PRELUDE
Malibu, California
BEHIND THE LIMOUSINE’Stinted windows sit the wealthy and the famous living perfect public lives. But when the doors to the mansions close, the truth comes out.
Odd sex practices surface, power and money rule.
Three beautiful women.
Three marriages.
Exotic, erotic, Malibu, California, home of tanned bodies and movie stars.
Malibu is a small community nestled at the base of the Santa Monica mountains. It’s famous for its surfing and sunshine, mudslides and fires, but mostly, it’s famous for the famous who live there. Celebrities abound. Politicians, rock stars, music producers, actors, actresses, directors, producers and sports heroes. Those not so famous but excessively rich, build multimillion dollar estates and hobnob with their celebrity neighbors.
It’s a small, elite community. Pepperdine University, though a major factor in the local economy, is a world unto itself, and the two communities live peaceably, side by side.
Multi-million dollar homes are set on foundations elevated from the sand, while others sit on tall concrete pillars with expansive terraces and steps that lead down to the beach.
Malibu is a fascinating slice of life in Southern California, where sun and surf, dolphins, horses and dogs, are the order of the day. The restaurants are intimate and pricey, the theater as small as an in-home projection room, and the inhabitants fight to keep it that way.
Summer is the dreaded season, except for local merchants, who do a roaring trade from late June through mid-October. The residents who do not depend on the summer for their income, suffer through the weekends as their community falls under siege.
Traffic is a nightmare. Pacific Coast Highway turns into a virtual parking lot. The restaurants are crowded, the parking lots are full, and even the grocery store becomes jammed with visitors.
But the summer is also vacation time for much of the entertainment industry, and many residents leave town. By the time late September rolls around, things return to normal and everyone breathes a sigh of relief. Magnificent sunsets of purple, orange and magenta highlight the sky, and peace reigns over the populace. Malibu is their private slice of luxury life...but there’s more to the serene scene than meets the eye.
TONY VERDI
THE CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE! Tony loved it. If your bread and butter depended on the weather there was nowhere else to live.
Tony—whose full name was Antonio Leonardo Verdici—ignored his raging erection and bolted out of bed. He’d trained his mind and body during his years on the pro tennis circuit and his fitness and health regimen was second nature. Pulling on shorts and polo shirt, he trotted down the stairs and dropped wheat germ, bananas, two raw eggs, honey and a smattering of strawberries into the blender. As he fired it up, he thought about his first lesson of the day, Tia Goldman. She was an international supermodel and he always enjoyed his time with her. Not only was she a knockout, she was an outrageous flirt. Stopping the blender and pouring the creamy mixture into a large glass, he carried it out to the patio and settled into a deck chair.
The waves broke gently on the shore.
A couple jogged by while their golden retriever chased the seagulls.
