Dave returned to the camp in the early hours of Boxing Day. The camp was quiet, Ruby the only one moving as she bent over the open fire cooking crabs. He stopped to admire her tiny black body.
What a difference clothes can make, he thought, as he studied her with her feet bare in her day to day gear of denim shorts and shirt.
“My god Ruby you looked horny last night in that red dress,” he called.
“Thanks boss,” she grinned and blushed. “If I were you I wouldn’t tease me, remember I’ve got the most favours to redeem from the Xmas pudding.”
Charlie and Albert had been cleaning up after last night’s party. They both collared Dave dragging him off down to the beach. “Listen boss,” Albert said. “We’ve got something to tell you.”
Charlie broke in, “Ruby wants to spend a night with you. She asked me if I would let her and I agreed.” Dave started to speak but Charlie waved him quiet. “Mate, Ruby and I are partners. I told her she doesn’t need to ask me.”
“I love that girl, we’re going to make a good life together, but I’m old. I’m not as virile as I once was. I know she loves you. She keeps telling me what a change you have brought to her life.”
“She spoke to Albert because he is her brother. She thinks because she’s an aborigine that you may not desire her. We’ll understand if you don’t want to, it’s up to you. We just thought we’d tell you, that we would love you two to get together.”
Dave had sat stunned as they spoke. “Thanks boys,” he said when he regained his composure. “First Ruby is beautiful, and her colour or background doesn’t worry me.”
“I’d be thrilled to sleep with her; I am amazed that she wants to, just as I am constantly amazed that beautiful girls like Annabelle Donna and Betsy would want me.
I can’t believe how lucky I am to have them love me.”
“To tell you the truth I’m really starting to worry that they think they have a duty to fuck me.”
“Let me finish,” he said as they both objected. “I’m overwhelmed by the way the ladies treat me. They are all so wonderful, so beautiful, I love them all.”
“None of them owe me anything. I am the winner in this whole deal. The change to my life has been fantastic. I just love to come home to my family. Three months ago I came home to an empty boat. Now I come home to an island full of love. I have never been so happy in my whole life.”
He looked up when Charlie pointed behind him.
He swung around to see they had been joined as they spoke by most of his family.
“Shit how much have you heard?” he cried as his embarrassment made his voice quiver.
Annabelle was nursing her baby as she came forward and sat in the sand beside him.
“It really doesn’t matter what we’ve heard. I’m sure I speak for everyone else, when I say I could feel the love in your voice. It made my toes tingle, it made me want to jump you into bed right here and now.”
“We love you for what you are. It’s true we love you for what you’ve done, but you’ve done all this because you’re so kind, so loveable. We all want to mother you and keep you safe in or arms. When you return that love we become complete.”
“Don’t fight it, enjoy it,” She said as she kissed him on the cheek.
Dave was overwhelmed by the hugs and kisses, with a scrum of women telling him they loved him.
“While this ‘love in’ is continuing we could arrange a special family meeting.” Matron said as she started issuing orders. “Albert go and round up everyone, we meet in ten minutes under the Moreton Bay fig, and everyone including visitors are welcome.”
“Did some of visitors stay over?” Dave asked.
“Yes, others went home and came back; we asked them all to have the day with us.” Matron explained.
“Don’t worry the girls and I have it all planned. After our meeting we are going to run the net and get some fresh fish, check the crab pots and collect oysters.”
“That will keep them all busy before we have a fresh seafood lunch. We plan to do what we did the other day. We’ll set up the table in the water so the tide can flood around us and keep us cool.”
Dave looked around; in addition to his family he spotted Madison, Chloe, Grace and Abigail from the shelter. They looked far more relaxed this morning. Madison in shorts showed a fine pair of legs.
My god, that pair are hot, Dave thought as he continued checking out the visitors. He had spied Fred James wife Carol, wearing the tightest of tiny shorts and a string bra. She sat with her daughter Mandy whose shorts were so tight he wondered how she got in and out of them. Their trim pampered bodies made his mouth water.
Rosita smiled as his eyes swept by and then returned. She was stunning in a one piece bathing costume that hugged her generous hips and displayed her fine brown tits.
“Righto!” Matron said as she gave him a dig in the ribs, “study the girls later, let’s start.”
“We have decided that we can’t keep calling our home the hut. We want to give it a proper name. So Fred James and his family helped us have a name board carved out of an old cedar log. Turn round for a minute while I get Carol and Mandy to come here and help.”
She led the three of them over to a pile of blankets and clothes at the entrance to the hut.
When they were removed, Dave was stunned to see that the big old log had had been cleaned and preserved. The words, ‘The Haven’ had been carved on its side.
“It has become a haven,” Annabelle said. “We originally picked ‘Dave`s Haven.’ Given the talk down in the town we thought The Haven may not cause as much gossip, nor offend some of their tiny minds. So our official address is The Haven, Fisherman’s Island.”
“Mandy and Carol with the help of Fred picked the log and had it floated over to the village. They hired a wood carver to do the work, before they brought it back.”
You’d better give them a kiss and say thank you.” Matron said, as she pushed Dave towards Mandy.
Young Mandy giggled, she leant forward and held Dave`s head, kissing him long enough to draw whistles and cheers from the mob.
“My god Carol,” Donna said, “you’ve got a lot to beat.” Dave looked into Carol`s eyes as she pantomimed licking her lips and baring her teeth. When she kissed, he realised she wasn’t joking.
Carol devoured him. Holding his head back, she stuck her tongue out and licked up his lips. Dave was responding. She nibbled his now open mouth lightly, before her mouth closed over his, sucking and biting. Her tongue worked wonders. Dave could feel his cock expanding in his pants. “The oldies are better,” she announced to the cheering mob, as she finally eased her mouth from his, her eyes noting the tent in his pants.
“How is the money holding out boss?” Albert asked as Dave and Charlie joined him under the fly and opened a beer. “Ok why?” Dave asked. “Salome and I can get a little shop building from that village at the back of our island. The developer was going to knock it down so he can clear the block for units.”
“I gave him a hand, doing a bit of maintenance work on his boat on a couple of weekends. “He tried to pay me, but I was just helping out so I knocked his money back. He has been a good mate ever since. Last week he took me over to the shop and said, “if its here at the end of the month I’m going to have to bulldoze it.”
“We walked around it and I told him that it was a shame to knock it down. He stunned me when he said I could have it, if I took it away.”
“Salome’s picked out a spot at the back of the Haven We reckon Charlie and Ruby could live there with us.”
Matron joined in. “You have invited so many people to join your family that even a building the size of the Haven is starting to bulge at its seams.”
“When Albert told us about this building we thought it a good opportunity to talk about our future.
Your family members can be quite properly accommodated in the Haven. But babies are coming and we would like to talk about them.”
“We also need to talk about costs, about paying our way, for example Government social security.”
“No dole here,” Dave said “you can all work; there is a lot of value adding we can do to our catch.”
“That’s all right but they want to know what they have to do. Give them responsibility for particular jobs. Granny in the kitchen, Esther in charge of house keeping, Salome fishing, Ruby crabbing. You know what I mean make them feel they are doing something valuable to help.”
He grabbed Matron and kissed her, “you’re appointed boss,” he said as he swiped her across the bottom. She protested but he waved her protests away. “I know you only come up when you’re off work, but that’s enough for all of us to see what an organiser you are. You’ve been worth your weight in gold over the past few weeks. So that’s it, your boss, discuss it with the family and allocate jobs and responsibilities.”
He turned to address them all, “you don’t have to have an island job. Those who want to keep their jobs in town like Matron, can still live up here. We can run a boat down to the market twice a day and pick up workers.”
“Now let’s get back to Alberts building. Has anyone any questions or ideas?”
