Part Three
We were at sea again when I woke up and after getting my early morning tea from James, got up and had my shower before getting dressed for breakfast. Though getting dressed was really just a shirt and a pair of shorts and thongs on the feet. I didn't wear my swimming costume for I gathered that there wouldn't be any swimming till the late afternoon when we next dropped anchor.
After breakfast, I declined the invitation to stretch out on the after deck but spent the next four hours talking to the cook, engineer and two crewmen. Four hours might seem such a short time to interview people but when they are reluctant to speak about their employer, it was long enough. The unspoken feeling that came across was that they didn't really like Sir Tobias along with not really liking each other either. I got the feeling that I was sitting on a keg of gunpowder that had the fuse ready just waiting for somebody to strike a match.
Just before lunch, I put on a pair of swimming trunks for I was going to spend the afternoon in the sun, which I did. Stretched out after a good meal and snoozed away the afternoon. I woke myself up this time as I felt the engines throttle back and sat up to watch us glide into a natural cove of an island with the obligatory beach of fine sand.
Mark Snares was at the bow and I could just see him from where I sat near the rail and saw him do something and there was a muted rattle of the anchor chain being let out and the boat began to lose headway and slowly swung round till it was brought to a halt by this anchor.
He did something else which I assumed was making sure that the chain was secure before he sauntered down to where we were and unclipped a section of the rail for us to go swimming. His next task was to lower the gangway for those of us that did go to refresh ourselves in the cool clear water.
Stephen was already taking his shorts off and gave me a sign as if wanting to know if I was going to join him. I nodded and got up already wearing my trunks. I saw the captain come along to have a word with Sir Tobias and I waited until he'd finished speaking before asking him a question.
`Where exactly are we captain?' was the question I asked.
`One of the outer islands of the Grand Bahamas Mr Redgrave,' he replied.
`Does the island have a name?'
`Not that I'm aware of. It's just one of hundreds that are dotted about. Being on the outer edge of the Bahamas, we're only half a day's sail away from Florida,' and he waved his hand in the general direction of the United States of America. I thanked him and went and joined Stephen who was waiting by the yacht's side for me to join him.
It looks like paradise,' he said, indicating the fine looking beach and the lush foliage just beyond. Shall we go and see if it really is?'
`Race you there,' I said as I went to the edge of the boat and let him dive off first with me close behind. The water was indeed a wonderful coolant to the body and I quickly made my way to the surface to swim towards the beach. I briefly saw him as I came up but then he was behind me as I swam those fifty or so yards to the beach and walked out of the sea a good six yards ahead of him and flopped down on the sand.
I watched him come staggering out of the sea to make his way to where I was lying and he too flopped down, gasping for breath.
Christ! I didn't realise you were that strong,' he panted as his hand came up and stroked my upper leg. Such strong thighs. I couldn't keep up with you.'
`A healthy diet and lots of exercise,' I said. His hand then moved up, brushing across the front of my trunks and up over my stomach till it reached my chest.
`Did...did you understand my unspoken message yesterday? In the sea?' he asked in a soft voice.
`Yes Stephen, I did.'
`So...will you...would you...do you think you could make love to me tonight?'
I could see the anguish in his eyes having seen such a look before, begging, pleading for me to say yes. I looked at him and felt a little pity for him but answered him.
`I never play the role of the wife,' I told him.
`I'll be the wife! I'll be your slave. I've seen what you've got and it's what I want. Is the answer yes?' I couldn't help but smile up at him as he'd come up onto his elbow to look down into my eyes.
`Yes Stephen, tonight,' I said and it was a pleasure to see his eyes light up and he quickly bent his head and kissed me.
Not here Stephen,' I said as I pushed him off. Somebody might be watching from the boat.'
I'm sorry,' he said, but I don't really care.' He flung himself onto his back on the sand. `Oh I wish that this was a desert island and there was just the two of us. We could then make love out here, in the sand and under the sun.'
I think you've had too much of it,' I said sitting up. I think we should swim back now for it will soon be time for dinner.' I got up and rubbed my hands together to get the sand off and thought that if he had really been my lover, I might have given him a hand to get up, but he wasn't, so I didn't. I strode down the short stretch of beach and dived into the water and slowly swam back to the ship, though I did give him a push up with my hand under his backside for him to find his footing on the lowered gangway. I'm not sure if he simpered or not at my doing this.
We went off to our respective cabins for a shower and get dressed for dinner and we gathered together in the lounge for pre-dinner drinks. Again I found myself with Muriel and wondered why she was seeming to be suddenly at my side at these evening gatherings. Was it protection from Knox for her comments the previous evening or was it something else for it was her that had put my name forward for the job I was supposed to be doing. She was that close to me that I felt her shudder when the man in question gave out a braying laugh at some joke being told him by Sir Tobias.
`I wish he'd fall overboard and drown,' she said bitterly.
You obviously don't like him,' I said. Is it because of the cooked books that you mentioned?'
`I'm sorry if I seem to hang around you in the evening but he makes my flesh creep. For the past month or so he's been pestering me with innuendoes and he'd be the last person on earth I'd ever go to bed with.' I understood for I didn't like the man either and said so to make her feel better.
Dinner was announced and we went into the saloon and I still had her by my side and wondered if she knew that in the coming night I would be having Stephen in my bed who had sat down next to me on the other side. I had a hand on my inner thigh during parts of the meal and it wasn't Muriel's.
We had just finished our main course when the captain came bursting into the saloon without his cap on. This being a first time for me to see him without it. His face was white and he bent down behind Sir Tobias and whispered into his ear. He too turned a shade pale.
`Christ!' he cried, throwing his napkin down and leaving the table in some haste with the captain behind him. We all looked at each other for a moment in silence and it was Stella who broke it.
`What was that all about?' she asked as a general question to the rest of us still sitting at the table. We all muttered something which had no bearing on what had caused his sudden departure. We stayed sitting for quite a few minutes before Stella piped up again.
`Well it looks as though dinner's over. I'm going to get a drink,' she said, getting up from the table. Tricia didn't say anything but rose too and began to follow Stella out of the saloon.
`I could do with a drink too,' Knox said in his loud voice and rose up which was a signal for us all to rise and leave the remnants of our meal on the table and I followed the others into the lounge. There was no sign of James and it was Stella that was pouring out drinks and Tricia handing them out.
For all of ten minutes we were trying to come up with the reason for Sir Tobias to suddenly leave the dinner table when he reappeared, still white faced and went and poured himself out a large brandy and drank it down in one swallow. He poured out another one before turning round to face us all there waiting to hear what he had to say.
`We're returning to Nassau tonight. Immediately. The engineer has been murdered down in the engine room,' he said and took a big mouthful of brandy.
`Murdered?' echoed two or three voices in shock and Muriel dropped her glass, un-noticed, onto the carpet.
`Yes, so we're upping anchor and the captain is now speaking to the police and we should be in before morning.' He finished his glass and was just about to go and refill it when the captain returned and whispered again into his ear. There was more reaction from Sir Tobias this time for he flung the glass aside and left the lounge again with the captain following.
`Who the hell would want to kill the engineer?' Knox brayed out and got back blank looks from the rest of us. He knocked back his drink and went and got a refill as we all seemed to gather closer together asking the unanswerable questions we were all asking of each other. It was only a few minutes later that Sir Tobias came back into the lounge a visible shaken man, followed yet again by the captain. We had all turned round at his entrance and waited for him to speak.
Ladies and gentlemen. It appears that not only have we a murderer aboard but also a saboteur. The radio has been smashed and somehow, has disabled the yacht, so we cannot at present leave this anchorage.' He was visible shaken and seemed to have aged years in the past half hour and it took some effort for him to be able to pull himself together to speak again. So we are stuck here for the time being with a murderer in our midst and I suggest that you lock your cabins doors for the night and the captain and I will speak to you all again in the morning.'
We all finished our drinks and left the saloon and I clearly heard Tricia say that she never did trust that new seaman who I took it to mean the surly one called Mark.
Daniel,' came the anguished voice of Stephen as he clutched my arm. Can I come to your cabin now? I'll feel much safer with you,' he said.
Of course you can,' I smiled at him. You go on ahead while I just see that the girls are safely into theirs.' I smiled again at him and then ushered the three women below and saw each to their cabin and advised them to lock themselves in for the night. Satisfied at hearing all three bolts being shot, went on to my own cabin.
`Oh!' Stephen exclaimed at my sudden entry and I could see that he was visibly shaken and found that he was in a worse state than the girls. He clung to me and it took some time to convince him he was safe with me and so, we finally got undressed and to use his words, I took him to paradise.
This was easy to do for he was so eager to tackle my tackle that he'd only just got my trousers down and had my erection out and in his mouth, almost slobbering over it as he sucked on me.
`Steady Stephen, steady now. We've got all night,' I said as I eased him off my cock, lifting him up from his knees. He was of a slight build and was easy to get him upright and let him kiss me as our bodies came close together. The kiss lasted several minutes before he became feverish again in getting me fully undressed and quickly got his clothes off.
I got onto the bed and lay on my back, having my erection laying up on my stomach and watched him get onto the bed, noting that he wasn't anywhere the size of me in the cock stakes. He first took hold of my prick and was giving it a rub as he lay almost on top of me for another kiss.
`Oh Daniel! When I first saw you, I wanted you,' he gushed, still rubbing me down below.
Then you'd better stop rubbing me like you are now or I'll be coming all over your hand instead of where you want it,' I said, adding, I haven't got any condoms here. No condom, no fuck.'
`I thought of that,' he said with a smile as he let go of me and got off the bed and fumbled around with his shorts and came up with one. He was quick to tear off the wrapper and knelt on the bed and expertly held up my prick and rolled the condom down on me.
Now we're ready,' he said, bouncing onto the bed and going up onto his knees. Fuck me Daniel, please,' he begged.
I stroked his slim waist as I moved behind him and got between his legs, running my hands over the pale white cheeks of his bum, making him shiver. It had been a long time since I last fucked a man up the backside and it was pure joy for me to enter the tightness of one once again. Stephen gave out a gasp as I widened him enough for the head of my cock to get past his sphincter muscle. To have the whole thing as well as the shaft again surrounded by the body heat of the man I was now fucking, using slow strokes to almost pull out, widening him again before moving back till my thighs touched the cheeks of his bum.
He even started to croon as I moved inside him, feeling his muscle keep flexing against my shaft, making my cock twitch in response. But I couldn't hold back for very long and so I was grasping his hips tighter and pulling him back as I rammed up into him, moving faster until I began to come inside him. Then it was just my hips jerking away, sending out my seed into the condom, though I would rather have ridden him bareback but I didn't know how many others had had their cock up his backside. Better safe than sorry.
I fell onto his back as I finished coming and my weight bore him down onto the bed sheet and slid my hands up under his shoulders, palms upwards for me to grip and pull him back onto my prick which was still embedded inside him.
Oh Daniel, this is great,' his voice muffled by the pillow as I kept moving him so that he was himself then fucking the sheet beneath him. Keep going. Keep going,' he now grunted, `I'm nearly there.' I felt his body tense up for a few more strokes until he gave out a big sigh and I knew that he'd now had his release,
Both of us were panting as I eased myself up and slowly pulled myself out of him but as he tried to hold me there with his sphincter muscle, he stripped the condom right off of me and I came free from his body leaving just the end piece of it sticking out from his arse.
I rolled over onto my back, my cock still up and hard, now laying on my stomach as he too turned and moved down the bed to take me into his mouth to suck on me again. He kept mouthing and sucking me till I was clean of sperm before getting off the bed and he did look rather funny going off to the bathroom with the end of the condom still hanging from his backside.
I pulled off the bottom sheet while he was getting rid of the rubber and washing his front before coming back onto the bed and moving up into my arms for a kiss.
That was sheer heaven Daniel,' he said between kissing my lips and face. It made me forget about the engineer.'
Let's not talk about that,' I said, now feeling rather tired and worn out. Let's just get some sleep and maybe we can do this again in the morning.' With that, we both fell asleep.
