Chapter 858 - B
“I need to go down there next week on another matter if you want to go with me and we could take the Latitude,” I offered. Tom and James looked unsure.
“Next week is a little full, but maybe we can work out some charters in a way we can hit Key West for a couple of hours anyway. I’ll let you know, Josh. Glad you told me though,” Tom replied. “Don’t you have school starting sometime soon?” Tom then asked, as he thought about the timing.
“Yes, the following week. I hate having to go again, but something has come up, non-aviation related, and I need to be there for it. Getting closer to getting the resort and hotel finished for one thing. Jasper is working on the remodeling off the Pink Flamingo also. So much going on, but it sure is driving up the value of your stock, I have to say. Even yours, Greyson, which you haven’t even received yet, but it’s still growing in value.
“What are we going to do with all the money we’re making, Josh? James and I don’t have time to spend anything and our bank accounts just keep growing. I don’t know how many CD’s I have already. We should be investing it in something, maybe buying more stock in the company, but we haven’t even had time to sit down and think about it,” Tom said. James said he’d been bugging Tom to figure something out. “You should have a shitload of money too by now. What do you do with yours?” Tom asked. I chuckled.
“Well, actually, I just found out what I was doing with mine just this week as a matter of fact. Cliff, our investment manager for company funds, was investing it for me and has done a damn good job of it also. I hate to tell you what my rate of return is, but it gave me a boner when he told me. I was thinking we need to put together an investment manager for at least the senior staff to do what Cliff has done for Jake and me. It would be well worth us all paying someone to manage the money we’ve accumulated as it would be a drop in the bucket to what they could make for us. Not only that, but Cliff has been able to get me a great rate of return on what he’s invested but keeps me liquid also in case I need it. I’ve been thinking about that ever since I talked to him this week. I’ll go to work on that and keep you informed,” I told them. They all thought that would be a great idea as none of us had time to spend any money and working the hours we did, the company covered almost all our living expenses.
“Good deal, Josh. Keep us informed. Hate to run guys, but we have to pick up some high-rollers in Chicago and run them to Vegas. These guys tip big too and pay high dollar for the trip. The crazy thing is, I think they mostly lose in Vegas, which is strange but then I think they mostly go out there to gamble, drink and do a little whoring around. James and I know nothing about that, which is why they tip well,” Tom said smiling. Greyson told them ‘good luck’. “Greyson, we left a list of things here we’d like for you to look into while you’re here. If you want to come back for the rest of the week, this place is yours so place yourself where you think you can do the most good. We have a couple of cars here you can drive if you’re staying at the ranch, so you’ve got wheels and planes to get around when you need them. We’ll be back in a couple of days, but then out again later for the weekend. Can’t seem to keep our feet on the ground,” Tom told him. Greyson said he understood completely, but he’d make sure things ran smoothly. “I love this guy, Josh. He’s just the perfect person for the job, I swear,” Tom told us, bragging on Greyson who smiled. “Just watch out for what Josh has going on out there at the ranch with that new Bunkhouse he’s putting together. Guess James and I will have to go try that out sometime when we’re in town. You might want to go with us, Josh,” Tom chided.
“Not sure. Kind of scares me in a way. Ashton is going to run the place so no telling what it’s going to be like, but I can almost guarantee you it will be fun,” I replied.
“Well, Rick and Felix can’t wait for it to open. I swear they’ll be your best customers, I have a feeling. But then, it’s free for them so why not?” Tom chided. James shook his head.
“That could be interesting, I have to say. Never knew anything like that existed. But, I guess it does. Whatever,” Greyson commented. We didn’t know whether to take that as an interest of disinterest. Greyson was still an unknown.
Just then, Mal came walking in and had to shake hands with everyone. “Just came to rescue this dude,” Mal said referring to me. “Guess he wants to check out that new den of iniquity he’s building on my ranch,” Mal chided. Greyson said that sounded more like what he thought it might be. “Oh well, whatever trips your trigger, I guess. I guess we’ll have to join forces, Greyson, and watch each other’s back to keep ourselves safe out there. A couple of good-looking guys like us might be in high demand and could get in trouble if we aren’t careful,” Mal teased. Greyson said that could surely happen if they weren’t careful. “So when are you moving into my neighborhood anyway?” Mal asked Greyson.
“I hope to soon, Mal. Why, you lonely out there or what?” Greyson asked teasingly.
“Hey, I wouldn’t mind some company, as right now, it’s just me and the steers and they aren’t a whole lot of company,” Mal chided.
“I thought you had a girlfriend that kept you company. At least that’s what I heard,” Greyson replied smiling. Mal rolled his eyes.
“I do, but one can only take so much of female companionship. Sometimes it’s more fun to just hang out with the bros, which is why we need to get you moved in out there. Oh, and when you get ready to move, I have a pickup truck I can run over to Uni and pick all your things up for you if that would help get your ass over here faster,” Mal offered to Greyson’s surprise.
“Wow, uh, okay. That would work or I could rent a U-Haul van or something as I really don’t have much. I could bring a little bit at a time in the 310 I guess, but eventually I have to get my car over here also. The boys will need the 310 in Uni for flight training and charters for the University. Let me think about that. I only have clothes and a few other things to bring so it won’t be much. We could figure out something, I guess. But thanks for the offer, Mal. It’s nice to know I have a friend here already. I’ve never really had a friend outside of work before, I guess mainly because I’m always working,” Greyson replied.
“Me too, but then we’ll have to cure each other of that. I’m sure we can sit by a campfire somewhere, drink beer and shoot the shit or whatever occasionally,” Mal suggested.
“Actually, that sounds pretty nice when you put it that way,” Greyson replied.
“Well, alrighty then. Gotta get your ass over here soon then so we can kick back and let loose a little as we teach each other how to do that,” Mal chided. Greyson got a kick out of that. “If you dudes don’t need the boss here any longer, I have things to show him, and I’ll get him out of your hair,” Mal offered. Tom, James and Greyson said that was fine with them. I told them adios and I’d let Greyson know when I was coming back as I intended to get back by beer-thirty as I had a full day tomorrow. I hugged all three guys, telling Tom and James to have a safe flight and to stay out of trouble in Vegas. They just laughed but assured me they would. I told Greyson to keep the Aviation department in good condition. He assured me he would.
Mal and I jumped in his pickup truck and took off. “Just what did you have to show me that was urgent?” I teasingly asked. Mal laughed.
“My bare ass. It’s in terrible need of your dick, in case you can’t remember,” he replied. I chuckled. “Guess we better get something to eat quick at the CNB then your dick is going to get reacquainted with my ass for sure, that is after you inspect the new Bunkhouse as your buddy Kyle is still over here going to town on that place. Guess we won’t be able to fuck in that facility this afternoon with all those guys in there. Oh, and some of them are pretty hot with their shirts off and sweat dripping from their nipples. I have to say it's a damn nice sight not that I noticed at all,” Mal chided. I chuckled.
“For a straight guy, you sure have changed a lot in a short period of time,” I commented. He chuckled.
“Damn, and I owe that all to you, Josh. I don’t know, but watching you fuck the cum right out of Will on Stoney’s desk that afternoon in his office, just made me crave that cock of yours thinking about my boyhood memories. The cravings were even worse the first time I felt your dick inside me. Damn, that was hot and has been ever since then. Now I’m hooked,” Mal replied. I shook my head.
“If I didn’t know better, I’d swear you were trying to seduce Greyson a few minutes ago. I’d say you definitely had an interest there,” I chided. Mal looked over at me and sheepishly grinned. “Thought so. Can’t wait to see if you succeed in your seduction strategy. I’d be interested in hearing how you pull that off, if you even can,” I added.
“That might be a stretch to make happen, but we’ll never know unless I try. We’ll get drunk sometime and go skinny dipping or something and just see if things happen,” Mal suggested.
