Author's Note: This chapter deals with a character's confusion over a sexual experience and whether or not consent was given. This is not meant to make a statement about what constitutes consent. It is merely a fictional story getting into the mind of fictional characters in a fictional situation. Did I mention this is a work of fiction? Hope you enjoy!
Matt cursed to himself silently for not buying the wifi package when they had boarded the ship as he stared at the little airplane symbol in the top corner of his cell phone. He hated not being able to at least reach out to Sara when they were apart, even if the time apart was limited and there wasn't far for her to roam.
After watching a mediocre singer in the ship's showroom with his parents, brother and sister in law, Matt had returned to his cabin expecting to find Sara already there. And when she wasn't there he went back to the bar where he had left her, but she wasn't there either. Confused, and slightly concerned Matt returned to his cabin to wait for his wife.
Something wasn't right. Sara wasn't the best about time, but she usually wasn't off by this much. Could she have been picked up by a stranger at the bar? Matt shook his head, his wife wouldn't cheat. Thoughts raced through his mind as the night grew later and he found himself pacing the small length of his cabin hoping for the sound of the door unlocking.
Finally just when he felt as though he would have a full panic attack, there was a knock on the door.
Phil and Todd had let Sara get dressed in their bathroom, but held onto her cellphone and purse as she did. Her mind was foggy, almost as though she had been drugged but she knew full well she hadn't.
She had experienced a type of sex she had never before experienced in her life. Could she call it sex? Was it something else? Her mind couldn't even think about the word. She hated the word. She never said yes to the sex. But had she ever said no? She couldn't remember. Didn't not saying yes mean she didn't give consent? She came, twice. Once on Todd's cock, the other on Phil's tongue. Could she say she claim it wasn't consensual after orgasming twice? Does that mean she cheated on Matt? Her brain raced as she struggled to get her blue dress back on. Her knees were weak, her head light and foggy. She just wanted to go to sleep.
Finally she got her dress zipped back up, and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was a mess. Her hair looked like she had just had sex. 'Fuck! Matt would know,' she thought to herself. She quickly ran her fingers through her red hair, trying her best to make it look as neat as it could.
"Come on honey, your husband's going to worry about you," Todd called from outside the bathroom door.
With a deep breath Sara opened the bathroom door and stepped back into the cabin. As soon as she did so, Todd, who was still naked, grabbed her ass through her dress and kissed her hard on the mouth. It was the first time he had kissed her all night, and Sara was glad it was. His breath was foul, a mixture of alcohol, cigarettes and lack of toothpaste all wrapped up into a fat tongue that was now running rampant inside her own mouth.
"I had fun tonight, honey," he said lewdly, after breaking the kiss though his hand remained on her ass. "I look forward to seeing you tomorrow."
"I don't..." Sara started but was stopped by Phil placing a finger on her lips.
"Don't bother finishing, that sentence," Phil said as he pressed his index finger past Sara's lips and into her mouth. "We've decided that I will see you in the morning. And you will spend the evening with Todd here."
Phil said it so matter of factly there wasn't room for argument. And when he was finished talking he removed his finger from Sara's mouth and smiled at her.
"Now, let's get you back to your husband, I'm sure he's beginning to worry."
Phil was dressed again, in the same clothes he had been wearing earlier.
"I can find my own way back," Sara started to say.
"Now what kind of gentleman would that make me?" Phil asked. He sounded as he had in the bar. Warm and friendly, the menacing tone that had lingered since the elevator was suddenly gone again, almost as though it had never been there in the first place. "Come on, let's go," he said as he opened the door for Sara.
Sara and Phil walked down the long corridor on Deck 11, the entire time Phil's hand placed firmly on the small of Sara's back. It was possessive, he wanted her to know, to feel that she belonged to him now. They took the stairs at mid ship down two decks to where Sara and Matt's cabin was. Sara who hadn't learned her way around the ship yet almost got lost in the corridor, and had to turn around at one point but finally found her way to her cabin. The entire time Phil's hand stayed on the small of her back.
Sara started to fumble through her purse as she stood in front of her cabin door, looking for her key card. But Phil quickly stopped her, and simply knocked on the door. The handle to the door turned quickly, almost as though Matt had been standing just on the other side waiting for that knock.
"There you...who are you?" Matt asked after opening the door. His relief at seeing Sara quickly turned to confusion at the sight of Phil who still had his hand on the small of Matt's wife's back.
"Hello Matt," Phil said, not giving Sara a chance to speak. "I think it best we talk inside your room."
"Can you at least tell me who are first? And why your hand is on my wife's back like that?" Matt asked, as he felt his heart begin to pound in his chest.
"I will explain all of it, when we're inside your room," Phil said, gently. "Don't worry, I won't rob you."
"Honey, please listen to him," Sara said, softly.
Matt nodded as a look of concern flooded his face and he opened the door wide enough to let Sara and Phil into the small cabin.
"I know you must be confused," Phil said, as he nonchalantly took a seat at the foot of the queen sized bed in the middle of the cabin.
"You could say that," Matt said as leaned against the vanity desk.
Sara who was still standing in the entry way just to the left of Matt looked at the vanity desk. It was positioned the same as the one in Phil's cabin. The one she had been bent over and fucked from behind by Todd on while watching the video of herself being fucked on the bed by Phil. She felt herself begin to get wet remembering it all. Why was this happening? She didn't want it to be happening!
