The next morning I awoke alone. I lay on the bed naked and uncovered with the sun streaming in through the window. As I looked out at paradise I felt like I had been deposited in the Garden of Eden. It was a fleeting thought however as I contemplated what might have become of my companions. I also had concerns about how Adam might feel about the all night threesome. The smell of breakfast being prepared began to waft into the room. As I swung my legs off the bed planning to investigate, I was happy to see a man's robe laid out for me on a nearby chair. Since I thought there might be a cook preparing food in Shelia's kitchen I wasn't to keen on walking out of the bedroom naked. When I did go out what I found was mildly surprising. It was Shelia cooking and Reggie was nowhere in sight. She was wearing a shear nearly see thru robe that somehow made her look even more enticing then when I saw her naked.
She turned and greeted me warmly with smile, "Good morning sexy boy! Sleep well?"
"Famously, thank you and good morning to you hot stuff."
She giggled and dropped the spatula before running over to me. She kissed me hard and then said that she hoped I was hungry. I told her that I was as she returned to her cooking. When I asked about Reggie she explained that he had to catch an early chopper. Some business or the other needed attending.
"He said to thank you for a grand evening and tell you that he hopes you will fuck him again sometime." She added in such a sweet way that it didn't sound at all crude.
We ate at the counter in her kitchen and then showered together. To my delight we made love again in the shower; ending with her bracing herself against the tile wall while I screwed her from behind. I was surprised to find that she had had clothes brought down from my room in the main house. As we dressed I decided that I should ask about my host.
"Shelia, I have to ask you something. Is Adam going to be ok with what happened last night?" I said rather shyly.
"What happened that you think he might have a problem with, John?" She shot back in the way an old grammar school teacher of mine used to talk.
"Oh I see how it is. You and Reggie fuck me until I am dizzy and then play games the next morning," I snapped feeling a little embarrassed and a lot angry.
"Whoa, tiger. You don't have anything to worry about as far as Adam is concerned. He makes no claim on you," She said calmly in the face of my obvious anger.
"And you and his buddy Sir Reginald, he doesn't make claims there either?" I asked somewhat confused.
"He doesn't make those kind of claims on anyone. Fuck you are in the damn brotherhood! You should understand this shit," She replied clearly becoming pissed at my questions.
Impulsively, I grabbed her arm and took her face in my other hand. I stared into her eyes preparing to defend the brotherhood from an outsider.
"I don't know what the hell you know about our fraternity or why you know it. But I am sure that no member no matter how close you may be would tolerate it being spoken about in that tone," I said in a purposefully menacing tone.
She was visibly shaken by my outburst.
"John, please, I am sorry. I just didn't; know why you were so concerned. As for what I know about the brotherhood and how I know it, I am the personal assistant to the grand poobah, babe. I believe the term you guys use is a chick with special status. That being as it may you were quite correct to call me on my tone when speaking to a brother."
Her sudden contrite posture threw me off. I wondered if Adam had made her some sort of auxiliary member and she feared I would turn her in for punishment.
"I'm sorry too, Shelia," I said letting go her arm. "It was odd hearing the brotherhood being spoken of by a woman. Your irreverence on top of that set me off."
As I finished my sentence Adam entered the room.
"As well it should, brother John. Your instincts are amazing," he said offering his hand.
"Good morning, greetings brother," I said as I took his hand.
"Sheila there are some papers on my desk that need your attention. Jeff Cord agreed to the terms last night. John, if you would join me on my daily walk I think we could clear up some of those question spinning around in your head."
Shelia acknowledged her orders and headed for the main house as Adam and I headed down a path that seemingly disappeared into the dense foliage. In places the path wasn't even wide enough for the two of us to walk abreast. In those places I slipped behind Adam. After about a quarter of a mile we came to a longs series of steps that were carved into the terrain. The gently sloping stairs disappeared just ahead of us as it turned around one of the island's jutting rock formations. Adam spoke for the first time since leaving the cottage as we began to climb the stone stairway.
"John, this route is a bit of a workout, but well worth the effort," Was all he said.
The lack of conversation was unsettling.
"Adam, I am sorry if I have disappointed you," I managed to say as we made our way around the huge rock.
"Don't be ridicules. You have done nothing but make me proud and delighted that I have vested my faith in you."
"I thought maybe my sleeping with Shelia and Reggie might be an issue."
"Not at all. I was somewhat surprised that Shelia was so interested in you truthfully, but I never had a doubt that Sir Reggie would get that hot cock of yours somehow."
"Then why the silence? Is there a problem with me having fucked Shelia?"
"Of course not. If you want to talk then talk. I am just focused on getting to the destination. As for Shelia I said I was surprised not angry."
"Are you saying she acted uncharacteristically last night?" I asked growing ever more curious.
"In the ten years that I have known Shelia she has almost never impulsively slept with a guy she just met. She has never gone bed with any other brothers your age. She tends to be more conservative in her choice of sex partners. Now don't get me wrong she is a wild one behind closed doors with a select few and as you know she is an amazing fuck."
"Wow," Was the only thing that came from my mouth.
Though my exclamation was partially due to Adam's words the major cause was the view that had suddenly sprung up before us. As we came around another turn it seemed the whole of the belly of island was laid out. The foliage was like a green tarp laid out leading to the sparkling azure sea beyond. The splendor of nature's canvas was stunning.
"Is this what you brought me to see?" I asked as I stared awestruck at the view.
"Only in part; our destination is still some distance away. It is a place I take very few people. I think of it as my private Eden," He said in a sincere and almost reverent tone.
"Adam this whole island is paradise," I sighed happily.
"Some parts more so that others," He retorted as the steps began to descend into the small valley.
When we again reached soft ground I heard the faint sound of a stream or small river gurgling nearby. As we moved through the thickening vegetation the gurgle became louder. About fifteen minutes after leaving the stone steps behind we emerged into a clearing. Directly in front of me I could see swift moving stream. But there was nothing to explain the loudest of the water until Adam took hold of shoulders and turned me around. I shaded my eyes from the sun and there appeared a pristine stream of foamy water cascading down the rock face.
He slipped his arms around me, kissed the back of my neck and then whispered in my ear, "Very few humans have ever beheld this sight."
