Depths of Desire

My husband parked the car in the parking lot close to the terminal at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. I could see him checking his watch again, he always checked his watch. I knew that we still had plenty of time to make the departure, it was late afternoon and the boat wouldn’t be departing until early evening. He hurriedly got out of the car and walked briskly over to the passenger side to open the door for me. I just looked up at my husband, smiled and casually got out of the car.   It was hot and I could feel that the air was thick and humid. I thought the best way to deal with the heat would be to fan myself with my hand. I waved it in front of my face, but it really didn’t have the desired affect that I was aiming for. My skin was now sticky from the sweat, I was sure my make-up was starting to run.    I glimpsed over to the port, seeing the cruise ship ‘Boundless Ocean’ for the first time. The sun created breath-taking shadows over the white exterior of the boat. I could see that a long queue of eager passengers had already begun to form at the gangway. I glanced over to my husband, “Steven, I can’t believe after all these years we’re going on a cruise. To think in just a couple of hours we are going to be sailing”. Steven replied “Yeah, it’s just what we need love. We can put the last year out of our minds. Focus on us”. He closed my car door and strolled to the trunk and removed our luggage.   We made the short journey through the parking lot and walked over to the check-in desk. After checking our documents, the desk clerk passed us our boarding cards and room keys. We coolly strolled over to join the line of people waiting to embark. The queue moved slowly, finally we were able to board. A man in white suit welcomed us onto the ship. He handed us a small map and directed us to our room. “Well” I said looking at the room key, “Here we are, room 147”.             I swiped the key through the door lock, it clicked, and swung open. The room was stunning, there was no doubt about that. A lovely queen size bed, all white linen. A separate bathroom, with a roll top bath. The room seemed to have all of the ‘mod cons’ one would expect.  I called out to Steven, by now I was giddy with excitement “Oh my. It has a bath, what luxury. We must do this more often. This room is simply divine”. I heard him grunt an acknowledgement. I came out from the bathroom and saw that he had seated himself on the bed. He was flicking through a magazine.   “Come on. Let’s unpack our things? We can freshen up and explore, if you want?” I said eagerly. I gave him a gentle tap on his shoulder, and with that he stood up. We quickly unpacked our belongings and put our clothes in the wardrobes provided. I turned on the shower, got out of my travelling clothes and stepped into the hot water. I felt instant relief from the humid stickiness. I hurriedly washed myself, I desperately wanted to explore the ship. Pulling the towel from the peg, I wrapped it around my self and walked back into the bedroom. “Are you having one too?” I asked, “It’s pretty hot though, you might want to have it a bit cooler”. Steven nodded to me, I guess that means he’s having one too. He stripped in front of me. His body was well defined now, he had been going to the gym every other day. I liked what I saw, I gave him a smile, just so he knew that I appreciated him. I kept my eyes on him as he wandered to the bathroom to shower. My eyes were instantly drawn to his ass, it was cute. I could see him cleaning his toned body from where I was seated. I ached for him, I needed his attention, I wanted him to touch me like he used to do. My mind wandered, remembering his touch. My p***y moistened with my thoughts. I slid my hand over one my breasts and tweaked at my n****e, gently pulling at it. Twisting the nub of skin in between my thumb and forefinger. My other hand wandered to my slit, moistening my finger with my wetness, I touched my c******s. As I stared at my husband’s ass, the way the bubbles foamed on it and the way his hands caressed his own buttocks, I rubbed harder and faster. My c******s was now swollen and standing to attention, the little nub was sending tingles throughout my body. I bit hard on my own lip to stop any noise from exiting my mouth. I came swiftly and hard and collapsed back on to the bed. I gave myself a few moments and sat back up. I couldn’t decide what I was going to wear, I had a choice of a knee length, pink cocktail dress, or a longer cocktail dress which was floral. I hated these decisions. I called out to Steven “Which dress do you think I should wear honey? I’ve got a pink one or a flowery one”. He shouted back “The pink one. I think it’ll look great on you”.   I had my choice made for me. I got dressed and fixed my make-up. Steven came out of the bathroom and put a blue oxford shirt on with some black trousers. Once we were ready, I grabbed my purse and made for the door. This was it, the start of our cruise. We were finally ready to set sail.   We made our way through the corridor to the centre of the ship. I saw the casino bar and tugged on Steven’s shirt. I really fancied a few cocktails, and this bar had it all. I noticed that all the waiters and waitresses were extremely beautiful. I ordered a John Collins for Steven and I ordered a Gin Sling. It tasted perfect.             “Can’t we gamble yet? I’d love to play black jack” I said to Steven, noticing the game tables were closed. “No. They won’t open them up until we’re in international waters. Probably be a few more hours yet”.                  We moved away from the bar and found a comfy couch by the window with a nice view. Steven checked his watch again. I put my hand on the top of it.             “Don’t keep checking. Look, why don’t you take it off. Just relax baby okay”. He shrugged his shoulders and looked out of the window. I noticed our drinks were finished and called a waiter over. A young man approached our table, I couldn’t help myself and smiled at him.             “Yes mam. How can I help?” he said pleasantly cheerful. “Hi. Yes, erm can I have a John Collins, no ice and erm make me something special” I said playfully giving the young man a teasing wink.             Steven had noticed and shot me look, “Don’t start that again Bree. I thought we were supposed to be reacquainting ourselves. Don’t f*****g ruin this okay!”. “Hey don’t be mad. I was only playing with him. Jesus!”.             The young man brought our drinks over, I smiled and said thanks, Steven muttered something under his breath.             “Come on Steven. Please don’t, we haven’t even set sail yet. I promise to curb it. I promise”. He put his hand on mine and gently squeezed. I knew it would be difficult for him to let go of the Tyrone affair. If he wanted to move on from it, he would have to trust me. I couldn’t help the fact that I was a big tease. His eyes locked onto mine, I could see he did not trust me yet, there was pain behind his stare.   The ship’s Tannoy system crackled and a voice came over “Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is your Captain speaking. We shall be setting sail in 30 minutes. Visibility is good and the seas are going to be moderate. The Caribbean sun awaits us, so please do enjoy your cruise and if there are any problems, which I hope there won’t be, please do talk to one of my staff”.             I grinned at Steven, this was it. We picked up our drinks, stood up and walked to the stairs to lead to the deck. I wanted to watch as we left the dock. It was still warm outside, I rested on the railings taking in the view. Steven stood behind me and leant into me, he put an arm around me. I had a flurry of tingles as he kissed my ear. I turned to kiss him back and the ship lunged as I moved in. My head knocked into his nose.             Steven cried out in pain, his nose started to bleed. I picked up a serviette and held it to his nose. I tried to get him to go to the ship doctor. At first, he refused for me to get him help, I sat him down and asked him to lean forward. He pinched his nose tight. I tried to persuade him again, “I know you’re a doctor, but you haven’t got any first aid bits with you. Come on, I’ll take you to the ship’s doctor”. He shook his head, I pleaded again, finally he agreed to let me take him to the doctor and he slowly got to his feet.   We walked back down the stairs into the casino and made our way back through the many corridors. I was following the map that I had been given. I finally found the doctor’s office and headed to it. The door was closed. I knocked on the door and waited.             No one came to answer. I rapped my knuckles hard against it and a voice said, “Just a minute”.             I recognised the voice but couldn’t quite pin it to a face. Suddenly the door opened and there stood the doctor.
