“Not at all, and there’s my first exclusive. The relaxed side of the billionaire.”
“I wouldn’t go as far as to say I was relaxed.” I smiled. “What’s your opinion on how it’s going out there? Do you think it seems well received?”
“A vulnerability too.” Ember crossed a well defined leg over the other. The woman obviously worked out. She was wearing a gold colored tight dress which accentuated her chocolate colored skin and wore her hair short. She kinda reminded me of that actress Halle something or other. “My readers are gonna eat you up, Aidan. You single too?”
“At the moment, yes, I am. Single and okay with it. Currently in a relationship with my businesses.”
Ember nodded, “Yeah, I get that, but some nights can get lonely after you switch off the laptop, right?”
“You switch it off? I find I wake in the morning with it at the side of me.” I chuckled. “Okay, so what do you want to ask me?”
“Well, my main focus for the interview is the fact that Club S as this place was previously known, had no noticeable business plate on the door downstairs and was a secret club, only known about by a select number of individuals. However, for Abandon, your concept is to make sex clubs more mainstream, right? What was behind that decision?”
“Simple. We are living in modern times. Sexuality has never been discussed as openly before. Why should you have to feel like it’s some dirty secret if you seek your kicks in a club? Obviously the same confidentiality rules apply for our members but there is now a business plate on the door. There are so many other businesses in the building including a health spa and a gym that it won’t be easy to work out who is visiting the club and who is visiting the other businesses, but I’m hoping members embrace their sexuality and don’t care if they are seen coming to the club, anyway.”
“What about those who do want to keep it secret?”
“I have ways of getting them into the club without them having to come through the front door. Ways no one else would be able to see them.”
“Ah, a secret entrance?”
“Maybe.” I winked.
“So, obviously I researched your background. You were already wealthy from your family business; what made you decide to form new businesses in the sex industry as besides the club, you also took over GoDown Productions.”
&n
bsp; “Again, I want to demystify the whole process. The movies GoDown makes are again quite mainstream. There may be a hint of a taboo, like perhaps screwing the stepsister, but there’s nothing that makes me uncomfortable. I’m quite open with how our team are all one big happy family and that’s why our actors and actresses stay loyal to GoDown. Good pay and benefits, and no sleaze. We’re making movies, it’s just these have sex in them.”
She smiled, and I noted a more calculating look sweep across her features. “So, my research brought up that you used to take part in some sexual acts in this club when it was owned by Henry Carter. Will you continue to do so?”
“No. Now I’m the owner, this club is strictly off limits to me. Also all the staff are off limits to the members. They are here in their capacities as bartenders, security, etc.”
“So how will you fulfill your sexual needs now if you liked menages etc?” Ember’s eyes were flashing with interest, this was the real exclusive she was aiming for.
“I’ve been there, seen it, done it, Ember, to be honest.” I realized then that there was some truth to that statement. “When I visited here as a member, I got to play. I was lucky that women begged me to satisfy them and I made the most of the opportunities available to me. But now, I’m in a different place. I guess you could say I’m evolving.”
“So you’re now what? Looking for a longer term prospect.”
I sat back and steepled my fingers and placed my chin on them. “Hmm, I honestly don’t know. I’ve been so focused on the businesses that I haven’t had time to consider my future in any other way. I guess I’m just going to relax a little now and see what happens.”
“Okay, I’m totally writing that you’re considering a longer term relationship in my article.” She laughed.
“Anything else before I have to return to the fray?” I asked her.
“Yeah, what are you doing next week? Do you fancy going for dinner sometime?” She asked.
I took her number. She was an attractive woman. Understood how business could take over our lives and she also, if I considered my wager goals, knew what I did. Whether she was the kind to stay at home while the guy went to work, I doubted. She was an amazing businesswoman. I realized how stupid I’d sounded when I’d made my bet. Why had I said I needed a woman who’d sit at home? Why couldn’t they work too? Sometimes I was a complete dick. I was sure a shrink would link it back to my relationship with my own mother. She’d always been home and had always been there for me. We’d supported each other as a family through the death of my brother, but where my dad had worked, my mom had always been around if I needed her. I guess I wanted that for my own children but the fact was these were modern times and some women liked to be the boss in the boardroom as well as the bedroom. I figured I may as well go out to dinner with Ember one evening and see where it went.
With the interview over, I returned to the bar. It was getting late now. Members had moved to the rooms and the bar area was quietening down. We would close now at four am. Drinks stopped being served at three am and then it was a wind down. The music switched to slow songs to let members know that it was the last hour, and then fifteen minutes before closing it would switch off altogether. At five minutes to four security would begin having a kind word with those who still didn’t look ready to leave. The idea was that the club finally closed its doors no later than four-thirty am, at which point the cleaning service would come in along with a team of ‘refresh’ staff who restocked the bar etc ready for the following evening.
H and Eli wandered over to me. H patted my back. “It’s been a triumph, bro. Place has been buzzing and everyone I’ve talked to thinks you have made a success of the relaunch. Club S is no more. Long live Abandon.” He clinked his glass with mine and I noted he was a little wasted. “Amelia know you were having a party night?” I asked him.
“All is good.” He said. “Though I was warned that if I moved from the bar area, I wasn’t ever getting back in my own home.” A dreamy look came over his face. “I told her I didn’t need anyone else. She’s fucking amazing, and,” he giggled, “amazing at fucking.”
“Okay, dude. Let’s get you in a taxi and home. I’ll escort you so she knows you’ve been a good boy.”
“Hey, I might get rewarded for being a good boy,” he winked.
