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.”
