  He looked at Sadie and the lines around his mouth relaxed. He extended his arm to escort her. “There now was that so hard?”

  Sadie looked at Cameron like he had two heads. She didn’t know what to make of this man. She also knew she had to go back with him. Sadie would put what the women had said out of her mind, and try to get through dinner. From now on, she would read her invitations more carefully. She reached up and looped her arm through his and they walked back to the dining room in silence.

  ***

  Returning to the dining room, Cameron escorted her to her seat, just before Dimitri stood by his chair, his black tuxedo showing off his exquisite body. He hushed the band, and the rooms’ attention turned to him. “We would like to welcome you all aboard the maiden voyage of the Onyx. We would also like to thank each of you for showing your enthusiasm first with the idea of our exclusive cruise ship, and then for your participation.

  “I saw many of you making use of our unique equipment, while others just enjoyed their time in the sun. We have no idea how this venture is going to turn out, but for now, we are moving forward with plans for a West Coast port for our next ship. We are looking forward to when we can do this again on the West Coast.

  “I would like to introduce you to a few people you might not know. Please put your hands together for the man who piloted a ship through the Bermuda Triangle, and survived, Captain Joshua Miller.”

  The room surged with applause while the Captain rose and took his bow. “Next my friend and business partner, Master Cameron Alexander.” Cameron rose, and the applause continued as he waved to the guests taking his bow. “To my right is Master Nicholas Montana, Head of Security; we cannot stress the importance of safety and security for every person on this ship. His office is on the Harem Deck should you need him or have any other concerns. Across from him is Caleb, second in command to Nicolas. All of you should have met Caleb already, he processed all of you on board. Caleb take a bow.”

  “Caleb is also our computer IT person. Please direct all computer issues to him. He will also be the person to process any voting done for ship games. We will let you know the winners of today’s contests after dinner. Each winner will be able to choose a prize from ‘Kink Haven’—our toys and apparel store on the Bondage Deck. Ask for Raven or Skylar.

  “Finally, I’d like to present a new-comer to our community. You will be able to hear her every night as Penny in the Burlesque Erotica at the Onyx Theater, please give a warm welcome to Ms. Sadie Sommers.”

  Cameron’s hand brushed against Sadie’s back as he held her chair. She rose from her chair smiling, giving a wave to her left and then to her right. She caught a glimpse of the women she had heard talking about her earlier, and made it a point to wave right at them before she sat.

  Dimitri, still standing, said, “So, please sit back and enjoy this specially prepared dinner, while you listen to The Onyx Theater Band. We have a fully trained staff so if you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask them, most of them will be happy to service you!”

  Someone from the behind Dimitri shouted, “Does that include blow jobs too?” The room laughed at the question.

  “I suppose it does. We do have a first class staff of subs, however,” Dimitri paused dramatically, “For tonight only, and for good charities, there will be a price for that blow job.” Dimitri smiled at the man. “I’m sure you’ve all heard about the Crew Member Auction, I hope you will all join us right after tonight’s performance. Now, enjoy.” Dimitri sat and the waiters dressed in nothing but leather pants and bow ties, began carrying out the first course, while waitresses in French maid outfits began serving.

  Conversation around the table rumbled in Sadie’s ears. She was smiling but not really hearing. Now that the introductions had been made, she could only focus on the man beside her. Cameron sat to her left, and she could feel the heat from his body as she tried to pay attention to what Madison had been saying.

  He leaned back to place his napkin in his lap, as a salad was placed in front of him, then Sadie. Sadie followed suit and began cutting her salad. As she was placing the first forkful in her mouth, she almost choked when she felt Cameron’s fingers graze her thigh through the slit on her dress trailing its way slowly down her leg scraping his nail along, his hand coming to rest on her knee. He then began to pull her leg, so that she was wide open. Sadie tried to hold her leg in place but it was no use, he was determined.

  Cameron leaned into her ear, “I allowed you to run before without punishment, but if you do not leave your leg where I have placed it, angel, I will make sure the punishment fits the crime.”

  Sadie moved, looking into his deep brown eyes, trying to see if he was serious. “You are new to this, so I will allow some leeway, but don’t think I’m not keeping track of your transgressions.” She went to move her leg back, but Cameron held fast, “If you don’t leave it, I will bind you to my bed with your legs spread open for my pleasure, till we get to port. Am I making myself clear?”

  Sadie immediately opened her legs to Cameron, and he gave her a satisfied smiled, then placed his warm hand high on her leg, with his fingers brushing her mound. Sadie wanted to move away, she didn’t want Cameron to know her panties were already wet. She was still trying to concentrate on what was being said around her, but all of her attention was drawn to his hand and how it was making small swirling motions moving closer to the apex between her legs. Just when Sadie thought Cameron was going to touch her, he moved his hand from her leg and went back to eating.

  Sadie, reached for her glass of water with a shaking hand. The water soothed her dry throat. She glanced at Cameron and saw he was listening to what Captain Joshua was saying in reference to the storm. She turned to the rest of the table and watched how they interacted with each other. Sadie could tell these people cared for each other and deep down she wanted to be a part of it. She just didn’t know how. She wished someone had taught her how to interact with other social classes.

  She looked around the room at how some of the other couples were interacting with each other. At a table near the band, she watched as a woman sat in a hunter green gown, the neck of the gown clasped tightly around her neck giving her a regal look. At her feet kneeled a tuxedo-clad sub with his head resting against her lap, while she ran her fingers soothingly through his hair.

  When their main course was served, she leaned forward and whispered in his ear, Sadie watched as the man rose and sat in the chair next to her. He placed his napkin in his lap then turned to his Mistress ready to serve her anyway he could. Sadie looked at his face, she thought she would see shame; instead what she saw was a brilliant smile on his face. His eyes glowed with love for his Mistress.

  Sadie’s gaze moved to the other end of the room where a sub in a white Donna Karen one-shoulder gown was sitting on her Dom’s lap as he fed her dinner. Again, just looking at them, Sadie knew these people had something she had only dreamt about, but seeing that it was possible gave her hope.

  Sadie turned her attention back towards the table, and the man sitting next to her. She had done to him exactly what people did to her, she judged him on his looks. Looking past the tattoos and piercings, Cameron had an air of authority about him, but Sadie didn’t feel intimidated by him. She felt kind of safe. Throughout the entire meal, Cameron had touched her in some way. She had also kept her legs in the position Cameron had placed them in at the beginning of dinner. She had done it to please him, not because he had threatened her. Sadie kept reminding herself that this was her boss; she could not let anything happen with him, she needed to focus on the upcoming show.

  Sadie was pulled from her thoughts as once again Dimitri stood to speak to the room. “I hope you’re enjoying yourselves so far. I’ve been told the chef has prepared a special desert to commemorate our first night at sea.” As Dimitri was talking, two waiters were wheeling a covered table towards him, with Master Chef Isaac following behind. They stopped right in front of Dimitri. Chef Isaac came around and stood in
front of the covered table.

  Chef Isaac looked at Dimitri and then Cameron. “I was going to make a cake with a boat on it, then I was going to do a chocolate fountain with fruits, then another thought hit me, maybe cupcakes on a tower. But each of these didn’t feel special enough on their own, then it came to me, I would make them all. So I did.” With that said, the waiters began removing the cover.

  As the cloth was removed it revealed two of the most sensual looking women Sadie had ever seen. Both women were naked, placed with their heads to opposite ends of the table. Their bodies were covered in all of the desserts Chef Isaac had just described, only bite-sized. With chocolate drizzled all over them and the desserts, neither of the women moving, they were like mannequins.

  Chef Isaac looked at Dimitri and Cameron. “I hope you enjoy it, but not as much as I am going to enjoy them when we are finished,” he said smiling at them. “Please, join me in the first tastes.” Dimitri and Cameron stepped off the dais and went to the table. Chef Isaac leaned over the woman in front of him, licking some chocolate syrup, and then covering the chocolate covered strawberry on her right breast sucking her breast as he took the fruit in his mouth.

  Dimitri was next, he locked his gaze with Madison, her eyes following him as he leaned in and licked a piece of cake from above the woman’s belly button, then stuck his tongue in and cleaned the syrup out. He stood with a knowing smile towards her.

  Cameron walked around inspecting the desserts, when he got to the end of the table he stopped. Looking at the woman lying with one of her legs straight out displaying desserts along it, desserts also ran along her other leg in a bent position leaving her open on display, syrup dripping down between her slit. He watched Sadie from where he was, his eyes never leaving hers as he bent over and took the miniature cupcake balanced right on top of her shaved pussy. Knowing she was watching him, he stood licking his lips.

  He turned to Chef Isaac. “You could not have picked a more amazing display for these tasteful desserts. You have out done yourself, Isaac.”

  Dimitri shook Isaac’s hand. “I couldn’t agree more.” He said to the room, “I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.” The room gave Chef Isaac a standing ovation for his unique presentation. When the room quieted, Cameron and Dimitri returned to their seats, and the waiters began moving the table around for the passengers to enjoy.

  Cameron sat back in his chair and reached his hand under the table stroking up Sadie’s leg again, turning his head a knowing smile on his face. She had pleased him; she was exposed for his touch in the position he had put her in.

  He had a look of satisfaction; and Sadie wasn’t sure if it was because of her, or if it was due to his chocolate dessert. Watching his tongue lick the small cake off the model had sent butterflies to her stomach. Sadie was so drawn to this man, she wanted to please him, but she just didn’t know if she could. Memories of Ryan flashed through her mind.

  Cameron watched color drain from Sadie’s face and he squeezed her leg to draw her attention back to him. “What’s wrong?”

  Sadie blinked her attention back to him, she was about to lie and say nothing when, their attention was once again turned to Dimitri, as he tapped his glass.

  Dimitri stood, gaining the room’s attention one more time. “Now, for what you’ve have all been waiting for, whose fantasy will be added to the end of tonight’s performance?”

  Dimitri turned. “Caleb, can I please have the envelope?” Caleb handed it to him and he opened it, reading the name written. He looked up glancing around the room his eyes trying to locate the lucky winner. Dimitri’s eyes locked with Tyler Bowman.

  Tyler was an independent pilot many people in the room had hired at one time or another. His submissive Raven had contracted with the ship and ran the specialty store, so while Raven was working; Tyler was taking a much-needed vacation.

  “Congratulation to Tyler Bowman, he is the first of hopefully many to come. Tyler’s fantasy is to ‘get caught in the act.’ Now, I would like to introduce you all to Isabella,” he said, searching the room for her. Isabella made her way over to Dimitri wearing the French maid outfit.

  She stood by him, her hands behind her back, her legs were spread shoulder length apart, and her head was tilted down while Dimitri explained how the fantasy would work. “Isabella will be working with all participants; she is a talented actress as well as a trained submissive. It will be Isabella’s decision how she will be involved in the fantasy. No questions, she has final say.” Dimitri wanted everyone to understand that it would be up to Isabella how she participated in the scene.

  “She will meet with everyone involved while the performance is going on, to explain how the scene will work. But nothing will actually happen until the scene is moved to the stage for everyone to enjoy. I hope to see you all later at the auction. Ten pm for those of you not attending the show, until then, enjoy all the amenities the ship has to offer.” Everyone again applauded. He held his hand up to quiet them.

  “One more thing before you all leave. I’m sure you all noticed the red wristbands in your cabins.” Dimitri paused, looking around the room, “I would like to take the time to remind you all; anyone wearing a red wristband is a hard limit. I expect you all to respect the safe guards we have put in place.”

  The color had returned to Sadie’s face, and she knew she needed get away from Cameron before he demanded an answer. She knew she couldn’t just leave, but if she had to go get ready, he would have to let her go. With that thought, she turned to Cameron his hand still remained possessively on her leg, “Sir, may I leave to go prepare for my performance?”

  “You go nowhere till you answer my question, what was wrong?” If she thought he had forgotten, she was terribly mistaken, and he needed to know what had caused it.

  Earlier, he had asked her for his trust, she got the strong impression that he wasn’t going to let up, and deep down knew if she couldn’t be with him, at least they could be friends, and friends don’t lie to each other. Sadie leaned in towards Cameron. “It’s a long story, it’s not something I like to talk about, but if we’re going to be friends, I will trust you but it has to be later.”

  Cameron growled in her ear, “You get a reprieve for now, but we will continue this conversation later.” If she thought they were just going to be friends he was doing something wrong, but now was not the time to correct her.

  Cameron stood to hold Sadie’s chair. “I look forward to hearing your beautiful voice tonight. Have a good show, angel. I will see you after.” He glided his hand down her arm to her waist, pulling her to him. “I have plans for us for later, but don’t forget, Sadie, we will talk.” He moved away from her saying, “I’ll meet you after the auction.”

  Anticipation ran through Sadie. How she wanted to be with this man. She knew she could fall for Cameron and fall hard. She also knew the hurt that fall could cause. What she didn’t know was after she told him her story, would he look at her differently?

  She also knew she had to tell him that nothing could happen between them while she worked for him, but right now, she had to come back to Earth and get ready to hit the stage. As for the auction, she could only hope that someone would at least bid on her. She didn’t think her self-esteem could take another hit.

  Chapter Six

  Sadie sat at the vanity table backstage removing her make-up. The show had been a huge hit; she had lost count of the curtain calls for her performance. Gabriel had hugged her so hard her ribs felt bruised.

  Sitting on one side of her vanity was a single red rose, with the note saying, “The beauty of this rose cannot compare to your beautiful voice. Congratulations, on a successful beginning. Cameron.” On the other side sat a vase containing thirteen purple, pink, and coral roses. The card on those read, “I knew your voice would take you places. See you at the auction. Your Secret Admirer.”

  Sadie had an uneasy feeling reading the card, most people would feel special having a secret admirer, but the way the card was written i
t made Sadie wonder if she should drop out of the auction?

  Sadie was still trying to make up her mind about the auction when both Madison and Isabella glided over to her dramatically. “Oh, Ms. Sommers can we have your autograph?” Laughing as they asked holding out a napkin and pen.

  “Cut it out, you guys,” Sadie said, looking at them in the mirror. “Do you know if they posted the auction list yet?” Anyone who had volunteered for the auction had until the list was posted on the computer to back out. Once the list was posted, there was no changing it.

  “Yeah, it was. I saw Caleb hand it to Gabriel as we were coming to get you. Having second thoughts?” Isabella asked.

  “I was thinking about it but since the list is up, I guess I have to,” Sadie said, sounding defeated.

  Madison looked at the roses on the vanity. “Who are the roses from? They’re beautiful.” She leaned over smelling then.

  “Thank you, the red one is from Cameron, and the vase is from a secret admirer, and before you ask, I have no idea who it could be.”

  “You never know, they might bid on you at the auction, but after your performance tonight, I bet a lot of people will bid on you. So, you still might not know who they are from,” Madison said, grabbing Sadie’s blush brush to touch up her make-up.

  Sadie stood up from the vanity table wearing a skirt and a peasant blouse. She let her hair fall about her shoulders and she wore only mascara and lipstick. Isabella and Madison both wore robes; they looked at Sadie and then at each other with confused looks on their faces. “What are you wearing?” Madison asked her.

  Sadie looked down at her outfit. “Why what’s wrong with what I have on?”
