Mike blinked. His cock was still coated with Claire’s fluids and he glanced over his shoulder to see her clutching her hands tightly together, almost as if she were about to pray.
“That would be great,” he said gratefully. He hoped that getting out of the cabin and getting some breathing room between them and the intense sex that they had shared might give them both a little much-needed perspective.
The man left and Claire looked at him. Her face was flushed and she asked, “Any regrets?”
She was afraid he might have some! He knew her well enough to know that she was frightened and he crossed the floor and took her face into his hands, cupping them around her jaw. “None,” he said fervently. “None at all. You?”
She shook her head. Her long silky hair flew across his fingers and she said, “No but I am a little scared. I mean we have both always known, I guess, that this is not something most people are going to accept.”
“Do you think so?” OF course she did. He did too. He added, firmly, “I don’t really care what people think. I mean neither of us want go home after college. We both got offered jobs out in Manhattan and that is a long way from here. Nobody will know us and so what if they do? We are not related by blood, only marriage, and if that bothers some people that is their problem, not ours.”
She smiled at him. “You are an eternal optimist. I think that is one of the things I love most about you.”
He kissed her, a long slow lingering kiss and said, “Dinner starts in half an hour. Do you want the shower first?”
Her impish grin almost stopped his heart. “Why don’t we shower together?”
He chuckled, “You’re on.”
He gave her ass a playful swat as she headed for the bathroom and she shrieked and ran, her laughter trailing behind her.
Mike joined her in the shower and they lingered a little longer than they thought they might. The shower was tall and wide. The soap was slippery and the water was hot. His cock swelled as soon as she took him in hand to clean him and before long she had her back pressed against the wall, her legs wrapped around his waist and he held her tightly as she rode his cock in a long slow fuck that left them both almost breathless and ready to say screw it to dinner. They might have if it had not been such a personal and kind invitation but since it had been they got dried, dressed and headed out to the dining room.
Claire’s body was sated and now she became aware of just how hungry she was. The Captain’s table held Natasha and a devastatingly handsome man that she introduced simply as the Captain. Claire did not miss the looks that the two gave each other. It was obvious that they were lovers.
The other couple was older and they sat close together. Soon they were all engage din chatter and Claire asked the woman, who had introduced herself as Lisa how she was enjoying the cruise. “I love it, thank you. And you?”
“I am having a great time.” It was true. She looked at Mike when she spoke and he colored slightly and looked away, choking on laughter.
“Did you two come on together too?” Lisa asked.
Claire nodded, “yes, and you?”
“We did.”
“Claire shot a look at the woman’s bare fingers. Lisa caught the look and grinned. “We are not married. We fell out of touch for a long time and we just got back in touch and we decided to come on the Nyx to reconnect.”
“Oh, I see. I am glad you got back in touch with each other.”
Lisa looked over and smiled, “I wish we had never lost touch in the first place.’
Intrigued Claire asked, “How did you meet in the first place?”
Lisa began to chuckle. “Oh, our parents introduced us. Around the time we were both thirteen. Our parents were married at one time but they are divorced now.”
Claire lost her breath. Her eyes went to Natasha who nodded and raised her wineglass, sipping slowly at the white wine it contained. She had known! What was more she had known that she and Mike…her eyes went to Mike. He looked equally stunned. Lisa leaned forward and said, “It was a shame to miss out on each other for so long so we are determined not to let go now.”
Very carefully she asked, “Aren’t you worried about what people are going to say?” She had not been, not when the heat of passion had overtaken her but now…now she was a little concerned. She hated to admit that, even to herself but she had to.
Lisa said, “No. You get to a certain point in your life when you realize that the only thing that really matters is being happy.”
Mike squeezed her hand. Claire looked at him. His eyes held a question and she smiled at him, hoping that she could convey how she felt with that simple gesture.
After dinner, they headed out on the decks. The wind whipped at their hair and clothes and she had to hold her skirt down to keep it from flying up. They walked in silence until Mike reached out and took her hand, halting her as they reached a slight ell where the wind was not so bad.
His eyes searched hers. “Are you okay?”
“Yes but I think that damn concierge set us up.”
“I should have told you earlier what this cruise really is. I mean it is a cruise, obviously, since we are out here floating around on a boat on the ocean. See this cruise is different. It’s for people looking to live out their fantasies, or find the dream of a lifetime.”
“I don’t understand.”
“I brought you here to tell you that I love you and when I told Natasha what I was going to d she said she would do everything in her power to help me, as long as you were willing.”
“I am willing. I have always loved and wanted you but before it was just a fantasy. How are we going to live Mike? I mean I know you said you don’t care and maybe you don’t. Maybe nobody will care but what if they do?”
“Are you worried about our folks?”
“Yes.”
“I am worried about them too but I do not see how they can be mad at us. They raised us to love each other.”
Her lips twitched. His did too, Soon they were holding each other up as they laughed almost hysterically. Mike gasped out, “Okay, maybe not like this but come on, I mean how could they be angry? If they are, well, they are. They will still love us even if they are pissed. I mean you know our folks and they have never believed in disowning kids or treating them like lepers just because they chose something different.”
“Yes, but that was when they were discussing someone else’s kids.”
“That is true but I think it will be okay.”
"And if it isn’t?”
“I still would not give you up, not even for them Claire. You are all I ever wanted. If you wanted to call it off because they did not approve I would be hurt but I would understand, in case you are wondering, and I would not be angry at you. But I hope you don’t because I think we have something very special and I think we should try to keep it.”
“I am so glad you said that. If they do not approve they will have to either live with it or live without us. I agree with you, this is ours, not theirs. I mean when they met we were kids and they told us that it was their choice to love who they wanted to, remember? Why can’t we tell them the same thing? They always said they loved us above everything but that they had the right to love whoever they wanted to love and they were right. They had that right but so do we.”
Mike gathered her into his arms, his hands stroking her hair. “Yes, we do.”
She said, “You did not tell me you had a job offer in Manhattan.”
“I was going to tell you tonight. It just kind of slipped out.”
“In the firm I applied to?”
His grin grew huge. “Nope, in the firm that is your firm’s competitor.”
“Oh God. This should be fun. I will be sleeping with the enemy.”
He roared laughter. “I can only hope I do not fall asleep whispering company secrets after serious sex.”
She twisted one of his nipples. He howled laughter and swatted at her hand. Soon they were wrestling like they had when they were c
hildren and when they stopped they were breathing hard, their eyes wide with desire.
“You are going to think I am a nympho,” she said as her fingers went to the zipper of his slacks.
“If you are so I am too.” His fingers stripped off her panties and he wadded them and threw them over the side.
His fingers went to her wet pussy. Her hips arched upward and her mouth met his in a long slow kiss.
***
The cruise was over. Claire snapped her suitcase shut and said, “Well, I guess it is D-Day. We have to tell them Mike.”
“I know and I think we should do it together.”
“I agree. I think we should.”
“What are we going to if they freak out?”
“You mean like we freaked out when they said they were getting married?”
“Right, like that.” She hugged him, hard and he hugged her back. The uniformed man came back in to take their bags and they started toward the gangway and the parking lot beyond.
Their fingers intertwined and they looked at each other and smiled, both of them feeling hopeful and happier than they had felt in a very long time.
As they got in the car Claire said, “We have to do something about where we live.”
“We head to New York next month.”
“Are you suggesting I wait a month to be with you again?”
Mike began to laugh. “Not at all. I think we have both waited long enough.”
“I totally agree,” she said with a smile. “In fact I could not agree more.”
