My assignment in Den Haag now being completed. I had handed back my rented apartment in Den Haag; enjoyed a cruise holiday in the Baltic with Knut, and moved to Southampton. Prior to taking up an assignment with a company that specialised in the management of clean-up operations for oil and chemical spill; but not starting for a further four weeks.
I was in my apartment outside Southampton when the phone rang. My Swedish friend Bjorn; on hearing that I was between assignments invited me out to Stockholm to joint him for their family Midsummer celebrations holiday; for a second year.
I flew out to Stockholm from Heathrow the following week. Bjorn was still working out of his law firm's offices in Stockholm. When I arrived he could not meet me as arranged, due to an overrunning meeting, but, had arranged for a car to meet me and take me to his sister Hanna's office. We had been more than friends for a few years along with her partner Suzi.
She now had her own business that they jointly ran; providing, personal security, Escorts and Advisors for the specialist businesses that her brother Bjorn worked for; providing international finance and taxation advice.
I had already learnt, "this is Sweden" and to expect the unexpected being the norm. Bjorn arrived from his office about an hour later; we were having coffee catching up on how life was treating us. Bjorn was one of those people who could read a situation in an instant and take it forward. He asked me if I would like to do some legal consultancy and Escort work for one of his clients in Guernsey for the next few week; through Hanna's company.
This was to be for a consortium of financiers representing a number of discreet and wealthy individuals, looking to invest in oil and gas platform and facility decommissioning and cleanup projects.
As always Bjorn left the interesting bit to the end, once he knew he had you hooked. All the members of the Consortium were gay; in fact you could not join or work for the Consortium unless you were.
This was not optional and the Consortium went to lengths to ensure that this was always the case; Hanna's company did the vetting. The pink Euro is now a major source of international finance and provides significant profit for those investors who participate.
Discretion and secrecy, for obvious reasons, were of paramount concern. I was to be assigned to one of Bjorn's friends. As I was Bjorn partner for a few years, attending similar high level functions I knew what this would entail; no details necessary. I agreed, don't know why but I did, another of life's adventures that need to be lived; maybe.
Hanna handed me a file, in it was a contract, very nice fee, expenses and profit share and separate secrecy agreement, all needing to be signed; which I did. I was then given the brief for the consortium; it was self-evident why the secrecy, given the names of investors, monies and projects involved. One project named the, Hollyrood project stage 2, got my particular attention. I was to meet my new friend at a very exclusive and private, nightclub Midsummer Party. Not a fancy dress one this time; which had been a lot of fun last time.
We all went together; I met my new friend, for which I was to be Escort, Assistant and Legal Advisor for. In public I was to refer to him as Sir Alistair, but privately as Al. He was not what I expected but a very down to earth person. We seemed to hit it off with each other from the outset, as though we had been close friends for years.
Apparently, when at Cambridge university as a student he had joined an amateur dramatics group and had performed Shakespeare's Hamlet (the Scottish play), at Stratford on Avon for a summer season at the end of his first year. Tomorrow and for the following two days we were to go through the brief and strategies for the Guernsey meeting the subsequent week. A lot of work but we got it done.
We arrived on the Sunday afternoon at Guernsey airport from Stockholm by private aircraft. We were met by a limousine and what can only be described as personal security. As arranged by Hanna. We were driven to an exclusive country house; with very visible security their too.
We were taken to our room, shown adjacent secure office facilities that we would use. The room was very plush with separate sitting and dining area, bedroom and dressing facility. Together with adjacent jacuzzi and sauna. Al suggested we have a sauna to shake off the journey. We got changed, toweled up and went in. Meantime our luggage was delivered and unpacked for us.
In the sauna Al came up behind me, I could feel his presence close to me; I then felt his finger run ever so slowly and gently down my back until it reached my towel. Turning slowly to face him as he reached down, unrolled my towel and removed it; he had already removed his. It is a very exhilarating and arousing thing to have done to you.
