Chuck
Man, o man, what a night that was. The women were very aggressive last night and were all over me. I think our bed was overly full and I know there were more bodies than the Fab Five, Lisa, Tina, and Lena. A couple of times, some very small bodies were in the mix, and once, I could tell it was Maria's cute little puffy nipples I was sucking.
It's hard (no pun intended) to believe a guy can make all those women happy, but I think I did. With the help of the women helping each other and me not letting myself go, I think I did the unthinkable and plowed all of them at least once, and I know Brandy, Lisa, and Tiani had seconds. Lisa was constantly in my ear and in my mind, as she kept urging me on to do one more and then to do her really good. When I was in Lena's long arms and legs, Lisa was telling me, make her yours, she doesn't know what she has at home, make her yours.
I would personally prefer she hook up with Ben, but they didn't seem to be as tight as they were. They were still great friends, but weren't sneaking off together lately.
Tina was the needy one. I know I did her a couple of times and she was the recipient of one of my orgasms. She was purring with loving sounds as I shrunk from her and I was attacked by someone's loving mouth. The two little Chinese girls were very interesting and really enjoyed being under me. I would have thought they would like being in the superior position, but they wanted me to be on top and wanted to be pounded too. Maria is so loving, warm, and sweet, with kisses that are oh so special.
The Fab Five are always a treat. Brandy and Tiani are a real duo. I wish I had two dicks so I could do them both at the same time. As it is, it's like I do that, as I'm doing one, the other is right there helping the one I'm doing get off. Frieda has become a very gentle, loving, pregnant lady that really enjoys getting on her knees and having me get to her that way. Nancy and Judy both like being loved conventionally, and want to be kissed and have their nipples sucked. There is always someone beating me to their nipples.
Then there is Lisa. We made love. The two of us connected mentally, as well as physically. We coupled together until I unloaded my biggest and last load of the night. It was special, and all the rest of the ladies recognized that what we had was special. They kissed and touched us lovingly until we all fell asleep.
This morning, I woke amidst a pile of women, some sleeping toes to nose, and others head to head. A small dark head was on my thigh, while another was on my stomach. One of the small heads was doing something with my ego and was going to be rewarded very soon. I looked to see who it could be and noticed the head on my stomach was connected to a darker body than the head on my thigh. The darker body was squirming and when I looked, there was another small dark head, with a bronze body, that was doing something to the one teasing me.
Man, these girls were going to drive me nuts. Just the visual of all the flesh, plus the head between Tiani's legs had me ready to squirt. Someone began squeezing my balls and that was all she wrote. I let loose a gallon or so into Tiani's mouth. She swallowed quickly and was groaning from her own release.
Tiani turned her head up to me and grinned as she crawled up to get a kiss. "I just love to have you that way. It makes me feel so good to drain you of everything you have. I know you'll just make more, but that one was just for me, and I loved it."
That little girl is so loving most of the time. The others began waking and coming up for a kiss. Taiying, Sing, and Maria held back this morning in the light coming through the windows. When I held my arms out to them to come to me, all three lunged to get into my arms. I kissed each of them and thanked them for such a wonderful night before. They giggled with the compliment, then got up to start the day.
Lisa and Tina lay in my arms on each side of me. I asked Lisa, "So what was the deal to have them all join in last night? You know I haven't been receptive to having all of the women of the house intimate with us."
Tina answered for her, "It's all of our fault. We girls, and that means all the rest of us, really have fallen for our little Chinese girlfriends and the delicious Maria. Doesn't she look like a younger Juanita? She's so loving and so sweet. I definitely want to keep those three around. Do you know they put me to sleep every morning when I've worked those horrible long nightshifts? They give me a massage and do other nice things to put me to sleep. That is so sweet."
Lisa said, "You know Lena has been lonely and we haven't been able to help her. She's told all of us that she really wants to be closer to you and asks for us to help her convince you she is worthy. The girl is sweet and you have to love how sexy she's become. She's so big, you know, tall and just big. She's still slim, but my goodness, there is a lot of her."
"So what's the deal, I said that you seven were enough, is it ten or eleven now?"
Tina said, "You'll only have nine on the trip. Lena and I have school, so you won't have us. We'll have a chance to get closer while you're gone and that's a good thing. I think you should treat Taiying, Sing, and Maria the same as you treat the others. You know, it doesn't hurt to give them pleasure too. I can't believe a guy doesn't like the variety you have. I also think you should be taking care of those women you have in Costa Rica. Brandy said they are all waiting for you. I know you've told them to find other men, but they would follow you back here if you let them. Brandy says they are all lookers, so you need to take care of them too."
Lisa said, "You'll see for yourself, Tina. You won't believe that this guy turns them down so easily."
"Yeah, I would. I've seen the way he's put Lena and her sister off. I sure wouldn't do that if I were a guy. Hell, I don't do that and I'm a girl."
I told the two, "You guys are all girl oriented. All of you enjoy another girl as much as me, if not more. You can mix and match without feeling that you are breaking a commitment, but I feel guilty having more than one of you."
Tina said, "That's silly. Guys are supposed to be pussy hounds. You're supposed to be feathering your cap, carving notches in your bed posts, or whatever you do. We girls aren't supposed to enjoy multiple males, but no one says we shouldn't enjoy multiple girls, so we do. If we enjoyed multiple guys, we would be sluts, we're still sluts for enjoying lots and lots of girls, but no one cares. So you see, Chuck, we have it made. We enjoy each other, and get to enjoy you too. I wish we could clone you so we could all have one of you, but we can't, so you have to take up the slack. Come on, let's get going. We're flying to Costa Rica today and I'm going with you."
We were up, showered, and dressed quickly. We all went to the patio for breakfast and said goodbye to the girls before they left for work. Lena went to school, and then the house ladies, along with Tina, Lisa, and I went home to get our clothes together and leave.
I called out to the airpark to see if the Citation would be available. It was, so I asked that it be fueled and prepped for a trip to Costa Rica.
Lisa wanted to know if we should take our equipment cases, but I told her, "We'll take our sidearms, but that's all. I'm not interested in getting involved in anything while we are there. We shouldn't have to, as the town is very friendly."
Lisa asked, "Are you going to take your new tux?"
"No way. If I'm supposed to wear a tux, they will have it for me and I don't want to take away from the pleasure their plans give them. For you, take a lightweight dress, anything but white. Take that powder blue one that is so sexy on you."
Lisa grinned and said, "I'll have to have Sue make me some more of that one. The way that you attack me when I wear it, I should get it in a dozen colors and just wear those."
"I could handle that," I said, adjusting my crotch.
Lisa smacked me on the shoulder as we got ready. Tina had her clothes together and said, "I have my dark blue dress that's similar to Lisa's. Is that why you give me so much attention when I wear it?"
When we were ready, the house girls all wanted to go with us, but I told them, "You girls are going with us on the boat. One of these days, I'll take you back to Costa Rica, but right now, this trip is for one of the girls down there."
From Tampa to Limon, Costa Rica is only a little over twelve hundred miles so we were landing in less than two and a half hours. We parked where directed and were greeted by the customs man who was always there. I passed him a couple of bills and he smiled broadly. The man asked, "You are so good to come for the wedding of one of your women. Most men would be jealous and angry. You are a wonderful man to be so loving to your women. They all care for you very much."
That was more than I needed to know, but nice to hear anyway. The guy didn't even look at our luggage and got a taxi for us right away. He told me, "I will have your nice aircraft watched for you. The payment you gave me is for that. I thank you for using my services."
Ah, so that's how he justified his taking the token of my gratitude. I would make it more next time.
When we arrived at the condo, the house girls were out of the condo and down the stairs to the taxi before we opened the taxi door. They were all dressed in their tiniest t-back bikinis. They were almost completely bare, which was normal for them, but had Tina drooling before she stepped from the cab.
Lisa said, "Down girl. Patience, they are all just as friendly as you are hoping they will be. All are as clean as a pin because Chuck had them all checked. Isn't this going to be a nice weekend?"
Tina moaned, "Do I have to go back to school? I need a week with each of them just to get to know them. Wow! And you say Chuck resists them? How?"
We went inside where the house girls began talking in very proper English. One of the girls smiled broadly and said, "We are going to school to speak perfect English. We will learn not only English, but we will become college girls and be even more appealing to Chuck." She smiled at me and said, "You haven't kissed us yet, we are all waiting."
I held out my arms, and four fine looking, barely dressed, ladies hugged me. I kissed each one with kisses that turned to flames as they lingered with their tongues in my mouth. By the time I was done, my pants were too tight.
The girls told Tina and Lisa, "Come with us and we will show you where you will stay with Chuck. Then we should go to the boat. Those girls will want to see him right away."
I walked into the kitchen and found the booze. I put some ice in a glass and poured myself a tall drink.
The girls took a long time, a very, very, long time to get their clothes put away upstairs. When they returned, all six of them were in shorts, tank tops and deck shoes. Lisa came up and gave me a kiss with pussy flavored lips. She asked, "Do you like my new lip gloss?"
Tina heard her and blushed. She said, "Yes, your housekeepers here are very friendly."
The two girls wanted a drink, so I made up a bunch of mojitos for all of them. The four house girls squealed with happiness that I was making drinks for them too.
When we finished our drinks, the house girls said, "Let's take the car to the yacht club. It will fit us all now." I wondered how an old 450 SL was going to carry seven people, until we went down to the garage. Next to the 450 was an old Lincoln convertible complete with suicide doors. The house girls crowded around me and asked, "Do you like it? We bought it just for you so we could all go together. An old man at the yacht club asked us if we wanted to buy it for you, so we did. Isn't it beautiful?"
This car was like the presidents used to ride in. It was huge and beautifully kept, with perfect black paint.
We drove to the yacht club and the smiling gate man waved us through. After parking, we walked down to the boat and were greeted halfway there by the five boat ladies. All of them were surrounding us, hugging each other, and kissing my two ladies, as well as me. They hurried us on board to go into the main salon. They had snacks and glasses ready to make drinks. They made us all drinks and surprised me when they all began speaking in English. They gave me the same story as the condo girls. They were learning English and would be going to college soon as well.
One of the boat girls came to me and gave me a sweltering kiss. I was surprised because this was the one I thought was getting married. She said to me, "Would you give me a wedding present?" In front of all the women, she asked, "Please, take me to the master room and make love to me. Give me one time with you to know that I've made love with you at least once. Please?"
I was shocked, "What about your intended? Shouldn't he be the one for that?"
"Oh no, he knows I'm not pure and was used by that horrible man, but he has to wait until tomorrow night. Until then I am not his. I want to be yours for one time. Please make love to me?"
Lisa and Tina took me by the arms and said to the girl, "We'll drag him kicking and screaming to this master room. Show us the way, and get ready, you're going to be made love to the way it was intended."
Lisa and Tina took me downstairs with the beautiful girl that was soon to be a bride, as all eight of the other girls came with us. When we were in the beautiful master cabin below deck, Tina and Lisa began undressing me. The other eight girls soon had the lovely girl bare as well and laid out on the big bed. The girls laid me next to the beauty and all stood back watching.
Lisa said, "Okay, she's all yours. You can kiss her now."
I turned to the beautiful girl and she looked into my eyes with her beautiful brown, watery, eyes. As she hugged herself to me and kissed me, I couldn't help but to respond. We kissed for long minutes then I began caressing her. What seemed like hours later, we were laying back after two very satisfying couplings. The girl, Penie', said to me, "That was so beautiful. I would marry you in a second, but I know you have many women already. All of us want to be your wives and will be if you want."
Since this lady would soon be married to another, I said, "Please be the best wife you can be and always be faithful to your man. I hope you have a wonderful life and raise lots of babies."
The girl hugged me tightly and said, "That is what I wanted to hear more than anything. You loved me, and you're now giving me away to my husband to be. My parents are gone and you are the giver of me to my intended. You have given me the love that I have wanted, but I hope it will be surpassed by the love I will receive from my new husband."
We kissed some more and almost began fooling around again. She sucked on me a few minutes, then she said. "Let's take a shower and go see our friends again. They will know we have enjoyed each other and will be happy for me. You should make them happy too, you know. They all want to have you. Think about it as they are all good women."
Back in the main salon, Lisa and Tina hugged me tightly, and Lisa said, "We didn't stay watching you very long, but long enough to know you were going to make her a happy woman. You did good, Chuck. All we've heard since we left you down there was that they all want you too. What do you have, some kind of magic pheromone that attracts good looking women?"
We had another couple of drinks before Penie' said, "Tonight is the special before wedding dinner. We will all eat special dark green treats with clams, oysters, lobsters, and other food from the sea. All these will make my new husband and me fertile to have many children." She giggled and almost whispered, "Perhaps I carry a gift to the altar with me."
Oh man, I hope not. This girls needs to pop a little one that looks like daddy, not me.
Several people came to the boat while we were visiting in the salon. The very forward lady from the boat across the dock, along with several of the people from the club came to visit. We finally directed everyone to head to the club for the beginning of the festivities. Penie' said that tonight she was not allowed to dance with her intended, but would be dancing with all of his friends, as well as with me. She said, "I am lucky as I have a dowry, when so many of the girls of the town do not. You will be the one to give it to my intended's father tonight and that will be the bond that cannot be broken. Only if we can't have children can the bond be broken. I think we will have a long and happy life."
At the club, we had more booze but there was now food everywhere. Somewhere around eight in the evening, I was brought to the center of the dance floor with Penie' and the other boat girls. The other girls gave me a large envelope that appeared to be stuffed with money.
An older man came to the middle of the dance floor, joining me along with a nice looking young man. We shook hands and the young man asked in decent English, "Please, Sir, I ask you for Penie's hand in marriage. I promise to keep her in comfort, to feed and clothe her, and have many babies to bless you with grandchildren. Please, grant me her hand in marriage."
The older man asked, "I wish my boy to marry. Will you agree to their desire?"
I handed the man the large envelope and said, "It will be my pleasure to have your son as mine. I give you this as a token that I take your son for my Penie'."
I must have done it right, as everyone began clapping and cheering. Penie' and the boy were looking sheepishly at each other. The father said, "Now, let us rejoice that I am getting rid of a dead beat son and gaining a beautiful daughter." With that he ruffled his son's hair and hugged both Penie' and his son to him warmly."
Live music from a local band began and waitresses went among the guests, handing out drinks. I was surrounded by my ladies enjoying the happy occasion. Not much later, I had enough to drink and I noticed that all the rest of the girls had quit drinking liquor as well. I asked if someone was watching the boat and was told there was a crewman on board that would be watching it all night as they intended to come to the condo with me later.
Some time around ten, the condo girls and the yacht club manager convinced Lisa and I to play and sing. A man from the band handed his old Strat to Lisa and I sat at the piano. Not knowing what to play, I began a George Shearing, "Lullabye of Birdland" with Lisa playing a backup rhythm guitar. What do you play in Costa Rica? When we were done, Lisa pulled a microphone over to us and winked at me. She began, "Dum dum dum" and I followed with her. The people there had heard "Come go with me" and it was even on the juke box in their bar. Before the song was over, everyone was singing. I begged off saying that I was not prepared to do anything else.
Lisa handed me the guitar and said in the mike, "I'm going to make him do one last piece, but I'm not going to ask him to sing it. I'm pushing the effects pedals for the setup for this great guitar and want you all to listen to its purity. Come on, Chuck, you have a choice, "Summertime" or "Somewhere over the Rainbow." I've heard you do both in mind chilling, spine tingling, intensity, just do one. I'll play along on the piano for back up."
I checked the tuning of the guitar and ran the strings from low to high until the high notes almost hurt the ears. Then I began, it was going to be Summertime. I was standing looking at my fingers as I sustained, drawing out those first very high, very long notes. Then I was into it and just closed my eyes.
Lisa was playing some full chords on the piano, filling in between notes and giving the tune an even more soulful sound. We did the song through three times, changing the approach each time and ended with the notes becoming quieter with each one.
As everyone applauded, Lisa and I bowed and were saying thank you to the band and then to the people. We said goodnight to all of the guests and quietly left the club with all of the ladies. We somehow all fit into the big Lincoln and drove home. I didn't try to back the car up the steep grade into the garage and just drove straight in.
In minutes, we were all upstairs, devoid of our clothing and lying in the big bed. Very shortly we were all hands and mouths, touching, kissing, feeling, and loving. We were having a great time and I was king of the hill. I'm not sure why I was so free or willing to breed with all of the ladies, but I didn't care tonight and wanted to love all of them. The only one I didn't love on was Penie'. She sat on a corner of the bed with a big smile on her face. One of the girls would join with her for a few minutes, but she never initiated anything with me.
I'm glad I had quit drinking earlier as I now needed all of the energy I could get from all of the clams and oysters I had eaten. I was able to seemingly give all of the ladies enough loving to make them happy, along with Tina. She was ravenous and demanding, wanting more and more, along with lots of juices deposited deep within her. The juices didn't stay long as the ladies were all over her getting it back out.
It wasn't long until we wore ourselves out. The girls had enough of each other and I definitely had enough of them. My ego was still twitching, but it was not going to raise its head anymore tonight. As soon as I lay back, smothered with beautiful body parts, I was asleep.
When I woke up Friday morning, I could tell I had been rode hard and put away wet. I wasn't achy, but I did have a hardon that actually hurt, it was so hard. The nice thing though, is that it was buried in Tina, who had her head back and eyes closed as she rode up and down on it. She went through multiple climaxes before she looked down at me, and asked, "Aren't you going to come?"
I smiled and said, "What if I'm expected to treat the others to the same thing? If I get off now, there won't be any for anyone else for a while."
Lisa reached up and tweaked one of Tina's nipples, "You're just a hoggy slut trying to get it all."
Tina fell from me and pinned Lisa down and was soon kissing her, as a beautiful young condo girl fit me into her and began slowly riding me. She smiled down at me and said, "You are so very deep. If I make you cum in me, it will squirt from my nose."
We both laughed at that as she shivered through an orgasm. She moved from me and another climbed on. This continued until only Lisa had not had a turn. She climbed up, and when seated, I turned her over and gave it to her long and hard until she was squealing. I dumped that huge saved up load into her and I swear it came out her nose.
Lisa was well attended to as I got up and was helped to the bathroom. I showered and shaved, then dressed in casual clothes for the day. I know the first half of the wedding was this evening, but didn't know what was going on before then.
I was enjoying a huge glass of fruit juice in the kitchen when there was a knock on the door. The girls opened the door for Ben and Beth. They came in with their housekeeper, Carlotta. The three looked cheerful this morning, so I guessed that Carlotta had probably been taken care of.
Beth gave me a kiss and got hugs from all of the girls there. Ben said, "Beth wouldn't let me get out of the wedding down here, so we made connections and got here this morning. We should have left with you, but I wanted to get in another day at the office."
The girls and Carlotta were all talking until Carlotta came to where I was sitting with Beth and Ben. She said, "You do all the ladies last night, then again this morning. Why you no let me know so I can do too? I need that more than they do, you stingy man."
Beth was laughing and said to Carlotta, "Be patient, we'll take you home right away. You have all those toys we bought you, so you should be okay until we are here."
"But he your friend and can give me that good stuff, the juice. He must be good man if he do all these ladies. He not do Penie' because it her wedding, but he do the others. I want some."
Ben said, "You know, I don't think that I've ever met a nympho before, but this girl is probably as close as I'll ever get."
Beth was grinning, "You just like the way she sucks dick, that's all. She does me real good too. Take her home and bone her good, Ben. I'll be over to have the snack that you leave in a few minutes."
Carlotta pulled Ben up by the hand and led him toward the door.
Tina was giggling at the show. She said, "I can't believe it. That man is always so reserved, such a stuffed shirt, and he's being dragged off by your nympho housekeeper to do what, bone her?" Tina laughed loud and long.
Beth didn't blush, but said haughtily, "And I'm going over there and suck all his juice from her pussy in just a minute. How do you like them apples, Honey?"
Tina really cracked up. She said, "I promise to leave what happens in Costa Rica, in Costa Rica."
Beth grinned and said, "The old man is probably going to be quick, so I better get over there to put Carlotta's fire out."
As she left, Tina and Lisa were hugging each other, almost in tears. Tina said, "Can you believe that? Those two are a riot." Tina looked at me and asked, "Did you know they were like that?"
I just grinned as it was their business, not anyone else's.
After breakfast, the boat girls wanted us to go out on the boat for a while. We all dressed in shorts, T-shirts, and deck shoes, then went to the yacht club in the big Lincoln.
Ben and Beth came roaring up in the 450SL with Carlotta sitting on Ben's lap. They were coming with us.
The two crewmen on the boat disconnected all of the shore couplings and stood by the lines. After getting the boat warmed up and untied, I slowly backed the boat out into the small harbor. We slowly spun around then began motoring out into the Caribbean, on our way to wherever it was the girls wanted to go.
We motored for about an hour in the beautiful morning sun. The girls from the condo and boat were being very attentive to Tina and Lisa while I was enjoying handling the boat with one of the crewmen talking to me about what he had heard of our big sailboat.
As we were approaching a group of islands, one of the boat girls had us slow and go to the northernmost outer island. There was small bay with a large boat dock jutting out into the harbor. There was about a thirty-five foot motor launch tied to one side, and I was directed to dock on the other side. The tide was low, so if the big boat could dock at the island, the channel would be plenty deep enough for even my big sailboat.
Once we were tied up to the dock, I noticed a jeep coming from a forested hill on the island. When it got to the end of the dock where we now were standing, an older woman, in tan shorts and shirt, got out and strode up to us. She smiled sweetly and asked, "Is this the famous 'Chuck' you girls keep telling me about?"
I smiled and stuck out my hand, "Charles or Chuck Johnson, Ma'am."
"Julie Montgomery here," she said in English that had the lilt of another language in her history. "Can you stay a while and could you have tea with me?"
Okay, I thought, British possibly, or at least has taken to some of their terminology.
"Sure, but we are a big group. Will we be too much for you? How about you joining us on board?"
"Nonsense, you have to see the big house anyway." She looked around and said, "How about you and I ride up to the house and I'll send Miguel back with the bus to carry everyone else. Come, you must see the house."
I didn't know exactly what was happening, but I should be okay with this lady. We rode up the hill where I noticed a lot of pine on each side of the rock and shell road. We came to a clearing near the top of the hill and a beautiful, large, frame home surprised me. It was typical of the islands with a porch surrounding the entire outside of the house with deck chairs, loungers, and tables scattered in groupings everywhere.
Julie said to me, "My husband, John, bless his soul, built this in 1970 for his retirement. I'm not sure of all of the details, but he supposedly won title to the island by winning at cards. The man was uncannily lucky when he gambled. We moved here permanently in '78 and have enjoyed this wonderful place every since."
"When John passed in '97, I still felt I would live here forever, but these last few years, I've wanted to travel back to London to see my children and grandchildren more often. I think it's time for me to move back to England and be with my family."
Julie was walking me completely around the house. She had paused to holler at a man working near one of gardens and had him go for the others. She hollered again, calling a lady's name and a woman came to the porch. She said, "Mina, please prepare for a large group, more than twelve. We will have tea on the back porch."
There were some buildings in two groups on one side down the hill. Julie gestured toward them and said, "The group of buildings on the right house the generator and electrical room, one of them is the desalination plant, and the third is our tool shed. We have a tractor, as well as a great array of tools.
"The buildings on the left are the homes of the people who live here and help me keep the island special. A couple of them were born here and have lived here all their lives. I think a couple may be close to needing to retire and just enjoy their lives. I'm planning on providing for them during that time."
Julie walked me toward the house and said, "The house is really too big for most families, but it was what my John had wanted so that is what he built. We have the protected dock you came to and another dock at the base of this hill where the fuel barge comes to unload fuel and where heavy supplies are unloaded. There are three medium sized boats down there for the people here to use as well."
We walked into the house. The hardwood floors with scattered hand woven rugs were beautifully polished. Leading from the main entrance was a curving stairway that led to the upstairs. I could see hallways going in either direction from the balcony area at the top of the stairs. We walked past a huge dining room, into a very comfortable living room filled with wicker furniture, and a few heavy pieces such as a couch and a big chair.
Julie said, "John designed the house to take advantage of the ocean breezes so we wouldn't miss air conditioning. Even the kitchen is airy and cool on the hottest days. John was a genius at design."
We walked into the large kitchen, where the lady, Julie had talked to, was happily preparing food. The lady looked up at me and smiled. She looked at Julie questioningly and Julie nodded, "Mr. Johnson, all of Limon think you must be an angel to have saved them from that terrible person who was there. It is good that you decided to remain in the area, or to at least be a part of the town. We are going to the wedding tonight and tomorrow. It is so exciting."
Julie smiled, "You are a famous person in these parts. Even the island people know of your adventures. That brings me to what you and I can do for each other."
Julie poured two glasses of what appeared to be iced tea and handed me one, then walked out to the porch near the kitchen. There were several tables with chairs in this area, so it must be where a lot of meals were eaten.
She indicated for me to take a chair and she sat with me. She smiled and said, "Chuck Johnson, I want to give you this island and all that is here."
My chin must have bounced off the table, as she grinned even bigger. "There are some strings attached, but I think you can handle them."
As I caught my breath, I sat up straight and listened. After we both had a sip of our tea, Julie continued, "I am financially very well off and could never spend the money I have now. John provided very well for our two children, so I don't need money for them. Like I said, I want to go back to London and spend time with my children. That's the easy part."
Julie moved around in her chair, "The more difficult part is how to take care of the island, the house, and those that live and work here. They are my family too, and I feel obligated to continue their maintenance. If you were to accept my offer, you would sign a contract to care for the island, the buildings, and most importantly, the people here, forever. Forever is a long time, but I'm sure there will be a time when you may do as I'm doing right now."
"Another stipulation would be to offer your hospitality to me and my children and grandchildren when they want to visit. I will come often, especially in the cold British winter, but the kids may only come for short vacations once a year. The house is big enough you will hardly know they are here. They are all a lot of fun and I'm sure you will enjoy them when you do get to meet them."
I had to know, "Why are you offering this to me?"
"That is easier than you think, Chuck. Since you saved the yacht club, which by the way was started and built by my husband, and you also saved all of Limon, I've spent a lot of time finding out about you. You are a very wealthy man, but you don't act it. You are so much like my husband, except that you have chosen law enforcement as your line of work. You surround yourself with wonderful people and treat those around you very well. The way you treat the ladies of the boat and those lovelies that live in the condo you purchased, makes me know you are the one to maintain this place."
Julie smiled, "Tell me, Chuck, do you think you might even consider moving down here and living?"
"I don't know, Julie, this is very sudden, and what you are offering for the little you expect of me is astonishing. I am going to be starting a family as you will know when you meet my family from the states. This would be a wonderful place to raise kids, but where I live now is also a wonderful place to raise children. I have to be honest and tell you, that at first I will only use this wonderful retreat as a place to visit and to recharge my batteries. I somehow know that will work very well."
After taking a big gulp of my tea, "As far as making sure your island and home are kept up, that is easy. I don't think I can take your place as the person in charge of the island, but I think you have good people who are self-sufficient already. It would be my pleasure to sustain them and their families as long as they desire."
We heard people coming up the stairs and paused our conversation for them to come to us. When all of the contingent were standing in front of us, I stood and introduced the local girls first, then Tina and Lisa, and finally Ben and Beth. The girls took chairs, but some went into the kitchen and began bringing glasses of tea and juice out to the others.
Miguel came to the table where Julie and I were and stood behind her with his hat in his hands. Julie said, "Miguel, meet Chuck Johnson. You know of him from the conversations you and I have had."
I stuck out my hand and Miguel smiled broadly and shook my hand. He asked, "Will you be taking care of us now, Mr. Johnson?"
"The name is Chuck, and if Julie feels good about us, yes. I'm looking forward to living and working with you for a long time."
That must have been the right thing to say, as he became excited. He excused himself and rushed into the kitchen. You could here him calling, "Mina, Mina," then excitedly talking to her in Spanish."
Tina looked at me and raised an eyebrow, while Lisa's mouth dropped open. They both understood Spanish very well.
The ladies from the condo and boat jumped from their seats and surrounded me at the table. They were all trying to hug me at once. One of the condo ladies asked, "Will it be alright if we all spend time here? This will be a wonderful place to come to be away from the city."
I looked at Julie and told her, "I think you and I need to formalize whatever agreement you might want. And Julie, if there is an amount that would be fair, I'm sure I can give that to you as well." I indicated Ben and said, "I even have the man who handles most of my finances with me."
Julie cocked her head and said, "Not money, but you might be able to give me more. We'll see."
I excused myself and went in hunt of a restroom. When I returned, Julie had Ben, Beth, Lisa, and Tina in a trance as she explained what was happening. All were sitting there in disbelief, as I had been earlier. Tina sat up and said, "You know what? I could become the island doctor for this area. I'll bet they don't have a doctor for island house calls down here. I'll be ready in about four years."
Lisa said, "You could have a huge nursing staff with the girls from the condo and boat. They are planning on going to college, might as well be nursing."
Tina was nodding her head in agreement, as the girls at the other table were nodding, also in agreement. Julie said to me, "See, you may want to come here sooner than you thought."
Lisa said, "He has other problems before he comes here. Actually five special problems, and one or two others."
"What could they be?" asked Julie.
"Chuck has five women that have been with him for a long time now. Three are going to bear him his first four children. Then he has two sisters that want to be his women as well. You see, Chuck comes with a lot of baggage."
Julie laughed and said, "My John would have loved having a harem the way you do. I used to find him a toy every once in a while, but I didn't keep them for fear I would lose my man. I probably shouldn't have worried as my John loved me to the day he passed."
Julie was morose for a second, then smiled brightly. "This is a wonderful day. So tell me, what are your plans after the wedding?"
"Julie, we are going to fly back to Florida Sunday night, then on Wednesday morning, almost all of my entire family are sailing to Europe. We are going to Ireland first, visiting London, and possibly Paris. After that we aren't sure, but I think we're sailing to Italy to sightsee for a week then back to the Riviera for a week of fun there. If we're ready, we'll sail back home."
Tina said, "Tell her how many are going."
"We are going to sail with my good friend, Steve Sharp, and his ladies and children, as well as our friend Dewey from Seattle and his family. There will be some moms and dads, as well as friends, who will sail with us and some will join us in Ireland and return from the Riviera."
Julie exclaimed, "Oh my, that must be a very large sailing vessel. Is it really a true sailboat?"
I told her, "It's a hundred and seventy-five feet and is plenty big enough to handle all the people that are coming."
"You were lucky to have been able to hire a boat that large," Julie said, with a dreamy look in her eyes.
Lisa said to Julie, "He didn't hire it, the boat is Chuck's. He also is the captain. We'll have several captains among the crew, but Chuck is the captain of his boat."
Julie asked, almost quietly, "Do you have enough room for a stowaway?"
I said to her, "We do, Julie, but remember that the trip will be over two weeks and will be cooler as we go north."
"That would be fine. I would really enjoy going with you, can I really?"
"Oh course, you can spend a little time packing for the trip, keeping in mind we'll spend a week in the UK, then a week in Italy, before playing a week in the Riviera. Get your clothes together and we'll come out on our boat to get you Sunday afternoon. You can fly back to Tampa with us and stay at my home until we sail Wednesday."
Julie acted as if she were out of breath, "Oh my goodness, this is so exciting. I love to sail. John used to have a sailboat when we lived in London. It wasn't very large, but we loved to stay on it over weekends and once we sailed to the Mediterranean, all up and down the northern coast. I do want to go with you. Thank you for considering it."
Tina asked Julie, "Would you mind if Lisa and I took a lot of pictures of the island, the house, the buildings, and the people who live and work here?"
Julie smiled and said, "That would be great. The people will love that you are interested in them. They all speak English and will be happy to show you around. Find Miguel, he's probably still helping Mina, he will show you around."
The two girls got up to find Miguel. The other nine women followed them to also see the property.
Julie reached across the table and held my hand. With watery eyes, she said, "You are giving me back my youth. I was so much younger than John, but he was a very virile man that enjoyed me to his fullest. We were a very complete couple. He sired our two children early in our marriage and we raised them easily with John's ability to make money. You and John would have been great friends. I'm so happy I met your ladies and found out so much about you. I didn't know what to do, and selling the island is such a cold thing to do. This is perfect. You and I will take care of those that need to be taken care of and keep this wonderful place as beautiful as it is."
"How about hurricanes in this area?"
"For some reason, we don't get a lot of storms through here. Because of our proximity to the Equator, we seem to be bypassed. Some storms hit the Pacific side and some of the residual come through here, but the Atlantic storms seem to stay north of us."
Julie smiled, "But don't fear, John constructed this home with storm shutters and a roof that will never blow off. The metal roof sheds water into several cisterns. We have a supply of rain water most of the year, plus we have two deep wells that give us irrigation water. The well water is a little salty, but perfect for our gardens. Do you know we grow all of our own vegetables and that we even have a few animals for our meat? We have some beef stock, a couple of sheep, several hogs, a few goats, and lots of chickens. We can't grow enough grain and hay for the stock, so we do ship that in, but we are very self-sufficient otherwise."
I smiled and said, "Now all we need is a long flat area where I could land an airplane."
"John wanted to do that," Julie said, "He said that the relatively flat area from end to end on the south side of the island would be perfect for a runway. It is a little over two miles long. You'll have to get Miguel to show you."
This was a real red letter day in my life. After the harrowing weeks I had just been through, and the tap on the head, I might be very willing to leave all that mess and spend some time on an island.
Julie said, "One last thing. I will be coming here as I've said and I would enjoy staying in the rooms I have lived in for so many years. Could you allow me that?"
"Of course, and if another larger room is needed, I'm sure I can have it constructed. We will keep your area intact for you and make sure Mina keeps it clean and ready for your arrival."
Julie exclaimed, "This is a wonderful day. I've met a new friend, actually a lot of new friends and have resolved the island better than I would have ever imagined." As she said this she came around the table and I stood as she had gotten up. Julie wrapped her arms around me and hugged me, laying her head on my chest. I automatically wrapped my arms around her, holding her snuggly. Julie raised her head with a smile and kissed me gently on the lips. Grinning, she said, "I could get used to that."
