A sleek private jet lay sliver and shining on a secluded airstrip in a corner of Gatwick Airport. It was every inch a rich man's toy - and the rich man in it liked his toys. Sir Lionel Lyons saw the world as his playground, and had made a fortune selling pleasure to others. The rotund, surly 50-year-old was famous in Britain for producing a series of popular TV shows over several decades. He had spearheaded a small private channel with had grown to rival the venerable BBC. Constant criticisms over the crass, exploitative nature of the shows he produced was drowned out by their huge financial success. He had become a popular icon, albeit one deeply mired in scandal.
Not that this reputation bothered him in the slightest. Popularity meant nothing compared to the power he wielded. The pleasure of using people as his playthings was his greatest thrill. He had fought his way out of a slum and was determined to climb as high as possible.
Ensconced in the plush comfort of the jet, he surveyed a selection of files in his lap. A petite blonde girl in a sexualized stewardess' outfit poured him a drink. Normally - as was his wont - he would have taken her right there, in a heartbeat, but this time he barely looked up. As she cautiously walked back to the cabin he remained fixed on his report.
The first one dealt with his new show, Gladiatrix. A hyper-stylized reality show, it would entail various B-list female celebs, athletes and topless models competing against each other in stylized combative sports, wearing revealing costumes. The pilot episode had drawn howling condemnation from various protestors - and massive ratings and ad revenue. A whole series was now being prepared, and he was deep into designing the outline of future episodes.
Foremost in his mind was casting, in particular a single actress. This was his second issue. He looked over the photograph of Holly Valance for the thousandth time, his generous member swelling against his silk trousers. Lyons had studied her career in detail. She had launched to fame playing the town slut on a mediocre Australian soap. In an attempt to parlay that in something greater, she had produced a provocative music video of herself apparently dancing naked. Despite this and numerous bikini spreads in men's magazines, she had not enjoyed the success she lusted after so badly. Things grew worse as her film debut turned into a humiliating flop. An attempt to sue her now ex-manager and boyfriend for sabotaging her career backfired, garnering negative press and costing her dearly. Already the tabloids had pronounced her a has-been.
Lyon licked his bright pink lips. Soon Holly would be here, invited by him for a weekend retreat at his private island resort near Ibiza. He had allowed her the impression it was a casual job interview, combined with a privileged holiday. But once that door closed and they were airborne, he was going to show her a whole new price of fame.
