My Neighbour And Her Daughter (5) free porn video

A week had passed since Tony’s special night with Shannon and the change had been remarkable. She had a real spring to her step, her face was constantly lit with a smile, and her whole attitude to life appeared to have undergone a significant and positive transition. Shannon had told Cyn and her sisters about their night, though he wasn’t sure how much detail she had provided. They had laughingly expressed their jealousy when they heard what Karl and Tony had arranged to ensure it was a night she would never forget, and he was thankful they weren’t serious as it would have been a challenge to top that effort. Tiff had been happy Shannon had enjoyed a wonderful evening, but didn’t display quite the same level of enthusiasm as her mother and older sibling, which was perhaps understandable seeing she was the only one he hadn’t slept with!

It was late the following Saturday morning and Tony was sitting in the study doing some discreet planning for Cyn’s birthday when Shannon came in. “Hey Tony.” She greeted him happily. “Ummm….can I talk to you or are you busy? I could come back later if you’re in the middle of something.”

He slid the chair back from the desk and enjoyed a long stretch, rolling his shoulders to sooth muscles that had spent a little too long hunched over a keyboard, and smiled as she waited in the doorway. “I always have time for you princess, come on in.” She came in and sat down. “So what would you like to talk about?”

“I wanted to talk about last weekend, and…where things go from there?” Tony had wondered if this would come up and Cyn had also asked how he would handle it, which was easy to answer as he had no idea. “I really, really want to thank you because that was the most amazing night of my life. But…. I’m not sure….if I want to….be with you….like that again?”

She was looking at him nervously, as though trying to gauge his reaction from his facial expression. “If you’re worried that I’ll be upset, then please don’t be.” He assured her. “In fact, I’m honestly relieved to hear you say that.”

That brought a quizzical gaze and then a less-nervous smile to her pretty face. “Really?” She asked. “That’s not the reaction I expected, so can I ask why you feel that way?”

“How about you tell me how you reached your decision first, and then I’ll tell you why I’m relieved.”

“Ok.” She responded. “I honestly don’t want you to think that I didn’t enjoy myself, because I really, REALLY did! It was such a perfect night, and the way you made love to me was……well, I don’t think I can describe it. I know you did it because you and Mom were worried about me, and I was worried too. After what happened with Dad I was convinced I couldn’t feel like that, but everything you said was true and I just needed to be with the right person. But, now that I’m feeling ok, I think I’d like to wait until I meet someone, because now I know I can enjoy making love with them.”

Tony was smiling broadly, and could see this was a long way from the reaction she expected. “That’s great Shannon, really great!” He replied with genuine enthusiasm. “The reason I’m relieved is that I was worried about whether you would want to be with me with again, so I guess you’d like to know why?” His question elicited an emphatic nod. “I think you know I genuinely care for you, but my relationship with you and Tiff is different from my relationship with Cyn and Kat.” Another nod. “The night we had was simply fantastic and I’ll never forget it either, but to be honest there are times when I have my hands full with your Mom and your sister. I was worried that if you wanted to be with me again, it could be difficult to care for you and love you the way I’d like to if that makes sense. I’m ecstatic that you feel better about yourself and I think your decision is the right one for you. Just remember that I’m probably going to be a little protective of my princess when she brings a boy home.”

She laughed at his expression of fatherly concern. “I hope you won’t be too protective, remember I have seen you in action. Seriously though, I can’t thank you enough, you told me I was ok but I still had my doubts until you showed me. I understand now that I can say yes, or no, and if my decision isn’t respected I’ll kick him in the balls!”

They both laughed heartily, remembering his poor sense of timing when he last spoke those words just as Chloe arrived with dinner. “I’m never going to live that down am I?”

She smiled. “Probably not, but I still think Chloe has a thing for you.”

“Haven’t I just finished telling you I’ve got my hands full?” He chuckled in reply.

“Yeah, I get that. Can I ask what you’re working on?” She enquired.

“I’m planning something special for Cyn’s birthday, something that I hope all of us will really enjoy.” He replied.

“That’s going to have to be something incredible Tony.” She replied. “After our birthday party and Kat’s pendant you’re making things pretty tough for yourself. And then there was last weekend as well!”

“That’s true.” He agreed. “But it’s also half the fun. I like the challenge of trying to come up with something different. At least I do when it works.” He laughed, thinking about the pressure he had placed himself under at times. “I tell you what. There are a couple of things we need to do now if my plan is going to work, so would you mind finding Cyn and your sisters, and I’ll meet you in the den in a couple of minutes?”

“Sure thing….Dad!” She said with a cheeky grin, and headed out the door.

While Shannon was getting everyone together Tony printed off some documents, then picked up his laptop and headed for the den. The girls were waiting expectantly when he walked in so he sat down and started outlining his plans. “We all know its Cyn’s birthday in a couple of months, and after recent birthdays and my special night with Shannon I have been under intense pressure from a certain person to come up with a birthday surprise that tops my efforts so far.” He smiled at Cyn, who grinned happily back. “After some solid research I think I may have a solution, and while I would have liked this to be a secret that’s not really possible. So, if this is going to succeed we all have some homework to do.”

Curious looks were exchanged, the majority aimed at Tony, so he handed out the forms he had just printed and they studied them closely. It was Tiff who made the connection first, but only just. “These are passport applications. Oh my God, we’re going overseas! Where are we going Tony?”

He smiled as excitement rippled through the room, and opened the laptop and spun it around to show a picture of a pristine beach with palm trees and sparking blue water that was so clear you could see the sandy bottom. “We are going to…AUSTRALIA!” He announced. Well, you’d think he’d just produced the winning lottery ticket as squeals of excitement filled the room and questions were fired faster than he could answer them. In the finish he held up his hand in an attempt to quiet things down. “One at a time ladies please! I think the birthday girl should go first.”

Cyn was smiling widely. “This looks fabulous Tony, but why did you pick Australia?”

“Lots of reasons honey.” Tony replied, and started ticking them off on his fingers. “It’s one of the few places Julie and I didn’t get to and I’ve always wanted to go. The people have a reputation for being really friendly and laid-back, plus they speak English so communication is easy. It’s a safe place to go when some countries are a little risky these days, and they have so many amazing places to visit and things to see. This picture is where we’ll actually stay, and it’s a very private resort called Bedarra Island. It’s on the Great Barrier Reef which is the largest coral reef in the world, and there are only sixteen villas on the island. You can snorkel over the reef and see the coral and the fish, and I’ve heard it’s an experience you’ll never forget.”

Kat had taken control of the computer and was clicking through the resort website with Shannon and Tiff looking over her shoulder. “Look at the scenery, and the rooms, talk about luxurious! But…this may be a problem…..it says the resort doesn’t cater for c***dren, and the three of us aren’t eighteen yet.”

Tony smiled; impressed that she’d already picked up that detail. “I’ve spoken to the manager and assured him my step-daughters are very mature. He still wasn’t sure, so I offered to put a substantial security deposit in their account and if anyone misbehaves they get to keep it, so you’d better behave or your allowance will be so far in the red it’ll take years to pay it back.” He laughed at their bemused expressions, knowing they wouldn’t have a problem.

Shannon joined in. “You mentioned other places to see Tony. Do you have anything else in mind while we’re there?”

“You bet!” He assured her. “We fly into Brisbane which is the capital city of Queensland. From there we go to Surfers Paradise, and you can guess how good the beaches are with a name like that. There are four theme parks close by; Sea World where they have rides and dolphin shows, Wet and Wild where they have all kinds of water slides, Movie World which is like Universal Studios in LA, and Dreamworld, which seems to have a bit of everything. I thought if you all want to we could spend a week in Surfers Paradise, and maybe go to two or three of the theme parks. Say one day at a park and then have a free day, then another park and the next day off, that kind of schedule so we’re not rushing around like crazy. After that we fly to the reef and spend the second week at the resort just chilling out, snorkeling, and getting fat on seafood. How does that sound?”

Everyone was smiling and Tiff looked at him with sparking eyes. “That sounds so cool, Tony. We’ve never been overseas before!”

“I know Tiff. Which is why I had to let the cat out of the bag because it will take a while to get passports and visas organized, and you’ll all need current photos for your passports so I’m sorry Cyn, I couldn’t really keep this a secret.”

She came over and hugged him so hard it felt as though she was crushing him. “I think I can forgive you for that. This is going to be so great for all us; it’s been so long since we’ve had a decent vacation anywhere!”

“I guessed that would be the case.” He replied. “And I haven’t been on holiday for over two years so I’m looking forward to this as much as you are.”

It was great to see Cyn and her girls so excited, and the twins had grabbed their laptops and all three were Googling Surfers Paradise and The Great Barrier Reef, checking out the different tourist attractions. He was sure his plan of alternating day-trips and rest would come under some serious pressure. Cyn and Tony left them to it and headed for the kitchen, and she reminded the twins they had another sleep-over party that night so they needed to keep an eye on the time. She brewed a fresh pot of coffee and smiled at him across the table. “You must have a bottomless bag of surprises which is one the things I love about you. How do you manage to keep doing things like this?”

“I can’t take the credit for that, it was Julie who taught me.” She raised a questioning eyebrow, so he explained. “She was such a free-spirit and always came up with ways to surprise me. Sometimes I’d get home Friday night after a tough week, and she’d give me an hour to shower and pack a bag and we’d drive off somewhere and have a weekend away. Other times she’d ring and tell me she had to work late, and I’d get to home to find she’d actually left early and cooked me a special dinner. I never knew what was coming, but when I realized how much I enjoyed her surprises I started doing the same things for her. I guess that’s why they’re such special memories because they were completely unexpected, but it was her influence that took me there. I think sometimes we lose sight of the simple pleasures. The look on Shannon’s face when she got out of the limo and saw what Karl had done for her special dinner; that’s a priceless memory that I’ll have forever. And I think you’ll collect one or two of those while we’re on holiday, at least I hope you will.”

She placed her hand over his. “I’m sure I will. You still miss her don’t you?”

He looked into her eyes. “There will always be a part of me that misses her and I’ll never stop loving her, and that’s the simple truth. She was my first true love, and the only woman I’d made love to before you and Kat came into my life. But I know the way I was living would have broken her heart and it was the last thing she would have wanted, but I didn’t realize that until I fell in love with you two. I’m not a religious person, but if there is an afterlife I think she’s watching over me and she’d be happy to see that I was finally getting on with my life, though I’m not sure what she’d make of our unconventional relationship.”

She gazed into his eyes. “I didn’t really know Julie all that well, but I’m sure she would see how happy you are and I think she’d be fine with it.”

Tony figured she was right but they were interrupted when the girls came in, excitedly talking over each other as they attempted to take charge of the discussion. Each had their own ideas about the holiday, and the volume was increasing until he held up my hand and whistled loudly for silence. When things were quieter he smiled at their expectant faces. “We’re going around in circles here ladies. I understand you’re excited and there are plenty of things you probably want to do, but let’s just remember this is a family holiday, and there’s plenty of time to research what we’d all like to do. Rather than try to lock this down today I suggest we take our time and make sure we look at all the options, and perhaps the fairest way is for each of us to pick one activity on the mainland, and another when we’re staying on the island. That way everyone gets a choice, and we’re not rushing around to the point that we need another holiday to recover from this one. We can always go back again later if we don’t get to do everything we want on this trip, ok?”

That seemed to have the desired outcome and the girls happily headed away until Cyn reminded Tiff and Shannon they should be getting ready to go. With a little reluctance they headed off to pack a few things for their sleepover, and when Cyn bundled them into the car a sense of calm was finally restored. Tony figured he had half an hour or so before she returned and headed to the garage for a work out. He went through a series of stretches before working on the punching bag, gradually increasing the speed and force of his blows.

He sensed movement and saw Kat standing in the doorway, a glass of soda in her hand as she watched. “Mind if I watch?” She asked. He smiled and nodded so she came in and sat on the workbench as he resumed his workout. She watched for a few minutes before giving him one of her sexiest smiles. “You’re working up a sweat Tony. Wouldn’t you be more comfortable if you took your shirt off?” She said sweetly.

Tony was starting to wonder how much time he’d have before other distractions occupied him, indulging her by sliding his shirt over his head before he got back to it. She watched his movements and there was little doubt lustful thoughts were occupying her imagination as she sipped her drink. A part of his mind marveled at what a sexual creature she had become and how lucky he was to have her in his life. He could feel his cock growing slowly, the first bead of pre cum allowing the head to slide up his body under his shorts. His interest in exercise waned and he walked over to the bench and took her smiling face in his hands. Their lips met and parted, tongues touching in a moist embrace as their passion slowly grew. Without opening her eyes she placed her glass on the bench and looped her arms around his neck as her legs opened, drawing him closer.

When they paused for breath she gently pushed him back, standing as she slid her sun dress up and over her head. She was naked in seconds, thankfully having neglected to wear panties or a bra, and knelt before him as she eased his shorts down until he could step free. A slender hand wrapped around his shaft, sliding up his shaft and squeezing a large drop of pre cum from his slit before her lips wrapped around his cock. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation of her tongue moving around his glans, bathing him with saliva before she slid slowly forward, taking more of him into her warm mouth. Her other hand found his heavy balls, massaging them slowly as her mouth slid further down his length. He couldn’t count the number of times she had made sweet love to him with her mouth, but every time his cock slid into her throat the exquisite feeling made it seem like the first. She took him deeply, allowing her throat to stretch for a few seconds before she tried to swallow his shaft which only enhanced the erotic sensations he was already experiencing. She moved slowly but purposefully, as through savoring every moment as she controlled his increasing excitement.

Finally she slid free, standing before him as she took his hand and led him over to the car. She bent forward over the hood and spread her legs wide apart, her pussy glistening with her slowly flowing juices. She looked back over her shoulder and gave him a lascivious smile. “Why don’t you stop wasting time and slip that angry cock into my pussy, and while you’re fucking me you can get my ass nice and wet.”

Tony returned her wanton smile. “So babe, you want my big hard cock deep in your ass, do you?”

“Yes.” She hissed. “Yes…PLEASE!”

He slid his cock easily into her steaming pussy, feeling the warmth of her loving body wrapping around his flesh as his heavy balls flattened her slick labia. Thrusting slowly he slid a finger into his mouth before working it easily past her clenching sphincter. “Are you sure you want my cock in here? It feels really tight!” He teased.

She groaned. “Oh Yes, I want it so bad. I need to feel your cock deep inside my ass, pumping me full of hot cum.”

“You’re not worried I’m going to stretch your tight little ass too far?” He teased again.

“Jesus, you can be a bastard sometimes! You fucking know I want you to stretch it. Stop teasing me and fuck my hot little ass…PLEASE!!!”

It was impossible to deny a lady in need, so he slowly slid his cock free and lined up the head with her glistening rosebud. He pushed in firmly and slipped passed her gripping muscle, feeling a hand on his shoulder and the breath from a pair of lips against his ear.

“Why is it every time I go out I come back and find you fucking my daughter?” Cyn whispered.

Tony laughed in surprise as they hadn’t heard her sneak in. “That’s probably because I find both of you totally irresistible. And she was here….and you weren’t.”

“I’ll have to teach Tiff and Shannon to drive.” She laughed. “I’m getting tired of missing out.”

Cyn’s hand moved away and she stood in front of him, smiling as she slowly stripped off and dropped each article of clothing on floor in a totally carefree manner. In the meantime his cock was sliding deeper, both watching Kat as she lay across the car with her eyes closed and a dreamy smile on her face. “Oh fuck.” She groaned. “I need this so bad. My ass feels like it’s on fire!”

Cyn softly stroked her pussy as she watched Tony take her daughter. “I love watching you two fuck.” She hissed. “The only thing I like more is being fucked myself. I hope you’ve got plenty of cum in those tight balls Tony. When you’ve finished pumping a load into Kat’s hot ass, I’d love you to fuck mine!”

Tony smiled as he thrust faster. “Provided you give me a little time to recover I think I can take care of you honey.” He assured her, just as Kat squealed loudly and pumped a strong stream of sweet cream over his balls and down his thighs.

“Oh YES.” Kat breathed heavily as she came again. “That’s it, that’s what I need. Fuck me Tony, fuck my hot ass! I want to feel your cum oozing out of me all day!” Her juices tricked down his legs and he inhaled deeply, savoring the intoxicating smell of blissful sex as it wafted through the garage.

His balls were tightening and he knew he was getting close, feeling that once he started cumming he’d never stop. “You’re…about…to get…your wish…Kat!” Tony groaned, and thrust in firmly as the first rope of cum fired through his shaft in satisfying release. She came with him, spraying her juices as his filled her, his balls pumping burst after burst deep inside her clenching ass.

“Fuck..fuck…FUCK!” She screamed in delight. “Yes…that’s it…fill my ass with cum! I can feel it…I love it…pump me hard Tony!!”

He finally collapsed down on her back, both breathing deeply as they struggled to regain control. In the meantime Cyn was leaning back against the wall, squealing and whimpering as her fingers thrust firmly into her glistening pussy. “Oh fuck…Oh shit…I’m going to need some cock soon!!!” She groaned as she bathed her hand and thighs with juice, her body shaking as she came.

Tony’s cock slowly softened until it finally slid free, its exit aided by the amount of slippery cum he’d deposited into his lover’s tight passage. He sat back on the bare floor, a little unsure if his legs would support him as his pounding heart rate gradually slowed. Cyn was slumped against the wall, eyes closed as her fingers lazily slowly stroked her creamy, cum-coated pussy. Kat hadn’t moved and was still spread across the hood of the car, her sphincter still gaping as a trail of viscous cum oozed down her crack toward her slick pussy. The raw smell of sex, mixed with sweet tang of multiple orgasms hung heavily in the air.

When Tony was sure he could stand he moved over to Kat and kissed her softly on the cheek. “Thank you.” He whispered softly. “You are the most amazing lover a man could ask for.”

Her eyes blinked open and she gave him a dreamy smile. “I think I should be thanking you. You did all the work.”

He smiled and walked unsteadily over to Cyn, taking hold of her wrist before bringing her slick fingers to his mouth. He licked and kissed her still-warm juices and she smiled in appreciation before wrapping her other hand around his cum-covered shaft. “Don’t make me wait too long Tony.” She smiled. “You know where I want this as soon as you’re ready.”

“How about a swim and something to drink while I….recharge the batteries?” Tony suggested hopefully, knowing he needed a little time before he could attempt another blissful fuck. When they went outside Tony dove in first, feeling instantly refreshed as the cool water flowed over his body. Kat was close behind, swimming slowly over before her arms and legs wrapped around him.

She kissed him slowly and tenderly, before leaning back with her arms around his neck. “I still smile when I think of how you were worried that I would want to be with someone my age.”

He smiled as he remembered that moment of concern. “Well, I am old enough to be your father!” He chuckled.

She laughed back. “That depends on how you look at it. I think you’re just old enough to know exactly how to make me happy.”

He kissed her again. “I’m glad you feel that way, because being with you always brings a smile to my face.”

Always the considerate mother, Cyn arrived with a tray of drinks and snacks which she placed beside the pool before diving into the cool water and swimming over. “Are you two plotting again?” She smiled.

“Not at all Mom.” Kat replied. “I was just asking Tony whose pussy tastes the sweetest, yours…or mine.” She laughed.

Cyn raised an eyebrow at Tony as she smiled at her daughter’s leading question. “So, whose does taste sweetest Tony?”

He smelled a setup and decided to play along, rubbing his chin and trying to appear thoughtful. “It’s hard to say babe. I mean…they’re definitely both very sweet, but I think I’d have to conduct a taste test before I could answer that one.”

Cyn swam over and sat on the edge of the pool, her spread legs hanging over the side and into the water. She smiled sexily and stroked her exposed slit slowly. “Come on then, if you want to taste the best pussy in town you’d better get started.”

Tony grinned as he swam over, easing between her long, slender legs. He buried his face in her fresh pussy, exploring her with his tongue as he tasted the beginnings of her gentle flow. She purred like a kitten as she savored his skilful attention, gently resting her hands on his head as she spread even wider for him. Her flow increased until her juices were smeared across his face so he probed deeper, feeling her heat increase as he gently brought her closer to climax. Suddenly she went rigid and pulled his head firmly against her, his cheeks flattening her puffy labia as she came. Her juices pumped firmly and he tried to scoop every drop of her sweet nectar into his mouth. “Oh God.” She groaned softly. “I just love the way you eat my cunt! How did that taste babe?”

He smiled up at her. “As sweet as honey, honey!”

In the meantime Tony had lost sight of Kat, but suddenly she was sitting beside Cyn on the capping with a tantalizing smile on her face. He moved back from Cyn and over to Kat, who was waiting with her legs spread for him. Just as he was about to start the second comparison she told him to wait a second, reached behind and produced a can of whipped cream! She gave the can a few quick shakes and aimed then nozzle directly at her pussy, spraying a liberal coating over her glistening labia. “No fair.” Cyn protested loudly, trying to conceal her amusement. “No fucking fair! That’s cheating and you should be disqualified!” She laughed loudly.

Kat gave Cyn a broad smile. “I think we should leave that decision to the judge Mom.” She laughed.

Tony’s cock was stiffening despite the cool water. “I’ll reserve my decision until after I’ve completed the taste test!” He replied, which earned him a none-too-serious glare from Cyn.

The heat radiating from the sun was already melting the cream, and his pointed tongue tasted the delights of his teenage lover. She certainly tasted sweet, her juices just mingling with the dripping cream as his tongue slid deep inside her moist pussy. His cock was now completely hard, his mind loving every second of the erotic stimulation as he savored her unusual taste. He devoured her sweet juices with enthusiasm, sliding his pointed tongue as deep as it would go and smearing the melting cream over his face as he tongue-fucked her tender cunt. She shuddered as her cum sprayed freely, giving him yet another taste to savor, and he took her through several trembling orgasms until there was no choice but to declare Kat as the winner.

Cyn protested though not too seriously, shaking her head at her daughter’s unexpected tactic. Tony dipped his face in the cool water to rinse away the cream and pussy juice before stepping from the pool. He went over to Cyn and kissed her lips softly, before whispering that he wanted her on her hands and knees so that he could give her the runner-up prize. She smiled as she assumed the position and he knelt behind her, sliding his hard cock easily into her moist pussy. “Oh fuck yes.” She hissed. “God, I love feeling your thick cock sliding into my cunt!”

She was hot, wet and ready and he fucked her slowly with deep strokes, feeling her juices bathing him and easing his path as her perfect pussy stretched. As he had with Kat earlier, he sucked a finger deep in his mouth before sliding it around her tight rosebud and then slipping it past her clenching ring of muscle. She threw her head back as she felt his finger probe her tight, puckered ass. “Get me wet Tony. Get me wet and then slide your cock in there!”

“You girls are insatiable.” I laughed. “It must be anal sex day today.”

Kat came over and knelt before Cyn, lifting her head before engaging her in a long, passionate kiss. Tony’s cock twitched as he watched their erotic embrace, sliding back from her slick pussy before nudging his thick glans against her glistening sphincter. He pushed forward, easing the head past her tight muscle until he was safely inside her surprisingly moist ass. She groaned into Kat’s mouth, the sound seeming to echo between them as Kat reached down and started squeezing and twisting Cyn’s firm extended nipples. Her hips thrust upward forcing his cock deeper into her hot, tight hole and he thrust with her, pushing further until his balls finally nudged against her slippery labia. Kat broke their kiss and smiled at him. “Give it to her Tony.” She encouraged me. “Fuck her hard and fill her dirty little ass with cum!”

He hardly needed additional motivation and increased his thrusting as Cyn timed her movements with his, making sure every thrust took him as deep as possible. They were sweating freely in the warm sunlight, a slapping sound filling the air every time she took his full length. “Oh yes….FUCK YES!” She shouted as an orgasm rippled through her slim body, and she shook beneath him as her juices sprayed from her pussy. “Fuck my cock-sucking ass Tony! Fuck me hard!”

Tony was moving as fast as his position allowed, feeling the tension building in his balls and spreading through his body as his climax approached. She came again, bathing his balls and thighs with her fragrant juices as her heat increased. “So tight!” He groaned. “So….FUCKING….TIGHT!!! Here it comes babe!!!” He shouted, as his cum flew and saturated her clenching passage.

Every fiber of his being felt his primal release, still rocking slowly as his cock twitched and pulsed with every stream of thick jizz surrounding his shaft in a soothing balm of cum as he filled her to capacity. She squealed, a long shriek that continued until she sobbed for breath. “Fuck it. Fuck my hot ass and give me all of it! I want every last drop!!!” She pleaded and Tony did his best to comply, pumping cum until he had no more to give her.

He finally had to stop, beads of perspiration running from his forehead and dripping down onto her butt cheeks. He could still feel her clenching and releasing around his now thoroughly spent shaft as though she were trying to milk the final drops before his softening cock slid free. He sat back on the capping, mesmerized by the sight of Cyn still on her hands and knees, her sphincter gaping open as his oozing cum slowly dribbled from her freshly fucked ass. She was a picture of pure, hedonistic indulgence, and once again he was thankful she and Kat were such intrinsic parts of his life. He simply couldn’t imagine not being with them for a day, especially when they were prepared to give themselves so freely. At that moment Tony felt he was the luckiest man on the planet.

He moved over to her and managed to pick her up in his arms, carrying her down the steps into the pool and immersing them both in the cool water. She slid her arms around his neck and kissed him, managing a smile as her eyes blinked open. “Did I hear the water sizzle when it touched my skin? My God, I feel like I’m on fire.” She whispered. “I love the way you fuck me, as somehow you always know when I want it slow and gentle, or hard and fast, it’s just…magical!”

“The feeling is mutual babe.” Tony assured her. “Every time is fantastic. Every…single…time! I can’t get over how good it feels making love to you.”

Kat dove in and joined them, the three of them enjoying a group hug and kisses as they rinsed clean before climbing out and allowing the sun’s rays to slowly dry their ski

The weeks flew by and before they knew it their departure date arrived, everyone excitedly loading their bags in the taxi before they headed for the regional airport. A commuter flight took them to LAX and Cyn and the girls were amazed when they saw the size of the terminal for the first time, and the thousands of people moving to catch their flights, saying goodbyes to loved ones or waiting expectantly for friends and relatives to arrive. They checked their bags and took their boarding passes, joining the queues moving steadily through the security checks before boarding the flight.

As it was a fifteen hour flight Tony had suggested they dress in comfortable clothes and make sure they had their iPods and a book to pass the time. He had booked Business Class tickets despite the significant extra expense, knowing a long flight in economy was not going to get their vacation off to the desired start. Cyn, Kat and Tony were seated together in the centre section with Tiff and Shannon across the aisle beside a window. The airplane appeared relatively new with video screens in the headrests which allowed passengers to select in-flight movies or popular TV shows. Once the girls saw these they all accepted the headphones from the stewardess and plugged in for some entertainment to pass the time.

Tony had never enjoyed long-haul flights but thankfully this one was smooth, and the seats were quite comfortable and the cabin service first class. They all managed to sleep for a while, but were starting to get restless when the captain finally announced they were commencing the descent into Brisbane Airport, and the weather was clear and the day was warm and mild. He had booked a limo to take them to the hotel, and they collected their bags from the luggage carousel and joined the queue to move through Customs, before finding a uniformed driver holding a card with Tony’s name in bold print.

The driver welcomed them warmly before loading the luggage onto a trolley and took them through the doors to the waiting car, and soon they pulled up at a high-rise hotel right on the beach in Surfers Paradise. They checked in and a uniformed young lady took them to the penthouse Tony had booked, unlocking the door and showing them inside. To say the apartment was luxurious was a serious understatement as there were two large living areas, two separate bedrooms each with their own spacious bathroom, and a kitchen/dining area. She opened the sliding doors which led to the roof-top outdoor area which had a private swimming pool, another bathroom, and large tiled area that looked out over the beach and along the coastline as far as the eye could see. Cyn smiled up at him and squeezed his arm. “You really know how to show a girl a good time Tony. This apartment is fantastic; I could live here quite happily.”

“It’s been a long time since any of us have had a holiday.” He smiled at her. “And my special girls deserve nothing less than five-star service all the way.”

The girl gratefully accepted his tip as she handed over the electronic room keys, and wished them a pleasant stay before assuring they could call for anything they needed. It was getting late in the day but Kat and the twins were keen to get down to the beach, so Tony insisted on pointing out the designated swimming area marked with flags by the lifeguards and made them promise they would only swim in the patrolled area. Shannon cheekily told him the muscular young lifeguards looked pretty hot so they’d definitely hang around there. He shook his head as they went inside to change into their bikinis while he went in search of some refreshments. He was back with a bottle of wine and two glasses, toasting Cyn as they leaned against the railing and looked out at the million dollar view.

“Bill and I took the k**s to Huntingdon Beach once.” Cyn related. “I thought that was really beautiful, but this….is so much better.”

“I was thinking almost the same thing. The sand here is so white the glare almost hurts your eyes without sunglasses, and the water looks so clean it’s hard to believe. I mean look out there, in between the waves you can see the bottom so clearly, and there’s no oil rigs like there are off many of the California beaches.”

He stood behind her, his glass in one hand and the other around her waist as she leant back against him, tilting her head for a leisurely kiss. “Thank you for this.” She said simply. “This is going to be such a great vacation for all of us.”

“I hope so.” Tony smiled. “But just wait till you see the resort at Bedarra Island. If its half as good as the reviews I think that will be bucket list experience.”

She laughed as she looked back out at the beach that went on for miles. “Well this isn’t a bad start.”

They heard a whistle waft up on the gentle breeze and peered down to see Kat, Tiff and Shannon waving up from the beach, waiting for them to wave back before they ran along the sand. They watched the girls reach the patrolled area before towels were dropped and they sprinted into the water, splashing around and trying to surf the small waves back to the shore. As Tony and Cyn sipped their wine they saw two of the young lifeguards pointing at girls and laughing, before they jogged down to join them. Before long the lifeguards were giving them body-surfing lessons and it looked as though they were having a great time. “Will you look at that.” Cyn laughed. “We’ve been here five minutes and they’ve already got the local boys interested.”

“That’s probably because they are stunningly beautiful like their mother.” He complimented.

“You’re such a smooth talker Tony, but I could listen to comments like that all day.” She said with a satisfied smile. “Are you sure you don’t want to add two more gorgeous girls to your harem? It would solve so many problems.”

Tony laughed out loud at her suggestion. “It may solve some problems for you babe, but I’m sure it’d give me a few new ones.”

She nuzzled back against him, grinding her tight butt against his cock. She bent down to place her glass on a convenient table before sliding her hand back around his neck, drawing him closer. “Speaking of problems, I have a persistent itch that needs a good scratching. Any chance you could help me with that?”

“What kind of itch would my lady like some help with?” He enquired knowingly, leaning forward to place his glass safely beside hers before sliding a wandering hand up her thighs and under her dress to cup her pussy through her filmy panties.

“That’s getting close Tony.” She whispered. “Very, very close.”

He glanced around, noting that each end of the balcony had a privacy screen that prevented people in the adjoining high-rises seeing them. The screens across the front were made of frosted glass, so nobody on the beach could make out what was happening either. He knelt down and lifted the hem of her dress, slipping her panties down and helping her step free as she remained still, gazing out at the view with a faraway look in her eyes. He unzipped his jeans and slid them down with his shorts before standing behind her again, his hands wrapping around her and returning to her moist pussy. Her legs slid apart to provide more room for his probing fingers, and she hissed softly as he stroked her increasingly wet slit. “I think…you’re almost…there.” She whispered, so he slid one and then two fingers past her puffy labia and into her dripping pussy.

“You’re so wet babe.” He whispered in her ear.

“I’m so ready.” She hissed back. “Feed me your cock honey. Please!”

Tony took a step back and used his grip to take her with him until she was bending forward at the waist and holding the railing for support. He moved forward, his rigid cock nudging her butt cheek before taking aim at her glistening slit and easing steadily inside, hearing her exhale slowly as she felt him stretch her soft tissue. “Take me please Tony. Fuck my dripping cunt!” She pleaded.

He thrust in firmly, actually lifting her feet off the tiles for a second as he leant forward. “Are you that hot to fuck Cyn?” He whispered in her ear. “I thought you’d like some long, slow lovemaking for our first night in Australia.”
“We can do that later Tony.” She whispered. “Right now I just need a good, hard fucking!”

With that settled he started thrusting harder, gripping and squeezing her firm nipples through the thin fabric of her summer top as his cock slid easily into her. He was just thinking how erotic it was to be standing in the open as he fucked his stunning companion when she leaned her head back. “Oh God, I love being fucked like this. It feels so hot and wanton, standing here while you fuck my cunt. Will you fuck me outdoors when we get to island?”

“Every chance we get babe.” He assured her. “Every single chance!”

That was all it took to bring her first orgasm bubbling to the surface, and she clapped a hand over her mouth to stifle a scream as she bathed his cock with cum. He kept thrusting, tugging harder on her rigid nipples as her slippery pussy sucked him deep inside. She groaned and came again before she managed to speak. “Don’t….cum….inside me.” She gasped. “I want you…to jack your cock….and spray your cum….all over my face.”

Tony was getting very close to his own release when she spoke; talk about just in time! He grunted and pulled back, and in a flash she spun around and squatted down, leaning back against the glass panels for support. He jacked his slippery shaft as hard and fast, looking down at his lustful companion as she watched him masturbate with lustful fire blazing in her eyes. “Ohhhhh…… YYEEEEESSSSS!!” He groaned as his balls tightened and fired a burst of thick cream up his shaft. He was aiming for her willing, open mouth but was a little off target, the first jet splattering across her nose and cheek. Shifting direction he succeeded in sending his second and third bursts straight past her cherry-red lips and into her mouth, painting her extended tongue pearl-white. He was still pumping, and moved his aim across her face until she was covered with cum like a porno movie starlet.

She smiled in satisfaction; a picture of pure lustful indulgence as his cum ran slowly down her face. She slid her tongue past her lips and scooped the thick cream into her mouth, proudly displaying her mouthful before she swallowed. “Oh God, I needed that.” She hissed, before using her fingers to clean the strands of juice that she couldn’t reach with her tongue. “You taste so good Tony.”

He helped her to her feet and kissed her lips, tasting a trace of his own residual jizz. “That was so hot Cyn. You are the original MILF!”

She laughed at his unusual compliment and hugged him. “Can I use the same term, but change it to Man I Love to Fuck?”

He laughed loudly. “I guess that works for me.”

She walked inside to clean up before the girls came back, and they sat on the outdoor lounges to enjoy the last rays of sunshine as the sun slid lower in the western sky.

The next few days were a blur of activity, visiting Movie World where they had a simply amazing day enjoying the attractions, rides and having photos taken with staff dressed as everyone from Batman to Donald Duck. A rest day gave them a chance to recover before it was off to Wet n’ Wild, where they had the most incredible assortment of water slides. They spent a full day running from one slide to the next and were happily tired-out when they were one of the last families to leave. Another rest day saw them hit the shopping malls, and Tony’s credit card had serious workout as they purchased clothes, jewelry and souvenirs.

The last day in Surfers Paradise saw them at Sea World, and this was without doubt the best of the parks they visited. A huge man-made lake hosted a sensational water ski and jet ski show, before they headed off to watch the performing dolphins and seals. They even had polar bears in a special air-conditioned enclosure which amazed them considering the tropical climate. Tony had prepaid an additional fee to have a private swim with the dolphins, and the girls were positively glowing after these gentle mammals allowed them the hold a fin and be towed along as their powerful tails propelled them across the pool. Cyn was almost in tears when it was time to leave, but he assured her he’d taken plenty of photos of her and the girls.

They made it back to the hotel and ordered room service dinner, relaxing around the outdoor table as they enjoyed the meal and watched the sunset. Tony raised my glass to Cyn and the girls as he smiled at them. “Ladies, we are halfway through our first vacation together. Is everyone having a good time, and are we looking forward to flying to the island tomorrow?”

A chorus of loud cheers erupted, and everyone laughed when they realized the people in the next building probably heard them. Cyn leaned forward and clinked her glass against his. “We are having the best time ever Tony thank you, but you have a serious problem.” She said with a broad smile.

“Really? How so?”

She smiled happily back. “There is no way on earth you are ever going to top this!” She replied, laughing happily.

Tony considered that for a moment as the girls waited to see how he’d respond. “You know, you may just be right about that.” He chuckled, realizing he’d probably gone about as far as he could with special surprises. However that was a challenge he wouldn’t have to worry about for a while.

A gentle breeze wafted up from the ocean and they sat around talking and laughing until quite late, before heading to bed as they had an early start in the morning.

The next day they were up early and packed, and a limo took them to the airport for the flight to Cairns. From there they boarded a light plane which flew out over the pristine reef to Dunk Island, one of the few islands on the reef that featured a landing strip, before boarding a chartered helicopter for the final leg to their destination. Everyone wanted to sit up front with the pilot but Tony overruled the arguments, reminding them it was Cyn’s birthday trip so it was only fair she had the best view. Tiff and Shannon were behind them and Kat and he were in the back row, but the large windows still provided a fantastic view.

The flight gave them an opportunity to enjoy the sights from the air, and they could see patches of shallow reef separated by darker water that was clearly deeper, and islands of different sizes dotting the ocean. They flew over several boats cruising the sheltered waters, ranging from smaller pleasure craft, yachts heeling majestically under sail, and larger luxury cruisers and catamarans. Tony nudged Kat and asked her how she’d feel about spending a few weeks cruising the islands by boat. Her eyes sparkled when she told him as long as she didn’t have hoist sails she was there. They were all wearing headphones which crackled as the pilot told them Bedarra Island was directly ahead, and he descended until it seemed they were skimming the waves before completing a slow circuit of the picture-perfect island and a gentle landing.

A couple were waiting for them as the pilot shut down the engine, smiling and waving as he opened the doors and helped them climb down. They came over to greet them, the man extending his hand to Tony. “Hello Tony, Cynthia and welcome all. I’m John and I’m fortunate to have the best job in the world as manager of our little piece of paradise. I’d like you to meet Cath, and assure you that we’re at your service to this the best vacation you’ve ever had.”

The pilot helped John and Cath take the bags, politely refusing Tony’s offer to help before heading back to his helicopter for the return journey. Once the noise faded into the distance they became aware of the total, tranquil silence, and could actually feel their pulse rates slowing as they absorbed the serenity of the surroundings. Gently swaying palm trees provided patches of shade as John and Cath led them to an open sided structure which housed a long dining table, several comfortable chairs, and a bar that appeared to want for nothing at all.

A waiter brought a tray with tropical cocktails and they were asked to take a seat. As they sipped their drinks John and Cath explained meal times and menus; asking if they had any special dietary requirements before telling them it was an open-bar and if it was unattended they could help themselves. Cath laughingly spoke of regularly seeing a honeymooning husband running barefoot to the bar late at night to get a bottle of champagne and take it back to his waiting bride. John took over to detail the various activities that were available, including helicopter sightseeing, catamaran trips to a pontoon on the reef for snorkeling or scuba diving, paraflying behind a speedboat, and small catamarans and jet skis available for guests to use. Cath explained the staff would prepare a picnic lunch if they wanted to walk, sail or jet ski to one of the private beaches, and pointed to the sign-posted walking track that led to the other side of the island.

They provided a lot of information in a short space of time, but did so in a relaxed manner that instantly made them feel comfortable. Tony was hoping that his first impressions would prove accurate and they’d all have a luxurious, restful break before heading home next week. When the introduction was finished Cath took them to their bungalows, which were shaded by large palm trees and looked out over the pure white sand and crystal clear water.

Cyn, Kat and Tony were in one bungalow and the twins were next door, which was an arrangement that suited everyone as it gave Shannon and Tiff their own private space. As Kat had commented when she looked at the website the rooms were five-star plus, with opulent furnishings and a surprising amount of space considering their compact external appearance. The bedroom had a huge bed which must have been custom-made as it was larger than king-size, and looked through panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows to the pristine beach. Waking up tomorrow to that view was something Tony was really looking forward to. They unpacked and settled in before Cyn suggested they relax on the deck for a while. She found a bottle of champagne in the refrigerator, and asked Tony to do the honors before they sat outside and looked out over the tranquil bay.

They could hear Tiff and Shannon talking and laughing, and then they appeared and looked over from their deck. “Hey Tony.” Tiff called out. “This place is paradise, thank you so much!”

Shannon was grinning from ear to ear. “Great job Dad!” She laughed.

Cyn was smiling at him over the rim over her glass. “You really have excelled yourself Tony, again!”

He leant over and kissed her softly. “Happy birthday Cyn. I hope this will be a birthday you never forget.”

“I think you’ve already ticked that box babe, and we’ve still got a week to go.”

“A week here; now that’s going to be hard to take.” Kat giggled. “I just don’t know how we’ll manage.”

Tony threw a cushion which she ducked easily. “Something tells me you’ll cope just fine Kat.”

The twins had disappeared but soon they were running down the path between the bungalows wearing their bikinis and carrying towels. They didn’t pause when they reached the white sand, dropping their towels as they ran straight into the cool water, diving under the surface before swimming out a way. Tony, Cyn and Kat watched them enjoying their swim while they soaked up the dappled sunlight that filtered through the palm fronds as they moved in the gentle breeze. They sat and talked for a while before the lure of the sparking water proved irresistible, and changed into their costumes and joined the twins. Tony swam out and Shannon breast-stroked over, surprising him by wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him on the lips. “This must have cost a fortune Tony.” She smiled. “Thank you so much. This is just an amazing holiday….I mean….it’s hard to believe we’re really here. It’s almost like I’m dreaming and I don’t want to wake up.”

He slipped one arm around her waist as they trod water together. “Well princess, I hope this is the first of many great vacations for us.”

She leaned forward and kissed him again. “When you do things like this….it almost makes me want to reconsider my earlier decision.” She whispered with an impish grin. Tony’s jaw dropped and he swallowed a mouthful of salt water which had him coughing and spluttering as he tried to recover from her totally unexpected statement. She had swum away a short distance as he tried to clear his throat. “See you later Dad!” She grinned, before diving below the surface.

He shook his head and smiled to himself, thinking that life was full of surprises.

When they waded back to the beach they toweled off and went back to their rooms, enjoying leisurely showers before dressing in casual clothes. The twins came over and spent some time talking about what they wanted to do over the coming week. Everyone was keen to take the catamaran out to the reef where they could snorkel over the rainbow colored coral, the twins were keen to try out the resort’s jet skis, and Kat expressed her wish to go paraflying. As the sun dipped below the ocean they walked up to dinner, the salt air and earlier exercise ensuring all had healthy appetites. The meal was sensational and the service was first class, but Tony was distracted and nervous about something he’d been planning for some time. The countdown clock was ticking, and he wiped his palms on a napkin, knowing precisely why he was so nervous and wishing he could control his sense of expectation.

Cyn smiled and put her hand on his. “A penny for your thoughts Tony. You looked as though you were a million miles away.”

He smiled back at her. “I was just thinking that life really doesn’t get any better than this. Being here with you, Kat and the twins is just perfect; I wouldn’t change anything at all.”

Cyn looked around and then back at him, her eyes sparkling in the soft light. “It is perfect isn’t it? I’m tempted to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming, but then I’d be so disappointed to wake up!” She laughed.

He teasingly pinched the back of her hand. “There you are, now you know this is real.”

Dessert and coffee arrived and disappeared and Tony realized the time had come to unveil his surprise. He looked over to the waitress who immediately caught his glance and came over, bending down so he could whisper a request. She was back in moments with a bottle of champagne and three long-stem glasses, asking if he’d like her to open the bottle. He assured her he’d take care of that and looked across at the twins. “I’d like to take Kat and your Mom down to the beach for a while.”

They smiled happily and nodded saying they wanted to head back to their bungalow anyway, and everyone stood before Tony led Cyn and Kat to the beach. The girls looped their arms in his as they walked down the soft sand, looking up at a perfect night with a full moon lighting their way and illuminating the small waves with crests of rolling silver. The sound of the waves breaking was somehow soothing, and at that point he needed every calming influence he could find.

Kat smiled and stretched up to kiss his cheek. “If you’re trying to seduce us you’re doing a hell of a job.” She laughed, with Cyn joining in agreement.

“Maybe later Kat.” He smiled as he bent down to put the bottle and glasses safely on the sand.

It was Cyn who realized something was a little out of place, and she gave him a curious glance. “Are you feeling ok Tony? You haven’t been your usual self this afternoon and you were awfully quiet at dinner.”

“I’m fine.” He assured her with a nervous smile. “But there is something important I need to ask you both, and I’d like you to hear me out before you reply.”

Now they were both looking nervous, so Tony tried a reassuring smile as he took one of their hands in each of his. He took a deep breath and looked at his two stunning ladies. “I think you both know how much I love you and care for you, but I don’t think I’ve ever really told you how much you’ve have changed my life.” They were looking at him expectantly, their eyes sparkling in the moonlight. “When Julie died I felt as though someone had cut my heart out, and the more time that passed the more I felt I’d never find anyone to take her place. But then you two came along, caught me completely by surprise, and before I knew it I was hopelessly in love with both of you.”

He paused for a steadying breath, somehow resisting an overwhelming urge to wipe his sweating palms on his trousers. He crouched down on one knee and Cyn gasped, her free hand covering her open mouth as he went on. “The past few months have made me realize that I can love again, that I have the opportunity to give myself totally to someone, and that I’d be crazy to let that slip away. I realize what I have with you is a once in a lifetime opportunity….so….what I want to ask you both….is….will you do me the honor of marrying me?” He had finally done it and gulped nervously, thankful he had managed to get that out but now looking expectantly at them both as he waited for a reply. Cyn and Kat looked at him and then glanced at each other, before both smiled and Kat gave Cyn the slightest nod.

As though reacting to a pre-arranged signal they both dropped to their knees on the sand and Cyn took his face in her hands, smothering him with soft kisses. “The answer is yes Tony. Oh yes, yes, YES!!!”

Kat was hugging him and kissing him as well, her eyes sparkling like diamonds in the moonlight. “I think you’d better open the champagne Tony. If ever there was a reason to celebrate, I think this is it!”

He had been holding his breath for so long the vision at the edges of his eyes was starting to go a strange gray color, and sucked in a deep breath before he passed out from oxygen starvation. With slippery hands he fumbled with the cork but finally managed to extract it with a loud pop, before carefully pouring and passing the glasses around, and they sat close together looking out over the water. Kat snuggled close as they clinked glasses, toasting this momentous change in their relationship. “You really are full of surprises Tony. I don’t know about Mom, but I certainly didn’t see that one coming!”

Cyn couldn’t stifle a laugh. “That’s the truth honey. A girl always hopes for a proposal when she meets the right person, but in this case I wasn’t sure….seeing as the two of us are chasing the same man! So Tony, you wouldn’t have proposed to us if you hadn’t thought it through, but how exactly is this going to work? Does Australian law permit a man to marry more than one woman, or are you planning to whisk us off to Africa or South America for some kind of tribal ceremony?” She was smiling broadly as she spoke, though he could see both girls were expectantly waiting for his reply.

He grinned as he briefly visualized a jungle wedding in the middle of nowhere, his brides wearing their beautiful wedding dresses and chunky hiking boots as a village chief performed the ceremony. “No…..I can assure you I’m not planning anything like that. Polygamy is i*****l in most countries so a conventional wedding is not really possible, and there isn’t much that is conventional about our relationship anyway. To me marriage is not about a piece of paper or legal recognition, it’s how the people concerned feel about each other, and their choice to give themselves to someone they want to be with. If you agree with that, and I really hope you do, then what I’d like to suggest is a commitment ceremony. We would treat this as though it were a recognized marriage, but we’d write our own vows that reflect the way we feel, and as far as we’re concerned the three of us would be bound to each other as if we were man…and wives.”

Tony looked at them nervously, as he’d been planning this for some time but had no way of knowing how it would be received until he put it out there. Cyn was positively beaming, smiling broadly as she replied. “I think that sounds perfect honey.” She breathed excitedly, and Kat nodded in emphatic agreement. “I guess that just leaves two questions. Where…and when?”

For the first time that day he was finally starting to relax, but had one more bombshell to drop. He sat back and tried to appear casual. “Well…there’s no real hurry. I was thinking, how about on your birthday?”

Jaws dropped, eyes flew open and faces registered a series of rapidly changing emotions. Disbelief, complete surprise and deep concern were some of the expressions Tony read in a second or two, before Cyn managed to stammer a reply. “But…Tony, that’s the day after tomorrow!”

Kat gave him a curious glance, and then grinned before dissolving into shrieks of laughter. Cyn hadn’t connected the dots as her daughter clearly had, and gave her a disbelieving look. “Ok you sneaky, conniving son-of-a-bitch, I have a pretty fair idea where this is going. Mom and I are going to carry you down and dunk you in the water if you don’t tell us the rest of your plans. And this time…let’s have the whole story.”

Tony raised his hands in surrender and then spent some time in an impromptu beach confessional. He started by telling them how he wanted to take their relationship to a more meaningful level for some time, but didn’t know how to achieve that as marriage was out of the question. While researching various increasingly radical options he came across an article on gay relationships, and how same sex couples could not marry in the conventional sense in most states so they chose to have a commitment ceremony instead. When he researched further it became an increasingly viable option, before he finally concluded it was the perfect alternative for them. At the same time he was planning Cyn’s birthday holiday, and felt it would be perfect to arrange for the ceremony to take place while they were staying in a tropical paradise.

He went on to explain how he’d spent weeks trying to find an Australian celebrant who was prepared to officiate at their ceremony before he found Karen. She was a lovely lady in her mid thirties who had performed hundreds of traditional marriages and many commitment ceremonies for gay couples. Tony emailed her with an outline of what he was looking for, and her first reply had been an emphatic “No!” So he rang her and spent half an hour telling her about their deep feelings for each other despite their unconventional relationship, and his heartfelt wish to formalize their love. She gradually came round, but the clincher came when he offered to pay for a week on the island for Karen and her husband. He laughingly related how she had paused on the phone and absorbed his suggestion.

“Now let me make sure I understand this.” Karen had said. “You will pay for David and I to fly out and spend a week on Bedarra Island no strings attached, and perform the ceremony if your ladies say yes, and if they say no we’ve had a free vacation?”

“That’s exactly what I’m proposing.” Tony replied, so they discussed the details and agreed on suitable dates.

“I??
