[[[-IF5-P10.TXT-]]] ---------------- Island Fever 5: Family Written by: JeremyDCP@hotmail.com M/F, F/F and a whole lot more ---------------- Chapter 10: "Predecessor" ------------------------------------------- -*- Tuesday, March 22, 2016 -*- -*- Sandvika, Norway -*- Healthy rays of sunshine spilled in from the majestic and grand picture window here in our bedroom, and I blinked my eyes back against the morning light. My body felt invigorated, fresh and ready, for whatever the day may have in store. I turned and found Devon asleep next to me on her stomach, the sheet pulled back, revealing the smooth, luscious expanse of her back. I smiled and traced my hand down its length, then finished with a gentle, loving kiss upon her shoulder. Nothing. Devon, I had learned over the years, was a deep sleeper. It was kind of endearing, actually, because I could lightly hug and kiss on her at random points throughout the overnight hours without any real fear of waking her up. It was a tad late in the morning, 9:17am, but I ultimately decided to let Devon sleep a bit longer and make some coffee for us. But, where were the other ladies? "Doughnuts and bagels are here!" a voice called from beyond the closed door to the bedroom. Then, a very stocky dog with short, stubby legs pushed open the door to the bedroom with his snout and greeted me with his big, brown eyes. "Hello, Shredder," I said quietly to the family's main dog. He sort of whined, then Trish - the prior voice - appeared from behind him by sticking her head through the doorway. "Just got us some breakfast from _Fattigmann_ - the best doughnuts and coffee in town! Come out and have some!" Trish then tilted her face to the side and flashed me a dazzling, picture-perfect smile. "Oh, and happy birthday." "Thank you. But... where is Jackson? He's not with you." "Lindsay and Alison are taking care of him," Trish said, referring to our five-week-old infant son, before smiling yet again. "Come join us for breakfast." And with that, Trish disappeared and went bounding down the staircase. I pulled on a t-shirt and slipped into a comfortable pair of sweat pants. "Devon," I whispered. "Hey, sleepy girl." Shredder was up on the bed now, wagging his tail as he stared down at Devon. She was definitely one of his favorites in the family. "You awake? Let's get a bite to eat." Devon's only response was to curl onto her side and pull the sheet tighter around her waist. Adorable. Well, okay. Looked like I would be going to breakfast alone. After running my fingers through my tousled hair to try and corral it, I exited the bedroom and slowly made my way downstairs. The first person I saw was Kristanna, who straightened and turned at the bottom of the steps when our eyes locked. She flashed me a lazy smile and mused, "Well, look what the cat dragged out of bed. Good morning, baby." "Are you calling Trish a cat?" Kristanna flashed a silly grin. "Well, Trish does seem to be of the cougarian persuasion." "Cougarion?" Cougar? Trish was a cougar? I chuckled at the thought and closed the distance between us, meeting my precious Kristanna with a quick and simple good morning kiss. "Happy birthday, Jeremy," she offered, again smiling. How many times would I hear that phrase today? "How are you feeling?" "Better after the homecoming party yesterday," she nodded. "Actually, a lot better. I really needed something fun like that." She paused, then added, "Ariel just fed and of course went right back to sleep, while Kaden is playing with Pamela and Piper in the dining room. They are all coloring at the table. I was coming to wake you and Devvy." "Devon is still sleeping," I frowned. But then, I smiled. "Ariel in the nursery, or is someone watching after her right now? And how long have you all been awake?" "Amy," Kristanna breathed. "Ariel is napping and Amy is keeping an eye on her for me until I get back. And I've been up since six this morning. So has Pamela. You and Devvy were the last two to wake up, Jeremy. Well, I guess Devvy is still sleeping. She was up really late last night." Curious, I needed to ask this question after what took place between them in the kitchen as I watched the events unfold from the voyeur room last evening. "Any update on Lindsay and Alison? Did they fess up?" "Oh, Lindsay did," Kristanna nodded. I was referring, of course, to not only the passionate round of kissing that the two sisters shared, but the fact that Lindsay brought Alison to orgasm with her hand and fingers atop the kitchen counter last night. Not only was our relationship and marriage truly polygamous, but now it also had a dash of incest involved. Great, huh? "After they went to Alison's room last night, I guess her and Lindsay stayed up and spoke for about four hours," my wife continued. "Lindsay says last night sealed it for her. She loves Alison and wants her in the family." "Doughnuts are here!" I again heard Trish call out, but this time it was from a distance. Probably the dining room. Kristanna smiled. "Bagels too." She loved bagels. I grinned at the 26-year-old and reached for her hand, then began guiding her toward the aforementioned dining room. When we got there, Kaden, my 19-month-old son with Kristanna, was reaching for one of the white bakery bags on the table. But Trish snatched it away at the last possible second, saying, "Sorry, kiddo, but no doughnuts for you until your Mommy or Daddy get here." Then, she noticed us. "Oh, hello there. Shall I give Kaden a white doughnut?" "Make his day," I nodded. Kaden used both hands and literally tore into the powdered slice of Heaven. It quickly got all over his face, too. Then, I felt a little person tugging at my leg. It was Piper, my 15-month-old daughter with Pamela. She looked up at me with the cutest, brightest eyes, and I could not help but to reach down, pick her up, and then hug her to me. "Hey Piper," Lindsay said, suddenly appearing in the dining room and literally talking into her ear. When Piper looked alert and interested, Lindsay went on, "Do you know what today is? Today is Daddy's birthday. Can you say, happy birthday, Daddy? Say it. Oh, I know you can say it." Instead, Piper was quiet, but wide-eyed as she listened intently to Lindsay. "Can you believe it, Piper? Daddy turns _100_ today." "HEY, HEY, HEY!" I scolded Lindsay, holding back a laugh at the same time. "I'm not _100_! I'm 42." Ahh, the difference in our ages - mine and Lindsay's - again. It never failed to come up at least a few times per week. "Don't go telling Piper something like that. She may believe you!" "Happy birthday, Jeremy," Lindsay mused, before sharing a slow, sensual kiss with me. "Oh, one for you too, Piper!" She pecked Piper's lips and stole a kiss from her as well. This morning ritual - a full round of kisses and/or hugs - was something that I would never grow tired of. Pamela, though, was eyeing me intently. "It's so hard to look at Jeremy's glowing, masculine beauty right now because I can't see past that rat trap of hair he has atop his head." "Rat trap!" Kristanna giggled, as several of the others joined her in unison. "I like that!" My own eyes wide, I ran a hand through my hair yet again. "Does it really look that bad?" "Oh, it does," Pamela told me, being overly dramatic. "It is bed-head at its absolute worst." "What a tragedy," Kristanna agreed, pouting. "The level of empathetic awkwardness I feel looking at that hair makes my tummy hurt." Umm, really? Kristanna was certainly unique. She could come up with a memorable one-liner at any moment. Where they originated from, though, I really had no idea. "Wait a minute," Trish said, shaking a finger at Pamela. "Did you just say Jeremy has... glowing, masculine beauty?" "I did!" Pamela confessed, laughing. "Why is it so flipping hard to find a chocolate in a chocolate box?" Scarlett miffed as she too, entered the dining room, carrying a small container in hand. Less than two weeks from her due date, Scarlett and that pregnant belly of hers looked more beautiful to me than ever before. It really seemed as if Scarlett was ready to pop at any second! "I ate enough chocolate yesterday at the party to last me through the end of the year," Trish frowned. "Just poke your finger through the bottom of each one, Scar-Scar, until you hit paydirt," Lindsay suggested. Amy laughed. "Remember last night? At the end of that chocolate binge we all went on, I got a fortune cookie that read, _Be careful. You are easily tempted._" "And thus marks the only accurate fortune cookie ever seen," Lindsay theorized with a smile. "Pics or it didn't happen," Pamela said to Amy. Not a coffee drinker at all, Trish was busy slicing fruit in the very next room at the kitchen counter. A healthy and trendy type if there ever was one, Trish was going to make a morning smoothie for herself. "You'd think that with all the cool, high-tech gadgets we have in this house," Trish called out, "we would have one of those machines where you didn't have to cut the fruit at all." "You're livin' the struggle, Trish," Pamela deadpanned. "Don't I know it." Trish opened the lid for the blender and tossed in the requisite slices and chunks of fruit. A dash of milk later, and the blender was spinning. Eventually, Trish poured a glass for herself and saluted the others. "Cheers." When Alison entered the dining room, seeming very shy and timid, all adult eyes immediately drifted to her. Everyone was well aware of what happened last night between Alison and her sister, Lindsay. Everyone knew that they had kissed repeatedly, passionately, and Lindsay brought Alison to orgasm. And that they later hugged and cuddled in the same bed like newlyweds and ultimately fell asleep together. Obviously not wanting her sister to be one bit scared or intimidated around us, Lindsay helped ease her anxiety by stepping forward and kissing Alison flush on the lips. Trish bit her finger and smiled at the exchange, while Pamela let out an audible gasp. When Lindsay slipped her tongue into Alison's mouth and began exploring, Kristanna turned toward me and had the biggest, healthiest grin. "Doughnuts?" Lindsay asked Alison once their kiss was done. "Yeah," she simply responded, her eyes glazed over. Being bold myself, I moved toward Alison and kissed the side of her head while gently patting that perfect, little ass of hers through the denim jeans she wore. Oh, it was tight as a drum, and felt so damn good under my touch. Alison held in a breath, her mouth agape as she stared at Lindsay with wide eyes in the process, then yelped and jumped when I gave that ass a swat - a little love tap - with an open palm. Alison's eyes flashed up to meet mine just for a moment. She blushed crimson, instantly, and then lowered her eyes. I vividly recalled Alison's discussion with Lindsay last evening where she conveyed her little punishment fantasy that involved me putting her over my knee and spanking her. Thus, the swat on her ass. Perhaps it was a sign of things to come? "Let's get you something to eat," Trish said to Alison, mentally disheveled now, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and guiding her to the nearby table. "Have some hjortetakks!" Kristanna chirped. "Huh?" Alison returned. "Don't mind Krissy," Pamela advised her. "That's Norwegian for doughnuts. She loves confusing others with her language." "They are called futimonbuckle, too!" Kristanna offered. "Hush, you!" Pamela sniped at her. "I brought home all sorts of doughnuts, and even some bagels for Krissy if you like them instead," Trish said to Alison. "Vanilla and maple glaze, some doughnut holes, buttermilk bars and a few other types. Whatever you want." Everything looked appetizing to me, but I ultimately opted for two doughnuts which oozed with a filling of whole, ripe strawberries from sweet, biscuit-like shells. That, along with the fresh coffee Trish also brought home, hit the spot. "You really need to do something about that hair," Pamela later suggested to me. Kristanna nodded, clearly in agreement with her on this. "Your hair has its own gravitational pull today." "I could feel its aura when I was down here, Jeremy, and you were still in bed," Amy chimed in. Scarlett was giggling. "Looks like he stuck his finger in a light socket about 20 or 25 times over." "Oh, stop it," I chided them, finally giving in to the playful teasing. "Fine. I'll go comb my hair." Before I left the dining room, however, I grabbed two more doughnuts and a cup of coffee. If Devon were finally awake, or she would wake up soon, she would certainly appreciate me bringing them to her. I could never exclude her from this. Along the way to the bedroom, though, I felt greedy, tempted to devour one of the croissant-style doughnuts myself. Buttery soft and airy, I knew the doughnut would practically pop as I bit into it, and then collapse into a delectable half-moon just halfway through. But I resisted, constantly reminding myself over and over that these were for Devon - and not me. It was a tough, rugged struggle, indeed. When I returned to the bedroom, Devon was still sprawled out across the mattress, naturally, and asleep. She aided Kristanna throughout the overnight hours when both Kaden and Ariel were awake, each throwing a massive fit, while I tended to Jackson with Trish, and later Dani Grace with Amy. That, plus the fact that Devon had gone to bed late anyway, meant that she had every right to still be sleeping this morning. I leaned over and snuggled Devon close to me, then placed kisses along her shoulder and neck. When she let out a deep, groggy moan and rustled, I smiled at her and whispered, "Hey, Devon. I brought you doughnuts and coffee. Wake up, sweetie." But I was not going to press her and force the issue. So, I simply set the cup of coffee and both doughnuts upon the nightstand next to the bed. They would be there whenever she finally woke up. Although, Devon hated her coffee cold. "Stay away from those doughnuts," I warned Shredder, pointing a menacing finger at him as he sat at my feet. Shredder seemed to get the message, then I turned and began peeling off my clothes. Instead of combing my hair, I had decided to just get my daily shower out of the way. My hair, tragic as it may be, would be taken care of in the process. As the hot water fell in cascades across my skin moments later in the adjacent washroom and shower, I closed my eyes and sighed contently. Indeed, today was my 42nd birthday. There had been so many twists and turns throughout my life since I was born on March 22, 1974 - highs and lows, joy, despair, happiness, anger, frustration, even heartbreak - but I would not change any of it. Why? The road, the path I had taken in life, as rocky and as turbulent as it had been at times, ultimately led me to where I am today. Married to seven gorgeous, alluring women, with a little forbidden fruit girlfriend, so to speak, on the side. Oh, I had plans for Alison, and they were multiplying daily. But I also had six precious children, with a seventh due very soon in Scarlett's son-to-be, Dylan. What more could life provide me? What more could I possibly want, or even need? Each year, my birthday presented a unique and interesting challenge to the ladies. I had specifically told them, time and time again, that I did not want them to break the bank in purchasing the _perfect gift_ for me. Because quite honestly, I was the type of person that if I ever wanted anything, I simply went out and bought it myself. It was tough to get something for me as a gift that I would find useful or helpful because, chances are, I already had it. The thought counted, of course, but there was no need to simply waste money by literally tossing it down the drain. Plus, I was not much of a material person. I had my fun gadgets and toys, yes, but I did not thrive on them. I would tell the ladies every year to keep any gifts for me simple and unique. There was no need to spend a fortune on me. Last year, for example, the best gift I got - by far - was from Trish. Somehow, she had managed to find every first-run, original broadcast of every game - regular season, playoffs and Super Bowl included - of the 1981 Cincinnati Bengals, and gift them for me in a Blu-Ray DVD boxset. Originally from Cincinnati and an avid sports fan, I had followed the Bengals for my entire life. Although they lost the Super Bowl that season to San Francisco, getting to see every play from every game - at a time when I was only seven - was quite rewarding. But what about this year? What gift would turn out to be my favorite? Which wife would give it to me? There were lots of possibilities, needless to say. But at the moment, if I had any say in the matter, I believe the best present that I could possibly receive would be little Alison's ass served up on a platter, ready for me to sink into, and enjoy. I mean, why not? That was definitely what I desired most. In the shower, within my mind's eye, I began to picture a fantasy scenario with Alison unfolding. "Over my lap, Alison. Now." The lovely, naked 19-year-old obeyed, and I watched with great satisfaction as her harp strung, golden hair cascaded down around her face as she got into position and, even better, her perfect ass, all smooth and tight, was offered up to me. I rearranged her hair to fall over her neck, so that she and I could have eye contact when I wanted it. "You are going to get a good, long spanking now, Alison," I warned her, losing myself in the dream sequence taking place within my imagination. "Much like your sister, God only knows that you deserve it." Whimpering under my control, Alison nodded her head as I gently tapped her backside with my right hand. "Prepare yourself, Alison." As Alison took a deep, gasping breath, I began to spank her with an open palm. Not hard at first, but slowly. The sound of hand-slapping-ass reverberated throughout the room as her lesson on how important it was to please me continued. Right cheek, left cheek, middle, right thigh, left thigh. I made sure to pepper her all over. As I thought may be the case, Alison was wincing and crying out a little by the end of those very first five. I could also feel her pussy's wetness dripping onto my thigh. I then decided to administer five sets of five swats each, using the same cadence and locations from the initial group. In the fourth round, Alison started to struggle, and I had to hold her down with my left hand. My cock, tucked away in my shorts, was hard, straining against her belly as watching Alison take her punishment like a good girl truly aroused me. By the middle of the fifth and final set of five, Alison was still struggling, but also crying out, full throat. Her ass was blazing red; it was, quite simply, on fire. But, this was what she wanted, right? Alison wanted me to spank her. When the final set was done, I brought my hand to Alison's quivering backside and caressed it gently. She was already a massive train wreck, having took 30 heavy-handed blows from me. Her body was literally vibrating and convulsing under my touch. "We're just getting started, Alison," I told her. "Oh, God... oh, please..." Still lost in my mental reverie as I took the shower, the scene transitioned within my mind and I was behind Alison on the bed. I lifted her left leg, so that I could put the head of my cock at the entrance to her pussy. Then I used my opposite hand to gently grasp her throat, underneath her chin, demonstrating to her that all of the control belonged to me. I squeezed, but not hard at all. Just enough to remind her. I started thrusting into Alison in slow, gentle strokes. "Lick that pussy, Alison." Also with us on the bed was Lindsay, who was reclining back, her trim, slender legs widespread and her sweet pussy no more than six inches from her sister's face. Alison nodded, then began making little sounds of pure submission as she did her best to give Lindsay pleasure with her lips and tongue. It proved difficult, though, because now I was having my way with Alison, taking her fast and furious, my hips slamming violently against her with every new stroke. Still, I expected Alison to orally service her sister. Lindsay was all smiles, her beautiful face beaming with love, as I continued to push in and out of Alison even more vigorously. Alison planted a series of desperate kisses and sweeping licks upon Lindsay's pussy, ready for her climax. I plowed my way into Alison one final time and we came simultaneously, gasping and grunting in sheer ecstasy, knit together with Lindsay in the writhing mass of our loving, yet highly unconventional family. In the shower, back in reality, my mind and its vivid imagination had literally detached itself from the rest of my body. It was quickly brought back, however, when I felt a pair of soft hands on me from behind within the spacious shower stall, accompanied by a luscious, friendly giggle. "God, Jeremy!" Devon gasped at me, laughing, her eyes drifting down toward my hard, burgeoning cock. "Rubbing one out in the shower, huh? You still find it necessary to whack off when you have eight women who would be more than happy to do it for you?" "I... uhh..." Devon had definitely caught me off-guard, directly in the middle of my daydream involving Lindsay and Alison. My next order of business was going to be taking Alison in the ass, in that dream, but reality seemed much more enticing at the moment. After all, reality was real. Obviously awake and well alert, Devon was completely and gloriously nude as she stood before me in the steamy shower. I wondered whether or not she had noticed the coffee and doughnuts that I left for her next to the bed. Regardless, Devon was still giggling, finding it quite humorous that she had caught me red-handed (or full-handed) in the shower. "Were you thinking about something?" she asked, curious. "Doing something to one of us? Maybe two of us? Because my God, Jeremy, you really seemed to be into it." Devon was the type of woman that any normal man would want to cuddle up with and spend the rest of his life with. There was nothing more wholesome and amazing than Devon's pretty face, inquisitive blue eyes and gorgeous smile. She was damn near impossible to resist, with a body that looked like it was designed by the best engineers in the world. Devon was the prototypical all-American blonde cheerleader that nearly all of us have fantasized about at one point or another. Everything about her was amplified ten times over now, too, because she was soaked, glistening with water in the shower. And, thanks to my imagination regarding Lindsay and Alison, I was really riled up at the moment. Devon, in fact, caught me at the perfect time. For her, yes, and especially me. "On your knees," I told Devon in a strict, dominant tone, that mindset carrying over from my prior daydream. With pure submissive tendencies of her own, Devon dropped to my feet without a second thought - or any hesitation whatsoever. Instinctively, she placed both hands together behind her back. Doing so showcased the quickening rise and fall of her lovely breasts and the slight flinch of her stomach as her nerves began to react to the situation. "What were you thinking about, Jeremy?" she timidly asked yet again, clearly wanting an answer. "Was it Alison?" "Open," was all I told Devon in response, my cock, thick and hard, jutting toward her ripe, luscious mouth. I combed my fingers throughout her luxurious tumble of free-flowing hair and then fisted it, all the while brushing the swollen head of my erection back and forth across her lips. Devon trailed her hands up my thighs and gripped the base of my shaft with her right while fondling my testicles, already tight and full of need, with her left. She opened wide and engulfed the length of my shaft, her tongue swishing about, then began bobbing with confidence and rhythm. "Good girl," I breathed. "Just like that." When I glanced down at Devon's face, I almost came right then and there. She looked so precious taking my cock, her mouth stretched and agape, those eyes sparkling with desire. The air was electric between us. Devon, aroused as well, hastened the slide of her mouth and pumping hand. I audibly groaned, my fist tightening in her hair. "This is what you wanted, yes? Just yesterday, Devon, you were telling me that you and I needed to hook up together. You were even whining a bit, saying it had been too long." She pulled her hungry mouth from my cock only long enough to pant, "Yes! Yes, Jeremy!" "Women who whine need to have their mouths stuffed," I told her teasingly, sharing a very lewd viewpoint. Then she was on me again, sucking, licking and pumping my shaft with her hand. "Good girl," I praised, the dominant side of me quite pleased with her efforts. Devon always had been truly quite ravenous when it came to sucking cock. "Open your mouth. Relax your throat. I am going to fuck you now, Devon, and you are going to swallow every last drop. Do you understand?" One hand on her head and the other cupping underneath her jaw, I began to thrust. Short and shallow jabs at first, Devon was quick to adjust to the newfound tempo. She gasped and choked and I thrusted into her a little deeper, a little harder, extracting what pleasure I could from her. Devon's eyes watered as I jammed myself so far into her mouth that I butted up against the back of her throat. She gagged again, but I did not care. Devon liked this; she could handle it without any serious issue. I simply thrust in deep again, growling long and low, her hands clutching and rubbing at my pumping hips. Abruptly, I stopped. I caught my own breath and pulled almost entirely out of her mouth. Only the very tip of my erection remained at her lips. Devon opened her mouth wide, frantic with hunger as I shot thick jets of semen over her tongue and into her throat. I yanked her head back with force, full of fierce pleasure and pride, so I could watch as she swallowed me, every drop, exactly as I told her. Was there a better way to start off my birthday? When I released my conqueror's hold on her face and hair, Devon actually fell over to her hands and knees before me, gasping wildly, trying to regain her breath. Still, she reached up with her right hand and cupped my testicles, twiddling away on them, wanting to give me more pleasure. When Devon looked up at me, her eyes were blurred out from all the excess moisture, but she did not blink or flinch. I gathered my senses in the aftermath of orgasm and gently stroked her hair. Devon was my wife; she was beautiful, and I loved her with all of my heart. She was no less important or vital to my happiness and the success of our unique marriage than any of the other women in our life. Even as the water continued to rain down on us from above in the shower, I dropped to one knee and kissed her cheek. "To answer your question," I quietly said, "yes, I was thinking about Alison when you walked in on me, and caught me, my hands... full." I could have told Devon that I was fantasizing about her, but why lie? I had never lied to any of my seven wives and found no need to start now. "When are you getting back with Alison and resuming what you and her started on your wedding night with Scarlett?" "I don't know, but hopefully soon," I answered, before letting loose with a knowing smile. "You want to be with Alison too, don't you?" When Devon nodded her head, I did the same. "You've never been able to resist a pretty girl, have you? I bet Alison drives you crazy." "She does," Devon admitted. * * * At ten minutes after three o'clock that afternoon, I sat with Kristanna, Devon, Trish, Lindsay, Amy, Scarlett and Alison, with five of the six kids also in close proximity, on the floor of our spacious recreation room on the lower level of the mansion. We were surrounded by a variety of cookies, brownies, empty ice cream bowls (with a fully-stocked freezer conveniently nearby) and an array of awesome candy toppings. There was a pitcher of iced tea and, of course, Trish's favorite, cherry _Kool-Aid_. All of us were waiting. For Pamela. Who we often waited for, because she was always late. "I'm not sure this is such a good idea," Trish said with trepidation, eyeing a small tray of scrumptious chocolate chip cookies that seemingly had her name on them. "After all those treats we had yesterday... more today?" Lindsay patted her wife on the wrist sympathetically. "Oh, don't worry about it, Trish. Indulge yourself." "Just think," Scarlett said with a grin, unafraid to chew on and munch down a brownie at the same time. "In just six days, it will be Devon's birthday. We get to have another round of Amy's dessert and chocolate paradise next week, too!" "OH MY GOD!" Trish huffed at the mere thought. "More chocolate! I'll spend the entire month of April killing myself in the gym, trying to atone for my chocolate sins." Of course, Trish's resolve crumbled. She easily gave into temptation, popping one of those cookies while the others looked at her and snickered in unison. Of course, they were just as guilty as she was. And then, like the Tasmanian Devil from the cartoons, a blur of twirling blonde hair burst into the recreation room and came to a sudden stop just before us. Pamela, with Piper hitched in her arm, was breathless. "Sorry for being late, but I could not help it. Traffic was terrible." Amy shook her head. "Traffic is no excuse for being late. Still, we love you anyway." Pamela grinned and set Piper down, then easily slid under Kristanna's outstretched arm and found a comfortable, cozy position next to her on the floor. At the same time, Piper came rumbling over to me for a spirited hug. Pamela's brown eyes were bubbling over with excitement as she surveyed everyone in the room. "So, let's get this birthday party started, shall we?" "Where exactly did you go on your errand?" I asked Pamela. Around 12:30pm, Pamela insisted that she had to leave with Piper for about two hours, but would not tell me why. I thought it may have something to do with my birthday, but something seemed fishy and out of place here. That thought was multiplied as when she sat down next to Kristanna mere seconds ago, Kristanna whispered something into her ear, and Pamela nodded her head quite vigorously. All the while, both ladies were looking squarely at me. Kristanna and Pamela, like usual, were up to something. They were keeping a secret, perhaps hiding something from me. I would learn what it was eventually. "I just had a few things to take care of," Pamela told me, her voice conveying pure innocence. "As I said, sorry I was late getting back. But I'm here now." Trish's own eyes were wide and bulging as Amy wheeled the triple-layered, red velvet birthday cake into the recreation room. "I'll be in the gym working these calories off for the rest of the year," Trish said in defeat. "How in the world did you get 100 candles onto that cake?" Lindsay screeched at Amy, which caused several of the others to laugh. Meanwhile, I found no humor in it. "I'm 42, Lindsay. Not 100." "No, no," Kristanna said to Kaden, holding him back. "No cake for you yet, wild man. Daddy needs to make a wish and blow out the candles first." Kaden struggled and tried to break free of his mother's grasp, desperately wanting to sample some cake, so Pamela lent Kristanna support by curling an arm around him from behind. "You're gonna get burned by the candles if you get too close, Kaden," she advised him. "You don't want to get burned, do you? It will hurt. A LOT." Of course, Kaden did not see things that way. Upset, he threw a tantrum. After making my wish (40 more years with all of these women together in my life) and blowing out the candles, I began to open birthday presents from the various ladies. Fortunately, they heeded my advice, having not broken the bank in buying me anything overly expensive. At the same time, everyone enjoyed a slice or two of cake (Kaden too). Kristanna got me a hand-made oil portrait of her and all of my other wives, sitting and smiling together as a group, looking pure and wholesome. Alison was missing from it, but I figured the painting was ordered and then made well before it was decided that she would join our family. Still, I loved the portrait. It was beautiful, and would look nice on the wall in my private office. One of several thoughtful gifts from Devon was an exquisite hand-made model of the U.S. space shuttle Ares V which dismantled into six tequila shot glasses, a measure, side burners for salt cellars, and a base for lime wedges. A very unique way to drink, though I did not favor alcohol at all. Still, it would make a nice ornament for my desk. Forever on her health kick, Trish got me a portable air purifier and said it was to be used in the voyeur room. There were no windows in the voyeur room for ventilation, and Trish seemed certain that setting this device there would do nothing but good. She was right, of course. Scarlett purchased, among other things, a _Tag Heuer_ dive watch made of stainless steel as a gift for me. This was actually a wonderful present, as my previous dive watch was damaged during our trip to the island last year. In a few months, when the weather warmed up, I had every intention of going scuba diving off the coast of Norway - something I had yet to do - with my two trusty sidekicks, Kristanna and Devon. They were certified divers and, just like me, loved the ocean. As for the watch itself, it looked wonderful on my wrist. Lindsay and Alison collaborated together and came up with a great gift for not only me, but a guest of mine as well - _fighter pilot for a day_. There was an aviation school in Oslo that specialized in allowing normal civilians, such as myself, to take control of an authentic military grade aircraft and actually fly it (with the help of a skilled instructor) and engage in simulated firefights with another jet in the skies over the North Sea just off the coast. What normal man would not jump at the chance to participate in flying combat maneuvers that were guaranteed to be safe? The particular aircraft that I would get to control? The _SIAI Marchetti SF-260_. The guest that I should invite along, at least according to Lindsay and Alison? Mike, my good friend and personal pilot for our family jetliner. Mike was an ex-fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force during the Gulf War and had been itching to get back behind the controls of a military combat plane in recent years and feel that rush one more time. Inviting him along was an excellent idea, indeed, and something I planned on doing next time he and I spoke. Mike would fly another aircraft opposite of mine, and we would engage in simulated dog fights high above the ocean. I looked forward to locking onto his plane with my sights, tagging him, and sending him to the doldrums of defeat! Once the gift giving portion of the birthday party was complete (or at least I thought it was), Pamela stepped to the center of the room and called for everyone's attention. Her focus, however, was fixated purely on me. "Jeremy, I speak for everyone in this room when I say that, without a doubt, you are the most wonderful man in the whole, wide world," Pamela began. "But sometimes, we forget to tell you just how much we all appreciate you, and how much we love you. We forget to show you. You do everything for us, yet never ask for anything in return. That is amazing." "Just yesterday, for example, you vacuumed out and washed Trish's car. Not because she asked you, but because you felt it needed to be done. You noticed Scarlett was having a bad go of it earlier - she is nine months pregnant - so you offered to give her a back and foot massage. Kristanna has had a very rough stretch here lately, too. She was upset during lunch, crying, worrying about Ariel. Yet you held Kristanna's hand, kissed it repeatedly, and promised everything would be okay. Like always, you were able to convince her." "Most of us are tired, busy, dealing with all of the kids. Yet you are always there, asking what you can do to help. Volunteering to take away the burden, so we can relax and catch our breath for awhile. Yet the heaviest burden of all is on you. You are the one with six children, not us. You put more on yourself in order to make our lives easier, when it should be the other way around. Your love for us, your dedication, comes through every single day. Your children - Kaden, Piper, Dani Grace, Jackson, Kaylee, Ariel, even Dylan who isn't born yet - are lucky to have you as their father. In fact, there isn't a better father for them out there." "You always open the door for us - your wives - like a true gentleman," Amy offered, her smile golden. "You're the most honest and down-to-Earth person I've ever met," Devon said. "And I find that incredibly sexy about you." "You go out of your way, Jeremy, to make sure that everyone around you feels loved and as comfortable as possible." Trish nodded at Scarlett, agreeing with her, before turning toward me. "You never talk down to servers, bartenders or even the baggers at the grocery store. You treat everyone you come across, Jeremy, as you'd like them to treat you." Kristanna smiled. "You compliment all of us on a daily basis. You kiss us nonstop and make us feel warm, special." "You kiss away our tears, too," Pamela grinned. "You are a wonderful father for our children," Lindsay chimed in. "You love each of them to no end and will give good example to them so that they will grow up and become good people. I am so honored to be your wife. We all are." "Love is too simple, too common of a word to describe our feelings for you," Amy explained. "We love you, Jeremy, but the thought and feeling runs so much deeper than that. So much stronger, and so much more intense." "We ADORE you," Scarlett insisted. "I adore you," Alison confessed to me, smiling shyly. "Happy birthday, Jeremy," Trish swooned. "Happy birthday," Kristanna nodded. "Happy birthday," Devon, Lindsay, Amy, Scarlett and Alison all said in exact unison. Wow... "So what we wanted to do, Jeremy," Pamela commented, "was to come up with something - a present - that would make you feel as happy as you make us feel on a daily basis." Pamela paused, gauging my reaction, then smiled again. "No, we did not spend extravagant amounts of money on a gift for you. The perfect gift for you, in fact, required little expense." She chuckled outwardly. "And before you get your hopes up, no, it is nothing sexual. No fantasy dress-up and roleplay games, like last year's birthday." "Although, we did consider it," Lindsay admitted, giggling. "Trust me, Alison would look SUPER HOT in one of my naughty, little cheerleader uniforms. I would still be the captain of the Suck Squad, but Ali could be the HEAD assistant!" With those words, Alison was blushing a crimson red. And my cock was stirring about within my trousers. Go figure. "I know you're curious about that errand I had to run earlier," Pamela said, my interest level suddenly piqued. So, the mysterious trip did have something to do with my birthday after all. "Piper and I went to Gardermoen," she added, referring to the international airport in downtown Oslo. "We had to pick up a very special guest and then brought him home with us." When Pamela motioned at something beyond my shoulder, I turned, and my breath stalled. It was my father. He was here! Suddenly, five camera phones were pointed at me from the various ladies and recording away as I rushed over to my 77-year-old father and gave him a heavy, heartfelt embrace. Holy Hell, Dad was here! How was that even possible? This was indeed a surprise, a shocking one at that, but what better way to top off my birthday than a visit from my father? Dad, who I had not seen since my brother Steve's liver transplant in Cincinnati late last year, was supposed to be here for my wedding with Scarlett that took place nine days ago. But he was ill at the time and, coupled with the fact he lived in California, we did not think it would be wise for him, at his age, to travel on a 5,500 mile airline flight to Norway. So we canceled his trip because of his illness, though he did watch the wedding on a live video feed over the Internet. I had secretly fretted in the days since about how many more opportunities I would actually get to spend time with my father. Honestly, that fear had been going on for a decade now. Would I ever see him again? Was this it? That was a reoccurring thought that played over and over in my mind every time he and I had gotten to spend any amount of time together in the recent past. My wedding with Scarlett was a lost opportunity for me to see my father... until now. "That's your grandpa!" Kristanna said to Kaden, a camera phone in one hand, her other arm wrapped around our son, with tears just running down her face. Likewise, several - if not all - of the other ladies were becoming a little emotional at the sight of this unexpected reunion. "Kaden, that's Daddy's Daddy! Your grandpa! Just like Grandpa Kristoff is my Daddy, Grandpa Dale is Daddy's Daddy. Go give him a hug." When Kaden walked over, I picked him up and us three men shared a triple-decker hug. Dad may have been 77, but he looked really good. He was healthy, walking several miles each day along the California coastline while enjoying his retirement. Best of all, he said that the flu bug which hit him so hard for three weeks straight was now all but gone. Apparently, Kristanna and Pamela were the two that made this reunion possible. After failing to attend my wedding with Scarlett, Kristanna called my father a few days ago and asked if he was feeling any better. When he said he was, Kristanna suggested that he fly to Norway and surprise me on my birthday. "It would be the best gift ever for Jeremy," she explained to him. Dad needed no further coaxing. Pamela put together all of the travel arrangements for him. So much of how I see the world and treat others has to do with my father and the way he raised me. A tireless depot manager for an automobile parts distribution warehouse for 45 years, I learned the value of hard work and patience from Dad. He was always there when I was growing up, teaching me to love the outdoors (hiking was and still remains his favorite past-time), movies (anything with Charles Bronson in it was must-see for him), music (Little Richard was solid gold in his eyes) and the beach. How many times had I gone scuba diving and snorkeling with him? Dad loved to talk to strangers and learn about their lives. He loved history and politics, had a massive rock collection, and a strange sense of humor. Trust me, it was _very_ strange. And Dad was the only person from my immediate family who had fully accepted and embraced the life that I had chosen to lead. Instead of questioning my reason for having seven wives, perhaps criticizing it, Dad was totally cool with it (unlike my mother, my sister (Di) and oldest brother (Dan)). Dad always had been supportive of me and whatever decisions I made. He trusted my judgment and had told me, time and time again, that if it made me happy, go for it. And Dad meant it too, because every time he interacted with each of my wives - his daughter-in-laws - he was warm and gracious toward them. Dad knew how happy all of them, as a group, made me, and he treated them with the respect and dignity that they deserved. Dad did not even have any objections to the possibility of Alison joining our family as a bona-fide sister wife as well. "Just don't tell too many people about it," was his wise suggestion. "Especially your mother, Di or Dan." Dad was here because it was my birthday, yes, but one of the very first orders of business for him was to introduce himself to his three newest grandchildren - Jackson, Kaylee and Ariel. He was actually here this past August following Dani Grace's birth to meet her, but had not been back since. When Dad picked Jackson up and bounced him in his arms for the first time, Trish and I explained that our precious son had been diagnosed with torticollis, a muscular abnormality in his neck and shoulder that caused his head to tilt slightly to one side. Jackson was undergoing treatment, we said, and with each new trip to the chiropractor, Trish and I hoped it would be his last. Jackson was getting close to being cured. Lindsay was all smiles as Dad cradled Kaylee and told him how special, and how wonderful, of a daughter she was to us. Lindsay even told him that I once said if I could be just half the father he was, all of my children would grow up happy and right, and be pointed in the right direction. Lindsay also spoke briefly about her own father, who was no longer alive, and how much she missed him. But Dad seemed to be on a whole different plateau when he was introduced to Ariel for the first time. Just seven days old, yet four born weeks premature, Ariel was so very small and fragile, and Dad took great care in handling her. To him, Ariel was a miracle baby. A gift from God. She was actually awake and responded quite favorably to him! When Kristanna handed Dad a bottle of infant formula and suggested he feed his youngest granddaughter, who was hungry, I had never seen such a smile from him. He was glowing; on cloud nine. It was a memory that I would cherish forever. "Three generations of awesome!" Kristanna proclaimed, looking at my father and yours truly, as well as Ariel. "I'm so happy you're here to visit Jeremy!" Lindsay mewed, overcome with raw, positive emotion. Best of all, Dad said he had no set timetable to return home to California. His live-in girlfriend, Dawn, was still in Los Angeles, working, but Dad was quite adamant about staying here long enough to at least witness the birth of Scarlett's child, Dylan, who was due in less than two weeks. I told Dad that he could stay as long as he wanted. If it was up to me, that would be forever. * * * "Can you embarrass me any more tonight, Dad?" That was the question I asked him at the dinner table several hours later, a smile upon my face, after he conveyed the story of how my name - Jeremy - was given to me. Dad told my wives and Alison that he originally wanted to name me Jeremiah (yes, after the bullfrog). In the 1970's, there was a popular song by the musical group Three Dog Night called "Joy To The World". Its opening lyrics consisted of _Jeremiah was a bullfrog / Was a good friend of mine_. Dad loved that song, apparently, and wanted to name me Jeremiah. "He does sort of look like a bullfrog," Kristanna teased me, giggling. My mother wanted to name me Scott, or David, but Dad was steadfast in wanting me, for all intents and purposes, to be associated with a bullfrog for the rest of my life. Sensing that this may not be such a good thing, Mom came to a compromise with him, and they settled on the name _Jeremy_. "Ribbit! Ribbit!" Kristanna continued to chide me. Moments earlier, Dad explained how I used to be fascinated with the pots and pans in the kitchen. One of my nicknames as a toddler was Pots Mike (Michael was my middle name), and the family room, where I often played, was called Pots Town. And my favorite companion as a baby and toddler, he told everyone, was a little rubber figure of a man named Gucker. My God, I had not heard that name in at least 35 years. I used to carry Gucker everywhere I went, he said, and would cry and scream at night if he was not with me in bed. "Awwwww, Gucker!" Pamela laughed. "How sweet!" "We need to find Jeremy a Gucker and get it for him next year on his birthday!" Lindsay chortled. "And Jeremy was in love with Amber [Last Name] when he was in grade school, a girl who lived two doors down the street," Dad continued, only embarrassing me more. God, Amber [Last Name]? Talk about another blast from the past that I had all but forgotten about! "When he was six, he asked Amber if she would marry him when they both grew up. She said yes, but only if he had babies with her." Kristanna had a scowl, albeit a playful one, as she glared at me in mock displeasure. "Amber, huh? Your first love, Jeremy?" She began giggling. "If this Amber chick ever comes within a hundred mile radius of you, she'll regret it!" The 26-year-old nodded her head and implored sternly, but with a grin, "The E-K - the Evil Kristanna - will reappear, and I'll terminate her ass!" "She moved away when I was eight," I recalled. "Haven't seen Amber since. You have nothing to worry about, Krissy." Over a decadent birthday dinner consisting of grilled pork tenderloin, accompanied by carrots, butter and fresh dill, sauteed spinach and pesto filled zucchini, not to mention potatoes with cream and cheese, we all stayed at the dining room table until 10:00pm that evening and simply talked. Dad shared story after humiliating story from my childhood, many of which I had forgotten, but some I never even knew about. Oh, and he told jokes. Lots and lots of bad jokes. "Jeremy once played one of the Three Wise Men in a nursery school play," was another memory Dad shared with the group. "He and his two partners had to walk around the stage in a circle before giving the gifts to Mary and Joseph, who were in the middle. As Jeremy walked around, he suddenly stopped, and ripped open the present himself. Then he threw it down and had a temper tantrum, because nothing but paper was in it." "When Jeremy was in first or second grade, he came home one day from school and told his mother and I that he had learned all about testicles in class. We were concerned, obviously, and asked exactly what he meant. Jeremy said he learned that an octopus has eight of them. He meant tentacles, obviously." Dad clearly had a very long and taxing past 24 hours, flying commercial from Los Angeles to New York, then to Copenhagen and finally Oslo, with layovers mixed inbetween. I was upset that Pamela just did not have Mike and his crew go pick Dad up in Los Angeles on the family jetliner, and bring him here in style. He would definitely return home on it. But by 10:00pm, Dad was pretty much done for the night. I escorted him to one of the many luxurious guest suites located in our mansion which would, in future years, serve as private bedrooms for each of the kids as they grew up and matured. We shared a few private words and I reiterated how overjoyed I was that he had actually decided to travel here to be with me. With us - me, his seven daughter-in-laws and six grandchildren. This was, by far, the best birthday present that I could have possibly received. And I owed it to Kristanna and Pamela. * * * As for my wives and Alison, I originally planned to spend this night alone with Scarlett. She and I were going to make amends for the after-wedding party for two that never really happened, but Scarlett was feeling tired and sluggish herself, and opted to wait until another night. Poor Scarlett; she had been through a very rough pregnancy and would be so glad once our son, Dylan, was finally born. Two weeks, give or take? I strongly considered pulling Alison to the side and asking her if she would like to explore that spanking fantasy of hers that she conveyed to Lindsay last evening about me. Either that, or perhaps Alison could suck my cock for an hour or two? An ultra slow, generous blowjob, where Alison could learn and then practice on those all-important deep throating skills. Hell, I had no qualms with Lindsay watching us, or joining in. I could cum over their smiling, dazzling faces simultaneously! But, Alison opted to retire and go to bed early that night herself. Oh well. I figured I would get my chance with her soon enough. And I, needless to say, could not wait. <<<- End of Chapter 10 ->>> ==---- -- -- -- - --- -- -- - - --- -- -- --- - -- - - - - --- -- ----== "Island Fever 5: Family" (c) 2016 JeremyDCP - JeremyDCP@hotmail.com Feedback is always appreciated!
