Olivia and Ciaron first discussion
Later they got together to talk, Olivia was dying to know about this woman who had obviously impressed David and Ciaron was fascinated by her in return; she could see so much of her mother in her. They found a quiet room with a coffee in hand and started out discussing generalities. Eventually Ciaron can’t resist asking, “You didn’t enjoy that little scene last night, why did you do it?”
“It wasn’t supposed to happen like that, I was going to tease David and then hand over to Nina who wanted them both but then I saw you and well something inside just took over, but I was still uncomfortable and when the nurse came I was somehow relieved to leave.”
Ciaron felt she should explain her interest “You see, I never saw my mother able to take herself back until she had pushed my father away and I wasn’t sure if you tried to do that last night or not. Then I wondered how that could be if he wasn’t yours to push away?” Olivia looked like the question might have been too personal so Ciaron quickly continued. “You see, I have spent my life trying to understand why I lost my mother and I’m hoping you will be kind enough to help me to understand. I know now that it wasn’t entirely her fault but it seemed to me that she never tried to be better for him, then I saw you and you seem to have found something, perhaps only a little something.”
“Is that why you came with David?”
“No, I came because for the first time I can remember, I have been having a ball”
Olivia smiled indulgently and said sadly, “He is something isn’t he?”
“That he is, are you and I going to be friends or adversaries?”
“I’d like to say adversaries but then my devil will make sure I do something awful and that will be that again, so I hope we will be friends.”
“Do you mind if I study you? I have never been able to practise my knowledge although I try to keep up with advances in the science.”
“Not at all, I rather wrecked much of my treatment, it’s still ongoing, but I would welcome a second input as long as it’s on confidential terms.”
“Thank you.”
“You know that it could interfere with your relationship with David don’t you, I have a habit of pushing people away.”
“I was pretty sure you would.”
“So the pursuit of your Mums problem is something more then?”
“We’ll see, I don’t think he is quite ready for any kind of exclusivity, do you?”
“Perhaps not, he already has a dozen who would like to be and more waiting.”
“It’s really hard for an outsider to understand but if I take this new role I would like to try and find out what makes this group tick.”
“Would you like to do the job?”
“Probably, but he is going to have to stew a bit first, I’m not ready to forgive him for dropping it on me like that, by a long chalk.”
Olivia smiled indulgently. “He’s like that, gets carried away sometimes when he has one of his ideas, it’s part of his charm, you’ll get used to it. But that’s not to say he should get away with it, just don’t leave it too long.”
Ciaron grinned back conspiratorially.
“So are you going to join the orgy tonight if there is one?”
“He hasn’t told me much about it.”
“Well usually Jo and a few of the naughtier ones start getting frisky about now during the photo shoot and it all gets out of hand and ends up on the huge bed.”
“I’ve never tried anything like it.”
“Very few of us had, it has kind of evolved, nothing’s compulsory but some of our visitors love it, all the toys come out and it’s just one big glorious fun time.”
“Does David get involved?”
“Do you think they give him a choice?”
“Ohh, yes I see.”
“They have all found their own way of getting a piece of him I think, and Sundays is their time for filling up the tank, if you get my meaning.”
“It’s hard for an outsider to reconcile.”
I know, it’s my fault really.
How so?
“In the beginning it was about me, he has no problem with me having sex with women, so along came Ana and triggered it and then came Jane and at first I wouldn’t let her have him and kept her to myself. And so it went on, but then it became more, Bree just wanted somewhere to escape to and feel good about herself, so did Jo in a different way but she formed an immediate bond with us both. So as the story goes on, he always said this is my harem.”
Ciaron was rearranging her first conceptions fast and swearing at herself for unprofessionally assuming everything at face value. There was a lot more to this than she imagined.
Olivia continued “That’s now a complete over-simplification because everything has changed, then changed again and continues to do so. The people here have found meaning to lives that they never imagined. Erika is studying what she always wanted but her family had no time for a girl’s education. Amber was stuck in a mundane job and now she’s administering a fledgling business. Bree was a bored housewife and you’ve heard what she is achieving. Rachel was going nowhere just trying to get a foot on the ladder and now she’s our representative to all the building authorities.”
“Wow! These ladies have been lucky through adversity.”
“A lot of it is about David, he seems to see the best in people and then trusts them, and somehow they always pay back his trust.”
“I can see there is a great deal for me to learn if I am going to do this job, it seems like I’m another one of his finds.”
Olivia smiled indulgently “You have to find out for yourself. We had a newspaper reporter worm her way in here once that couldn’t see the wood for the trees, all she could see was the quick story when maybe her skills could have done so much more with us”
“What happened to her?”
“She wanted to write a story that would have wrecked our whole principle of being a haven from abusive husbands or others; David had to step in I think. I was probably on one of my selfish ‘sex adventures,’ to put it nicely, at the time, so I don’t know the whole story. But in another way it did the Retreats a big favour because it put so much more emphasis on privacy and security, Tania and Christina would probably not be here otherwise.”
Ciaron laughed, “He made me sign the papers before he would tell me anything.”
“Yep, there can be no exceptions.”
“Are you not going to join with the others now?”
“Technically I am not a member because David sent me away, then I came back to have our baby, they wouldn’t stop me of course but by abusing David I am sure that I have lost their respect.”
“That’s a shame; I was hoping you might take me to see what is going on at some point.”
“Don’t get me wrong, that’s not a problem, in fact they will expect me to, but I’m not sure you’re in the right frame of mind right now.”
“No, I would rather hear about you, your life and how you got to where you are now.”
The coffee became a glass of wine and then something alcohol free and they talked into the night. No one bothered them except the nurse, at which time they both went to carry on talking while Olivia breastfed her baby and then sat cradling and even allowed Ciaron to help with the burping. David popped in to take a look and have a private moment with the babies, and Mums came and spent time. But everyone seemed to realise that their conversation wasn’t to be interrupted. Eventually, the babies were nicely asleep and they crept out to continue their conversation elsewhere. When they came back a few hours later, they found David flat out fast asleep on one of the nursing beds surrounded by sleeping babies and an indulgent nurse in a chair close by, keeping an eye on them.
****************************************************
David – a new week
So a new week arrived and David’s first priority was to get someone back to San Francisco to follow up the good work already done. At first, Olivia was extremely reluctant to leave the baby but Ciaron offered to return with her and the baby. He hummed and hawed over it, not happy about letting the baby out of reach, but eventually he was persuaded. Speaking to Olivia and Ciaron who was now virtually shadowing her, he said he wanted Ciaron to be on hand if Olivia had to go to meetings so suggested that they take a nurse as well. ‘If this comes off’ he thought to himself, it will be worth it. His next task was to speak to Aleesha, he asked her to check out Ciaron and a man named Greg Porter. “You should be able to get the information from Arthur, tell him I asked but it’s just to be between us three.”
He decided then to talk to Ana about her long term plans and tried for a meet at lunchtime. Surprisingly she was able to be available at short notice and they found a table at the Watering Hole. David thought he ought to check if there was anything in her personal affairs that needed to be cleared first, not having had a chance to talk with her and Zoe the previous day.
“Shall we start with what’s on your mind first?” he asked.
“I know you gave your ‘Yes’ David, but everything got a bit out of hand. Zoe got a bit drunk I think and wanted to try a foursome so I went along with her wishes. Afterwards when I came down to earth I thought that I might have stepped over the line, especially as you saw us.”
“Is there anything else on your mind?” he said, encouraging her as best he could.
“I am not sure what that might include.”
“Just relationship issues, if you were planning any major changes in your life I need to know before I move to the next matter that I want to discuss.”
“No it’s much the same, Zoe has gone from being almost reclusive to wanting to be in an orgy regularly. I am still trying to reconcile myself to that idea.”
“I was surprised to see you and she with the two guys, I must admit it’s one step further than expected. I also haven’t quite got my head around it yet.” He continued. “As far as I can tell, Zoe is not ‘my girl’ in the sense the others are, so my concern could only be for you and I have to admit to being worried. In other respects at the moment I am ok.”
She looked a little relieved at that, “Things have changed with you I think.”
“Yes I suppose, the only thing that worries me at this moment is how to prevent our Retreat becoming known as a fun club instead of what it is supposed to be. Maybe I am overthinking it but I wonder if such events should be away from the refuge of the Retreat in future. But let’s put that to one side for another time.”
She looked at him expectantly.
He started, “Question first if I may. You are qualified at the same level as Olivia?”
“I am, as far as I understand from what we have discussed, she has mainly gone on to design for new buildings whereas I have mainly been involved in re-designing for existing buildings in a city.”
“Have you ever considered whether you would like to join our side?”
“I don’t think my employer would like to hear me considering that,” she smiled, playing for time while thinking fast.
“Fair enough, I have been thinking that we would need another designer longer term and the current situation with Olivia has focused my attention earlier than I expected. It’s my own fault, I should have thought more about the impact of pregnancy, particularly where Olivia is concerned.”
“When had you expected that someone else would be needed?”
“I was expecting to face the question at the end of the first year, our progress has been phenomenal really, but some of it has been self-generated, such as our own development, then Ohio, then my Grandmothers then Tania’s. I think we currently have 8 at some stage or another and we have hardly got started.”
“Phew! I had lost track of what you guys were doing.”
“I don’t know what you heard but I have a feeling that the San Francisco project could be a hot one and I have to send Olivia out with Ciaron and a Nurse. It means I have no-one out looking for new opportunities and with the project time of say 12 months we need to get plenty in hand. Of course in a perfect world I could have someone part time to start with and build up to full time.”
“Let me talk to my employers to see how busy we are over the next 12 months.”
“Okay I can’t ask for more than that and more importantly when will you be home again?” he said with a wink.
“Why Mr Thurlow, I can’t think what you might be suggesting,” she said, playing the naïve girl of virtue.
“I can suggest quite a lot,” he smirked.
At least she blushed a little. “Rain check?”
“Ok Rain check it is.”
About an hour later back at the office Rachel came in, “We have been advised of an interesting land sale down in Texas, what do you want to do?”
He sighed “Get someone to get me booked and see if Ruth can come.”
“Is it Ok if I ask Dee to handle the arrangements, or one of the others?”
“That’s fine; just ask them to liaise with me please.”
She grimaced at him in sympathy and headed out of his office.
“Ohh Rachel, have you got a minute to talk ‘time’ with me, if not right now then later?”
“I’ll make some time boss,” she smiled back cheekily.
“Any more cheek from you my lass and it will be Master.”
“Ooh la la and what would Master have me do?”
“Don’t you dare me my girl; I’m in the mood to think of something really naughty.”
Rachael would have loved to have dared, but she really did have a huge pile of work on her desk. “Hah” she said, “we’ll see if you feel the same later.”
A call came into his mobile, it was Ruth, “I hear you need my body in Texas.”
“You have been reading my mind again.”
“Love to, but I need to book it quickly before someone else nabs me.”
“I’ve got someone working on the flights etc, give me a moment.” He threw open his office door, without looking he said loudly “Dee are you booking Texas?” As one, everyone there put a finger to their mouth. “Ohh sorry” he whispered.
He went back to Ruth, Dees booking as we speak, book the days and someone will confirm soon. He rushed out to leave a message on Dee’s Desk, Texas, 2 seats I room, 😊 Ruth’s coming with me.
He went back to the plans he was working on, he needed to get something that Olivia could work from ready by tomorrow. He messaged her. If I get some plans done by tonight, could you draft what you need for the meeting, ready to go by Friday or maybe the following Monday. By the way, don’t arrange to go to her house to stay, I would rather you get a taxi from the airport than risk being with her husband whatever Ciaron might say.
His phone rang shortly after, “Ciaron doesn’t agree about her husband being a risk.”
“I bet she doesn’t. I’ve changed my mind, get the drawings done, I will go myself on Monday.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I know what so-called mild mannered men do when they get served by a divorce document; I am not risking you and the baby for anything”
For some reason she thought absurd, Olivia came off the phone with a warm feeling after that call.
Ana’s employers response
David worked late on the outline plans but was about to pack up when Ana called. “I’ve spoken to my firm; things are a bit quiet so they are prepared to sub me out as long as you pay my salary.”
“Which is?”
David gulped when he heard the figure and went silent.
“David, are you there?”
“Yes, I’m afraid that’s too much for someone who isn’t ready to go.”
“I told them you would say that and I told them that it was still a good deal for them at Fifty-fifty.”
“When could you start?”
“Next week maybe.”
“I need you to spend some time with Olivia when she has finished the drawings she will be working on. I will be giving her the outline plan tonight if I carry on working here a bit longer, then she can work up the designs for next Monday. Do you fancy a trip to San Fran next week?”
“With you, not a chance, we will never get any work done.”
He laughed heartily.
“So you will be there for a while?”
“Yes Rachel is supposed to be coming in for a ‘punishment’ sometime, but she’s up to her eyes in work too.”
“Sounds interesting, I might pop in to help.”
“Please be my guest.”
She laughed too, “I’ll see, I have to check that Zoe is not planning anything.”
Arthur questions research on Ciaron and Greg Porter
Almost before he put that call down, his phone rang again, it was Arthur
“What’s going on David, Aleesha tells me she is looking into the guy who was at the party, are you thinking one got past me.”
“Not for one minute Arthur, it’s something else I’m afraid, I’ll send you an excerpt from the cameras Saturday night, I think he is one from Olivia’s past.”
“Ohh, David surely not, what has she got to benefit from it anymore?”
“Full custody of my son!”
“What, no way!”
“Don’t be offended Arthur but that is so naïve, please don’t be fooled.”
“OK I respect your senses, how could I not, from what I’ve seen.”
“You will come across a new lady called Ciaron who is staying with us, she lost her Mum with the same illness, and she’ll tell you that people afflicted with the problem will do anything to get what they want. We have a big deal in process with Ciaron, but there are question marks against her husband. I also worry about anyone who comes under Olivia’s spell. I would really appreciate it if you would check them out before we get too committed to the deal.”
David continued, “When I saw what was happening after the party, Olivia looked like she was making love to that Greg guy as if he was someone special. I can’t be absolutely sure but I suspect she didn’t know that I was watching. Of course it would be just like her to set it up for me to see as part of some scheme. Who knows what’s going on in her head, it could be a long term lover or a new flame she might be with for a while, but why would she be secretive and scheming? As I said, there’s only one thing left that she could want, my son.” At the other end of the connection, Arthur looked shocked as David continued, “So please pull out the stops and see what you can find in our records.”
“I’m sorry David; I shouldn’t doubt your instincts.”
So the week rolled on, David was exceptionally busy with his ladies, as well as work, and thus he barely spoke to Ciaron in passing.
First look at Texas – David & Ruth
David and Ruth rushed to Texas and looked at an interesting piece of land but became worried that they were being drawn into a bidding war. They paid a quiet visit to see the Mayor and told him about their ideas, the meeting rolled on and it became lunch and then mid-afternoon before the Mayor said that he was satisfied that he had a good idea of what the project was about. He asked to see an example, at which they broke for coffee while Ruth arranged for photographs and video of the first Retreat to be emailed across. The view of the Hotel approach seemed to fire up the Mayor who asked an off the cuff question. “What design would you expect here in Texas?” Ruth answered that they had found from previous schemes that either one of two ideas seemed to be favoured, either a grand house in the style of an important local building or something along the lines of the White House or some other national building of importance. The Mayor looked very thoughtful then brought their meeting to an end and suggested they leave it with him, but asking, “which Hotel are you staying in?” Answering and thanking him for his time, they advised the Mayor that they would be in town for at least another day and promptly retired to their hotel for a stiff drink or two and a hoped for night of passion.
Jane resolving Nina’s future
Jane was wondering how she was going to deal with the Enigma that was Nina. She tried the relaxed approach, “You know David tries to involve us in all that is going on, where do you see yourself fitting in?”
Nina had a good idea where this was going, David had already tried, and she also knew what she was “Got any suggestions for sex mad sluts?”
“I hate to think”
Nina raised an eyebrow.
“I think you ‘hide your light under a bushel’ as the saying goes. I don’t blame you but do you think that there is something you might really enjoy doing?”
“Twisting men around my little finger!?” she tried ‘tongue in cheek.’
“So meeting and greeting, showing these rich men around, keeping them happy, do you think that might be your cup of tea?”
“Do I get to bed the good looking ones?”
“If you’re careful I guess yes, but they will be worried about disease and such like.”
Jane could see her thinking about it; she understood that she was a creature of her desires who should have been married to a lusty man with endless needs or maybe a whole platoon! “I think you need to upgrade your image if you want to do that.”
“Is he putting the pressure on?”
“No, I think he is disappointed that he hasn’t found your place in life aside from sex. I suppose you could charge for what you do online or you could be a porno actress but I think he would be very disappointed if that happened to you.”
“The trouble with me is that it’s always been my way of getting what I want.”
“I understand, but we all get older and you’re not going to get away with it forever.”
“Don’t I know it, I am just not clever like all you others.”
“Now you know that’s not true, let me run this past you and think about it, it’s just my idea, no one else has thought of it or mentioned it.”
“Go on.”
“There’s going to be a need to centrally control all those rich men who want someone to organise their accommodation, their gym time, or their golf tee time, maybe a company jet or helicopter. Possibly, even arrange an escort to a function or something. Do you know what I mean? There would be a lot of learning to do, tracking down all these things and talking to our Retreat sites but it’s early days at the moment and time to do the groundwork.”
Jane wondered for a moment if she had captured Nina’s interest, it was really a last chance for her although she wouldn’t say so, she had to pull her weight somehow, everyone else did. “I’ll leave you to think,” she said.
A few hours later Jane was in her office in one of the outbuildings, in between times of looking after her baby and making sure that the Retreat had all it needed, she was helping the Function Business and the Developments going on around the country. Everyone knew she was irreplaceable and tried hard not to push their luck but inevitably did. From pots and pans to clothes and bedding, Jane was the go to for the Retreat occupants and the word was getting out to the other retreats that were coming online. Florida was very much up and running and Ohio was there all bar the staffing for which training and interviewing was underway, it was a steep learning curve for everyone.
Nina slipped in the door imperceptibly, almost frightened to disturb her. Eventually Jane looked up from what she was doing, “That idea you had, where would I start?”
“I reckon a good idea would be to sit down and make a list of all the things you can think of that these customers may want, you can use my list to start off if you want but leave space for all the off shoots. Like for example cars, they might need a jet or a helicopter but they’d need a car to get there, so you could start a list of all the high class car services you can find in the area of the sites we have coming on line, do you see what I mean?”
“So I could make a list of escort services and maybe the best restaurants”
“Yep and when you are quiet you could get the go ahead to check them out, you’ll maybe need to get some training as a gourmet food tester but I’m sure you would get support for that. It’s going to be a big list but if you need help, just ask.”
“You?”
“Or David or Ruth or maybe Ciaron if she turns out to be any good for the golf side.”
“Sounds like an enormous task.”
“It might be, but very rewarding when people tell you how much they appreciate your help.”
Nina nodded as if agreeing to something in her own mind. “You know, I think I could like this, are you sure I’d get support?”
“I think David would be delighted, Ruth too, she needs someone to take the calls away from the Hotel staff. Why don’t you sit at that spare desk and start your list thinking.”
“I will, can I use it for a while until I get myself sorted?”
“Of course, when you’re ready we’ll work out a set up just for your purposes but I would be glad to have some company. Would I be pushing my luck for you to take calls when I’m feeding the baby?”
Jane knew she was overstating it a bit as well as pushing her luck but she would be delighted if she could make Nina a success, as probably would everybody else. Later when Nina had gone off to do some research, Jane called David to update him on what she was trying to achieve. Her heart was gladdened when he said, “Jane you are a wonder, I would never have thought it possible, anything you need just let me know,” and Ruth was even more effusive “Ohh Jane that would be such a useful service to have if we can make it work, I don’t know how we can make it pay but anything that reduced demand on reception staff would be fantastic.”
Jane decided she would garner the support of a few of the others too, to generate interest and excitement for Nina that would hopefully be long lasting. Little did they know how big this role could become.
Olivia wonders about Ciaron & Ana
On Thursday, Olivia thought that Ciaron looked a bit down, “What’s up?” she asked.
“Nothing much, just wondering if I should go back home, apart from spending time with you it’s been a waste of time, I’ve seen nothing of David.”
Olivia tried to seem sympathetic and in truth, it was good to have company. It was just that having someone in her pocket could be a bit restricting if she was always around, she had a private life of her own but didn’t want David to know everything. So she decided to be helpful for now and see if she couldn’t work something out, although Greg was becoming impatient and so were one or two of her other lovers. But Greg was good that Saturday night, he made love to her and she liked that, made a change from most men she hooked up with, he might be just the man she needed if he fell in love with her, if only he could make her orgasm, she sighed wistfully.
Olivia was also worried about Ana, she is spending a lot of time with her talking design, as Olivia works to get the project finished for next week. Ana also seems to be going through all the files understanding how they worked. Olivia has a problem she knows, ‘Having her cake and eat it,’ now looks nigh on impossible. For now, she thought she would take each day as it comes but then she wondered, was he moving Ana in to replace her? If so she might have to move up her plan.
***********************************************************
Jane, Bree and Jo need more staff
Jane, Bree and Jo were in conference, it was becoming increasingly difficult to combine being a good Mum with holding up their position within the group. They were trying to decide who could step up to help or even take over some of the work they do. They had decided that Lauren could definitely do more short term if she was prepared to move from working with cars. Aside from that they didn’t know, they supposed Ver was a possibility but Jo didn’t know much about what she did, she promised to find out. They wondered if Tania and Christina might be prepared to help out but supposed that was unlikely. Bree wondered about her friend Marlene whom she had always thought was the well organised type, they marked her down as a possibility to follow up. They wondered if they could borrow Dee but that would leave the office short staffed. From among their friends who were there at the weekend, they knew Molly and Kim were looking for a good reason to spend more time with them so they decided to follow up to find out what they did. There was also the woman that David liked, Fay.
Who to do the following up? That was the question, they themselves were completely swamped. Perhaps Ana would help them out and then they thought of Zoe and wondered if that might be an issue. They decided to talk to David when he returned, hopefully by the weekend, meanwhile they decided to ask Arthur if he could find out more background workwise on the possible people within their circle. Jane wandered into Arthurs office leaving the other two with her call button just in case the babe got fractious, she found him surprisingly busy and noticed Ciaron’s name on his desk and Greg’s.
He caught her looking. “Something we should know about these two?” Jane asked.
“No, I didn’t quite finish my checks on them and one or two others, nothing to worry about. Wouldn’t like people to think otherwise, so ‘mum’s’ the word.”
“Why those two?”
“You know Jane that if you know I’m looking into somebody there’s a chance something might come out by accident.”
“I do, I just want to be sure that I shouldn’t be more careful with Ciaron.”
“Don’t know for sure, David just wanted the highest level checks if she is going to be taking on a lot of responsibility”
“That makes sense I suppose. That other guy doesn’t mean much to me though, was he at the party?”
“Yes, he was asked late so I only managed to do the basic search, he wasn’t the only one, David just wanted me to make sure that we hadn’t had a visitor that we would have to keep an eye on.”
“How odd.”
“I don’t think so, if someone wanted to get inside our privacy he would be clever about it, I talked it over with David and we agreed that anyone who was added late should be checked thoroughly but not to start worrying everyone else over what is just procedural.”
“I see” she said but the name Greg Porter struck a chord somewhere and she thought she should say so.
“It’s possible,” he said in answer, and if you think of anything, keep it to yourself and let me know here in this office face to face.”
“That’s a bit cloak and dagger.”
“Of course it is, just imagine if something got out, it doesn’t bear thinking about, you know how rumours fly. Do you even know who invited that man?”
She thought for a moment, “I think it was Olivia who gave me the name and email.”
“There you are then, need we say more, do you want to start David off on one of his vendettas?”
“Definitely not.”
Jane decided to focus on what she had come for and leave Arthur with his secret stuff, in a way it was comforting to think that he was looking after them so carefully. She still had a nagging feeling she knew that name from somewhere; maybe she was just catching David’s paranoia.
**************************************************************
Texas
Ruth spent the night and following morning making up again for all the years she had gone without and both of them were feeling a little jaded when they received a request from the Mayor’s office to visit as soon as possible. On arriving, the Major escorted them into a car without preamble and they were driven out of town just beyond the surrounding farmland until they reached a farm nestled at the base of low hills.
Finally, he said, “I have to ask you both to keep this completely confidential and he handed them both a document to sign. We’ve had various applications to do something with this land but because my family owns it I have always been opposed even if any of my fellow councillors were in favour. However your scheme might be one that I could be proud of, rather than being worried about being accused of abusing my position.”
He continued, “The problem is going to be about marrying the social benefits with the quality of development you have in mind. In a nutshell, if this land would suit you, I am going to need help with putting something together that would find favour with everyone, given the secrecy necessary for your development. They walked the land and drove the area and there was no doubt it was promising. The problem was what to include in the development that could benefit the community; they would have to think about it.
Ciaron with Olivia
They were heading out to go shopping, the baby soundly asleep in his cot in the car. Ciaron asked, “Why do you think you became antagonistic to your husband?”
“I am not entirely sure, it just grew with time, and my frustration always became his fault.”
“Was it activated by any event or series of events, did you think? Maybe after consulting with a therapist?”
“I admitted that I became angry when he prevented me from having satisfactory sex, there was that time for example when I thought my boyfriend was just bringing me to a lovely climax and David rang leaving a message on my phone telling me how much he loved me.”
“You called him your boyfriend?”
“Yes he was someone who I knew from a long time back.”
“Were you having trouble getting to that climax?”
“What sort of question is that, most men can’t bring a girl to a climax?”
“What about David?”
“Ohh it’s easy with him, sometimes he only has to look at me.”
“I’m confused, I’ve read all the papers about your past and throughout you always maintain that you were monogamous right up until Ana reawakened your desires. Then you dropped your confession bombshell which is a bit open to interpretation in light of what you were hoping to achieve.”
Olivia gave Ciaron a very quick smug look as if she had got away with something and she made a mental note.
“So now you mention the boyfriend and David interrupting the sex. When did he start becoming your boyfriend?”
Again she just looked at me with a smug work it out for yourself kind of look.
“I get the feeling you’re playing games with me Olivia.”
“I’m not; I am just choosing not to answer.”
“Whether you choose to speak or not is still part of playing games. Are you afraid I would talk to David?”
“I am sure you would find some way to communicate with him if it was something you thought was important.”
“I am an honest person Olivia and I suspect you would say that about anyone you spoke to.”
Olivia didn’t respond so Ciaron continued. “OK let’s get back on track to when you started being unfaithful.”
“If you were happy to have affairs despite knowing they could end your marriage, what would you say that your feelings were for your husband at the time?”
“I never felt any change but if I thought he might find out I became frightened of losing him.”
“So it wasn’t love in the conventional sense, would you agree?”
“I have always thought I loved him more than life, I miss him so much when he is not around.”
“Would you agree that that doesn’t make sense?”
“Yes you are right but my need seems to override my fear until it’s too late.”
“Do you accept that he couldn’t stay with you once he found out that you were having sex with someone else?”
“I do until I get the need and then I can’t.” She sighed, “I accept that it’s not logical.”
“What would you say the ‘need’ is?”
“To have sex of course the naughtier the better.”
“What makes you orgasm the easiest?”
“Nothing that you’re thinking of, they are all enjoyable.”
“So they are enjoyable but not satisfying?”
Frustratingly, Olivia did not respond again.
“I’ve done a kind of comparison chart of what you gain against what you lost up to now, would you like to hear it?”
“Not really but I suppose I ought to.”
“Well you might think of things to add.”
“OK I will try.”
“On the positive side you have freedom to have sex with anyone else as long as it’s outside a Retreat, aside for special occasions. You are free to work for anyone else. Your child is paid for without contention and there is always someone to keep an eye on him.”
“On the negative side you no longer have a relationship with David, you don’t have a share in anything of his life, you have half of what there was on the day you were adulterous, and whatever date that was.”
“Finally what is there left to lose? Or gain?” getting no response again she continued. “On the other hand, I suppose you could find someone to love you and be less vigilant about your affairs.”
“On the loose side I reckon your present job could easily be in jeopardy, your child, and your home at the Retreat. I don’t think you care about living at the Retreat except that you have to stay there with the child, at least if you want to be with him.”
“No, I’m not bothered about living there anymore.”
“Were you disappointed that it was David’s child?”
She stared at me and refused to answer and I wondered if that was an answer in itself.
“The problem comes down to what love is for you. In my Mums case, I believe she didn’t have the overriding love for me and my Dad so she just left. Is it the same for you for David and his son?”
“At this very minute I would not leave my baby for anything. As far as David is concerned I just seem to keep burning my bridges.”
“At what point are you expecting to give him up?”
“I’m not.”
“That means you have to carry on your present way of life, do you think the other personality you talk about will allow that?”
“What makes you feel that I can’t carry on at the Retreat?”
“Saturday night was a continuation of the past; I don’t think you have changed.”
“I think I have.”
“So, do you still think you love David?”
“Of course.”
“But you take every chance you can to treat him as if you hate him, how do you explain that?”
“I can’t and I am not strong enough to stop myself.”
“Why not?”
“Because I’m sick.”
“But you’re not, you just have strong sexual urges that you don’t control, pretty much half the population of men have to deal with such urges I suspect. I don’t know what the actual statistics are but in my personal experience, they are mostly like that at some time in their life, or perhaps it’s just me personally. I hope you can get control because I don’t want to see a repeat of my parents and I would like a chance to help you get better. The problem is I am not sure you really want to.”
Olivia suspected that Ciaron knew something that made her think negatively and she was right, she didn’t want to change her plans.
*****************************************
Lots to do, Who can help, back West, finding Gregg
Jane sent David a message to arrange for a little conference on Saturday and then had a longish conversation to discuss the issues.
Separately Ciaron borrowed a phone to have a word with him privately. David rang his lawyer straight after to obtain advice.
The numbers at the conference were larger than expected, locals Ana, Lauren, Tania, Christine, Ver, and Marlene, all came, Molly, Kim, and Fay, travelled. Dee and even Monica were there too because they might be expected to be involved, as well as Jane, Bree, and Jo.
After the conference David and Ana headed out to the west coast, where they booked into a classy hotel and looked forward to a good opportunity to re-seal their bond. Ana has been uncertain of her feelings and is worried about how they will feel, just them alone with time to talk. Thus far, they had been tired on the plane and grabbed naps between hostess service.
****************************************
Ana
I went straight to freshen up while David explored the room and unpacked a few things. I felt almost shy when it was time to come out; I wrapped a towel around my body, wanting to let him know that I am his, but not confident of our relationship. David was waiting and didn’t make any indication, simply swapping places to clean-up too.
It was warm and he slipped on shorts and a tee, and then knew it was time to talk to her. She was nowhere in sight at first but he found her on the balcony, looking spectacular. She had on a flimsy two piece bedroom set and as he went to slide back the door, he noticed she was being admired by occupants on the connected balcony. Ana was allowing it and pretending not to notice the appreciation, occasionally moved slightly so as to portray a different angle of view. She turned herself to admire a different view of the landscape and caught sight of David’s eyes watching her with an indulgent smile. She leant back against the balcony barrier stretching her shorts and, intentionally or not, gave him, and her neighbours, a better view of her mound.
Ana couldn’t help herself and gave an enticing smile to him as she completed her circle but gave her ‘friend to be,’ a nice view of her nipples through the fine material of her top. The neighbour braved an approach saying hello and she took the opportunity to appreciate the guy. He was also wearing shorts and tee that showed off a torso that must have spent regular time in the gym. She repaid his approach with a hello and introduced herself. The guy surreptitiously slid his eyes to look into his own room and then, apparently satisfied he could continue, asked Ana if she was staying long, thus attempting to open a ‘private’ conversation. Wandering who he was sharing the room with, she decided to be a little cautious but continue talking if only to make David wonder what she is up to. Her caution proved sensible because a very pretty little woman had been intrigued by their conversation and stepped out to join them. She decided to ensure that her man shouldn’t be getting too friendly and moved beside him to join the talk. Olivia looked towards David to invite him to join them. He gave her a shrug of his shoulders to start with, tormenting her that he will leave it to them and raised an eyebrow.
Ana felt a little frustrated that he didn’t come to help her, the neighbour was definitely taking her body in hungrily but his partner wasn’t so pleased. It added to her uncertainty and worry that David didn’t want them to be close. Then he was really naughty, stripped off his shirt and stepped out beside me. I couldn’t stop myself stroking his chest as he came close and my neighbours had a mixture of reactions, the pretty woman took more than a glance, checking out his assets, and the male neighbour looked very aggrieved as David took the attention of both women. David became very flirty, appreciating our neighbour with words as well as his eyes and soon drew out her name, Elle, and I found his to be Brynn. It was my turn to be jealous and I was ready to drag David back into the bedroom, then the subject of photography came up as Elle commented that she would like to capture the view before them. The two shared immediate interest as David fetched his camera from the room and they began to talk gobbledegook about depth of field, shutter speed and other such nonsense.
I was about to give up on them and head inside when David put himself back in my good books as he posed me beside the view and asked me to put on a bikini to show me off, ok I know I am shallow. Elle joined David in posing me and taking photos from her Balcony but after a round of shots she seemed disappointed with her results. David asked Elle if she would like to come across to get a different angle but I guessed rightly that he also wanted her in his shots. Elle could have included Brynn but it was apparent that she wanted revenge. I wasn’t sure what angle to follow, would Brynn want to call me his side but what could be his excuse. Elle arrived looking much too enticing in a very well fitted bikini that didn’t cover much and I caught David surreptitiously appreciating her curves. I moved to the corner of the balcony and drew Elle close by me, surprisingly she wasn’t shy as she moved tight up against my body. I could see Brynn’s eyes bulge with enjoyment at the sight mixed with a touch of worry that there was a chance of missing out. Should I tease David or let him take control of tormenting our neighbour, David was well versed in posing beautiful women by now.
One of the shots was of us both leaning on the balcony rail, our boobs pressing forward and our bottoms projecting towards David. He stepped forward blocking Brynn’s sightline and outrageously stroked his hand up my bottom all the way up to my neck, it made my body shiver. Elle watched wide eyed and her suggestive response of pushing her pert bottom out, together with a daring look into his eyes, led him to repeat on her, perhaps taking even longer; she shivered delightfully. David dragged out the session as long as he could before we drew back into our room, Brynn’s face dropped as we entered together and Elle gave him a very tormenting glance. As she went to the door she gave us both a full on lips kiss that left a lot of potential. I asked, “Shall we have dinner?” she smiled in agreement and David pretended to gather her up towards the bed, saying, “You look very edible.” I thought this could become very intimate if allowed. Elle left with a suggestive smile and a wink and almost before the door had closed, David picked me up and threw me on the bed.
My Bikini disappeared like magic before I could even try a little teasing. I was lying on my back with legs bent wide open and David’s head between, doing magic with his tongue. I was struck by the thought that it was usually a certain someone else looking after me down there but the thought didn’t linger. I was really looking forward to a rare opportunity to have him all to myself, far from the Retreat. His tongue was quickly in action making long sweeps up my vulva that quickly became enlarged as he delved between my shiny labia. I was ready and waiting for him to take me but there was a knock on the door. David was not happy to be interrupted and said sternly, “if you’re coming in, be ready to join us.” Out of the corner of my eyes, I watched Elle step in and shut the door behind her, then stop and properly look at what we were doing. Being used to an environment where people joined in without a moment’s notice, it was amazing for me that she seemed stunned and likely to turn around and walk out.
“Did you not want something? Join us perhaps?” I asked.
I
She did look slightly shocked but maybe a little torn.
“Was going to ask what time for dinner but it looks like David already started.”
“Are you shy?”
“I think my boyfriend might object if I joined you.”
“Understandable,” David accepted and then returned to his tasty meal.
I took in a deep breath as he sucked on my Clit, very distracting as Elle asked what time shall we meet in the Dining Room.
I think we agreed at 7pm, and Elle offered to book a table as we were so busy.
Elle looked back at David’s body now looking very up-standing and seemed somewhat rueful as she left.
I think we had been patient enough and our usual foreplay moved quickly on to main business. He moved forward to let me know he needed me with a long kiss that said much both ways. I had thoroughly enjoyed myself at the party with Zoe and the guys but there is something special about being with someone who gives more than just sex. We took our time giving pleasure mutually, looking into each other’s eyes asking a lot and saying much without words. He brought me to my second intense climax, one that reached the depth of my feelings, spreading throughout my body, and I encouraged him to join me in mutual pleasure.
We collapsed to catch our breath and relax in each other’s arms. “I have to talk,” I started, once we had caght our breath.
“Are you sure?”
“I need to, did you see us at the party?”
“I did, you looked very erotic curled in each other’s arms while being pumped by the two guys. I was intensely jealous and surprised but it helped that I couldn’t see their faces. Have you known them for long? ”
“Zoe and I had been out with them a few times, mostly for dinner, nothing extra. I was really surprised that Zoe wanted to take it further.”
“Are you worried that your relationship is changing?”
“I think I am, her intensity of having me to herself has changed massively.”
David pulled me into his arms, “I am worried for you, I don’t want you hurt badly.”
I felt a hole in my heart and couldn’t find anything to add.
He said “Could you perhaps spend more time with me? Particularly during the day and not just for work, I don’t feel we have spent enough time together. Our only problems will be the work you will be doing for the Retreats and the stress that Olivia brings. It will mean a change in your relationship with Zoe and a bigger commitment to us.”
“What are you saying David?”
“I am saying, think about where you would like our relationship to go.”
