Chapter 29

When we got back I went to look for Mom and found her out in the hot tub. My whole crew was here, but Jacob, Holly, and Jenny weren't. I wanted to get in and join the fun, especially since Tolishanea and Kamakeata were on a slave slang roll, keeping everybody else laughing.

Instead, I asked Mom to come talk with me for a while. Even though she had miscalculated lately, in my opinion she was still a great judge of how people would act and react. I wanted to put her in the know about Jacob and what he was up against with Kim.

Dad was in his study so Mom and I went into their bedroom.

"What's on your mind, Jimmy?"

"You mean besides your beautiful body?"

"I'm guessing that there's something else right now, or you would have just joined us in the hot tub."

"You're right. I'm a little worried about Jacob. I don't think we can really do anything about it, but I do think I should tell you what he's told me."

"Let me guess. Kim raised hell about all the women and girls he was groping in the pool while she was out here," Mom said.

"Bingo, Mom. You hit it right on the head. He said Kim didn't really tell him to cut it out. She just assumed she couldn't compete and she doesn't even intend to try. He said she didn't want to get involved in something like that."

"She's even smarter than I thought, and if he can, I think he should just cut his losses and look elsewhere. How deep is the hook?"

"I'm not sure but I think it's pretty deep. Of course, now that we've canceled the sharing he doesn't think he's too far out of compliance with her wishes. He doesn't think she's even considering his Mom and Aunt."

"She probably isn't, but if he's determined to have Kim even that will come out after a while," she said.

"He said if he did tell her he'd be faithful, he would stop anything with them too."

"The hook is set then. He wouldn't even consider something like that unless she all ready meant a lot to him. I'll have to say I'm really surprised. It can't just be her looks, even though she is a beauty. They must have found a connection that's deep, and they did it fast," she said.

"That's what I was afraid of."

"What's to be afraid of? If they can work it out they might end up happier than any of us? Jack and I were nearly that close at first, but somehow he just got the urge to stray a little. I didn't really mind, but I wasn't exactly happy about it, just pragmatic.

"You're a different story, and I'm not just bragging on you. Somehow you can make a woman feel that she's the only one in your life, even though the evidence that she isn't is lying naked beside you both. I was really surprised by that too, and I've spent a good bit of time talking to Gail, Judith, and Kathleen about it, separately of course.

"All three of them love you better than tea cakes, and somehow they aren't a bit jealous of each other. In fact, they've gotten really close over it and they seem to think of you, Shelly, and Shelia nearly as one person, so they aren't jealous of the twins at all either," she said.

"That's almost unbelievable I know, and I am happy about it, but what are we going to do about Jacob?"

"We shouldn't do anything except tell him what we think if he asks us something. He might be making a big mistake and he might make the best decision of his life, but we have to let him do it and then deal with the results.

"I'm pretty sure he will talk it over thoroughly with his mother and his aunt, and I'm sure that's the best thing. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

"If Jacob wants a harem, like you've gathered, I'm sure that we can help him get one of his own. It isn't for everyone though or even for most people. He, and the women he gets involved with have to make those decisions. It came to you almost naturally. I'm sure that Shelly and Shelia had a lot to do with it and I'm sure I did too. Maybe it isn't right for Jacob," Mom said.

"I guess you're right, and now that you mention it, having a bunch of partners isn't the way things usually go. I'm worried now that things with Kathy might run aground," I said.

"I think you are in for one of the biggest surprises of your life with Kathy. I can't put my finger on why I feel that way, but I will say Kathy seems to look at the rest of the girls here as a bunch of older sisters. You'll have to take your time with her, but I think she's going to fit in perfectly. Jack told me you plan to marry her, later," Mom said, grinning now.

"It just hit me all of a sudden, and it seemed so right at the time. I didn't take time to consider how everyone else would feel about it," I said, sheepishly.

"It's just my opinion, or maybe my hope, but I think it is perfect, and I think you should start thinking of all the girls in your group as wives, even though you can have only one in the eyes of the law. We just won't let the law do much looking around out here," Mom said.

We left her bedroom then and found everyone at the counter, eating soup and sandwiches. They'd instigated a meal without us, but they did have food ready for us too.

Shelly and Shelia started in right away, asking what part of the facts of life I was having explained to me this time and Dad surprised me by laughing the loudest.

"You two have to admit that the facts of Jimmy's life may take a little more advice than the facts for others," he said, grinning.

"Yes they do, and if he isn't careful, we might give him a pop quiz," Shelly and Shelia said, in their usual unison.

Poor Barbara looked like she couldn't figure out what we were talking about. I probably needed to explain it to her in person. After everyone was in bed would probably be a good time to get started.

Jacob, Holly, and Jenny were pretty quiet during the meal, and they wandered off almost as soon as it was over. Dad and Mom disappeared into their bedroom, leaving me and my girls to entertain Barbara. I sidled up and invited her to join the rest of us for a movie.

I let the others choose and for once we ended up watching a comedy. I was glad, because it meant I wouldn't have to deal with a lot of sniffling after it was over. When it was done, bedtime was declared without dissent and we headed upstairs.

I had Barbara on my mind, but when I got into the twins room, she got off it. I grabbed Shelly as soon as she was naked and pushed her onto the bed, initiating foreplay on the way down. It was a great effort, even if I do say so myself, but with the help of the lord and a good strong dick, I was able to get every one of them off before I crashed.

I woke early the next morning and so did everyone in the bed. We couldn't all get into the shower at once, but I stayed through the whole group so they could have needed help applying soap. We were all laughing and teasing after we dried and headed downstairs.

Mom, Tolishanea, and Kamakeata had eggs, bacon, and a mountain of toast ready and we dug in as soon as we could get seated. Jacob, Holly, and Jenny weren't far behind us either and I was surprised to see that they all seemed cheerful this morning.

I think Barbara was surprised she was the last arrival. She almost blushed when I called her sleepyhead, but she realized I was just joking. After we'd eaten, I cornered Dad before he got away.

"Can you ask the contractor to come out and give us some ideas for the exercise room and martial arts space," I asked.

"I'll have Julian call him as soon as I get to the office. Do you have any ideas?"

"I think we can cover everything if we convert four of the bedrooms into open space, if that'll be ok."

"It sounds fine to me and I'm pretty sure I remember that moving the walls around isn't supposed to be any problem. I don't think partition walls on the first floor bear any of the weight for the second."

"Great, just have her ask him to call me if he can come out, and I'll be sure to meet him here," I said.

Dad agreed and then left to dress for work. Luckily for me, Holly and Jenny were taking care of their own things and didn't seem to need any help from me. Barbara said she'd be able to take care of everything for her project, if I could get her the space and I told her I would.

I decided to call April, May, or June to get a time set for massage table shopping. I punched in their number and May answered, sounding like she hadn't been up long.

"Hello."

"This is Jimmy, I was calling to see if you knew a convenient time for us to go shopping for the massage table," I said.

"I can be ready in an hour if you'd like."

"That sounds great. I'll see you in an hour," I said, and rang off.

I was ready to leave the house now though, before anything else came up. I went out, got into my Vette, and headed for the dealership where Bill was overseeing the work on our vehicles. He was back in among the goings on when I got there, but he walked over to me when he spotted me coming.

"Hello Jimmy, did you come to crack the whip?" he asked.

"Not really, I have to take care of something for Dad and I don't know much about it. I came to see if you could give me any hints."

"I will if I can, what's up?" he asked.

"Dad wants an airstrip and helipad out by the house, but he said that we can't put in fuel tanks..."

"Air strip and helipad, I didn't know any of you were pilots," he said, interrupting.

"We aren't, yet. He's going to hire an instructor or two and buy a plane and helicopter. He's decided that I need to learn, and Jacob is going to take the lessons too," I said.

"You may have some trouble with this, Jimmy. You aren't old enough to do it legally yet, but if you're going to have your own strip, your own plane, and your own helicopter you're going to have enough money to get the training even if you can't get a license.

"If I were you, I wouldn't mention it to anyone that you don't have to," Bill said.

"It sounds like you know more than a little about it," I said.

"I have a Private Pilot's License and I like to fly. I also think I can put you in touch with an instructor that might be convinced to help you out. She's an excellent pilot and instructor for both fixed wing and rotary, and she is not a fan of FAA regulations. She was in the military and has trained for combat, though she never flew any combat missions," Bill said.

"That would be great, do you think you could feel her out for me?"

"Sherry would kill me if I started feeling around on Jerrilyn," he said, and then laughed.

"You know what I mean."

"Yes I do, and I'll talk to her for you. Do you know what kind of aircraft you'll be looking for?"

"Not a clue, Dad just said to get them, he doesn't have any idea what we need either. He did say he wants me to learn to fly by instruments and also multi engine," I said.

"He is going to be spending a lot of money on aircraft then, but I don't guess it matters," Bill said.

"I don't guess so. He told me to get them and I'm not going to waste enough time to let him change his mind."

"Sounds like a plan to me, I'll talk to her and let you know something as soon as I can," he said.

"We have another problem with the helipad and airstrip though, and I need some more information if you know it."

"What?"

"Dad said there's too much red tape involved in putting fuel tanks in the ground, so we thought we could buy one of those tank trucks and just put it in a barn or something near the strip. Do you know anything about them?"

"As a matter of fact, I do. I drove a truck for a few years and I can help you out there too. I'm assuming you want a top of the line tractor and money isn't the first concern," Bill said.

"Right again. I want one of those big ones with the tall stacks like on Mom's pickup."

"Why don't you pick a day you'd like to go look at them and I'll take off? We'll go around and check out what's available."

"That sounds great, can we go Thursday?"

"I'll be ready Thursday morning and we can go truck shopping," he said.

I was running out of time for this visit so I said goodbye and headed over to pick up May. She gave me directions to a medical supply place. I would have never guessed it was where you'd buy massage supplies because of all the hospital beds and walkers and other things there.

They had plenty of massage things too though, and I had to spend about fifteen minutes convincing May to buy the top of the line things. As it was I still felt like a penny pincher when we left, there was only so much you could spend for massage therapy, even though I had her get three of everything she even looked at.
