Neptune's Ring
PART ONE
Nat and Liz rode back to the resort and passed a taxi leaving the resort driveway. “That is odd,” Liz said as they pulled into the garage. “Who at the resort travels in a taxi?” she asked.
“That is a good question and I intend to find out the answer,” Nat said as she walked to the front desk her good mood sinking quickly.
“Maryann, who just arrived in a taxi,” she asked?
“It was your sister,” Maryann said.
“Simone?” Nat asked.
“Do you have any other’s we don’t know about, Honey?” Liz teased.
“No, one is quite enough these days,” Nat said with a sigh.
“Keep your cool,” Liz said as she saw Nat’s blood pressure rising.
“I am going to see what she is up to now,” Nat said. “I will meet you in the office in a bit.”
“Very well, my love, just promise me you won’t throw Simone off the balcony,” Liz teased.
“I will try my best, but I won’t make a promise I may not be able to keep,” Nat said with a wicked grin.
Nat stormed out of the front desk area headed for the elevator. If she were lucky, she would catch Simone still in her suite and would confront her there instead of out in public where Simone was sure to make a scene.
Liz walked up to the office and waited for the fireworks to begin.
Nat arrived at Simone’s door and pounded on it until Simone came to the door.
“Well hello, Sister,” Simone said.
“What are you doing here?” Nat asked. “I thought you had a few more days in the hospital.”
“I put on my charm and talked the doctor into discharging me early,” Simone said.
“Are you really well enough to be out of the hospital?”
“How nice of you to ask, but yes, he said it would be fine as long as I took it easy for the next few days,” Simone said. “You would have known that dear Sister, if you had been at the hospital with me,” Simone said with venom in her voice.
“The way you have been acting, you are damned lucky I don’t throw you out on your ass right now,” Nat said clinching her fist.
“Not to worry, Nat, I will be off the island Sunday,” Simone said. “I have been released to fly then and I already have a ticket.”
“Until then I suggest, you lay low and not cause any more trouble Simone or I will send you off to the only other motel on the island,” Nat warned.
“Oh, I will be good dear Sister,” Simone said. “I plan to lay out by the pool and stay out of your way as much as possible,” she said.
“That would be very wise, Simone.”
“I do plan to take care of some unfinished business with Levi,” Simone said.
“That will be pretty hard for you to do,” Nat said with a devilish grin.
“Why is that?” Simone asked a bit startled.
“Levi is not on the island anymore,” Nat said.
“Where is she?” Simone demanded to know.
“Quite frankly, dear Sister, I don’t believe that is any of your business. You are completely and finally out of Levi’s life now,” Nat said.
“That’s what you think, Nat, but my way of thinking is very different.”
“Why would you even want to pursue someone who has absolutely no desire to be with you?” Nat asked.
“Oh, Levi still wants me, I am sure of it,” Simone said. “She can’t just walk away from me,” Simone said.
“Well this one did, Simone and you ruined the best thing to have come into your life,” Nat said.
“I guess we will just have to see about that,” Simone said. “I know you would not let your little prize bartender go for long so I will just wait until she returns.”
“You will be out of here Sunday morning, regardless, Simone, and that is that,” Nat said as she spun on her heel and barged through the door.
“Later, Sister,” Simone shouted as Nat closed the door loudly.
Nat could hear Simone laughing behind the closed door as her rage burned through her veins. “Damn you Simone,” she mumbled under her breath. “Why can’t you leave well enough alone?”
Nat walked around the resort to exhaust the rage Simone had stirred in her. Not many people had the ability of making Nat lose her temper, but her younger sister always knew exactly which buttons to push to send Nat over the edge.
Simone had always felt inferior to her older sister. Nat was the first to become a successful businesswoman. Nat had a secure and stable relationship with a great woman. Granted, Simone’s success in the travel industry had blossomed quickly, but only due in part from the financial backing Nat had provided to get Simone’s ideas off the ground. Simone had paid Nat back in full for her investment, but Simone knew without Nat she would have been just your routine travel agent. Simone was also envious of the love that Nat shared with Liz and longed to share that love with someone. She had seduced many women, but none of them had that special feel to them. That was until Levi had come into her life.
Levi was definitely the one that got away, or in Simone’s case the one she foolishly discarded like yesterday’s trash. Simone felt the sting of shame burning deep inside her for the way she treated Levi, but she would be damned if she would admit that to anyone. Simone was superior and would not concede how badly her psyche had been damaged when Levi walked out of her life. No one and especially not a minimum wage bartender would humiliate Simone Taylor.
Simone removed the immobilizer sling and carefully showered to rinse the smell of the hospital off of her body and dressed in a skimpy bikini. By the time she finished her shoulder was on fire with a dull ache and she swallowed a pain pill and replaced the sling on her body. She had plans to lay out by the pool to soak up some rays and scope out the resorts latest round of guests. She slipped a thin cover up over her head and took off for the pool. Despite the doctor’s warning of mixing alcohol with her pain medication, Simone took great pleasure in ordering a tall Tropical E as she located a perfect sunning spot and spread out a towel.
“That is an absolutely sinful drink,” a deep voice said from beside Simone.
“Yes, it is,” Simone said as she lowered her sun glasses to get a better look at the woman beside her.
Young, spiky blonde hair, cute smile, sexy voice, just my type of woman, Simone thought as she smiled back at the woman.
Hi, my name is Simone,” she said as she replaced her glasses, protecting her eyes from the glare of the sun on the pool.
“Nice to meet you, Simone, I am Del and I sure hope you will allow me to buy the next round,” she said.
“I do believe that can be arranged,” Simone said. “So where are you from Del?”
“I am down from Boston for a couple of weeks of fun and relaxation,” she answered.
“That is a beautiful town,” Simone said.
“Where do you live?” Del asked.
“Mainly in New York City, but I also have a small place in South Beach,” Simone said.
“That must be where you get such a heavenly tan,” Del said.
“Well, I do try to spend us much time as possible on the beach,” Simone said, obviously flattered by this woman’s attentions.
“It shows too,” Del said with a voice that almost purred to Simone’s ears.
“Why, thank you, Del,” Simone said as she took a long drink.
“That looks very painful,” Del said pointing at Simone’s right arm in the sling. “What happened?”
“I had a bit of a jet-ski accident and broke my collarbone,” Simone said. “It isn’t as painful as it is frustrating,” Simone said. “I can remove my arm long enough to shower, but the remainder of the time my arm must be immobilized. It makes eating and sleeping a real challenge,” Simone said.
“Well if you will allow me to assist you, I could help with mealtimes,” Del said.
“That is very sweet of you, Del,” Simone said with a smile. “Can you help me sleep too?” she teased.
“That could possibly be arranged too,” Del said returning Simone’s challenge with a sly smile.
“Interesting,” Simone said as she took another sip from her drink.
Nat had finally cooled down from her confrontation with Simone and was walking past the pool when she glanced over and saw Simone talking with Del. “Now if that isn’t a match made in heaven,” she said out loud, “I don’t know what is.”
She suddenly felt like smiling again and when she stepped inside the office, Liz looked up to see her smiling.
“I am not so sure, I like that look on your face,” she said. “I don’t hear any sirens, so what has you smiling so brightly?” she asked.
“You know that spiky haired young guest who is bordering on the edge of being a stalker?” Nat asked.
“Del? Yes, what of her?”
“Well she and Simone are having drinks down by the pool,” Nat said with a smile. “For some reason I thought of a cobra and a mongoose when I saw them together, two predators sparring like that,” Nat said. “I just had to smile.”
“You can be a truly evil woman, Nat,” Liz said.
“Now, now my dear, evil is a pretty strong word,” Nat said.
“Ok, you are a truly wicked woman then, that better?” Liz teased.
“Much better, wicked sounds so much sexier.”
“Well you are very sexy, My Love.”
“So what are you working on?” Nat asked.
“I was surfing the net looking at some potential properties,” Liz said.
“Have you seen anything you like?” Nat asked.
“There are five that I think may hold some potential,” Liz said.
“That sounds very promising,” Nat said. “Why don’t you show them to me?”
Liz turned back to the computer screen and began to move the cursor across it when the power dimmed and then went out completely. The fire alarm screamed aloud and Liz looked at Nat.
“We don’t have a drill scheduled for today do we?” she asked.
“No we don’t,” Nat said as she rushed over to the enunciator panel and saw that a smoke detector had been activated in one of the guest rooms. “Room 108,” she said as she rushed for the door, with Liz closely behind her.
When they arrived, the Maintenance staff was already in the room and had determined that a cigarette had been discarded in a waste can, before being properly extinguished and were able to stop the fire from growing beyond the waste can. Smoke filled the room, but there was no damage to fixtures or furnishings. Sirens could be heard in the distance as the small local fire department was on its way in response to the alarm.
“I have everything under control here, Nat,” Mary, the head of Maintenance said. “I will deal with the Fire Department as well,” she said.
“Thanks, Mary,” Nat said. “I absolutely detest dealing with that ogling bunch of men,” Nat teased.
“I know you do, Boss, so I will take care of everything.”
“We may need to move the guests from that room while the smoke clears,” Nat suggested. “Have a little chat with them about smoking safely too, please.”
“Will do Boss,” Mary said as she sent one of her assistants to the front desk to find out the name of the guests in the room.
“Let’s beat it before the fire chief makes his arrival,” Nat said as she took Liz’s hand and left the room.
Vanessa and Levi were jolted awake by the landing of the jet as they arrived in Miami.
“Touchdown,” Levi said as she smiled up to Vanessa. “We made it.”
“That wasn’t bad at all,” Vanessa admitted.
“I don’t know about you Babe, but I am starving,” Levi said. “Why don’t we grab some lunch before we leave the airport,” she suggested.
“There is a nice little deli that serves some of the best Cuban sandwiches,” Vanessa said.
“That sounds perfect,” Levi said, “My treat.”
“You have yourself a deal,” Vanessa said as she retrieved their bags from the overhead.
They located the deli and ordered the sandwiches before finding a small table in the crowded room. They sipped on drinks while they waited for their sandwiches to arrive and watched the traffic in the busy airport.
“What will be happening on the ship today?” Levi asked.
“They will be performing a final deep cleaning and maintenance,” Vanessa said. “Most of the crew will be on shore until Wednesday as the ship is re-stocked and made ready for the next cruise.”
“Do you have a place in Miami?”
“No, I stay on board the ship. No more than we are in port, it just doesn’t make sense to lease an apartment or house.”
“That is probably wise,” Levi said.
“Some of the staff rent a house out near the beach and since they rotate cruises; there is generally someone always at home.”
“What about Killian?”
Vanessa smiled at the mention of her first mate. “Killian chooses to stay on board.”
“I believe she loves that ship as much as you do,” Levi said.
“Yes, she does. When we take a break for the Christmas holiday, I have to force her off the ship to go spend time with her parents,” Vanessa said.
“Maybe this year the two of you will take a holiday down at the resort then,” Levi suggested.
“Even if it means I have to fly again,” Vanessa said with a smile.
Their sandwiches arrived and they enjoyed the spicy lunch washed down with several glasses of soft drinks. After they finished, they stepped out into the midday Florida sun to hail a taxi. Traffic was intense and the driver wove in and out of four lanes of traffic as he made his way quickly to the port.
When they reached the ship, she and Vanessa climbed out of the taxi. Levi paid the fare as Vanessa stood in awe of her ship.
“It must seem like ages since you have been on board her,” Levi said.
“It really does,” Vanessa said, while she admired the beautiful ship. “She looks more beautiful every time I look at her.”
Vanessa reached for Levi’s hand as they walked down the pier. Killian was standing on the bridge and saw them approach, then rushed toward the ramp that led down to the pier. She met them before they reached the ship and immediately hugged Vanessa.
“I brought her in without a scratch, Captain,” she said.
“I can see that, she looks great.”
“It is good to have you back on board,” Killian said. She stepped back from hugging Vanessa and embraced Levi. “I am so happy to see you and to have you on board with us,” she said. “If there is anything I can do for you while you are on board, please let me know.”
“Well I do have instructions to get you back to the resort as quickly as possible, so maybe once we leave port you can put a little extra speed in,” Levi teased.
“NeNe did tell me to hurry back,” she said.
“She misses you terribly, but you never tell her I told you that,” Levi said with a grin.
“My lips are sealed,” Killian said. “Will you two be joining us for dinner tonight?” she asked.
“Yes, please ask Andrea to prepare dinner for two more,” Vanessa said.
“Very well then, let me take those bags for you,” she said as she took the bags from Levi and Vanessa. “I will put these in your cabin, while you take a look around.”
Killian knew Vanessa well enough to know that the first thing she would do was walk the ship once she came on board and Vanessa smiled at her correct assumption.
“Would you care to walk with me or would you rather rest for now?” Vanessa asked.
“I don’t want to miss a minute of your company,” Levi said.
“I will check in with you later then Killian,” Vanessa said as they walked to the elevators.
“Later Captain,” Killian said, as she disappeared up the stairs with their bags.
PART TWO
Simone and Del spent the afternoon at the pool, soaking up the sunshine and several drinks. The days Simone had spent in the hospital had left her hungry, but her appetites went much further than food. She had every intention of seducing Del and was confident that her intentions would be well received by the young woman.
“Would you join me for dinner?” Simone asked as she sat up on her lounge chair.
“I would love to,” Del answered. “What time would you care to meet?”
“I thought we could meet at six and then spend some time down at the club afterwards,” Simone said.
“That sounds very nice to me,” Del said, as she stood and offered a hand of assistance to Simone.
“We have a date then,” Simone said, as they walked back toward the resort. “I will meet you at the dining room at six then,” she said as she parted ways with Del.
“I look forward to it,” Del said with a smile before she turned away from Simone.
This one will do nicely, Simone thought as she watched the catlike movements of Del’s body as she walked away.
Simone walked into the salon and requested to have her legs waxed. The young salon attendant worked quickly to remove the stubble from Simone’s legs and then rubbed her freshly smoothed legs with baby oil. Simone enjoyed the feel of the woman’s hands on her legs as she carefully covered her skin with the soothing oil. She could feel the dampness grow between her legs as the woman’s hands stroked the insides of her thighs.
“All set,” the young woman said, as she helped Simone from the waxing chair.
“Thank you, my dear,” Simone said, as she signed the charge ticket, giving the woman a twenty dollar tip.
“Thank you, Ms. Taylor,” the woman said as she took the ticket from Simone. “Let me know if I can be of further assistance while you are at the resort.”
“I will indeed,” Simone said with a smile.
Simone took the elevator to the penthouse and slipped out of the swim suit and immobilizer then stepped under the flow of the water. It felt good to have her arm free for a few minutes even though the slightest of movement made her shoulder ache. She showered quickly and swallowed a pain pill before calling the front desk.
“How may I assist you Ms. Taylor?” the woman asked.
“I need a wakeup call in an hour please,” Simone requested.
“No problem, Ms. Taylor, will there be anything else?” the woman asked.
“Yes, please also arrange for a bottle of champagne to be delivered around eight tonight,” Simone requested.
“I will take care of that,” the woman said.
“Thank you, very much,” Simone said as she ended the call.
Simone rested against the pillows and closed her eyes for a short nap. The pain medication worked quickly and Simone drifted off to sleep and dreams of Levi.
Levi and Vanessa walked every deck, as Vanessa inspected the work being done on her ship. She explained to Levi the vast amount of food and supplies that would be delivered for the next cruise as they walked through the pantry.
“Late tonight, a diesel tanker will pull alongside the Sappho One and will complete the refueling process while we sleep,” she said.
“I would hate to have to pay that fuel bill,” Levi teased.
“I am glad I don’t have to pay any of our bills,” Vanessa said. “The food costs alone would be enough to overwhelm me.”
They ended the tour in the control room, where they found Killian reviewing weather reports. She looked up to see them enter the room.
“Welcome back,” she said. “I hope you found everything at tip top shape,” Killian said.
“Of course I did, Killian,” Vanessa said. “You have done a wonderful job in my absence.”
“Thank you, Captain."
“How is our weather looking for departure Wednesday?” she asked.
“It looks we will have smooth sailing,” Killian said with a grin.
“That is always a welcomed relief,” Vanessa said. “What time is dinner tonight?”
“Andrea will be ready to serve us at six,” Killian said. “Several of us are planning to take a soak in the hot tub afterwards, if you two would care to join us,” she said.
Vanessa looked at Levi and found her grinning. “I think that would be a terrific way to wind down after a long day, so count us in.”
“Do you have some things you need to take care of, Vanessa?” Levi asked.
“I could go over some of these charts with Killian,” Vanessa said. “Do you want to go to the cabin to relax before dinner?” she asked.
“If you wouldn’t mind,” Levi said.
Vanessa handed Levi a key to the cabin. “Do you remember how to get there?” she asked.
“Yes, I believe I can find my way,” Levi said. She kissed Vanessa and said, “I will see you two later,” and left the room.
“Goodbye Levi,” Killian said with a warm smile.
“I will see you shortly,” Vanessa said with a wink.
Levi left the control room and made her way to Vanessa’s cabin. She opened the door and found a vase of roses sitting on the small bar with her name written on the outside of the card. Levi opened the card and read the short note from Vanessa.
My Dearest Levi,
Welcome home. I hope that you will be as comfortable here as you made me feel in your bungalow. I am very proud to have you sailing with us and I hope you will enjoy the trip as much as I will. I love you! Vanessa
Levi was amazed that Vanessa knew that sterling silver roses were her favorite as she plucked one from the vase to smell the sweet fragrance of the lavender rose. She could not recall having a conversation with Vanessa about roses, but she had chosen well. The roses made Levi smile even brighter as she clutched the card to her chest. Levi carried the rose with her as she moved to the bed where her bag was resting. She placed it on the bedside table and opened the bag to see what Vanessa had packed for her. She removed several outfits and placed them on the bed, smiling at Vanessa’s choice of clothing. She located an empty drawer and placed her clothing there, hanging the jeans and dress shirt in Vanessa’s closet.
The closet was filled with pristine white dress uniforms, each perfectly starched and pressed. Vanessa looked so handsome in her uniform and Levi’s chest swelled with pride as she visualized Vanessa strolling across the decks of the ship so nicely dressed.
Levi placed her bag beneath the bed and after removing her shoes, stretched out across the comfortable bed. She picked up the rose, bringing it to her nose and breathed deeply of its scent. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
An hour later, Levi stirred when she felt Vanessa enter the bed. Vanessa crept quietly beside Levi and watched her sleep for several minutes. They were due to arrive for dinner in less than an hour, so Vanessa leaned down to softly kiss Levi awake.
Levi’s eyes fluttered as Vanessa’s lips brushed softly across hers.
“It is time to wake, my sleeping beauty,” Vanessa whispered.
Levi’s arms circled Vanessa’s body as she pulled her down for another kiss. “I think I am dreaming,” Levi said. She opened her eyes and said, “That was no dream, I am being kissed by a handsome Captain.”
Vanessa smiled and lowered her mouth to cover Levi’s with a soft kiss as her tongue probed past her lips to enter Levi’s mouth. Her tongue hungrily sought out Levi’s and when they touched they began a sensual dance.
Vanessa moved on top of Levi and could feel the heat burning between Levi’s thighs as their bodies made contact. She softly ground her hips into Levi’s wetness. “You must have been having a good dream,” she teased.
“You were incredible, Vanessa,” Levi said. “You had me begging for more of your sweet loving,” Levi said with a blush.
“I will just have to see if I can make that dream come true for you later tonight,” Vanessa said.
“I have no doubt you will.”
“Right now though, we have to get ready for dinner,” Vanessa said. “I am going to shower if you would care to join me.”
“I would love to,” Levi said.
They stripped out of their clothes and stepped into the large shower. Careful not to get her cast wet, Vanessa placed Levi under the stream of the water then moved her back against the shower wall. She lathered up a soft washcloth and slowly bathed Levi’s body, caressing her breasts gently with the soapy cloth as she watched Levi’s nipples swell with excitement. Levi looked into Vanessa’s eyes darkened with desire as Vanessa bathed her stomach and down each side before her hand came to rest between Levi’s thighs. Long strokes of her hand between Levi’s thighs left her body slippery with soap and Levi watched with anticipation as Vanessa dropped the cloth to the floor of the shower. Her fingers moved smoothly in the soap as she teased Levi’s lips. Levi gasped with delight when Vanessa’s fingers entered her and she spread her feet wider to allow Vanessa full access to her body.
“Does that feel good?” Vanessa asked, as she curled her fingers deep inside Levi, the tips of her fingers brushing across her G spot.
“Dear God yes, Vanessa,” Levi purred as her body began to shake with pleasure.
“Good,” Vanessa said. “I have special plans for you tonight.”
Vanessa slowly removed her fingers much to Levi’s dismay. She rinsed her body under the flow of water and then kissed her. “Start drying off while I bathe,” she said, as she guided a pouting Levi from the shower.
Levi stepped from the shower and took a large towel and started patting her body dry as she watched Vanessa in the shower. When Vanessa turned off the water, Levi handed her a towel and left the bathroom to begin dressing.
“What are we wearing?” she asked from the bedroom.
“I am wearing shorts and a pullover,” Vanessa said. “We can come back after dinner to change into swim suits for the hot tub.”
“Sounds good,” Levi said as she picked out a pair of blue shorts and a white pullover. She dressed while she waited for Vanessa to emerge from the bathroom.
Vanessa walked from the bathroom with a towel around her waist and stepped into the closet. She dropped the towel and stepped into a pair of green khaki shorts and then slipped a sports bra over her head and pulled a yellow t shirt over the top of her head.
Levi was about to tuck the hem of her shirt into her shorts when Vanessa glanced up at her.
“Not just yet,” she said as she walked back into the bathroom. “Close your eyes,” Vanessa called from the bathroom.
Levi closed her eyes and a moment later felt Vanessa’s body pressed up to hers from behind. Vanessa’s hand slid beneath Levi’s shorts in inside her panties. Levi gasped as Vanessa’s fingers parted her lips and a smooth object was slipped past her lips deep inside her body. Levi felt the warmth of her breath as Vanessa’s mouth was at her ear as she cupped Levi’s wetness in her hand. Her left hand pushed a button on a small remote and a low vibration began deep inside Levi.
Levi felt her knees go weak as Vanessa took the speed up a notch.
“You are such a devil,” Levi moaned as Vanessa’s palm rubbed across her throbbing clit.
“Careful of what you say,” Vanessa warned as she turned the vibration to a stronger pulse. “I am the owner of the remote and will take full advantage of the fact,” Vanessa teased, her voice husky with desire.
She removed her hand from between Levi’s legs and allowed her to finish dressing. She cupped Levi’s mound with her hand from the outside and could feel the slight thrum of vibration in her body. She slipped the remote into her pocket and turned Levi in her arms.
“Are you ready for dinner?” she asked.
“Yes,” Levi said as a flush of desire filled her cheeks.
“Very well then, after you my love,” Vanessa said, as she held the door for Levi.
They made their way down to the dining room and were the last of the party to be seated. Vanessa introduced Levi to the staff she had not previously met and they drank wine and chatted until dinner began. Levi’s hand rested on Vanessa’s thigh as they drank and mercifully Vanessa slipped her hand into her pocket and lowered the intensity of the vibrator in her body. Levi welcomed the slight relief, but remained acutely aware of the toy humming away inside her body.
When the salads were finished and their entree was served, Vanessa turned up the dial and felt Levi jump slightly as the vibration increased. She smiled sweetly to Levi. “Are you enjoying the pasta, My Love?” she asked.
“It is fantastic,” Levi said, as she felt her nipples grow hard.
“Just wait until you try Andrea’s chocolate mousse,” Killian said.
“It is rumored as being quite an aphrodisiac,” Vanessa teased.
“That is true,” Killian said.
“I can’t wait to try it then,” Levi said.
As promised, once the dishes were cleared an absolutely sinful chocolate mousse was served. Levi took a bite and moaned her delight as the rich chocolate taste assaulted her taste buds. She watched in anticipation as Vanessa took a bite then placed her spoon down as she savored the taste and her hand slipped inside her pocket. Her fingers twisted the dial and the vibrator started humming inside Levi.
Vanessa watched Levi take another bite of the dessert and smiled sweetly as she turned the dial up another notch.
Levi wasn’t sure how much more she could take as her eyes pleaded to Vanessa for some relief. Vanessa slowed the speed and resumed eating her dessert.
“Are we still on for the hot tub?” Vanessa asked Killian.
“Most definitely,” Killian said. “After dinner we can change into our suits and meet in the tub on deck ten if that’s fine with you Captain.”
Levi ate as much of the dessert as possible and watched as Vanessa cleaned her dish, her tongue wrapping around the spoon for every morsel of the delectable concoction. Her arousal soared when she felt Vanessa’s hand on her right thigh as they chatted with the crew.
Finally, Vanessa placed her napkin on the table. “We shall see you in just a little while,” she announced. “Are you ready, Levi?” she asked.
“Yes, I am Vanessa,” Levi said as they stood to leave. “My compliments to Andrea for a fantastic meal,” Levi said.
Vanessa took Levi’s hand as they walked to the elevator. They stepped inside and Vanessa pressed the button to take them back to the cabin. Levi pushed Vanessa roughly against the side wall of the elevator and pressed her body into her.
“You are in some big trouble tonight,” she said as she covered Vanessa’s mouth with a breath taking kiss.
Levi reached over and pulled out the hold button on the elevator and then her hand unfastened the button on Vanessa’s shorts. Her fingers dove for the wetness between Vanessa’s thighs and she entered her deeply on the first plunge. Vanessa placed her right hand in her pocket and turned the dial to the maximum as Levi’s fingers rushed in and out of her wetness. Levi groaned into Vanessa’s mouth as the vibrator worked furiously inside her and her knees buckled as the orgasm ripped through her body.
She dropped to her knees in front of Vanessa and pulled her shorts down as her mouth targeted Vanessa’s wetness. Vanessa removed one foot from her shorts and draped her leg over Levi’s shoulder as Levi’s tongue ravaged Vanessa’s body.
Vanessa’s hand was buried in her hair as she ground Levi’s face into her wetness until her body exploded with a rush of juices, covering Levi’s face. Vanessa cried out as the violent spasms gripped her body and she grabbed the handrail for support.
Levi placed Vanessa’s foot back inside her shorts and raised them up her body. “Turnabout is fair play,” she whispered as her fingers pushed the hold button and she collapsed into Vanessa’s arms.
Vanessa opened the door to the cabin and pressed Levi back onto the bed. She quickly undressed her and when she had Levi stripped down to her panties she lowered them just far enough to give her mouth access to her swollen clit. Her tongue licked across the hard bud until Levi feared she would go mad with lust.
Vanessa lowered the panties from Levi’s body and then pinned her body to the bed with her hips. The seam of Vanessa’s shorts rubbed roughly across Levi’s clit as she writhed beneath the weight of Vanessa’s body. Vanessa moved her hand between their bodies and her fingers disappeared inside Levi. They reached the vibrating egg and positioned it directly on Levi’s G spot.
Levi’s body went rigid and then collapsed under Vanessa as her body was spent from her pleasure. Vanessa slowly withdrew the egg from within Levi’s quivering body and took her in her arms.
“Holy shit,” Levi said as she looked into Vanessa’s eyes. “If I died and went to heaven right now, I couldn’t be any happier,” she said.
Vanessa kissed her softly then rolled onto the bed. “You liked that little toy did you?” she teased.
“You have to ask?” Levi said.
Vanessa chuckled. “I thought you just might.”
“That was fucking fantastic,” Levi said.
“No, my dear, that comes later,” Vanessa said, as she took Levi’s hand and led her to the shower. “Let’s rinse off and slip into our suits. The others are going to wonder where we got off to,” she said with a smile.
Levi turned on the water as Vanessa stripped and they rinsed the pleasure from their bodies. After drying off they put on their suits and walked to the elevator.
“I love you,” Levi said as she rested her tired head on Vanessa’s shoulder.
“I love you too,” Vanessa said with a content smile.
PART THREE
Simone dressed in black jeans and a snug fitting black t shirt as she prepared to meet Del for dinner. She slipped into a pair of soft leather loafers and walked to the bathroom to spray some perfume on her neck. She observed herself in the mirror and smiled at the image looking back at her, pleased with her looks. She tucked her room key in her pocket as she left the penthouse.
Del changed clothing for the third time, as she wanted just the right look for tonight’s meeting with Simone. She knew that she would only have one opportunity to impress Simone and this was her night. She decided on black jeans and a black oxford on top of a white tank top. Most of the top buttons were left open and she rolled the sleeves halfway up her forearms. Casual, but snug enough to show off her best assets she thought as she looked in the full-length mirror. She smiled at her image and walked into the bathroom to add the finishing touch. She poured some gel in her palm and ran her fingers thru her thick hair.
Del left her room and arrived at the dining room before Simone and secured a small candle lit table next to a window. She was staring out the window at the fading sunset when she heard footstep approach. Del turned to see Simone walking toward her. Del stood and stepped over to the other side of the table. She pulled the seat out for Simone and smiled as she took the offered seat.
“Good evening, Simone,” she said.
“You look very nice,” Simone said, as she took the napkin and placed it in her lap.
“Thank you,” Del said. “You smell delicious.”
Simone chuckled. “Why thank you for noticing.”
“Would you care for a drink?” Del asked as the waitress approached.
“A scotch and water for me please.”
“We will have a scotch and water and a crown and coke,” Del said as the waitress took their orders.
“Have you worked up an appetite?” Del asked.
“Three days of hospital food, will leave anyone starving,” Simone said, as she fixed Del with her green eyes.
Del felt her heart race as Simone’s eyes fixed on her.
“Do you have any idea what you would care to eat?” she asked.
“A thick, juicy steak, if you will cut it up for me,” Simone said.
“That’s not a problem,” Del said. “I will feed you if necessary.”
Simone smiled at Del. “That is very sweet of you, but I think I may be able to manage that myself.”
Del chastised herself for appearing too condescending and lapsed into a moment of silence.
Their drinks arrived and Del took a long drink, hoping the strong alcohol would help to calm her nerves.
“Would you ladies care for an appetizer?” the waitress asked.
“What would you recommend tonight?” Simone asked.
“The coconut shrimp are wonderful,” the waitress said.
Simone looked at Del, “Is that ok with you?”
“Sounds delicious,” Del said.
“The shrimp it is then,” Simone said.
“Would you like to place your orders now or do you need a few more minutes?” she asked.
“I think we will wait,” Simone said. “I want to take a good look at what is on the menu,” she said, as her eyes smiled at Del and then moved down the front of her body.
“Very well, I will check back on you in a few minutes,” she said.
“What are you hungry for Del?” Simone asked.
“The steak and lobster looks good,” Del said.
“I was thinking the same thing,” Simone said.
She took a long drink and allowed her eyes to play across Del’s face. She is very cute, she thought and probably young enough to last all night if she doesn’t get too drunk.
“Are you enjoying your stay at the resort?” Simone asked Del.
“It has been very pleasant so far,” she replied. “Do you visit often?” she asked.
“Not as often as I like, but whenever possible,” Simone said.
“This is such a great place,” Del said.
“Yes, it is. What do you do in Boston?” Simone asked.
“My father is a shipping magnate and I will be joining his rank in file at the end of the summer,” Del said.
“Is that what you want to do?” Simone said.
“I am his only heir and he has groomed me for years to take over the business once he retires,” Del said.
“That is not what I asked,” Simone said more firmly.
“It is what is expected of me,” Del said. “By the time he retires, I will know enough about the business to keep it running smoothly.” She smiled at Simone. “Father is rarely in the office,” she said. “Most of his time is spent jet setting around the world and entertaining beautiful women.”
“Well that part wouldn’t be too difficult to maintain,” Simone said. “You certainly have the looks to turn many heads,” Simone said honestly, causing Del to blush.
“Thank you for saying that,” she said.
“I wouldn’t have said that, if I didn’t believe it to be true,” Simone said.
The waitress arrived to bring them the shrimp appetizer they had ordered and placed the large platter between the two women.
Simone took a shrimp and dunked it in the dipping sauce and reached across the table to offer it to Del. “You first,” she said as Del opened her mouth and took the crunchy offering.
Del moaned at the sweet taste of the shrimp and she found Simone smiling.
“I certainly hope to hear more of those tonight,” Simone said as she bit into a shrimp.
Del smiled back at Simone. “I am sure that can be arranged.”
“I am sure,” Simone said, as her green eyes sparkled.
When the waitress returned, they placed their orders and feasted on the remainder of the shrimp. Simone ordered another scotch and smiled when Del ordered a glass of tea. She was smart not to consume too much alcohol and Simone was becoming more impressed as the night progressed.
When dinner arrived, Del took Simone’s plate and cut her steak in bite sized pieces. She also removed the lobster from the shell and cut that as well, as Simone watched her carefully. Simone picked up her fork and speared a bite of steak with her left hand and closed her eyes as she placed the juicy meat in her mouth.
“This was a very good choice,” Simone said, as she speared another piece of steak.
Del began eating and watched as Simone speared a chunk of the lobster and dipped it into the drawn butter. As she lifted the soaked meat to her lips, a trail of butter slipped past Simone’s lips and trickled down her chin.
Del grabbed her napkin and was about to reach over to wipe Simone’s chin, when Simone said, “I think you could use something better than that napkin.”
Del stood and walked to Simone and leaned down to lick the butter from her chin.
“Mmm, that was much nicer,” she said, as her tongue brushed across Del’s lips.
“Simone is playing with her new pet,” Liz said to Nat as she watched the exchange between Simone and Del.
“If it will keep her out of Levi’s business she can play with whomever she wants,” Nat said.
“You know she’s going to play with whoever she wants to anyhow,” Liz said with a chuckle.
“True, but let’s hope this one satisfies Simone for a few days,” Nat said as she took a bite of her salad.
“I am crossing my fingers,” Liz said as she turned back to her meal.
Del felt her insides quiver as Simone’s tongue brushed across her lips and she boldly lifted Simone’s chin and kissed her lips.
Del’s lips were soft as they caressed Simone’s. So maybe we won’t spend much time at the club tonight, she thought. Just long enough to get some information and make an appearance on the dance floor before she would take Del back to the penthouse for a real test.
Del smiled proud that she met Simone’s challenge and turned around to take her seat. They finished their meal and each had another drink before they left the dining room.
Del tucked Simone’s left hand under her elbow and strutted as they left the resort and walked to the club. They stepped inside the dark club and Simone walked to the bar for drinks as Del found them a table.
Simone was disappointed that Levi was not behind the bar and was greeted warmly by Susan.
“Good evening, Ms. Taylor,” she said. “What may I get you?”
“A scotch on the rocks and a crown and coke,” Simone said. “Where is Levi?” she asked.
“Levi has taken a few days of vacation,” Susan said.
“Well good for her. Do you know where she went or when she will be back?” Simone asked.
“No, Ms. Taylor, I don’t,” Susan said as she handed her the drinks. “Start a tab?” she asked.
“Yes please,” Simone said, as she walked back to the table, frustrated that she didn’t get any information from Susan.
NeNe started a slow song just as Simone, reached the table.
“Would you care to dance?” Simone asked.
“I would love to,” Del said, as she rose and allowed Simone to lead her to the dance floor.
Del carefully placed her arms around Simone’s waist as they moved slowly together on the dance floor.
Simone could feel the heat in Del’s body as she pressed her body close to Del. Her hand caressed the back of Del’s neck as they danced and she could feel a slight quivering in Del’s body as she played in the soft hairs on the base of her neck. She placed her thigh between Del’s wanting to be certain that her soon to be young lover was sufficiently turned on.
NeNe sensed the mood on the dance floor and continued with the slow grinding music for two more sets. When the second song began, Simone turned her face to Del and kissed her deeply as her thigh pressed into Del’s wetness. Del’s moans vibrated in Simone’s mouth as she continued her seduction.
Simone broke the kiss and turned in Del’s arms. “Wrap your arms around me,” she instructed and Del eagerly complied as she ground her hips into Simone’s ass. “Oh yes baby, that’s it,” Simone whispered as she lifted Del’s hands to cover her breasts.
In the darkness of the dance floor, Simone took Del’s left hand in hers and placed it over her mound. “Feel how hot you have gotten me?” Simone purred into her ear,
“Yes, Simone and I want you so,” Del whispered into Simone’s ear as her teeth nibbled on her ear lobe.
“Soon,” Simone said, as she lifted Del’s hand to her lips and licked the tips of her fingers.
Del’s breathing was becoming ragged as Simone licked her fingers and Simone knew she would receive great pleasure tonight by this young tiger.
“Are you ready to go someplace more private?” Simone asked coyly.
“Yes, please,” she said. They left the club, their untouched drinks still sitting on the table.
Del took Simone’s hand and walked quickly back into the resort. Simone kissed her passionately as they rode the elevator to the penthouse. Del took Simone’s key to open the door and then kicked it closed behind them.
Simone stepped inside and smiled when she saw the champagne sitting beside the bed. She expertly popped the cork and poured two glasses. She took a sip of the golden liquid and said, “Undress me Del.” Del’s fingers rushed to the button on Simone’s pants and easily slid them down Simone’s hips. She gently removed the straps from the immobilizer and carefully removed the shirt and bra from Simone’s body. Standing naked in front of the young woman, Simone tilted her glass and allowed the champagne to trickle down her chest. Del eagerly licked the champagne from her skin as her hands cupped Simone’s ass.
Simone sat back on the bed propped against her pillows as she watched Del. “Now undress for me, slowly, mind you.”
Del kicked off her shoes and began unbuttoning her oxford as she slowly pulled the hem out of her jeans. She dropped the shirt to the floor as her hands unfastened the button and she slowly slithered out of her tight fitting jeans. Long, firm legs and a tight ass were visible as Del lowered her panties and turned slowly for Simone. After receiving a smile of approval from Simone, Del raised the shirt above her head and dropped it and her bra onto the growing pile of clothes.
“Very nice,” Simone said as she handed Del a glass of champagne and patted the bed beside her.
Del climbed onto the bed and sipped champagne with Simone. After the first glass, Del moved to straddle Simone’s waist and placed her glass on the table. She reached inside the bucket and took out a piece of ice.
She rested back on Simone’s thighs as she traced Simone’s lips with the ice. Simone smiled at her as a wicked gleam came to Del’s eyes. Del trailed the ice down Simone’s neck and onto her left breast as the cube slowly melted on her skin. She circled the nipple with the cube and watched as Simone’s nipple grew erect and she closed her eyes.
Del took the cube and placed it in her mouth as she leaned forward and took Simone’s breast in her mouth. She rolled the cube around Simone’s nipple while Simone’s hand grabbed a fistful of hair as she pulled her down harder onto her breast.
“Oh yes, baby,” Simone purred as Del suckled her roughly.
Simone arched her back filling Del’s mouth with soft breast as Del’s wetness soaked her lap. Simone lifted Del’s mouth from her breast and looked directly into her eyes. “You like that too, don’t you?” she teased.
“Yes, Simone, I do,” Del said.
“Show me what else you like,” Simone commanded.
Del smiled at her and took several cubes of ice from the bucket as she moved down Simone’s body. She moved down on the bed between Simone’s thighs and took a cube and pressed it between Simone’s lips, deep into her wetness, soon followed by another. The third cube she placed in her mouth and leaned down to take Simone’s clit in her mouth.
Simone growled with pleasure as the frozen cube swirled around her clit and her hand clutched at the sheets. She raised her knees, opening her body to Del who entered her with two fingers. Del located one of the rapidly shrinking cubes and rubbed it across Simone’s G spot sending her into orbit as Simone cried out she was coming. Simone’s juices mixed with the melting cubes to flood Del’s hand.
Del’s tongue stroked up and down Simone’s lips, teasing her as her fingers curled inside her body. Simone was soaked and her fingers moved so fluidly inside her body.
“You have me so wet,” Simone said. “It would be such a waste not to take advantage of all that natural lube,” she said.
Del looked up at her confused.
Simone grabbed a fistful of hair and pulled Del up her body.
“Go into the bathroom and open up the top right drawer and you will understand.”
Del climbed from the bed and walked into the bathroom as instructed and opened the drawer. Inside she found a strap on harness, a long, slender dildo and a tube of lube. Del stepped into the harness, pulling the straps tight around her waist. When she returned to the bedroom, she found Simone smiling at her as she sipped champagne. She had placed her arm back into the sling. “Rock my world,” she said as a smiling Del climbed back onto the bed.
Del placed a pillow beneath Simone’s hips raising her up off the bed. She knelt between Simone’s legs and placed the dildo against the length of Simone’s lips as she leaned forward to fondle her breasts, her hips rocking slowly. The head of the dildo bounced up and down on top of Simone’s clit as Del’s body moved and Simone grew impatient.
“Fuck me, Del,” Simone said.
Del’s fingers parted Simone’s lips and she inserted the head of the dildo. It moved easily through Simone’s wetness as she penetrated her with the full length. Del used her hands under Simone’s knees to spread her legs open as she began to slowly withdraw from Simone’s body. Del pushed forward, driving it deep inside Simone’s body. Faster and faster she thrust into Simone’s body as the bed rocked wildly. Del slowed her movements as she moved Simone’s body to the edge of the bed and she could stand at the foot of the bed.
Simone tossed her head back with rapture and said, “Yes, that’s it fuck me Levi.”
Even lost in the oblivion of passion, Del caught the use of Levi’s name. How dare Simone call out anyone’s name but hers as she was being fucked? Del’s rage flowed through her hips as she brutally thrust into Simone.
“You want it baby?” Del asked, the sweat pouring down her chest.
“Yes, Del, give it to me,” Simone said as her body writhed on the bed.
Simone’s hand moved down to stroke across her clit as Del continued to pound into her body.
“Oh God yes,” Simone screamed as her orgasm flowed through her body.
Del grunted and her body shuddered as she reached her climax buried deeply inside Simone.
Del withdrew from Simone and reached for several pillows. “Roll over,” she growled.
Simone was excited by the feral look in Del’s eyes and rolled onto her stomach padding her injured shoulder with a pile of pillows.
“Draw your knees up under you,” Del said, perfectly in control of Simone’s will.
Simone tucked her knees under her body as Del, spread her legs wide and her fingers entered her body. “Still so nice and wet,” she said.
Del guided the dildo past Simone’s quivering lips and she grabbed her hips as she began to fuck Simone, slow and deliberately at first and then harder as Simone began to howl in pleasure.
“Yes, yes, yes,” Simone chanted as her orgasm approached and Del thrust roughly into her body.
Simone collapsed onto the bed as Del withdrew from her body and loosened the strap on the harness as she walked around the bed. She picked up her glass of champagne and sat down in the oversized chair next to Simone’s bed.
Simone sat up on the bed, her body still flushed with pleasure and she smiled at Del. She picked up her glass of champagne and walked over to stand in front of Del. She touched her glass to Del’s. “That was incredible,” she said with a grin as she knelt down in front of Del and leaned against her leg for support.
Del was still breathing hard from the exertion and every breath she took made the dildo wiggle in front of Simone’s face.
Simone reached up and took the shaft in her hand. It was still slick from her juices and moved smoothly. The straps of the harness rubbed against Del’s clit each time Simone moved her hand and Del drained her glass. She stood up and offered a hand to Simone and they walked back to the bed.
She tightened the strap on the harness and then lay down on her back on the bed. Simone smiled wickedly and placed her glass on the table.
She climbed onto the bed and straddled Del’s hips. Del guided the dildo into her opening then placed her hand under the base as Simone lowered her body onto the toy. Simone rode Del’s body as the toy claimed the last ounce of lust filled energy in her body and she collapsed onto Del’s chest.
Del guided her onto her back and went to the bathroom to remove the harness. When she returned to the bedroom, she climbed into the bed beside a sleeping Simone and collapsed.
PART FOUR
Levi and Vanessa met Killian and the other staff in the hot tub and soaked while they drank a few beers and talked about the trip home with Vanessa. Several of the staff teased Killian about being so nervous, but followed their chiding with high praise.
“Killian will make an excellent Captain one day very soon,” Vanessa said.
“Not if it means leaving the Sappho,” Killian said. “I could not bear to leave her.”
“I would never ask you to,” Vanessa said.
All heads turned toward Vanessa in surprise.
“Is there something we should know then Captain?” Killian asked.
“Not that I am aware of,” Vanessa said. “I hope to be here for a little while yet.”
“Well don’t give us a scare like that,” Killian said with a grin.
“It isn’t completely out of the question for a ship to have two Captains you know,” Vanessa said. “I am not getting any younger either.”
“Oh, that’s right, I forgot you were such an ancient,” Killian teased. “You will be a whole, what thirty years old next month?”
“Next month?” Levi asked.
“Yes ma’am, July twentieth to be exact,” Killian said.
Levi calculated the dates in her head as she soaked quietly. “If my math is correct you will be at the resort then.”
Killian thought for a second. “I do believe you are right Levi.”
Levi laid her head back on Vanessa’s shoulder as she began to think. She must come up with something very special for Vanessa’s birthday and she only had a few weeks to plan. She would have to work with Killian to create something very special for her.
Levi was completely relaxed as the hot water soothed her body and she felt her head nodding on Vanessa’s shoulder. She didn’t realize her eyes had closed until Vanessa whispered in her ear.
“I think it’s time we said goodnight, Levi.”
Levi jumped with surprise. “I drifted off on you didn’t I?” she asked.
“Yes, Love, I am afraid you did,” Vanessa said with a warm smile. “I think we should head back to the cabin now and call it a night.”
“Goodnight ladies,” Levi said as she stood and climbed out of the tub after Vanessa.
“We will see you two tomorrow,” Killian said.
Vanessa and Levi walked back to her cabin and Vanessa could see the weariness in Levi’s eyes. Her body was completely relaxed and the drama and trauma of the past few weeks had finally caught up with Levi.
When they entered the cabin they stripped out of their suits and rinsed their bodies in the shower before they climbed into bed. Vanessa held Levi in her arms as they snuggled and she used her fingertips to push Levi’s bangs from her forehead. She leaned down and softly kissed Levi’s closed eyelids and lips.
