After a while Mac gave his cougar one last kiss and crawled off, leaving a trail, "You are neat, young man. I even like that souvenir you just left on my leg." Jody said. "In fact I like everything about you."
"Then why can't we just stay together the rest of the cruise," he asked.
"Because, darling, it is a game, an unusual game to be sure, but it's one where I set the rules. The most important of which is that a cougar and her cub be uncommitted, free to seek hedonism to the nth degree. And if we spent all our time together for the three days of the cruise we'd lose the game."
"Damned old woman! When did you get to write the rules?"
Gloria saw red for a moment, but figured it was little more than a lover's spat. She sighed and said "I wrote them because it's my body and I do with it as I please. That's a change from the rules back on dry land." She paused and softened her tone, "Don't take it so hard. Go mix some more. Look for a hot babe named Gloria. She's my age and a lovely blond. If you don't find her, she'll find you. You won't regret it. I'll guarantee you that within an hour of meeting her, you'll forget about me.." Jody said. "Not that I'll feel good about that, but like a cougar, I'll be on the prowl myself. Now begone!"
Mac reached over, gave Jody a quick kiss, caressed her nude back, finished dressing and made his way down to the fantail where several couples were still dancing . . . and groping."
Jody gave Mac a half hour head start, then put on a change of clothes. Her others were rendered unusable by the action near the lifeboat. As before, she left her panties behind. When she got to mixer, her cub was gone. She asked herself, "I miss him already. Wonder if he's been nailed by Gloria so soon. Maybe she and I can compare notes. He is a dandy."
Soon a fellow about thirty approached, "Hi, I haven't seen you here. I'm Bryan."
"Hello Bryan. I was here earlier, but I got busy real quick." Certain the ambiance of the party and her big smile would carry the message she didn't explain. She had already been a successful hunter, and that was what the party was all about.
Bryan and she started their own cougar party ritual. It was like thousand other dates, a bit hesitant with a feint and parry, but in this case both knew where it was going. They danced. She moved in close. He groped her ass. She smiled at him when his face showed he his surprise and joy upon learning there was merely a thin dress between his hand and it's coveted prize. She could feel the heat of his cub paw when he groped. Then a kiss. She moved close The next kiss was longer and hotter. Next he copped a feel of her titties. She didn't object. He said, "Like to take a walk Jody?"
"Yes, it's a beautiful night."
They walked away hand in hand Jody was interested in who was doing what to whom, and wondered where Gloria was. She was certain her friend was not sitting in the stateroom watching TV or reading a book. A few steps and she and Bryan would stop, embrace, and make out like high school kids, except she let him go immediately to second base Then they approached the davit where she and Mac plus an unknown couple had had their own special adventure a couple hours earlier. And again she heard something. She recognized both voices. One was the young black guy who had been boinking the rotund woman at that every spot.
The other was even more recognizable. "Oh you are one magnificent bastard. Wait until we get back to the room; I'll show you what 45 years experience will do for an old broad." That was her Gloria's voice coming from the shadows.
She laughed out loud. "Atta girl Gloria, give him the old whatfor." The young man was about to get the fucking of his life.
Jody could see the guy's hand under her roomie's dress, obviously getting his finger wet. Gloria called, "Hey that you roomie? Isn't this party wonderful? I'm about to consummate my second wild love affair. Like to come along and watch?"
"It can't be that unusual. I've seen you in action you know. But I'll be along later. Enjoy yourself."
"If this guy lives up to his promises they'll hear me screaming up on the bridge." With that Gloria, just a little tipsy, walked off with her young lover.
"I'm not in the mood for voyeurism tonight. Bryan. You have a stateroom?"
Relieved he wasn't going to get an excuse to avoid sex he replied, "God yes, let's hope my buddy isn't using it."
He took her hand and they walked down the corridor, past the one where Gloria was engaged with her lover of the moment. When they passed it they stopped. Modern naval architectural engineering wasn't to the task of keeping these noises from filtering out the door.
First was the black guy, "Damn you white bitch. I'm going to fuck you til you scream."
Her roomie's answer was, "Yes, you black stud. I'll scream for more. You ate enough pussy. Now I want the real stuff, and don't forget to make me scream."
Jody felt her partner tense as he hugged her, "Oh my god!" he said.
It was on to Bryan's room then out on the veranda, Jody wanted to liven things up. She wasn't in the mood for plain old sex. She put her arms around her young lover, caressed his cheek and asked, "What is your special fantasy, especially one with a cougar?"
"Frankly, Jody, cougars have always been my fantasy."
"We're alone. We will soon be undressed. Please be frank. Has your fantasy been about any middle-aged lady in particular? Your Mom? Aunt? Family Friend? Who do you think of when you're all alone, in the shower, and your hand wanders down to this?" She groped his crotch. Jody knew enough about men to understand how their minds worked.
"Aunt Kathy. Mom's sister. She's about your age. I saw her naked when I was eight. She didn't seem to mind. I don't know if she has any idea how excited the thought of that has made me."
Jody didn't quite know why but this conversation was more arousing than any of the kisses or fondling they had done so far. She persisted, "What do you imagine doing with her?"
"I always imagine our being alone, and something happening on the spur of the moment. Maybe an innocent kiss goes haywire and runs out of control. God, I've done it so many times with her in my imagination."
Jody led him back into the room, sat him on the sofa. "Excuse me one minute," she said. "I'll be right back out."
She went into the bathroom, rummaged through some clothes and found a pair of panties, the sheer ones she'd taken off when she got dressed for the mixer. She put them on and went to sit beside her young cub.
"So Bryan, your mom said she wouldn't be back until tomorrow. She asked me to look in on you."
The young man immediately picked up on the game. "Gosh Kathy, that's nice. What would you like to talk about."
"Oh I'm always interested in what young men are doing nowadays. How old are you now."
