Captains log HMS Queen Charolette, July the 6th the year of our lord 1815. The ship yards of Deptford have came into view as the rising sun brought a new found cheer to my men. The sight of the city we left so many years ago brings to conclusion the Napoleonic wars. With Napoleon once again placed into exile, this time on the island of St. Helena we could finally return home for good. The docks welcomed back my ship as a mother would her child cradling it against her bosom, securing it tightly. It was a little over 5 years ago that I left these docks aboard this newly christened ship as a wide eyed first mate. This was my first ship and it was the first time that a pollywog such as me has ever been given the title first mate. I would like to attribute my success to hard work and a firm dedication to my studies, but if you knew me you would know that is not my way.
I came to this ship after being discovered by the Admiral under whose flag I now fly in the midst of a passionate tryst with his new lovely bride. This would pose a problem if we wouldn't have been discovered as the admiral was meeting his newest conquest for his own midnight liaison. Being of noble blood and of prominence it would be socially and politically devastating if it was discovered that the admiral had a penchant for the help....the young male help! My life has changed now though and I return 5 years later the captain of the queen's namesake, a 104 gun admiral flag ship.
As the gang plank settles to the cobblestone below I am welcomed with the site of Admiral Bonham and his lovely bride. Her wry smile displays the fact that my memory still holds an area of fondness and carnal pleasure in her mind. My salute is as crisp as my uniform as I stand with the pride of many fought battles and the admiration of the very men that man the rails above. After the formalities my voice rings out to the men "shore leave, dismissed". With an exuberance that a home coming can only bring the men depart the ship by the gangplank 2 by 2. Some of the men with a loss of patience wrap there legs around the mooring lines and hand over fist they quickly lower themselves to the ground. Everywhere around the docks families rejoice, wives meet husbands again, children and fathers meet for the first time and of course the local prostitutes prepare for a night of much prosperity.
I accompany the admiral back to his office for the customary debriefing and pleasantries reserved for those of rank. I am told that tonight there will of course be a ball in honor of our arrival and this time in jest I am told that I am an invited guest. He also passes on that his wife hopes that I can stay after so that they can all get acquainted again. The thoughts of the lady Bonham and her many talents in the carnal arts rattle through my head as I graciously accept the invitation with restrained enthusiasm. I take my leave of the admiral as it is time for me to locate my house and make preparations for this evening. The size and presence of your house is reflected by your standing within the government or within the royal family. Now that I have reached the level of Capt. Onboard a flag ship I received word of my palatial home within the heart of the city not far from the Admiral's and the place of this evenings ball.
A plaque bearing the writing "The Honorable Capt. J. Smith" adorns the door of what I gather to be my new 3 story 5 bedroom home. As I approach the door I am greeted by 3 ladies in white dresses, 2 men in dark suits and a rather large man in all white with a large hat upon his head that almost touches the ceiling. They introduce themselves as Helena, Caroline, Josephine, Martineau, Thomas and the large man introduces himself with a thick accent as Gustaf. I am ushered into the house my coat and shoes removed and a bowl of water brought over in front of me. Helena takes a cloth and gently starts to wash both of my feet, pats them dry and places them into my house shoes. Not being used to such treatment I probably come across as overly thankful and a little embarrassed at such attention. To show those that now share my house my gratitude I ask Helena to sit and humbly kneel before her, repeating the same act of servitude that she had just shown me.
It was at this point that I heard laughter behind me and when I turned my head I noticed for the first time the last member of my new home and family. She was dressed in the same white dresses as the other ladies, but with her framed by the window behind her and the light of the late morning sun streaming in from behind she appeared to me as an angel. I sat motionless still on my knees with the sponge in my hand and mouth a gape as I took in the beauty that would permanently etch itself into my heart and mind. Her laughter was replaced with a smile that I swear flooded the room with light, blinding me to anything else but the angel before me.
I am not sure how long I sat there, but as she crossed the room closing the distance between us I found myself mustering enough strength to pull myself to my feet. With a polite curtsey she introduced herself as Nicolina and with the closeness between us now narrowed, the light scent of her perfume invaded my senses. I suddenly felt light headed and requested that I be shown to my chambers. Caroline jumped up with enthusiasm stating that she would show me to my quarters so I could rest. Not taking my eyes off Nicolina I heard my own voice ask "can you show me?" With a glint in her eye she motioned me to follow her as we passed by everyone else and up the stairs away from the sites and sounds of the rest of the world. As she walked in front of me I could not help but notice that the light from the open windows shown through her dress displaying to me the body that had now became the object of my every thought.
With one final turn at the end of the hall we came into what must be the master bedroom. In the middle of the room laid a giant 4 poster bed much too large for just me. With my present company now turning down the sheets of my bed I had an idea who I would like to share my bed with. For now though I would rest and prepare for this evening and the ball at the Admirals house. As Nicolina excused herself I requested that I be awoken in 4 hours and that a bath is prepared as well as my uniform cleaned and ready for this evening. With a slight grin and a bow of her head she departed the room and left me to rest.
As my eyes opened I was once again on board my ship. I could feel the gentle rocking of the ocean beneath me and the sound of the waves as it slaps against the wooden hull. A strange alluring smell had me rising from the peaceful confines of my bedding. I swing my legs to the edge of the bed and when I stand up I notice I am fully dressed in my uniform minus my coat. I walk quickly to my chamber door and open it peering out on to the deck of my ship. The sun is setting in the west and the heavens woven a tapestry of reds, pinks and oranges that cover the sky. I notice that the decks are clear of people and I hear no noises of the usually bustling ship. I step out onto the deck and the gentle fluttering of something white catches my attention coming from the other side of the main mast. As I walk across the deck the only noises that rings out is the sound of my boots and the creaking of the planks beneath me. The white fluttering becomes what appears to be some kind of cloth rustling in the breeze. As I get closer, the cloth becomes a dress, and as I turn to face the mast I look into her face. Tied to the mast before me is Nicolina, she has been tied to the mast and lies limp. I pull out my knife from the belt around my waist and cut away the ropes around her. As the last strand of rope breaks away I reach out and grab hold of her limp body picking her up into my arms. As I look down at her my senses are again assaulted by her fragrance and I feel a stirring within my loins.
I carry her back to my quarters and lie her down upon my bed. I notice as she lies there still listless that the shoulders of her dress have came down and hang off her body showing all of her shoulder all the way to her rising and falling bosom. I can not help but stare as her breast as they are barely covered by the thin gauze like material and the outline of her nipple press against the fabric. My hands with a seeming mind of there own reach out towards her dress and I trace my fingers over the exposed skin of her shoulder. I can feel her warmth as my touch gets stronger and my hand starts to go lower. I reach the fabric that currently covers her breasts from my gaze and find myself holding it between my fingers as I gently start to pull it down. The fabric moves easily over her satin skin and as my eyes stay fixed to every inch of exposed skin her areola come into view and with one gentle tug her breasts are completely exposed. I peer on at the most beautiful breasts I have ever laid eyes on capped with nipples that make my mouth water.
