Chapter 39

Homecoming was amazing!

Between four squealing ladies and a collie dog so happy to have me home that he nearly wagged his tail off, I was smothered in love and kisses. Benjamin picked up right where we left off at the airport, and stuck by me as if we hadn't been reunited just a few minutes earlier. Winnie squealed with all the vigor of the other four, and we'd been together almost twenty-four seven, since the mission kicked off in the Rockies.

Winnie had introduced Regina to my cadre, and then got to greet and present Desi. Fortunately meeting Desi took place while I was closeted with Tom Jackson, and that gave my ladies time to assimilate, or plan my demise. Either way, they were acting like old, dear friends when I arrived home.

Jim and Millie called to welcome me back and extracted my solemn promise to meet them for lunch the next day. Brian called to tell me he had finally scored with two girls at once – a thing I kept from Beth Ann just in case...

The cook had a sumptuous dinner on the table by the time we got in the door and satisfactorily hugged, kissed, squeezed, and hugged again. Over BBQ spare ribs and all the fixings, we gabbed for hours and hours. I kept saying, "I missed you all SO MUCH!" It just kept coming out until I had them saying it, too.

Colleen had been out to Monaco to spend a few days and handle the yacht purchase, making Rebecca and Beth Ann the neediest. Beth Ann had been distracted going back and forth to see Brian on a regular schedule. Winnie and Regina showed Desi the bedroom they set aside for her and got her settled while I filled in the other three on Desi's special circumstances. The girls went from kidding me about kidnapping random women and spiriting them away to America, to red-in-the-face, hopping mad, about Desi father and uncle's plans to hurt her.

Colleen got the Amazon Warrior Woman look, and declared, "Call the new Security people and make dead certain that if anybody from the Russian mob comes sniffing around, they are to put them down, no questions asked!" She meant it, and I could see the combination of anger and fury at Desi's family, coupled with compassion for her plight. That made me certain they had already accepted her as part of our family, and God help anyone who tried to hurt her.

I was tired but not sleepy, so we moved our party to the big bed and played kissy face – huggy body until we got down to serious business.

Rebecca was clearly the neediest, and the first one I bedded. Our lovemaking was spirited but also gentle. We were vocal but not loud, and energetic without being aggressive. When Rebecca was finally satisfied and sleeping the sleep of the dead, I turned my attention to Beth Ann and Colleen. They were vibrating with desire and took no time to push over the edge, and I keep sending them there until they both cried uncle.

Three down, two to go, if you don't count Desi, who got hers on the plane. Winnie was easy. We'd spent enough time as just a couple to understand how to quickly take care of her needs. In the calm after crazy, fun, loving sex with four gorgeous women, we talked about Regina. "She is absolutely panting for it, Carl," Colleen offered. She diagnosed it perfectly, but I was still reticent.

"I put her on a birth control shot. She's safe, even though you are sterile, anyone else she might want to be with won't be." Rebecca would think ahead.

I wasn't really ready to wrap my head around one of my girls being with someone else, so I let that comment go. "Thank you. That was the smart thing to do," I said quietly.

"Oh, don't be a baby. There's no chance she's going to give it up to anyone else. I don't what it is about you, but none of us have any desire to broaden our sexual horizons," Colleen hit me right where I lived. She knew the thought of Regina spreading her legs for another man would tear me apart.

We chatted until Regina and Desi showed up to sleep with us. I was inordinately pleased that Desi and Regina wanted to join our mini commune and share the communal bed. Mr. Johnson caught a whiff of Regina, and it about set him crazy, but Beth Ann came to my rescue and provided emergency relief.

The things I do for my women...

In the morning I had a new experience. My company in the shower was provided by Regina and Desi. They slithered out of bed to go with me when I got up and stayed to bathe. We had a marvelous time reducing our stress levels in purely natural ways.

The day was spectacular, and I was thrilled to be home, with my family – plus two – and my puppy. Benjamin was determined to stick beside me no matter what, and when you saw me, you saw him trailing along. Each time I stopped and sat down, he promptly moved in and sat on my foot.
