The Story of a Playboy (mature content warning)
A year ago…
Varina Plympton, house mother of the sorority called Sigma Pi, walks down a row of shower stalls. She’s a short, somewhat thick lady with a towel and a shower cap on to protect her hair. She walks past a few stalls that are closed and a few that are open with nubile college students inside taking showers. She stops when she hears moaning and sees the open curtain on the stall to see Mandy Turner entwined with a Jeremiah Vastrix in the shower.
Varina lets out a scream of rage at seeing a boy where no boys are actually allowed to be, doing things that are not allowed to happen.
Varina Plympton - Jeremiah Vastrix!
Jeremiah and Mandy turn to look at Varina with a deer-in-the-headlights look.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Oh no. Miss Plympton, I can explain…

We shift scenes to a guidance counselor’s office, where Jeremiah Vastrix sits at the desk of guidance counselor Rosalie Sweeting. She’s a lady in a professional skirt and button-up blouse with glasses.
Rosalie Sweeting - How many times have you been caught in the act this year, Jeremiah? How many schools have you been through? Let’s see here.
She goes through one folder after another.
Rosalie Sweeting - Expelled. Rude behavior. Expelled lewd behavior. Hospitalized. (She raises an eyebrow at him.) Your “thing” in a sling?
Jeremiah Vastrix - It’s not my fault! These girls…they throw themselves at me. Everywhere I go, I find some thirsty women who want to get in these pants.
Rosalie Sweeting - I know these times are good for exploratory urges, but you have really got to practice some sexual self-control. When these women throw themselves at you, you have really got to be able to use your mouth.
Jeremiah smiles big.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Oh, ma’am, I do.
Rosalie sighs.
Rosalie Sweeting - Not like that. To say “no”. Try it with me. Say no.
Jeremiah Vastrix - No?
Rosalie Sweeting - You know, I’m not sure if you’re saying no to saying no or if you’re saying no as directed. Let’s move on.
Jeremiah Vastrix - I can do that, yeah. Say no and stuff.
Rosalie Sweeting - Really? Let’s see. (She takes her glasses off and lets her hair down before standing up) It’s not that I’m entirely blind, you know. (She begins unbuttoning her blouse as she walks around the desk) Women around the world of all ages look for handsome, hard-bodied, young men like yourself. I would be crazy to say that I find myself instantly smitten. The question is, what will you do about it?
Rosalie opens her blouse to reveal braless breasts as she straddles Jeremiah’s lap.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Whatever the Doctor wants…
Rosalie Sweeting - Let’s put that to the test.
She leans down and begins to kiss Jeremiah passionately as his hands go to caress her bare breasts. Just then, the door to the office opens up, and a man enters with a clipboard in hand.
Man - Miss Sweeting, I think your next person will…
Rosalie pulls away from Jeremiah, looking at the man in shock at being discovered.
Rosalie Sweeting - Dean Hossman!
Jeremiah throws his head back with a sigh as Rosalie begins to close her blouse to the Dean’s glare.
Jeremiah Vastrix - My father is going to kill me…

Elsewhere, at the Warhammer HQ office in Hong Kong, China…Jeremiah Vastrix sits in a lounge chair. His mother, Monica Vastrix, sits on a couch not far away while his father, Michael Vastrix, paces in front of Jeremiah. His greying hair seems to be just a bit more grey as he walks and regards Jeremiah.
Michael Vastrix - How many schools, guilds, and dojos have we sent you to for you to get kicked out, Jeremiah?
Jeremiah goes to answer, but Michael cuts him off.
Michael Vastrix - How many?!
Jeremiah goes to answer again, but is again cut off.
Michael Vastrix - It doesn’t matter how many, because it’s too many! Tell me why I shouldn’t just have you killed?
Jeremiah Vastrix - Because I’m your last viable heir.
Michael stops in his tracks and looks at Jeremiah, his expression frozen between anger and disbelief.
Michael Vastrix - You make a good point, but as my only viable heir, I am going to need you to take things more seriously. I’m not going to be around forever, and I’m going to need you to be ready to be a businessman and not some playboy.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Can’t the two be opposite sides of the same coin? I mean, look at Batman and Bruce Wayne. He is a millionaire playboy AND Batman.
Michael Vastrix - This isn’t some superhero comic book story, Jeremiah. You’re going to have to grow up, Jeremiah. If you are going to be my heir, you’re going to have to buckle down and get into the business proper. Work instead of play!
Jeremiah looks to Monica, who nods to him when Michael isn’t looking at her.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Yes, father. I will get more into the work side of things. I will become more serious. Where do you want me to begin?
Michael Vastrix - Start small. Buy some businesses and develop them. Build a portfolio and then come back to me.
Jeremiah Vastrix - I will, father. I will make you proud.
Michael Vastrix - I will believe it when I see it, but I really hope you can turn things around, son. Now, go…
Jeremiah walks out of the room, ideas forming in his head of what to do next.

Jeremiah Vastrix is in front of a skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois. There’s a stone sign by the front door that says “Tentare Industries”. He walks in through the front door with a wide smile. Not far inside the front door is a desk where a security guard has a wall of monitors and watches those who come into the building.
Jeremiah walks up to the man and sees that his nametag says Shawn Burke.
Shawn Burke - Who are you here to see?
Jeremiah Vastrix - I’m here to see Giles Westfall.
Shawn raises an eyebrow as he gives Jeremiah a more thorough look, taking in the right eye that glows blue.
Shawn Burke - You’re here to see the CEO? Do you have an appointment to see him?
Jeremiah Vastrix - I don’t have an appointment, but he is expecting me to drop by. Hi. I’m Jeremiah Vastrix, the new majority shareholder of Tentare Industries.
Shawn Burke - Last I knew, the majority owner was Armand von Krauss.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Yeah well, he offloaded it to me so that he could buy a lot of shares in the Conquest Wrestling Federation.
Shawn Burke - I guess that makes sense. Alright. Giles Westfall is at the top floor. Down the hall and first elevator to the right.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Thank you.
Jeremiah goes through the security checkpoint after taking everything out of his pockets and such. Shawn is still needing to use the hand-held metal detector on him as Jeremiah cannot remove the cybernetic eye or its housing. Once he is cleared, he gathers his pocket stuff back up and heads to the indicated elevator. He presses the button for the top floor and waits as the elevator goes all the way to the top floor.
He exits the elevator and sees that there is a single office on the entire top floor and that it belongs to Giles Westfall. His secretary, Janice Westbloom, waits for him at her desk acting as a final checkpoint before he can get to the CEO.
Janice Westbloom - Mr. Vastrix? Mr. Westfall is waiting for you in his office. You may go in.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Oh, please. Mr. Vastrix is my father. Call me Jeremiah. And…do remember to call me.
Janice blinks a moment before she realizes that she was being hit on. She giggles a school girl laugh.
Janice Westbloom - Oh, you are a bold one. I rather like that.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Oh, you haven’t even seen boldness, my dear.
Jeremiah walks by her desk to get to the door to the CEO’s office and reaches down to her blouse that already has the top two buttons undone to reveal a fair bit of cleavage. He uses one hand to pop open another button to show off a good amount of a lacy white bra and even more cleavage. Janice’s jaw drops open and her face goes a deep red in shock. She doesn’t go to button it back up though and just grins at him.
Jeremiah Vastrix - I’ll see you later.
Janice Westbloom - Oh, I’ll be here.
She reaches under the desk and presses a button to buzz Jeremiah into the office. He walks in to see Giles Westfall sitting at his desk and waiting with a box of expensive imported Cuban cigars and a bottle of single malt whiskey open with two tumblers with a serving in each.
Giles Westfall - I heard the news, sir! I feel like a celebration is in order for the new majority owner!
Jeremiah takes a seat opposite of Giles and takes a glass of whiskey and a cigar. He quickly cuts the end off of the cigar and lights it up, taking a nice, long drag from it and blowing the smoke into the air before taking a sip of the whiskey with a satisfied sound.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Yes, I thought someone who respected the legacy left by the man who built this company from the ground up.
Giles Westfall - Good. Armand didn’t do much with us other than let us continue to provide adventures for folks as we had since we began. I was shocked at that.
Jeremiah Vastrix - I might float you some ideas for different adventures, but otherwise I will prolly leave you alone as long as you are going to be making me money.
Giles Westfall - Oh, that we do, sir. That we do.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Thank you for that. I guess celebration really is in order.
He takes another drag of his cigar, blowing the smoke out into the air, and taking another sip of his whiskey.
Jeremiah Vastrix - To great adventures and profitable times!
Giles Westfall - To great adventures and profitable times!
The two clink their glasses together and drink up so that Giles can refill the glasses.
**********
We open a few days later at an exclusive club in Chicago, Jeremiah Vastrix and Janice Westbloom are sitting at a table and sipping on mixed drinks. They are in fanciful club wear that marks them out as well to do people.
Janice Westfall - Tell me, Jeremiah. Where do you see this going?
Jeremiah Vastrix - I’m hoping to my hotel room if I’m lucky.
Janice Westfall - Well, that’s obvious, duh. But, where do you see us going as a couple? Are we to be girlfriend/boyfriend? Are you looking to settle down and have kids? Where’s your mind at, Jeremiah?
Jeremiah seems to consider for some time before answering.
Janice Westfall - I’m sorry. It’s only been a few days and here I’m putting commitment pressure on you already.
Jeremiah Vastrix - No, it’s alright. You’re just trying to get this locked down before someone else tries to get in a play. I understand that and feel the same way. So, would you be my girlfriend?
Janice sets her drink down, trying to look calm, but she is nearly vibrating with excitement. Jeremiah puts his drink down so that she can wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him passionately. It’s over a minute before they break apart to get some air.
Janice Westfall - A thousand times yes! I would love to be your girlfriend!
Janice hugs Jeremiah tight and so with her chin on his shoulder, she sees Feng Zhang walking toward them with his hand glowing with dark power. He points the palm out towards them as Janice realizes what’s going on.
Janice Westfall - JEREMIAH!
Janice throws Jeremiah out of his chair to the floor as an energy beam streaks from Zhang’s hand to strike her in the chest. The beam goes right through her and into the back of the chair, causing it to explode and throw Janice to the floor as she bounces off of the table first.
Feng Zhang rushes over to the downed Jeremiah to strike him with a glowing fist. However, Jeremiah is up to his knees, catching Zhang by the wrist with one hand and hitting a palm strike to the chin with the other. He stands up while holding the wrist.
Feng Zhang - You die today, Vastrix!
Zhang opens his glowing fist up in order to send another energy blast, but Jeremiah points his hand toward the floor, his right eye glows a bright blue.
Jeremiah Vastrix - You first.
A line of blue energy, a laser, streams from Jeremiah’s artificial eye and strikes Feng Zhang right between the eyes, burning through his head and into the floor. Jeremiah drops the dead assassin to the floor and runs to Janice’s side, pulling her to his chest.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Janice! Janice! You…you hold on. You saved my life!
Janice Westfall - A good girlfriend…will…do that…for you.
Jeremiah Vastrix - You were a very good girlfriend. Just hold on. Help is on the way.
Janice goes quiet and limp in Jeremiah’s arms.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Janice? Janice! Oh God!
He holds her while EMTs and police arrive…

The present day
Jeremiah Vastrix is in a resort in Las Vegas in his room. He is lying naked on the bed next to the Wrestle: UK World champion, Vespertine. She is also nude. It’s clear from the chaos of the bed and room in general that they have been at “it” for hours. A fine sheen of sweat covers both of them.
Vespertine - And that is how you began your journey to being co-owner of Conquest Wrestling Federation? Your own father hired assassins to kill you?
Jeremiah Vastrix - Yeah, the more I worked to become a power in the business community, the more it triggered his paranoia about me wanting to kill him and take over the entire Warhammer Corporation. He’s calmer now, but I wouldn’t put it past him to try again sometime.
Vespertine - Well, I will help defend you if it happens while I’m near. I won’t go down easy. Well, I mean…I do, but I won’t die easily.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Thank you. Now, I have this AWS Champions Carnival to prepare for. It’s a rumble type match. The last two winners will go against the current World champion, Adam Stryker.
Vespertine snuggles against Jeremiah’s side with a grin.
Vespertine - Maybe you’ll get lucky and draw last place to have the advantage at winning the thing and move on.
Jeremiah Vastrix - That would be good, except for the fact that I have volunteered to be the first one in the ring. We have to show them that CWF is superior to AWS. I will go through everyone to get to that title match and put Stryker down for the count.
Vespertine - Oh, that’s hot.
She reaches down and begins to stroke Jeremiah’s member to life.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Oh yeah.
Vespertine - Who is all going to be in the match?
Jeremiah Vastrix - I don’t recall seeing a list of people. I might have somewhere, but I don’t really recall. I just know that with my cybernetic eye’s software helping me predict their moves and such, I should be able to throw people from the ring left and right. Well…at least be able to defend myself.
Jeremiah now reaches to Vespertine’s mound, running his finger through her folds. She lets out a moan, working her hand a little faster.
Vespertine - Oh my…you are going to drive me crazy.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Not much of a drive. You have a world class championship, I’m going to get one too. We will be champions together!
Vespertine - You’ll be the champion tonight.
She sits up and leans over Jeremiah’s body so that she can put her mouth around his stiff member. Jeremiah’s eyes roll up from the intense pleasure.
Jeremiah Vastrix - Yeah…I will be champion…
