Pleasure Principle (7 page)

Teddy Bear

Suddenly feeling a whole lot more confident that settling down was the right thing to do the old confident, brash, debonair
Teddy recuperated from his momentary jitters and immerged from his holding suite in rare form. The women all sucked a breath of awe as he entered the mansion
’
s grand room looking like a triple scoop of triple fudge chocolate Haagen-Dazs ice cream topped with nuts. All eyes were on him as he swaggered to center
stage
with a broad sexy smile
illumina
ting his handsome face.
He was breathtakingly sexy and over half of them had to remind themselves to breathe.

“Ladies, welcome to
the Pleasure Palace.” His sexy, sultry voice announced as, he spotted his advisors slip in the room and take their position behind him, right on cue. “My name is Teddy Davine. I am
an R&B Recording Artist, NFL Wide Receiver and a self-professed bachelor.
But r
ight now,
I
am
the luckiest man in the world. I
feel
blessed and humbled to know that each one of you beautiful
women have
travelled
here to capture a
special
place in my heart.
A spot I have reserved for so many years
.
A spot I’ve
held sacred to be fill
ed only
by my wife and the mother of my children.
We don’t have a whole lot of time, but I promise I will talk one on one with each of you before the evening is over. Ten of you will be invited to stay at the Pleasure Palace to get to know me better. While unfortunately for the rest of you your journey will end tonight.
Let me introduce you
to
two of my many friends that will be advising me through this process. Please welcome Janette Sweet and Kai Johns. Kai is my teammate and a Wide Receiver for the LA Archangels and Janette is a high end boutique owner from Atlanta Georgia. Please don’t disrespect them, dismiss their relevance or take them for granted, because I value their opinion.
In fact please respect each other
as well
. I have a zero tolerance for drama
and I will not hesitate to end you time here and send you home.
Janette and Kai are important to me a
nd I will be consulting them prior to any and all eliminations.
So please govern yourself with that in mind.
Okay?” Teddy scanned the room of beautiful women to assure they understood perfectly that he was dead serious
and that he was not up for any bitch ass bullshit!
. They all smiled and nodded that they understood that it was now three asses that they had to kiss in order to get close to the Teddy Bear. “Great!
With that said please grab a glass and join me in a toast.
”

Waiters and waitresses surfaced with glasses of champagne and sparkling cider for non- drinkers. After everyone was served Teddy held his glass up in salute.
He took a good look at each face and made an effort to make eye contact with each one of them as he spoke.

“Here’s to the journey that we are about to embark on. During this journey promise
me that you will
never
lie
, cheat
,
steal
or over indulge
.
However
…
I
f you must lie, then lie in my loving arms. If you must steal then steal away for a secret rendezvous with me. If you must cheat then cheat fate and write your own happy ending. And if you absolutely must over indulge then over indulge on the moments that we share that leave you breathless.
Salute!”
    

“Salute!” Everyone jubilantly shouted. And right that very second the games began.
  

Unbeknown to the
women Teddy
had already made his preliminary s
elections
. However, unbeknown to Teddy the women had all brought their A Game and
every single one of them made his dick stiffen and squirm vigorously in his pants.
Teddy quickly adapted his game plan and broadened his selection criteria.

Now this was not Teddy’s first
bronco busting
rodeo by no stretch of the imagination. He had been stalked, conned, pursued and plotted on by some of the most
conniving
g
old
d
igg
ing skanks
on the planet. In fact he had developed and innate sixth sense that allowed him to identify them on si
ght a
nd boy was his sixth sense tingling tonight. As he casually mixed and mingled
with them
a
t
the cocktail mixer he quickly began to revise his list. In a matter of minutes his roster was selected and he was ready to play ball.

Totally ignoring his selected cast of leading ladies, Teddy made a concerted effort to spend time with each and every woman he planned to eliminate. Now
,
though Teddy was a self- professed ma
le
whore he actually was a very tender
hearted
man. The last thing he wanted was to have any woman hurt or degraded by the selection process. So he isolated each one of them and spent some quality time with them. It was only fair just in case his sixth sense was off, although it rarely failed him.

On target as usual his sixth sense had accurately isolated and identified the fakes, the gold diggers, the bisexuals and the drunks. Yes, the bisexuals. Now of course Teddy didn’t have a problem with their sexuality, but he was looking for a wife and the mother of his children. He had no intention of sharing his woman with anyone
, not even another woman
. He didn’t want an open relationship and realized that he had some but not all of the necessary equipment to satisfy them
.
S
o
,
he decided to simply avoid all of the inevitable drama and confusion
by cutting his losses before feelings became involved
. Besides they were being secretive about their sexuality and masquerading as heterosexual. This deceitful act alone was grounds for elimination in his mind.
So, he crossed five women off of his list.

Teddy was an
occasional,
extremely light drinker. Actually he never drank liquor.
He was a
professional
athlete
and he valued his health
and his brand
. So, he did not drink, he did not smoke and drugs with
w
ere absolutely out of the question.
On the rare occasions he chose to drink he
would
have
a beer or t
w
o
with his boys
.

Naturally,
there was no way
he was
g
oing to compromise his integrity
,
values
and lifestyle
by marrying a woman who had no self- control. Therefore s
everal
women were
immediately
eliminated
,
because they felt the need to get their drink on
and fly higher than Chinese kites
.
In all fairness it was a
cocktail mixer and everyone pretty much was having a drink, but these ladies had become inebriated in a matter of an hour.
They literally camped out at the bar and kicked back shots like Prohibition would be reinstituted
in any second.
Again Teddy was committed to find
ing
the
mother
o
f his children if nothing else, so sorry but the
ir
unscrupulous,
drunk asses had
to go.

Finally we come to the
fake ass
, lay on their back do anything for the dough
,
gold
digging hoes
. Not to say that
quite a few
of the other
women
previous
ly
deleted weren’t gold diggers, but these ladies were straight up professional gold diggers. Poised, polished and primed to relieve Teddy of his pot of gold, these leprechauns in stilettos
were the perfect pick
for any unsuspecting, naïve multimillionaire
.
Now
as extraordinarily fine and charming as Teddy was these women could have cared less. 

You see
they weren’t as concerned with the opportunity
to
marry Teddy as they were with the chance of having his baby. Teddy’s sperm in a fertile
, young
womb was as good as a winning
Powerball Lottery
ticket. And these ladies were licking their lips and wringing their little hands for their lucky chance to cash in.
S
exy, vivacious and as fine as Arabian sand these women played it cool and close and literally smothered Teddy with their sexiness. Although he was
captivated by their snake like charm and
loving
every
single
second of
their stellar performance,
he
knew the agenda of these money grubbing vipers and frankly Teddy wasn’t having it.

~*~*~

Within four hours the young women were summoned to the impressive great room of the huge mansion as Teddy, Icee and Kai compared notes and decided their fate. Fifteen women had to go that was sure. However, Teddy was hell bent on sending
nine
teen home. Unfortunately he couldn’t find but
six
women that fit his criteria. The producers begged him to reconsider but Teddy would not budge an iota on his decision.

In all fairness Teddy made a valid point. If the show is truly about finding love then why would the producers attempt to force
him to date
women he ha
ve
no interest in. The problem was that the show was slated to air for twelve consecutive weeks. Teddy had opted to exclusively date one woman a week for ten weeks. His decision to select
six
women instead of ten left the show a
few
week
s
short of its contractual obligation to the network. Scrambling to make it work they called Dorian to talk Teddy into seeing things their way.

Yeah, like
that
bullshit was going to fly. Everyone knew Teddy was as stubborn as a bear when it came to getting his way. So Dorian sent Logic and Toy to fly down from Vegas to handle the situation. Toy
was Dorian’s go to attorney to handle his west coast clients in an emergency. Licensed to practice in Vegas and LA she could settle any contract disputes that surfaced. They flew immediately to LA by private jet and arrived on the set within two hours.

Needless to say the twenty five women were as nervous as hookers soliciting blowjobs on judgment day. Ironically the ones who had the most to fear were the most confident. Teddy had spent the bulk of his time with the ones he planned to eliminate. The ones who were his favorites barely spent ten minutes alone with him. Naturally, they assumed that he simply wasn’t interested. Little did they know that it was the complete opposite.

Teddy was completely infatuated with
six
of the most beautiful women imaginable. He had no clue how he’d ever narrow them down to one lucky lady. So he was determined not to cloud this difficult process by adding
women
who he
really
didn’t want to
even sleep with
to the mix.

Luckily the bulk of the show was taped and only the results would be aired live.
Toy and Logic arrived just in time to assure that lights, camera and action were not delayed a minute. Toy was emailed the contract and briefed on the dilemma while they were still in the air. A solution instantly came to her and she immediately contacted the frustrated VHI producers with a brilliant resolution to the problem. They loved it and the show went on to air on time as planned.

The solution was an easy one. Teddy was allowed to be Teddy and have his way. Thus solidifying his position as a no nonsense eccentric bachelor who was legitimately in search of true love. They even aired portions of his heated debates with producers about the issue. The show would go on as planned with him dating a woman a week for the first
six
weeks. On the
seven
th week Teddy would be presented with a mind boggling
Let’s Make a Deal
type o
ption. Whether he accepted the new deal or passed VH1 would still have their mandatory
number of
show
s
.

It was a win- win situation and even Teddy was pleased with the resolution. Toy drew up the contract addendum and had Teddy sign them. It was a done deal and even Teddy was not privileged with the terms of the surprise
Let’s Make a Deal
o
ption. Of course Toy and Dorian knew the specifics and Teddy just had to trust that as his attorneys they made sure the deal had his best interest in mind. He knew they were family and he didn’t hesitate to sign the addendum. Moments later he
had to
face the twenty five beauties and delivered his
heartbreaking
decision.
