Playing Games With The Billionaire

Lynan soon found himself back at the bubbly idol’s side and gratefully let her lead their conversation.He began to feel rather shabby the more he looked around; glittering evening dresses and flashy suits adorned everyone else.The only person who wasn’t dressed so was a good looking man who wore an awesome traditional outfit that Lynan couldn’t remember the name of, but wow.He was so screwed.He didn’t stand a chance.All conversations ceased abruptly, and he looked up to find Yael striding into the room behind another tall, light brown haired man. This one was dressed in a light blue fitting suit and walked with a calm, happy attitude very at odds with Yael’s sombre appearance.Lynan recognized him as being a very popular TV show host.“Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. You may remember me from our phone conversations but I am Kosh Solace. I am helping to run this show and will be providing commentary to yourselves and the viewers at home. As you may remember, there are no cell pho

After listening to Taylor wail and screech about a damn peck on the hand all night, Lynan woke up far too early once again.Unfortunately, his nerves were no less frayed now than they were last night.Great.On the plus side, the petty man was thrilled with the chance of winning a solo date today but now, he had holed up in one of the few big bathrooms refusing to let anyone else in.Lynan decided to avoid the entire fiasco by trailing down to the kitchen in his pajamas and getting a coffee. He could just throw something on before they had to leave.By some act of God, no one else had the same idea, and the kitchen was mercifully quiet.He shuffled in still sleepy, rubbing his eyes and yawning before sluggishly moving to boil the jug and loading up a mug with copious amounts of coffee and sugar.He wondered if anyone would notice if he stole cream instead of milk. The extra sugar sounded amazing right now.He poured the water in, stirred in the milk, and then leaned back against the c

Taylor won the next solo date and Lynan was about ready to punch the smugness and arrogance right off of his face.The white pony lady beat him to it and slugged Taylor in the stomach after a nasty comment to Eve.“Let’s be honest, who wants a fucking virgin,” Taylor had carelessly and rudely threw out in to the room towards Eve which earned him more than one glare and the said slug to the stomach.Lynan made the woman a cocktail and raised a toast in her honor that evening.This place was causing him to drink far too much. But it shut Taylor up to the point that he left to sulk with Liev and Caleb in the bedroom.Ah, the sweet sound of peace.He spent the entire next day having one massive cooking lesson with a few of the other contestants.Several others declined the lesson but were more than happy to sample and judge the dishes.It was going well until Yui set fire to a pot on the stove top and the head of the mansion security, now impromptu firefighter, had to come and scold them

Yael had to go back to work after lunch so Lynan made use of his freedom to grab his camera and head off into the gardens that surrounded the mansion to snap off some photos.He even ventured off to the edge of the property and into the slightly forested area much to Jasper’s obvious annoyance.The man wasn’t allowed to speak while the cameras were rolling but the glares made his opinion known just as well.Still, it had been a refreshing little adventure and Lynan was feeling a lot more energetic than before.Almost enough to be able to deal with Taylor’s whining. Almost.He groaned aloud at the memory of earlier in the day and ran his hands over his face. Jasper gave him an odd look from behind the camera and he explained in despair.“If Taylor finds out about today, then I’ll never hear the end of it. I hope he’s too wrapped up in whatever he did today that he doesn’t check the day’s highlights.”Jasper’s smirk suggested that the cameraman actually wanted Taylor to find out. Of cou

Two full days he’d had to wait and now, tomorrow was his solo date with Yael.Lynan was lying on the roof, star gazing, having ditched both the other contestants and the cameras.He was nervous about tomorrow but perhaps, not for the reason most people thought.Sure, it was intimidating to have so much alone time with the man, especially after what he has heard from the others about their own dates, but that wasn’t all.Each time he thought about the next day, his mind brought up the almost kiss from the beginning of the week before skittering away in nervous embarrassment.He wasn’t very good at the whole ‘think before you act’ thing and really needed to think of other things.Like the other reason he was nervous.There had been some kind of big emergency thing for Yael at work and he had to leave the mansion for an entire day after their obstacle activity.The businessman spent the next day with everyone in apology but Lynan was concerned. Not about the man’s work, but about the dar
