The Contest
Jace and Richard were not always great friends. They had come to know each other though the social outlets their careers had led them to. Jace Parker was a famous performing artist. He had been the lead guitar playing front man of a popular band "The Crosstown Saints" but soon started a highly successful solo career. He was well known by all and was typically featured in the tabloids dating some up-and-coming actress.
Richard Stevens on the other hand was an actor. He had started as a teen actor and went on to landing lead or supporting roles in large Hollywood features. His picture had once appeared in teen magazine poster inserts, but he now took on more serious acting positions.
"I can't believe you landed that blonde last night," smirked Richard. "Wasn't that an engagement ring on her finger?"
"Probably," Jace laughed. "I was probably her last hurrah!"
"You have sure come a long way," Richard stated. "You're almost as good as me. I can take any woman I want. It doesn't matter who they are."
"Almost as good?" Jace asked. "I could beat you blind folded with my hands tied behind my back."
"You're all talk," Richard said. "I'd like to see you put your money where your mouth is."
"I feel a wager coming on," Jace said with a smile. "It will only be worth it if we bet something real. Obviously, money is no object to either of us. It can't be anything materialistic."
The two of them sat around for the next couple hours coming up with what their bet should be and what the cost to the loser would be. Finally, Richard thought he had the terms lined up.
"So, you claim you can get any woman, correct?" Richard asked while picking up a newspaper. He then flipped to the "Recently Engaged" section. "For the bet, let's pick 3 couples, in 3 years we'll have a party. You'll need to have the wife humiliate each husband in front of an audience. If you can do this, you win the bet. What do you want if you win?"
"Damn, that is going to be tough, yet doable," Jace expressed. "It is going to cost you though. I know there has always been a bro-code between us but if I win, I get you blessing to go after your ex-Samantha."
Samantha had been the only girl that Richard had loved. When she broke up with him, he had taken the breakup extremely hard. Trying to get over her was the catalyst for his womanizing ways. Seeing his friend with her, would be devastating.
"Not only will you have to introduce us. You will need to convince her to go out with me. Not that she will need convincing," Jace laughed.
Jace knew he caught Richard by surprise with his suggestion. Richard could not back down though. He racked his brain for an equally devastating reward.
"Ok, I'll agree," Richard smiled. "As long as you give me the same blessing to someone dear to you, Heidi."
"You sick fuck," Jace continued. "You want me to pimp out my 16 year old sister to you? What the fuck dude?"
"Look, in three years she'll be 19, not exactly a child. What would she want with a guy in his 30s anyway? But hell, if you don't feel confident you can win, I understand," Richard smirked.
"You're a real son of a bitch, but I'm not backing down. In 3 years, you'll have to deal with me dating your sweet little Samantha. You have a deal!" Jace announced.
Over the next week, the two friends hired a security commission who was to engineer the execution of the bet. Since money was no object, they wanted a fair unbiased implementation of the event itself. Reluctantly, Richard agreed that Jace could also use the firm to research each couple to find out what he was dealing with. They came up with an idea to hold an exclusive party where the seduction would take place. Since the husband had to be humiliated in front of others, they devised a "cheater test" theme for the party. The whole event would be caught on a closed-circuit camera system for the guests to watch. They figured they could have a fun interesting party with a twist that people would talk about for years.
The firm was good at its work. It followed each couple for the years from their wedding days up into the event itself. They came up with clever ways to get each couple to the event. For example, they may have one of the couple's relatives send them the invite. They wanted a "guppy thrown into a shark tank" situation.
Three years later- Couple #1 John & Jenny
Jenny had been best friends with Lisa since middle school. They did everything together. After high school, they attended College together as well. Jenny was always a little jealous of Lisa. Although Jenny was good looking herself, Lisa was at a different level. Every time the two would go out to meet boys, Lisa always had first choice. At first, this made her upset but over time she learned to accept it.
Having Lisa as a friend was not always so bad. Usually, attractive men traveled in pairs and the one Lisa did not pick was usually better than a guy she could pick up on her own. The real issue was that Jenny was shy. Lisa was not only beautiful but her beaming personality made her even more attractive. Jenny got used to having Lisa run the show. Instead of learning from Lisa, she would sit in the passenger's seat and go along for the ride.
Even up to present day, Lisa always made all the plans when they would hang out together. Lisa and her husband Ray were very present in Jenny and John's life. It was Ray that had introduced Jenny to John. John was Ray's friend from High School. After college, when Ray started dating Lisa, he re-connected with John. Since Jenny was always around, the two soon met and hit it off. The couple dated for several years. Once Lisa and Ray got married, it was only a matter of time before John and Lisa filed suit. The two couples even purchased homes on the same street. It was rare to find an instant where they did not hang out.
Growing up, Lisa and Jenny were big Crosstown Saints fans. Lisa was probably more into them than Jenny but anything Lisa did Jenny followed. One day, Ray came home from work and told Lisa he had a huge surprise for her. One of his clients added him to a list to attend an exclusive Hollywood party. Not only that, but he had a plus 3. Lisa was thrilled to hear that many celebrities would be attending this special event.
"Oh my God!" Lisa screamed. "Jenny is going to be so stoked when I tell her!"
"Are you sure we should ask Jenny and John?" Ray asked.
"Of course, who else would we go with?" Lisa replied with a look of confusion on her face.
"Ok, see if they can go," Ray continued. "But we need to know right away as I need to add their names to the list."
A couple weeks later, it was time to attend the party. Lisa and Jenny were both dressed to the nines and both looked absolutely stunning. This had been the most exciting thing that had happened to them in ages.
When they arrived at the party, security was pretty intense. Their IDs were checked to make sure they were who they said they were. Each person was forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement. There was even a notary there notarizing each contract.
"Why do we need to sign these?" John asked.
"You don't have to sign anything, I don't have to let you in either," stated a smiling security guy. 'Look, these parties get pretty wild, there are a lot of celebrities here. Nobody wants to end up on TMZ if you catch my drift. Now give me your phones. You get them back at the end."
The couples did as they were told and were let into the party.
The party did not disappoint. The food spread was unbelievable, and the bar was all top shelf. The party was held at a large estate with many rooms of different sizes. It seemed like there were multiple parties going on within the many floors of the estate. One room had a band playing in it, another had a DJ playing club music with a famous rapper freestyling live.
As usually, Lisa kept running the show. Jenny was getting annoyed that Lisa was dragging her everywhere. Lisa looked fantastic and was getting looks from many different men at the party. Jenny felt a bit invisible, while Lisa relished the attention.
As the night went on, the drinks kept flowing. While the girls were dancing, the guys saw an old MLB player at the bar and started talking to him. When the girls came up to the guys, who did not want to leave, they told the guys they wanted to explore the house. The girls went on a mission that led them downstairs. Meanwhile, the guys stayed behind and conversed with the ball player.
"There are so many hot guys at this party," Lisa laughed.
"I know, this is crazy," Jenny concurred.
As the two girls entered a new room, Lisa's mouth dropped open wide, "Holy fuck! Look, It's Jace Parker! I can't believe he is here, I might just faint!" Lisa gasped. "I never thought I'd run into him. He's on my Hall Pass list, do you think he'd fuck me?"
Jenny just rolled her eyes, like Jace Parker is going to wisp her away into a bedroom and fuck her right there.
But something unexpected occurred. Jace made his way over to the girls.
