Cruise Fantasy

Carol

"I've been doing some soul searching, Jan." I said, as we sat sipping wine in my living room. "Come December, it'll be a year since my divorce. A good time to celebrate and, as you have been prodding me, get out and start dating again."

"Finally," Jan replied. "I know, it's not uncommon for people going through a divorce to throw their whole life into their job. And girl, did you ever and it paid off. You got a nice promotion but at a cost though. I'm so happy to hear that you're ready to get back to normal life. I think you should celebrate your anniversary by getting away from everything and enjoying life for a change."

"What do you suggest?"

"Well, you know how much John and I like to cruise. We think it's the best way to really get pampered. There's always something going on and, who knows, you might meet a handsome stranger and... ah... have a fling."

"You're funny too. You only hear stories of that happening. Somehow, I don't see that as a remote possibility."

"Just be open to the possibility. And besides, why not? You're young and attractive and available."

"And short."

"Petite."

"Guys look at my breasts and think I'm flat-chested."

Jan laughed and said, "Guys like that aren't worth fucking and no, you are not flat-chested. Remember, I've seen you naked many times and believe me, you have a great body that should be flaunted."

"Thanks Jan, you're the best. And I mean that."

"Glad to help girlfriend. Now, let's get you on a cruise ship and signed up for some fun excursions."

The bar was busy as usual during happy hour. It was fall and the temperature was cool which meant there wouldn't be many people on the patio. Dave and I headed there and found a table near a heater. "I tell you Dave, Cindy really surprised me."

"What'd you expect when you wouldn't let her move in with you?" he asked.

"True, but I wasn't expecting her to go off like she did. I look at it now as I dodged a bullet."

"What are you going to do?"

"Well, it looks like I'll be going solo on the cruise that I was hoping to take with Cindy."

"Is this your regular December cruise?"

"Yep. It's nice to go to the Caribbean that time of year and enjoy the sun and warm water."

"And look at girls in bikinis."

"And that too."

"Who knows, maybe you'll catch one for a fling. Wouldn't sex on the high seas be the perfect cruise?"

"That never happens in real life, Dave."

"You never know. Some sweet lovely will come your way and... ah... you'll be doing more than snorkeling," he said with a big grin.

"Dream on," I replied.

"Speaking of warm water and snorkeling, do you have many more scuba classes to teach before you cruise?"

"I have a couple more pool and classroom weekends yet to teach. The open water checkouts are over until next spring. Ya know, every class is different and each has their own challenges which is part of the fun of teaching."

"I'm sorry about Cindy but, as you said, you dodged a bullet. You've cruised solo before, so I know you'll go and enjoy yourself."

"You and your lovely wife should join me."

"We'd love to. It's a matter of schedules and everything. One of these days we may surprise you."

Carol

Not having cruised, I was happy to have Jan's help in choosing what to pack. She looked through my entire wardrobe and selected day and evening wear. Formal nights aren't what they use to be, so I didn't need to over pack. Comfort and simple was her motto. She insisted and we purchased a new white bikini. "Just in case my dear, and you should definitely wear it around the adults only pool," she stated. Then she laughed and said, "You'll cause a lot of hard-ons when you walk past the men."

I wasn't going to argue.

When we arrived back at my place, I put on the bikini, and was very pleased. It fit me nicely and was just daring enough for my taste. Jan took a picture and sent it to her husband. A few minutes later her phone rang. "John says you look great in that bikini. Very sexy." Then she read more of the message and laughed. "He said: Now that I'm turned-on, what'll I do the rest of the day?"

Jan paused and then with a big grin typed, "Save your hard-on for tonight." She looked at me and said, "When he walks through the door, his cock will be rock hard and ready for action."

Over the years, Jan and I have shared intimate details of our sex life. When it came to sex, our conversations were graphic and erotic. "What's your plan?"

"This will be more of a quickie, so I'll be on the bed with a vibrator in my cunt. He'll be a tease by undressing in front of me and then he'll replace that toy with his wonderful hard cock. Hopefully, I'll cum a couple of times before he does."

I closed my eyes and sighed. "For a long time, I've lived my sex life vicariously through you and the fun you've had with John.

"You've gone far too long without a good fuck, Carol. We need to fix that."

"Yep. The last fuck session I had was with my husband before we separated. Since then, all I've had are my toys. Can you believe it, my dildo was a better fuck than he was?"

"Are you taking any on the cruise?"

"Absolutely. Thanks to your suggestion, I purchased the dildo and lube you recommended that should get past the TSA folks without drawing any attention. I like using a toy when I'm reading my romance novels and I've packed a few racy books for the trip."

"I think you'll like that lube. It works well for giving your man a hand-job too."

"I can only dream of that kinda fun." I chuckled and said, "I just realized that none of the main female characters in the romance novels I've read, ever gave their man a hand-job or used a vibrator."

"Maybe you should write your own novel."

"Who knows? And if I do, you and John can be my editors."

The time flew by, and I was booked on a ship I had sailed many times. I like to take it easy so I had flown to Ft. Lauderdale a day before sailing to spend the night at my favorite hotel. I could sleep in, have a leisurely breakfast, and take their shuttle to the ship. Packing is simple and I can do it all with just carry-on luggage. I don't scuba dive when I cruise. I prefer a more relaxed trip, so I'll just snorkel instead. It also gives me the opportunity and good locations to do some free diving.

Everything was routine and dinner, as usually, was wonderful. I had seven more table mates and we all were single. Of the seven, two were women who were sisters-in-law. A wide variety of ages and travel experiences. I wasn't the youngest and everyone was friendly.

The first full day is a day at sea. Unfortunately, the gym was packed, which is typical on a sea day, especially in the mornings although I did the best I could and got in a decent workout. I grabbed a book and headed to the adult pool.

It wasn't too crowded, and I was able to secure a lounge chair in the shade. I looked around at the various bodies and noticed that there were a few people my age. I spent a leisure day and chatted with several people in the hot tub and made a big dent in my novel.

Evening came and I had a pleasant dinner with my table mates. None had planned to do any snorkeling the next day. The stage show was enjoyable and after, I listened to a combo in one of the lounges before heading to bed.

Carol

My first cruise and I was excited. Jan's advice and support was wonderful. She walked me through everything, including a place to stay the night before and signed me up for various excursions including snorkeling. I'm not a strong swimmer but she assured me I'd be fine.

When I arrived at the hotel, I discovered a gift in my suitcase. It was nicely wrapped, and the attached card had explicit instructions that I was not to open it until I was on the ship. Leave it to Jan to do something like that.

Boarding the ship was one line after another but the folks there know how to move people and soon, I was standing in my cabin. Due to cost considerations, particularly when you travel solo, I booked an interior cabin. It was nice and I was pleased with it.

With a map in hand, I wondered around to get the lay of the ship. Jan told me it's a hotel on water and now I know exactly what she meant. There was just about everything you could want. I can see why she and John love to cruise.

At dinner, I was taken to a table for eight but only five of us were there. I was the only single with the two couples. We waited a bit for the others then finally ordered. "It's not uncommon," one person remarked. "They may elect to do the specialty dinner or eat on the Lido deck. I've been on cruises where we never had a full table."

I was the only newbie cruiser. The two couple were seasoned cruisers and I they talked about their many travel adventures. I was given all kinds of useful advice. The traveling my ex had promised never happened. I resolved then and there to change that. Solo or not.

The Broadway show was spectacular, and I headed to my cabin to see what Jan gave me.

I laughed out loud when I opened the package. It was a red thong. The note inside read, 'Hopefully you'll find a use for this'.

To play along, I undressed and put on the thong and after a few attempts, I was able to get a picture to send to Jan. I logged onto the ship's internet and sent Jan an email along with the picture. "Thanks, Jan, for the lovely and thoughtful gift. The cruise is all you said it would be. Unfortunately, no man worthy of my thong. YET..."

I was naked except for the thong. I felt sexy and I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my body from different angles. "Good things come in small packages," I said to the person in the mirror. Then I laughed and said, "Including a gift from Jan."

I heard the ding from my phone and saw it was a reply from Jan. 'Glad you enjoyed it. Who knows, you might meet a guy worthy of removing it. PS: WE enjoyed your photo'.

I couldn't help but notice the 'WE' part. Thinking of John pounding Jan's pussy made me horny. I retrieved my dildo, jacked off and finally went to sleep.

The first day was a sea day and I ate breakfast alone then headed to the gym. What a crowd. I was able to do most of my normal workout and then after a shower, I checked out the various activities listed on the daily planner. Unlike my ex, I didn't spend any time in the casino.

The day passed quickly enough and at dinner it was the same group. We talked about the day, the ship, and plans for tomorrow. I was the only one going snorkeling.

Before I called it a night, I sent an email to Jan: 'Great day and cruising is fun. No thong guy. YET'.

Larry

Meals, like breakfast, on a cruise ship are always great. I had my favorite, an omelet with everything.

I had signed up for the morning snorkel excursion. It was one of those large group activities that becomes more of a party boat, particularly after consuming their potent rum punch.

The dress code is simple: swimsuit and tee shirt and flip-flops. I grabbed my mask and snorkel and headed to the designated area on the pier.

There was a good crowd and fortunately, not enough to make the boat feel crowded. A good age mixture including some families. As we headed out, equipment was issued with instructions. With fins and snorkel vest in hand, I head to the front of the catamaran to enjoy the ride. It was a perfect day. The sea was calm, and the sun was bright. Little did I know what lay ahead.

We motored for about thirty minutes before dropping an anchor near a reef. I stayed back as the masses jumped in the water. I had no sooner jumped in when I saw a woman collide with another woman. In her effort to maneuver out of the way, she kicked another snorkeler in the face and I saw a mask go flying off.

I quickly swam over to the latest victim. She'd gotten a mouth full of sea water and she was kicking and splashing trying to recover. I grabbed her vest and, despite her actions, was able to put some air in it. I held her and reassured her that she was ok, and she wouldn't sink. She soon settled down and we just floated together for a few moments. What a blue-eyed cutie I thought.

"Thank you very much," she said.

"My pleasure. I'm sorry you got kicked like that and I'm pretty sure the lady who did it had no idea what she'd done."

"My first snorkeling adventure and this happens." Suddenly her eyes got big and with a bit of panic in her voice said, "My mask!! What about my mask?"

I looked down and saw her mask on the sand. "No problem, I'll go down and get it."

She looked at me with a bit of astonishment and surprise.

The dive to the mask and snorkel was easy and I soon placed them in her hand.

"I don't know how to thank you," she said with a big smile.

"Well, if you're available, how about lunch if you're free."

She kissed me on the cheek and said, "I'd be very happy to join you."

"By the way, my name is Larry,"

"Carol."

"Earlier, you said that this was your first-time snorkeling. With your permission, I'd be happy to escort you around the reef, point out things of interest, and hopefully, protect you from any more errant fins."

"You are so kind and thank you. But, just to warn you, I'm not a strong swimmer."

"No problem. Just float and relax. Let your legs do the work." I adjusted her mask and the air in her vest. I held her hand and side by side, we headed to the reef.

Everyone was spread out, so it was easy for us to see a lot of the reef. We stopped several times, and I would tell her what fish or type of coral was below her feet. She never let go of my hand. We were among the last to leave the reef and head back to the boat.

I knew Carol was short based on our time in the water. When I stood beside her on the deck, I was a full head taller. Petite, brunette, blue eyed, and a nice body. Able to overcome a mishap too. Things are definitely looking up. Dave won't believe this. She looked up at me, squeezed my hand and said, "That was absolutely wonderful."

"It was my pleasure. I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you give me your gear, I'll turn it in."

"Thanks. I'll get in the refreshment line. Where are you sitting?"

"At the very front."

Seeing her as she came near gave me a thrill and I quickly made an adjustment for my growing member.

She looked at me and smiled. Then she handed me a cup of rum punch and a bag of chips and said, "The best in the house."

"This wasn't the lunch I promised," I said with a grin.

She laughed and said, "Yeah, I was hoping for a better dining option. Sooo, tell me, Larry, how come you know so much about what we just did? And thanks again for.... ah.... everything."

"I'm a scuba diver and I make it a practice to learn about what's under the waves. I do these excursions to practice my free diving."

"For that I am very grateful. So, what do you do when you aren't rescuing someone like me?"

I laughed and said, "It's not often I get to come to the aid of a pretty damsel in distress. I'm an engineer by profession and I work for a local utility. My hobby job is a scuba instructor."

"That explains why and how you took care of me. Nothing like being a damsel in distress, as you say, and be rescued by a handsome knight in... ah... swimsuit."

The boat sailed around for a while and during that time I learned more about Carol. First cruise, single, an accountant, very friendly and nice to look at. We live in cities that are a few states apart.

Back on the ship, we elected to shower before lunch, and I suggested we meet at Guy's Burgers. "They are the best," I remarked.

I couldn't believe my luck. What a looker. Just thinking about her and a shipboard fling had me excited. "Take it easy, Larry," I said to the guy in the bathroom mirror. "Just let things happen."

Carol

I started the day nervous, and wondered what Jan got me into. She's never failed me, and had assured me that snorkeling was easy. She reminded me more than once, "You just float, Carol." I wore my one-piece swimsuit under my shorts and tee shirt and headed to breakfast. I took my time before going ashore to the designated location on the pier for the excursion.

There was a pretty large crowd with a mixture of ages, body shapes, couples, and even some children. The boat was a large catamaran and it accommodated everyone with ease. I picked a spot and was soon sitting in my swimsuit listening to instructions. Mask, snorkel, and vest were issued. A crew member came around and asked my shoe size. He gave me a pair of fins, checked their fit, then moved on. I was ready. Little did I know what was to happen next.

The boat dropped its anchor and people started jumping in. I held back until most had gone and then I took the plunge. I looked around to get my bearings and as I looked back at the boat, I got kicked hard in the face. Suddenly, my eyes were burning, I'm spitting out water, and I'm trying to get air.

I was a mess and wanted to scream and would have only I was still choking. A man swam up to me, put his arm around me, and then added some air to my vest. He held me and said I was ok, and I wouldn't sink. He was calm and so reassuring that I began to relax. We held each other and floated for a few moments.

My eyes stopped burning, and I found myself looking at a handsome stranger. I thanked him and he told me what had happened. I mentioned something about this was my first snorkel adventure when it hit me, my mask and snorkel were gone. He said, "No problem." He dove down and a few moments later, put my mask in my hand.

I was thrilled and thanked him. Then this handsome savior asked me to lunch if I had not made any plans. I immediately made the assumption that he was single and available. I was elated and kissed him. I wanted to plant a wet kiss on his lips but didn't. I didn't want to be too forward and scare him off.

We introduced ourselves and he offered to show me the reef. I warned him I wasn't a strong swimmer and he said that wasn't a problem. He further impressed me by adjusting my mask, the air in my vest, and some snorkeling technique instructions. He took my hand, and I had no intention of letting go.

Once on the reef he pointed out all kinds and manner of sea life. I couldn't help but laugh to myself when I saw that my feet stopped at his knees. I saw a lot of the reef and we were among the last to board the boat. I had a fabulous time, all thanks to Larry.

My handsome guy became my tall handsome guy when I stood next to him on the deck. I squeezed his hand and, with all sincerity, told him how wonderful it all was.

He took care of our gear and after getting some refreshments, I joined him. If my swimsuit wasn't padded, he would have seen two hard nipples making their presence known. I think I detected a shift in the way he was sitting. It looked like he pulled at the elastic band and I felt a reaction down below.

We drank punch... more than one cup... munched on chips, and got to know each other better. What a very nice guy. Engineer and a scuba instructor. I would thank the woman who kicked me in the face if I knew who it was.

Before long, we were boarding the ship once again. I needed a shower and Larry suggested we meet at Guy's Burgers. It was a date.

I couldn't believe my luck. I really liked my knight in swimsuit, and I hoped he felt the same about me. The idea of a 'fling', as Jan had suggested, suddenly wasn't a fantasy anymore. I'd not dated anyone since the separation and divorce; what a way to end my exile from sex and start anew.

The shower felt nice and I took my time as I washed off the salt water and thought about making my fling a reality. The more I thought, the more excited I became, and horny too. To relieve a growing ache, I held the shower nozzle against my pussy and jacked off.

Larry

At the appointed time, Carol walked through the Lido deck doorway. Punctuality is a big plus for me and so far, she was a ten. When she spotted me, she waved and gave me a big smile. She squeezed my hand and said, "Miss me?"
