I.
We finished dinner and had drinks on the fantail. Nadia and Pudge went off to our room for something. There was music and a couple of the girls started dancing. The night air had cooled slightly, but it was still quite pleasant. I nursed a glass of Irish whiskey over ice while I watched the scene.
Misty and Denise were the first to get up to dance. They brought their new toy onto the dance floor with them. The music was slow. Misty took the boy into her arms, and they started to sway. Denise brought her massive form up behind him and wrapped her arms around him and Misty. I thought I knew how this might go and was not wrong. Misty brought her head over the boy's shoulder. Denise met her in a kiss. They both started to grind against their trapped quarry. The poor boy squirmed and fought helplessly against the crush of their powerful hard bodies. Misty grabbed Denise's muscled ass that strained against her tight black leather pants. Misty pulled Denise even harder against the trapped man. The grinding had its predictable effect on the boy. I saw his body spasm and he came in his pants.
Misty pulled her lips back from Denise's and giggled. She smiled wryly at the boy and kissed him. Then, mercilessly, she pulled her body into him. He was crushed against the brick wall of Denise's muscular body. He fought the crush with all he had, but it was nowhere near enough. Misty giggled again as the boy passed out from lack of air. The girls released their smashing embrace and the boy collapsed in a heaving heap on the floor. They returned to their embracing kiss indifferent to the crushed body beside them.
I shook my head. The physical asymmetry that had developed between men and women was difficult enough to grasp. The aggression and indifference that women now seemed so comfortable with was more alarming. I stretched my aching back a neck and considered my bruised and battered body. This was just from a few days of unrestrained sex with a woman -- women -- who cared about me. They didn't intend for me to be hurt. It just sort of happened. It was almost like an industrial accident -- the sort of thing that happens when weak flesh and frail bone has a run in with metal and machine. In this case, the metal and machine were the ridiculously strong and unbreakable bodies of women, and the machine was the power those bodies could exert. The weak flesh and frail bone was still that of men -- just, in this case, it was "only" men. If Misty and Denise's male plaything looked like he'd been run through a thresher it was because he had been.
Off in the shadows I could hear more muffled moans. I poked my head around the corner to see what was up and found the source. Beth and one of her boys were making out on a bench on the starboard side of the boat. I got the sense that, while the boy was willing, Beth was doing most of the taking here. She had the guy lock in an embrace that he clearly wasn't getting out of. As I looked closer I got a senso of the reason for her distraction. One of the other boys has going down on her under her dress. He clearly wasn't having as good a time as Beth was. She had her legs locked around his head. The guy was struggling uselessly to pull free and probably struggling to breathe. In her absent bliss Beth kept crushing his face into her sex. The third guy -- pants ripped off -- was passed out on the deck. Jesus, I thought, she's been through one guy and is halfway through two others. It hadn't been twenty minutes since we'd gotten up from dinner. I flexed my aching back and wondered how any of the male guests aboard were going to make it through the night.
"Dance with me", came an order from behind me. I turned. It was Midge. She stepped close to me and took my glass out of my hand. She loomed over me her heels. She would have been taller than me regardless, but the heels made her about a full head taller. She was like a slightly taller Nadia I thought. Maybe not as filled out overall, but a little more buxom and probably just a little more toned -- a benefit of youth. Her backless minidress was a shimmering silvery spaghetti-strap shrift that clung to her body in a way that I had to admit, despite my shame, was incredibly sexy. She emptied my glass except for the ice. "Ice?" She questioned, adding a disapproving head shake and a mockingly terse, "Simon..."
"I know," I offered, "I could find myself ejected from the Callahan family for such atrocities."
"Well, I don't know about those snooty Callahan's," She replied, "But we shanty-Irish Ryan's take our whiskey straight." She smiled, pour herself at least a double, and drank it. She put the glass down and grabbed me by the hand. "Now dance with me," she commanded again as she dragged me effortlessly to the dance floor. I resisted in protest, but, as overmatched physically as I was, I don't think she noticed.
I put my right arm around her waist. Not finding a fabric-covered place to put my hand, I rested against the young girls toned lower back. Her skin was taut, soft, and warm. Midge draped her long left arm over my shoulder and puller herself uncomfortably close. She would have done the same with her other arm, but I took her hand in mine in an effort to create some space. We swayed with the music for a few seconds when she spoke. "Nadia was right," she said matter-of-factly.
I had to know, "Right about what, Midget?"
She smiled as she squeezed her hand around mine just enough that I winced, and replied, "You are a lousy dancer." With that she took her arm from my shoulder to my waist and spun me around so fast I couldn't count how many times she turned before she stopped. I do know I was dizzy and unsteady on my feet when she did. I managed, just barely, to keep my balance.
Midge smiled at me, put both arms around me to hold me steady, and said, "Are you okay, there little guy?" She pulled me closer to her -- close enough that her firm young tits pressed into me and added, "You really should be more careful about who give nicknames to." She gave me a squeeze to emphasize her point. She took hold of my wrist and dragged me from the dance floor commanding, "Let's go somewhere we can talk."
II.
Again I considered objecting, but it was clear that, whatever Midge wanted to talk about was important to her. She also had an iron lock on my wrist, so it was also clear that I was going wherever she was going. In this case that happened to be the foredeck. The moon had not yet risen, and it was clear night. From the darkened foredeck one could see just about every star in creation. She came to a stop on a padded bench that faced the bow. We sat and both looked up at the sea of stars.
I was a little on guard. If Midge brought here because her male friend had left and I was left alone and vulnerable when Nadia and Pudge went to our stateroom, then I was definitely in trouble. I had trouble imagining the 13-year-old girl I knew taking me against my will. Of course, I also had trouble imagining that girl curling a 500lb barbell and I had seen that happen with my own eyes. If the latter had come to pass, might also the former? Midge was family, after all. But, then, I had seen how sex-mad women had become, so anything might be possible. There was a weird silence that I decided had to be broken.
"So what did want to talk about, Midget?" I asked with a nervous smile.
She stuck her tongue out at me. "You won't think your stupid little nickname is so funny when I toss you overboard," she answered. She continued, "So what's really the deal with you and Nadia and Jules? I mean, how far are you thinking this Simon sandwich will go?"
"That's not really any of your business," I started, but the look on her face -- a look I'd seen from her cousin -- told me she clearly intended to make it her business. So I answered as honestly as I could. "I really don't know, Midge. I came here to prove to Nadia that we could make it work despite everything that's changed. I'm not sure that I can. I mean look at me," I gestured to my bruised-up body and limped over to the sit beside her. "I love Nadia. And I think I'm in love with Pudge. I can't even tell you how amazing things are in the bedroom, but I don't know if I can keep up this pace."
"Well, it's clear to me," she replied, "That you can't. It's a miracle you've made it this far."
"I'm holding my own, thank you very much." I countered with building indignation.
"Simon," Midge shot back, "You really don't get it, do you? There is no way you can keep up with the two of them if they're really going all out. I mean, do you even understand how much stronger than men women have become?"
