A New Opportunity and a New Friend.

It is a new year and on the horizon is the anniversary of Jane's party and despite the negative side of Olivia's behaviour on that occasion all the women at the Retreat agree that it should be an annual repeat. The problem is their partners, in discussion they realised that everyone had to find a different partner from the husband or boyfriend whom they had broken with since the previous event. There have been a mixture of guys who have taken part in Retreat events during the year who are potential choices, Jane and Bree have become associated with a number of men who could fill in for anyone short of a partner. Olivia might have had a list of possibilities but David had driven many of them away, the Ladies aren't sure who shall be his partner for the evening either. The question is whether to hold the event at the Hotel or at one of the houses. Whatever they decided they recognised that it would take some organising well in advance

Their Development Company had several projects in progress, but the search for new sites slowed down when the new babies arrived, and priority was given to their wellbeing. Then a Retreat opportunity comes to their attention in the mountains near San Francisco and it includes an established golf course. Rachael has already been there but isn't sure about the viability, so David has flown out. Upon arrival, he is prepared to be hit by a hard sell from the vendors when they insist on meeting him and driving him to the site and providing accommodation. This expectation is somehow heightened when he is greeted at the airport by a very attractive woman he always thought of as his 'type'. Even anticipating that the deal must be poor, it didn't stop him appraising her curves as they headed out of the airport. He climbed into the passenger seat and after the usual conversational greetings he excused himself while he messaged some of the people back home, 'There is something not right about this, can you check out the background and accounts for the golf course?'

Meanwhile, Ciaron, the woman who met him, in actuality is exceedingly friendly as they drive up and up and didn't once refer to the golf course. After a while, he had to broach the subject himself asking how long the course had been owned. "My family owned the land and built a golf course thinking it was the best use, with San Francisco relatively near but without destroying the countryside too much."

He was staying overnight to return in time to fly home for their party and she drove him to a Chalet type of house where she showed him around, "We don't have a hotel convenient for you, so I hope you are comfortable staying here with us."

"Us?"

"My husband and I. He is in the city on business at the moment."

She led him up to his room; it was comfortable with a desk that would suit him well he thought. She indicated the door for the bathroom and a closet if he needed it. "Would you like to have a drive around the area to get a feel of the place or take a quick look at the course and buildings?"

"What I'd like to do is have a look at the land that isn't part of the course."

She looked surprised, worried.

He dumped his bag on the bed and suggested they head straight out. They drove along a winding road to an overlook where she pulled over. They looked down to a valley with the smooth contours of a golf course to the left heading up towards the top of the valley, below and to the right is natural land ending in what appears to be a drop. Beyond the drop, he could just make out a view towards the flat lands between the mountains and the sea. He thought it could be breath-taking. Pointing to the edge, he asked, "Can we go there?"

The look on her face was definitely worried.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, we can go, there's a pull off and then a walk, is that ok?" she said, obviously hoping he wouldn't want to.

He nodded.

A good while later, they are stood at the edge of a drop, a gradual inclining rock strewn slope for about two hundred feet and then fell away sharply. David was very impressed and began considering the access. It would have to be a route similar to the one they had walked but he didn't like cutting trees, so he began to explore. She began to become inquisitive, trying to work out what he was interested in and eventually had to ask.

"Aren't you interested in the Golf Course?"

"If you're selling, I am not sure I should say, you don't seem like someone who wants to sell?"

She looked back at him equally reserved, and then couldn't hold back "It's not me that wants to sell, it's my husband, this land has been in my family for many years, but he isn't interested and thinks we could live better by investing in something else."

"I can imagine what kind of investment he would be thinking about, your course doesn't make that much profit according to the accounts."

She was obviously angry about the situation because her expression was one of a tight response to the criticism.

"Suppose there was an option where you could keep the Golf Course?" he suggested.

Her expression was now one of suspicion and he couldn't blame her.

"Let's have a quick look at the course then," he suggested

The facilities had seen better days, they were clean and well maintained but appeared to be an old house converted and then extended, the course spread out before it with 9 holes at the front and the same at the rear. As the land reached the head of the valley it levelled to what David thought might be a lake but there was definitely a small river winding its way down and criss-crossed the valley with cute bridges at intervals. David didn't know much about golf course design, but this seemed to him to have a wealth of potential.

Deciding to leave the internal inspection until the next day, David asked where the best local restaurants are "We only have one," she said, "and a café."

"Do you mind eating at the restaurant with me? I have come from a later time zone, so it's long past my usual time for eating. Would we need to book?"

"I don't have anything you might call classy to wear"

"I can't imagine anything would look bad on you, a beautiful woman like you always looks good." He could see she liked the compliment but at the same time was defensive of her position. "Is it ok for me to wear slacks and a shirt?" he asked.

"I'm sure it will be fine," she replied, realising that she had agreed to have dinner with him so added "Booking shouldn't be necessary, but I will call anyway."

They headed back and dressed quickly but as is customary, he found himself waiting near the bottom of the stairs. As she came down, he soon realised that the vision that was joining him would distract him all evening, so he fetched his notepad and some information about their schemes for something to discuss and occupy his overactive imagination. She had enhanced her beauty with a tight buttoned up blouse that proudly showed her figure without too much skin and this was complemented with a smart necklace. She further surprised him by wearing neat slacks and a pair of sensibly heeled shoes that made for a practical and attractive ensemble. A compliment from David of "You look very nice indeed" appeared to be accepted by way of a slight smile.

The restaurant, like the golf house, appeared to have been grand once but seen better days, the owner, a woman, knew Ciaron well if the effusive greeting was anything to go by. There was a smattering of suitable tables, but they were royally treated, being escorted to a table with a view of the mountains in the distance. They perused the menu, but David thought that Ciaron had the look of someone who knew what was on it. "Any recommendations?" he asked. It made for easy conversation, and he pressed on to ask about her life which seemed to easily lead to her husband, he sensed there was a break in their relationship and he needed to find out more. Eventually through careful prodding, he discovered that her husband had no interest in the golf course and wanted to move to the city, so that reading between the lines he suspected that there was a lot more to it.

"I assume that you don't want to give up your family land and it is more important than money for you" he said.

"I can manage, my house is in my name as is the land, but I will lose a share if I divorce him."

"So, what's stopping you?"

"Just money, I would need a PI to find out what I need and a lawyer to get the best deal."

David considered for a moment, "I can help you, but I need to trust you."

"You trust me! More like me, trust you!"

"I am going to hand you some documents, they are confidentiality agreements. If you agree to the confidentiality I can help you, I'm not going to try to swindle you out of money. These are about protecting other people. It will cost you nothing to read them. I've signed them and everyone involved has signed them."

"Involved with what?"

"The project you will hear more about if you sign."

David handed her the documents relating to the Retreats, she read them in between mouths of her starter, shrugged, and signed. Throughout the main course and into dessert he described what the group did, then he handed her the one dealing with the development company. This she signed without hesitation, she was dying to find out more, and so he described how they were trying to create a network of Retreats supported by high class business facilities.

"I can't see you supporting your Retreat home from the golf business we have," she observed.

He now faced a dilemma, if he gave away more of the project it would affect her thinking about the site value. It was now or never to come up with a deal that would be good for her but flexible in the future depending what approvals they obtained.

"Would you mind if I made some suggestions on how we might structure a deal?"

She thought for a moment. "No, fire away."

"I would suggest that you lease us the land for a Perpetuity, and we pay the price you are asking, that will give you enough to pay your husband. We can structure that to suit you if you like, perhaps less initially to trim his share and more later when we have all the permissions to carry out improvements. In a side document, we agree to pay you the land value with the benefit of permission for what we plan to do, but ignoring the Retreat and associated buildings. This will then give you a bonus after your divorce. I would prefer to own the Development and Retreat land outright, but I am happy to structure a lease for the golf course and remainder so that the freehold stays in your family. Would something like that appeal to you?"

She was so surprised that she just stared at him for a good while. Eventually she said "So what's the development in your plan? I assume you want to build more than just a Retreat?"

"Very much so but I need you to sign the final confidentiality document first and receive your word that the deal I have just outlined is satisfactory in principle and that you will not allow information to be released in order to force up the price beyond that which is fair and reasonable at this moment in time."

Again, she thought then began perusing the confidentiality document, as far as she could see there was nothing in it that bound her to anything except to keep everything they planned and discussed secret. She sighed and then signed with a flourish.

He continued then "Aside from your local customers our project brings its own clients but first we would need to upgrade your facilities." He could see her protective reaction to this. "Bear in mind that the kind of people who will be coming in will arrive by helicopter or private jet." She looked at him quizzically.

He looked at her resignedly, the only way was to tell her what he would like to achieve here, and the problem was whether he would get permission for it. So, he pulled out his pad and drew a sketch of how he foresaw a hotel built into the slope with each level staggered so that plants could be grown to overhang and eventually it would disappear into the hillside as the plants became mature. Each room would have its own balcony and Jacuzzi so that people could enjoy the view while they soaked, there would be an infinity pool with heavy planting for privacy and so on and on as he described his fantasy development with the minimum of impact on the natural surroundings. He hadn't been paying attention because when he finished, he found other people standing around paying full attention. He decided he had better sow some good feeling by suggesting that the restaurant and other facilities would need local people.

David was shocked when Ciaron looked across to one of the men and asked, "What do you think, Mayor?"

'Ohh shit!' thought David. He was to discover that his evening meal was to become an impromptu council meeting. Carol the Restaurateur had been listening in and called some other members to hear what was being discussed. David was finding out the hard way how small towns could work. They were full of questions, so David got them all to sign forms or add their signatures to others. Before long, they found themselves surrounded by a circle of chairs filled with people with strong opinions. David felt like a criminal in the dock as he was questioned but he was lucky because he had started from a position of protecting the environment and then jobs, some were worried about losing existing businesses and jobs.

It wasn't that late by local time but when they arrived back at the Chalet David was feeling bone tired and he had just committed to staying another day, the Ladies back east were going to suspect that he contrived to stay away. He messaged to say he had already taken part in an impromptu council meeting, yet he hadn't finalised the deal over the land yet. He could be away for a few days after all and might need someone to take over if it ran on too long.

Despite his tiredness he needed to talk to Ciaron before bed otherwise this could all be for nothing. They discussed how he could help her with the divorce and how they might structure the deal until the divorce came through. By midnight or 3am back in the eastern zone they had discussed pretty much all they could and were fast becoming friends.

He was late rising the next day, picked up his razor, wash gear and clothes and backed his way into the bathroom, as he reached to hang his clothes on the back of the door he heard a giggle behind him, he thought nothing of it as he continued and then turned to look straight at two brown eyes of a person languishing in the bath. Almost hidden in bubbles, Ciaron's prize assets floated before his eyes within easy reach, and he found that he struggled not to reach out and touch, it was very alluring. Her own eyes travelled south, and she flushed as he responded to her attention. He started to apologise but she put a finger to her lips, so he stepped closer. David took her meaning that she was happy at his presence and took the chance to bend beside the bath and press his lips to caress hers; his tongue explored her soft mouth that opened to welcome him. His hand reached to fondle a breast, lifting and stroking underneath, then circling.

Their lips parted and his lips explored her face heading towards her neck then her arm lifted out of the water and the next thing he felt was a hot wet hand exploring him, exciting him to grow to fullness. He took the feeling as an invitation for more and he was desperate to fondle and lick both of her lovely breasts. David found her washcloth and began to wash every part gently, paying special attention to the zones that made her moan or sigh. "Turn over," he said after he had spent a long time making sure her breasts and vulva were carefully washed several times and special care equally given to her clitoris which he felt must need special washing. She turned reluctantly, enjoying what he had already been doing and needing more and he made it more frustrating as he washed her neck and then her back, running the cloth up and down her spine several times and then her sides. He moved on to wash her thighs again and then the perfect globes of her bottom, moving between her legs with an ever decreasing circling motion so that her valley and the gap between her legs was extra clean.

She moved into a sitting position and pulled him in to join her, reciprocating the washing as he reached to give extra attention to her breasts and leaned forward to lick and suckle her nipples when she allowed. She administered to his feet and then his legs as he sat back enjoying the sight of her and the gentle touch of her fingers. Then she washed his torso, turning him to scrub his back before asking him to stand. His manhood had flagged in the water but she knew how it could be and began to wash and tease between his cheeks, between his legs, his jewels and then finally dropping the cloth to feel and stroke his cock to full length before leaning forward to taste the clean slightly soapy tasting skin of his hardness. Her hands moved back and forth, a teasing smile on her face as she sensed his pleasure, and kissed it's head several times, each time opening her mouth a little wider so that eventually she sucked on him then rolled her tongue around and around the head, followed by several laps along his sensitive plane, he reacted at that sensation, his hips pushing forward and her mouth forced open to take his hardness inside.

His hand went to the back of her head as hers took hold of his buttocks and together they fucked orally before it became too much for him and he pulled back despite her hands pulling him back in. He escaped despite her need and stepped out of the bath, and then he sat her on the side of the bath. He took a towel and dried her off slowly making sure all her special parts were ready for his tongue. Then he kneeled before her and paid homage to her sex, her want for more attention had long since become a need as he swept his tongue the length of the gap between her legs started with a tease of her anus then along the valley to her labia where he licked and sucked on them before pushing his tongue in to sweep back and forth until he heard her moan.

It was time for his fingers to join the fun as they replaced his tongue and his mouth headed north to nibble and draw her clit from its hood, then as his fingers curled and began a movement in and out he licked in double time back and forth, around, and around. He looked up into her eyes seeing them hooded and her mouth forming an O as he did something that particularly delighted her, he sensed she was close and speeded up, changing from licking to sucking and nibbling as her back arched to the orgasm that coursed through her body. He moved up allowing his thumb to circle her clit so that he could kiss her through the climax. She slumped forward off the edge of the bath, and he caught her in his arms savouring the feel of her skin against his, the way her hard nipples grazed across his chest as he continued to rain kisses down her neck, and she sought to catch her breath.
