Day 1.
The bell chimed over the ship's PA system, announcing the twelve-mile mark of our trek out to sea, officially starting our Nude Cruise! Megan and I laughed and stripped as fast as we could. This was by far the wildest thing we had ever done for spring break.
"Tay, let's go to the lunch buffet first! I'm starving," Megan declared.
"The first thing you want to do naked with strangers is eating?" I asked in disbelief.
"Why not? We can scope out the food and the men."
I agreed, and we simply left the cabin in our birthday suits. I was tempted to drape my long blond hair over my breasts, but I knew my intentions would be obvious. So, instead of hiding, I tossed my hair back and held my chin high. It was nice not worrying about what to wear, but it was weird strolling naked along the deck. The warm Caribbean breeze felt incredible on my skin. It was hard not to stare when eye-catching men and women walked by. I was surprised at myself for checking out the women as much as the men. Megan was doing it too. There was a sign posted outside of the main dining room prohibiting lewd activity in that area. Megan and I had already signed the waiver about what activities were allowed in certain areas. There were exceptions to these rules, depending on the time of day.
"Wow, the food and the men look amazing," Megan observed as she picked up a frozen pina colada and handed it to me.
We were standing by the beverage bar, scanning the room. Suddenly, I saw someone I was not expecting.
"Holy cow, there's Duncan!" I squeaked and scurried behind Megan to hide.
"Wait a minute... 'dreamy eyes' Duncan from your Wednesday morning class?" she chuckled and looked in the direction I was peeking in. "Hey, that's Jake with him. They're both in my statistics class. Damn, Duncan does have dreamy eyes, and dreamy hair, and a smoking hot body. Taylor, why are you hiding? Let him see those perky tits and cute ass," she grumbled and shoved me out from behind her, causing me to dump the icy pina colada down my chest.
I gasped loud enough to catch the attention of the whole room. There were drawbacks to dining naked. I met Duncan's eyes a second later. He was staring at me with his mouth open. I looked down at myself to discover my nipples were raging hard, thanks to the slushy ice. Above that, snowy splatters of whipped cream were stuck to my breasts and beginning to drip between them. Megan erupted with laughter when she saw me. I glanced at Duncan to see him and his friend Jake hurrying to sit down at a nearby table.
"Megan, I'm going to kill you," I grumbled as a waitress rushed over to help me clean up.
"I wish cameras were allowed for times like this," she sputtered.
Keeping my head down, I collected a salad and a turkey sandwich before sitting down with Megan to sulk.
"Taylor, stop moping and lighten up. That was hilarious!"
"For you, yeah," I grumbled with my mouth full.
Suddenly, two handsome figures joined us at our table. They sat down rather quickly, sparing us the view of their crotches as we ate. It was Duncan and Jake. I stared at Duncan with wide eyes as he smiled at me in amusement.
"Hey guys," Megan announced with a big grin. She tossed her dark hair over her shoulder and stuck her chest out a little. She knew how to work her luscious body when men were close.
"Hello, ladies. It's Taylor and Megan, right?" Duncan asked as he looked between us.
"Yes, It's nice to see you boys outside of statistics class for once," Megan said as she turned her flirty gaze on Jake. He had messy blond hair and big blue eyes, one of Megan's favorite combinations.
"It is. I wasn't expecting to see classmates on this cruise, but it's a pleasant surprise. Is this your first Nude Cruise?" Duncan asked as he turned his big gray eyes on me.
"Uh, it is," I stammered. "I'm learning all about it the hard way," I admitted with my face burning. My arms were still sticking to my sides after my pina colada bath.
"Yeah, that was hot. I mean, hilarious," Jake chuckled, causing Megan and Duncan to start chuckling too.
"Actually, it was freezing," I grumbled.
"Yeah, we could tell," Megan added with a huge grin.
I groaned and put my hand over my eyes.
"Taylor, you don't have to be embarrassed," Duncan said as he reached over and patted me on the back.
It was a harmless, innocent gesture, but it felt intimate being touched by my crush while naked. It sent my heart fluttering. I looked at Duncan, and he gave me a thoughtful smile.
"Not to sound too flirty," he continued, "but in all seriousness, Jake is right. You looked really hot covered in a pina colada."
I chuckled and nodded, accepting my fate as the 'pina colada' girl.
"Uh, thanks. I appreciate the compliment."
"I bet she tastes pretty good now, too. You should offer Duncan a sample," Megan suggested.
I kicked Megan's leg under the table after that remark.
"That kind of tasting is forbidden in the main dining room this time of day," Jake added, "but there are other times and other rooms where it is allowed."
"Really?" Megan asked, sounding intrigued.
"Mmhmm, I reserved a private booth at the Bodily Delights Lounge tonight. All Duncan and I need are dates. Then we can enjoy an assortment of tapas and exotic drink chasers from all over the world. They have stuff on their menu from countries I've never even heard of. It also has amazing reviews."
"That sounds pretty tame. I wouldn't mind doing that," I said and looked at Megan. She was wearing a huge grin. I suspected she knew something I didn't.
"We would love to join you and Duncan at Bodily Delights," she agreed.
Megan was grinning all the way back to our room that afternoon, and she wouldn't tell me why.
"It's nothing, Taylor. I'm just excited about spending time with Jake," she insisted.
"And I get to spend time with Duncan. God, getting my tits frozen was worth it after all. You really think they came over to talk to us because of that?"
"Yes, one hundred percent," she chuckled.
We refreshed our sunblock, which is critical on a nude cruise, and lounged by the pool for an hour. The sun chairs were as soft as our cabin beds. I sighed contently as an attractive group of men and women strolled between our chairs and the pool. I was seriously enjoying people-watching. The variety of bodies was fascinating. I was surprised by how relaxed I felt on our first day. It wasn't like me at all to enjoy a provocative environment. I was overly cautious most of the time. Besides, Megan was wild enough for both of us, and she helped me come out of my shell. The nude cruise was the epitome of my wildness that year.
"Are you missing Tony yet?" Megan asked in reference to my ex-boyfriend.
"Don't mention that name while I'm enjoying myself."
Tony was the bane of my freshman year of college. He took my virginity and then cheated on me with two other virgins in the same month. Megan said he likely had a virgin fetish. I didn't care either way. What pissed me off was his dramatic confession of love before he fucked me, and my idiot self believed him. He left me skittish about relationships and lowered my expectation of how pleasurable they could be. Tony had disappointed me at every turn. I was determined not to repeat that fiasco. It also opened me up to the idea of experimenting.
"Just reminding you of why you need to have more fun in life. Don't sell yourself short again."
"Thanks, Meg. I appreciate your tough love."
Later that evening, we showered and examined the ship map to find the Bodily Delights Lounge. My stomach was fluttering as we met Duncan and Jake outside the French-themed bar. It was weird meeting up with nude men. I was getting used to it a little, but it was still a shock to everything normal for me.
A waitress led us to our private sitting area. It was a huge round booth with plenty of space in the middle. A low table sat at the center of the area. It didn't obstruct any eye candy sitting around it. The booth's long cushion was draped in a red velvet cover that could easily be removed and washed. I wished we had furniture like that in our dorm. I sat next to Duncan while Megan scooted close to Jake. We selected the most expensive and exotic chaser collection they had. We weren't disappointed when the waitress returned with a large tray of shots and a candy-like assortment of flavored salts, crystallized fruit sugars, flavored oils, and many complimentary spices. The waitress instructed us to push a button in the middle of the table if we needed her again, then she made her departure, leaving us cozy and isolated in the fancy booth.
"Wow, what is all this?" I asked in amazement as Jake began sorting through the flavors and giving everyone samples.
"A lot of this you lick off your hand and then take a sip of vodka to get a hit of intense flavor. The more exotic flavors should be applied to different parts of the body before licking them," he said with a grin before passing the flavor instruction guides to everyone.
There was a detailed list of how and where to apply different fruit sugars to the skin to produce a unique flavor and some required intimate parts of the body.
"Holy cow, this is why you were grinning like an idiot after lunch, wasn't it?" I whispered against Megan's ear.
"Yep."
"This is... intense," Duncan observed as he read down the list. "Are you ladies sure you want to do this with us?" he asked as he looked at me for an answer.
I gave Megan a nervous glance, and she smiled at me and nodded.
