Trish and Dave entered the main restaurant at 7:30 and saw that the six Gendarmes were already at the bar. Jacques caught their eye and beckoned them over. "Patricia, you look divine; we do not deserve such a woman. We are having Pastis. Will you join us?"
"We've never tried them, but we will give them a try," Dave responded. He then asked how they got on at their seven's tournament.
"Non, we lost to a local team. The winning team had three ring-ins, which is allowed under the tournament's rules. One of them and ex-Allblack first five. It was close, but we got beaten."
The drinks were in small tumblers with clear liquid that tasted strongly of aniseed. Dave noticed that some of the men mixed theirs with water, and the liquid turned to the colour of milk. They found them to be refreshing but strong, so Dave added water to both of their drinks.
Once they had their drinks, Jacques moved everyone to a table by the dance floor. He seated Trish alongside himself in the middle of the table and motioned Dave to sit on the other side of Trish. They faced the dance floor and stage, where the live band was getting set up. Dave noticed that as everyone sat, there were two spare seats, one on the other side of Jacques. He knew this was to put Jacquelyn between him and Alain. On the opposite side, the other empty seat was between Thierry and Rennie. Dave had no doubts that Noel was to be seated there.
Dave turned to Jacques, "I want to discuss something with you."
Jacques looked up from gazing at Trish's nipples, which were very obvious through the glittery material of her dress.
"Yes! You look serious. Do I need to get my boxing gloves on?"
"Maybe," replied Dave. "Trish and I are worried you guys will mistreat Jacquelyn tonight. We talked with her this afternoon. She has never been with another man than Noel. And she's never had an orgasm with him. I can see that this lot just wants to fuck her silly and humiliate her aristocratic arse," he said, waving his arm at the others. "If they step out of line, I will step in."
Jacques laughed, "You will take all six of us on?"
"Well, I hoped you may help me, But yes, if I have to."
Jacques reached over and slapped Dave on the arm. "Relax, I have the same concerns. I always keep them in check and will be doubly alert tonight. You are quite right, especially my little friend Thierry over there. He's a sadistic little bastard but in a tough situation. He's the guy I want beside me. But in this situation, you are correct. I will step in and stop him if he gets unruly."
He turned to Trish, "So you asked him my questions, Non?"
"I did," Trish responded, "and he doesn't fit into those two categories you gave me."
"Then you are a fortunate woman. There are not many men like us around. My goal is to give pleasure to the women, fucking to me is only a means; the real pleasure comes from watching a woman go to another place, where she is bathed in sensations too strong for her to understand. She will do anything at all to get and savour those sensations. That is the ultimate savoir-faire that I live for, and one of the best experiences I have ever had was with you this morning. You agree, Dave?"
Dave relaxed and gave him a slight nod. He looked around the restaurant. He saw that everyone was engaged in their own conversations, but he noticed they all glanced over periodically. Their group certainly was the centre of attention.
He asked Jacques another question, "That this morning you used that little spatula. It was obviously something you have done before. Where did you learn about it?"
"I read about it in an Asian article on sex years ago. I first practised it on my wife, but I have tried it with more than a dozen women over the years. In the last two years here in Tahiti, Rennie, Pierre and I have tried it with three women."
Dave interrupted, "Does it always work like that, and how often can you do it?"
"Jacques looked at Dave, "Ah! You think you will try it yourself soon. Well, yes, I have never found a woman for whom it doesn't do something. But some are only buzzing for an hour afterwards. Most will be horny and demanding for four, maybe six hours. But we had a lady here in Papeete last year that would not leave our room for two days and wore the three of us out. As for how often, I would only try that with my wife about every six months, but it has to be when she is very aroused. Tired after she has had a busy day is not the right time."
"Are you still married?" Trish asked.
