Chapter 24: Welcome Home

Dave awoke Monday morning with Kim and Pam each partially atop his nude body. He recalled the ride home from Christiansted and their games on the bus, and it forced a broad smile on his face. He gently got each woman to move, and slipped out from between them. As he did, he noted the pungent aroma of sex and aroused woman – remnants of their games the night before.

Greg, Sean, and Izzy had been with them for a while the night before. Dave recalled Izzy riding his cock and begging for his load deep inside her tiny body. She claimed that cum made her complexion spotless, regardless of how her body received it. She then laughed until tears filled her eyes at the urban myth.

Pam and Kim somehow worked their bodies into the warm space Dave had vacated. Their arms went around each other and they were soon back asleep.

Dave used the shower off of the villa’s room, and wondered briefly where Alice Grace, his assigned roommate had slept. He drew prurient pleasure and arousal from knowing which women slept with which men, especially his ten wives.

After his shower and shave, Dave dressed in a bathing suit and t-shirt and headed down to the breakfast area on the patio. He was pleased to see Odessa standing at her omelet preparation station taking an order from Oliver. As he neared, she saw him and lit up with a bright smile. “Good morning, Mr. Dave. Did you and all the others have fun in the town last night?”

“We did, especially on the bus coming home.”

Odessa laughed, “I heard about that this morning from Devon, one of the cooks. He also drives one of the jitneys, and I think you were on it. He said he almost ran off the road watching five of you fucking merrily away in the back of his bus. He was grateful that no one messed up the seats on the little bus.”

Oliver stated ruefully, “I was obviously on the wrong bus. We just sat and dozed on the way home.” He took his omelet and headed off to join some others to eat.

Odessa said, “Was your offer to travel with you to Florida today serious? I brought my bags with me just in case it was.”

Dave said it was serious. Where is your suitcase? I’ll make sure it gets taken to the airport with the others.”

Odessa pointed to a large black trash bag, and a tattered cardboard box. “We’re too poor to afford a suitcase. My clothes are in the bag. My cosmetics and stuff, such as they are, are in the box. I don’t use much. We can’t afford it.” She worried the omelet for a few seconds. “I don’t mind, really. It’s how I grew up. I’m used to it.”

Dave made a note to himself to get her a regular carry-on bag. If this worked out the way he hoped, she’d be traveling back and forth to the island a lot since her home and parents were there.

Odessa said, “What time are you all leaving?”

Dave said, “I think the jitneys will be waiting for us about ten o’clock this morning, plus a truck that will take all the luggage. We won’t see it again until we’re in Florida. I’ll be sure you and your bag and box get on the bus with me.”

“That’ll work out for me perfectly,” she said. “I finish work right at ten o’clock, and then I’m off for the United States.” She grinned happily. “I’ve never been on an airplane. I’ve only seen them flying over. I’ve never even been near one.”

Dave said, “If you’re worried you can sit with me. I’m also a pilot, and I can perhaps help any anxiety you may have.”

“Oh, no,” she exclaimed. “I am excited beyond belief that I will get to travel with all of you. This is such a treat. I feel like I am leaving one life behind to enter into an entirely new life. I’m being reborn – and after an eight-year or so gestation period I will become a doctor. The new life makes me worried but my momma said to just take each day at a time.”

“That’s sage advice,” Dave said. “No one in this group or the larger group you’ll meet at the Circle wants to see you troubled, anxious, hurt, or in trouble, so we will be watching out for you just the way we watch out for each other. We are a very caring group.”

Odessa grinned, “And you all have sex a lot. Last night I read about a hundred pages of Cricket’s book. I discovered many things, including things specifically about you and your first wife Alice.”

Dave chuckled, “Well, you met some of them during this visit including Alice.”

“Yes. I’ve never known a man who had more than one wife, and you have TEN! My God, you must have unlimited stamina.” She smiled.

Dave burst out laughing at that statement. “Not quite, darling Odessa, but I do try to do everything I can to please the women I make love with. Keep reading in that book, you’ll learn much more about the Circle.”

Odessa said, “I’ll be reading on the airplane when I’m not looking out the window.”

Dave joined Stacy, Gary, Tori, and Alice Grace at a breakfast table. As had been the practice earlier, the women were sitting there naked absorbing the rays of the morning sun. He slipped in and started to eat, allowing the conversation they were already having to continue uninterrupted by his presence.

Eventually, Tori said, “I heard you are taking Odessa home with you and getting her started to become a doctor at the university.”

Dave nodded, “Well, she’ll start as an undergraduate pre-med major. She’s pretty motivated, but I suspect she’ll need some tutoring. I have a hunch that junior high and high schools on this island aren’t as rigorous as they are stateside.”

Tori said, “I talked to her when I was getting breakfast. She’s so excited she may spontaneously combust any second. She’s so pretty and so nice. You are doing a great thing. I volunteer to mentor her in any way I can, although I’m an hour away. I would drive down to work with her, if you’re ever shorthanded to have someone support her please call me. I hope I become as pleasant as she is to work with.”

“You are, honey. You needn’t worry. You come across as very friendly and compassionate, just like your mom. Kind people do not abound in this world, but you are obviously one of them.”

“Thank you. I wish we’d had time this trip to be together. I miss you. The next time you come up to The Meadows, please plan to spend an hour with me.”

“Now, how could I turn down an invitation from the hottest girl in the state? I will do just that.” He leaned over and the two exchanged a very hot kiss. Dave allowed one of his hands to stroke her bare breasts ending at the white-hot nipple, and she responded by pushing gently into his hand.

Dave whispered to her, “We do have about forty-five minutes before we have to be ready for the buses.”

Tori grinned at him and pushed her plate away from her. “Come with me.”

At dinner Monday night, Dave stood and introduced Odessa to the Circle. She’d met a few people already late that afternoon after the bus got back to the Circle and disgorged the thirty travelers who’d gone to St. Croix. Dave had also taken her around during the cocktail hour, but still there were many she hadn’t met.

Part of the afternoon with Odessa had been spent showing her one of the guest rooms in the core. She got introduced to Kellie and the two bonded rapidly when they learned they were both on the unusual scholarships that the Bennett Foundation provided. Kellie was more worldly, and took Odessa under her wing, and also promised to show her around the university.

The Circle was also a buzz about the graduation party that would take place in two weeks, starting Saturday afternoon and ending Sunday afternoon, if anyone were still around. Odessa couldn’t imagine a party with a couple of hundred people.

One of the first things Dave did was raid the pile of suitcases the family had accumulated from various trips around the world. He found a slightly used case in good condition, and brought it to Odessa. “Here is a suitcase for you to have. It’s yours. Someday, you may want one more to your liking, but this is one my family has that we don’t use anymore. I think this will hold most of what was in your bag and box.”

Odessa’s eyes got glassy. She said in a slightly sad tone, “No one in my family ever had a suitcase, and this one has wheels, too. We used trash bags and boxes, like I did to come here.”

Dave hugged the gorgeous dark-skinned girl. “This is the start of many good things that will happen to you and your family. We are glad to help.”

“All because I made you an omelet?”

“All because you made me an omelet. I told you that was my specialty, although next weekend I’ll be away, you could even take my place and prepare omelets for those in the Circle that want them.”

“You’d let me do that?” She sounded in disbelief.

“Certainly. We’ll share the duty, and maybe even have a contest about who can make the most creative omelets.”

“Oh, dear.”

Everyone in the Circle applauded Odessa as she stood after her introduction at dinner. She said a few words of thanks about the scholarship, the trip to Sarasota from St. Croix, her first airplane ride, and how she was amazed at the Circle and everybody. A few people near her stood and gave her hugs.

Dave had explained about the dress code for the Circle. Odessa had shown up wearing a pair of pink underpants. Alice asked whether she had a bikini, and she’d been told that they were too expensive, so no, she didn’t have a bathing suit. When she’d gone swimming it was usually nude. Five minutes later, Odessa had a bikini that Cricket was glad to contribute to the cause. The two women were small and about the same size as far as clothing.

Odessa liked that most of the women only wore their monokinis. Of course, for the past few days on St. Croix, all the visitors at Mark’s villa had been nude or close to it. She was used to it. She was also used to the open sexuality the Circle practiced, although Dave told her people would give her a respite and not hit on her for a few days.

Odessa said with a smile, “I want to be hit on. I like sex, and everyone is so nice.”

“In the Circle the idea is to cultivate friendships and then enjoy sex, but the other way around is all right, too.” Odessa had laughed.

Odessa devoured Cricket’s book, and was so impressed to meet her. Then Odessa learned that Cricket had written other books, some of them best sellers, and that just boggled her mind that she’d met someone famous.

Felicity had been on the plane to the Caribbean, but it was only after a day in the Circle that Odessa learned her new friend was a movie star. A MOVIE STAR! She almost wet her pants she was so excited at the realization. THEN she learned that Dave was also married to ANOTHER movie star. Scarlett was home, friendly, and gave Odessa a hug that turned on everyone in the Circle when they saw their dark and light breasts pushed together.

On Wednesday, Owen took Odessa to the university and got her enrolled as a student. Owen had a way of cutting through most of the red tape. The school administrators promised to contact UVI and get her transcript and other information transferred to them. Kellie took Odessa around the campus and gave her a student-oriented tour of all the cool places to know about and go. They hung out together in the student union, although the place was quiet and awaiting the graduation ceremony in a week or so. There were several other forays to the university during the week to meet some professors, and to get tested for placement in some of the pre-med courses or their prerequisites.
