This is an update to fix typos and misspellings.
This is the second day of the story of William and Donna meeting and falling in love and into a kinky female-led relationship on a cruise. They are both 65, and each became widows a few years earlier.
Each had taken some of their kids and grandchildren on an end-of-season Alaska cruise and had stayed on by themselves for the Panama Canal repositioning cruise. They met for the first time on the previous day of this story.
All my previous works have been straight-up BDSM stories. This is my attempt to write about a mature couple falling into a female-led, kinky love relationship on a cruise ship. Later chapters will have a BDSM element.
There are no sex acts in this chapter. However, there will be in later chapters.
Each chapter covers one day of the cruise as William and Donna start their slow dance of love.

2nd day: At Sea
The following day, Donna got into her body-hugging yoga workout suit. She loved how her nipples poked up through the fabric and that her camel toe was visible in the tight outfit. She worked hard to maintain a body that still turned male heads. When she got to the gym, William was already on a treadmill, sweating. She liked how it made his shirt cling to his body.
After William got off the treadmill, he went to where she was exercising on an elliptical. "Good Morning, Donna. I've reserved a private cabana in the sanctuary for the rest of the cruise. Would it be forward of me to invite you to join me there today?"
"William, I'd love to. I enjoyed our talks yesterday. After I finish and shower, I'll put my bathing suit on and join you."
Howard had reserved the most expensive of the cabanas. It had a view of the front of the ship and had sides that could be brought down for privacy. Inside was a double lounge chair, a regular lounge chair, and two standard chairs with a table. He had originally reserved it to have a quiet place to read, but his desire had changed, and now he wanted Donna with him. Talking to a woman who might become more than a friend was nice.
When he got to the cabana, he removed his shirt and kicked off his sandals, leaving him dressed only in his regular surfer trunks. He was enjoying a beer when an attendant showed up with Donna. She was wearing a light fabric flowery robe that went to her mid-thigh.
"Hello, Willam. I appreciate the invitation to visit with you here today. I love the view of the front of the ship. I must say you look good without a shirt. Your time in the gym shows. If you need someone to apply sunscreen, I will volunteer."
"Thank you. It's nice to see the hard work noticed. I already sprayed on sunscreen, but now I wish I hadn't.
They both laughed.
Donna untied her robe to reveal an incredibly sexy one-piece bathing with high-cut thighs ending in tied sides and with a deep plunging lace tied-up neckline.
"Wow, Donna, that suit makes you the sexist woman on the ship."
She sat on his lounger and put one hand on his thigh. "Good, I'm glad you like it. I want every man on the ship to be jealous that I am with you. It's from a company called Tempt Me. It's called a sexy lace-up one-piece deep plunge V-neck bathing suit. I think they named it perfectly."
"You certainly pull off the look. Not many women can."
"Thank you, William. I didn't bring this one out when my family was here, but I wanted to wear it for you and see if I could get a rise out of you."
William said, "I think you succeeded." as he turned awkwardly to hide the tent growing in his bathing suit. He failed to hide it from Donna, but she decided not to comment. Her suit had had the effect she wanted. She wanted to land this man and knew she had to set the hook deep before pulling it tight, especially since he clearly had money and didn't know that she also had money. She appreciated that he seemed to like her for just being her. She had to be careful with this process. It was a delicate balance between coming in too strong and scaring him away or coming on too weak and letting him get away. She moved to the other lounger and stretched out.
"I've also got a few more bathing suits that I didn't wear yet as they would have shocked my kids. Maybe I could model them for you later on the cruise?"
William's response made her smile. "Donna set the time and place, and I'll be there with bells on."
William realized how easy it was to laugh with Donna. But then he thought that maybe the only reason that Donna was being friendly to him was because she was a gold digger. After a short mental struggle, he thought, "I'm enjoying being with Donna. I haven't seen any signs she is after my money. If I see any sign, I'll cut this off, but in the meantime, I'm just going to enjoy the ride."
Donna noticed a brief concern sweep across William's face, but then his smile returned, and she thought no more of it.
They talked and read for a few hours. Howard ordered them chicken Caesar salads for lunch with Aperol Spritzes.
Mid-afternoon, William asked, "Would you like to share a private table for dinner for the whole cruise? I've also got a couple of reservations at the specialty restaurants."
She responded in an abysmal southern accent, "Now William, I do declare. Are you asking me to be your cruise ship steady? Isn't that a bit presumptuous, given we only met yesterday?"
He suddenly lost his courage and confidence, "I didn't mean to be so forward...."
She leaned over and put her hand on his upper thigh, close to his cock. "William, I was trying to be funny, and it bombed. Let me answer you again. William, nothing would make this cruise more pleasant than to have my dinners with you, except having dinner, going to the shows, and then dancing the night away with you."
William let out a long sigh of relief. He'd thought he'd crossed some line of no return, but he had not. "Then it's settled. You're my cruise ship steady. I don't have a letterman jacket or class ring for you to wear. I only have the bag with the cruise ship's logo on it."
"I'll take a rain check of something else of yours, but only for a few days. I'm sure you'll figure out something exciting of yours for me to receive."
William thought he'd love to let Donna receive his cock in her pussy, but decided not to share that thought.
However, Donna noticed his eyes focus on her pussy momentarily and knew precisely what he was thinking as she talked. Good thing, that was what she was hoping for. She aimed to capture William as her submissive lover and felt he was falling into her web. She had enjoyed calling the shots of the sexual games she had played with her late husband. Outside the bedroom, she wanted a partner, but inside the bedroom, she was the queen. She wasn't sure if William could maintain that balance, but she wanted to find out.
After reading for a while, William decided to look at the schedule for the evening's entertainment. "Donna, tonight's show is a comedy hypnotist. Have you ever seen that before?"
"I've seen it at the county fair. I think it's fake."
"No, they are real. It's just that the Hypnotist knows how to quickly select people who are extroverted exhibitionists who are easy to get into a trace and like being the center of attention. The early show is family-friendly, and the late show is restricted to people over 18. Let's go to the late show. It should be more fun."
"Have you ever been one of the volunteers?"
"No,"
"If I video you, would you do it?"
"Well, I should try it once. As long as you video it so I can watch it later."
"William, I wouldn't miss the opportunity to capture your performance."
After a pleasant afternoon, he promised to pick her up for the suite and frequent cruisers' reception at 5 p.m.
He wore dark blue slacks, a light blue dress shirt, and black dancing shoes.
When she answered his knock, his jaw dropped. "You look amazing."
"You like it? It's a perfect dress for a night on the town. It covers enough so I don't get arrested but reveals enough to keep my date's attention."
"It will, but you would have had my full attention even if you had been dressed like an Amish woman."
"Thank you for making me feel special." She kissed him on the cheek.
