This story is a story about a widow and a widower, who meet on a cruise ship and fall deeply in love. But what they don’t show on those mushy movies, that always end in a kiss, is the sexual journey two new lovers always take, as well.
****************************************************************************************************
Chapter 1
“This is going to be so much fun this week. Just think of all the hot guys that might be on the ship. And where there is hot guys, hot sex is sure to follow” Gina told her best fried Heather as they sat on the plane, awaiting take off to Miami, then be taken to their Fun and Sun cruise ship that is taking in the Eastern Caribbean for 8 days and 7 nights.
“Oh My God Gina! Is that all you think about is sex?” Heather asked. “Christ. I forgot what sex is, let alone, think about it too much.”
“Oh Sweetie, it is time you start getting back into the game. You need a man in your life, even if it is for just 7 days. I know Peter was your everything, but he is gone now and I doubt highly that he would want you living the life of an old maid. You are beautiful, and I may say, extremely sexy, and any man would want you in his life and bed too.” Gina said.
“I know Gina, I know. But it is still hard for me to think of myself as being with anyone, but Peter. But, I did say I would join you on this adventure and have fun, so her I am. Just let me do this my way, please.” she said with pleading eyes.
Gina, who is 28, single and never one to be tied into a full blown relationship. She is an Italian spitfire, that stands 5’5, with a deep, dark tan, all over actually. She is trim and has enhanced her C cup breast to D cup now. Since she works out a lot, her legs are very toned as is her butt and belly. She loves to dress sexy, especially if she is going clubbing. Any of the men she dates are just friends, whom, if they treat here right, become friends with the benefits of great sex. She is highly sexual, and knows how to please a man, in many many ways. She has even had a few bisexual experiences, since her high school years.
Now Heather is 28, and a widow. She stands 5’8, has shoulder length strawberry blond hair, that turns more red in the winter months. She has natural B cup breasts, and as many men have stated, killer legs and ass, and she too keeps in shape, working out 4 times a week. She started doing that, when she was first married to Peter. Since she is more modest than her best friend, she always wears a bathing suit, of some sort, when tanning.
Heather had met Peter, in her final year of college. She and a bunch of her friends, which included Gina, went to this pub, that was near the Quantico Marine base in Virginia. When she saw Peter that night, it was love at first sight for both of them. A year after they met, they were married. Peter was a good and honest man, who was a platoon leader in the Marines. He was a career Marine, who at 29, already had 11 years in the service. He loved what he did, even though sometimes it put his life in jeopardy.
Their marriage was a strong one, and when he wasn’t deployed somewhere, he doted over Heather, every chance he got. But he did have one misstep once. He was on a short furlough to Greece and got drunk one night and woke up the next morning to a beautiful local woman. Both were naked, but he couldn’t remember a thing. When he got back home, he immediately told Heather about it and was so sorry. Yes, she was hurt, but he was gone 6 months by that time and she knew how highly sexual he was and forgave him.
Since then, any time he was deployed, then come home, no one would see them for at least a week. They never answered the phone, nor ventured out of the house they rented. They just stayed naked and had sex the whole time, except for bathroom breaks, showers and eating. Both Heather and her husband loved sex and always communicated what they liked and disliked, which was very few things.
They even had a few of threesomes with Gina over the years. That came about because Heather told Peter about she and Gina being lovers, while in college, a few times. Peter, being a man, said he would love to see that happen between the two ladies. So Heather set it up. She was sure of their deep love for one another, that it would not damage their relationship, if anything, only enhance it, and she was right.
Then, 3 1/2 years ago, Heather was home after a long day at work, and heard the doorbell. When she opened the door, there stood a Chaplin and an officer. They came in and informed her that her husband of three years had been killed in action, in Afghanistan. This was something that all spouses of military personal feared most, when they were deployed.
For months, she went through the motions of everyday life. She quit working out, which was a big thing for her and Peter to do together. Her eating habits sucked, as she lost at least 10 pounds, and she didn’t socialize with anyone. Gina though, was always with her, trying her best to lift her spirits, but even she was not succeeding too well.
But over time, Heather began to come back to her old self, in many respects, except when it came to dating. She did not think she was ready for that, nor could anyone come close to replacing Peter and the devoted love she had for him. Gina tried on many occasions, this past year, to set her up on dates, but Heather always said no. But then 5 months ago, they both were watching a Travel Channel show on cruises, and the fun they looked like they were having on it, and somehow Gina talked her into going with her. Gina wasted no time in setting up this adventure. She didn’t care if Heather got laid or not, just getting her out there again and mingling, would be a victory in itself, and if she did let down her guard and got laid, then that was a bonus. So here they are now, sitting on the plane, ready to start an adventure, and maybe, just maybe, put Heather back into the world of love, laughter, and fun.
It was just before the plane door was to be closed, when a man came through. He was a good looking man and Gina noticed him right off. She grabbed Heathers knee, to get attention. The man stood next to the girls as he placed his one bag in the overhead bin. When he looked down, he saw Heather looking at him. He just stared into her gorgeous green eyes and smiled, then said he was sorry for the interruption of their conversation. He then took a seat, two rows in front of them.
“Oh My God. He is so cute. He could lay in my bed anytime he wants too. Did you see his blue eyes?” Gina asked Heather.
Heather did notice his smoldering blue eyes, and actually felt a tingle when she looked up into his eyes and his disarming smile. But she did not say anything to Gina, since it would only entice her more to say things about him. For all they knew, he was on his way to Miami for a business trip or visiting relatives. Plus, she didn’t believe in fate striking twice in her life. She had her dream man, but now that dream was tragically taken away from her.
Gina leaned over and whispered, “If he looks good clothed, just think what he looks like naked, and a huge plus if he is hung nicely and knows how to use it.” Gina said, to which Heather just shook her head.
Chapter 2
As they debarked from the plane and headed down to the baggage area, Gina and Heather walked behind their mystery man. Gina was in heaven viewing his ass, or as she just said, “gorgeous ass” Unlike most men, she said, his ass wasn’t flat, and something you could hold on too, while your legs are wrapped around him, as he was fucking you senseless. Heather just shook her head then told her, he wasn’t a piece of meat, but did agree, he did have a nice ass. The girls then lost track of him, after getting their luggage and finding the bus that would take them to the ship.
After getting their boarding passes and room assignment, the girls headed onto the ship, and went to find their room. Once they got to their room, they went inside and were surprised by the size of it. They had been upgraded three different times, since they first booked it. They now had an Ocean Side room, that had a balcony. It also had a queen size bed, which the girls did not really mind. They had slept together many times in college, which sometimes led to some fabulous sex, sex that Heather had been denying herself since Peter’s death.
Gina, who was now ready for a walk on the upper deck, wanted some ice and left the room to find a Porter. On her way back, she spotted him, walking down the hallway, towards their room. Her breath was short when she saw how really good looking he was. “Damn. I’d give anything for a night with him” she thought. She was just about to open her door, when she saw him stop at the door next to theirs. “Oh Shit. This is fate or luck” she thought. The man smiled at her, as he then inserted the key card into the lock. Then Gina, not known for any filters said, “Well hi there neighbor. I’m Gina?” and held out her hand.
The man turned to her and smiled briefly and said, “Hello. I’m Ethan” and shook her hand.
“Nice to meet you Ethan. My Best Friend Heather and I are on a vacation. Not to be nosey, but are you alone?” Gina asked.
“Yeah. It’s a long story, but yes, I am traveling alone.” Ethan said with a somber look on his face.
“Oh Ok.. Where are you from? We are from King of Prussia.” she responded.
“Oh.. I’m over by Valley Forge. Small world I guess” he said.
“Well then neighbor, if you want to hang with us later, feel free.” Gina offered, then smiled brightly at him, as she watched him enter his room and the door closed.
Once back in their room, Gina was busting to tell Heather, who just finished changing into some light blue shorts, and a pink pull over top, that scooped down in the front, just enough to show off some of her cleavage.
“Guess who I just ran into outside?” Gina said with a smirk on her face. Heather gave up, and Gina said, “The hunk from our plane trip. You know the one with the bright blue eyes and gorgeous ass.”
“No way” Heather said, as the tingle returned. “His name is Ethan, and you know the best part? He isn’t with anyone” Gina said.
“Wait. Mr. Hunk is by himself? There’s a story to be told somewhere with that. What man comes on a cruise, especially who looks like that, alone?” Heather asked.
“I don’t know, nor do I care. But if he is single, and wants to mingle, I’m all for that. Unless.. You have eyes for him, like you did on the plane.” Gina said in a joking fashion.
“I didn’t have eyes for him. He is cute, yes, but I didn’t make any ga ga eyes for him.” Heather said.
“Calm down there sister. I was just joking. But even if I wasn’t, you and he would make a cute couple. Oh and one other thing, he lives by Valley Forge, so he is close to us. But from a first impression standpoint, he is not the type I would go out with. Granted he is cute, and he would probably rock my world in bed, he also looks like the type that wants a relationship, and you know my philosophy on that subject. No man will ever hurt me ever again. Once is enough.” Gina explained
“But Honey, this week is for you and if that guy can, and is what I think he is, then you two are destined to be together. It’s fate, I’m telling you.”Gina said a little to boldly.
“Ha… Fate. That’s just bullshit and you know it. I’ll try and keep an open mind with this.” Heather said, trying to appease her best friend.
Next door, Ethan was hanging up his clothes, which included a suit, since it is required for dinner on two occasions. He had to laugh, thinking of Gina. Gina reminded him so much of his sisters girlfriend Gail. Very outgoing, and the type that can talk to damn near anyone, something he has never really been able to do. They even dated once about a year and a half ago. That is, until Sarah and Gail figured out that they were into each other more than men.
Ethan did feel a little weird about being onboard with no one. That wasn’t the original plan, no, the original plan was something his sister Sarah set up. She and her best friend Gail, were supposed to be on this trip as well. But Gail contracted measles 3 days before they were to depart. Since Sarah never had them, and the girls live together, and share the same bed, they could not risk coming, if she too were contagious. Sarah really had to talk him into going anyways. She didn't want him to lose the money they spent for the trip. It was bad enough they were losing the money. But, one thing Sarah forgot to tell Ethan about, was the insurance she took out, in case something like this did happen. Had she told him, he would have just lost the money and stayed home.
Ethan is a good looking guy. 30 years old, 6’, 180 lbs, with blond hair and blue eyes. He likes to work out at least three times a week, and owns his own software company that specializes in home security. And like Heather, he lost the love of his life almost four years ago, to cancer. He and Tammy dated five years and were married a little more than 3 years, before the sickness to her from him, To Ethan, the sun rose and set with Tammy. She was beautiful, outgoing, and mostly the girl next door type, except in the bedroom, where she could be the complete lover, where sex was so good and she could go many times and love every second of it. She loved trying new ways and places and never said no to anything.
For Ethan now, anyone he goes out with, which is far and few between, has a standard they have to live up too. He does date on occasion, and Sarah is forever trying to set him up with one of her friends. He knows this is unfair, since no one will ever replace Tammy. He agreed to this vacation because his sister kept badgering him to go because he works so much. That part was so true. 10 to 12 hour days were the norm for Ethan now, since his wife’s passing. For him, it was an escape from the loneliness he felt in his life and in his heart.
Chapter 3
After a nap, Ethan showered and made ready for dinner. He opted for a pair of dark slacks, a light blue shirt and a dark blue sport coat. They, his sister Sarah, Gail, and Ethan opted for the late dinner, which was at 7pm nightly. So after a walk around the Lido deck, he entered the dining hall and handed the head waiter his card, to be seated. He knew that on many cruises you are placed with others for dinner, but the table he was shown too only had 4 chairs, in which 2 of them should have been occupied by Sarah and Gail. To Ethan it wasn’t a real big thing, since he travels for business and eating alone is a common occurrence.
About five minutes later, in walked Gina and Heather. Gina was wearing a mini skirt, blue in color and showed off her very tan legs, and had on a maroon top that really didn’t leave much to the imagination, showing a great deal of cleavage. Ethan even chuckled to himself, thinking how alike Gail and Gina were. Then he thought that maybe the other woman, Heather, could be like his sister and Gail, and into girls. Heather was right behind Gina, but wore a very fashionable summer dress that came to her knees. It was mostly white, but had a flower pattern all over it. To Ethan, she looked gorgeous, and more his style.
As the waiter brought them over to the table next to Ethan, he stared into Heathers lovely green eyes. “Damn she is gorgeous” he thought.
Gina and Heather noticed Ethan sitting alone, so Gina being the bold one, went up to the head waiter and asked if Ethan’s table had other guest he would be dining with. On a cruise, they try and set you up with others that have similar interests and age. When the waiter said that the other two guests that were to be at that table, were not on the cruise, they just did not fill the table. Gina asked if she and her friend could be seated with him, and the waiter agreed.
Gina then walked up to Ethan and asked, “ Hi neighbor, would you mind if Heather and I join you dinner. No sense eating alone.” she said with a big smile on her face.
“I guess it would be fine. You may want to ask the waiter first.” he said, not knowing she had already done that.
She chuckled and said, “Took the liberty to ask first. I didn’t think they’d be to uptight about it.”
She then waved for Heather to come over. Heather just rolled her eyes, but came anyway. After they seated themselves across from Ethan, Gina made the introductions for the two. Heather shook Ethan’s hand and felt a tingle as he firmly, but nicely gripped her hand and said it was a pleasure meeting her. He too, felt something when he took her hand and also looked into her eyes. “God. I love those eyes” he thought.
Throughout the meal, the three found out about each other. Gina, the most talkative, made sure there was plenty of conversation. The girls found out that Ethan had his own software company, and they each told him their occupations. Gina worked for a brokerage house in Philly, while Heather was lead web designer for a Marketing firm close to King of Prussia. Ethan thought that was cool, since he too was into computers and things related to it.
Gina, ever the nosey one had asked Ethan why he was dining alone. Ethan felt a bit embarrassed at first, then went on to tell them about his sister and her friend contracting the measles, and the doctors would not allow them to come on this trip, with the chance of infecting others, onboard. Heather was surprised that he came by himself.
“For one thing, I couldn’t see losing all the money I put down for this trip, and even though I was badgered into coming, I was looking forward to a vacation, something I haven’t done since…. Since a long time ago” he said, not wanting to say that his last vacation was with his wife, a year before she died. He thought that may have put an awkward feel to a pretty nice dinner.
Heather, who was listening, but not saying much, caught the pregnant moment between the two “since” words and wondered what that was about. She did find him charming and a complete gentleman, and she actually found herself attracted to him. Just before dessert, Gina excused herself to use the ladies room, then got up and left, leaving the two shy one’s to themselves.
“She is a talker.” Ethan made claim.
“You have no idea.” Heather said, then chuckled. “I am sorry for her just inviting herself, and me, to join you tonight. As you will find out, she has to no filters and is quite outgoing.”
“Yeah. I kind of have gotten that sense about her. Nothing wrong with that, and my sisters friend is the same way, so I am used to it. But, I have enjoyed the company very much, and if you two don’t mind, since we have struck up this friendship, maybe you two would like to have your dining seats changed to these for the rest of the cruise….. And not to be forward, but I really like dining with two very lovely ladies.”
Heather smiled, “No offense taken and thank you. I will ask motor mouth when she gets back. Maybe we can chat sometime about your company, that is if you want too. This too is my first vacation in a long time too, so I really don’t want to mix business with pleasure, but yours sounds so interesting.”
Gina arrived back then and asked if she missed anything. Heather, trying to be a smart ass said that the male strippers just got done with their show. Gina’s mouth almost fell to the ground until she realized that Heather was just kidding, which made Heather and Ethan laugh.
“I was going to say, now that is a fun cruise if they had those onboard. Good thing I brought cash with me. I would have stuffed some down their g-strings, using my teeth.” Gina said laughing. Heather looked at Ethan and rolled her eyes, then mouthed, “told you, no filters”.
Gina then asked, as the waiter took the empty dessert plates away, what Ethan’s plans were for the rest of the evening. Ethan said he was going to take a walk around the ship, and maybe stop in the casino for a bit, but turn in early tonight. It had been a long day and he was getting a bit tired. The three then took leave of the dining hall, with Ethan bringing up the rear, admiring his two new friends.
Ethan did walk around and got the lay of the ship, so he knew where he was going from that point on. He did check out the gym they had onboard and saw it opened at 5am. Maybe a little early for him he thought, but if he did rise early, he would be down here for sure at least a few mornings. He then strolled topside and saw the girls, as they sat and talked with two guys, that he knew for sure were just players. But the girls seemed entertained, and isn’t that what the cruise was for? It was almost 10:30 when he decided to head back to his room. As he stood by his door, he wondered if Heather came back too.
As he got undressed and slipped into bed, he could not get his mind off of Heather. To him, she was perfect. He did not really go for the very outgoing type, like Gina. He liked the reserved style that Heather displayed, yet she also looked like a dream. Tall, and a very nice body. Toned legs, and the best part, small breasts. He loved small breast. Tammy was a small B cup, but had the longest nipples he ever encountered. He could make her cum just by playing with them and sucking them. As he lay there thinking of her, he found his cock growing, which was unusual for him. Only Tammy could elicit erotic thoughts for him. And even though he and Gail did go out a couple of times, he never found himself having any erotic thoughts of her. He then took matters into his hands and had a nice orgasm, thanks to Heather.
Chapter 4
It was 7am now, the ship was at sea today, on its course to St. Thomas, the American Virgin Islands. Ethan was just starting to workout in the gym when he saw Heather come through the door. He smiled to himself at the sight of her. She looked fantastic to him. She had on a pair of gray leggings that hugged every curve she had to offer, and a Temple University T-shirt. Though he tried not stare but he could easily see that she was either wearing a thong, or no panties at all. He guessed a thong, but her ass looked heavenly to him. Her T-shirt was kind of snug fitting, and gave him a view of her perfect breasts, as they strained to be let free. Ethan was wearing a pair of blue runners shorts and a Temple Basketball shirt, that was sleeveless. So they might have something else in common.
For Heather, when she entered the gym, she really did not see Ethan at first, she was trying to figure out what she wanted to do first. Then she saw Ethan and her heart skipped a beat. She saw him on the Bowflex Extreme working his legs. “Oh God, what legs he has. Strong and fit and sexy.. Oh My God, look at his biceps” she thought. She couldn’t believe a man was turning her on like this. She hasn’t thought of another man since Peter died, and had not been with any man, but Peter, since her college days. She then composed herself and walked over to the other Bowflex that was next to him. His eyes were closed as he worked the machine, so he did not see her take a seat on the machine next to him.
“Hi Ethan. Nice to see you” she said, then thought about how lame that sounded.
Ethan stopped then and relaxed a second, “Good Morning to you too. I see you are an early riser as well.”
“Yeah. I didn’t sleep all that well last night. Must be the strange bed and surroundings that caused it… So I figured I would burn off some of that dessert they gave us last night” she said.
“I hear you, but it was good. I hear the midnight buffet is out of this world. If I do that, I know I’ll be down here every day trying to work that off.” Ethan said then chuckled.
“Oh God. I heard that most people gain 5 to 10 pounds when they go on a cruise. So I guess I will be joining you down here. I’m fat enough.” she said.
“Uh huh. Yeah you are a real tubby.” he said jokingly.
She smiled knowing he did not mean that. She really had no fat on her at all. If she thought about it, the only place that really needed toning was her ass, but since she really couldn’t see it, she really did not care..
“So, were you an Owl too” Heather asked, knowing only a person who went to Temple would understand that.
“Yes” he said between breaths. “Graduated 9 years ago with a BS in computer science”
“Oh Wow.. Small world. My sister graduated 11 years ago with a BS in business, and I went to college at Virginia. Did you live on campus or commute?” she asked.
“I commuted. My parents lived in Valley Forge and it was where I grew up. It was expensive enough to just go there and did not need the extra expense for room and board.” he told her, looking into her beautiful green eyes.
“That’s cool. I lived on campus. My last three years I was rooming with Gina. We’ve stayed pretty close since then, as you can see… I grew up near Williamsport, so commuting wasn’t an option for me, nor my sister. Did you partake in the Frat life?” she said.
“ No, I always went home after school and hardly socialized with campus life. I was a bookworm and my girlfriend was back home. She eventually became my wife when I graduated. Tammy passed away from cancer almost 4 years ago now.” he said solemnly.
“Oh My God Ethan. I am so sorry. That had to be tough….. I know all too well. My husband died a little over 3 years ago. Pete was in the service, a Marine platoon leader and was killed in that fucking war… Sorry for swearing.” she said, with a trace of anger in her voice.
“Oh My Heather. That had to suck…. I wish I could have met him to thank him for his service. I actually wanted to join the Navy, but my parents were dead set against that, and so was Tammy. None of them believed we should have been over there so long as it we have been.” he said, then sort of drifted off, thinking of how his parents got upset that he wanted to join the Navy.
Heather too was thinking back again, to her and Pete and that fateful day the Chaplin showed up. She almost started to cry, but held it back. She knew she needed to get out of this funk, and for some strange reason, was drawn to Ethan even more now, finding out he too, suffered a loss of the person you love most.”
Heather then went over to the Treadmills and started jogging. Ethan took the one next to her. They did not talk, but just concentrated on their running. After about 20 minutes, Heather slowed hers down to a walk. The whole time though, she thought about Ethan, and not Peter. She was attracted to him now, more than at any time since they met. Maybe it was because he showed her that he was vulnerable. Then she thought of what Gina had said about this trip. It was time she started living again and maybe find love, or at least get laid. She had not been with a man since Peter, and she did miss the feel of man next to her, or making love to her. But she could never do what Gina does, which is just fuck a guy, then basically tell him to shove off.
When they finished up, her T-shirt was soaked and her nipples were hard as rocks, poking through the fabric, a sight that did not go unnoticed by Ethan. He did his best not to be obvious and hoped she didn’t notice. But they were gorgeous to him and he could feel a tingle down below.
“So, will I see you two ladies at breakfast? I believe we eat at 9am, since we have the later dining times.” he asked her.
“I don’t know about Gina, but I would like to join you, if you don’t mind. Gina got in kind of late last night. She met up with a couple of guys from the Philly area and they went to the one club. I came back to the room and went to sleep.” she replied, and had a frown on her face.
“Yeah I saw you guys with them last night when I was out walking around. I turned in a little past 10. I was tired.” he said, but wanted to say they looked like players, hoping to score.
“Yeah. They were nice and all, but the one guy made me feel like all he was doing was undressing me the whole time, and that made me feel uneasy. Don’t get me wrong, I know it happens to us women all the time, but at least be subtle about it. Plus, he definitely is not my type. And to be honest, I really don’t know what my type is anymore.” she said
Ethan let that comment go, but he too, had no idea what his type is, but one he was sure of, was that Gina was not his type. If he had a type, she had to be romantic, and not want to go off and fuck at the drop of a hat.
Heather just got out of the shower and was toweling down by her bed. Being naked in front of Gina was no big deal, since they have been lovers, and still do on many occasions. She still relives the raw passion the three of them shared in their threesomes. She got so turned on by watching Pete and Gina fuck, and listening to Gina talk dirty to him. Then the passionate loving making she and Pete would have after Gina left.
Gina was now rolling out of bed when she saw Heather drying herself. “My God Heather, you look so fucking sexy this morning.” Gina said as walked up and embraced Heather and lightly kissed her on the lips.
“You’re just horny is all. I thought for sure you and John would have hooked up last night. You two looked real cozy together.” Heather stated.
Gina giggled, “We almost did, but Jim just hung around us the whole evening when we went to the club…... I’m sorry, I know he made you feel uncomfortable last night. I even told him off after you left.”
“Thanks, and you are right, he did. They kind of reminded me of those two jocks we hooked with from that party. You remember I’m sure, since you got lucky and got the guy with the big cock that could go all night. Mine was a dud. Came in like two minutes, then passed out, and to top it off, he was lucky if it was five inches long.” Heather said.
Gina laughed and said she remembers it well and a few other times they played together, but not bringing up Peter at all. She loved playing with Peter. He knew how to pleasure a woman and had a beautiful 7 inch cock that was so thick. She thought how he always made both the girls cum many times those nights.
Heather brought her out of her revelry when she said, “Guess who I ran into at the gym this morning?”
“The Adonis? God I bet he looks hot in shorts and no shirt. I really do wonder how big his cock is. I wonder even more if he can dance. You know my saying, if a man knows how to dance, he’ll know how to pleasure me in bed…. By the way, John is a good dancer and kisser too.” she said and giggled.
“You are so bad… Go shower and let’s get moving to breakfast. Ethan asked if we were joining him…... Remember, we have that spa appointment at 11am. I think I am going to get my hair cut too. I have had this style since forever. Time for a change.” Heather stated.
Heather hadn’t changed her style since meeting Peter all those years ago. Always shoulder length, or a tad longer. She wanted something new and easy to manage.
Chapter 5
Ethan was already seated at the table when the girls came into the dining hall. They had knocked on his door when they left their room, but got no answer. Ethan had just got a cup of coffee, when the girls sat down.
“Good Morning ladies. I hope you slept well.” Ethan said, already knowing that Heather did not, but he wasn’t sure that Heather told Gina about their meeting this morning in the gym.
“Good Morning Ethan. And yes, I slept quite well… I heard you and my BFF here share another common interest, working out… I do a few times a week, but usually later in the day. I don’t like exerting energy like that in the morning, unless.” she said, letting the “unless” hang out there, to which Heather just rolled her eyes.
Ethan just smiled, to be polite, but he fully understood what she was getting at. From her looks to the way she moved, he could tell she would be a tornado in bed, but that was it, she was in it for the sex and sex only. To him, Heather might be the complete package. Smart, funny, a little shy, but he wondered if she was passionate in bed, which is something he would want in a partner.
They ate breakfast, and as they did, they asked what each others plans were. Ethan said he was going to go skeet shooting off the fantail of the boat, then head to the pool area in the early afternoon and relax. The girls told him about their appointment at the spa, where they were going to get nails done and a massage, and a facial treatment.
As they were leaving Heather asked him to save two chairs by the pool for them, if he was ok with that. Ethan said of course he was. “I’d love the company of two pretty ladies.”
A few hours later, the girls found Ethan near one end of the pool. The place was crowded, but he did save two chaise lounges for them. He too, was in a lounge chair reading a book. He looked up when Gina said Hi to him. Luckily, he had sunglasses on, or they would have seen his eyes pop out of his head. Gina was wearing a bright orange thong style bikini. Just enough on top to cover her areolas and nipples, and triangle patch that was tasteful enough for family viewing, covering her sex.
Heather, the more tasteful one, was wearing a kelly green one piece that hugged her slender frame nicely. He definitely knew now she was small breasted, which he adores, but could easily see her nipples poking out through the thin material. But what made his eyes pop was the new hairdo that Heather was sporting. Her hair was a lot shorter now, and was layered back, framing her beautiful face. He loves a woman with short hair like that.
“Have a seat ladies.. Oh and Heather, I like your new hairdo. It looks great on you.” he said.
“Hey, what am I, chopped liver?” Gina said then laughed.
Ethan just shook his head, then said, “Hardly Gina. You are quite beautiful as well, but you didn’t get your hair done, like Heather, but I do like your choice of nail polish. It’s bold, like you” he said, pointing out the bright red polish on her toes and fingers. Then asked the ladies if they would like something cold to drink. Both said yes, but as he started to get up, Heather said she would go get them. Ethan was mesmerized by her toned butt as she walked to the bar area.
“She is gorgeous, isn’t she?” Gina said plainly. “Yes she is.” Ethan replied.
“Can I speak frankly?” she asked, and Ethan nodded yes.
“First, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. To be so young and taken away like that, had to be rough. Heather too, had the love of her life tragically taken away from her as well. This is her first venture back into the world of the living, and from what I can tell, yours as well. You two are like two lost ships at sea, so to speak, who just happen to meet at sea.” she giggled then.
“But seriously. She is into you, and trust me I know. We’ve been best friends since college. But if you go slow, and you both let your guard down, you just may find a great friend, and maybe even more. She is a very romantic person. She loves those movies that always have a happy ending…. I am more cynical and do not believe in love anymore. I had my heart ripped out and pissed on by someone I loved and adored. So I never let a guy in that close. I basically just use them for a good time…. Heather though, is not like that. Just don’t lead her on is all I am saying. Not that I think you would, not like those two guys we met last night. All they wanted was in our panties, and she is not like that. Capice?” using the Italian term for understand.
“Thank you for letting me know and your condolences. Yes, it was a very rough time, especially the last year. You feel so helpless and you really are. But Tammy is now in a much better place, at least I hope so. And, to be honest, I am into Heather as well. No offense to you, but I find her the most gorgeous woman on this ship, but you are right behind her….. I guess I am like her as well. I want romance, and not a quick roll in the sack. And like her, this is my first real venture back into the world.” Ethan said.
Gina laughed then, “No offense taken. But if you are looking for a quick roll in the sack, just leave me one of your key cards and I’ll cummmmm visit” making sure she put emphasis on cum.
They both chuckle then and Heather was coming back with their drinks. “What’s so funny?” she asked. Gina thinking quick on her feet, so to speak said , nothing really, just how some of the people look around the pool. Some should not be dressed as they are is all.
Heather took the lounge next to Ethan, since Gina already took the one farthest away. Heather did not care though, since she did enjoy being with him, and wondered if his wall was still up, like hers, and could they possibly let them down, at some point on this adventure.
The three of them did talk on occasion, of what they wanted to see on the different islands they were going to visit. Heather then asked Ethan if he would like to join them on any of the excursions they found interesting. Ethan agreed, since he was by himself, plus he did enjoy spending time with them. They were both easy to talk with and he and Heather had a lot in common. The Gina giggled and said,
“Oh does that mean he will join us when we go to the nude beach on St. Maarten?” then laughed. Heather, just shook her head, as did Ethan. Although he did have thoughts of what either would like naked. Then he wondered if their state room has a queen size bed in it as well, and are they comfortable sleeping together.
Tammy and Ethan talked a many times about fantasies they had, they were always very open and honest with each other, including sex. Tammy’s was always to be with another woman, and to see Ethan fuck the woman after she and Tammy played. Tammy did have a close friend who wanted to try it, but her husband was to much of a stick in the mud to venture into that. Ethan’s was to have a foursome, and to watch his wife fuck another man. They would set up scenes on how they thought it would go, then have some of the wildest love making. And now, he wondered, if Heather and Gina were closer than they appear.
After a couple hours of laying out, Heather jumped in the pool. When she emerged a bit later, her suit clung to every curve and crevice she had. Her nipples were hard as rock and poked out at least ¾ of an inch. He suit also found the slit of her sex and outlined her camel toe, which Ethan had to look at. He thanked God he had his sunglasses on, knowing this would make Heather very uncomfortable if she knew he was staring like this. This also sent some blood down to a lower region. So he got up and decided he needed to cool off as well.
Ethan passed Heather a towel to dry off some, as he then went walked into the pool and swam a bit. After some ten minutes, he too came out of the water. Both Heather and Gina were watching him. He did not know they were staring at him and as the water rushed off his body, his suit clung to his manhood, giving them a delightful sight of what he was packing.
Gina grabbed Heathers arm and said, “Oh My God Sweetie. Look at the size of him. I bet money at least 8 or 9 inches when hard, and oh so thick… Oh Yeah. he can come with us to the nude beach.”
Heather, saw too, and for once since Peter’s death, she felt herself get excited, and felt her pussy actually get wet, and not from water. She now felt like some high school girl with a huge crush on somebody. “Could she let him in and see where this may lead?” She thought. And it wasn’t about the manhood size, but the whole package. That part of him would just be dessert to her.
After another hour of relaxing, they all decided to head back to their rooms and take a nap. Since tonight was the Captain’s cocktail party, they agreed to meet outside their rooms and head to it, together. They also made plans to go see the comedian they was putting on a show tonight.
When got to his room, his mind drifted to Heather some more and wondered if she was feeling the same as him. He could see them together as a couple. Remembering her as she got out of the pool again, just made him hard as a rock now, as he lay naked in his bed. He then slowly stroked himself, like he was making love to her.
While he did that, the girls lay on their bed too, naked. Facing one another Gina told Heather that she can feel that Ethan is so into her and that she needs to finally let go of the past and start moving forward. “And who better than that gorgeous hunk next door. I bet he is naked now, napping away, thinking of you Sweetie. His cock long and hard, wishing it was deep inside you, like my fingers are.”
Heather could only moan out in delight, as her friend knew what buttons to push on her. Before long, they were 69ing, giving each other pleasure that only another woman could do. It did excite Heather to think of him in a carnal way, as Gina sucked her pussy, and she feasted on her best friend. When she came, she came hard, thinking of Ethan making love to her and cumming deep inside her.
After they came, Gina kissed Heather then said, “God… I needed that. Last night when John and I were alone on the Fantail, we were making out and I felt his bulge. My God, I need to fuck him tonight. So if you and I split up and the “do not disturb” sign is on the door, can you go find something to do for an hour or so?” she asked.
“You are so slutty at times.” Heather said then laughed. “Oh Yeah I am. I can’t help it. I need dick, and so do you, and not the strappie we use either. You need the hard, hot type that shoots that wonderful cream inside you.”
Chapter 6
Ethan knocked on their door, signaling them he was ready. A few seconds later Gina appeared. She was dressed in a black cocktail dress and look absolutely amazing. So many men were going to have their tongues hanging out because of her. She greeted Ethan with a kiss on the cheek. Then Heather appeared. She had on a cream colored pencil skirt, with a matching blouse that made her look angelic to Ethan. She also had on cream colored pumps and her legs were to die for. Ethan, to his credit, was wearing a dark blue suit, with a white shirt and blood red tie.
“You ladies look absolutely beautiful this evening, making sure they both got the same compliment. But he was awestruck at the beauty that Heather had. Heather and Gina both thanked him and Gina said, “Well Mr. Hunk, you clean it up very nicely yourself.” Ethan just said thanks and turned a few shades red. He was not used to getting compliments from women of late. And Heather, not to be outdone by her friend, kissed his cheek and thanked him.
At the party, they mingled with other guests and chatted a little. Gina had found John there, so she cozied up with him and left Ethan and Heather to themselves. Even though they had just met the day before, they felt comfortable with each other and stayed close to one another. Probably to everyone else there, they were viewed as a couple, and both liked the idea of that. In fact, the ships photographer spotted them and took their picture, saying what an adorable couple they were.
At dinner though, it was just Heather and Ethan. This was a good time for them to really get to know one another. She was amazed by all the work he put into his company to make it a success, but asked him if he marketed his company with someone. He said no, but he should. It’s mostly small ad’s on the internet and word of mouth. Heather then offered to whip him up a web page. He said that sounded like a great idea. Both were thinking the same thing, to stay in touch after the cruise was over.
Throughout dinner, they talked, laughed, told stories, even embarrassing one’s about each other, when growing up. The talk flowed so smoothly for them, like they have known each other for years. He even told her about his sister, who was supposed to be on this trip. Heather asked then, how he felt about same sex relationships. Ethan answered truthfully that it did not bother him in the least, as long as they make each other happy, even if it was just for the sex part. Heather immediately thought of her tryst with Gina earlier, knowing it was just for the sex and relief that an orgasm could bring, but it also told her that this man was open minded.
They then enjoyed the comedy show, and found it quite entertaining. Ethan found himself looking at Heather as she laughed. She has dimples and her eyes scrunch up some when she laughs, and found that very adorable and even enhanced her beauty more. Ethan felt she was at ease with him and not stiff, like a first date might be, if this was a first date. He too felt great just being with her.
Then he thought of a promise that Tammy made him agree too, “Ethan, you are to find someone, and be happy. We were happy together and I don’t want you brooding the rest of your life because of me. Find that person and give them everything you gave me. I’ll always be in your heart, my love, I promise you that. Please promise me you will do this one last request for me?” which Ethan did agree too, even though he knew it would be hard for him.
Tammy was only the second woman he had been with. The first was a neighbor girl he had grown up with. She and Ethan had always been good friends and one night it led to sex between them, but they both admitted, afterwards, they shouldn’t have done it because they both were so different in what they wanted in a relationship. Tammy was really the only girl he loved and made love too. Tammy was not a virgin either, when they met in school. She lost her virginity in her sophomore year to the guy she was dating, but he cheated on her, so she ended it. Then met Ethan in their senior year and from that point on, they were a couple.
After the comedy show, they decided to see what the club was all about. They found a table and Ethan went and got them a drink. As he walked away, Heather just watched him, not as a hunk of meat, but a real man, who had class and from what she could tell already, was a very sincere person and not fake and knows how to treat a lady. She smiled at how he would hold a chair for her, or open a door to let her pass through first, such a gentleman she thought. She then looked at all the people dancing and thought how much fun they were having. Peter wasn’t a good dancer, but he went out and tried. She wondered if Ethan could dance, then laughed, when she thought of Gina’s remark about guys that could dance.
As Ethan approached with their drinks, she came back out of her thoughts and smiled at him. She knew then, that maybe this was fate, and she should go with it. For Ethan, seeing Heather smile made him more at ease. He really never dated anyone, but Tammy, but being with Heather, and seeing her gorgeous smile made him believe there was life after you lose the one you love.
They sat and drank a little of their drink until Ethan asked her if she would dance with him. Once on the floor, she was amazed at how well he moved to any song they played. She even giggled at one point, thinking again of Gina’s remark. “Oh sister, if you only knew how he could move”. Then a slow song came on, and Ethan took her hand. She flowed into his waiting arms, as they melted together, like so many other couples did just then.
They moved with grace, like they had been partners for years. Ethan was so glad his sister taught him how to dance, and also glad Heather knew how as well. Heather was totally shocked that he could dance so well and figured either Tammy, or his sister taught him how. Then she thought, “If I had a type of man to be with, this is the guy. Smart, funny, a true gentleman, and can dance, and a person that has respect for everyone he is in contact with.”.
When the song ended, she resisted giving him a kiss on the cheek, but she really wanted too. Then took his hand and led him back to their table. Heather giggled a bit then asked, “Who taught you how to dance?”
Ethan sort of grinned, then got a bit shy, but finally admitted that his sister taught him how. He laughed and said she taught him when he was 16, so he could actually go to school dances and not make a fool of himself. He laughed when he said he actually had to teach Tammy how to dance like that. Fast dance she could do, but not slow dance.
The couple then danced a little more, but it was getting close to midnight now, and they had agreed earlier, that if they were still up by then, they’d check out the midnight buffet. So off they went, and found where the buffet was taking place. Neither was all that hungry, so they opted for a plate of fruit that they would share, and ice tea. They both marveled at the spread the ship put out for this festive evening. No wonder, they both said, how a person could gain weight on one of these cruises.
As they ate, they talked about their childhoods and some of the dumb things they did, especially to their sisters. Ethan loved playing pranks on Sarah, as did Heather, on her sister. Ethan then asked how she ended up in Philly, knowing when her husband died, he was stationed out of Norfolk, Va.
“After Peter died, they gave me a few months to find housing off base. Gina had moved up to Philly the year before, and also my sister was there, so I guess it was because of that comfort, I migrated up there. I had to get out of there, and not because the Navy said I had too, but because of all the memories I had there, good and bad….. I stayed with my sister for a short time, but they had a growing family and felt like I was in the way. Gina said I should move in with her, until I found my own place, but that hasn’t happened yet.”
Ethan felt bad for bringing that part of her life up again. He promised himself not to ask questions that related to her married past anymore. Then he looked around the room, at all the people eating so heavy for this time of night, and laughed. Heather asked what was so funny. So he told her, which made her look and laugh too, then said,
“ I was also checking out the room and found that there is no woman as beautiful as you, here, or on this boat.” Ethan said, knowing he was taking a chance with that remark.
Heather smiled a little, then turned red and put her head down. She then thought, “Oh Peter, I do and will always love you, but I think I have met the person to carry on life with. He may not be you, but he is everything you were. Just know I love you and will always be in my heart.”
Heather then stood, which made Ethan wonder if her screwed up, until she held out her hand to him, “Let’s go walk this food off before we head to our rooms”
For the first time in ages, Heather took a man’s hand and held it as she walked. For Ethan too, it was his first time holding another woman’s hand, since his wife, and he thought it felt very good.
As they walked, they went by some of the shops that were onboard the ship and sort of window shopped, then made their way to the Fantail area of the ship, go get some fresh air. It was one of the few places you could actually get some fresh air and that was quiet. The only real sound you could hear was the water being churned by the massive propellers that move the ship.
Ethan could see lights, off in the distance. He did not know it was another ship, or an island. As they watched, Heather came very close to him so their bodies touched. Both felt a jolt of electricity shot through them. Ethan could also see the goosebumps on Heathers arms, so being the gentleman that he is, he removed his suit jacket and placed it over her shoulders and arms. Heather swooned in her mind and said to herself, “God, if this is real and he too wants more than just a fling, I am giving myself to him before this cruise ends.”
After another 10 minutes, they decided to head back to their rooms. Once they made it back to their hallway, Heather gave back his jacket and stopped to take off her pumps, which she said were finally killing her, but as they resumed walking, she reached for his hand again, which he gladly gave back, as their fingers intertwined together. When they got to their rooms, Heather saw the door handle on her door.
“Shit” she said. “What’s wrong” he asked. “I’m sort of out of a place to stay right now. Gina’s in there with flavor of the night… Oh well. Guess I’ll go up by the pool area and crash there a while”
Ethan just shook his head, and told her, “No. Just stay in my room until he leaves. I mean seriously, they can’t go all night” he said as he opened the door and held it for her to enter.
“Oh Ethan, You have no idea how long this could last. Trust me I know, I roomed with her in college and have first hand experience with it, and I room with her now. Any time I knew she was bringing home someone, I made sure I was in bed, well before they got there, put in ear plugs, and went to sleep. If you cannot tell, she is quite boisterous. “ then laughed.
Ethan got out a couple bottles of water, from the mini fridge that was in his room. Heather asked if she could use the bathroom. When she came out, Ethan offered her the bed to relax on, while he took the only chair in the room. Heather started to protest, but Ethan would not hear of it. So Heather climbed up on the bed and tucked her legs under her. She saw the Andes mints on the pillows and chuckled. Ethan asked what was funny.
“You know why they put these mints on the pillows?” she asked, to which Ethan had no clue. “It’s so a couple could eat them and then not worry about bad breath if something else was going to happen, besides sleep.” which made them both chuckle.
Then as they started to get quiet again, they could hear Gina yelling out, “Oh God Yesssssss” over and over, then a minute later they heard her say, “Yessssssss, I’m cumming”
Ethan just smiled a shy smile, like he was embarrassed for Heather, and Heather was kind of embarrassed, yet felt a yearning growing in her heart and her loins. “God, I wish Ethan and I were at a place that I could be saying the same thing”
They thought, after a good 10 minutes, that the show was finally over, until they heard the rhythmic thumping of the bed next door. Heather just laughed and said, “Told ya so” They sat for a while and talked a little more, but Ethan could see his new friend was getting quite sleepy and told her to lie down and shut her eyes, to which she did not argue. He then, when her eyes shut, took the bed spread, that was folded at the end of the bed, and gently placed it over her. He so wanted to kiss her goodnight, but refrained from doing that. If this was meant to be, then it would happen eventually.
Ethan did move the mints from the pillow and onto the nightstand, then found his running shorts, went to the bathroom and changed, then took a pillow from the bed and lay on the floor. Sleep finally overtook Ethan, even though the floor is not the best place to sleep. He’d prefer laying in his bed, with that gorgeous creature occupying it now. But maybe, just maybe, one day that would happen. His last thought was of his wife. “Tammy, I am really going to try and move on now. I think I met the person I could be almost as happy as I was with you. I love you and will always love you”
Chapter 7
Heather awoke first and noticed she was under a blanket, but still clothed, and smiled. She thought if he just wanted in her panties, he would have tried something. Then she looked down on the floor and saw Ethan laying there, then gasped. Sticking out of his shorts, was the head of his hard cock. From the outline in his shorts, Gina was right, he is quite hung, and oh so thick. “My God” she thought. Then thought back to when Peter was home and how she loved seeing his cock hard when she woke. She would always take him in her mouth and suck him awake, then slowly mount him and either ride him softly, making love, or fuck him hard. Either way, to her it was still making love.
She remembered what her mother told her on her wedding say, “Sweetie, just remember, a good marriage has a strong love, with caring hearts, and an understanding of each other, and communicate to each other but, the glue that holds it all together is the beautiful sex you both give one another. That’s the key to a great marriage.” And she was right, in Heather’s mind. Their sex was the glue that held it all together, and she knows her parents had a very healthy sex life.
Heather was still staring at it, when she saw him stir, so she backed up, so he wouldn’t know she saw that beautiful creature. Ethan’s eyes popped open and he looked around the room, trying to figure out where he was, until he remembered about Heather. His hand brushed against his swollen member, then realized he was partially sticking out, and covered it, hoping to God, she did not see that. Then sat up, so that he was facing away from her. When he did he heard,
“Good Morning Ethan. I am so sorry you slept on the floor. I didn't mean to fall asleep on you like that…. God, that floor had to suck to sleep on.” she said.
Ethan smiled then replied, “Nah. It was okay. But it was better than the alternative, which was you falling asleep in one of the those lounge chairs by the pool, and lord knows what may happen to you. I could never live with myself if something happened to you.”
“Well thank you. Chivalry is not dead yet. You are such a gentleman, and I hope this does not scare you, but I am really starting to like you in a way that I haven’t done since Pete, all those years ago.”
Ethan stood up, but facing away from her. “Hold that thought for a minute, I’ll be right back” then headed off to the bathroom to pee and hopefully have relief from this hard on. When he finished, and his cock shrunk to normal size, he was back into the room.
Heather was now seated on the edge of the bed, looking into his eyes. Ethan was a goner then. Her eyes have this magical touch on him, but then finally spoke.
“I too have those same feelings growing for you Heather. I guess it has been a long time coming for me, as I think it has been for you too. Would you like to be my date for the rest of the cruise, and then see how this all works out. I wasn’t BSing you last night, when I said you are the most beautiful person this boat, and I mean that inside and out.”
Heather smiled, got up from the bed and walked towards him, then placed her arms around his neck, leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips.”
“Yes, I will be your date for the rest of this cruise, and I hope when it is finished, we know for sure if this is something we both want afterwards. Just be patient with me, and I will do the same with you. We both have some heavy baggage we need to clear out” she said, then kissed him again.
Then she asked, “I know this is another imposition on you, but could I shower over here? I want to sneak in the room, grab some clothes and stuff, and hopefully not see them doing it……. Oh God, scar me for life” she said then laughed. Ethan did too and told her it was fine.
Heather went next door and opened the door quietly. She gasped when she saw both Gina and John, laying on top of the covers naked, but both were sleeping, and why not, she heard them going at it until at least 3am, when she drifted off to sleep for good. She stood and stared for a couple of seconds, for this was the first time she had seen a man’s cock, not counting what she saw with Ethan earlier. Now she understood why Gina was screwing this guy. He was quite hung, and he wasn’t even hard, and it had to be at least 6 inches long.
She then went to her dresser and found the shorts she wanted for the day, a thong, which is her normal panty anymore, and a flowery halter top. Since it was made of a silky type material, it would cling to her body if it got wet. She didn’t care, she wanted to look sexy for Ethan. That thought made her smile and actually start to get her wet, in her nether region. And as quietly as she came in, she did the same going out, hoping she did not wake either of them, then used the key card Ethan gave her to re enter his room. She heard the shower going, so she sat in the chair that Ethan had used the night before. Before she sat down though, she moved the dress shirt he was wearing that evening, and for some reason, raised it to her face and sniffed it, taking in the cologne he wore last night, a cologne that she really enjoyed smelling.
A few minutes later, Ethan emerged from the bathroom, wearing only a pair of runners shorts. Heather took in his great body. She adored his pecs, and the washboard ab’s he had. She knew then, she was super attracted to him, and she now knew he was very attracted to her as well. “Oh God, Gina was right, he is an Adonis.” she thought.
She stood as Ethan smiled and said, “It’s all yours Me Lady. I hope you weren’t scarred for life in this little adventure next door.” Heather said no, luckily they were still sleeping, but did not tell them they were both naked when she went in.
Ethan, now remembering how it is, waiting on a woman, took a seat on a chair by the door leading to the balcony, and opened the book he was reading yesterday. One thing he did notice about Heather, she wasn’t the type who wore a lot of makeup, which he liked. About 20 minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom, all dressed, hair just a bit damp, but since it was short, she did not need to fuss with it much. As she slipped on her sandals, he remarked how pretty she looked, which made her smile, inside and out, but also caused butterflies in her tummy.
As they left for the dining hall, she grabbed his hand and walked side by side. To both of them, this was starting to feel natural, and they both liked it. When they ordered breakfast, and then started eating, they mapped out what they wanted to see on St. Thomas. They both said they did not want to do the guided tours and such, but just wing it. Maybe rent some bikes, and definitely wanted to do some shopping. As they made their way down the gangplank, to shore, they were stopped by the ship’s photographer.
He took one shot, then said, “Oh come on, a couple in love should show it.” So they both chuckled, then hugged each other, with Heather leaning her head on his shoulder. “Much better” the guy said.
Both were basically thinking the same thing, “Could they fall in love again. Could this be the real deal”. As they entered the city of Charlotte Amalia, they marveled at its beauty and how clean it was. After 15 or so minutes of just taking in the sights, they spotted a place that rents bikes and decided on doing that. They rode all over the place, including Bluebeards Castle, and Blackbeard's castle. They took a path that brought them to one of the many beaches, and found it so peaceful, and breathtaking. Ethan even made a comment that he could get
