I checked all round the boat slowly, so as to give Kate plenty of time to prepare. I had put a multi-pack of condoms down in the sleeping area earlier as a hint in case she would prefer us to have safe sex and she would have seen it by this time (as I had meant her to). She had told me that she had been faithful to Chuck for the last three years, and she knew that there had been no-one for me since I had lost my virginity with Jenn, four years before, so I decided to leave it to her to bring the subject up if she wanted. Then I dropped down into the cockpit, stripped off my t-shirt and shorts, and went down into the saloon and then on into the forward cabin wearing just my briefs.
There was a hatch above the bed on this boat that was set into the fore-deck in front of the mast, open a little to allow the warm night breeze into the cabin and prevent it becoming stuffy. It was translucent, letting in just enough light for me to make out the dark outline of Kate's body silhouetted against the white sheets of the bed. She was lying on her back with her eyes shut, her hands clasped together behind her head and one knee slightly raised, displaying the whole length of her almost naked body and openly inviting me to do whatever I wished with it.
Standing by the bed - well, actually it was just the usual mattress on the floor, shaped to fit the narrowing front end of the cabin and with bedding on top - I pushed my briefs down over my hips and as they dropped to the floor Kate heard the slight sound and opened her eyes, stretching one arm sideways across the sheet in obvious invitation. I lay down across it and slid my own arm under her neck, my other hand reaching to cup the soft curve of her breast. Then she pulled me gently up against her body, her free hand exploring my face, her fingertips caressing feather-light down my cheek.
I leaned in to kiss her forehead and then moved lower to drop kisses all the way down her nose, expecting her at any minute to explode into action the way she had at Sabratha, but she didn't! Our lips touched softly and hers moved just a little against mine, letting me know without saying a word that this time she wanted it to be slow and gentle, and I loved her for it. My free hand smoothed slowly down over her waist, across the brief panties covering her hips and then slid up and down the outside of her raised leg, gently easing it down to lie flat. Then I returned to hook a finger into the top of her panties, running it back and forth across her flat stomach from one hip-bone to the other and then back again, pushing lower each time till she lifted up her bum and let me work her briefs under and then off as she brought first one leg and then the other up to release them.
In the darkness of the cabin we were exploring each others' naked bodies purely by touch, our fingers, hands and lips drifting gently over soft warm skin, floating along in a dream world of our own as we gradually became familiar with the feel of our partner's curves and hollows. Kate was still flat on her back and after a while she put her hands either side of my waist, a gentle sideways pressure telling me that I would be welcome between her legs as she slid them apart. I moved across to lie on top of her, propping myself up on my elbows so as not to be too heavy, but she gently pushed my arms apart, her first whispered words being that she wanted to feel my full weight bearing down on her body.
I wrapped my arms round her head to position it for more kisses and she hooked her heels over the back of my legs and pulled them wide apart, spread-eagling herself beneath me and bringing the head of my cock up against the warm, wet entry to her vagina. Cupping my butt, she eased me gently forward and as my full length slid right up inside her she gripped my dick with her inner muscles and we lay still, savouring the moment that we had been building up to. After a while I started moving slowly, completely out and then back just that little bit inside, and then out and back in again, enjoying over and over that special feeling that comes just at the moment of entry. Kate's little moans of pleasure against my lips were making it plain that she was enjoying it too and then, all of a sudden, she pulled me fully up inside her again, the rapid movement telling me that the time for being slow and romantic was over and now she wanted some action.
I started thrusting hard, jerking her body forward and back under me on the bed, and she responded beautifully, matching each thrust with grunts - unh . . . unh . . . unh . . . unh - between gritted teeth, bringing her legs up outside mine and crossing her ankles in the small of my back, and then she gasped and came, her body arching up and her mouth mashing hard against mine. I had been holding back as best I could, afraid of finishing too soon and disgracing myself, but now I let go and joined her in a frenzy of pleasure, pounding into her again and again till I had nothing left.
