*****************************************

David, Anne and Elle are visiting a farm that may have some potential for their development but earlier the ladies had come across an erotic scene that grabbed their attention.

The farmer looked at his watch “It definitely would be the wrong time to visit the neighbour’s farm” and smiled to himself. Now all together, they walked around his farm to see the land that wasn’t in use. On the way, Ana and Elle were lagging behind, chattering about what they saw earlier. Eventually the farmer had to notice and observed, “I’m guessing you saw him servicing one of the local ‘heifers’ as we call them.”

“We did.”

“And you’ve heard why my wife divorced me?”

They nodded slightly embarrassed.

“Well let me tell you some of the truth, I didn’t know when I married her but my wife, ‘bless her,’ was one of his heifers and I caught them at it one evening by the pond, probably as you just did. I told her I was divorcing her and she tried to say it was my fault, asserting that we weren’t compatible in bed. Let me tell you I am no midget in that part of my anatomy but she never could get enough, so it started getting nasty. Fortunately the Judge got a whiff of what she was really up to and made a fair ruling, now I just want to pay her off as soon as I can.”

**********************************************

“Do you think you might be able to help me?” he asked.

By then they had circled the land, it was fairly uneven with strewn rocks at the bottom of a slope, “What about the hills?” asked David.

“I’d have to check my deeds but I know some of it is mine, I just let it be unless someone comes sniffing around.”

“Can we walk up a way so that we can look down on it?”

As they walked David asked about acreage and what comprised the different areas. In his own mind the Hotel can go on a slope if the view is good or overlooking the golf course if the land is suitable for the kind of grass needed. A runway would need to be flat of course. Somewhere private would be necessary for the Retreat. “What’s the wildlife in these parts?” he asked, but he found the farmer uninterested unless it affected his farm.

As they arrived back at the house David said, “I am a bit worried whether we can get grass to grow on some of it, what’s your opinion.”

“You might if you could provide water, but I reckon that you would need a channel from the river and most of it is on my neighbours land. I suppose you could always buy that, it’s a nice size but might cost a bit more.”

“Let’s have a look at the plans you have,” and they walked into the house.

While they waited for the farmer David asked what the ladies thought, Ana said “I can’t see a golf course here, there’s no features or water for hazards, if that part we were at earlier was included it would be different, particularly some of the farmland where it’s got the river.

Elle wanted to contribute and added, “I don’t think it will be easy to get much wildlife without some better water supply.”

“Yes I agree,” said David and then quietly and conspiratorially whispered “what were the farmers’ assets like?”

“David!” they responded with emphasis, “You’re not supposed to ask us such questions.”

“I know but I do love to tease you two.”

They smiled at the idea that they mattered to him.

Ana stretched her hands apart widely and Elle moved them even further apart. He raised an eyebrow in astonishment, “so how big was the guy the heifers liked so much?” Elle’s hands went wider and David was shocked and he didn’t think he could be shocked by anything anymore.

“Wow” he said, “would you guys try something like that?” They pretended they were seriously thinking about it for some while and he became quite worried, he was sure they might be damaged. Eventually they laughed at their shared conspiracy but wouldn’t let him off the hook adding, “I think Miranda might give it a shot.” David’s eyebrows shot up.

“She hasn’t quite accepted that you might be around,” they added.

“That’s fair” he said, “we don’t know where the future is going yet, I must admit this west coast is looking brighter by the hour, I feel like I have escaped to a world that’s fun but sane compared to my history.”

Elle’s heart almost burst with hope from his words.

The farmer returned with plans and the issues were plain to see. The farmer, a realist, commented, “Looks to me like you need to buy the land next to me for what you want.”

“Hang on; are you saying it’s up for sale?”

Yes it is, been on the market since the old man died, the heifers man has been keeping it going ever since and those women don’t want to see him go.

“Do you know what they are selling?”

“Just a minute” and he rummaged around in his old cupboards searching for something. “Here it is, a copy of their selling details” he laid them out on the table.

“Interesting,” said David, “let me ask you this, if I were to ask you to swap some of your land for some of this, what would be your reaction?”

The farmer shrugged his shoulders, “if it works overall I am not going to complain, as long as I’m not left dry.”

It seemed like a good time to wind up discussions for now, “would you mind if we borrowed these sale details and the plan?”

The farmer shrugged again, now taking a long look at the ladies, who eyed him back letting him know just who they were with.

They head out to catch up with Miranda, hoping their room will be super comfy for their tired limbs. She enfolded them in a welcome, so out of character that her husband would have wondered who she was. They had phoned her as they drove near and she arranged food so that everything was perfect. Her smile at their gratitude was intoxicating and she was so enthusiastic to hear their news that they put sleep aside for a while to give her the full story. She listened carefully to everything and then quickly recognised that this was going to take some careful thinking and ideas.

“Are you disappointed, my loves?” She asked, then became startled by the terms of endearment she used.

Confirming that they weren’t disappointed, David smiled at her indulgently, “We missed you, and the ladies can’t wait to tell you about the Heifers man.”

Relieved at being part of the group again she looked at them with an encouraging smile.

Ana responded saying, “How about we go and talk about this as we shower.”

David smiled to himself; ‘I won’t be seeing them for a while.’ Then he saw Ana pick up the toy bag on her way in and he knew he would be asleep by the time they came out. He flopped on the bed and within seconds was fast asleep; it had been a really long day.

In the morning it seemed that they had a lot to make up for, so once again they were late for breakfast, “what’s the plan for the day?” asked Miranda.

“I think we should follow up on yesterday,” said David, “we might have to split up in order to look at our next options. We need to follow up on the land for sale and we need to make some general investigations on what the authorities would like to see in their district. Miranda, are you up to going incognito for a few days?”

“Love to, as long as we aren’t in my local area.”

“So what would you prefer to do?”

She raised an eyebrow “We don’t have enough time!”

They all laughed in agreement.

Ana suggested that, “We head into town first, if you go to the authorities, we could head to the shops to get Miranda a new identity then we’ll meet at the Agents who have the farm representation. If we can arrange to visit, it would be handy to do so while we are all here; to save time.

The ladies had a lot more fun than expected, Miranda started off with conservative selections but the others talked her into slacks, a shortish skirt, something very naughty for an evening, tee’s that hugged her chest superbly and would look very beguiling with no bra and blouses that she could open up to get David’s heart racing. They all invested in rip-off panties and bras that could start the night under evening wear. That of course led to buying another suitable dress and new nightwear that was more revealing than covering. They had a great time trying some of the daring clothes on, especially if there was a decent looking man in the shop. They bought Miranda a pair of sunglasses and hats to top off the new identity; of course, Ana and Elle had to have extra clothes too.

“Do you have a sister?” they asked Miranda, and she had, living in another part of the country. How about if any one thinks they recognise you we change your name to your sisters or a different identity. “I think I’d like a whole new me,” decided Miranda, then after a few moments thought added, “How about Sophia?”

“Ohh yes,” they decided, “it’s sexy like you.”

“You think I’m sexy?”

“Ohh Yes” said Elle, running her hands up her sides. “I think you deserve a very fulfilling reward”

Inevitably, David managed to visit the town hall and the agents, even before shopping was finished, but he was lucky to find them in the lingerie shop. It was very hard work, he claimed, checking that bras fitted comfortably and almost got himself evicted for testing manually even when no bra was involved. David adored boobs, and even more adored licking nipples which was considered improper behaviour in the shop. He had offered to provide a similar service to other customers but unfortunately not all agreed.

With full details of the adjoining farm and an arrangement to visit that afternoon, they headed in that direction. Miranda decided to take on her new identity in case the neighbouring farmer saw her. She shocked herself wearing shorts and a V-necked t-shirt, sitting in the back with Elle. It wasn’t long before they kissed and Elle craftily removed Sophia’s bra so that she could play with her breasts for the whole journey and Sophia arrived very hot. Watching from the mirror David decided he and Elle should swap places on the way back.

They toured the house and associated buildings then David met with the owner and the ladies sneaked off to show Miranda the heifers man. They headed again for the pond as it was around the same time as the previous day and found themselves on the other side looking down to the water, they sat enjoying the sun, not hiding in any way. At first there was no one around but the guy arrived and started to wash himself down without any level of shyness. He must have known they were there, but he continued to strip off, walk out into the water and wash himself down. Standing about knee high in the water, he rubbed soap all over himself like an exhibitionist, finally rubbing the length of his penis washing its lengthening staff. Appearing to become hard he sat on the bank with his enormous staff in front of him and his hand wrapped around rubbing up and down.

The ladies couldn’t help squeezing their thighs together and rubbing their nipples as they became aroused by the scene. Then a woman approached along the river and embraced him. She appeared to have a close relationship as she caressed his face and kissed his neck and face. She kneeled before him, wrapping two hands around his girth and drawing them up and down his length, while intermittently leaning forward to lick and kiss the head. She seemed to be having the required effect because she bent to remove her panties then turned to kneel away from him.

Ana and Elle felt they recognised her and it came to them from photos in the previous farmer’s home, it was the farmer’s estranged wife.

She had bent forward in a knowing way, the guy was now leaning behind her, stroking her nether lips, pushing out his tongue seeming to want to lick her but never doing more than sliding two fingers inside and pumping them in and out for a long time as the woman enjoyed the attention. Then she put her arm around and grabbed his length, directing it towards her opening, unlike the previous woman they had seen, this time his cock slid inside like an old friend and the man seemed to know exactly how deep he should go. They rutted like animals in an almost ritualistic action that made her orgasm quickly with a loud moan but he struggled to succeed. She spoke to him gently, coaxing him onward to ejaculate as if it was something he felt wrong to do. Then the watchers sensed she saw them, her face turned their way and her expression changed to one of concern, instead of reacting with anger or worry she moved faster, coaxing him even more to accept his own orgasm. She became frustrated for him and turned to stroke and lick him, his excitement rose and eventually he let go, smiling at her with gratitude.

She stroked him almost like a child before leaving him on the bank, to visit with her voyeurs; they didn’t feel embarrassed, wanting to understand what it was all about.

“Who are you?”

“We brought our friend here to look at the wonder of nature that your boyfriend is. We came across him while looking at the farm for sale up the hill, a day or two ago. Do you live on one of the farms?”

“I used to live on the farm on the other side of the river, before my husband started divorcing me.”

“Always sorry to hear about such happenings,” said Ana trying to distract her away from looking too closely at Miranda.

“Ahh well, it was bound to happen, I’ve been helping my friend with his sex life for such a long time.”

“Ohh that’s intriguing.”

“Yes because of his largeness certain women started abusing him at an early age but frightened him into not ejaculating so they could extend their fun, it’s become a hang-up for him now. I can’t say I’ve complained about his ability but he asks me sometimes to help him when he’s jammed up. Unfortunately my husband didn’t think it was acceptable. So now he rings me when he needs help and I get some fun in the process.”

Ana joked, “If we had come earlier I sure my friends would have helped,” and the others smiled hesitantly.

“What’s happened to you since your break-up?” asked Elle.

“I am stuck in lodgings until my husband finds enough money for our settlement.”

“We might be able to help you in a few months, we set up places for women to escape to, what did you do before marriage?”

“I studied as a Vet; I was hoping to have my own place one day. When I wed my ex I thought I might be able to operate from the farm.”

Ana thought they should get back so she put in, “Let us have your number and we can get in touch to see if you still need somewhere, you never know, we might be able to find your friend a job that will take him away from the heifers, it would be far enough that you or he wouldn’t be known. It will be rural so you never know whether your qualifications would be useful”

“What is your friend good at?” asked Elle, who then went completely pink.

The woman seemed completely unaware of the faux pas as she replied seriously, “He is just a natural on the land, he has wildlife eating out of his hands and the farmer didn’t want to lose him until he was forced to sell, he went to agricultural college so he knows his stuff but he’s just shy and reclusive.

Surprisingly she followed them up to the top farm to pick up her car, David met them outside and they introduced her to him. As usual he gave her his undivided attention and thought she was attractive enough although not as stunning as his ladies. She obviously enjoyed the attention and thought he was good looking; her gaze lingered noticeably longer than normal, so Ana thought she might want to join the future Retreat if only to meet David again. Later on, their report about her did encourage him to take a more careful stance in later matters.

Following behind was her friend Billy, and Ana tried to take David aside and tell the story. Upon hearing the man’s skills David thought for the first time that they had inherited a man rather than a woman to become involved. He seemed to be ideal for looking after all the extra land left over, surrounding the Retreats and Hotel. He decided that there was no holding back and came forward, asking Billy[1] what he might do if the farm is sold. After discussion David asked him to give them the first option for his services when his job situation comes up. Billy looked like he needed encouragement so he suggested, “perhaps you might come and look at the first Retreat land we are planning in the hills?” Billy seemed enthusiastic as they described the natural landscape near San Francisco, the plans for this site if they bought it and ideas for Texas. Billy visibly brightened as he described their policy of protecting natural features and wildlife.

“I hope you don’t mind doing a bit of travelling” he was asked, “we will need you to prepare plans for submission.”

“It will be just like college except better because of the wildlife addition” it sounded like Billy had taken the bait.

David is wondering about Billy’s sexual activities, there being a certain restaurant owner who would so appreciate his other skills with the right touch. “Ana, could you have a word with the Farmer’s ex-wife about Billy’s hang-ups and preferences, will he find it difficult with a lot of women around or will we have to keep him separate?” Ana’s eyebrows twitched upwards at the thought and acknowledged that she would investigate. It occurred to David that they were going to need a place for visitors to stay near the first Reserve site if they were really going to invite people over, so he fired off a message to Sharon asking whether it would be possible to rent a house in her town.”

On the way back to the hotel, the ladies are wondering if he is interfering just a little too much, he acknowledged the possibility that he might be stepping over the mark but at the end of the day Billy’s skills with nature could be very useful, long term, particularly on sites where we have to provide a benefit to the community.

“Where shall we go this evening?” Elle prompts.

“Shall we risk asking the hotel manager to suggest a nightclub for grown-ups,” suggests Ana. David groaned.

“Why not, says the others, having no idea of what an adult club might be but it sounded intriguing.”

Miranda and the others headed up while he went to the Hotel manager. As had happened previously in his experience, the manager made a suggestion with a smirk on his face, so against his better judgement David asked him to make a booking and arrange a taxi. ‘I wonder whether we will all still be together by the end of the evening.’ He thought ruefully.

He waited a long time for them to come out of the shower, they looked hot and he expected an interesting evening. The more he looked at them the more he thought they should stay in the room, in bed with him. Then later, when they were dressed to kill, he was absolutely sure they weren’t safe to take out. They went on down to dinner full of fun and excitement, looking forward to the evening. Elle and Miranda were arm in arm continuing the teasing about the size of dildo that Miranda was going to get. Ana and David held hands and she saw the reserved look about him and quietly asked what he thought the club might be like. He had to be honest and say that “it might be the kind of place that people got more than close to each other.”

“So will it be somewhere where permissions are required?” she smiled.

“I will probably need it” said David, teasing her but continued more seriously “although we have been happy with each other the last few days,” and returned to teasing “but one never knows, I suppose if I spot someone who fits my type it’s more likely to be in a place like that.”

She gave him a tight squeeze, “we are more than enough for you.”

He squeezed and kissed her back, thinking ‘I need the rest and recuperation, out of the room for a while’ but it was only a half-hearted thought, they were so appealing he felt horny constantly.’ He replied, tormenting. “You know variety is the spice of life.”

So she hit back. “That’s true I might need a few to try.” He decided that it was time to give up while he was losing.

They wondered together who’s permission for naughtiness Elle and Miranda would need if any. Ana concluded that ‘right now the only ones I think they need would be us.’

**********************************************************

As they entered the place, David soon realised this wasn’t quite like the ‘adult’ club he had been to with Olivia. However he did feel that it was populated by people looking to hook up and he wondered if his issue that evening was going to be because he was escorting three women; people might assume that at least two were available. Miranda soon enjoyed being approached by admirers and the others were frequently aware that she was missing, although Elle wasn’t a lot different. Ana didn’t feel like leaving David’s side and he was very happy with that, he also felt relieved at not needing to watch over his companions. He felt great pride when the three women moved on the dance floor together and so many eyes followed them.

Later the people began to move ‘freely,’ people were dancing close, tightly rubbing their bodies together or caressing each other, others in dark corners were undoubtedly pleasing each other and nobody turned a hair. It seemed to be the norm and anyone not involved appeared to be newbies like them. Midnight seemed to signal the removal of clothes, firstly the women who were dancing, apparently enjoyed the idea of stripping, and were soon helped by partners of either sex; intent on removing undergarments as soon as possible. The dance floor was dark with only spot lights moving around allowing just a momentary view of bodies being fingered and stroked; the atmosphere had definitely moved up a notch. David began to wonder if his first assessment had been way off.

“Want to join in, or go to explore the place or head to our bed?” David asked his loved ones. ‘All of the above’ was the eventual decision; stroking and feeling seemed to be appealing but just amongst ourselves. The three dragged David onto the floor and began rubbing their bodies against him shimmering up and down and expressing their needs with very naughty smiles at him, teasing with their hands rubbing up and down paying particular attention to his length that was growing by the second. Miranda turned around to move the cheeks of her butt around him as she continued her movement up and down. Soon they began to undress each other and so down to skimpy underclothes, they went back to teasing him and each other as fingers delved into panties as they formed a triangle around him with two sets of fingers playing with each other. Again they rubbed up against him gradually pulling his zip down, completely oblivious to anyone around them.

Finally he came free and as they shimmered and moved around, they began moving up and down, their mouths took him, a momentary lick or kiss or a suck, that drove him mad until he could stand no more. He drew them to the rooms at the rear where couples cavorted on mattresses and comfy large sofas. At first they thought it too late but they spotted a gap at the rear of a room full of writhing bodies. Reaching the far end they found a couple under-utilising a large area, the guy was propped up against the headboard as the woman bobbed up and down on his substantial member. He saw them arrive and waved them to crawl on the bed, the ladies fell upon David, hands, and mouths everywhere, and he reciprocated for a long time. Then a hand came over touching Elle on the shoulder, the guy had slid down on his back and he was encouraging her to ride his mouth. Elle looked at David, surprising him by asking his opinion, “Enjoy, then come back and ride me” She smiled and thought, then decided in favour but first drew Miranda into a kiss, Ana grabbed her opportunity and slid David inside and he drew Miranda to his mouth so that she could continue to kiss and caress either Elle or Ana at the same time.

David, Ana, Elle and Miranda had become a great team, their bodies interacting perfectly so that each fully participated and was pleasured equally, the addition of an extra person although welcome seemed to upset the balance they had found together and before long Elle thanked the guy and found her way to replace Ana who then entwined with Miranda. Elle settled on him like a woman returning home, there was a connection that felt right to her and she was going to find it hard to part with him. Miranda also felt like a different woman, she didn’t want this adventure to end and somehow she needed to make it possible to do it again and again and again, didn’t she deserve it after years of public service? She knew she had finally realised her true sexuality, it was a very healthy appetite and she loved the ladies as much as she loved David. What did she just think to herself, ‘love’ that was a new one for her, it must have been a momentary aberration, but she did feel so comfortable around them.

Ana couldn’t quite decide how she felt, she wanted so much to have him to herself yet now there were four of them, she was really fond of both women. She decided that he loved her as much as he could love any woman after what he had gone through and that had to be enough, she found a positive in his flexibility to extra indulgences and that allowed her to be satisfied for now at least, who knew where their next adventure might lead them.

The woman next to them had changed positions and was now laying missionary style close to Ana and as they caught sight of each other the woman put out her hand and Ana took it, their eyes drawn to each other for a moment as they indulged their bodies with the pleasure that their partners were giving.

“My name’s Dawn, you are so beautiful, what’s your name?” the woman asked during a break.

“It’s great to meet you Dawn, I am Ana, you are lovely too, is that your husband?”

Dawn shook her head and smiled, “I don’t know who he is we just met, you must be new here I would know if I saw someone quite so lovely, and your friends too”

“This is my heart David and our loves Elle and Sophia” she knew should give an Alias for Miranda and said it loud enough so that she would know.

“My you are lucky to have such wonderful lovers, no wonder you guys aren’t circulating.”

“It’s our first time, we are a new group but we are good together. Is your husband not here?”

“Ohh he’s here somewhere, disappeared almost as we came through the door, thinks himself a bit of a stud” the woman finished with a laugh at her description of her husband then continued “But there’s always someone nice to meet socially or sexually, my friend here definitely has good staying power.”

“He looks happy in his work” said Ana smiling and Dawn smiled in agreement.

“I take it that you have open tastes in partners.”

“If you mean do I have any boundaries, I have very few” then as a joke she added laughing “Although I haven’t tried anything with four legs yet.”

Dawn looked quite startled for a moment before realising that Ana was joking.

Ana thought she should add “Having said that I think our Sybian machine has four legs” and again smiled at her own joke.

Dawn regained her status quo and asked “You guys aren’t from around here?”

“No, we are travelling on business having a bit of an adventure at the same time.”

“So you are work colleagues?”

Ana thought the questioning was getting a bit much so didn’t reply, preferring to ask, “How about your own preferences?”

“Ohh I like to think I’m pretty adventurous, ‘never say no until you try it’ is my motto.”

“Sounds reasonable” Ana responded thinking about this woman, ‘was she too inquisitive or am I over sensitive.’ At that moment Miranda/Sophia came to her rescue giving her a splendid kiss that left her reeling for a moment, “Would you excuse me if I steal her away, we want to do a little exploring,” she said to Dawn.

“Would you like me to show you around?”

The others looked at each other, shrugged and said ‘why not?” although Miranda/Sophia did her best to separate Ana from Dawn. They chatted amiably as they wandered but the continued hype of coming across one sexual act after another kept the four on edge touching each other with feeling and desire. Having done the tour they turned to bid Dawn farewell but she exclaimed “You’re not going already! I was hoping we could get together.”

“Tomorrow perhaps?” answered David as diplomatically as he could.

She smiled, “I’d like that.”

“How do I get in touch?” he asked.

“Dawn Fellows is the name, want to exchange details?”

David pulled out his phone. “What did you have in mind Dawn?”

“I don’t know, I don’t even understand why I am standing here, lunch, dinner whatever? I’m sorry I’m not usually this needy, I don’t know what I’m thinking.”

Ana stepped forward, took her hand. “It’s ok, where do you live Dawn, would you like us to pick you up?” The others looked at her, somewhat bemused, but it was Ana so who was going to argue, and she wasn’t slow to check her out on the internet as soon as they reached their hotel.

Around noon the following day their taxi pulled up outside a family size home on the outskirts of town, Dawn was waiting and her door opened before David could step out of the cab, he embraced her in the time honoured style. David thought she looked great in a pretty summer dress, and he couldn’t resist saying, “You look fabulous with your clothes on,” for which he received a bash from Ana but Dawn took it in good spirit and retorted, “I could say the same to you.” She gave directions and the taxi found its way to a country establishment specialising in fresh local produce on its menu. The group found the lunch entrancing in its own way, Dawn proved to be entertaining company especially with derogatory tales about her husband. Someone commented on how fit she looked and proudly she claimed her level of proficiency in martial arts.

“So you don’t get trouble with anyone at the club then?” remarked Elle tongue in cheek.

“Well it’s never been tried but let’s just say I wouldn’t be overly concerned.”

“So you’re a bit of a super woman, a nurse with midwifery skills who can sort out the unruly fathers?”

She went to smile an acknowledgement but then it hit her, “I didn’t tell you I was a nurse,” she said.

“In our line of work Dawn we can’t take chances, if there had been any doubt about you we wouldn’t be sitting here.”

“What are you guys, FBI, CIA, IRS?”

They all laughed at that, “No,’ continued Ana cautiously, we follow up on investment opportunities.”

“Ohh sounds very high profile”

“Only when we are finished”

“Is that why you are here?”

“No, we are here because we’re not looking in this area; we try not to mix business with relaxing in the same area.” Dawn didn’t look like she quite believed that. David was catching on that Ana was spinning a tale.

Leaving Ana to deal with her tale for the moment, David had something on his mind so he took the others for a short walk, “I know what I am about to say is dropping it on you but I don’t want to lose either of you and I am sure Ana feels the same. If either or both of you want to jump on board we would be ecstatic. I just wanted to say that your input and opinions are appreciated, you both deserve consideration and I would really like more adventures in the future. But I also understand that you have other lives and we wouldn’t expect you to forsake those, so I want you to feel free to choose whatever works best for you, you know how flexible I am?” he finished with a suggestive twitch of his eyebrows.

Either side of him, both women had been wearing expressions that said they knew what he was thinking long before he said anything, but Miranda and Elle took his arms and squeezed then looked up and smiled as he turned his head from one to the other. He knew he wasn’t going to get a commitment from either straight away but he did get an, “I am definitely up for as many adventures as we can manage,” from Miranda.

And a “Ditto” from Elle.

He was delighted; his happiness pockets were full to overflowing. As they meandered back, he suggested “I think Ana has an issue with Dawn, and I’m going with her instinct, it makes sense to keep you as Sophia, Miranda.”

“I like it,” said Elle; “it suits your passionate nature underneath.”

Miranda thought for a while, “Y’know I like it too and it makes sense to be Sophia when I am with you guys, that way there’s no slip of the tongue once we all get used to it.”

“Sounds great, you might even get called Sophie when you are really good!”

“What are you suggesting?” she retorted, turning to face him so that she could run a hand down his length.

“More of that, for sure,” he grinned, and she kissed him on the nose, with a “we’ll see whether you’re good enough, I’m sure you can do better than this” she grinned back with another enticing stroke.

******************************************

While they had been gone Ana threw a question back at Dawn, “What threw you yesterday when we were talking about the things we tried, our boundaries so to speak.”

“It was just something that my husband keeps on about,” she hedged, then as if allowing herself whispered, “he has this obsession with seeing me and huge ‘you know what’s.'” Surprisingly given where they had been the night before, she was shy about using the word, and then it dawned on Ana that her husband was probably the controlling type.

“I suspect you mean anything that is the right shape, very long and thick.” Dawn nodded embarrassed now. “Please don’t be embarrassed Dawn. This kind of thing is just part of life’s rich tapestry and we don’t look down on or cast negative opinions on anything, in fact it’s an unwritten law in our set-up.”

The new Sophia, Elle and David made their way back, David slightly red faced trying to hide an erection that Ana was not about to miss, and Sophia with a grin and Elle with a look of pure innocence. Ana looked at them suspiciously and as he settled down beside her she also ran a hand along his length. She whispered in his ear “What have you been up to without me?” giving him several more strokes to make sure that he told the truth.

“We need a word when it’s not too obvious.”

“You mean like having a tent pole between your legs or something more obvious than that?” she said, wiggling her hand along his pants for extra discomfort.

Dawn sensed some of their antics and said slightly sarcastically “I think you two need to get a room or at least work out what you’re arguing about.”

“That’s a good idea,” he said, pulling Ana to her feet unceremoniously.

They head away from the scene where Dawn was left trying to quiz the others on what was up and they were playing it down as a bit of jealousy.

“Phew, well done, that was a great bit of acting.”

“Well I did want to know what you had been up to.”

“Not much really, we have decided to call Miranda, Sophia all the time in future and I teased her so she teased me back, he explained the Sophie comment”

Ana grinned like a cat considering its prey and replied half joking, “I’ll get her for that,” and David was surprised at her possessive response. His mind then considered how she had taken the lead during this trip, sometimes they needed someone like that and she was the right woman. He felt that Sophia had had a lifetime of being in charge and was happy to take a break from it and relax with them, letting Ana take the lead unless she needed help.

Back at the table, Dawn was wondering what other plans they had, and the others were saying they weren’t sure, they were waiting on information to come through from head office, so perhaps another day, Sophia left that last thought out there to see what Dawn might suggest.

“We have a private party coming up, my husband said to invite you if you were still around.”

“Ohh did he see us last night then?”

“Yes apparently he watched us all for a while. I didn’t notice at the time I think my mouth was full or something,” she laughed.

“What’s his name?” asked Elle.

“Peter,” she said.

‘Not another,’ thought David ‘I hope hers is less trouble than the last one.’ He looked at Ana who flushed for a moment, knowing what he was remembering. It was not a memory she was proud of so he smiled to show her it was forgotten as far as she and he were concerned.

“I do like this place, I can’t tell whether it’s a full working farm or just a shop and restaurant selling the local farmers produce” remarked David changing the subject. “Do you think the owner would mind us taking a look around?” he asked Dawn.

“I’ll check, shall I?” she replied quickly and was on her feet before they could all reply.

While she was gone, David messaged Arthur and asked him to do a background search on Dawn and her husband.

Then as she wasn’t yet back he wandered to a quiet place and called Aleesha, “Hello lover” she said seeing his name come up.

“Hiya my Darling,” he said. “I am out on the west coast at the moment, how’s things with you?”

“Ohh fair, I haven’t had my favourite man for quite a while.”

“That’s definitely something to put right as soon as I get back.”

“So what can I help you with in the meantime?”

“We have some question marks over people we are associating with, Arthur’s running a check but it’s probably too far to drag you on a relatively small job, do you have any names of someone we can use while we are here.”

“We huh?”

He ignored the question, continuing, “Yes I’m building up quite a team and several sites to process but one of my new people is a high profile judge and I don’t want her situation compromised.”

“I see, it sounds delicate, so let’s see who we have to suggest.” She was gone a while so David perused his surroundings.

She came back “Well two names come to mind, one’s a woman in Los Angeles and the other’s a man in San Francisco.”

“Know anything about the man; he’s closest to us right now?”

“Only that his name is John Horsey[2], got a good reputation, they call him the horse.”

“Of course they do, I’m surrounded by men with huge dongles and women with a fetish for large ones. The ladies here came across a guy the other day with one so huge they called him the bull, he had a load of groupies known locally as his heifers.”

Aleesha laughed at the other end, “Why do I miss out with all the good ones!” she teased.

“Not you as well!”

“Well when my favourite ride isn’t around a girl thinks of such things,” she really poured on the tease causing him to laugh out loud.

“Oops I’m being overheard” he said, “could you text me his details? Thank you lover and I will definitely be teaching you the error of your ways when I get back. I might even bring Ana with a 10″ strap on if you’re a good girl.” He just heard, “Only ten?” followed by fits of laughter, as he disconnected.

Dawn returned accompanied by an older man with salt and pepper hair, although upright and fit looking. David noticed that Sophia was immediately impressed by him.

“Hi, I’m Aaron, [3]I understand, you want to have a look around the place.”

“Hello there, I wasn’t expecting the royal tour but thank you anyway.”

“That’s no problem son, things are quiet at the moment, and we can take our time if you want the full tour.”

David looked to his companions and they looked enthusiastic so he said, “Looks like they are eager so let’s do the full tour, it’s very kind of you.”

“No problem at all, always nice when someone shows interest, I am very proud to show people around.”

They were led through the café and kitchen out back to the farm proper, ‘they could have gone through the car park’ thought David which put him on alert. Their walk was actually very pleasant, close in there were smaller paddocks presumably where livestock were brought into perhaps to amuse visitors because as they walked David became aware of a rolling landscape dotted by hedges and groves of trees. There was even a substantial Orchard.

“I don’t see a house anywhere?” remarked David.

“You see that track,” he said pointing at a high hedgerow bisecting the land.

“No,” said David.

“Good,” said Aaron. That means our family landscaping has worked. This land has been in our family for generations and we have always valued our privacy, both the road and the house are hidden from prying eyes.” He led them to the hedge beyond which a road had been dug out, they followed it and were amazed as they came across a sprawling house of considerable size with lots of outbuildings, sheds, barns and garages.

“Wow!” said David’s group as so often ‘likeminded’ “this is something else.” Dawn and the ladies immediately went off to check out the chickens, the ponies, and the Llama’s.

Out of sight, Aaron turned to David and said, “So would you be interested in buying the place?”

David took a moment to compose himself and digest the sudden question. “I take it Dawn is related to you”

“Got it in one, your no slouch are you son?”

“After going through 6 months of hell from my wife I can’t afford to miss a trick,” David retorted.

“She did mention you were investment seekers from out East and she couldn’t figure that you would be in this part of the world for nothing.” David grinned. “She’s no slouch. I’ll give her that, although that can’t be why she brought us here today, she knew nothing about us until we chatted over lunch here.

“She has an eye for business, always said she is wasting her time in nursing, but she doesn’t want to take over here, or at least the farm and my son isn’t interested, he’s some highfalutin electrics geek in Silicon Valley. The wife and I have decided to spend our hard earned savings travelling and Dawn’s been on at us to sell the place and enjoy ourselves.”

“I am beginning to appreciate your daughter more by the minute.”

“She’s quite something, I just don’t know why she got hooked up with that husband, there’s something I can’t feel comfortable about and Dawn’s never the same when he’s around.

“Aaron, I’d like to talk to you but I need you to sign some confidentiality documents first.”

“Isn’t my word good enough for you boy?”

“Well no, we have only just met but more importantly I have no choice, the documents are to protect the lives of innocent women and children.”

“Ohh I see, Dawn was right, you are some kind of Government people.”

“Sign these for me and I’ll tell you more.” Pulling the sheets for the Retreats out from his trusty bag and a pen out of his pocket he handed them to the man.”

“What’s this Retreat thing then?” he asked as he read?

“It’ll all come to light in a moment, I am assured by teams of lawyers that these documents aren’t onerous in any way if you are the man of integrity that I think you are.”

“So what they are saying is that I won’t divulge anything you tell me but what about if I find out it’s criminal?”

“I think you will find there is something about that somewhere.”

He carried on reading and eventually conceded and signed, having done so he signed the other two without reading those.

“OK I’ve signed, so tell me what it’s all about.”

About 10 minutes later, the ladies joined them and David had to stop, Aaron turned to Dawn and said, “Sign these documents my girl so David can carry on talking to me.”

She looked cross at being spoken to like that but since 5 sets of eyes were willing her to do so, she eventually signed grudgingly.

“OK carry on my boy” Aaron ordered, David was beginning to get a mite irritated at being called ‘boy’ but he grit his teeth.

“What have I missed?” asked Dawn, the others took her away and filled in the blanks and eventually David overheard “Oh, oh, I see so that’s why all the secrecy, are you three members or what?” David took his concentration back to Aaron.

“So what do you see happening here?”

David could see the Dollar signs ringing up in Aarons mind. So he decided to play it down. “Well I have to start by saying we didn’t target this location generally which is why we are staying here, we’re using it because it’s central to other locations our experts have identified. However the house looks nice and large and there’s the existing business but I was thinking that Dawn might want to keep that going. Can you show us more, let’s take a look around the buildings and at any plans you have?”

They were to discover that the opportunity was much like their last one, perhaps not so much woodland to keep prying eyes away but that could be sorted longer term, they would need water and that went in his notebook. The farm land extended further too but he wondered if a neighbour would be interested in working it. Anything that extended the gap between the Retreat and the general public was to the good. However he wondered, ‘Is farming an option for women who are escaping, this farm did look diverse, but what about a golf course or any other land use?’

“There’s one thing I wanted to ask,” he turned to Aaron. “As a matter of course, we have the background of people and their immediate relatives checked out and even investigated if there are any question marks, if we continue any form of association with Dawn I want to investigate that husband and if there are any skeletons in the cupboard we won’t stop at reporting them to the authorities, what’s your reaction to that?”

“How can I help, is my reaction.”

“Well, you could tell me all you know so that we can get going fast, things like full name, place of work, other family members, known friends and associates, interests and hobbies.”

“Come with me, let’s brew some coffee and I’ll tell you all I know and then we’ll see what we can get out of Dawn without being too honest.”

David poured over the estate plans as they chatted and at the same time wrote down as much information as Aaron could think of; when in came the others. David started to say that they needed to do background checks when Dawn said she knew as the others had already told her. ‘What a team’ thought David and decided to let them take over, handing Elle the notepad as Ana and Sophia did the questioning.

When done, it seemed like time they moved on, so David said they would be doing a lot of background checking on what could be done as the Retreats had to be eventually self-funding and given the number of possible people living there it might be down to what the authorities would allow. Aaron shook hands acknowledging what David was saying but there was a gleam in his eyes as if he knew something the others didn’t.

On the way back, David texted back home to see if anyone had any feedback on the location, ‘it was lovely but what has it got for us?’ he wondered. Right then it was difficult to talk while Dawn was around but it could wait. Sophia was sitting next to him so he typed the question on the phone and showed it to her.

She responded, ‘It’s an inoffensive site as far as impact on anything else goes and in the middle of everywhere else. I’ve been looking it up, there’s a big push in the area for what they call Vernal pools, if we integrate them as hazards around the course it would probably help the cause.’

“So you like the site?”

“Yes, but I’m not sure why, it would certainly suit a Retreat, a big one even but as to what they could do there I don’t know yet.”

“Shall we go see if we can meet the Mayor?”

“We can but try.”

“Dawn, do you think the Mayor would see us at short notice?” asked David.

“For sure, him and my Dad are like this,” she crossed fingers over each other.

“Let’s go there then.” Sophia and he exchanged puzzled glances.

Their meeting with the Mayor proved difficult, not because he was like that but because it was difficult to talk to someone matter of factly who was a friend of the seller. Ana described to the Mayor what they did and he smiled encouragingly, she also asked if their talk would be completely confidential, and then if he would be prepared to sign, and he did so, no questions asked.

She continued, “Bottom line is Sir, our system works if the ladies can find businesses that will make the Retreats pay for themselves. In other areas we have Golf Courses or Hotels, Conference Centres and Event planning, even branch offices of existing businesses. I have to admit, I’m struggling on this one, granted it’s a nice farm and farm shop.

Why don’t you think that your previous successful ideas wouldn’t work here?

“Just pure demographics, and effective use of what is nice farmland,” replied David.

“Folks, I’m told you weren’t looking at this area and I think you are using criteria that doesn’t wash. There’s a big population here, no quality golf course and no top class Hotel, there’s an airport just up the road and we are not far from three decent size cities,” said the Mayor.

David pulled out his map and then it hit him that they had only been looking at populations in the West Coast States.

The Mayor continued, “The question is really about what the Ladies could do there. Well I’d say ‘all of the above’ so to speak. It would be nice to keep the farmland but this area is crying out for some innovation, there’s also a push to help recover endangered species of wildlife.”

“You mean like Vernal Pools?”

“Exactly” he gave a huge smile as if he was finally getting through.

Winding up the meeting Ana asked, “so assuming this works for us how would you like us to handle it from your point of view?”

“I’d say put together some outline proposals and drawings with all the background stuff. Then provided they meet the kind of ideals we have been talking about, I’ll get the other councillors to sign your confidentiality documents and we’ll discuss and come back with any questions, criticisms, and suggestions. You then put that into formal form and we’ll soon be off and running. I’m pretty sure you need to make the people with money happy first though, don’t you?” the Mayor finished with one of his beatific smiles again.

“Sounds good” finished Ana and they shook hands to leave. She didn’t think that anyone but her needed to know that David had final say.

As they were leaving Dawn lingered, so outside the door Sophia indicated to the others to go on while she sat on a convenient chair to look for something non-existent in her bag. Her sharp ears picked up “Your instincts have served you well again my dear these people seem perfect for the future of the town, if that damn factory and offices close down I don’t know what we will do.”

‘Interesting,’ thought Sophia and stood up to move silently away unnoticed.

As they drove Elle asked Dawn “Do you think you might want to join a retreat to escape?”

“Let’s just say, it’s very possible if my husband tries on any more unwelcome experiences.”

Elle nodded understandingly.

“I may need someone like you,” put in David.

“Why would you need someone with my skills, and I don’t just mean nursing?”

“Well I hope this doesn’t put you off but we have a tremendous responsibility for the safety of our women and there’s some right bastards out there who don’t think their wife’s should leave them.”

Ana stepped in “Don’t get us wrong Dawn, we have the security thing at the top of our list and have good people. I think a big issue in the future is going to be women joining us who are escaping violent husbands, and there could be very young babies or toddlers. Also our women really seem to like to get involved and that can mean travel, we need to protect them and their babies when away from Retreats.”

“So I would be a personal guard/nurse?”

“I suppose that depends if you have other skills you would prefer to use?” added Sophia with the benefit of overhearing her conversation.

Ana took up the point, “Looking after Mum’s is just an immediate requirement but that would mean a lot of unused standby time, so we would train you up on the other parts of the business while you are on the job, that way you can take an active role while you are with the Mother. It wouldn’t be a constant job with the Mums unless we continue to pick up sites at our present rate and that’s unlikely so you would need to find a niche for yourself.”

David was thinking as they talked and added “I think we would probably have you working alongside someone all of the time to get experience as quickly as possible, you seem to be good at including people and judging them if our experience is anything to go by so your eventual role may be involved with setting up the new Retreats as they come online, getting the women involved and starting up their new business operations. Dawn looked pensive but interested, asking questions all the way.

At her request, they dropped Dawn off at her workplace on the way to the Hotel and she checked whether there would be contact again soon. They assured her they would be in contact about the land one way or another unless she contacted them first about the job, in the meantime they had a lot to consider. “Don’t forget the party if you are still here,” she said finally.

When and where they asked and she gave the date and address.

Alone at last, Sophia filled them in on the conversation she overheard and they all put in their impressions and any information they had managed to glean. Elle suggested they could create a centre for local crafts to be exhibited and sold and there was overwhelming approval of the idea that made Elle glow with pride. David made a note to himself to encourage her more.

Their hours went by in a dream as they worked together finalising the deals, preparing ideas and proposals and discussing how they should proceed whilst spending hours wrapped together in a bubble of fun, pleasure and friendship. The world was something outside of their adventure until it became time that they were headed back to San Francisco much too soon. David decided it was time to talk about the future with Ana.

“Ana, I would like your opinion on how we go forward from here.”

“I don’t think I’m qualified to answer that yet.”

“OK then, would you consider taking the lead on this side of the country for a while?”

She was startled at that, “but where will you be?”

“I am thinking that we will continue running down new projects together but individually we will need to be flying in and out progressing projects. I need to give more time to the other ongoing sites and I can’t be everywhere. I am expecting to be this way for a higher percentage of time now, but I feel that we need someone to lead the way here. I have been so impressed with what you have done, I don’t feel as happy to rely on anyone as much as you.”

She looked pleased with the compliments and encouragement but at the same time beginning to worry about moving too quickly.

I am thinking that there are the beginnings of a team here but I am going to see if we can’t set up a training facility for new staff. It would really be about choosing the right people so we can leave them to get on with it. Whenever we can I’d like to travel with you, Elle or Sophia or both as we make such a good team. But I am realistic, Sophia as Miranda has her judging to do, not sure about Elle, would she want to change her life so completely and spend so much time away from Brynn, we know she’s got a marketing background but I feel she is much, much more.”

Changing the subject slightly he continued “I think our immediate problem is to progress the sites we have identified so far, to get them to the development stage. At the moment it’s easier to find opportunities because it’s a big pond to catch our fish but eventually I think we’ll be looking at a different kind of target, perhaps something much smaller like we originally envisaged.”

Ana’s face is pensive, “I think I need to go home before I can decide, I need to find out where I stand with Zoe as well as talking to Elle here. I have to admit that I’m still on steeply rising steps of experience and it would be helpful to spend time with Ruth, Rachael and just about everyone else, I also have to deal with my present employer. If this is going to happen I think we need a base for our people here, perhaps at the first reserve to come on line. We would also need to have people ready here for marketing and administration, so we need to know if Elle or Sharon are interested in a greater role and thus need to spend time training.

“I have to say David I think there’s too much to think about right away, we have just got some kind of relationship going and now you want to leave me on a different side of the continent, what’s that all about?” David realised that he had let his ideas run away with themselves again and spoke before he had thought out all the consequences.
