The Cruise Companion - Tasha Pt. 02

The Cruise Companion - Tasha - Part II

Tasha's cruise companion, Mama Bear

By Aoife

A/N - This chapter is specifically dedicated to my friend and editor NICOLE2023. I didn't allow her to see it in advance as she has in my previous stories. She inspired me to add this chapter to the series.

This series features a Sapphic theme throughout and continues with our protagonist, Dr. Julie Anders. The series was initially posted in the Lesbian Sex category, though this chapter has a BDSM focus and does remain with a purely strong Sapphic theme.

If this style or subject matter isn't to your taste, I completely understand and appreciate you taking the time to stop by.

All characters, names, and events in this storyline are purely fictional. Any resemblance to real life is purely coincidental and unintentional.

Saturday - Before Embarkation

We were all fully dressed and ready for our trip. It was just past noon when we all piled into my SUV and drove to the airport. Our flight to Miami went without issues or delays. We arrived at the hotel and walked over to Biscayne Bay Area for a light dinner and drinks.

As we enjoyed one last glass of wine, I reminded Maddie that we would meet in the lobby for breakfast, if they wanted. Regardless if she and Claire joined us or not I wanted to leave for the port at 9:30.

I stood and took Tasha by the hand. We strolled a bit along the bay before heading to bed. Tonight we were going to cuddle, starting tomorrow I was going to shift that paradigm and have my way with her.

Embarkation - Sunday - At Sea

I woke up well before Tasha; I was still on academic time, my body clock not yet adjusted. I eased Tasha's arm from around my torso and slipped slowly from the bed. I opened the top flap of my suitcase where I had strategically packed what I wanted her to wear today.

The yellow floral lace chemise would display her figure and body perfectly for "Parade of Pets" later and would suffice for our casual dinner this evening. I pulled it out and laid it on top of our shared suitcase. It would do well under the button down blouse and shorts I had set aside for her.

I started my shower and as I washed my hair, I heard the soft 'whoosh' of the door being opened. Tasha pulled the shower curtain back and stepped in behind me.

"It is my duty Mama Bear to bathe you, I am sorry for sleeping late." Tasha whispered in my ear as she wrapped me in her arms, her breasts pressing softly into my back.

I turned in her arms allowing the water to spray my back and kissed her softly. I murmured in between our soft kisses. "No apology is needed. We hadn't set any rules but I am thrilled you joined me."

Tasha's touch was magical as she caressed my skin. The hotel's washcloth and body wash were acceptable. What thrilled me the most in having her shower with me was the care she took in washing my hair. I shivered as her nails lightly scraped my scalp. I shivered a second time as she pressed her firm breasts repeatedly against my back.

Begrudgingly breaking the thrilling and sensual shower, I kissed her cheek once more and shared that I wanted to be on time and that if we continued, I would definitely be late. With a final kiss and a nip at her ear I whispered. "Believe me tonight and tomorrow morning will be vastly different, my dearest. Now you shower and leave me a nice trimmed pussy to enjoy later."

Tasha's eyes widened. "Of course Mama Bear, as you want."

I stepped from the bathroom and dressed. Tasha wasn't far behind me. We were partway through our breakfast when Maddie and Claire joined us. I wanted to start things off on the right foot with this cruise. I spoke softly just for the three of them to hear.

"Tasha will be wearing her collar as we board, there will be no mistaking for others that she belongs to me and that she is in training. I suggest you do the same Maddie. Once given the approval, she will strip down from her shorts and blouse."

I felt her hand caress my thigh. "Oh thank you Mama Bear."

Maddie just winked. When we finished breakfast I stood taking Tasha by the hand making our way to the room. Precisely at 9:30 the four of us departed the hotel enroute to the port. The rideshare dropped us at the main entrance of the terminal. I tipped the porter as we were escorted through the check in process. It was strange not boarding with the suite guests as my recent cruises.

We boarded and before we knew it, we were seated at Park Cafe enjoying a salad for lunch. While seated, we made our way through the new video safety drill. Using the app we checked in the Promenade with our assigned section, 4E. Once cleared by the crew member, we made our way to the Solarium Bar for our first cocktail. Tasha was never but a short step away from me as Maddie had Claire close by.

When we arrived at the Solarium, the bar was packed. I hadn't expected that. I walked down the first flight of steps towards the lounge chairs which faced the front of the ship. I selected four seats in the front row looking straight forward. I was now at peace. My cruise could begin.

Before she sat, Tasha bent forward and asked me what she would order for me.

"Order us four tequila sunrises for us to start." I was firm in my statement. I watched as Tasha collected the Sail and Sign cards and made her way to the bar. In Tasha's absence, a waiter stopped by asking if we needed a drink. I smiled and shared that we were taken care of.

"Claire dearest, will assist Tasha?"

I smiled at Maddie who wholeheartedly agreed that it was time for her pet to pull her weight. When Claire walked away from Maddie, I sensed a tiny bit of tension at that moment.

I turned towards Maddie. "You need to know I asked Sabrina to move and bring Dawn with her to Philadelphia. I told her I would support them until they found jobs. I offered your old basement apartment to Dawn."

The smile seemed to droop from Maddie's face.

"I am sorry but I can't live without Sabrina any longer. I need her." I paused and then finished my thought. "You must know she will not leave Dawn in Colorado Springs. I do not mean anything negative towards you and Claire; it is just information for you. I am well aware your love didn't work out; again I hoped it would have. You and Claire do seem to be coming along well."

Her semi-smile returned slightly.

We chatted briefly as Tasha and Claire returned with our drinks. I could tell it wasn't her real smile; she was putting on the proper face for Claire.

Just after one o'clock, we finished our second drink and heard the announcement that our rooms were not open for us to go and enjoy.

I leaned over and whispered to Tasha, "Once in the room the only clothing you are permitted to wear is your collar. All clothing will be removed unless room service is coming." She smiled and thanked me. "Okay let's go get settled." Tasha stood and offered her hand to me assisting me in standing.

Three hours later as we sat on our balcony "dressed" in proper sail away attire as we left Miami. We had a nice time with drinks on our adjoining balconies laughing between the four of us. The cabin steward had already opened the partition which separated the two cabins.

As Miami disappeared in the distance, Tasha excused herself and walked inside. I thought nothing of it until she returned to the balcony. She carefully touched my shoulder causing me to turn. I smiled wide looking at her as she was stripped wearing only the posture collar I placed on her neck just a few hours ago.

This was going to be a wonderful cruise!

~~~

We heard the Cruise Director announce over the in-room and public area speakers that we were officially in International Waters and the Bliss Cruise was permitted to commence. Tasha stood and made her way back into the cabin from the balcony. When she returned she held her leash in hand and placed the loop in my hand.

"Mama Bear, would you be so kind as to take me for a stroll in preparation for the Parade of Pets? I would like to ensure I am properly prepared for the parade. From there we can dine to your liking."

I stood. "Tasha, let's put your yellow camisole and panties set on for the parade and dinner this evening." I kissed her cheek.

I clipped the leash onto Tasha's collar. I tugged it slightly, pulling her gently to my side. "When we are out of this room and when this leash is on you will speak when spoken to by me, your Mama Bear only. Others will communicate through me."

Tasha nodded as best as she could with the high posture collar stopping her movement. "I want you to repeat this word, kiwi."

Tasha spoke softly. "Kiwi, Mama Bear."

"Good girl that is our safe word. When it is too much you will speak and say Kiwi without hesitation. I will then know it is time to stop immediately."

I turned and handed Tasha the camisole and panties for her to dress. "Here now dress for the evening.

"Of course Mama Bear. Then may we go to the parade? It is to start on the Royal Promenade." Tasha smiled.

"Of course, let's." I turned and with Tasha in tow, we made our way out of the cabin down the hall to the elevator.

We strode the Promenade slowly walking past the On-Air lounge and past the shops. Near the end of the Promenade is where several pets were gathering to start the parade. I could see the joy in Tasha's eyes. I stopped and held her close. I kissed her cheek and cupped her bum with my hand.

"Go and mingle, I want to watch you from afar. I look forward to being proud of you as you stroll for all to see."

I turned my cheek allowing her to kiss me and walked over to sit near the English Pub. I smiled when I saw Maddie and Claire walking this way. Claire seemed to not be participating in the parade. I caught their attention. They both smiled seeing me and turned slightly walking this way.

Two of the Bliss staff members, James and Champagne, stood on the platform at the edge of the Promenade and welcomed us to a week of pleasure, discreet and intimate enjoyment on the high seas. There was a splattering of applause and a few whoops and hollers.

They then announced that the "Parade of Pets" would start soon and then covered the rules. No one was to be touched and once each pet walked the oval of the Promenade, they would stop at the desk and receive a wristband. The colors were red, yellow and black.

A red wristband indicated that the pet was off limits, not to be touched by others. The yellow indicated the other party could ask the Master or Mistress. The black wristband indicated that the pet was freely open for touching except in the genital areas. I was certain that Tasha would choose properly, and ask for a red wristband.

I watched as Tasha walked with the pets, her heels accentuated her firm calves and toned ass. She smiled as she walked past the three of us. Tasha paused and waved asking Claire to join her but she shook her head no.

That didn't deter Tasha, she continued. As she completed her oval walk she returned to us, she was proudly displaying a red wristband noting she was off limits for others to touch her.

Tasha reached out her hands to help me up, and I took them with a grin. Turning to Maddie and Claire, I announced, "We'll see you at dinner. I'm taking my pet for a walk." With a playful wink, I clipped the leash onto her collar, and together we strolled out of the Promenade, stepping through the double doors onto the track. The crisp fall air mixed with the salty Atlantic breeze as our ship sailed south, making for a perfect evening walk.

An hour later, we were back at the dinner table with Maddie and Claire. But the moment I laid eyes on Claire, my curiosity piqued, well, more like my eyebrows shot up. Or, rather, they would have if I weren't so composed. Let's just say her outfit, or lack thereof, was... intriguing. A delicate black lace bra, a collar, and what I could only assume was a g-string, given the thin string peeking out at her hip. Instead of her usual playful smile, she wore a slight pout, like a cat whose nap had been rudely interrupted.

Before taking my seat, I leaned in to kiss Maddie's cheek in greeting, and then did the same to Claire. The moment my lips brushed her cheek, I felt her shiver. Oh? Now this is getting interesting.

"Good evening girls!" I spoke as Tasha pulled out my chair and I sat. "It seems dearest Claire there is something troubling you. Maddie, may I inquire as to the shiver when I kissed her cheek?" I winked at Maddie.

"Well, pet gave me a bit of an attitude when dressing her." She paused and looked at her. "I wanted her in a nice bright pink but she was being cross and her ass received what it deserved." She smiled.

I glanced at Claire whose lips curled as if she was going to verbally bite back, I couldn't resist.

"Claire dear, are you alright?" I winked at her.

"Yes Jules, it's the wider than normal plug in my ass and the sting from her hand which has me slightly uncomfortable."

Claire looked at Maddie who just shrugged her shoulders while smiling. All were saved as our assistant waiter arrived with bread and then water. When the waiter arrived I ordered a bottle of Chianti for our meals.

After dinner we settled in the Pub for some live music and then went to the Welcome Aboard show. I was thrilled just being back on a ship at sea and headed to the Caribbean.

We found nice seats for then Welcome Abound show down in the lower sections. It was during the show that Tasha leaned over and whispered in my ear.

"Miss, would you allow this pet to rest her head on your shoulder?"

I turned to her and smiled. "Of course dear." It was comforting when she snuggled up next to me.

After the show I whispered in Maddie's ear that I was going to spend some time with Tasha on the balcony and would see her and Claire in the morning for breakfast, if they wanted to join us.

We waited for most of the couples to leave the theater and then Tasha and I made our way to our cabin for a relaxing evening together. I had high hopes for an enjoyable evening based on how she enjoyed resting her head on my shoulder during the show.

Tasha unlocked the door and stood to the side as I entered our cabin. I grabbed a towel from the bathroom and then a pillow from the couch. I walked over to the balcony door and opened it. I dropped the towel on the chair and the pillow on the balcony floor and turned Tasha.

"Come here dearest. I want to remove your collar for the evening."

When I removed it I handed it to her then spoke. "Place it on the counter then come undress me. We will enjoy the evening air together with you curling at my feet."

The smile which crossed her face was nearly indescribable as her nimble fingers unbuttoned my blouse, slipping it over my shoulders and down my arms. Tasha then moved behind me and unfastened the claps of my bra. Her fingers glided across my skin. She paused momentarily and looked into my eyes.

I nodded. Tasha smiled and her lips met my shoulder kissing my skin softly. Her soft kisses continued across my skin and down circling my right breast. Then they trailed down my torso to my navel. As she knelt, her finger found the clasp and zipper of my slacks.

She eased them down with grace and with an erotic touch I hadn't had in such a long time. Her nose trailed her lips and fingertips as her thumbs hooked into the sides of my bikini panties, pulling them down slowly.

As my slacks pooled at my feet, she looked at me again with a desire in her eyes.

"What is it you seek?"

"Mama Bear, I beg your satisfaction. I beg to fulfill your womanly needs always."

I placed my hand on her shoulder to steady myself. I wanted to teach her restraint and control. I lifted my left foot off the ground. Tasha didn't hesitate; she slid my slacks off my leg. I switched my feet and positioning. Once I was naked I reached down and lifted her chin with slight pressure lifting her head upwards to meet my eyes.

"In time. I am conflicted, my dear. Hang those and join me on the balcony."

I walked out to the balcony and opened the towel onto the chair and then sat curling my right leg under my bum. In doing so, I slightly closed access to my womanhood.

I was surprised to see the partition was closed. I knew this was at Claire's request.

Damnit, I was struggling with my desires. The young woman in my cabin nearly begged to attend to my needs but my mind is rejecting her out of love for Sabrina.

I was pulled from my daydream and confusion when I felt her fingers touch my skin as she spread out a towel and knelt on the pillow curling up at my feet. She rested her head against my thigh. Her hands were clasped in front of her.

The absolute beauty of this image wasn't lost on me. Nor was it wasted. Instinctively, I lowered my hand and laid it on her shoulder teasing her neck and caressing her skin.

We sat in silence until I heard the door to my right open. I heard Maddie and Claire whispering. I couldn't make it out fully. I turned and looked down at Tasha and placed my finger to her lips and then to mine indicating pure silence.

We both looked out at the moonlit evening, just enjoying this time alone. I smiled wide when I heard the soft sounds of kissing and the hum of two lovers enjoying the evening air.

Moments later as the kisses seemed more assertive and demanding, I heard the lovers moan and hum with desire. I smiled wider then I heard a slight gasp and then the exhale of a high pitched moan. "Oh yes Miss Maddie please take this one."

I slowly shifted my right leg bringing it down from under my bum and placed my foot on the ground. I placed my right hand around Tasha's chin and turned her head slightly and lifted it making eye to eye contact.

Thankful for the dim light glowing in the moonlit sky and the illuminated cabin behind us I was certain Tasha could see well enough. Without any words I pointed my right index finger to the space on the floor between my now spread legs. I then pointed to my womanhood and then placed my finger over my lips again indicating silence.

Tasha stood and moved slowly and placed the pillow between my open legs. As she knelt, I heard the crack of a hip or ass being smacked. Then I heard the sensual moan from my right but this time it was nearly a grunt.

"Take it, pet!" Maddie spoke. "Take my girlcock Dawn!"

Crack Crack Crack three slaps in succession.

I nearly screamed as I heard Claire squeal "Dawn?"

"What the fuck Maddie?" Claire screamed.

All I heard then was the commotion and then the sound of the balcony door closing.

I looked down and slid my fingers through the curls of Tasha's hair as her lips kissed around my clit. I inhaled sharply as her tongue flicked across my clit.

I almost stopped her from the ruckus I heard from Maddie and Claire but Tasha felt so damned amazing.

Tasha's mouth closed around my clit, sucking it gently. Her tongue swirled in a figure eight, stimulating me even more. I gripped her hair and arched my hips pushing into her face.

I felt the suction of Tasha's lips on my clit. I felt her tongue swirling and then flicking my clit.

I was getting off on this suddenly I felt that oh so loving and satisfying rumble in my core. Goodness this was fast. No! This was sexual, this was erotic, and this was kinky! It was the first time I could barely handle this thrill. It was purely over the top.

I lost all control and screamed "Gawwd Tasha I am cumming!"

"Oh fuck Tasha I am cumming don't stop!"

When I came down from my orgasm I reached for Tasha's hand and as she stood, she assisted me in standing. I kissed her deeply, tasting myself on her lips and then whispered that we should go inside and shower and cuddle in bed.

I finished my shower and toweled off then walked from the bathroom to the cabin curling up in bed. I smiled as Tasha laid her head on my chest, her lips kissing my neck once more wishing me sweet dreams.

Monday - At Sea

The sun rose slightly and I felt the soft kisses of Tasha's lips covering my torso and stomach.

"Hmm Tasha dear, be sweet and stop teasing me. Come here and kiss me."

The little tease kissed her way up my body, licking my nipples for good measure. She came to rest her head on my chest and wrapped her arms around me.

"Tasha dearest, what is it you want moving forward?" I paused. "Do you know what you want in a relationship?"

"I am not sure Mama Bear, I know I want a strong woman to take me and I want to give her whatever she wants."

"Hmm isn't that what every woman wants? Love and companionship?" I murmured letting those thoughts swirl in my mind.

It was then that our cabin phone rang. Tasha answered it. I could see her smiling widely, "Thank you." She hung up the phone and then made her way from bed.

She pulled on a camisole and retrieved one for me, placing it on the bed next to me. She then went and opened the balcony door letting the warm breeze float into the cabin. The knock at the door confirmed what this mischievous girl had done. She ordered a continental breakfast to be delivered for us.

I sat on the deck chair with the sun rising in the sky. Tasha seemed thrilled curled up at my feet, a pillow still on the balcony floor, her head in my lap. My fingers teased at her curled hair as she laid her head on my lap.

"We are at sea all day. Any thoughts on what activities you would enjoy?" I asked.

Tasha smiled and turned her head slightly looking up at me. "Mama Bear, this is perfectly fine or you could lead me around dressed in near nothing letting others see what you have."

Her statement immediately made me pause. Before I could say anything she looked up at me. "Forgive me Mama Bear, there is a distinct comfort being around you." She turned her head kissing my thigh. "I haven't slept so well in a long time. So yes, please lead me by the leash."

I smiled wide, feeling a sense of excitement. It was the morning of the second day and this young lady was at my feet. "So wear your white lace bralette and panties, you can wear your white sandals. We can enjoy some relaxation in the Solarium, cocktails near the hot tub and a light lunch in between."

"And later," I leaned down and whispered in her ear, "We can attend the session in Blaze where they are having a talk on edging pets and lovers."

Tasha smiled wider and relaxed even more with me. There was a comfort with Tasha being with me. I felt like asking even more questions but waited, I wanted this moment as it is.

We had finished our light breakfast and our coffee, the sun was rising beautifully requiring us to need our sunglasses which Tasha ran inside got for us.

Tasha sat back her head in my lap and curled against me again. I asked about her comfort. She turned her head and smiled looking up at me affirming she was perfectly fine.

A few moments later, I felt her shifting her body slightly, I looked down to see her squirming some, "Tasha dearest, what is it?"

"I am embarrassed Mama Bear." She was squirming.

"Tasha dearest?" I asked.

"Mama Bear." Her breathing changed and she was squirming more. It was then I realized her hand was between her thighs. "I need this and can't control myself."

I leaned forward and egged her on. "Do it Tasha, show me Tasha, cum on your fingers and the pillow. At my feet cum, cum for Mama Bear, give me your sex and the orgasm as you want."

I caressed her skin with my hand as I bent over coaxing her along with her fantasy and love. It was a few seconds later when her head turned in my lap from side to side. Her breathing grew erratic and heavy.

"Yes my dearest fulfill your wants here at my feet, give your orgasm to me." I spoke with a firm voice as her moans were quieted while her lips were now buried in my lap.

Her warm breath spurred on my wetness, the intimacy of this young woman cumming at my feet sent my mind spinning with erotic thoughts and with ideas unspoken or ever considered.

A final slight squeal erupted from her as I watched her trembling with sexual satisfaction.

My fingers never left her skin during this wonderful moment. I waited for her. I needed this for her. She had been in such pain as of late in her life, I wanted to see her desires come to life.

Tasha looked up at me twisting her body strangely and smiled sheepishly.

"Tasha, you can always request something from me while we are here on this cruise, I have not set limitations." I paused for a moment considering my statement but then finished.

"In fact I think I should impose restrictions." I curled my fingers in her hair. "Isn't that what you seek and what you need? Tell me you want to give me full control?"

She smiled wide and again buried her head in my womanhood hiding the giddiness of her desires. I then heard the muffled sounds. "Please Mama Bear own me."

I was gentle when I moved my fingers under her chin and softly turned her head upwards to look at me.

"Let's go shower, separately of course, that tiny shower won't due and then have a very private and honest conversation." She smiled. "Would you want that Tasha?

She smiled wide, "Please Mama Bear"

Tasha stepped from the bathroom, her shower finished. She stepped towards me and came to place her hands behind her head; her elbows were out wide to the side. She spread her legs open as wide as her shoulders. I turned and looked up at her as I sat at the vanity finishing my makeup.

"Mama Bear, I present myself for you to inspect. I have trimmed, shaven and cleansed your pet."

I turned in my chair looking back in my mirror and continued my makeup. Tasha stood still not moving. In the next three minutes I finished, I turned off the light, zipped my makeup case closed and then turned off the vanity mirror.

"Step back please." Tasha stepped back offering me the space I needed. I rose and opened the closet door picking out my top for our breakfast. When I finished dressing I turned and placed my right hand on her shoulder.

"In the future, you may stand with your arms down, hands clasped behind your back at your waist. "

I ran my fingers down her spine to her ass which I circled and caressed her skin. I slid my hand down her firm cheeks and felt her heat and wetness. I moaned as my fingers slid between her folds.

I brought my left hand down her chest around her breasts and down to the neatly trimmed tuft of pubic hair. I opened my fingers in a wide V and drew them down the front of her vulva.

I kissed her ear and whispered, "Perfect my pet. Let's get your collar on and go to the restaurant.

Our light breakfast was more of a brunch and it was wonderful. Tasha and I finished our last cup of coffee when we saw Maddie and Claire walk in. I notice a slight shift in their body movements and their eye contact. Their words weren't as plentiful but as they sat, we enjoyed a brief conversation.

It was suddenly that Claire whispered to Maddie and she nodded. "Tasha dear, would you join me in the ladies room for a moment?"

Claire stood as did Tasha walking out of the restaurant.

Maddie immediately turned to me and I could see the tears pouring from her eyes. She covered her face as well as her embarrassment.

"Mom?" She blubbered through the tears. "I am a relationship failure."

I stood carefully and knelt near her and whispered in her ear that we should step out and find some privacy. We stood then made our way out to the deck. Knowing this ship rather well, I knew exactly where a nice quiet nook would be for her to talk it out.

We walked away and found ourselves in the back of the ship where there are several chairs. Once she calmed down and slowed her shameful tears, I listened.

My dearest daughter sobbed some, going on and on about how while in the throes of passion she called her current girlfriend her previous girlfriends name. She went on to say how the facade of her trying to be this Mistress was just unbearable and not something she truly wanted.

She was trying to fulfil the needs of her girlfriend but ignored those of her own, the cruise was nice but the style wasn't what her dreams are.

She wanted a mutually supportive partner, one who was her equal, one not so demanding in their career, she wanted a woman to be with her not always vying for the next step up in their career.

We spoke for about twenty minutes when her tummy rumbled. "Let's get you and your girlfriend some food. I have a feeling Tasha is working on that already."

We stood and held each other tight. It was then I looked in her eyes and slightly frowned.

"I am sorry I should have never told you about my conversation with Sabrina. I just wanted you to know."

"Mom, honestly Claire is my rebound from Dawn; I truly miss her so much." She smiled brightly. "This isn't the first time I have been thinking of her."

We walked inside but paused, stopping short of the elevator. Maddie turned and hugged me. "Mom, I think I am still in love with Dawn."

I hugged her until she calmed down. We made our way to our cabins, I just had a feeling. I opened my cabin door to see Tasha and Claire sitting on the balcony. They were talking and I could see that Claire had been crying.

As I expected, there were a few plates of assorted fruits and pastries on the table. Maddie was the brave one,

"Claire?" She walked out to the balcony. "Can we talk? Can we pack our stuff and find somewhere on the deck to just be alone and talk please?"

She nodded in agreement.

As mine and Tasha's cabin door closed, Tasha approached me and wrapped her arms around me. "Mama Bear, I think they will be fine, just some cracks in the ice between them, nothing unrepairable."

I smiled. "Good, let's go to the Solarium. I need some sun and a bit of my pet playtime."

Tuesday - A Private Beach

Tasha and I returned to the ship after an amazing day on the private beach. We had lounged all day under a nice wide palapa and absolutely enjoyed the bar service. It was nearly a perfect day!

Now it didn't hurt that the female bartender had the ability to view my dear Tasha and I was sunbathing topless as well. I mean seriously, what red blooded young woman wouldn't love to feast on the slender bodies of two women all day. ????

Tasha and I sat at our dinner table basking in the enjoyment we had at the private beach. We were excited that after dinner we would be heading to the show and then had agreed to attend a "drinks & chat" gathering in the Schooner Bar. There was promised to be some light background piano music as well. I was specifically excited to get there early. I wanted a nice seat.

I heard Tasha clear her throat which caused me to look up from the menu. My eyes opened wide to see Maddie leading Claire in by a leash but that wasn't the surprising sight. What Claire was wearing is what caught my attention; well then again, I think it caught most people's attention.

"Mama Bear, when we return, May I have one of those?" Tasha whispered into my ear and kissed my cheek. "Please?"

Claire pulled out the chair for Maddie allowing for her to sit and then slid the chair in allowing Maddie a comfortable position. When Claire sat, her prominently accentuated breasts became even more so revealing.

The five thin black leather straps which formed her bra held her breasts firm, her nipples, which were pulled through the brushed nickel metal circles completing the bra, looked tantalizing in their own right. The red dangling jewels which hung from her pierced nipples made the ensemble near perfect. They matched the earrings perfectly.

The bright red lipstick which covered Claire's lips matched exceptionally well. The leather skirt which really pulled attention away from her breasts was the dessert to the delectable meal Claire appeared to be.

I smiled as did Tasha. "Good evening Maddie, you and Claire look good enough together to be a meal as well." I winked at my daughter.

Maddie smiled. "Claire and I are really enjoying the cruise. Today at the beach was just what I think we needed." She smiled wide but Claire's face stayed frozen, her lips sealed.

I looked at her and seeing this I asked. "Claire dear, are you alright? You seem quieter than usual. Is something wrong?"

"No, all has been forgiven." She smiled but her voice was curt.

"Mother, it's fine let's move on with our evening shall we?" Maddie smiled as the Assistant Waiter brought them their water and menus.

I could tell something was off, but I smiled and we carried on with our dinner, which was pleasant. When we finished, I invited both Maddie and Claire to join us at the Schooner Bar. I was surprised when Claire declined, saying they had planned some alone time on the deck under the stars.

Tasha and I made our way to the bar, where a friendly young woman took our drink order. Soft piano music played in the background, creating a lovely atmosphere for the upcoming meet-and-greet. As my drink arrived, I caught sight of a strikingly beautiful and impeccably dressed cruise line employee stepping out from behind the bar.

Just seeing her back there was something incredibly familiar, though I couldn't quite place it. A moment later, she turned her head, and our eyes met.

Ivanka! Oh goodness, it was Ivanka!

Her smile widened, mirroring my own. I stood up immediately.

"One moment, Tasha. I'll be right back. Stay here." I said, leaving her momentarily as I walked toward the bar.

Ivanka stepped out from behind the counter and opened her arms in a warm embrace. The moment was magical.

"I'm still working, but it's good to see you! I had no idea you would be on this sailing," she said in her delightful accent.

I smiled. "It's a long story, but it's wonderful to see you again. Perhaps on my next cruise, I'll see you properly."

Ivanka smiled and nodded. We embraced once more before she returned to her duties. I sat back down with Tasha, still smiling at the memory of how kind Ivanka had been to Emma and me on our previous trip.

"She was the concierge on my last cruise," I explained. "She took care of everything I needed, sometimes before I even realized I needed it."

Tasha smiled knowingly. "But you have me for that now, Mama Bear, don't you?"

I leaned forward and whispered in her ear as she knelt dutifully at my feet, resting her head in my lap.

"I have you for that, and so much more now, my pet."

I kissed her cheek and sat up straight, basking in the warmth of her smile. As I did, I noticed two couples approaching; one female and one male. The younger partners wore collars. I smiled at the older two, who nodded as well. I invited them to have a seat if they were interested in joining us.

I looked down at Tasha, who smiled and winked.

I stood. "Hello, I'm Jules, and this is Tasha. Please, have a seat."

They introduced themselves, first Erik and his pet, Steven, then Mika and her pet, Zephyr. Mika's partner's name intrigued me, and as if sensing my curiosity, Mika explained:

"When I first saw her, Samantha, as she was known then, I was completely captivated by her beauty. We were both enjoying the summer air in Newport, watching the tall ships sail into Rhode Island. She was standing off to the side, and the wind caught her hair just right. It was breathtaking. I had to get to know her."

She turned to Zephyr, their eyes locking with warmth.

"Since collaring Samantha and renaming her Zephyr, she hasn't cut her hair; it serves as a reminder of the moment that brought us together."

I was moved by their love and commitment. Then Erik turned to me and asked how long Tasha and I had been together.

I hesitated. "Embarrassingly, only a few days," I admitted before nodding to Tasha. "Go ahead, dearest, tell them."

I sat back and listened as Tasha shared our story, how we met through a 'friend' and how I had rescued her. When she finished, she looked up at me with tears welling in her eyes.

"I can never thank you enough, Mama Bear. These have been the most incredible weeks of my life."

I couldn't resist. "Tasha, my dear, I promise there is so much more to come." And I meant it. Still, deep inside, I felt the lingering ache of longing for Sabrina.

As the event drew to a close, Erik commented that he had assumed Tasha and I had been together much longer, given how naturally we fit together. Glancing at my watch, I was surprised at how much time had passed.

I stood and held Tasha's leash firmly in my hand. "Mika, Erik, thank you for the wonderful conversation, but I'm taking my dearest for a stroll and then back to our cabin for a delightful session."

I tugged Tasha's leash lightly. She rose and followed a step behind me through the crowd and out onto the Boardwalk for some fresh air.

The night was pleasant, and as we strolled, I noticed several other couples enjoying the evening breeze. Leaning toward Tasha, I whispered, "I want to show you something special, a secret place I know."

We made our way inside, down a flight of stairs, and out onto the running track before heading toward the back of the ship.

To my delight, we found the space completely empty, a perfect, secluded spot to take in the night air and the ocean's endless horizon. Yet, I had more than just the view in mind.

Turning to Tasha, I kissed her deeply, our first real, passionate kiss. It felt as though it pulled us deeper into something unspoken, something profound. But she needed to know the truth. I owed her that much.

Pulling back, I gestured for her to sit in one of the lounge chairs. I took a seat beside her and held her hands in mine, looking deep into her eyes.

"Tasha, I have a few questions for you, but I don't want you to answer right now. I want you to think about them." I paused, making sure she understood. "Are my instructions clear? No answers yet."

"Yes, Miss Mama Bear. I understand."

I continued slowly. "Do you want me to take you as my pet?" Another pause. "Do you want to serve me?" I let the silence stretch a little longer.

"And if my lover, Sabrina, and her daughter move to Philadelphia with me and if Sabrina agrees, will you serve her as your Miss as well?" I squeezed her hands gently. "This is important. I will love and care for you as our pet, but only if Sabrina approves and we all come to an agreement."

I paused again, letting the weight of my words settle.

"Is this what you truly wish for?" I kissed her forehead. "We have much to consider in the coming days, but I will need your answer before we leave the ship."

Tasha hesitated before speaking softly. "Mama Bear? May this one ask a question?"

"Of course, dearest. Ask as many as you like."

"If this is agreed upon, may I sleep at your feet, on the bed? Loving you and Miss Sabrina and caring for you both as needed and desired?"

I smiled and hugged her tightly.

"Let's sit here for a little while and enjoy the fresh air," I murmured. "Then, I'm taking you to our cabin to enjoy you."

Tasha kissed me softly before kneeling at my feet, curling against my legs, and resting her head in my lap.

Wednesday - Sea Day

I woke with Tasha caressing my back; I had rolled over in the calm of my sleep sadly turning away from her. Yet the softness of her hands on my body spurned on more desire.

"Will breakfast be here soon my dearest pet?" I spoke softly in my sleepy voice.

"Yes Mama Bear, just as you asked last night. In time for us to watch the sun rise over the ocean." She kissed my back between my shoulder blades.

I rolled over wrapping her in my arms kissing her cheek.

I was struggling to not fall in love with Tasha, my heart was being saved for Sabrina but there was a special spot forming, and it was growing, growing for this young woman seeking so much more from me.

"Let's stay natural, I will use the bathroom, then wait on the balcony."

Tasha was quickly on her feet assisting me from the bed. I finished in the bathroom and came out into the main area of the cabin. I walked to the balcony to find a fresh towel on the chair, and one on the balcony floor with a pillow.

The knock on the cabin door alerted us to the continental breakfast we asked for along with coffee. Tasha returned and placed the tray on the small table. She handed me my coffee and then knelt on the floor curling at my feet.

As the sun rose above the horizon, we sat quietly enjoying the morning while enjoying a second cup of coffee.

I felt her head turn as Tasha gazed up at me. "Mama Bear, may I have you this morning, here on the balcony?"

I smiled wide. "Ohh dearest, there is something Mama Bear wants this morning. Now that we have had a bit of breakfast and are at sea all day, it is time for me to really take you and play with your body; as it is mine to do with. Isn't it?"

I didn't allow Tasha to answer. I stood and took her hand as her collar and leash hadn't been put on as of yet.

"Come pet" I was firm, I needed this and had been waiting for the proper moment; this was it.

I walked into the cabin and stood Tasha in front of the vanity. I picked up her collar. I affixed her collar to her neck and clipped her leash to it. Taking her leash, I tugged it slightly, leading her over to our bed.

I turned Tasha so that she was facing the bed. "Do you remember your safe word?"

"Yes Mama Bear, it is kiwi."

"Good pet. Mama Bear wants something from you this morning. On the bed face the balcony on your hands and knees my pet. I will be right back."

I watched as Tasha climbed on the bed, turning to face the balcony and the open sea. She came to rest on her hands and knees.

"Back straight, no sagging pet."

I turned and walked over to the drawer where I had unpacked her; my strapless girlcock.

"There are times when your Mama Bear has a need and a desire. This morning I will have you fulfill that need. I am certain that you will enjoy this."

I reached down and drew my feeldoe across my pussy and felt a shiver from my pussy right straight to my brain. "Yes girl, yes this morning I will have you as I wanted for some time now.'

I purposefully walked in front of Tasha so she could see my purple feeldoe. I slid the knob up and down my entrance. "Open your mouth."

Tasha's eyes were wide but she opened her mouth, her eyes never leaving mine.

I slowly drew the tip of my feeldoe across her bottom lip and then slowly teased her mouth, sliding just the tip into her mouth. I paused for a moment and pressed another inch in her mouth. I stepped closer to her and spread my legs.

"Yes Tasha, take my girlcock in your mouth and enjoy her knowing she will fill you soon" I pressed deeper. I moaned and licked my lips but wanted to see what her experience was. I pressed another inch slowly into her mouth.

"Oh yes Tasha, be a good pet and take it." I pressed forward another tiny bit but then I heard it as her eyes watered instantly.

"Kuh-wee"

I backed out seeing her gag and cough. My hands immediately stroked her face; I paused and bent down kissing her.

"Mama Bear was happy to know you can stand for yourself. I do not want to hurt you ever and that is the reason for our safe word dearest." I kissed her deeply.

"Please Mama Bear, I would like more. I never want to let you down." Tasha opened her mouth.

"Plaaahhs ama ar, plaaahhs" Her eyes had a wanton look in them.

I spread my legs wider and inserted the knob of my feeldoe into my pussy and shivered again. I stepped closer and placed the tip of it into her mouth. Tasha moved quicker than I could and tried to take more of it, backing away when she couldn't take more.

I caressed her cheek, "Slowly dear pet I do not want you to hurt yourself." but she continued almost forcing the feeldoe into her mouth. I heard her cough and saw her lunge gagging. I pulled back and let her calm down, catching her breath.

I bent down and kissed her lips; I was thrilled to see her saliva dripping from her mouth. It was erotic, kinky, and hot. I wanted more from her.

"It is time to make Mama Bear happy and as I take ownership of your body, claiming you as my Pet." I ran my hand from her cheek to her shoulder, never losing contact with her skin.

I knelt on the bed and while stroking her body from her shoulders to her back, I walked on my knees until I was behind her. I placed my left hand on her firm ass cheek and caressed it. With my right hand I held my girlcock and stroked in up and down across the entrance of her pussy.

"Your posture collar will have you keep your head straight." I pulled back and fed the tip of the feeldoe into her pussy.

The fingers of my right hand lightly scratched up her back to her right shoulder. I pressed my hips forward slightly easing my cock into her. I listened as her breath exited her lungs in a moan of pleasure.

I pressed further now with four of her six inches inside her. "Do you want more My pet?"

"Yes Mama Bear, I need you to take and make me yours Mama Bear."

I drew my hips back, not allowing the tip to leave her pussy. With my right hand firm on her shoulder and my left hand now grasping her hip I pressed my hips forward sliding half of the girlcock inside of her.

"Nuuaa" She moaned "Please Mama Bear take me, I will not say it I swear."

I pulled back and then pushed forward with a quick thrust of my hips but quickly backed away. I tugged at her shoulder as I heard her moaning for more. I thrust forward my hips and vulva slapped against her body. I sped the pace and started truly fucking Tasha, this wasn't making love, and I was fucking her.

I moved my hand from her shoulder and grabbed her hip and started a pace which even surprised me.

Tasha moaned and started begging my permission to cum. I didn't relent; I pressed harder, not stopping.

"Cum Tasha, cum on my girlcock solidifying that you belong to Mama Bear."

With that she squealed. Her head lowered as little as the posture collar would allow. I was quickly soaked as her nectar squirted from her wetting not only me but the bed.

It was then I knew I wanted her for as long as she would have me. This was My pet, My sexual plaything and she seemed to love it.

Seeing her squirting, feeling her body nearly go limp against mine and the vibrations of my girlcock drove me over the top as my body shook from a much smaller orgasm.

I fell against her, my breasts pressing into her back but she knelt there steadfastly supporting me. When I came down from my orgasm, I kissed her back. Just below her neck. Then it hit me. I needed just one more little thing from her.

I opened my mouth and with my teeth I gently scraped the skin of her back to her left shoulder. When I found the perfect spot, I closed my teeth slowly biting her skin; not to a point of pain just to a point on her feeling my firm bites.

"You are Mine, I take you Tasha pet for as long as you shall have me but more importantly as long as I shall want you."

"Yes Mama Bear; Yes!"

We lovingly collapsed onto our sides allowing the feeldoe to slip from her body and mine. I held Tasha tightly in my arms and as she turned towards me, the tears from her eyes made me fully aware of the joy which was in her soul and her heart.

"Yes Mama Bear, I will gladly and fully serve you and Miss Sabrina should she have me as well; I will fully live as you wish, however you see this one as part of your lives."

I pulled her into my arms and held her tight, allowing our eyes to close for a soft and positive moment together.

I whispered to her "When we return, there is much to discuss but yes I am thrilled you are Mine."

~~~

After a beautiful day at sea we happily anticipated the '70s themed dance party that evening. The event was being held in Studio B, where the ice rink would be transformed into a vibrant dance floor filled with music and laughter.

Maddie and Claire decided to leave part way through. Maddie whispered she was in a wonderfully loving and sexy mood and offered her apologies in advance if they were too noisy.

I smiled and winked telling her to go have the time of her life.

Later that evening when Tasha and I returned to the cabin, we heard muffled noises but then a good amount of laughter and of course the sounds of fun love.

I kissed Tasha deeply and let her know that I was going to shower and she would join me on the balcony after she had.

Later we sat on the balcony, listening to the ocean waves, watching the moon light bounce off the ocean, Tasha curled at my feet, her now comfortable and comforting head on my lap. I listened to her purr as we took in the evening, seeming like it was just the two of us.

I was brought out of my trance when I felt her kiss my naked thighs and say. "Mama Bear I know you love her more than me and I mean not to replace her, but this is where I always want to be."

Thursday - In Port

Thursday morning began with a sweet, dreamy wake-up which included soft lips pressing a kiss to my forehead.

"Mama Bear, breakfast will be here soon." Another tender kiss followed. "Shall I dress, or remain as you prefer natural?"

A playful smile spread across my face. "Stay just as you are."

I turned to meet Tasha's warm gaze, and we shared a lingering, sleepy kiss. Just then 'knock, knock' room service.

With a grin, I sprang up and dashed to the bathroom, excitement bubbling for the day ahead.

When I came out of the bathroom, I saw the room steward, who had brought our breakfast still on the balcony with Tasha. I held back for a moment just curious as to what was transpiring. I saw them both smile but was shocked to the core when I saw the room steward put her hand on Tasha's hip.

I immediately stepped forward into the center of the cabin and cleared my throat. "That will be all you may leave now." I spoke with a firm and rather louder than normal tone in my voice.

Both Tasha and the room steward turned quickly. Tasha lowered her head in embarrassment as the steward tried to step past me.

Looking into her eyes I said. "I will be certain to share with the concierge that you enjoyed taking a liberty with my cabin mate when I make my way downstairs, Rebekah." I took notice of her name plate.

She offered a felting murmur of an excuse as she apologized stepping out of the cabin. When the cabin door closed, I turned my attention to Tasha.

"I mean so little to you that when I am in the bathroom; you stand there, naked and smiling, seemingly flirting with another woman? Let alone allow her hand on your hip!" I was purposefully harsh, my words biting at her.

Tasha stepped forward from the balcony into the cabin and started to offer reasoning or an excuse.

"Hush, I will have none of this!" I pointed to the corner wall nearest the balcony door, where the curtain had remained drawn.

"You thought so little of me that behind my back you... "

I paused, I was flustered. "If you were truly mine, which I see you have no devotion to me at all based on what I just witnessed, you would be punished, spanked and sent to that corner for as long as I see fit."

I felt ashamed that I would let this happen. It was all happening too fast. "I'll dress and find my own breakfast. You can enjoy the food the flirting steward delivered.

I spoke with harshness in my voice. "While I am gone maybe we both reconsider and rethink this... this arrangement of ours."

I turned to find a pair of panties, shorts and a shirt. I didn't say a word as I stepped back into the bathroom to shower and dress. I came out of the bathroom with a huff of frustration and a slight bit of guilt; I never listened to Tasha.

When I stepped into the cabin to find my Sail and Sign card, I saw Tasha kneeling in the corner which I had pointed at earlier when speaking to her. Right then and there, that action sealed in my mind and seemingly in hers a guilty plea.

"Eat the food brought for you by your flirtatious girlfriend and do not leave this cabin. I will be back." I picked up my Sail and Sign card and walked out.

~~~

I made my way to the Solarium Bistro and found a quiet table in the back corner, one I was able to see everyone coming and going as they started their early morning or day. I sat for an hour maybe longer, staring at the now warm yogurt and fruit I selected from the small buffet that was set out.

My heart was shaken; Sabrina would never do anything like this to me. I felt a tear drip down my cheek realizing just how in love I was with her. I wiped the tear from my cheek and the others from my eyes just in time as a crew member offered to take my plate and bowl away if I was finished. I half smiled and nodded thanking him.

I was frustrated and sad but couldn't sit any longer. I stood and walked aimlessly around the ship as others had woken. I saw other couples wearing nearly nothing and some just enough to say they were dressed. I actually wandered down to the main pool area where Erik and his pet Steven caught my eye. They both waved; I returned the wave, half smiling back.

Eventually as I walked the main Promenade, the mature and logical side of my brain finally took over the emotional side; I made my way back to my cabin. I turned down the hallway to see Maddie and Claire walking out of their cabin. They looked to be "dressed" heading to the pool deck to catch some sun.

They both paused in the hallway. Maddie spoke first. "I heard her crying as we sat out on the balcony. Claire went around and had her come to the balcony."

She paused, I looked at Claire. Maddie continued. "Mom, you need to talk to her, she explained what happened, she did nothing wrong Mom. But you need to listen to her."

I looked at Maddie and was troubled enough to not reply but I did. "It doesn't matter Maddie, she isn't Sabrina." I pushed past them and made my way to the cabin.

I opened the cabin door to see her still kneeling facing the corner where she was when I left hours ago; she was still crying.

I took a deep breath and held back my emotions.

"Stand and come sit with me. I want to hear what happened but I saw what I saw; I saw you flirting with another woman and her hand on your naked hip."

Tasha stood and came over as I sat on the couch. When she knelt in front of me her tears continued but now they soaked my shorts. She had wrapped her arms as best she could around my waist and was mumbling.

"Dearest slow down, I am sorry but I can not understand you."

My hands immediately fell to her shoulders hugging her as best I could. I knew this was a huge mistake on my part. Tasha cried with her head buried in my lap for a few moments but as her tears slowed she held me tighter in her arms as she started to explain.

"Mama Bear, the first day she delivered our meal and you were in the bathroom, I was kind and smiled." There was a pause. "The next day she was complimentary, and the next..." Tasha hiccupped and exhaled harshly.

"Dearest, what is it?"

"Yesterday when she brought our food she told me she had been watching me when we were at the ships' private islands."

Tasha lifted her head and looked into my eyes. "Mama Bear this morning I was just being kind. She said she was going to take me away from you and show me what a real woman, a real Mistress is like."

Her tears flowed again. "Mama, she told me I needed her and not an old woman like you."

I bent forward and hugged her as best I could. "Now Tasha my love, I am so, so sorry I never meant to hurt you. I was emotional, I was unsure, and I was just stupid." I kissed the matted curls of her hair. "Oh Tasha, please forgive me."

Tasha moved quickly to my lap and hugged me tight, her body molding to mine. We wrapped each other in our arms, slowly rocking back and forth comforting each other.

I whispered. "I need you to shower and put on your white lace outfit." I kissed her cheek. "While you are getting ready, I have something I need to do."

Tasha nodded her head against my body. "Let's take you to the spa for a wonderful midday full treatment, what do you think?"

"Oh! Mama Bear I am so devoted to you I truly am." Tasha nuzzled her head against my neck, hugging me tighter. "She murmured, "I just want to serve you Mama Bear."

After a moment or two, I pulled back from her. "I need to do a few things dearest: let Mama Bear up and you get yourself a nice hot shower. Okay?"

"Of course Mama Bear!"

~~~

As Tasha stepped into the shower, I quickly changed my shorts and opened the bathroom door. "I'll be back soon," I told her, "and make sure you're dressed as I asked." Without wasting time, I stepped out of the cabin and made my way to the concierge stand.

A passenger was ahead of me, so I waited my turn. When I reached the counter, I addressed the concierge. "I need two favors. First, I'd like to book a full-body spa treatment for my cabin mate, massage, warm oil, and hot stone therapy all for today."

The concierge smiled and started typing on his keyboard. A moment later, his expression shifted, his nose wrinkled slightly, and he tilted his cheek as if he had hit a snag. When he looked up, I smiled reassuringly.

"Miss, I don't see that I..."

I cut him off gently as I whispered, "I am double diamond, there has to be some way."

He kindly shook his head. "Maybe tomorrow or the next day.

I smiled and played the last trump card I could think of. "My Genie from my last cruise, Ivanka, always made things happen for me. I know I'm not in a suite this time, it was a last-minute booking, and none were available but can we call her?"

At the mention of Ivanka's name, his eyes widened. "One moment, Miss. Let me see if Ivanka can assist."

He picked up the phone and spoke in a hushed voice. "May I have your assistance with a guest, please? Thank you, ma'am."

He hung up the phone and smiled. "Just one more moment, I promise. If you could step to the side, she'll be here shortly."

And then she appeared, my beautiful Eastern European friend, Ivanka. The moment she spotted me, she beamed.

"Dr. Anders! My goodness, it's wonderful to see you again," she said, winking playfully. "How may I assist you?"

"Ivanka, darling," I said with a grin. "I know I didn't book a suite this time, and I understand the rules, but my cabin mate needs the full spa package today. Can you work your magic?"

Ivanka's smile deepened. "One moment." She picked up the phone and dialed. "Yes, this is Ivanka. I need a full treatment for a guest of mine at 1:30, please."

I watched as she listened, her smile widening. "Perfect. Book it under Dr. Julie Anders, with me as the contact. Thank you." She ended the call and turned back to me.

"You're all set, Dr. Anders. What else can I do for you?"

"Ivanka, I owe you for this. I truly appreciate it. But there's something else I need to discuss privately. It's a sensitive matter."

Her expression softened with understanding. She stepped out from behind the counter, and we walked to a quieter location. I explained everything that had happened with Rebekah and Tasha. Ivanka listened intently, and then assured me it would be handled immediately and that I had nothing to worry about.

She offered a sincere apology and reminded me to call on her if I needed anything else.

That's when I smiled wider. "I have a feeling another group of us will be sailing soon. I'll be sure to call on your services again as my Genie."

Ivanka assured me that anything I needed I should call on her.

I walked into the cabin to see Tasha sitting at the vanity table. When the cabin door had opened I watched as she turned to me. I explained how I had scheduled her for a wonderful spa treatment for midday and how sorry I was to not listen to her. I promised her it would never happen again.

"Mama Bear, I have never been to a spa. I don't know what to do, what to expect or what will happen." Tasha spoke with an unknown nervousness and hesitation in her voice.

I took her hands in my, I pulled her naked body to mine and wrapped her in my arms. I kissed her cheek to her eye. I kissed both of her eyes and then her forehead and as I trailed soft butterfly kisses down around her face and paused at her lips, I explained that the wonderful women in the spa would give her a nice massage, a manicure, a pedicure, and ensure she would be treated like a queen.

"It's my apology gift to you dearest." I hugged her tighter. "And tonight we have a nice dinner, just the two of us and then we have time on deck relaxing, then ice show."

I kissed her cheek. "Tonight, we, my pet, cuddle and sleep with the sounds of the ocean filling our cabin."

"Mama Bear?" She pulled back slightly. Her hands came to rest on my hips.

I pressed my body closer to Tasha ensuring she knew how much I wanted her. "Yes Tasha dearest."

"Will you please collar and walk me to the spa after lunch? I want to show the world you are my Mistress and I only serve you and hopefully Sabrina."

She kissed my lips. "Please Mama Bear."

I kissed her softly. "I shall but we have time."

Suddenly a wicked smile came across her face. "I want that Mama Bear, and I would beg for one more thing."

Tasha's hands moved from my hips to the front of my shorts. Her nimble fingers made quick work of the snap and zipper of my shorts. And before I knew what was happening, my pet Tasha had my shorts and panties down my legs, pooling at my feet.

With a more delicate touch Tasha lifted my left leg and moved my shorts from my ankle and placed it back on the floor. She did the same with my right foot, removing my clothing but this time she stood and laid them across the back of the chair.

Tasha turned and lifted my top, smiling as she stripped me of my clothing.

"Tasha dearest, what do you want, my pet?" I smiled knowing she was up to something wicked.

There were no words and she unclasped my bra, stripping me naked. Tasha's fingers grazed my skin as she stepped behind me. Her hands flattened on my sides. Her soft lips started kissing my neck.

When Tasha pressed her womanhood against my ass and when she thrust against me, grinding me her body into mine, I knew what she wanted.

"Pet!" My tone was firm. "Is that what you want?" Her hands moved to my hips and pulled them back against her again.

"Am I to beg Miss?" She pressed her breasts to my back.

"You are to seek permission for what you want." I paused and waited.

"Miss, May I have you as you had me? I need to please you."

I pressed my bum against her womanhood. My hands reached for hers and drew them up to my breasts. I bent forward slightly feeling her body falling to mine.

"I do not understand what you are asking of your Mistress? You must speak, my pet."

"Miss, I want to show you how I..." Tasha ground her pussy onto my ass now. Her hands caressed my breasts and found my hardening nipples. "Mistress, I need to show you how I will make love to you when you seek it."

"Rare is the time you will ever have the opportunity. Should you waste it now, it might never arise again."

"Yes Miss, I understand Miss."

"Release me and find my feeldoe pet and prepare to take me as I want. You best take me, my pet."

"Yes Miss." Tasha gently kissed my shoulder and my back.

I felt Tasha release my breasts from her hands. They trailed slowly down my sides until the tingling feeling disappeared from my skin.

I walked over to the bed and lay in the center. My head propped up watching Tasha. She found the feeldoe and made her way slowly to the bed. There was a hesitation in her movements.

"Come get in bed with me, my pet, I will instruct you." I spoke firmly.

Tasha placed the feeldoe within arm's reach and curled into bed with me. My anticipation was high, I needed this. I pulled her into a demanding kiss and was of course the aggressor.

I opened her legs with mine as my hands teased her skin. I was thrilled to feel hers on me.

"Yes!" I pleaded "I want you to make my body burn with desire!"

It wasn't so much a light switch was flipped, it was less aggressive than that but Tasha moved from the submissive and unknowing woman, to that of one who was now responsible and had a task to fulfill. Her kisses became purposeful, her touches now more specific in their feel.

Tasha was exciting me more than I had anticipated. Her touch sparked something in me I was missing. Our kisses were getting more intense and when I pulled her on top of me, the squeak which escaped from her lips made me smile even wider.

"Miss, I do apologize but I have never..." Tasha knelt straight up and held my feeldoe gently in her hands. "I understand but..." she lowered her eyes.

I knew by the look of need in her eyes, that her desire and want was true. I nodded and moved my hands over top of hers. I winked.

"Dearest little one, my dearest pet, allow your Mistress to teach you." I took my time instructing, my soon to be lover, on the intricate delicacies of my feeldoe.

The thrill in Tasha's eyes when we seated the feeldoe into her entrance and the look in her eyes when she saw my purple girlcock pointing from her body was as magical as a Christmas morning.

"Remember to go slow until I am accustomed to her inside of me."

Tasha bent forward, her hand held the feeldoe. "Stroke it across my entrance as I did to you."

"Ohhh dearest pl... ple... pleaseee!" I moaned as the tip pressed at my entrance.

My eyes never left hers as we took our time, it was loving and Tasha was a bit too gentle. I smiled wide as she slid nearly half of my girlcock into my pussy.

"Rare is the time dearest but recall how this felt and how you acted." Tasha nodded. "Now pet, fuck me, take me as I am ready and need this from you, my pet!"

I closed my legs around her waist to help hold Tasha firmly in place. It wasn't more than thirty seconds and I knew this was going to be amazing.

Tasha and I lay together in bed, asking in the glow of our intense physical activity over the last 25 minutes.

"Let me assure you my dearest Tasha, you were fabulous, amazing and with practice Tasha, my pet, you will come to satisfy me as needed."

We kissed once more. I sent her off to shower again in preparation for her spa afternoon appointment. At precisely 12:30, I placed Tasha's collar around her neck and then clipped her leash to the collar and walked with her to the main dining room where we enjoyed a late lunch.

When we finished our lunch, I walked my "prouder than a peacock" pet, up to her spa appointment where I was ensured that I would be called when she was finished. I kissed her softly on the lips and let the front desk receptionist know that that would not be necessary. She could find her way back to our cabin and I would wait for her there.

~~~

I was thrilled to see Tasha walk back into the cabin a few hours later. She was as radiant as I have ever seen a woman. I stepped from the balcony back into the cabin and took my hands and held hers. With a simplistic magical touch that is comparable to a ballerina, my beautiful Tasha spun in a very slow circle showing off her beauty.

As she spun around and stopped in front of me, I wrapped her in my arms and kissed her lips softly, and then walked her to the balcony to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun as we sailed towards our next port of call.

That night, we had a fabulous dinner at the onboard Italian restaurant. We attended the production show. When it ended, we departed as quickly as possible to our cabin where we enjoyed our shared company and a bottle of wine, which was mysteriously delivered ahead of our arrival.

As the wine was finished, my refreshed pet and I curled into our bed where we enjoyed falling fast asleep after an amazing time together; Mistress and pet.

Friday - In Port

After we enjoyed our coffee and breakfast, and while the docking process was finished, Tasha dressed in the bikini I asked her to wear; this beach wasn't as private. Once off the ship we found a nice area 'off the beaten path' and relaxed, two women starting to find a need for the other.

We watched as the sun stretched lazily across the sky, the sun hidden as much as possible by the sunglasses we wore and our bodies heated by the sand under. Both were comforting but yet I felt a pang of strain wishing Sabrina was here with me.

We enjoyed a lunch delivered to us which were mostly lighter fairs of fruits and vegetables; our choosing of course. Though it felt like paradise, it was time to leave as the sun moved past the height of the afternoon dropping past its peak.

Tasha laughed at me as when I went to stand, I wobbled slightly trying to get my legs under myself properly. "Well Mama Bear, have you relaxed too much or is it the paradise which causes me to jump to your aid to rescue you?"

We both were giddy and walked hand in hand back to the ship as soon as she could, Tasha removed her bikini announcing she was back in her 'uniform' and prepared for a wonderful evening of dancing and time spent with her Mistress.

~~~

The dance party had been an absolute joy, filling us with joy and much needed fun. Tasha and I returned to our cabin, ready to unwind and prepare for a restful night's sleep. As we stepped inside our cabin, I kissed her cheek softly and suggested she take a shower first while I cooled off for a few moments on the balcony.

We hadn't seen Maddie and Claire except at breakfast. I was hoping to have a chance to speak with them each or at least Maddie. I hoped that they had an amazing evening after such a fun-filled day.

Stepping outside, I was surprised to hear Maddie and Claire out on the balcony in a heated but hushed conversation. I could hear Maddie apologize twice begging Claire forgiveness. What I heard next shocked me to my core.

"Fuck Maddie, we were making love, I was making love with the woman I thought I was in love with and the woman who I thought loved me." I heard a huff, "While we were fucking making love Maddie you fucking called me Dawn again!"

Claire was clearly upset. "For the second time this week Maddie!"

Maddie again apologized. I could hear my baby girl crying and asking again for forgiveness. It was then I heard the words which crushed my soul.

"No Maddie I can't it's over, I will find somewhere else to sleep tonight. I'm done!"

I heard footsteps and then I heard Maddie burst out in tears. I was troubled as to what to do.

The mother in me said to call out to her and save her, but the adult in me said she needed to fix this on her own and if she needed me, she would reach out. This was her mess but I would be there to catch her when she fell.

I stepped inside our cabin and closed the sliding door. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I brushed it away as Tasha stepped from the bathroom. She had showered, dropping the towel she walked to me.

"Mama Bear? Why are you crying?" She begged as she wrapped me in her arms.

I couldn't help but feel the sorrow I had caused telling Maddie. My desires of Sabrina and Dawn moving to Philadelphia ruined my daughter's life. I shook my head and told Tasha it wasn't anything she could help with.

I broke the hug and went to the bathroom for my shower. When I finished I curled up in bed, hugging the lovely woman, my pet, which lay by my side.

Sleep was rare that evening as I wanted to come to her rescue but yet she needed space. In the middle of the night, without saying anything I felt Tasha rise from bed. I then heard Tasha leave the cabin. Assuming she was in search of her friend, Clair.

Saturday

We woke on Saturday morning, and as we waited to step onto the balcony for breakfast, a quiet worry settled over me, my thoughts lingering on my dearest daughter, Maggie. The gentle rhythm of the morning seas was interrupted by a sudden knock at the cabin door. Our continental breakfast had arrived. I could hear Tasha already up, murmuring in hushed tones with the steward.

Then, I heard it, Maggie's voice, unmistakable and unexpected. From my place in bed, I watched as the steward carried not just one, but two trays onto the balcony. He glanced my way, his smile warm yet unreadable, and offered a polite nod before wishing me a good morning.

And then I saw her, Tasha, draped in her white camisole, moving back into the cabin. That was the moment I knew. I understood what she had done.

"Though Claire is my friend Miss, Maddie is your daughter and my concern as well."

With a bit of effort, we managed to squeeze an extra chair onto the balcony, carefully balancing ourselves as we shared our modest breakfast. The quiet morning stretched on, our coffee nearly finished, when a sound broke the stillness. The sliding of a balcony door to our right, the scrape of a chair against the floor.

Maddie stood, leaning slightly over the railing. Her voice was soft, uncertain. "Can I come over and talk?"

She turned and immediately wrapped Tasha in a grateful hug. "Thank you," she murmured her voice thick with emotion. "For the coffee and fruit."

I walked her inside, pulling her close in a familiar embrace. My heart ached for her in ways I couldn't quite put into words. "No matter what," I told her, my voice steady, "I'm always here for you. You will always be my first priority."

A small, wistful smile played on her lips. "Thanks, Mom... or should I say Mama Bear?" She pressed a light kiss to my cheek before slipping back to her own cabin.

Tasha, having given us our moment, reappeared. A knowing glint sparked in her eyes as she leaned against the doorframe. "Mama Bear, I have an idea," she mused, a playful edge to her voice. "How about we go watch the sunrise from the deck?" She winked, glancing toward the next cabin an unspoken promise to give Maddie and Claire the space they needed.

We had a wonderful day relaxing on the ship but as we dressed for dinner that evening I finally asked Tasha the burning question; "Why? Why her concern and caring for Maddie over her friend?"

She smiled and took my hands and explained that should our relationship, my ownership and her submission to me, continue, which she had hoped it would once we departed the ship tomorrow, she knew where her loyalties would be. "Those loyalties are with you Mama Bear."

It was then she shocked me. I left things at that until we were strolling under the evening moonlit night. We had decided to pass on the last Love and marriage show.

I asked again why. We stopped near the Trellis Bar and had a seat.

"You see Mama Bear; once you finally fell asleep I left the cabin in search of my friend. I found her up on the top deck; as I suspected, crying and broken." She paused for a moment gathering her thoughts. "It was when Claire admitted she would forgive Maddie but was still being a spoiled brat that I asked for and received her approval to seek and continue the life I want with you Miss."

She continued, "You are aware Mama Bear, I am an intelligent woman and yet as a woman in my twenties I read others very well. To include your daughter." She smiled. "Yes Miss, Claire is a spoiled brat but my loyalties are to you, should you retain me as yours."

I pulled her close. "And what about your Mama Bear and Mistress? What do you see?"

"Mama Bear, I see a woman deeply missing the woman she loves and straining with the emotions she has for me. I think she wants the best of both worlds but I promise this; I will never be jealous of Miss Sabrina; should she have me."

With that I kissed her deeply and told her we would return to the cabin as I had something I needed to do with her.

I winked and hurried with Tasha back to the cabin. As the door closed I walked straight to the drawer and pulled my girlcock out. I just pointed to the balcony where I would have her fulfilling a need and desire as well as a fetish of mine; fucking on the balcony in the middle of the Caribbean ocean.

Debarkation - Sunday morning

I was up early as the ship pulled into port. I showered and started dressing. I woke Tasha; my poor dearest play toy was absolutely exhausted after our evening. I smiled when I kissed her and reminded her she could sleep on the flight home.

Tasha showered and dressed then hurried out for one last glimpse from the balcony. I knew there was an alternative reason but I didn't push. I just pretended I didn't know, but I did. Claire was her friend.

I smiled once more as I looked in the mirror. From the adjoining balconies, I heard Tasha expressing her gratitude to Claire and Maddie for an incredible trip. I heard her share how she was feeling certain about her future.

Just then, an announcement came over the loudspeaker, letting guests know that they could begin the debarkation process whenever they were ready. I sighed, savoring the fun we'd had, but feeling uncertain if this life was truly meant for me.

What I really longed for was two time zones away, in Colorado Springs.

"Tasha, let's go ahead and leave. Maddie and Claire, we will meet you at the luggage area. We should go through Customs and Immigration together. Then we can order our rideshare to the airport."

I snuck one last look in the mirror. Tasha walked back into the cabin. "I am ready Mama Bear. Claire and Maddie said they would be with us in a few moments."

Tasha kissed my cheek thanking me again for everything, the cruise, my love and mostly my understanding and of course the collar she earned.

I opened the door. We walked down the hallway toward the elevator. Standing there I heard my phone ping. Reaching into my purse, I unlocked the screen and read the message.

'Hello, my dearest. I hope you enjoyed your week away, but hopefully you didn't have too much fun.'

After a brief pause, a second text followed: 'I've done some thinking and have spoken with Dawn and we would like to chat. Would you call me when you get settled back home? ❤ ️'

My heart leapt, and a rush of anticipation twisted in my stomach. Could it be? Was this really happening?

Suddenly, I felt a gentle touch on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Maddie standing there with a sad look on her face.

"Baby?" I asked and watched as Claire slowly approached with her luggage in tow.

"Claire?" I asked.

"I am sorry Dr. Anders, I truly am but..." she shrugged her shoulders and turned and walked away from us as the elevator door opened.

Claire stepped forward without turning to look at us. As quickly as the doors opened, they closed. She wouldn't be waiting for us at baggage claim. She was going on and into her life without us.

Maddie stood frozen; her body was still as the world around her seemed to collapse. Her eyes were wide, glazed over with a mix of disbelief and pain.

Tasha and I held our breath blown away with what just happened. Maddie's lips parted in an attempt to speak, but no words came; only a choked sound that barely escaped, like a cry stifled at its core. Her chest rose and fell then it all flowed. It must have been like someone reaching inside and twisted her heart into something unrecognizable, leaving her struggling to breathe.

My thoughts immediately turned to Mama Bear mode, protecting my daughter.

I looked at her and wrapped her in my arms. It was as if she couldn't quite process the weight of what had just happened. Her hands, which had once held Claire's with such love and certainty, now hung limply at her sides. In the hallway we stood as Maddie trembled in my arms.

Her head fell to my chest. The world felt too loud, too sharp, and she felt unbearably small against it all. Her body swayed slightly, the weight of the shock making her unsteady. She tried to fend off the sudden rush of tears, but it was useless. Her breath hitched each one a reminder of how her world had unraveled in an instant.

I held her as the tears flowed. I was certain she was on the edge of fraying; her reality crushed.

The elevator doors opened, an elderly couple asked if we were going down. I smiled and thanked them, explaining we would get another elevator.

I am not certain how long we stood there, it didn't matter. All that mattered was I would take care of my baby; the center of my world.

Maddie wrapped her arms around me and took a deep breath then exhaled.

"Gawd Mom, love sucks."

"Let's get you home my baby. Let's take you home baby."
