Synopsis- On a cruise full of surprises, Bettie discovered that one man wasn't really who she needed, and another was more than she thought. All it took was them being thrown together below deck.

The Forbidden Below Deck
.
.
My husband-to-be is my boss's son.
Evan was my boss before Holden became my fiancé. I met my husband to be at his mother's or my boss's wife's funeral.
I was twenty-two and had recently started at Evan's corporation. The company was picking up my college expenses for a guaranteed job as Even's assistant. ​His company, BluW​ave Technologies, specializes in developing innovative solutions for the aging population, so I would major in business with a backup in gerontology. I also took classes in human-computer interaction and user experience design so I would have the ability to work with the department that would be creating technology solutions for older adults.
On graduation day, I received my diploma, an engagement ring, the job title, and hefty raise, and as a graduation gift from my soon-to-be father-in-law-- a seven-day cruise with my fiancé and him.
My relationship with Holden was a whirlwind, and truth known, I was in no hurry to get married. I wanted to enjoy my new job and the money that went with it. I planned to work my way up in the corporation and would need to focus.
I wanted to enjoy my freedom and independence. I loved my fiancé but needed space before settling down.
"We can call it our pre-honeymoon, Bette," Holden told me one night at dinner.
I looked up. "You mean the cruise your Dad gave
me
for graduation will be part of our honeymoon?"
It was his boyish good looks that caught my eye, to begin with. Thick brown hair with a lock that always tended to flip forward. Long eyelashes framed his brown eyes, but it was his smile that traveled all the way to his eyes that did it. Tonight, it was just annoying.
"Well yeah, honey. I mean, it was a gift to all of us, really," Holden replied, although Evan said to the contrary when he gave me the brochure. It was my graduation gift, and he also paid for anything I wanted when we were in port.
I raised my eyebrows with a nod. "Whatever." I drained my glass of wine. "We're going to pull some long hours getting everything caught up and ahead so your Dad can get away."
He nodded vaguely, already onto something else. "Did you see how small those staterooms are?"
"Yeah, well, you're supposed to enjoy the ship and not hang out in the stateroom. Just meant to shower and sleep." I shrugged.
"I guess so. It just seems sort of chintzy. It's not like Dad doesn't have the money."
I pressed my two fingers between my eyes to ease the tension. I pushed my half-empty plate away and said, "I need to get home."
"Sure, darling," he pulled out his credit card and looked in the bill folder. "I don't know where they get off on charging those prices for that wine," he complained.
I leaned back in my chair and scanned for our server, hoping he was nearby and could get us out. He was and did.
I stood up, smoothing my black pencil skirt. I always turned a few heads because I was nearly five ten, which was unexpected. My spike heels brought me to Holden's height. I tucked a loose strand of my blonde curls into the chignon at the back of my neck and led the way out.
After sending Holden on his way, I dropped my bag on the chair and began to strip on my way to the bedroom. The skirt was carefully hung in the closet, the blouse in the laundry.
I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and stopped. Only since graduation could I afford to get my hair done, regular manicures and pedicures, skincare, and a working woman's wardrobe.
I pulled the pins, letting my hair flow over my shoulders and down my back. Few knew how long my hair was because I kept it up, mainly for business but also because it was my secret. Something no one knew about me.
I unhooked my pink lace bra, allowing my breasts to spill freely. Forty Ds liked their freedom when they could. I shimmied my pink lace thong off and started the shower water.
I stepped under the steamy water letting it wash over my body. I wet my hair and massaged shampoo into my scalp, enjoying the spicy scent. I worked the conditioner into the length. When it was wet, it reached my ass.
One of the great pleasures in life was a luxurious bath or shower. The spicy scent of the body soap and the silky oil I rubbed into my damp skin all served to arouse me. I ran my fingers through the soft folds of my pussy. The smooth lips were swollen and sensitive, and my clit reacted to my touch.
I braced myself against the tile wall and moaned out the current of release that flowed through my body like an electric current. I gasped, reveled in the last rush, and stepped out.

We planned to meet two hours early, and of course, Evan was already there with hot coffee and pastries from the French bakery down the street.
"You keep doing this, and I'm going to need a new wardrobe for the cruise in a larger size," I laughed.
Steel grey eyes showed his amusement, and crinkles formed at each corner when he laughed. Evan wore his hair long, which suited him. His son could never carry it off and kept his closely trimmed.
That he was several inches taller than me helped because few men were.
Multi shades of black, silver, and grey glinted in the light, the natural waves falling below his shoulders. He had a perpetual tan, and when I first met him, I thought he was the most handsome man I'd ever seen.
I still do.
"You don't carry an extra ounce on you, Bette," he grinned.
"Thanks. It's just that I forgot to eat," I laughed, and Evan shook his head.

The two staterooms were next to each other. They were small but enough for our needs. I didn't plan to spend more time in it than I had to. I intended to enjoy all the amenities the ship offered.
Twelve hours later, I was knocking on Evan's door.
"Bette! Oh my god, you look terrible. Are you sick?"
He pulled me into his stateroom and sat me down on the edge of the bed.
I knew I was green. "No, not me. Holden," I said, my stomach still rolling.
He sat next to me. "You're both seasick?"
I leaned over and held my head in my hands. "No, just Holden."
"So, you're not sick? You're green, Bette," he said, rubbing my back.
"Hearing someone vomit triggers me, and I vomit," I said, covering my ears as though I could hear him through the walls. The last thing I wanted to do was start dry heaving again.
"Let me go check on him. You sit or lie here. I'll be right back."
So fearful of hearing him again, I covered my head with the pillow. A few minutes later, I heard the stateroom door close.
"He really has it bad," Evan said sympathetically. "But he is still----"
"Noooooooooooooooo, don't even say it," I cried, covering my head with the pillow again.
"Oh, geez, I'm so sorry." He sat on the edge of the bed and soothingly ran his hand up and down my back. I finally began to relax. "Let me call and get another stateroom."
He waited a bit on the phone, then thanked whoever he was talking to.
"Nothing. The ship was totally booked."
"I can't go back!" I said, suddenly remembering that Holden was in my stateroom with my clothes. "I'd rather sleep on deck. Ugh."
"No, no, you stay here with me. I must admit, it's pretty bad over there." I sat up. "Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, thank you. Sorry to be such a pain." I couldn't have been more embarrassed. I should be in there consoling Holden, but I just couldn't.
"You're not. Not at all. Are you up for a walk on the deck? Some air will probably help. It's almost dinner, although I'm unsure how you feel about that."
I nodded. "Going out sounds good. I am feeling much better. I just had to get that sound out of my ears, and the smell--"
"Right," he cut me off, "let's get some air."
I nodded and stood up, bumping into him. The staterooms were small, and we would need some forethought to maneuver around. But I'd deal with it. No way was I going to go back to my stateroom.
We walked the deck. It was a beautiful day, sunny and breezy, and I felt much better. Although I wasn't ready for a full-blown ship's meal, we found a bar with a limited menu.
