Dawn was some time away as I sat on the one step leading up to the entrance to the shack. I'd risen early, unable to sleep, nerves jangling and electric as I waited for the moment to arrive. I worried that the plans had been discovered, expecting at any moment to be swarmed by military authorities. I was determined they wouldn't capture me, never again, and I already had my bag over my shoulder, ready to spring wildly into the trees and disappear at the first sound.

It was warm all night, fog rolling in heavy from the still, brackish water nearby. I'd found a couple of packs of old cigarettes in the shack days before and enjoyed the distraction of smoking them as I waited.

My mind couldn't stop rolling over the endless thoughts which invaded my attempts at calm. I thought of Bailey, the fear for her too much to contemplate fully. I didn't know if she was alive, if our child had been born, if I'd ever see the island again. I longed to hold her, to kiss Keekah and Amy, to embrace Tok and Gale and everyone. I admitted to myself that having Kate and Nina in my life again had softened the blow, but only marginally. The island home I'd come to love called to me like a siren, and my fantasies of returning became clouded with both fear and hope.

Twigs snapped to my right and I was in the tree line before I had time to think. I'd have kept running until I was out of energy if the shout of “Kal!” hadn't stopped me and forced me to listen.

Kate's voice rose above the sounds of bugs and breeze. “Kal, it's me!”

I rushed back to the shack to see Kate wearing a dark green camouflage uniform, backpack bulging behind her, a smaller bag strapped around her waist. She carried a satchel over her shoulder and looked like someone prepared for a long, rough journey.

I ran up to her and we hugged, she breathed heavily, had clearly been running. “No time for pausing, we gotta move. Grab your things.”

I already had my small bag in hand and slung it around my neck. Kate handed me the satchel and I shouldered that as well. She nodded toward the West and we were in motion immediately. As we moved quickly into the woods and tried to avoid the thickest areas, she called back to me in bursts. “Gotta get East. Keep moving. Nina's will be there soon.”

“Be where?”

“A point about an hour away. Keep up!”

Beyond that, the only sounds were the breeze and my rapid breath. In the dark, it was difficult to pick our way along, but Kate was fearless despite the branches and brush which scraped her clothing. My arms were covered with red scratches by the time we made our way into a low clearing near the water and headed inland briefly before once more diving through thick trees and moved on.

We passed only a couple of buildings that I could see in the dark, both rundown cabins which were unlit and silent.

The hour passed very quickly and we pulled up near a place where the shore rose a few meters above the surf and a small peninsula jutted to the North. We picked our way to the tip and Kate motioned me to rest a moment. We both sat on our ankles and looked out at the dark water where the breaking waves reflected the fingernail moon which sat low to the West.

Kate huddled close to me, whispered, “she should be here already... just... be patient. Nina's on her way. When she gets here, we need to get out quickly. Patrol schedule will have one of the cutters moving by in about ninety minutes, we need to be well away by then. There's a rope ladder over the side which goes down to a narrow ledge. Will be tricky but Nina says the tide should be right to get the boat in close enough.”

I let out a nervous breath. Kate took my hand, said sweetly, “hang in there... you're going home, Kal.”

That did wonders for my spirit. I was excited already, nearly sick with fear and worry. Kate's words steeled me to the task at hand. After all the weeks in Papeete, I was finally on my way toward returning to my family. Worries about how things would go when we got there, how the islanders would react to Kate and Nina, how those two would react to Bailey and the others --- assuming anyone was still alive --- were pushed aside as the thought that I might finally see everyone again took hold and flourished in my mind.

We waited for what felt like hours but was probably only fifteen minutes. Kate spotted a reflection to the West, far out from shore. She guided us into the tree line, whispered, “let's stay out of sight in case that's not her.” We watched the vessel approach and draw slowly toward the peninsula. A flashlight blinked three times, then once, then three times again. Kate returned two blinks, then one, then nodded. “Let's move!”

As the boat throttled down and drifted close to the island, Kate tossed our bags out a few feet to where Kelv was waiting. One after another, she continued until all that was left was the two of us. She pointed toward the simple rope ladder and I started down.

At the bottom was a narrow ledge, perhaps three feet wide which ran around the end of the peninsula. Nina had maneuvered the boat to within six feet and was fighting the waves to keep it steady. Freya and Kelv extended a wooden plank and held one end tightly as I took the other and planted it against the ledge. I looked up to see Kate making her way down the ladder, then turned back to the boat.

I was across without a thought, the rocking boat making it unsteady but it only took a couple of steps to find myself on the deck. Kate was right behind me and in only moments, the plank was withdrawn and Nina was angling the boat back toward the North.

Freya drew me and Kate back to where Nina operated the controls. I hugged Freya, kissed Nina, whispered “thank you” over an over. I asked, “what can I do to help?”

Nina never took her eyes off the water as the boat began to throttle up and splash heavily against the opposing waves. “Go up to the bow and help watch for other vessels. We got away unseen, but there's always a chance we could be spotted.”

I nodded and strode up to the front, the dark water and darker sky making it difficult to see much. The boat jumped with each wave, spraying me with warm, salty water with each splash. I didn't care at all, my mind was focused on only what I had to do to get back home.

An hour or so into our flight the sun began to rise and I was able to get a better look at the boat. It was ragged, rough, unpainted wood more common than the dark-blue stain that had once been the primary color. Some of it looked rotted, well-weathered. Even the deck boards felt loose in spots.

Kate joined me on the bow after a while, took my arm and looked out at the water. We stood quietly for a few minutes before I asked, “how long will this take?”

“Most of the day. There are some storms to worry about that might make things rough. We're almost out to the limits of the patrols. Once Nina gives the all-clear we can relax a bit.”

“I don't think I can relax. Not now... not so close.”

Kate rested her head on my shoulder, fingers wrapping through mine. “I know... so close. Maybe, though... maybe I can help you relax... you know... one last time before... before...”

She didn't finish her thought but she didn't need to for me to understand. Things were going to change for her again, for me as well. She and Nina had had me to themselves for some time, the reality of my life away from them distant and moving further into the past. Now, they were hours away from rushing up against my other life, the one they both knew I'd have chosen if forced. But only if forced.

None of us knew how it would go, and I ached with worry for how Kate and Nina would be affected seeing me with the others. I squeezed Kate's hand tighter and let myself feel overwhelmed and uncertain as the spray from the waves soaked my skin.

Nina joined us after a time, took my other hand and leaned in. She said, “Kelv's got the helm for a while, I need a break, been a very long night. We're out past the patrol range, should be alone for some time. Freya will keep an eye on the horizon for us if you'd like to go below for a while...”

The smile on her face was all the encouragement I needed.

Nina led Kate and me back toward where a ladder led belowdecks. Boxes and large crates were piled everywhere but a narrow walkway which led to a small cabin. Nina opened the door and we went inside. The room was small, the setting drab. Large cloth bags covered the floor, piled highest near the front of the room where a bit of light broke through a small window. Nina paused a moment, then turned to us.

“Kal... we... we know this is complicated, ok? For all of us. When we get there... whatever we find... whatever happens... I'm not leaving you again. Not again.”

“Thank you. I promise... we'll work it out, no matter what. I promise you both that.”

No more was said as she pulled me down onto a pile of sacks, her legs spread, my body settled over hers. As I started to kiss Nina, Kate's hands ran over my ass and back, her lips seeking my neck and arms where she nibbled on my briny flesh. My fingers found her tits and massaged them through her uniform top.

Kate unbuttoned her shirt and let her braless breasts fall out. I cradled them as my lips mashed against Nina's, the younger woman's body sweaty and moving under me, her hips coaxing my cock to rise against my pants.

The redhead pulled Nina's shirt off as the brunette unzipped my pants and took my hard penis in her hands. I sucked on Nina's tits, her soft moans rising as my fingers stroked her crotch over her rough jeans.

I drew back, unzipped Nina's pants and drew them away from her body, her panties coming with them. I smelled Nina's cunt strongly, the sweat and fear and excitement of the night wafting rich and pungent in the still air of the cabin. Cock in hand, I penetrated Nina quickly, a long moan escaping her lips as I sank myself in her vagina.

Kate's lips found Nina's and as I began to hump the younger woman, Nina pulled off Kate's pants and quickly found her snatch. The women moaned together, panting, Nina's body writhing as I fucked her. Kate found her clit and I could feel her fingers moving just above where my cock slid in and out of Nina's slick, sticky pussy.

Nina shuddered and I lost control. I cried out as I exploded exploded, my sperm flooding Nina's cunt, forcefully filling her vagina with potent semen. I sucked on Nina's neck as I ejaculated, her body held down under mine, Kate's arm trapped but moving quickly between us.

My cock pulsed jism into Nina's hole as the woman began to orgasm below me, her hips shaking and jerking as she came. I pulled out and back, watched as Nina's vagina gaped, semen spilling out and down over her tight anus. Old habits kicked in as I drew Kate to kneel between Nina's thighs and the redhead immediately started licking and purring as she cleaned up the creampie I'd left there.

I moved back and stared a moment at Kate's upturned ass. She'd let her pubes grow in fully. They covered her swollen, sticky labia and trailed up over and around her anus. I knelt as she ate Nina's cummy pussy, tasting Kate's juices, the strong sweet and tart mix coating my lips and tongue. She smelled heavenly, warm, salty, creamy flesh rising into me as I sniffed. I lapped her cunt, my nose pressed against Kate's sweaty asshole, and I inhaled her private odors as deeply as I could.

Kate's vagina began to open like a flower, her labia spreading wide, becoming very slick. I rose and found myself quickly penetrating the redhead's cunt. She grunted into Nina's crotch as I filled her with my cock, the slickness of my earlier cum mixing with Kate's own creamy discharge.

I rocked myself in and out of Kate's vagina, growing harder as I fucked her. I watched her head bob between Nina's thighs, the younger woman's eyes finding mine often, her mouth open and a long string of moans and sighs coming from her throat. Nina started to shudder again as she watched me fuck Kate, the redhead lapping quickly through her slit, moans vibrating the other woman's crotch.

I felt myself draw tight again, so deliciously aroused and excited with my penis surrounded by Kate's hot flesh, her vagina slick and burning along my length. Nina came hard, her legs wrapping around Kate's head. I grabbed Nina's ankles as I fucked Kate, held on as the younger woman orgasmed with the redhead's tongue tasting her flowing juices.

Kate's body jerked, her fingers then twirling between her own legs, frigging her clit harder and harder as I pumped her body. Her vagina clenched and became very wet, her juices flooding me as her orgasm came on fast and strong. I humped her steadily as she came, her moans not muffled despite her face being buried between Nina's thighs.

As her climax radiated through her, Kate's vagina became tight, clamping down on me as I fucked her, drawing closer to my own release. I looked down and watched the sight which had been so familiar for so many years. My dick slid easily in and out of Kate's pussy, her tight, sweaty pink anus just slightly open, hairy, above her cunt. I loved that sight, watching my length move inside her body while her anus winked and her ass cheeks jiggled with each thrust.

I let myself go, bellowed, humped Kate. I held her hips, pulled our bodies together with force, slammed my penis through her vagina and back and slid in again, cumming then, cumming hard, filling Kate with my seed. I ground against her, released more semen into her pussy, spewing my fertile jism deep in the redhead's wonderful slick pussy. I couldn't look away from her asshole as I spurted, cum flooding her hole as her ass strained and shook.

I was spent completely, slowed my movements, slowly worked my hands over Kate's ass cheeks. She and Nina moaned softly, panting, Kate's head resting on Nina's Mons. The smell in the room was thick with the sweat of their bodies, of their wet pussies, of the rich, pungent sperm I'd left in their vaginas.

I pulled out of Kate and collapsed. She drew over me and settled on my side. They turned and each laid their heads on my chest, their breasts pressed into me. I held them tight, let out a long, slow breath. It felt like I'd been holding that breath for hours. We'd all needed one last time together, like the old days, before my two families crashed together. None of us knew what to expect, what would happen, but we'd shared that powerful moment making clear with our bodies that we were in it together.

I whispered lovely words in each woman's ear and they did the same. Their bodies were warm, sticky, and mine was as well. I inhaled again, took in the sweat and pheromones, kissed Kate and then Nina deeply.

I was just hours away from finding out what had happened on the island. If anyone had survived, if my child had been born. If my first wife and our passionate third could find peace and love as I had with the survivors on the island. The space between my old life and my new was growing smaller by the minute. It was a lot to think about. Too much, really. And at some point, I drifted off with two women who I loved deeply snuggled into me, perhaps afraid to let me go, afraid to lose me again.
