After The Silence Ch. 05

After The Silence - Ch 5

Truths revealed boundaries crossed

A/N - Please enjoy this fictional series. The idea and character came to me while researching a potential vacation. It brings together my love of music, vacations, and the ability for one to express themselves. I'm not certain how many chapters this will be as I want to make Annie an ongoing MC. I do hope you enjoy.

????Sunday Morning ????

I just finished checking in a family of fourteen. The group were brothers, sisters and their spouses from Central Pennsylvania. They were celebrating their mother's ninetieth birthday. I wished them well when I looked up and froze. Standing fifteen feet away, over at F1 was a woman who looked so darn familiar but I couldn't be sure.

The man with her was holding her hand, they looked like a sweet couple. But as they turned away, she looked at me and paused. She paused to the point he stopped walking. Our eyes connected a second time. I knew her from somewhere, I swear.

She must have thought the same thing, I could see it written on her face.

Quickly the man with her pulled her away but she was still looking at me. Then I heard another passenger. "Hi we are all F4."

I turned away from the mysterious woman and went back to my job at Muster Station F4.

????Sunday Evening ????

With tonight being sail away and the first night of the cruise, we didn't have a show. I worked with Claire and had rearranged the show schedule allowing for more live music.

Tonight was the first of the ice shows, giving most of my orchestra the night off. However, Amie would play starting at eight in Central Park, Nathan was playing in the Globe and Anchor pub from 8:00 - 9:00. I had classical piano duties in the Schooner Bar from 8:00 - 9:30. I didn't mind at all. I was playing and I was happy to.

When I started, I made my soft announcement welcoming everyone to the cruise and the Schooner Bar. Then I shared my name and that I was privileged to be their pianist for their cruise this week.

I continued on saying how I would play a few nights of music trivia with my crew mate, Erinn and that we looked forward to entertaining them the next seven days. With that, I started with As It Is, by Aurelian Juno.

When I finished my first set, one of the waiters walked over with a glass of water. She bent her head down. "For you Maestro." I looked up and smiled and a beautiful looking Asian woman with the brightest almond shaped eyes and a smile which would light the room

I thanked her and noticed her name tag, her name was Nan, she was from China. Before I could thank her, she turned and walked away.

I played on through my second set. I was finishing 'Still Quiet' by Les Moray when I saw Erinn enter from the side "Crew Only" door. She had a smile on her face, which simply made me smile as well.

I brought the piano to a gentle silence as she stepped up and bent to whisper in my ear.

"I just spoke with Claire, she would like you to hold your Thursday evening for us."

I turned and nodded, winking and smiling the whole time. "And tonight is just us?" I asked politely.

"My dear, it is just you and I tonight and I can't wait to have you in my arms later." As Erinn stepped away I swooned all over again knowing that tonight would be very special and loving.

I went back to playing, starting another set. Delighted in the soft sounds in the Schooner Bar. I was just closing up the piano having finished when the mysterious woman and her companion walked up the stairs from the Main Promenade and turned heading out to the Boardwalk.

I was tempted to get their attention but I had Erinn on my mind.

????

As was becoming my routine, I showered and made certain that I was neatly trimmed and smooth in other areas, being as womanly as possible for Erinn tonight. I dressed in a minimal pair of lace panties and a camisole. And since I was going to see Erinn in her cabin, I slipped on my warm up shorts and zip up top.

I made my way to Erinn's cabin mostly unnoticed, only passing a few crew members in the hallway. I tapped on her door softly. When she opened her door she smiled wide, she was similarly dressed.

"I have an idea, I know it is still early but what if we took a walk outside for a bit, I'd like to show you something."

I smiled and nodded. "Absolutely."

We walked back the hall and then through a crew entrance up to Deck 5. We exited and turned to our left walking towards the back of the ship. At the very end we stood for a moment, side by side. The moon and stars on this clear night lit the wake of the ship as we glided through the dark ocean.

She tilted her head and whispered. "If public displays of affection between crew members was allowed, I believe this would be one spot which would see the most affection and enjoy some ourselves. In nights past the CCTV's have caught many, many couples having too much fun back here."

I turned to her and murmured, "I'd love the chance to kiss you back here in this peaceful setting." We leaned closer to each other, our shoulders almost touching.

Erinn turned and whispered, "Come with me my girlfriend and lover Annie Marks, I feel the need to kiss you many, many times."

And yes, many, many times Erinn did kiss me. I, as well, returned the favor of thoroughly enjoying kissing her. When we first cuddled in bed kissing, I was surprised when I removed Erinn's from her top and panties.

I had an assumption that with her being from Wales and European that she could have a full body of hair, as many European women don't fully shave. Mentally, I wasn't taking anything for granted.

And to share with you, I do not mind a nice tuft, in fact, I like my girlfriend to be a woman, if you know what I mean.

To my wonderful surprise, Erinn boasted a beautiful and fluffy tuft of neatly trimmed hair covering her mons. I was almost as giddy as a schoolgirl as I teased her running my nose and tongue through her hair as I slowly made love to her.

Erinn was special as a lover, her silky nectar was sweet and creamy thick when she came for me, I heard her caution me when her breathing changed.

"Annie, I am going to cum!" She breathed out at the crescendo of her orgasm.

I closed my mouth over her opening and was truly fed the sweetest gush of creamy nectar I had ever experienced. But to my wonderful surprise, Erinn's panting was her asking for more, which I readily gave to her enjoying our time together as well.

With my tongue spelling out my name as I swirled her clit, I eased a finger into her wetness and curled it, searching for but then nearly immediately finding the magical rough patch of her g-spot.

"Annie Marks!" She squealed into her pillow as I didn't relent.

But when I felt her quiver under my touch and when she squealed a second time then lay nearly lifeless on her bed, I withdrew and as she asked, I moved up lying with her as she kissed me deeper than earlier sharing her nectar.

"I love tasting myself from your lips." Erinn whispered softly.

I curled next to her but our legs were now scissoring, I whispered to her, "I couldn't ever get enough of you my lover."

Her hands were slowly caressing my skin, when I heard her. "Don't be offended, but I have a question for you Annie?"

I tilted my head forward, now staring into her eyes and waited. She winked. "I have a few kinks that I truly get off on." I moved up and kissed her lips.

"I have an open mind, I'd love to hear about them."

"I love showering with my lover immediately after we make love and then have her fall asleep in my arms."

We kissed tenderly. I hummed in agreement, then she continued, "I have a nice strapless I use from time to time." I moved to speak, but her finger pressed my lips. "And I like it used on me mutually."

"I would love nothing more than to make love with you both receiving and giving." I kissed her cheek. "I've told you, I am bisexual." I waited for her response. She just kissed me then rolled with me sliding down my body moving me onto my back.

Erinn trailed, her kisses down my chest and skipping my breasts slid a single finger into my soaked womanhood. My walls immediately closed around her as I spread wide for my lover.

When she closed her lips over my clit and swirled her tongue around it, I nearly fainted feeling her love. I murmured, "I have a kink as well, my love."

But Erinn was relentless as she continued to make love to me. I was on the cusp, right near the edge as I felt my core start to tighten. I grasped her hair gently and pulled her tight against me.

"I'm going to cum!" I squealed then, looped my legs around her and held her in place. With a bit more force, I guided her mouth to when I needed it.

But then I lifted my legs, "Cumming my sweet!"

And that was it, my core flexed, a roll of powerful loveliness exploded from inside me as I came, squirting onto her lips, and in her mouth as I moved her head. "Drink my sweet, drink the nectar you have asked for."

My tone was more dominating and forceful, "This is yours as you loved me do not waste my offering!" And to my wonderment and joy, my lover didn't waste even the tiniest drop. Pulling her up to me, I pressed my lips to hers and drank my nectar from her mouth.

As we settled our breathing in our post orgasmic bliss, we kissed softly once more, Erinn murmured in my ear. "My lover, I need to pee, come and shower with me then we will fall asleep in our arms."

Yes, that is what we did. I walked with Erinn to her shower, which was slightly larger than mine, but as the water wet us, Erinn wrapped me in a hug and let herself flow, covering my thigh and legs.

As she finished, I began, and she kissed me even deeper then along my jawline her kisses continued until at my ear she whispered, "I wouldn't have ever guessed, a sophisticated woman and lover as you would allow me, but I see, we have something else to share from now on."

Erinn and I did the best cleaning each other in the small clamshell shower but when we couldn't take any more, we adjourned to her bed, cuddling then falling asleep in each other's arms, as she asked.

????Monday Morning ????

Erinn was up very early Monday morning preparing for her day. We kissed once more with the whisper that we would see each other during the day.

At six o'clock, I made my way out to the jogging track, returning to Deck 5, and decided to break a sweat in the fresh air. I slowly started jogging along the track, losing myself in the music filling my ears and soul.

The track was busy with passengers and a few crew members who I recognized and I am sure one or two I didn't.

When I finished my third lap, I slowed to a walk, and that is when I noticed her, again.

Nan was slowing her jog and starting a cooldown walk when she passed me. Her jogging shorts were a bit loose which didn't give me much of a view of her figure but I could tell she had a highly reasonable fitness level. There didn't seem to be an ounce of fat on her as far as I could see.

I caught her attention and shivered when she smiled, "Good Morning Maestro."

"Good morning Nan, I meant to thank you for your kindness yesterday." She smiled and blushed slightly.

"My pleasure Maestro. We are so excited that someone of your skills is onboard."

She slowed her steps as we turned the corner again walking around the ship. "I'm going to walk another lap, do you have time to join me?" She just nodded and smiled.

We didn't say much but as we walked I could tell there was something very different about Nan. It wasn't just her height, it was her body, the gate of her walk and how she carried herself. She had a very humble but shy confidence about herself.

When we came around the front of the ship and started our walk back, she slowed a bit. "Maestro, I want to thank you. I don't have many friends here onboard. Like you, I am new, this is my first sailing."

We came to the crew entrance, I stepped inside the corridor and opened the crew door. She stepped with me. "Nan?" I looked up at her, there was a beauty like none other I had ever seen. "I'll be your friend. We can learn the ropes together."

She smiled wider, "Yes Maestro I love that, but I have work and must report at eight in the main dining room, then in the Windjammer until four. I will be in Schooner Bar later tonight until it closes."

I smiled, "Until later my friend." She smiled and nodded then turned and walked away.

I came back inside and was heading down to my cabin when I saw Karl. I slowed my walk as Karl was walking towards me. I paused in the hallway when he looked at me and smiled.

"Good morning Karl." I smiled and waited for him to greet me.

"Well Maestro, welcome to another sailing, another week. How are you feeling?" He seemed to be more formal, so I decided I should follow suit.

"I am well. I am truly enjoying myself and my team." He nodded and turned to leave. I needed to ask him, so I did.

"Karl?" He turned. "Is it possible, I mean according to the rules, would I be allowed to ask you out for a glass or wine, or a drink, on personal time?"

He smiled. "Maestro, there are no rules against you and I dating, as there isn't a subordinate or direct review between us." He stepped closer, "I'm free Wednesday evening if you would like to meet for a drink."

I smiled, "Thank you Karl. I would like to share some time with you." He stepped to the side and allowed me last, as he continued on his way to do what he was doing.

I showered and dressed for the day, then prepared my clothing for the night. I made my way to the crew galley. I picked from what was out and available. After my snarky comment to Chef Newsome, I avoided asking for anything special. He certainly didn't offer.

I had rehearsal at 11:00 for the production show this evening at 8:00 and 10:00 p. m. as well as from 6:00 until 6:50, I was playing in the Schooner Bar. It was going to be a long evening

????

When we finished with the 11:00 rehearsal, Claire and Captain Jonathan were backstage.

"Maestro?" Captain Jonathan caught my attention. "May I have a moment?"

I smiled, "Of course Captain." I followed them to a backstage office where Claire closed the door behind her as the three of us sat.

Captain Jonathan spoke with a slight accent, but I was fully able to understand him. "We have reviewed several comment cards and surveys from your first cruises." He paused, smiling.

Suddenly I was nervous.

"Now there is no reason for you to worry about the responses. Your music, and your orchestra were the best we have seen in a very long time."

I looked from him to Claire, both were smiling. "Captain, I am loving what I am doing here and I am thrilled that you, Henrik, Claire, and Erinn have given me the latitude you have allowed."

That is when Claire spoke up. "As a matter of fact, several of the comments and surveys made recommendations specific to your entertainment. Many suggested you should play under the half shell in Central Park. Many felt that it would add so much to the atmosphere and their experience."

"Captain, Claire, I play for enjoyment of those who listen and accept any feedback you offer or suggestions."

They both looked at each other, then Captain Jonathan spoke up. "Okay two things then, we will load when in Fort Lauderdale again, a portable piano, but we need you to coordinate with the corporate staff on the type. That meeting is tomorrow morning."

"And the other?" I asked bravely.

"Geoff wants to discuss an extension of your contract. He wants you locked in."

I sat in shock as Captain Jonathan and Claire smiled wider.

"You were loved not only by the guests, but several crew members made specific comments. Maestro, Claire and I want you on our ship for a long, long time. I ask you to please consider this request to stay with us for a full nine month contract to be reviewed in a few months."

"Of course Captain, it would be an honor to stay for a full contract."

With that conversation completed, they stood. I stood quickly. Captain Jonathan walked from us, bidding us both a good day. But when the office door closed, Claire reached her hand to mine and held it.

"The Captain, Geoff, and the corporate entertainment team, told me to do everything I could do in convincing you to stay."

I looked into her eyes with love and desire. I was certain she saw that. "If I could kiss you now Claire, I would. But... what about you? I can't be here without you and Erin!"

"I am working on that Annie, but I need a vacation, I need some time off." Claire softly squeezed my hand and repeated. "But Thursday night, you and with us." She winked and then excused herself needing to leave for a meeting.

????

As we settled into the orchestra pit for the eight o'clock show, I was thrilled, it seemed that I made a difference in folks' lives and made them happy with the talents I possess. I just wanted to play even more. We played through the first show, I swear we were all on cloud nine and our attitude of positivity flowed through our collective veins thrilling the passengers.

When we finished the show, it was just under an hour until we needed to be back. I was again floating on the clouds of the music we played and made my way down to the crew private deck.

I sat outside for a few moments until Katya caught my attention. She sat next to me and murmured how amazing we all were during the first show. I was still smiling.

"Katya, I have you to thank for this, you showed me the mental path I need to stay on." I leaned over and gave her a one arm hug, thanking my friend.

????

The ten o'clock show was just as spectacular. The nine of us in the orchestra and Katya's team seemed to have really impressed the passengers and the whole production team.

Stefan even came from behind the scenes and complimented all of us. As Claire was on stage making her announcements, I politely excused myself knowing that Amie was going to come visit me this evening.

That excited me even more!

????Late Monday Evening????

Again, I had showered, slipped on lace panties and my robe just as Amie knocked softly on my cabin door. As I opened the door to greet her she wasn't smiling as bright as she usually does. She stepped inside and as the door closed, I wrapped my arms around her and drew her into a hug.

"What is it my love?"

"Maestro, I am not feeling well." I hugged her gently, "Come and rest my love, we will cuddle and let me take the discomfort away."

Amie kissed my cheek, "I am sorry Maestro, but I can not be loved tonight."

I whispered in her ear, my care and support, but then finished, "It is perfectly fine my dear, we can just be together. That means more to be than loving you right now."

Amie smiled and walked with me as I walked to bed with her. Soon we had cuddled and were mostly skin to skin, enjoying the quiet soft sounds of music in my cabin. Even before the first overture had finished, Amie was sleeping softly, her head on my bare chest.

????Tuesday Morning????

As directed, I knocked on the HR Department door just before nine so I could, with Karl's assistance I got signed in for the meeting with Geoff and the corporate entertainment team.

With the video call established and with me still in the waiting room, Karl hovered over my shoulder, which truly excited me. When he whispered his excitement for our "date" I swear my breath hitched and my heart skipped a beat.

I turned carefully and then looked him dead in the eyes. "Karl, I can't wait to be alone with you tomorrow."

As soon as I finished that statement, Geoff and two others appeared on screen to start the meeting. It wasn't necessarily a meeting of my input, they presented to me three options for keyboards, stools, and stands I would want for when we arrived.

I shared my thoughts and once we agreed on each item, the call ended. I stepped from the room and found Karl alone in his office.

I knocked on his door. He looked up from what he was reading and smiled seeing me.

"Come in!" I stepped into his office and pulled the door closed behind me.

"I hope that is okay?" I smiled. Karl stood from behind his desk and walked around to stand in front of me.

Now don't ask me why but my hands immediately moved to his waist, just above his hips.

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow evening." He smiled. "I haven't had a date with a man in a long time."

He looked at me curiously. "Karl, I've told you I am I bisexual and have recently been dating a woman." He didn't change his expression, "Is that something you are offended by?"

He stepped closer and bent down kissing my cheek. "No as long as I know where I stand as we start dating, that is what matters to me."

Again, don't ask me why but I turned my head and gently kissed his lips. "Karl, I am very excited about our date but I am not looking for a boyfriend. I am looking for... Karl, this might be the wrong idea then. Maybe I should cancel."

I had serious mixed emotions now. He seemed to want more than I did. I wanted some time, frankly I wanted sex! I don't want him as a boyfriend. I would need to tell him in a nicer manner.

????Tuesday Midday ????

I made my way up to the Schooner Bar with Erinn to play Name That Tune game, well at least our spin on it. Erinn asks a question and I play part of the song for those in attendance. They wrote down an answer, we recap and have fun.. When I settled in behind the piano, Erinn made the announcement we would start shortly.

I looked out at those in the bar area and saw the young woman who three days ago caught my attention at the Muster Station. I stood and turned to Erinn and excused myself. I walked over to her.

She saw me walking towards her. I smiled, and gave her a half wave. When I reached her, she gave me a half smile and stood as well.

"Hello, I'm sorry but I noticed you and your partner the other day."

Her expression was still slightly flat but there was something behind her eyes. "You look so familiar, but forgive me I can't place your face or remember you."

She smiled. "Maestro, we met many years ago, you were playing at the Pops."

"Tabitha?" I heard a male voice approach us.

She turned and looked, seeing the man approaching us. I saw fear grip her face, "I'm sorry Maestro, I shouldn't be bothering you."

Then it hit me, "Wait, are you Tabitha Vasquez?" She nodded.

Then the man stood next to her and took her hand. He bent to whisper in her ear. I couldn't hear him but when he finished, he looked at me.

He spoke, "It's not Vasquez any longer, it's Mrs. Goodman, and she apologizes. She didn't mean to bother you."

Immediately my radar was on high alert. Something was very wrong. I decided to take a stand for her.

"No, that is quite alright, I do not start for a few minutes." I turned to her. "You interned, as I recall now you had studies at Tufts as well, your BFA and were doing an internship?"

She looked at him, he nodded. "Yes Maestro, but then I met David and well, we married and I have a place in his home now."

This whole situation was really weird but there must be something I could do. Then it hit me.

"Can I introduce you to my girlfriend Erinn? She is right there." I turned and pointed at the piano.

She didn't speak, so I turned to him. "Let me introduce her. Mr. Goodman.." I reached for her hand then looked at him, "Thank you." We stepped towards the piano, without looking at her I asked. "Tabitha, are you safe?"

I heard her breathing change, "I'll be alright Maestro."

By this time I had reached Erinn, "Erinn, this is Tabitha Vasquez, I mean Tabitha Goodman, she interned with us when I was at the Boston Pops."

Erinn had turned to look at her. They exchanged a few brief words, but that was all. Once the introduction was done, Tabitha excused herself and walked back quickly to the man who said he was her husband. But something was off, really off.

I know what love is, I know what married couples look like, this wasn't it.

I took my seat at the bench, I looked up from my iPad and they had disappeared from the bar. At the table where she sat, was a full glass of wine. Something was definitely off.

We played through the set but it was still bugging me. Erinn announced we were taking a five minute break and I reached up to touch her hand. "I need to talk with you."

"Sure what's up?"

"Not here in private, please." I said with urgency in my voice. Erinn winked, I just shook my head and stood walking inside the "Crew Only" doors.

Once we were behind closed doors, I explained my gut feeling. It seemed she wasn't here freely and it was just strange how he spoke for her and the fear that gripped her face.

"Erinn, it's just crawling at my skin. You don't get your BFA from Tufts to become a housewife."

"Well there really isn't much we can do unless someone saw something or reported something."

I nodded and went back out to play our next set, which shifted my mood some but I couldn't get the expression of hers off my mind. Something seemed really off.

???? Late Tuesday Evening????

When I finished playing, I made my way to my cabin, I showered and dressed as I love to, smaller lace panties, and a t-shirt. Erinn had a date with Claire, and well, I was on my own this evening. I sat out on the crew deck and just took in the sounds of the ocean as it slapped against the ship.

I was getting accustomed to the movement of the ship and not yet getting seasick, something I was very thankful for. I heard the door open and close, that's when I heard Katya and her distinct voice.

"Well good evening my friend." She sat down on the lounge chair next to me. "What's on your mind tonight."

I looked at her and smiled, "Nothing really, I'm just trying to relax a bit before I sleep." I didn't want to get back into the whole situation with Tabitha but yet it was still on my mind.

Don't ask me why, but tonight wasn't a calm night. I felt slightly distressed and not in the mood to chat much. I stood and turned to my friend. "Don't be upset with me, but I am going to head to bed."

I bent down and kissed her cheek. She whispered, "Sweet dreams my friend."

I smiled, ohh how I wish I was going to have sweet dreams. It was going to be a lonely night alone in bed.

???? Wednesday Morning????

I was up early but knew I had a very busy day ahead of me. I had my evening planned with Karl tonight. But it would start with a rehearsal for the final show. I wanted a run-through and then tonight we had karaoke in the Schooner Bar which I was hoping that Claire and Captain Jonathan could come again.

I dressed in my running shorts, bra, shirt and shoes to make my way to Deck 5 and the jogging track. I had reached the five kilometers distance when I saw Nan up ahead, she appeared to be finishing as well.

I called out to her as I came alongside her. "Hello my friend! How was your run?"

She turned her head and almost immediately smiled wider. "Hello Annie."

Her accent and how she pronounced my name really excited me deep in my soul.

"I am happy to see you this morning. Did you enjoy your run?" She asked.

We were walking, it was then I realized that Nan had a beauty to her that struck a chord deep in my soul. Her almond shaped eyes and her flawless skin, and her tall figure nearly made me shiver. But she wanted a friend, and well I had Claire, Erinn and Amie. I didn't need another girlfriend. I resigned myself to being her friend.

"I did but I need to get faster, I am still very slow. Maybe I can get some pointers from you?"

She blushed a slighter deeper red. "Yes on mornings I run early."

It took me a moment to understand her slightly broken English. Then I asked her. "Could we exchange numbers and text when you are free?"

It was just then that we came upon our "Crew Only" entrance. "Yes Maestro, I would want that with you if it pleases you." She pulled her phone from her pocket and handed it to me.

I entered my number into a new text and titled it 'Annie Marks runner'.

"Thank you Annie Marks." She smiled as I handed her the phone back.

"Not tomorrow I have a late night tonight but Friday morning my friend?" She nodded and we went our separate ways.

????

I showered and dressed in casual clothes for rehearsal and then made my way to the theater for rehearsal.

We had a great rehearsal. It seemed to flow even better than before. We were really coming together, not just as a group of musicians we were coming together as a well rounded orchestra.

I noticed Amie stayed back a few seconds as I stayed myself playing a little. I opened my iPad and then opened the document title, "TBD". My untitled opus. Amie hesitated approaching me. I paused and smiled.

"Amie?" She stepped forward, uncertain of what she needed. I stood and waited until she came all the way over to me.

"Maestro, good day. I wanted to thank you."

I was curious. "Amie, are you alright?"

"Yes Maestro." She leaned forward and whispered in my ear. "I just needed your smile and kiss. I have missed you so much."

I could feel the heat in her voice, the warmth in her breath and the need in her tone.

"I have time until I play in the Schooner Bar and then trivia, would you like to come with me?"

"Maestro, I would love to be with you in your cabin if you allow me." She whispered softly in my ear.

I turned and with my lips almost touching the skin of her ear I whispered. "Then you will come my love, come to my bed and love me Amie." When I pulled back her smile was brighter than I had ever seen.

I wanted to challenge her to see if this was what I thought it was. "Amie, is that what you want? You want me to take you"

"Yes Maestro, I want for you to conduct my heart, mind and soul."

I closed my iPad and turned walking with Amie following me to my cabin. Once I opened my door and stepped inside, I paused for a moment.

"Amie, do you truly feel as if you are meant to serve me?"

She lowered her head slowly. "Yes Maestro. I do."

I wrapped her in my arms and kissed her deeply. "Then my Amie, my sweet flower, when you are with me and we are alone away from the eyes of others, I will learn to own you."

I held her tight but when I heard her purr I knew this is what she truly was. "I promise to always love and respect you Amie, as long as we are together my lover, I will protect you and have you as mine."

"Yes Maestro, you thrill me like this."

When I kissed Amie, in that moment I felt she shiver like I had never felt a woman ever. This was something more than special, this seemed to be eternal, between her and I.

We carefully undressed the other as we slowly became one, but just before she slipped my panties down my legs, I watched her eyes, I'd not seen a depth of passion or desire in a long time.

I slipped her soft panties down her legs and kissed her very thin tuft of hair and as I stood slowly kissing my way up her body, she wrapped her arms around me shaking all over softly purring, murmuring like a first time lover.

When I kissed her lips softly I asked her, "What is it you seek Amie?"

"To always please you."

I kissed her again, this time a bit firmer, and breaking the kiss, I held her naked soft and perfect body to me. I whispered, "Then have me Amie, feast my lover."

Amie slipped her petite fingers into my panties and slowly lowered them. We laid on my bed and my new and amazing lover took me, loved me and more importantly, gave of herself to me and a lover.

When we cuddled in our afternoon post orgasm bliss, I never thought life could get better.

???? Wednesday Evening????

I smiled as I sat down at the piano in the Schooner Bar, preparing for the 'Passenger Singalong Karaoke'. I was in a great mood until I saw Tabitha and her "husband". As I sat and slowly made my announcements, I covered the rules, which were minimal. But soon I let folks know they could come up and request any song and I would do my best.

A young woman, maybe eighteen, walked up and requested I try and play a Taylor Swift popular tune. I told her I would try and do my best as long as I sang with her. When a young man came up asking for some John Denver, specifically Country Roads. I told him he and I could do a fine rendition.

This event was soon becoming a passenger favorite, as well as mine. Then the waiter came over and dropped a note. I opened it and read it. Please play "A Little Help From My Friends" please, Tufts.

I looked through the crowd and saw her face, immediately I feared for her. I could see the distress on her face.

????

I started and played three songs and then picked up the mic.

"I have a bar singalong request for this next song, so if you'll indulge this passenger."

I started the intro, and after three bars, I paused. "Opps, sorry that's a mistake on my part, let me try again."

I turned to see Erinn standing there, I waved her over and handed her the note and then started playing again. We got through the song and the entire bar, except for the Goodman's sang, but as we closed the refrain I looked at her and nodded, then mouthed, "I'm here, I swear."

She blinked four times in a purposeful manner. I knew there was an issue and I wasn't making this up.

Captain Jonathan walked into the bar and I smiled once we had finished. "Ladies and Gentlemen, it's my pleasure to welcome our Captain, Captain Jonathan."

The applause was amazing, he smiled and waved to everyone taking the mic. "So, Maestro, last week we had a wonderful time, and this week I hope you are ready again?"

He smiled as he held the mic. "Captain, I have a new one for you." I started the intro to "I Melt With You" by Modern English. He looked at me and smiled.

"Okay Maestro, you are trying to embarrass me?"

Our bantering back and forth was a bit fun but we had prearranged a three song list which did include "I Melt With You".

"Oh Captain, stop being modest." I replayed the three bar intro again. "What do you say folks? Will you help Captain Jonathan out?"

And we started playing. Everyone in the bar got into it and was enjoying it. But then I started the intro to "American Pie" by Don McLean. I hadn't heard the Schooner Bar this loud ever.

When we finished I spoke into the mic, "Okay we'll close this set out with a favorite but we need everyone to really join in." I paused, then started "Everybody Wants To Rule The World." And as I hoped the entire bar exploded singing.

When we finally finished, the applause was amazing and the Captain was thrilled. I bid everyone a good night but explained I would see them later in the week. I stepped from the piano and once I got to the inner corridor, I found Erinn.

I pulled her aside, "Erinn I swear she is in trouble. We must help her!"

"Annie," she seemed exasperated, "I don't know what we can do!"

I felt horrible, I knew I needed to do something.

????Late Wednesday Evening????

I opened my cabin door and left it unlocked, just as Karl asked. I stepped into my bathroom and once I peed and flushed, I showered and shaved cleaning up, hoping I would feel his kisses on my womanhood.

I slipped on my robe and loosely tied the belt, I shivered in anticipation waiting on him. I just hoped this wasn't a bad idea but I needed a man, and so far, Karl was what I wanted.

My mind floated back to the kiss we shared earlier. It wasn't only euphoric, sensual and amazing, it was the best kiss I'd shared with a man in years! Yes, including... him.

I heard a soft knock and turned to see Karl walk into my room. I smiled immediately as he closed the cabin door behind him. He wrapped me in a very soft hug. I stood up on my toes and kissed him softly.

"Karl, I am thrilled you came. I didn't want to come on too..." His lips met mine and stopped my words.

His hands carefully explored my robe covered body caressing my back, staying above my waist. I moved closer and almost seemed to be the aggressor in our love which was fine with me but with a man, it was slightly out of my normal.

I moved my hands down and caressed his lower back but I slid my left hand to his belt slowly unbuckling it. Once unbuckled, I eased his zipper lower and slipped my smaller hand into his pants.

Giving him a "signal", Karl slipped his hand from my lower back to my side and then up to caress my breast. When I had his pants undone, he slipped from his shoes and pants as they pooled at his feet.

Our kisses deepened and I was surprised with a wonderfully sized cock, one I needed soon, very soon. I walked with him to my bed and moving as if we had been like this many times before, we slid into bed enjoying the softness of our passion.

When I wrapped my legs around Karl and felt the head of his cock press at my entrance, I started breathing deeper and with more excitement.

"Please Karl, go slow, it has been a bit of time since I've been with a man."

His kisses reassured me that he was loving and respectful of my ask. He slipped into me with affection and love. When he slowed and backed off, it was a coupling made in the clouds, it was euphoric and giving.

Karl moved his kisses down covering my neck and face. His hand moved and covered my breast as he slid fully into my wet and silky pussy. I grabbed his hips and whispered how wonderful he felt as we made love.

I was swooning as he took me to a second orgasm but when I locked my heels over his back and begged for this seed he kissed me sweetly and filled my permanently infertile womb. When he finished cumming in me and as he filled me like Derrick never could, he rolled over onto his side and continued soft kisses and touches of the deepest intimate love.

I was so in-tune with him that I didn't even leave the proverbial wet spot, and it was massive. We soaked my sheets but I had no intention of moving. I was blissfully and amazingly sexually satisfied.

We kissed once more. Karl lovingly laid flat on his back and invited me to curl up next to him, laying my head on his chest, falling asleep with sexual love on my mind.
