Excerpt:
Jordan sat
at the conference table, dispassionately watching a certain Mr. Havers fall
apart. He, Allen, and their father had just finished taking over a very small
family-owned chain of boutiques they’d been watching for a while now. The owner
hadn’t wanted to sell -- the business had been in his family for several
generations. It hadn’t mattered in the end. Jordan and Allen wanted the chain,
so they used their wealth and power to take it. He and Allen planned to run it
themselves, and run it the way they wanted. Which hadn’t gone over well with
the previous owner. The brothers needed a hobby to occupy their time, and this
was it. Neither man cared that there were people’s livelihoods tied to that
business.
“You’re
going to what? But you don’t understand,” Mr. Havers nearly yelled, drawing
Allen’s attention from a stack of papers that sat before him. “These people
have families to support. If you fire them, in this economy, it’s unlikely
they’ll find jobs anytime soon. Please, they’re good, hardworking, and loyal
workers. The best you could ask for.”
Allen looked
to Jordan and rolled his eyes. “Not our problem.”
“We don’t
want them. They’re loyal to you, not us.” Jordan sipped his coffee, completely
unconcerned that over five hundred people would be out of a job in two weeks.
“We’re restructuring from the ground up. End of story. Out with the old and in
with the new, if you will.”
Mr. Havers
pounded his fist on the table. “These are people with bills to pay, children to
take care of, college fees to deal with, mortgages… please don’t do this. It’s
bad enough you forced me to sell, but don’t punish them. Most of my workers are
close to the core group of our customers.”
Allen
hooted. “After we’re done, we’ll be targeting a better class of customers.
That’s another reason your employees aren’t needed.”
Mr. Havers
gaped at the insult.
Jordan
stood. “It’s a done deal, Mr. Havers. You no longer have a say, and frankly, I
couldn’t care less what happens to your employees. Or, for that matter, you. We
made you a damn good offer for your chain in the beginning. It’s not my fault
you didn’t take it, and you ended up with less and your people lost their jobs.
With their skill sets, maybe they can flip hamburgers at some fast-food place.
They’ll find something, I’m sure. Regardless, as Allen said, it’s not our
problem. It’s nothing personal, just business. You understand, surely? And this
meeting is now over.”
Allen gathered
all the papers together and looked at his watch. “We’ve spent enough time on
this. Good day, Mr. Havers.”
Mr. Havers
rose so swiftly that his chair flew back, hitting the wall. “You bastards. You
don’t give a shit about anyone but your own kind. It’s the average working man
that keeps this country --”
“Oh Lord,
here we go singing the praises of the working man.” Allen sneered as he stood
up. “I’m calling Security.”
“Good idea,”
Jordan said. “We have somewhere else we need to be.”
Mr. Havers
picked up his coffee and threw the lukewarm beverage at Jordan. He stormed to
the door, yanking it open so hard it left a dent in the wall. “Don’t bother,
I’m leaving. You both are nothing more than animals. If there’s any justice in
this world, you’ll meet someone who will ruin the both of you the way you’ve
ruined so many others.” The door slammed shut behind him.
“Yeah,
right.” Allen looked at Jordan. “He got you good, didn’t he?”
“He’s
nobody, less important than the dirt under my feet.” Jordan shrugged, annoyed.
He used a napkin to blot his shirt. “Damn shirt probably costs more than
everything he wore to this meeting.”
“I’d have to
say he especially didn’t like you.”
“Now the
feeling is mutual.” Jordan rolled his eyes as he tossed the napkin. “Like we
care what happens to those employees. Come on, let’s get out of here. I’m going
to have to change before we party.”
* * *
Jordan
leaned on the railing, looking down at the wiggling mass below him. Lights
flashed and music thumped as bodies writhed on the dance floor of Night Moves,
a trendy upscale bar. The floor was crowded. It was Friday night, after all,
and time to celebrate. “Do you see him, Allen?”
“No, I lost…
wait. There he is. Yeah, I got him now. Damn, can we pick ‘em or what? Fuck,
Jordan, I can’t wait to see him on his knees with my cock buried in his ass
while he sucks you.”
Jordan
scanned the crowd down on the dance floor until he found their prey. There he
was. Poor Allen. He might want the guy, but he was just going to have to wait.
Jordan planned on having that redhead’s ass first. He was, after all, the older
brother.
Jordan’s
smile faded. He’d hoped this one would be different. Over the last several
months the hunt he and Allen had taken part in had become… boring.
He was bored.
God, how ludicrous was that? He got all the ass he wanted, and still he was
bored.
Maybe he was
getting jaded, but the thrill was fading. The guys he and Allen picked up were
all the same. They fell into their beds with hardly a whimper, got fucked, then
went home. He wanted… Jordan exhaled silently. He didn’t know what he wanted.
But he damn sure knew this lifestyle was getting old. It would be… nice… if he
could find someone who fit his needs; someone who could stand on his own as
easily as he did, but would give up control when he demanded. That was his idea
of the perfect ideal man… right?
“So?” Allen
nudged him, interrupting his thoughts.
The roving
lights of the club wandered over their choice, his red hair shining for just
that moment, and Jordan’s cock hardened. Both he and his brother had a thing
for redheads. A smirk tilted his lips as he watched their prey’s body grind on
the dance floor. He sincerely hoped their guy had freckles. He loved tracing
those sexy little brown dots with his tongue while their chosen piece of ass
cried out in pleasure.
Their
friends, Hugh and Kain, didn’t get their fascination with gingers. They didn’t
understand how well that pale skin showed marks… like those from his hand
slapping down on an upturned ass.
“So… what?”
Jordan so enjoyed winding his brother up.
He rested
his elbows on the railing. For VIP’s, the club had a decadent, kinky side. The
second level was members only, and membership was awarded on the basis of
money, power, and prestige. The second level was where other jaded predators
like he and his friends roamed. The bottom level -- the dance floor -- was
where the fresh meat was displayed. After all, every predator needed prey.
“Don’t start
that shit with me, Jordan. I’m not in the mood for games tonight,” Allen
hissed. “We’ve scored once today, and I’m ready to celebrate.”
“Really? But
isn’t that what this is? A game?”
“Oh damn,
you’re in a mood, aren’t you?”
Jordan
tracked the pretty little redhead’s movements. The guy didn’t look to be very
tall, thank God, and had wavy, shoulder length deep red hair. Both he and Allen
liked their bottoms to be slightly smaller than they were, and slender. This
guy appeared to be perfect. It was hard to tell with his clothes on, but their
prey moved with a grace that called to him, and he was sure it called to Allen,
too. The guy had a swimmer’s build -- long and sleek. He had to be in pretty
good shape; he’d been dancing nonstop for some time.
Jordan stood
a few inches over six feet, and Allen was an inch under him. They were both
muscular but without the bulk that signified serious body builders. They both
had excellent tone and were ripped in all the right places. Neither of them had
much hair on their bodies, and kept what little they had on a tight rein.
Control was the name of their game.
“Are we just
going to stare at him all night, or what?” Allen complained as he flipped his
dark, sable brown hair out of his face.
Jordan took
his eyes off the prey for a moment and looked at his brother. Annoyed chocolate
brown eyes stared back at him. Jordan mentally sighed. His younger brother
really was handsome. The lights of the club brought out the caramel highlights
in his brother’s hair, made them shine. He’d made fun of the idea at first, but
after seeing the results, he’d had his hair done. Of course, Allen had teased
him for two weeks straight over that one.
“You really
need to learn some patience -- enjoy the hunt, let the anticipation build.” The
song ended and a new one started, this one with the dark overtones that Jordan
liked.
They weren’t
twins, but they did look a lot alike. Same build, same hair color, pretty much
the same facial features. It was almost like looking in the mirror. Well,
except for the fact Allen had dimples, and Jordan had a dent in his chin. And
they both liked redheaded men, liked to dominate them. They shared the men they
picked up, often placing bets beforehand on who would get the guy’s ass first.
And oh yeah,
they were richer than God, too. If they wanted something, or someone, they
either bought it, or just took what they wanted. They didn’t fear the stupid
laws that governed the land. Those were for the common people, not for people
like them. Not for the privileged.
“Right.”
Allen rolled his eyes. “And while you’re up here practicing your stupid
patience, someone else is going to make off with our target.”
Even their
friends, Hugh and Kain, got in on these bets. They had one going on right now,
as a matter of fact. Hugh had bet five thousand dollars Allen would get the
redhead’s ass first. Jordan couldn’t resist taunting Hugh about his bad pick.
If they struck out, then he and Allen owed Hugh and Kain five thousand dollars
apiece. Pocket change, really, but it made things more interesting.
Jordan
chuckled softly. “Settle down. Our guy will be there when we get ready.”
From the
corner of his eye Jordan saw Allen cross his arms over his chest, and shook his
head. Allen was only eighteen months younger, but good God, he was impatient.
That was why he was the COO of the world famous high-end department stores
their father owned and Allen was the CFO. They both had business degrees from
Harvard.
The next
song started and Allen leaned closer. “I’m ready, Jordan. Come on, man.”
He glanced
over at Allen, who vibrated with the need to start their hunt. It wasn’t any
wonder he won most of the bets he and Allen placed -- Allen couldn’t contain
himself once he wanted something. Of the two of them, Allen was the weaker.
Jordan frowned. Maybe weaker wasn’t the right word, but Allen sure didn’t have
his iron control.
