite. He left Eddie his summer home and a small fortune, but that was it apart from a rather cruel letter telling him he was the result of our mother’s infidelity and that he was only somewhat sorry for not telling him sooner. Eddie’s inheritance would be considered a lot to most people, but our old man had been positively loaded. I inherited a multi-billion dollar supplements corporation, two houses that I never use, multiple classic cars, his stupid ass horses, his yacht, a crummy baseball team I did not even know existed, any sort of family heirlooms, and a hell of a lot more. After Dad had died and Eddie had been blindsided by him, he had started heading down a dark road. I hired Eddie as my assistant PR guy as well as a head factory worker, but that was the most of my charity he would take.

Now Eddie takes his job very seriously –a lot more serious than I do, I’ll admit. He is probably fuming right now. I speed along the road as quickly as the traffic allows, hoping that I’m not going to be too terribly late –knowing good and well that that is probably a false hope.

Iam more than just a little late. I’m jumping out of my car as fast as I can, and I see Eddie bolting in my direction. I ought to kick your ass. He snarls and closes my door for me. The two of us begin to speed walk through the parking lot towards the front of the building where a group of impatient people are waiting to get inside. Do you realize how long these people have been waiting? Seriously, James, you’re so irresponsible. I can’t believe you are a fucking hour late! An hour! All because you were boning Éclair again. You know that woman is our competition, right? Or have you forgotten that little fact? Well?

Would you just shut up? Seriously, man. I am sorry I’m late but damn! I shove him, so he’s not walking so close to me.

You’re the face of the company, Eddie reminds me, People are buying you. You can’t act like a selfish asshole when we put your face on everything. People are buying that stupid pretty face of yours.

I laugh, You think I’m pretty?

It’s not funny! Eddie snaps, I’m serious, James. You can’t keep blowing stuff off like this. We’ve sunk a lot of money into this gym. If the company is going to expand it’s Healthy Living line, we have got to make this work. This is just going to be the first of many if it works out, and I don’t know about you, but I rather not have this become a giant money pit. I can’t believe you just-

Okay, pause, I say and stop walking. We wind up standing in the middle of the parking lot staring each other down. I’m sorry. You need to take a breath, though. I’m here. People are still here. The reporters are still here. This is something we can settle easily. Got it? What’s done is done. I’m going to walk up to that little podium, give my speech, and cut the damn ribbon so people can go inside. Then you are going to shut your damn mouth. Got it?

Don’t fucking talk to me like that! Eddie hisses.

I’ll talk to you however I damn well please, I say, feeling angrier than I probably should. I’m mostly angry at Éclair for screwing me over, but I guess I’m just going to take it out on Eddie, I’m your boss. I own your ass, remember? Honestly, you’re lucky you even have a job.

Excuse me? he looks like he wants to punch me, but I know he won’t.

I poke my finger in his chest, I know you’re in debt. That’s why you’re freaking out over this shit. I’m not going to let the company take a fall, Eddie. You’re going to be fine.

Eddie looks furious, How did you know I was in debt?

Your skanky sister. That’s how. I say, and he stiffens. Eddie’s biological father was apparently notorious for getting married women pregnant; he just found out about a few half-siblings about a year after our dad died. They’re all a bunch of losers who are always taking his money. Apparently of all the children, his biological father created, Eddie is the only one who turned out to be even half-descent. By the look on Eddie’s face, I can tell he had no idea I had spoken with any of them at all.

Why are you even talking to them? he snarls. They’re not your family.

No, but you are. I say, And I’m not going to let you sink down any further, man. The company is fine. You just got to stop giving out loans to all of those idiots. You’re too prideful to take any money from me, but you’re more than happy to write a check to bail one of those morons out of jail. You got to cut back on your family charity, or you’re going to wind up losing your shares and everything else.

He grumbles slightly, but the sad look on his face tells me that he is admitting defeat, I don’t know what to do, James.

I pat his shoulder, You’ve looked after me pretty much my whole life. I got your back, Eddie. I know taking financial advice from your little brother is a low blow, but maybe try listening to me for once.

Fine. He says under his breath.

Good. I say, We’ll talk afterward about what we can do, all right?

Fine. He says again, Don’t forget, you’re meeting Tiffany after this.

Right, I say, having completely forgotten he wanted to introduce me to his girlfriend today. He’s been dating this Tiffany chick for a couple of months now, and he seems to really like her as far as I can tell. I’m glad we got the whole debt thing out in the open; I’ve meant to talk to him about it for some time now.

Looks like it’s time to get the show on the road.
