Chapter 04 - Rough Waters
1 - Unexpected Guest
"What the f...?"
I couldn't finish my sentence. I had been at work for almost 16 hours straight and came home on board my motor yacht 'R&D Time' at 2:20 AM. Almost 2 hours sooner than I had expected when I started work Friday morning.
I had walked in through the locked sliding glass door from the back deck into the living room. I had turned on the light to check on things and to see my way to the stateroom. I was greeted by the sight of Mrs. L____ sleeping on the leather sofa, totally nude. She was breathing slowly and evenly in deep sleep. There was an empty wine glass on its side on the end table and a light blanket lying in a heap on the floor in front of the sofa. But that wasn't the only mess. Mrs. L____ looked like raw hamburger--at least on her tits and tummy. Clearly not sunburn--I could tell the aftermath of flogging instantly. She'd been worked over hard. I love the look of a woman's body after I've lovingly spanked, flogged, or whipped her to frenzied pleasure, and bearing deep red marks and bruises. But in this case... nothing... I was pissed Mrs. L____ was here... on my boat, in my private space, passed out-- and she had clearly received an intense flogging from Reena and/or Danielle. Some sexual activity we hadn't talked about or agreed to had occurred. My temper rose.
The room light hadn't roused her totally from sleep but was uncomfortable enough for her to raise her hand to shield her eyes. Then she rolled over onto her other side and continued her slow, even breathing of deep sleep. Her back, ass, and the back of her thighs were pink and red-- like her front. Her beautiful, supple ass was especially deep red.
I stopped by the galley for a glass of water and to simmer down. I noted a wine glass had been thrown against the backsplash. The glass was broken, and wine had splashed widely on the walls and counter. Someone had gotten angry.
I was bewildered about what to expect or say when I went to bed with Reena and Danielle, and if I happened to wake them. I was exhausted and at least one of them was angry. I figured I'd better keep my cool, get some sleep, and get to the bottom of what had happened in the morning.
I crept softly to the stateroom and turned off the living area light before opening the bedroom door. Moonlight from the forward window cast a dim glow on the king-size bed. Danielle was alone in the very middle. I had never known Reena and Danielle to sleep apart. Fuck! They must have had a big argument.
I slipped out of the stateroom and checked the guest bedroom. Reena was there in the queen-size bed. I could see dried tear tracks on her cheeks. I thought better of waking either R or D.
There was a pullout bed under the table in the galley. I decided to sleep on that. It was halfway between the two bedrooms and the sofa where Mrs. L____ was sleeping. I was so tired that I fell asleep immediately.
2 - Raw emotions
Sometime around 6 AM, I woke from hearing a closing door. Then I heard low voices followed by louder, angry talking. It soon settled down to lower voices again, then loud sobbing. It sounded like it was coming from the guest bedroom.
I was frozen, unsure whether to leave R & D to sort it out by themselves or pop my head into the room to check on them. I decided I would likely mix things up worse until they sorted it out themselves first, particularly since I was so tired that my brain was working at half-speed. I dozed off again for what seemed like a few minutes but was about two hours. I felt a gentle nudge on my shoulder. I opened my bleary eyes to see R & D looming over me, both of them looking tired and upset.
"We should talk," Danielle spoke in a low, trembling voice. "Before Cyn... Mrs. L____ wakes up. You should know the story of why she's here."
Reena nodded in agreement and gulped, a guilty look plastered to her face.
I moaned for coffee, then smelled it just as Reena announced: "Started...should be ready in a few minutes."
I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "I'm torn between wanting to know what happened...and
not
wanting to know what the fuck happened. I'll keep an open mind but I figure there's a clusterfuck we'll need to deal with."
"Let's go to the stateroom with our coffees so Mrs. L____ doesn't hear us," I suggested, "although it sounds like you are on a first-name basis with 'Cyn'."
R & D both gulped.
In the stateroom, the whole story gushed out: how impressive the L____'s yacht was, the slow, steady stream of champagne all day, the fancy brunch, the gym workout, the shower, the massages, dinner, and finally back here to my yacht. I asked about the massage because I could sense from the way they mentioned it, and the way they mentioned
Philippe's
name (with a bit of gushing awe), that it was the most pleasant part of the afternoon. They described the experience with Philippe. I'm sure they tried to tone it down to keep me from getting jealous but they were obviously very impressed by his skills... and his personality...and his looks. And I was jealous.
They had learned from Mrs.L____ later on my yacht while she was getting drunk on the red wine that Philippe was
more
than a masseuse. She explained that Philippe
had
been a masseuse in his early twenties but he had a real flair for business and in the past fifteen years (he was now 44) he had established three therapeutic massage clinics in the area. He had over eighty employees, including massage therapists, physiotherapists, nutritionists, and support staff. Philippe owned a cabin cruiser in the marina and was a friend of Cyn's. She was pretty much the only person he gave massages to now-- as a personal favor-- but Cyn had made it clear she insisted on paying him for his time and expertise. (As we were to learn later, Philippe also renders
'other'
services for Mrs. L____, but those are mutual pleasure exchanges where no money changes hands.)
"OK," I breathed out slowly after I heard the unfolding but unfinished story. I was sitting hunched over, elbows on my knees, my hands gripping the hair in front of each ear. "Tell me more about
after
'Cyn' came aboard my boat. I didn't just notice that she was asleep on my sofa, apparently recovering from a night of drinking... she is completely naked... and covered front and back with some pretty serious signs of flogging. Maybe tell me about
that
." I barely managed to control my temper and my voice.
R & D stammered. More guilty looks passed between them.
"Well," Reena started, "things kinda spun out of control. She had been so generous and gracious as a host that we couldn't very well
not
invite her back. I guess we figured that in the comfort of our own home, we could maintain better control of her as her hosts than we could as her guests."
Danielle nodded in agreement.
"Anyway," Reena continued, "we hadn't hit the red wine yet" Then she added: "No drinking before/during BDSM play! That's the rule!" She acted a bit animated and silly for a few seconds while making that last statement, raising her voice, smiling, and twirling her right index finger in the air, obviously trying to add a bit of levity to the tense atmosphere. My scowl killed the levity.
Reena paused, then continued "We had only a faint buzz from the champagne. But one thing led to another...and before we knew it, we had Cyn tied to a St. Andrew's cross. I think she figured she was going to be the top - she's so rich and powerful, and a more experienced lady-- but was likely playing bottom at the start to get us in the mood for her to top us later. Danielle and I knew that would not work with her as our top. In the end, I think Cyn really enjoyed being bottom. She loved being flogged... went wild, in fact."
"OK, so you had sex with a really wealthy woman, who lives on the biggest motor yacht here in the marina, and her husband is a rich and powerful businessman...", I started my recap of what I had heard.
Danielle piped in "Well, we didn't
really
have sex with her. I mean we didn't fuck her or eat her pussy or anything. We barely even touched her with our bare hands other than when we tied her up. The flogging was kind of indirect contact..." her voice fizzled out, as she realized how weak her argument sounded.
Danielle started up again. "And I should point out: she's as rich as he is. She was independently wealthy before she married Kenneth..." her voice trailed off.
Reena gulped guiltily. "I guess we should add that Danielle and I put on some latex and fucked each other in front of Cyn, sort of to torment her, give her some pleasure in watching us, but ultimately we denied her having sex with us."
"To tease and torment her?" I sputtered. "Are you crazy? She and her husband can ruin us! They're fucking rich and powerful."
Danielle added: "It's not like that. She loved it! After our sex performance for her, we left her bound on the cross, stuffed 'Stan the stand' into her, and then used the wand vibrator attachment to bring her to multiple orgasms. She was very happy and stuck around for a few hours after, drinking red wine. When that bottle ran out we started a second..."
"Oh my fuck..." I groaned into my palms, slowly shaking my head while my fingers dug at my eyes.
(shifting backward in time...)
3 - Crying in the Night - what happened before I got home
A few hours before I got home... after the multiple orgasms Cyn received from 'Stan the stand' and the electric wand vibrator, R & D had shut down their "sex show". They sensed from Cyn's disorganized speech that she was in subspace. They untied her from the St. Andrew's cross, and supported her weight, hugging her firmly between them and caressing her. After a few minutes, Cyn gained some strength but still needed to be helped to a bed. Reena carried Cyn to the stateroom and placed her on the bed.
R & D sat on either side of her, talking to her and making sure Cyn was coming down from her endorphin high. After about an hour of light talk, Cyn roused nicely and wanted to go home. Reena and Danielle didn't think that was a good idea. They invited her to stay.
Eventually, Cyn insisted she was OK and wanted to sit in the living room to chat--and to drink some wine. Cyn was able to walk with no difficulties at all. She refused to dress, though, stating it was a beautiful warm night... and her body was a bit too sore for clothing at the moment--but it might be possible after a bit of numbing from alcohol, 'Cyn' had joked.
