Coral Haven [boyxboy]

Chapter 1: Jasper checking out at check in

Coral Haven Retreat was an island resort located just off the coast of Samoa in the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Part of the appeal for the resort was its remoteness and privacy - it was accessible only by catching a small ferry from the mainland. The resort was the only thing on the entire island. It was a literal slice of paradise with its turquoise water, beach bungalows and coconut palms. At this time of year it also had the perfect temperatures to match the surroundings.

The resort reception desk tonight was manned by Harrison, a local in his early twenties with a slim build and handsome face. He was working through a queue of new arrivals. The queue was slow moving, tonight especially so. Many in Samoa operate on 'island time' and no one more so than Harrison. Island time works well for the locals who are reasonably flexible and accommodating but sometimes it takes the guests a little while to adjust. Harrison was new to the job, having only been on the roster for a few weeks. His dark delicate hands, with every second nail painted black, moved slowly across the keyboard. Each time a guest had a question, Harrison would very politely and softly say 'let me check, I'll be right back' before popping into the back room. The couple at the front of the queue were getting increasingly exasperated at how long this was taking after a long day of travel. Luckily when Harrison returned with his latest answer he was escorted by Genevieve, the Operations & Guest Services Manager. Genevieve very quickly read their body language and gently asked Harrison to serve the next gentleman in the queue while she finished checking in the couple.

Without much else to do while he waited, Jasper had been observing the receptionist at the front desk for the last twenty minutes. In Australia, where he had just flown in from, a single staff member dealing with a large queue and this much pressure might have shown signs of panic or stress. On the contrary the receptionist was still speaking slowly and softly, his dark brown eyes fixed on the person he was talking with as if there was no one else in the room. Even though Jasper could tell he wasn't the most efficient, he still found the man somewhat endearing. And cute as hell with his curly ringlets framing up boyish good looks.

The couple moved aside to Genevieve's counter and Jasper stepped forward, his gaze darting from the receptionist's name badge to his eyes.

"Good evening Harrison, beautiful spot you have here" Jasper said without missing a beat. He meant it. He could hardly believe that the Coral Haven Retreat looked just like the glossy pictures he had seen when booking online.

Harrison's eyes lit up at the mention of his name and he smiled softly at the man in front of him. Jaspers muscular build was on display thanks to a tight fitting, black sleeveless shirt and flowing cream linen pants. Harrison processed the new arrival, focusing intently on the screen in front of him. Jaspers request to amend the booking slightly saw the receptionist leave the desk once again. He returned very quickly this time, giving Jasper an awkward smile before sliding over to Genevieve and whispering in her ear. A short moment later Genevieve wheeled over and gave Harrison a quick tutorial. Harrison eventually announced that Jasper was all checked in, wishing him a pleasant stay.

"Ah is there a key?" Jasper asked.

"Sorry, of course Mr Knightbridge" Harrison responded sheepishly, spinning around and reaching into the cabinet behind him. Jasper couldn't help but steal a glance at his ass as he turned. The tight pants of Harrison's uniform didn't leave too much to the imagination. He already knew that Harrison was blessed with a great ass.

"See you tomorrow sir" Harrison said, handing over the key.

"I hope so" Jasper responded cheekily. As he left, the reception area was now empty, Genevieve had cleared the rest of the long queue.
