Chuck
I woke being hugged between Julie and Brandy. The two were really hanging on, but I needed to offload pretty soon. Sliding from the grasp of the two women, I saw that Lisa was sleeping with her head on Gina's cushions.
I was going to go back to bed after using the head, but saw it was five fifty already and we were going to shove off early this morning. Instead of going back to bed, I hopped back to the head, showered, shaved, and quickly dressed to go see if anyone else was up.
The galley was empty but someone had made coffee, so I poured a mug before going up to the salon. There, Steve was enjoying his morning coffee, watching a BBC news broadcast. "Morning, Steve, ready to get out of here?"
"More than ready, my friend. It's really difficult to live on this boat and be tied up to a dock. Boats like this need to be out on the water with the sails catching the wind." Steve took a drink of his coffee, "What do you think, want to get out of here? I've already been up to the yacht club and squared our stay here. A couple of attendants are hanging around to help us cast off. Do you need to say anything to the security people before we leave?"
I was nodding that I probably should say something to them. Perhaps say thanks for watching over us.
Outside on the dock, one of the security guys was talking to the attendants when I went up to him. "Good morning," I said, and when I had his attention, "I wanted to thank you for watching over us while we were here. We're about to shove off, so you guys can go back to doing whatever it was you were doing before."
The guy said, "Most of the time we're on a security detail with the embassy staff. This has been a nice diversion. It's pretty cool to be out here with all of the fancy yachts." The guy motioned me off to the side and said, "You're going to the Riviera, Nice, right? I was told to make sure I confirmed where you were going. You're supposed to know that you'll have people meet you when you get there."
When I told the guy that I figured we would have babysitters there, he said, "We observed a couple of guys watching your boat, but found out they were sent to be guard dogs for two women and their kids you have on board. They were sent here by the man you visited with in the restaurant across the street, Giovanni Martinelli. You know, that guy is like the head of a pretty serious group of Italian underworld. Usually when they watch someone, it is just before that someone disappears. We found out they are just additional security for the man's two girls and his grandchildren. Be careful with those two ladies. They have a very strange father."
We heard the diesel engines start, so I said, "We're shoving off now. Tell whomever that we should be docking in Nice in about twenty to twenty-four hours." I shook the man's hand before going back aboard."
Just then, Eduardo was walking fast down the dock. He waved at me and as he approached he said, "Sorry I'm late. Who would have thought it would take so long to get a taxi this early in the morning."
I told him, "Take your bag on deck and we'll find you a cabin in a little bit. Have some coffee in the salon. We're casting off right now."
I had forgotten that Sue wanted Eduardo to help us get around on the Riviera as he had done before.
Steve told me, "Take the gangplank down and have the utilities removed. I've already converted from shore power to generator. You can have all of the middle springer lines taken down. As usual, leave only the bow and stern lines."
I dismantled the gangplank and stored it back into the slot under the deck while the attendants disconnected the utilities. Just as everything appeared to be ready, Mercy came out on deck smiling. She said, "Hey, how about me helping with the lines. It's a bitch to do both ends at once."
I looked at Steve and he was waving for us to release the last two lines. Mercy went aft while I went to the bow and waved at the attendant. He released the big line as I pulled it in. I quickly coiled the line and watched as Steve used the inside propeller, or screw, to bring the bow away from the dock. As soon as there was good separation, the attendant released the aft line and Mercy lugged the big line up and coiled it like a good sailor.
I stayed on the bow, making sure no smaller boats were about to cross in front of us. We wouldn't be able to stop, but we could always be of assistance in rescuing them.
Since we had been tied up right in the middle of the marina, it was easy for us to motor straight out the opening to the artificial lagoon. There wasn't much turbulence around the opening this morning, and that also meant there wasn't much wind. Steve kept the engines at a fairly high RPM as we made it out toward open water. I was looking at the anemometer on top of the forward mast and saw that it was beginning to spin fairly fast. You could feel the cooler breeze picking up from the cooler water we were moving into.
We were only a couple of miles out when I heard the electric motors begin to lift the sail. I went back inside to find the salon filling up with people watching our departure. Kids were coming topside, still rubbing their eyes while getting plastic glasses of juice.
Steve said he needed to use the head and asked me to take over, so I took the helm and began going over the gauges and electronics, checking that the radars were working and pulled up the international weather channel. We were on our way.
Lisa brought me another mug of hot coffee as I sat back in the captain's chair. There isn't much to do after you set up the auto controls. There are a lot of little islands off the coast of Italy as you head north toward Nice, sailing between Italy and Corsica. You have to aim at the big channel for easy passage. The wind was picking up, so I had to pay attention to the line gauges and figured we needed to do a visual check of the lines out on deck to make sure they were all secure.
When Steve came back up, I told him I would go check the lines, but Sue jumped down from her seat at the bar saying, "I'll go out with Steve. I need some fresh morning air."
The band members were coming up to the salon, waking up from the motion of the boat. Dan said he sometimes got motion sickness, but he said he was doing really well so far. Lisa began fixing Bloody Mary's for everyone who wanted a morning kicker. The helm or bridge area was getting crowded, as all of the band members wanted to peek at the instruments and look out the window at the forward sails. It was crowded because all, and I mean all, of my ladies were up at the helm huddled around me, excited about getting out on the water again.
Gina was very excited, saying that this was her first time out on a boat like this. She said she had been on a big motor launch before, but nothing like this. Gio was equally excited, joining my ladies near the helm.
The kids were all up now and were going in and out of the salon, checking out how nice it was outside. The fun five disappeared, saying they were going to help get breakfast ready. Taiying had taken my mug and brought it back with hot coffee. She sat up in the captain's chair, looking regal and smiling at what she probably knew was a unique sight, a tiny creature in the big captain's chair in front of the big busy console.
The Italian kids came up to look at everything, and Gina's daughter asked me, "Are you going to be my Papa?"
Gina heard her and tried to shush her. I smiled at the girl, and asked in return, "Would you like that? Would you like to be around all of these other kids?"
The little girl said, "But these other children are not your children, how would I be around them?"
Trixie and Dixie were up with me and told the little girl, "We all live close together, and we are with each other almost all day long every day. We go to school together, we eat together, and we all play together. There are a lot more kids at home to play with too. I miss them and wish they could have come with us. You would really like them."
Gina's two kids were talking between themselves as Gina looked on, embarrassed that her daughter would ask a question like that.
Just as Tiani came to the top of the stairs to announce breakfast, Bonita told Gina's daughter, "You should get Chuck to be your dad. We could have a lot of fun together at his house. He has a really neat place to play music."
I suppose it's better to be popular for having a studio than not being popular at all.
I scooped Bonita up and told the amazing little girl, "You know kids can't just pick out a parent. These kids' mother is the one to help make that decision, Bonita. Gina and I have a lot to talk about before anything like that can happen."
Bonita's next statement zinged to my mental being. "You have so many women that one more won't make a difference. You could have two more kids, too."
Gina, Tina, and Lisa were laughing, but Bonita added the kicker, "I'll bet daddy even thinks about Gio for another momma for us kids."
Lisa and Tina were standing right there, and they both put an arm around Gina. Lisa said to the Italian beauty, "We're working on him. You have a good chance if you want it."
Gina was grinning as she hugged Lisa back and said, "It is so strange for your man to have so many women. Don't you get jealous?"
Tina and Lisa looked at each other and actually had to think about it. Tina said, "We share Chuck because we like each other almost as much as we like him. All of us enjoy being around each other, and Chuck is sometimes not home a lot, so it's nice for us to have each other."
Frieda was listening and said, "Yes, it is good to have so many close friends that we live with. I guess we should be jealous of you, but we are all attracted to you. You seem so sweet and maybe even innocent, or what we would call naïve. You can't be too naïve with two kids and the way you act with us."
Gina had a solemn look when she said, "When Gio and I were young, we had no one else but each other. We learned to give pleasure to each other and to enjoy each other the way I enjoy all of you girls. Girls make me feel different than a man. All of you girls have been very good to me, made me feel special, and you share your man with me. Your man makes me feel wonderful because he isn't rough and when we have loved, he makes me feel like I'm the only one in the world.
That made the other women around the helm close in on us to hug me, along with Gina and each other.
Julie gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and turned to the girls, "Come eat, one of you can bring Chuck some breakfast after a while."
In about twenty minutes, Steve came up and told me to go below for breakfast. When I sat down next to Wanda, I asked her, "How come you and John didn't go with the Bell? You could have had a couple of more days in Nice."
Wanda replied, "John and I are enjoying sailing. It is really laid back. The trip from Ireland was nice and we're leaving for home after the Riviera."
"What about you, Jan, you could have gone with the others?" asked Chuck.
Jan said, "Chuck, Don and I are enjoying being with you and Steve. This setting is so much more relaxing than what we do for work. I'm really enjoying being out on the water too." Jan looked at me and asked, "Could you do us tonight? You know marry us out at sea? This will be the last opportunity to do it when we are sailing."
I smiled at my good friend, "You're on, how about right after supper?"
Jan hugged Don, looked at him to get his agreeing nod, "That would be great, Chuck, you are the perfect person to do it for us too."
Glenda had been listening to the conversation and said, "I'll make a cake. I've always wanted to make a wedding cake and what a place to do it, on a big sailboat out in the Mediterranean."
The kids seemed to be pretty hyper this morning, and I told Lisa, "What do you think about running the kids around deck this morning, then getting out the pads for some martial arts training?"
Turning to Don, I asked, "Are you up for some Sensei responsibilities this morning?"
Don said, "I'd love it. We haven't had much exercise lately." He asked Wanda, "How about it, want to help me teach this morning?"
After breakfast, Lisa took the kids out on deck and they began walking around the boat. In very little time, most of the boys were running, enjoying the exhilaration of the wind from the sea as well as the fun of the pack running around the deck. Some of the little girls didn't run, but walked in bunches talking about whatever little girls talk about. Bonita, Lizzy, and Corine had become fast friends and enjoyed hanging out with each other.
Wanda, Jan, Don, and I pulled out the mats and soon had everyone who wanted to join us doing Tai Chi forms to stretch our muscles. When Lisa, Wanda, and Don began going through the instructional phase, I noticed the four Italian kids with the others, learning some basic moves. Both Gio and Gina were with the kids, learning as well.
Steve and I swapped to the outdoor helm and enjoyed the warm morning sun. As it got hot, we put up the sunscreen. That's when we became aware there was a parade of women going up to the sundeck. The kids were inside playing, or should I say mimicking, the band guys while their women sunned themselves.
I could hear Bonita was getting the band guys to play the songs they knew, but after a while, Kenny and Fred were the ones teaching the kids some new music. Greg came out and asked, "Would you come in and set up the Roland drums. I want you to play them for a little while so I can watch to see how you do some things.
I asked him, "I thought you were more interested in bass?"
Greg answered, "I am, but I want to learn drums too. I've been practicing the rudiments you taught and I'm getting pretty smooth doing them, but the drum set is a whole different thing. I want to learn."
Steve told me, "Go in, play with the kids. I see Lisa in there, so teach all the kids; they will enjoy it."
Inside, Kenny exclaimed, "Hey! Our drummer is here. Do a couple with us while we teach these kids a new piece. Jack ran off some copies of the score he made up on the midi. He says you have a fancy office with a copier on the bottom deck."
The band, Lisa, and I worked with Kenny and Fred to get a couple of pieces together. The kids were doing really well reading music to play their parts. I mentioned to Kenny, "We need some brass, we can't continue to just play rock blues, we need some brass to get real funky."
Kenny said, "We've tried it several times, but side guys just don't want to work as hard as we do. I have almost all of our music with scores for trumpet, trombone, and sax. All I have to do is to find the players."
Lisa asked, "Why don't you have Rags' people play with you. I know two trumpets, a trombone, and two sax players came down with them. I'll bet they'll work with you. You guys need to come over and we can work some stuff up in our new studio."
Dan was in agreement, "We should do that. We might be getting stale working out only in our place. A new studio might be a way to get inspired for some new music."
By noon, the kids and the band were playing together like a well-oiled machine. Jack was busy adding some flavor with the controller, but I think he was also making sure he recorded every note and musical phrase coming from the mass group.
Fred had Bonita to the side teaching her some very complicated riffs. It was not any surprise to hear her mimicking her present mentor, while adding to each of the riffs with some fingering and picking of her own. Carlos and Lizzy were having a good time complementing the music with their harmonicas. Actually, the place was almost just a lot of noise, but there were many instances that some really good blues came from the accumulated kids.
After lunch, the kids settled down a little and played out on deck. This only lasted as long as it took the band to catch a quick nap. The couples were enjoying some private time on the boat, with the portholes open, listening to the boat slide through the water.
Some of the women wanted to get some more sun and I only lasted up there about twenty minutes. I said I was going to get some exercise, so I headed down to the sports room.
Below decks, with my sports leg on, I ran on the dreaded treadmill for a half hour, followed by another fifteen minutes on the elliptical. The elliptical is tough as I can't put the necessary pressure down with the one leg, so I have to over use that arm. I spent fifteen minutes with the multi-station machine, emulating lifting, before I called it quits.
In the cabin, I was just getting into the shower when the Asian sisters came in with Frieda and Gina. They said for me to get the water ready as they would join me. Oh man, more teasing.
Frieda hugged me as soon as she got in, pressing her bulging body into me. We kissed until we were being mauled by the Asian sisters. Sing was the first to kiss me. She was funny as she climbed my body and wrapped her legs around me and put her arms around my neck to hold herself up.
A mysterious hand grasped me, making sure I was hard and directed me inside the tiny girl. The little woman grinned up at me with her narrow slanted black eyes and mouthed, "Give it to me, give it to me, give me a baby."
Considering the squeezing Sing was doing, it didn't take but a short while until I was filling her small body. I was wondering if this was practice or if it was for real. When Sing's shudders had calmed, she pulled free of me and before she let go, she whispered, "That was fun; that might be the way I want you to do it for real."
Frieda gave me another loving kiss and said, "I need you, but I can't do it in the shower. Save some for me when we're done."
Taiying imitated her sister by climbing my body and wrapping herself around me. Another mystery hand placed me to slide deep within her. Taiying went through a bunch of gyrations and squeezing that had her panting as pussy drool ran down my leg. As she shivered through her orgasm, she kissed me deeply before she leaned away from me smiling. She held out her left hand, showing her ring and kissed me again.
I guess I did good to give the rings.
As I tried to wash, another set of hands began stimulating me. It was Gina who was becoming very amorous. I clutched her luscious body to me and said, "You must be careful, Gina. I could easily make you a mother again." The beautiful Italian shuddered and shook through a kiss as I think she climaxed or orgasmed just thinking about our joining.
Gina kissed me and took hold of me. When she looked at me, I could see her desire. As gently as I could, I turned her and had her lean against the shower wall. As slowly as possible, I eased my way into her. She was tight, extremely tight and kept gasping, exclaiming alarm and pleasure simultaneously. In a very short time, Gina was slamming her body back into mine trying to achieve what she had not had in a long time. When Gina came, she was nearly screaming, almost falling as I caught her around the waist. Surprisingly, I was able to hold off and not blow a huge load into her fertile chamber.
When Gina turned around and kissed me passionately, she held my hardness and began slipping to her knees. I kept her up, kissing her and telling her, "Save some for Frieda. She is waiting for me." Gina smiled and we finished washing.
As soon as I hopped from the shower, I was attacked by Brandy and Tiani, who literally dragged me to bed. Nancy was between Frieda's legs and rose up with a wet face and glazed eyes, "She's ready, do her, make her a mommy all over again."
I was welcomed into Frieda's arms, and remained there as we made love, until she said, "Let me turn around and do me on my hands and knees, I mean really do me. I need to feel you slamming into me."
That worried me as I don't know how women are when they are pregnant. Will that hurt them? Will that hurt the baby, or in her case, babies?
As soon as Frieda was on her hands and knees, I was inside her and she was lunging back at me exclaiming her pleasure. In seconds, or at least not longer than a couple of minutes, Frieda spasmed, screamed into a pillow, and collapsed. She rolled over and hugged me to her; she whispered into my ear, "I love you, I love you, Chuck."
My, oh my, my funny five may not leave me to be by themselves after all.
I lay on my back relaxing after the exertion Frieda had just put me through. Nancy wouldn't let me be and sat on my stomach, leaned over and kissed me while I was fitted into her welcoming receptacle by one of her cohorts. She worked herself up and down with her eyes closed. I could feel her insides clutching and internally caressing me, as she squeezed her eyes tighter and shivered. She came down to me to kiss me, squashing her belly into me. She said, "This is so special."
With Nancy resting beside me, I was very satisfied, satisfied until Judy lovingly took me into her mouth and gently sucked me a little. She came up, kissed me and asked, "Please, I need you in me but I don't think all of you will fit. Please do me, but be gentle and don't put everything into me."
How could I refuse? We made love. I was gentle and she was receptive until she groaned from the pleasure of orgasm. Judy kissed me passionately; smiled and mouthed that she loved me. I was touched.
Of course, Brandy needed some loving, followed by Tiani, then Maria wanted me to give her a dose. As I was lying on my back, trying to recover, a mouth was gently sucking me back to attention. Lisa kissed me and said, "You have two more of us, Lover. Julie is waiting and I'm going to be right behind her. Do her, make her a mommy too."
Steve I was laying on my back, with Gio on my left shoulder and Juanita on my right. I could see the clock on the other side of the room showing that it was right at six AM. We were up later than usual last night. Even after coming to bed, my ladies were more active than usual, but what is normal for these women? Poor Gio, I could tell she wanted to be loved, but all she received was a lot of kisses and hugs. Our baby is more important than sex. The other girls are being almost overly...
Steve I had just discussed the medical laboratory plant with Sue and we agreed that this was an important project. We both wanted to continue to assist Chuck in helping vets any way we could. It was past time to run into work, so I went to see how the company was functioning. A walkthrough of all the shops is always the best way to get a feel for what's going on. I saw Hank in the rear of the motor shop, painting one of Shawna's chopper creations. He was doing it from a chair with his...
Chuck Holy shit! There are babies everywhere. All of them are hollering/crying and they all need attention right now. Literally hundreds of babies were demanding diaper changes, demanding a breast to nurse, and looking for loving attention. All I could do is stand in the middle of the bedlam with my mouth open, too terrified to do anything. Someone was shaking me, "Wake up, Chuck, you're having a bad dream, wake up, Honey." I opened by eyes to find Brandy looking at me with a concerned...
Steve I was having coffee in my room at the resort. I had the patio doors open, looking out from the ninth floor toward the beautiful lagoon or small harbor in front of the hotel. It was still too early for beach people, but there were workers cleaning the beach. Two tractors were dragging the sand, smoothing it out to make it more appealing to the tourists. In the harbor and at the dock were several large yachts and sailboats. None, however, rivaled the Have Mercy, the Mercy Mercy, or...
Steve Mercy was shaking me, "Steve, Steve, wake up. Chuck may need you. I think Maria's in trouble." I sat straight up trying to think why Maria would be in trouble. Oh yeah, she's about to hatch. "What kind of trouble, Mercy, what is it?" Mercy just shook her head, "I don't know, but she just woke Chuck up. He may need us. Let's get over there to make sure they are alright." I began putting some clothes on. Sue, Kathy, Mickey, and Juanita woke, seeing Mercy and me dressing,...
Steve I had been told first by Mercy, then by Sue, that all of the women wanted to talk to me. That usually is almost instant death, or maybe it was going to be an execution, mine. At least they had waited for me to finish eating breakfast before the hanging. It was with great apprehension that I was following Sue, Kathy, and Mickey up the stairs, or more appropriately, the broad curved ladder that goes up to the salon. Mercy was at the helm, with Juanita sitting beside her . Juanita...
Chuck A speaker in the room was broadcasting reveille. It had the desired effect, as I swung my foot and stump out of bed. Across from me, Lisa was sitting up, rubbing her eyes. She looked up at me and said, "Old habits are hard to break, aren't they?" Wanda was trying to pull a pillow over her head, but Lisa gave her a shake and said, "You better get up, or you won't get a shower and breakfast." Lisa looked up at me, "Since you're fast, go do your thing, and I'll go next after I...
Chuck Lisa and I were having fun doing what we liked to do when we were relaxing. We were both sitting on a little raised stage at the bottom of what was like a theater in the round. The platform had a baby grand with a bench and two chairs, with Lisa and me sitting on them. An interesting part of this is that there was absolutely no sound system. If you were looking for un-plugged, this was the ultimate. The acoustics in the theater had been designed so that what was played on the little...
Steve I was up early, as usual, sitting in the parlor on one of the fixed stools at the bar in the suite. You know how it is; waiting for coffee to brew can seem like an eternity when you don't want to sit there and wait. There was no place else to go and nothing else to do. If I went out to the patio, I would just have to come back in. If I went back into the room, I would probably disturb someone. Wonder why I can never sleep late? Only on rare occasions can I sleep until seven or eight....
Steve As soon as I stepped out on the patio, Tiny came in the back door, waving some papers while grinning his conspiratorial grin. I asked, "What are up to, Tiny? What's got you wound up so early?" "I've just heard from another Saudi sheik who is buying a new 737. The man heard we were buyers and called our office. The night customer service people transferred the call to me and we will get the new or rather new/used bird today. The Sheik's agent said we would like the price. I...
Chuck When Sue and Don relieved me at midnight, I went down to the office to check the rings I was going to hand out later that night. I separated eight of the rings, along with the special one I had made up for Lisa. The only difference between the special one and the others was that it had two brilliant blue diamonds on each side of the big diamond while the other rings had two bright red rubies on each side of a big diamond. The bands were wide, much wider than what a normal engagement or...
Chuck I woke up in a sweat. Remembering the night before didn't help with the PTS, with maybe a D on the end. That was close. I wonder why the bomb detonated, did it have a timer? Was there another person with a remote detonator? I doubt I'll ever know. I do know I was grateful to have carried Lisa out of the way. A heavy-breasted person was at my back and it wasn't Frieda as the belly wasn't bulging. That's when I remembered Gina. My, oh my, what do I do after hearing Giovanni's...
Steve Chuck had come out for breakfast this morning to talk to me about something. When we had our coffee and were sitting at the bar away from people, Chuck said, "There's a bunch of things coming together all at once. Magellan called to say the boat's ready to be picked up. I've transferred funds and paid them, so we can bring it up any time." He took a sip of coffee and said, "You want to go to Hawaii for a few days, which at a minimum is a day going and a day returning. I can get...
Steve Amazing, one night the little ones don't wake you up, and the next they wake up a couple of times. It wasn't bad either time, as Mickey and Giovanna were quickly up to take care of them. I can't imagine what Chuck is doing with ten of them in his big suite. Chuck has made some very nice plans for us, considering I thought the resort was sold out to other customers. Chuck is sneaky that way. He'll have had this planned for months now, and was able to coordinate holding the Costa...
Chuck It seemed like just a few minutes ago I was totaled, dead tired, completely exhausted. So what the heck, what's the matter? I never have trouble sleeping. I can even sleep soundly on the hot sand snuggled up against a track, like an APC or an Abrams tank. The shade is always good unless it's too close to mid-day. What's in my head now that I'm having trouble sleeping? I looked at the clock to see it was only two o'clock, and I was wide awake, tired but definitely wide awake. Oh...
Chuck I heard a baby cry and the bed shifted a little. There was activity over by the small table that I was told was a changing table. I raised my head to see who was up and saw Nancy changing a diaper. Her little one was making noises, but not crying. I suppose since she was getting attention that was what she wanted. Wanting to watch what the process was, I turned on my back and propped my head up on a folded pillow. After she changed the diaper, she put the infant back into the...
Steve We had eaten a great supper and were all relaxing on the patio when Wanda came to get me. She asked if we could go somewhere to talk. Not knowing what was up, I took her to Sue's offices in the other end of the trailer from the bedrooms. Wanda and I sat down and she said, "Steve, I don't know what to do. I talked to Chuck this morning and he's been shot. Lisa, Nightfox, and him, were all shot. He says they're not too serious, but I'm not sure about that. When I called our base...
Steve I had just kissed Sue goodbye when she left the airpark to go to work and Chuck was inside the hangar going over evidence. This was going to be a busy day. Turning back to the charter office, I found a new person at the desk. "Hi, Charlotte, I thought Star was working this morning." "No Sir, Star is right seat on the G5 out there leaving in a few minutes. If you need to talk to her, she's probably on the aircraft now." "That's okay, I'm sure she's fine. Do we have the other...
Steve, Sunday mornings are always fun around home. Chuck showed up with his crew, dressed to stimulate as much as my ladies did. As breakfast was eaten, Chuck said, "I want play with the new boat. What do you think, Steve, could we take it out for a while?" People heard Chuck's request and were speaking up, "Yeah, take us out on the new boat." "Let's see if Chuck can captain his new boat." "Come on Steve and Mercy; let's help Chuck check out his boat." Sue rolled her eyes and...
Steve Now that Chuck was back from hiding out in the Gulf, life around home seemed to be getting back to normal. He was busy with a bunch of federal people and his prisoners were all transported to DC where they would be held or given an option to be bailed out. I told Chuck that I didn't care what happened, as long as they left me and my company alone. Tiny told me that a major military supplier was negotiating to have us produce bodies for their equipment. That is what we wanted in the...
Steve Three weeks later Wes was sitting on an overturned bucket, staring at the right wing of the parts that Jeff's team had molded before he had been hired. He had been determined to have this bunch of parts flying within a week or two. No such luck. He kept finding flaws in how the pieces fit together. He kept checking the blueprints that were downloaded from the internet with the finished product, and found the pre-made parts to be exact to the print. The problem was they didn't fit,...
Chuck This party is an amazing testament to all of the girls' ability to organize, plan, and carry through to their objective. There were many people who showed up that I would not have expected. John, the Marshal, and their families came followed shortly by Dewey and his family. I was honored to have him here, as that man has some "cool." I had to ask John and the Marshal, "I thought you two were staying down in Costa Rica?" John answered, "I wanted to surprise you. You know we had...
Chuck I was on my way to Cut Bank, Montana. Way up in northern Montana. My Aunt Etta-Mae had called saying she was in trouble. Lisa had just asked me to tell her what was really happening. The cabin satellite phone was ringing. Julie went to answer it and looked up at me. I told her I could transfer the call to my headset. "Johnson." "Is this Charles Johnson?" I told the voice, "It is. Most call me Chuck." "Chuck, you have an aunt named Etta-Mae Johnson, right?" Being wary I...
Chuck Waking up in a strange bed, or in this case, on a strange couch is disconcerting. I had to look around to find my leg before going to the bathroom. As I traversed to the toilet, I thought I smelled coffee brewing. When I left the bathroom, I went straight to the kitchen and found Julie and Missy sitting at the big kitchen table with fresh cups in front of them. In a chair across from them was a steaming cup of coffee. Julie smiled, pointed to it, and said, "Good morning,...
Steve Last night had been strange. Chuck was in a fight, no that wasn't right. He really didn't have a fight. That monster guy attacked him, and Chuck just tossed him. He did whack the guy in the nose, but it could have been the heel of the hand into the nose, a killing blow. We all learned that one. That wrist thing Chuck did was so quick that it was just something that happened as the big guy went over the top of him. I was sitting drinking that first cup of coffee contemplating what...
As soon as we all made it back to Mac's after the kidnapping, Sue, Mercy, and Kathy cornered me. Sue said, "You shouldn't have been involved in that. You are the father to a bunch of kids with another on the way. What in the world were you thinking?" Before I could answer, Mercy said, "I know you felt you had to help Chuck, and we all love him, but you have to be careful, Steve. We need you, we don't need you hurt." Kathy actually defended me, "Steve is a man. He has to defend his...
Steve I woke up several times during the night, hearing things that were normal sounds. Sure wish Chuck had stayed, I would have felt a lot more secure. Funny how a guy like that can make you feel safe. He's just a guy, a one- legged guy with a crooked smile, who is as friendly as a kitten. He can be vicious when he's on the job though. Drinking coffee at 5:55 in the morning is a good way to enjoy the day. I called down to the gate guard to see how everything was going and he said that...
Steve (Tuesday) Mercy and I were in the restaurant early, having coffee, when a couple of salt and pepper guys came in. I stood and both came toward me with their hands stuck out to shake. They sat with us and were brought coffee. Bud Anderson, said, "I've been working on this case for a year and thought we had most of it put to bed. There must be more to it, as you've turned up a significant group here in Nevada." Jim said, "Chuck split me off as his backup a while back to work with...
Chuck A few days later, we were passing Gibraltar. Everyone on board was out on deck to view the sight that was so familiar from the kids' geography books, the thick yellow National Geographic magazine pictorials, and advertising. The iconic view we all remember from the Prudential Insurance ads, though, is visible only from one angle, on the Mediterranean side of the Rock. Fortunately, our course kept that view in sight for quite a while. Gibraltar looks unrecognizably different from...
Steve As I passed through the galley, I was confronted by Glenda, still in her robe. I asked, "Are you going to stay in today?" Glenda said, "I think Martin and I have been overdoing it. The scooter thing we did yesterday helped, but we were both so tired last night that we thought we should stay home and rest a little. I can spend the day doing some dusting, and I need to wash some clothes for my man. The two of us could use the rest. I thought I might give home a call this afternoon to...
Chuck The last baby had been fed her middle of the night feeding, and I was really deep asleep. Lisa was shaking me. When I came out of my fog, I heard her say, "Your cell phone is ringing. Hope that isn't a problem." I got up from bed and hopped into my closet/dressing area to retrieve my phone from the tray I put pocket junk in. "Johnson," "You son of a gun, we did just like you've been doing and let it ride, all of it, we kept letting it ride. Brother Chuck, Tiny and I have hit...
Steve On Monday and Tuesday, Sue and I went through our local plants, visiting with the managers and workers, assuring them of what a great job they were doing. A highlight of the visits was my time spent in the recently expanded R&D building. The new guy, Sandy Flowers, had become an integral part of the team there. After setting up software to track testing and modifications, Sandy had begun helping Gerry on one of her quests to create a special polymer composite that would resist...
Chuck Life was settling down all around. I was just doing the usual office work with no flying everywhere on an almost daily basis for a change. John Scott seemed to have settled down in DC and was enjoying his job again. I had the flying lessons and was checked out in the new Citation X but had no reason to go anywhere. The charter company used it once for a quick trip to San Diego and back, but Lisa took that one. She said it was great to have an aircraft that could fly that far, that...
Steve Oh, what a night! My lovely ladies must have thought I needed the attention as they were absolutely on fire. I think they were trying to help me set a record as they all had some of my loving and started over again. The surprise among the players was a sneaky person, as all of a sudden, when Mercy fell to the side, two large bazooms were in my face and they did not belong to Sue. Sue's mother was sitting on my pride and joy, smiling down at me. She said, "Oh, Steve, this feels so...
Chuck How can that be? My cell phone is ringing. I don't remember leaving it on. Jesus, who could be calling at, I lifted my head to see it was six thirty? I was on the outside of the pile of female flesh, so I was able to get up and hop to the table where my pocket stuff and cell phone was. "Hello." A sort of familiar voice said, "Hey, Chuck, how're you and that sweet Lisa doing?" Trying to figure out who this was I said, "We're all fine, ah, who is this?" "Hey man, this is...
Chuck Sunday mornings are fun out at the park. The women wear near nothing, driving us men crazy. I anticipated a good time. When I woke and began my exercises, John joined me on a treadmill, followed by some weights. He said, "It sure would be nice to have you close by. We could workout together. It's a lot more fun to do this stuff when you have a buddy." About that time, Lisa, Brandy, and Tiani came in and began using the other treadmill and the stationary bikes. Little Tiani said,...
Chuck Sunday Waking up in a strange place is always weird, but this is too much. I'm hugging someone different, my hand is around a soft full breast, and if what I feel is real, I'm balls deep in a very juicy unfamiliar pussy that is sliding slowly back and forth. I can feel breath on my shoulder and hear Lisa breathing. She has a little catch to her breathing when she is sleeping and when she's excited. But her hand is holding and squeezing my balls so she is probably not...
Steve We picked up a nice wind the first day out. There was a low pressure area stalled to the northeast of us, providing us with an almost direct stiff wind from the south-southeast. If we can keep this up, we'll be home in four days easy. Chuck had the helm this morning and seemed to be contemplative about going home. I went up and handed him a fresh mug of coffee. "What's on your mind, Guy, anything to worry about?" Chuck smiled and said, "I love being out on the water, but I...
Steve It was after seven when I woke up to an empty bed. I was still sleepy, but got up to at least start the day with everyone. When I sat down and joined the regulars with a cup of coffee, Sue came over and kissed me good morning, "Morning, Sleepyhead. I know you didn't get back until after four, but it's unusual for you to sleep late." "If there was not so much to do today, I would just go back to sleep for a while," I said, looking around while hugging my wonderful wife. "I see...
Steve Perhaps things are getting back to normal, or for what may pass as normal lately, and that has been near chaos. Everyone at the shop that had some activity to report visited with me, until Ruth looked in on me and said, "Its lunch time, and Sue has called to make sure you come home. DeDe said you are scheduled for a flying lesson this afternoon too. What's that about? I thought you could fly already." "I can, Ruth, but I need to be checked out in the new aircraft, and I have to...
Steve I feel as if everything is going faster. Time was rushing by the closer it comes to the time for us to sail. When I woke up Monday morning, I felt a sense of urgency to get up, do something, prepare for something, to take care of last minute anything. Mercy hugged me and whispered, "Relax, everything is taken care of. You have wonderful people who will take care of everything while you're gone. They can call you anytime, and can even e-mail you with pictures or other information, if...
Steve I had slipped out of bed while the girls were all sleeping soundly. Sue raised her head, smiled at me, looked at the clock, and lay her head back down. While I was taking a quick shower, Kathy joined me and was very amorous this morning. It wasn't long before the shower degenerated into doing her while she leaned against the wall. When we both successfully and enjoyably completed our coupling, we clung to each other as the water rained on us. Kathy said, "This is nice. Sometimes I...
Steve Monday mornings are always fun. Everyone is getting started on a new week, with new energy, new ideas, and new motivation. My first task was to return a stack of non-urgent calls that had come in the previous Friday. The first was that the St. Louis cart plant was concerned their production was not keeping up with orders. The easy solution was to ship the extra production from Florida since the local plant was working at less than sixty percent capacity. I think the St. Louis plant...
Chuck For me to not sleep well means there is a crisis. I guess there were many crises going on. It was just after five, but I was wide awake, so I slipped from bed, used the bathroom, mounted my peg and went outside to relax by forming for a few minutes. I was concerned about getting the cash and gold down to Ben in Costa Rica. If I could get out of here with all of it, I could leave here and fly direct. I might have to pull some tricks in Costa Rica to get the stuff to a bank, but I...
Chuck This had been a busy day. We docked in Ireland this morning and have been busy all day. The kids demanded a lot of Lisa’s and my time, as they wanted the two us to help the Irish kids to learn what they had learned. The Irish kids were lucky to have Serene to teach them at home, since she was a lot more accomplished than I had thought. That was the fun part, and then there were Julie’s adult kids. Sue had made the call for me so they could take the ferry to Ireland, be here for the...
Steve Thursday Tiny, Sue's dad Ben, and I were in the helicopter shop with Bret and Carter. Tiny handed each of the two men a check and said, "That's exactly half each of all the numbers we agreed upon. If you two have some cross debt, handle it yourselves. We can put a fork in this deal." Bret said, "You should have heard that asshole from Alcam when I told him I'd already sold out. He cussed and threatened me until I finally hung up on him. He called back and demanded to know who...
Chuck There was a noise in the room. I couldn’t place it right away, but I finally realized it was my cell phone that was still in my pants pocket. I moved over Tiani and Lena and hopped to my pants. I pulled the phone from the pocket, flipped it open, and said, “Johnson.” The voice was very dry, very curt, “We have a job for you. You need to be in DC in four hours.” I said, “Who are you?” The voice once again with a very curt response, “We have a job for you. Get in your plane and get...
Steve My pile of women was surrounding me, with Sue doing her sleeping best to smother me between her triple Zs. No boobs are that big, but Sue has enough for three or four women. Don't you just love those big balloons? I sure do. I slid to the edge of the bed without waking anyone, but knew that we needed to get up and get going this morning. We have to leave around seven-thirty. I stretched before beginning to gently wake the women. Oops, there were two extras next to Juanita. Trixie...
Steve I rolled over and almost rolled off the bed. My movement, while catching myself at the last minute, woke Sue who looked at me funny. She smiled at me and asked, "What are you doing up? You were on duty until two this morning! Sleep a little more." I looked at the clock and said, "It's already six and we should be near port by now. I want to be up when we enter that lagoon at the yacht club. Chuck probably won't have a problem but I should probably be there to help tie up. Let's...
Chuck I checked on Lisa as soon as I woke up. Yesterday's encounter was too close to the confrontation on the island. This time it wasn't her adrenaline that got her, it was the cruelty of the men who had been dumped into the sea. It's hard to believe people could just kill the young couple and make the parents watch them get tossed overboard. It makes me shudder. Then that poor older woman, about Missy's and Beth's age, just walked out and shot those men in the head. There could have...
Steve As I opened my eyes, I realized it was Wednesday and we would be sailing in a week. That almost scared me, thinking there were suddenly too many loose ends for me to be taking off like that. As I thought about it a little more, I realized that it will always be that way, and that's why we have good people working for us. I sat up and made a decision, the guys needed to get on their horses, or airplane in this case, and get over to Hawaii as they needed to be back at home while I'm...
Steve Ah, Wednesday morning! I was still half-asleep, but knew something was happening today. I sat up straight and said, loud enough to disturb the sleep of the ladies next to me, "We're going sailing today!" Mercy rolled over, looking up at me while stretching, and said, "Only because Chuck is back." I asked, "He is? Did he call last night?" "No, Silly, he came home while we were playing up at the hot tub. His girls should have called, and may have tried, but I think they were...
Steve The girls have been all over me for letting Mark be everywhere, helping as many people as he could, and I had not put him on the payroll. Crystal should have done that, but she didn't really know whether he was going to be full time or part time. Ruth sort of made up my mind, as she signed him up as a full time employee with the employee benefit plan. I suppose that was alright, but you never knew. My cell phone rang, "Steve here." "Steve, this is Chuck. Can I use your shop up...
Chuck Julie whispered into my ear, "It's almost four. Get up and get a shower to get your motor running." When I slid from bed and checked the clock, it was only three thirty. Wonder why so early. I can do everything necessary in five minutes flat. As I slipped from bed, peed, and started the shower, a sexy older, or more mature, lady stepped under the spray with me. Julie whispered some more as she held on to my growing interest. "I need you, Lover; you make me feel so good, so alive....
Steve Life around the park and S&S is going very well. The family was busy getting the kids through their current school year so they could be free of most classes while on the coming sailing adventure. Chuck is busy with some kind of intense investigation out in Omaha that has him tied up for a while. Mercy is acting worried, so whatever Chuck is doing has her concerned. Lisa and Mercy have been seen huddled together, obviously discussing what they know Chuck is involved in. The...
Steve Monday As soon as everyone was eating breakfast this morning, I checked with Abe about the engine he had been working on for our entry into the light sport aircraft market. So far, the engine showed it was generating between 115 and 125 horsepower. This would put it in competition with the Rotax 914 or the Continental engine. We knew that the Rotax engine retailed for about thirty five grand and the Continental for around twenty, but Abe figured we could sell ours, fully certified,...
Chuck I awoke when the clock clicked over to five thirty. My internal clock was working as always. As I moved from between Lisa and Tina, Tina raised her head, "Do you have to get up so early? I don't have to go in until nine this morning." Lisa also woke up and told her, "The man is flying to his islands this morning with all of the investors and architects. I'm sure he's strung pretty tight this morning." Tina grinned at me and patted the bed, "Lie down here, Lover, and let me...
Chuck When we woke up the next morning, I went up to the galley and made coffee. Up in the main salon, I opened the sliding door to a cacophony of birds in the nearby trees. I watched a turtle run down a log into the water, and even saw a set of eyes back in the mangroves looking for something to eat. Lisa brought me a mug of coffee and we sat out on the deck, looking around at the peaceful setting. A boat would come down or go up the river, but we were fairly obscured and someone would...
