Oh my ...
Business and Pleasure by belyste
I'm totally and utterly fried.
Written for the spn_harlequin, it's unabashedly sappy and romantic and practically dripping with cliches of the harlequin-romance kind.
I ADORE it.
Summary: Jared’s a philandering CEO and Jensen’s his overworked assistant - that is, until Jared decides he needs to improve his image by having a serious relationship and chooses Jensen to be his fake boyfriend. But Jensen’s a little in love with Jared and Jared has ideas of his own, and pretty soon no one is certain what’s fake and what’s real anymore. Featuring dancing, denial, a lot of inappropriate work behavior, and an infamous office holiday party.
Hey, this is a harlequin-romance! But believe me, this one is a definite keeper.
But even if Jensen is a little more than half in love with Jared, he doesn’t let himself even consider the possibility of anything more between them than a working relationship. For one thing, Jensen likes his job - he’s good at it, he enjoys it most of the time, and the pay is good enough to make up for the rest of the time - and he’s not going to jeopardize it for a one night stand. And that’s the other reason that it won’t ever happen, because one night stands are kind of Jared’s specialty. It’s not malicious on his part - Jared grew up with everything a kid could want and probably shouldn’t have, and his privileged upbringing instilled in him the idea that nothing (and no one) are off-limits, and since very few people turn down a wealthy, handsome CEO of a lucrative business, Jared’s gotten used to seducing every attractive body that crosses his path. He’s kind of like the Paris Hilton of the business world, Jensen has thought more than once, although smarter and a lot less sketchy and without the stupid catchphrases, reality TV shows, and the crappy CD. Jared probably has the STDs and the sex tapes, though, which is sort of reason number three Jensen isn’t going to sleep with him.
