This story is set in late 1970s Quebec City Canada, and is based on the recollections of a dear friend, who was kind and brave enough to allow me to chronicle his cherished memories.
*****
We had docked earlier that day and were due to be in Quebec City for about ten days as we had a large amount of cargo to discharge and then even more to load. For once we had knocked off early, so Tommy and I decided to head into town for a walk and a few quiet drinks, not on the raz, but to relax and unwind. I'm a twenty-three-year-old Chief Electrical Engineer, while Tommy was about ten years older than me and a Mechanical Engineer, over a previous voyage and during the start of this trip, due to a few mutual interests we had developed a firm friendship.
After strolling around for a bit, taking in the sights and getting a feel for the city, we headed to Le ChΓ’teau Frontenac, strolling into the cocktail bar we took a seat at the bar and ordered a couple of Labatt's. It was early evening and the bar was starting to fill with the early evening crowd.
We noticed a pair of very attractive looking women at a nearby table, they were in their forties, but only just in their forties, the age difference between Tommy and the two women was not so much, but for me it was a lot more. A few looks were exchanged and the two women were definitely interested, welcome to Quebec!
If I had been on my own or with someone younger I probably would not have looked at them twice due to the obvious age gap, this being a time when "Cougars," "MILFs," or "Toy Boys" weren't that prevalent.
We weren't out on the pull, but two good looking, obviously sexy and interested women was an opportunity not to be passed up on so we went over and got talking to them. Surprisingly, we got on really well from the off, instinctively pairing off by mutual consent. Tommy was with Pascale a short brunette with a good figure. Micheline at first sight seemed taller, with a full figure, not as full as Pascale, but she still filled her clothes nicely, a bit fuller than my normal preference, of slender girls, with heavy looking firm boobs and a nice rounded arse, round face with intense penetrating green eyes, that somehow seemed to know everything that was going through your mind, blonde wavy hair cut short and close to her head.
Very classy and sexy, very sophisticated, elegant.
When they got up to go to the rest-room we got a better view of their figures and they were both stunning, elegantly dressed in well-cut expensive trousers and silk blouses, as guessed at, figures were full but firm. Micheline's arse swayed as she walked away from me, more than it should have, I'm sure, putting on a show, saying look what I've got, but it seemed natural not forced, a confident, mature, sexy woman. I'm never shy or intimidated by anything but these two seemed way out of my league, more experienced and worldly, fully mature, confident women.
After a couple of more drinks the girls reluctantly said they had to leave, so as we parted we asked them to a party that was being held on-board the ship the next night, Friday, it was for shore-side personnel and ships agents that sort of thing, something we had to do at times, but we could also ask who we wanted. After a moment's hesitation they agreed asking if they could also bring a friend, the more the merrier we replied.
The next night we met the girls as agreed and directed them to the ship, me in Micheline's car, Tommy with Pascale, getting them through security was no problems, their friend Colette was another good-looking woman, a bit younger than them but much skinnier, she seemed happy to pair off with Paul, the Third Mate.
Micheline looked stunning, encased in a turquoise silk dress, cut just below the knee and high necked, elegant, refined and very, very sexy in an understated way. The dress clung to her figure as she moved, mid high heeled, black shiny shoes completed her look. Every man's eyes lingered on her as she walked into the wardroom, conversation stopping for a second. I was in awe, this woman, who was having such an effect on all the men who saw her was with me. As long as I could hold onto her anyway.
All the other officers were drooling over her, falling over themselves to get her a drink or something from the buffet. She was pleasant and gracious with all of them but never left my side, even to have a dance with anyone else, it was as though we were welded together. She clung to my arm, the only time she wasn't was when she slipped an arm around my waist. And I was surprisingly relaxed and growing more confident in her captivating presence.
The party spread out from the officers' bar to the boat deck as the night was warm and the air soft, Micheline and I following the crowd, and over a drink, I asked her if she wanted to have a look around the ship. She looked at me quizzically, wondering if this was a ruse to get her into my cabin, well it was, but not yet, I honestly wanted to show her around and get to know her more, away from the crowd.
A quick tour of the accessible areas and we were soon on the other side of the boat deck, away from the crowd, I turned to her, placing one hand lightly on her hip, she looked at me with amusement in her eyes as I moved closer, my other arm snaking around her back. She didn't resist or pull away, just looked at me questioningly, I pulled her closer still, bent my head and we kissed. I didn't kiss her, we just kissed, a natural thing. A long, slow, smouldering kiss, a kiss full of expectancy and hope, a kiss that quickly grew in intensity and passion. Waves and waves of desire and longing for this mature woman spread through me. I wanted her, I wanted to make love to her and I mean make love, not have sex.
I knew making love to her would be like nothing I had done before, and she would teach me things I could never learn elsewhere.
Her hands cradled my head as we kissed, eventually we broke off, both gasping for breath, shocked from the passion and lust the kiss had engendered in both of us.
Hands on her hips I looked deeply into her piercing green eyes and whispered, "Micheline, vous-les-vous faire l'amour avec Moi ce Soir?"
