Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2023 10:23:05 +1000 From: Gavin Hurst Subject: A life Less Ordinary 57-60 Chapter 57 Being relaxed in a beautiful setting does wonders for the soul. But yet, I couldn't fully unwind knowing the Jackson was not in great shape, and I was concerned we were in the middle of nowhere without the best possible medical support. Michelle had strict instructions to make any necessary decision regarding Jackson, without my approval, and just do whatever she needed. The food and drinks flowed freely as our yacht continued on its way to the Cayman Islands. The bright light for me were seeing my daughters unwind without scrutiny and having to be in the spotlight, which is something they were coming to terms with. What they wore, who they were friends with, if they got drunk in a bar. They were good girls, and always managed, so far, to be out of the limelight. Heading to bed on that first night, I slipped quietly in next to Jackson who hadn't moved in hours. Michelle came and changed his IV and said goodnight. Placing one arm over his torso, I just wanted to hug him, but I couldn't, and it upsetting in the least. As morning rose over waters, the brilliance of the Cayman Islands came into view. It was just after dawn and I was the first up. As a coffee was bought to me, I witnessed a pod of dolphins swimming up next to us, and it bought with them hope that everything would be ok. It was a beautiful sight to behold, and as I settled back into my seat I was joined by Sam who looked a little worse for wear. "Morning Sunshine!" I said as he grabbed his coffee and groaned as he sat down near me. "You don't seem a happy camper this morning, what's eating you." "Hahaha, not what, but who. James was feeling particularly horny last night, and I am struggling to walk this morning." As his frown turned to a grin. "Things appear to be going well for you both." I remarked. "Yeah, it is really good. Sometimes I wish we were together more, but I know, it's our jobs, and it is not always easy. But thanks for this trip, we needed the downtime." "Sometimes you need to make time for yourself. You seem at times to push yourself more than needed. It's ok to stop you know." I added, letting him know I supported him, and was aware of the crazy hours he did sometimes. "I just want to make sure I do a good job. It's important to me." "So is James. Remember that Kiddo." I said as a shirtless Michael appeared. "Oh Romeo Romeo!" I laughed as he walked closer. "Shut up Boss. I have a splitting headache and hangover! No one told me that those drinks I was drinking had so much alcohol in them last night. Your bloody daughters have a lot of explaining to do!" "Hahaha. Can't keep up with a couple of girls these days. Oh, how the mighty have fallen!" I threw back at him. He & Sam became engaged in a conversation as one of the crew came to see if we'd like breakfast or to wait. I was hungry and suggested the three of us would start now. It wasn't long before platters of eggs, bacon, sausage, pastries, pancakes were bought out, which seemed to bring most others out on to the deck. "You're all like a flock of seagulls" I said as I served myself and grabbed a seat. As we sat around the tables eating, the vibe was really good. Somewhere family, but many were friends, new friends we had gotten to known over a short period of time, and ones that I knew would do anything for us. As we were eating, James asked me to attend his team briefing shortly so we could discuss the day's events, who was need where, and what dangers we may face. It was a relatively low threat, but as always there was one there. Whilst the girls wanted to go shopping, I was more eager to just walk around and explore. James and I would be walking about town, whilst the girls would have Karl & Sam as well as 4 details with them at all times. Michelle was heading to the international medical centre with a driver to collect Jacksons IV drips and to monitor him for the day. As the main port was full, we had to use the tenders to get to the pier and as we approached the docks, I was looking forward to exploring the town. I had heard a lot about Georgetown and was eager to explore. Chapter 58 Being dockside is what I needed. Whilst I loved being on the yacht I was a natural explorer when I travelled. I want to know where I am at and I want to feel like I am a part of my destination. Doing it with out Jackson was hard, but I knew we'd return again sometime and explore more together. As James and I wondered about, we just chatted like mates. I was aware that with his leg not 100% we'd have to rest a bit, and I was fine with this. As the sun beat down on us, I was happy to stop off at one of the many bars that were around the city and enjoy a cocktail. As we were exploring, I came across an old bank building that was vacant. It was everything I loved about bank buildings. Over 100 years old, built of stone, with the type of architecture that told you it was purpose built for a bank. The for sale sign on its door had a number, and being curious, I phoned the agent. He came to meet with us ASAP, and as he opened the door, the smell of history overcame me. I could feel its presence in me, and whilst The Cayman Islands was known well as tax haven, it's local banking structure was poorly designed for the everyday person. Grabbing Johan on the phone, I explained what I had, and where I was. "Can we make this work?" I asked. "We can make anything work," he replied laughing. "Send me the contract, because I know you are going to buy it, regardless." I laughed as I ended the call. I made an offer to the Agent, and whilst he thought it was generous, he would need to speak with the vendor for a reply. "I am leaving in the morning, if we don't have an answer by then, deals off." I stated as we started to leave the building. As we continued our walk, we came across an excited bunch who had been shopping. Whilst they were loaded with bags, they were hungry and ready to lunch. We found a bar that could seat us all together and chatted about our morning, with me omitting the fact about the bank. I didn't want anyone to know until I had settled the deal. I always hated sharing things on a maybe, and then have it backfire on me. I felt I had failed if I hadn't delivered. We sat and joked around the table whilst we ate and drank, and decided that it was time for some fun in the water, and headed back to the yacht. Whilst everyone went to get changed I took the time to check on my main man. "Hey babycakes," I said as I walked in to the main suite. "You look a little better today, how you feeling." "Actually, besides feeling like a fool, I am not doing too bad. I am so sorry about spoiling our holiday." He said, sounding sheepishly. "Hey, my main concern is your health, but no more crazy antics. You're not superman and I need you around for the long haul. Did you want to come sit up on the deck in the sun?" "Yes please! That would be awesome. Just want to shower first and I may need Nurse Ratchett to top me up again first." "Hey, be nice to her. She's your biggest ally in this" I laughed at him. "Yeah, Yeah, I know. She's pretty amazing." And right on cue Michelle walked in. "Hi Michelle, I was going to shower the sick & frail here, and take him topside if that's ok with you." "Excellent. Then maybe I can get some sun." she joked. As we made our way in to the shower, I was grateful for its sheer size as it was easier for me to get in with Jackson that to help him, than stand out and reach in. Every time we shower together, we always end up as hard as a rock, and this time was no different, except there was no play time allowed. I wasn't taking any chances, although I wanted him badly. As we dried off, I grabbed him some shorts to slip into. "Oh no you don't!" He said as I approached him with the shorts. "This is the fucking Caribbean, I will wear speedo's thank you very much." He said as he laughed away. "Oh God. Here we go, the prima donna is back!" I joked. As we slipped him into his speedo's, His cock, whilst soft, was showing off to be firm and full. There was no hiding his size. Out side I could hear the jetskis and other water craft going about the water as the kids and others enjoyed themselves. After a quick change for me, Michelle and I helped Jackson down the stairs to the Aft deck where everyone gathered. James, Michael and Corey were the only ones there as we walked out, with everyoine else in the water. "OK Bitches, I am back" Jackson stated to laughter from all. Michael and James could not help but stare at Jackson as he filled out his speedo to fully highlight his package. As I put oil on his back, he laid face down on the lounge to get some sun and rest. Having worked outdoors for the majority of his life, I was always amazed at James' tan, and tall lean frame, coupled with a strong masculine furry chest, and a height factor that turned me on. To me he was a god, I was still in love him just as much today as when we first met. Our flame had never gone out. I went and joined the kids in the water, and grabbed Jules as we went for a spin on the Jetski. This was living in my eyes, and it couldn't get any better than this. Growing up in Australia, especially in our part of the country, the beach culture is something ingrained at an early life. As a youngster, I could be found on the beach just about everyday, including school days when we would grab a sneaky surf before doing our homework. Our kids had been raised in a similar manner, and it was hard to keep them out. The first casualty of the trip was Marcus who came off the jetski in a sharp turn, hitting his head on the side of the craft when being flung off. Jules was acting like a mother hen, much to my amusement, as she tried to fix things. Michelle took over and applied 3 stitches to his head to fix him up, but I think the greatest damage was done to his ego. As the afternoon started to turn towards night, the captain came and spoke to me about the evenings party that was planned. James was in the loop so I knew it was all set to happen. The plan was dinner in a restaurant, then drinks at the partnering bar on the beach. What could wrong I thought to myself. Every one soon retreated to their cabins to prepare, and I could even sense a buzz with the crew. The engineer, one cabin crew & one Deckhand were remaining, just `in case' of any issues arising. As we all tendered into shore, again, I hated leaving Jackson behind, but he insisted I go. I hated doing things without him, as he was my soulmate. I was caught in a catch 22 situation. Dinner was in a beautiful setting on the waters edged, and we could see the Lady Lucia lit up as she bounced on the water. Whether it was day or night, she was such a spectacular vessel to be hold, and this beautiful even, she was certainly looking her best. Chapter 59 As we were eating, the sound of a helicopter flying low overhead was heard, as we looked up we were following her path as she headed down to land on the bow of Lady Lucia, on the helipad. My heart rate increased 10 fold as I looked at the captain, and James, to see if they knew what was going on. Neither of them gave any indication, and made me jump out of the seat and ring Michelle. "Michelle, what's going on. Why is there a helicopter on the boat!" I screamed down the line. "Jackson is unresponsive, we are not sure what is wrong they are transferring him to the hospital now. I will meet you there." "What do you mean unresponsive." I didn't hear her respond as I fainted on to the ground. As I was coming to, I was surrounded by Michael and James, and my girls and they were getting up to go to the hospital. It was a 20 min drive away and I knew I just had to breath to survive. As we arrived at the hospital, James was first in as Michael covered me from the rear. I was in a half pace half walk state. "Grant Von Garbner, you have my husband here." I demanded to know. Whilst I was abrupt, I couldn't think of how to respond any other way. "He is currently in surgery sir, if you don't mind, I have some form for you to fill out." As the nurse finished saying that, Michelle came around the corner. She was looking distraught. James grabbed the clipboard off the nurse, whilst Michelle attempted to talk through sobs of tears. Jackson was unresponsive when Michelle went to do her hourly checks on him, once realising he was in that state, she did a medivac procedure, as per the textbook straight away. Upon examination she noticed that one of his eyes was blood filled, indicating a brain bleed, which she knew was not good. As he had pulse and vitals, Michelle continued to try and make him respond to her, and at which time the helicopter arrived with two paramedics on board who then transferred him here. As one of the doctors came to see me, they advised had found an Intracranial Hematoma towards the front of his skull. This may have been caused by his kidnapping, or, and it appeared to be more recent, from a trip or a fall Jackson had had. Neither Michelle of I were aware of a fall he had had, and were alarmed at the possibility of Jackson not telling us he'd fallen over, or, considering he'd only recently had brain surgery, that he had hit his head. Now was not the time to answer these questions, now was the time to make him good. They were preparing for surgery to stop the bleed, which should help, but could leave some permanent brain damage, and, potentially be life threatening if not fixed in time. Sitting in that waiting room felt like ground hog day. It wasn't too long ago that I sat in a hospital in Frankfurt as Dr's gave me no guarantee of his survival, only that they would do everything possible. By now I was joined by the girls, Sam, Karl & Marcus & Corey. "Go back to the yacht and I will let you know when he is out of surgery." I said, turning my back to them so they couldn't see the tears that were forming in my eyes. "We are here, we are with you, we are not leaving" said Michael as his hand moved to my shoulder. I turned to him, not knowing where else to look and broke down in his arms. I just wanted this to end. It was just not fair, was all I could think. We were soon joined by Maggie and Jules who were each alone in their fears of losing their Dada. If there was thing I was certain of, that was that I could never see myself living without Jackson. Soon Karl had taken over organising everyone, and had arranged for a coffee station be put in the waiting room, and some sandwiches as we all prepared to wait. 3:30am and as we waited it out, the Dr's approached me in the waiting room. Jackson was alive. Somehow he had come through another miracle and was still with us, surprisingly in good spirits. He was awake, in recovery. I could see him if I wished, but only briefly. Michael walked with me. "Told you boss, nothing to worry about. He isn't going anywhere." The look on his face was pure relief, as I think he knew his life would have been hell had I had lost him. "Hey Babycakes, how you doing." I said softly as I approached his bed. "Need sleep, but my headache has started to go." "Why didn't you say something. We nearly lost you." "I thought it was all related to the other, and I stopped taking my meds so I thought when I started again, the symptoms would disappear." "Ok, new rules. The slightest bit of symptoms, and you speak up. You nearly killed me in the process." I said with a faint smile. "The Dr said I can only stay a few minutes. So I am going to let you rest and head back to the yacht, but the girls want to come in and give you kisses." I reached down and kissed his cheek and brushed some post surgery dry blood of his chin. I finally knew he would be ok, if he just followed the rules. Walking back out to the waiting room, I told the girls to through one at a time, as I summonsed James & Sam over to me. "Sam, find me a house here on the island with all the usual security measures I need. James, I am going to stay here with Jackson and I will keep Michael & Karl with me, whilst you guys enjoy your trip. I wont need Michelle whilst Jackson is in hospital so she may as well enjoy some downtime until he is needing care again." In unison they both replied acknowledgment of their tasks. I knew they would make it happen. "Hey Michael, have you got a spare minute?" I asked casually "Of course!" "So, I am going to keep you and Karl here with me, Sam is going to find us a house to stay at whilst Jackson is in hospital. That work for you?" "Boss, It's all good. But, you don't have to keep Karl here, it's my job and that comes first." "Haha, I'm keeping him here to keep the house running and me organised, not just to keep the otherside of your bed warm." I laughed as I spoke. After speaking to Michelle & Karl, I had the girls ride back with me in the car, and I filled them in. They were pretty good with it, with Maggie lecturing me I had to phone if anything happened. Chapter 60 Late the next day, as we departed by tender, the 3 of us made way for the house Sam had managed to secure for us at the last minute. A beautiful ocean front villa with pool and the most spectacular tropical gardens I had ever seen. `I can't wait to show Jackson' I thought to myself as, as I wondered around. As I asked Karl to settle us in, I grabbed Michael and set off to the hospital to check in with my favourite patient. He was sitting up looking a bit brighter today, but I still knew he had a long way to go this time, and there would be no short cuts or secrets. I told him what was organised, and what the plans were going forward. Whilst he did try to protest a little, he knew I wouldn't be taking directions from him in the near future. There was to be no early marks out of hospital, there would be no skipping any rehab or rounds of medications. He was going to do 100% what he was told to do, and no interpterion of that would be entered into. That night as I settled into the surrounds of the rental property Sam had taken on, I took the opportunity to strip off and go sit in the Jacuzzi. I was loved the feeling of those warm water jets hitting my balls and making my cock hard. Tonight was no different as I laid there with my eyes closed feeling the jet work on my balls, as my elevated levels of pleasure rose. I was suddenly aware of noise around me and opened my eyes to Karl and Michael heading towards me. "Oh, sorry sir" Karl said as the approached. "We'd thought you had finished. We can come back later." "No no, it's fine, please. Join me" I instructed. "But you will have to excuse my nakedness. I didn't plan on have visitors." "It's ok boss, I have seen it before." Quipped Michael. I was always pretty relaxed in my own body, and was comfortable being naked around people. As long as they were OK, I was good. Leaving the boys in the hot tub, I went upstairs to shower and get some sleep. Standing in the shower, with the warm water cascading over my body, I was feeling rather horny, as my cock rose and my balls started to fill. The need to pleasure myself was starting to overwhelm with and thought I would be more comfortable laying on my bed and taking the time to edge myself to climax. As I walked out in to the bedroom, I could the moans of pleasure coming from outside, and walked out on to my balcony in the semi darkness of night to hear where it was coming from. Laid out before me was Michael on his back, naked and hard, with Karl between his legs working on Michael's fat cock. Whilst I knew it was a private affair, my eyes couldn't turn away as Karl took all of him in and worked his knob with both passion and speed. I started to work my hard cock in my hand as these two beauties' pleasured one another, and I, watched on with intent. As Karl worked his way up Michael's torso, kissing him all over, I was now working so hard, I could feel my balls tense up. As Karl planted his tight arse on Michaels thick member, I could hear the moan escape him as he opened wide to take his thick rod deep inside him. As they moved together in unison, their rhythm was spectacular to behold. I knew if I kept watching my own seed would soon explode. In a swift move, Michael was now taking Karl from behind, and telling his lover he was about to lose control and fill him with his love. As he pumped harder and faster, I could see Karl thrashing about as he tried to work his own decent cock beneath him, knowing that the two of them, as well as me, were about to all empty our loads in one place of another. I couldn't hold back any longer as watched Michael's now glistening body pound in to Karl with such force. As I jerked faster the first waves of cum left my body as I grunted and groaned in an earthy manner, without trying to alert to my presence. As wave after wave of cum fit the ground, I watched as Michael unloaded into Karl, and Karl unloaded into his hand. For me it was both erotic & careless, as I watched this intimate act between two lovers below. As I turned to walk inside and clean up, I felt a sense of guilt, yet satisfied at the same time. Whilst down below I heard some distant chatter. "Do you think he liked the show?" Michael asked Karl? "I am pretty sure he did." He said as they both grinned. I made my way to bed, and got comfortable before flicking. On the TV to help me unwind and take my mind off things. The late news was starting as I laid back, only to be confronted by topless footage of my daughters breasts flashed across the screen, pictures taken by paparazzi whilst they were on the yacht. The news tag line showing "heiress goes topless in the tropics" Grabbing my phone of the table, I dialled James. "What the FUCK!" I yelled down the phone as he answered. "What now?" He said sounding surprised. "Why are Jules tits being flashed across the Nightly news" I demanded to know. "I have no idea what you are talking about" "turn on the news, it's the main lead in story." Whilst I was far from prudish, I protected my daughters where ever possible. Jackson, I could only imagine would have this humorous, but I was certainly not in the mood. As James turned on the TV, he let out a very deflated "Oh, fuck" "There is nothing we can do now, but James, please, have a word with them. I trust you to make sure this doesn't happen again. I have enough shit going on, without dealing with anything extra." As I hung up the phone, I thought to myself, what else can happen on this trip. It was supposed to be a vacation to get away from the drama that over stayed it's welcome in recent months. Right now I felt as if we had travelled in to the abyss instead.
