Part 1
The day
after the birthday part, I felt like shit.
I saw Brian and Barry at lunch and they were just the same, in fact I
don’t think we hardly ate a thing.
Later after work, I went straight to my cabin and crawled into bed for
an early night.
The next
day we were heading up the coast and the air was getting distinctly
chilly. I still didn’t feel too good
though, my stomach kept churning up every so often making me think I was going
to be sick. In my cabin that evening I
took a long hot shower, really letting my skin open up in the heat. I took my time getting cleaned up and whilst
in front of the mirror, turned around and bent over to see my ass. The kind of thing I don’t do too often. It
had been a bit sore after what had happened; so I just wanted to look see.
I almost
shit myself then and there. The top of
my thighs and all around my ass and scrotum were bright red. Now that I could see, it felt tender as I
touched all over the area. Funny that I
hadn’t really been aware of it before.
I didn’t think it could have been with the hot shower, but on the other
hand, I couldn’t imagine what it might be.
When I went
to bed, it was still on my mind, and now knowing it was tender it became the
only thing I could think about. I grew
a bit scared.
The
following morning it was much worse.
Even more, I could feel my shorts chaffing the skin so I had to kind
of waddle about. The more I thought about it, the more
frightened I was, sure that it must be something to do with what had happened
at the ship’s party.
Aware it
was somehow connected, I didn’t want to go to the ships medic, but instead
thought Norman would be the one to go to first. After breakfast was finished, I asked him if I could come to talk
to him.
A little
later, I knocked on his cabin door.
“Oh Mike,
come on in pet.” He held the door and beckoned me in.
Immediately
I became distracted from my reason of being there. I was expecting to see a cabin like mine or Brians, but I was
astonished at what I saw. I think the
right word is boudoir or something. He
had his couple of chairs trimmed out in matching covers, as was his bed and
curtains across the porthole. Even his
bedside table was fitted with matching mats like the chairs. The turned down bed cover revealed
coordinated pillows. What a
transformation!
“Now sit down
and make yourself at home. Tell your
Uncle Norm what the problem is. You
must have a problem to come here and see me, right?”
“Yes I
do. I’m really scared. I think something happened to me at that
party in Baltimore”
I knew I
would have to tell him everything. But
where to begin? I held my silence.
“Well I
can’t help you until I know what the problem is, so spit it out dear.”
He wearing
some grubby shorts and vest, having just got done with the breakfasts, I was
seeing him before he got started with the lunches. My eyes kept homing in on his fat stomach hanging over the
shorts. As he waltzed about his cabin,
the effect was really off-putting and I didn’t know whether to laugh at him or
cry over my problem.
So I told
him everything. He sat there and never
interrupted. He just looked shocked, and patted my knee for comfort when I got
to the real nasty bit about the crew in the cabin. By the time I had finished, he looked like he was going to cry.
I finished
and waited for his reaction.
“Oh my poor little Mike” He got up off his
chair and hugged me, patting the back of my head, just like my mom did when I
was a kid and had fallen off my bike.
“So why
have you come to tell me all this?” He didn’t quite understand why I had chosen
this time to tell him all about the party.
“Yesterday
I found the top of my legs all in a rash and this morning, it’s as sore as
hell. I thought you would know what the
problem is.”
“So you can
put two and two together and you think it’s because of your escapades with the
crew do you. Well lets have a look
then, get out of your stuff and I’ll take a look see.”
I dropped
my shorts and briefs and stood there whilst he got his glasses. He pulled up a chair behind me and sat to
take a look.
After a few
moments he said “Its no good like this, get on the bed”
Before I
did though, he pulled some cushions and pillows together in a heap in the
middle and told me to lie over them, so as to expose my ass to the light. Pulling my legs apart, he gently prodded the
inflamed skin making me jump at his touch.
“My, my,
my, what has been going on here?” he said to himself as he started the
examination.
His tone
made me more frightened than ever.
“Why,
what’s the matter” I said in some panic.
“You found
a new game using beer bottles or something?” he said touching around my hole.
“What’s
happened?” I gasped.
“You look a
bit bruised that’s all, don’t get your knickers in a twist young man. Mind, that doesn’t come as any surprise does
it, with what you just told me.”
He clipped
my bum like I was a bad boy.
“I once got
this” he said knowingly, “So I know what will do the trick.”
“Would that
be an asshole like the Mersey tunnel or the rash you are talking about?
“Look Mr.
Butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-his-mouth. If
you want my experienced attention, you better put a sock in the insults”
We both giggled!
I could
hear him sorting through his medicine box, and then he came back to the bed and
sat between my legs. I was thinking how
hard it would be to go to the medic with this, but I felt fine with Norman
examining my most intimate parts, as he had already done a few times.
“Let me rub
this on for you now, then you can do it morning and night after you have
showered. I think you will find it very
soothing and it should get rid of the discomfort quickly if I’m not much
mistaken”
His hand
gently rubbed the cool ointment around the tops of my legs. It was all very comforting and made me relax
totally. After being so worried, now
everything was going to be alright again. With all the tension lifted, I almost
felt giddy.
He took his
time, doing one leg and then the other.
He asked if he was hurting me and which parts of my legs and bum gave
the most pain. Once he had got started
though, the pain and burning sensation seemed to evaporate. After my legs, he rubbed the cream into my
ass cheeks and over my arsehole.
I squirmed,
first for making me jump and then with the nice feeling taking hold as his
fingers worked all along my crack. A
gasp of pleasure escaped my lips.
“Feeling
better are we?” he asked.
“I told you
before Norman, you should be doing massage, not working in a hot steaming
kitchen.”
“Chance
would be a fine thing. I know I’ve been
made to give pleasure in this world, just I didn’t know it would be through a
mans stomach. Hoped it would be something a bit more exotic like.”
I grunted
as his fingers worked their magic around the lips of my arsehole, it was
turning me on whether I liked it or not.
He brought
me out of it. “You been to the loo
since the other night then?”
I hadn’t
thought about it, but now he had asked, “No I haven’t.” I started to get worried again.
“Not
surprising really, is it? Not if you
had all those up there. There are
little tricks you have to learn if you are going to go around giving little
performances like that you know.”
“Norman, I
didn’t go looking for it, you make it sound like I went as asked for all them
to fuck me.”
“Well I
don’t know about you dear, but I cant say that I wouldn’t have, if I was in
your shoes! Plenty of lovely swarthy
hot Latino’s”
He made me
laugh with some of the stuff he came out with.
“Well one
thing’s for sure, if you haven’t been for 3 days, it’s going to be like
spitting bricks. I’m going to put some
cream up your chute, so that when you go, it will be smooth and painless and
not like razor blades. After I’m done
here, you can take a mouth full of something I have that will also make it
easy. You learn these things, they take
out the bumps in the road, if you get my drift, so there’s nothing to regret
from a good night on the town.”
He put more
cream on his fingers and I felt the coldness as a digit made its way up my
chute.
“What is it
you are putting on there exactly”
“Its an
antibiotic cream. Good stuff to, you
can’t buy it over the counter, well not in England you cant, but I order it in
through the medic on the stores list.”
“Certainly
feels soothing, the burning sensation is already going down I think.”
I felt his
finger deep inside, applying the cream to my innards. He touched that spot that gave me another kind of itch. I could feel my dick swell and fill
out. I had to try and fight the
feeling.
“Fuck
Norman! Even that feels good.” I said
more to myself but of course, he heard it.
“Like it do
we, well nothing queer in that is there.” His other hand slapped my bum.
“Ouch” I
cried.
“Keep
quiet, nobody else is going to do this for you, you are not that well liked you
know”
I laughed,
but then involuntarily pushed against his probing finger. He was turning me on something rotten.
When he
withdrew his finger I regretted it. But
it was only to squeeze out more cream and he slowly pushed it back again.
A gave a
sigh of relief when it was back inside.
Although I
tried to keep still so he could do his medication, I found it impossible. Something else was making me clench against
his finger when he touched my special place, and I just couldn’t help pushing
out my ass against his hand.
“Getting
hot are we dear?”
“Fuck, yes
Norman, sorry but I cant help it, whatever you are doing feels really good.”
“Well I’m
only trying to help after all.”
His finger
passed over the spot yet again and I groaned in ecstasy, burying my head into
the bed cover to try and keep myself quiet.
My cock was
throbbing, squashed against my stomach and the bed. I was quickly loosing control, not being able to stop humping
between the bed and his fingers. There,
naked on the covers, bent over a pile of cushions with my ass high in the
air. I was at once embarrassed, yet on
the other hand, was past caring and couldn’t get enough of the sensations he
was bringing about.
“We are the
hot one aren’t we. I forgot just what
it was like to be your age and on a hair trigger.”
I was in
heaven and didn’t want him to prattle on, it was too distracting.
“Like
something a little stronger, would we?”
I didn’t
know what he was on about, but just said “Yes”.
He took out
his finger, but then returned what I imagined to be two. I didn’t mind at all, it felt even better.
“Mmmm, I
know the trick when you have that kind of an itch, just let Norman sort it out
for you.”
He took out
his finger again, which I was most disappointed about, but then he moved his
position on the bed. Moment later, I
felt him resume his wonderful ministrations.
“Okay are
we?” he asked.
I could
only groan and squirm.
“This will
help” he said.
Something
much bigger entered my arsehole. I
guess from being well stretched and lubricated by his fingers, it was some time
before I caught on what he was doing.
But by that time, he was home and directly hitting my prostate with each
thrust. The first reaction was to be
angry, but before I could sort out the words, the wonderful sensation rippled
up through my body as his cock scratched my itch better than any finger
could. On every thrust, I was transported
immediately to heaven.
After a
minute, he abruptly stopped. “How are
we dear?” he enquired most concerned.
Shit
Norman, I thought, what a time to start asking how I am.
Exasperated,
I almost shouted, “Norman, just fuck me. Now!”
“Oh, now,
now, just trying to be nice about it dear, no need to get uppity like that.”
I laughed
and then paused, not wanting to upset him.
“Norman,
you are nice, you feel wonderful, but don’t stop now.” I wailed.
“Sorry
dear, but did I hear a please there at all?”
“I can’t
believe this. Yes Norman, please,
please, please, just fuck me. Shit, I’m
begging you, how about that?”
“That’s
better, always told you they beg me for it didn’t I.”
Now I
remembered that he told me that before, how his conquests used to beg him for
his favours. I stuck my ass back at
him.
He resumed,
not only that but he moved up a gear taking me with him. Even that big fat stomach was put to good
use and pinned me down so that each of his thrusts better gave me the satisfaction
I was craving. He was no spring
chicken, but he knew what to do and do it well.
There was
no quick finish either, so by the time he filled me up with his sauce, we had
been going quite a while.
Panting, he
rolled off to the side. Mentally exhausted
myself, I stayed just where I was.
Eventually
we both stirred.
“Are we
alright?” he asked concerned.
I sighed
contentedly and rolled off the cushions and on to my back.
“Norman
that was great. It was just what the
doctor ordered as far as I am concerned. You hit the spot bull’s eye, I feel
one hundred percent better already.”
He rose off
the bed and shambled back into his shorts.
“I don’t
like to disappoint, but its good to know you are alright about it all. After all, its not everyday I get some
handsome chicken in here.”
“Who’s
chicken?” I asked puzzled.
“You are
dear, as wonderful piece of chicken as ever there was.”
“What are
you talking about, you will have to explain it to me.”
“It’s the
language dear, at your age and looking like you do, it’s referred to as
chicken. Mind when you first came on this ship, I would have said I was a
cradle snatcher, but not now. I can see
the way you are changing, it wont be long before someone says you are prime
beef.”
I got his
drift and giggled at the idea of me being a chicken.
Once back
in his few clothes, he grabbed my hand and pulled me up off the bed.
“This is
not a hotel young man, we all got work to do.
Now, rub this cream in morning and night.”
He rummaged
through his box again and brought out a card of tablets.
“Take one
of these three times a day after meals for five days. Don’t miss one.” He
admonished.
Taking a
canister, he dug a teaspoon full of granules out of it and put it to my mouth.
“Swallow
these with water, then your big trip to the loo will not be an unpleasant one.”
I did as he
said impressed with the array of weapons he had going for me.
He slapped
my bum quite hard.
“Now get
that temptation back in your shorts and get out of here quick. You wont want me to tell anyone why I am
late with the lunch do you?”
I took the
hint, got dressed and made for the door.
“Come back
after tomorrow and let me take a look again, just to make sure I’m on the right
track with this, eh? Oh yes, nearly
forgot. You are going to have to keep
out of Brians way you know. Don’t let
him slip you one for a week either. And
if you didn’t get the message, don’t you do him. I know you two are six of one and a half dozen of the other. Tell him you got the runs, then a
headache. Use your imagination. And remember, don’t let him see any of this
medicine or you might have some embarrassing explaining to do. Never easy to explain something like this to
your partner, I can tell you.”
I really
marvelled at Norman, I don’t know what I would have done without him on this
ship.
“How about
you then Norman?” I was puzzled thinking at how he had just done me.
“Look dear,
I know how to take care of myself, been around for a long time as you can see.
So don’t worry over me.”
“Okay,
thanks Norman, you are the best really.”
I said sincerely.
Before I
left the cabin, I reached up to his face and gave him a kiss.
He wouldn’t
take it for what it was though.
“Don’t
think you can get into my pants by just one kiss dear” he mocked.
I pulled a
face and gave him the finger, scooting out of his cabin before he landed me a
crack.
Part 2
After
seeing Norman, I went and found the medic and told him I had the shits. He gave me some Imodium. I threw a couple of the tablets down the
toilet and left the card on my table. I didn’t like fooling Brian, but Norman
was right, if I had to explain what had happened, or worse if I passed
something on to him, that would be the end.
I met up
with him after dinner. He told me he was still rough, as was Alan and
Barry. I was the only one who didn’t
get it for real, only a bad hangover.
Alan had the shits really bad, so Brian had pulled the night watch till
he was better. He hardly ever got a
nighter, but for once this was my good fortune as we wouldn’t be able to get
together even if we had wanted to.
That night,
I lay thinking of what I did with Norman. He was old enough to be my dad. Before I came on this ship, if I had seen
him acting about like he does in my home town, I would have crossed the street
maybe, before passing him. Also he had
a big stomach and was in no stretch of the imagination good looking.
But I never
saw any of that now. He was the one I
knew I could confide in and the one who I would run to in times of
trouble. I was really comfortable in
his company and he was always making me laugh.
It was hard to believe that we had just had sex, but in fact it was good
and I enjoyed it very much. Perhaps it was something to do with the relief of
finding out that my problem was going to be fixed after all that worrying, I
don’t know for sure.
The next
morning I took a shower and checked my arse again. It was still red but all the
burning and soreness had gone completely.
In fact for the rest of the day I didn’t give it a thought.
I saw Brian
at dinner, that is my dinner and his breakfast. He was really grumbling as he
said he’d not been able to sleep very well.
I secretly hoped he would be on the night shift for the rest of the
week. I felt bad at thinking that, even
though he could have pulled a stint of night shift at any time really.
*****
In the
morning, I nipped off and went to see Norman in his cabin again.
“How is it
old love” he asked letting me in.
“Still red,
but the soreness has gone now.” I assured him, feeling well pleased.
“Still
taking the tablets?” he asked sternly.
“Yes, I
wont forget that, don’t worry yourself.”
“Just
checking love, can’t be too careful.” He said softening his tone and patting my
bum.
“You want
to see?” I asked him, sticking out my bum and giving him a wink.
“Suit
yourself dear” he replied as if he couldn’t have cared less. I knew that couldn’t be possible.
I quickly
got out of my work gear, and let down my jeans. He didn’t move to pile up the cushions in the bed, so I asked him
how he wanted to examine me.
“Kneel on
the bed dear, lets take a deko.”
Taking off
my jockey’s I did as he said. He took a
chair and sat down behind me.
“Put you
head down on the bed dear, let me get the light in your bum, there’s a good
boy”.
Once I did
that, it was stuck well up in the air for him.
“Mmmm,
still as red as a beetroot. Sure it’s
not hurting?” he asked.
His finger
prodded me a little.
“I can see
you have stopped playing with beer bottles.
That’s nice! Maybe just
miniatures now, eh?”
“Norman!”, I
shouted exasperated at his verbal picture drawing and teasing. I knew he could easily get me going.
His finger
probing didn’t make me jump as before.
He went to his medicine box and got out the antibiotic cream.
“Better put
on the cream three times a day, ducks. Lets get it cleared up quicker.”
He sat on
his chair and smoothed out a glob of cream at the top of my legs. Slowly he massaged it into the skin, working
it gently all over the affected area.
Not just rubbing the cream into my skin, he also worked at the muscles
beneath which I loved. He knew I liked
massage, so he was combining the two I think.
“Been to
the loo yet Mike” he asked, bringing me out of my reverie.
“Last
night, no problem. Your stuff did the trick, smooth as silk!”
“Mmm, good
for that. Better get you a supply of
those granules, never know when they will come in handy for the future.”
I giggled,
wondering what he would imagine me getting into next. As if to chastise my thoughts, he stuck his finger into my ass,
making me both jump and howl.
“Less of
the lewdness if you please.” He said.
He went
back to his massage, now finishing off the tops of my legs and working towards
the crack. I held my tongue, relishing
his touch as this most sensitive spot.
My dick had got hard within a minute of him starting, but I didn’t
care. I could look back beneath me and
see it pointing down hard, swinging in the breeze as his hands rocked my body
with his pushing and pulling.
As before,
he magic was working me up. I knew he
would, in fact I was kind of hoping he would.
But as he massaged, he made no move to do more than apply the crème and
give a little extra squeezing.
I began to
be disappointed, even kind of feeling hurt that he didn’t make a move on
me. I know that was silly, but I was
ready and with Brian not being available, could do with some extra playing
around.
I couldn’t
be out of sight for long or else Charley would be asking about me, so I decided
to push it a bit.
“Norman?”
“Yes dear”
“Aren’t you
going to give me the dish of the day?”
Crack!! He brought his palm down hard on my bum.
“Cheeky
bugger!” he cursed. “Getting a bit itchy are we with Brian on nights.”
God, Norman
knew everything or else he could read me like a book.
Sheepishly
I said yes.
“I don’t
know, wouldn’t like to get between you and Brian. I don’t like any aggravation, just can’t do with it in a small
place like this ship. I’ve got to live
with everyone you know.”
“Sorry
Norman, but I just thought with the other day, you wouldn’t mind doing it
again. I really liked it, honest.”
“So did I,
so did I, dear. Who wouldn’t, I mean,
really. Trouble with you, at your age
you’re always horny, and that stops you thinking straight. Can’t think further than the end of your
dick, that’s the trouble with cheeky buggers like you. But I have to think a bit further than
that.”
He started
me laughing and I began to loose my hard on.
“Just what
I am going to do with you?” he cuffed me across the back of my head.
“I love you
really, that’s my downfall. I could
spoil you rotten and just cant say no.”
“Does that
mean yes then Norman?”
“You’ll be
the death of me, you rascal. Have you
never heard of the doctor patient relationship? You’ll get me struck off if you don’t watch it.”
“Get you
thrown out of the kitchen more like it, screwing on the table.”
He reached
under and grabbed my balls and gave them a squeeze.
“Ouch, that
hurts” I yelled.
“So it should you monkey! Now get your arse lowered a bit, or I will
never get this over with and you out of here ”
I heard him
open his fly and the shorts fall to the floor.
I buried my face into the perfume smelling bed cover in anticipation.
His dick
edged its way slowly inside. He huffed
and puffed pushing and shoving till he was fully home. Then he wrapped his arms around my chest,
pulling me into the warm softness of his ample belly and began humping.
It was just
what I needed, feeling a hot cock throbbing inside me. I groaned and lost myself into seventh
heaven.
He took his
time, like his massages, which was just fine by me. I met his thrust with a stone wall of my arse, letting him drill
deeper and deeper as his passion grew stronger and stronger.
I groaned
with sheer pleasure.
“Norman, I
would love you to do this all fucking day.”
“Chance
would be a fine thing, I’m a long way past your age, and so you will have to
put up with ten minutes instead.”
“You know
what I mean, I really like how you do this.”
“By the
looks of it, I don’t think its me, I think you just like it, period.”
“Ouch, that
hurt” I laughed.
But his
joke sat upon me for a very long time and I began to question my actions and
behaviour. I had not realised what I
was doing till he put it like that. I
didn’t like to admit it, but he was right, I did love being filled up with
cock. But the conundrum was that it was
only with some people. I could give as
good as I got with Brian. I wanted to
fuck Jess’ brains out just to look at those beautiful blue eyes. Yet with Norman, there was nothing better to
be held tight in his arms and let him fill me up.
He was
right about the time. As he got to the
final minute, he began nudging me across the bed with each thrust, with him
finally having to climb up on the bed with me to keep connected and not loose
the final pleasures of coming.
As soon as
I felt his cock get bigger within and really feel the heat, I knew he was about
to blow. The mental picture of his cock firing off in my arse sent me over the
top just as he did that very thing. I
covered his lovely bedspread with my juice as he filled up me up with chef’s
special.
We both
grunted like pigs in the final moments.
I loved it, and I’m sure Norman did too. I never heard a word of him having sex with anyone on the ship,
neither did I have the nerve to ask him.
But by the feel of amount of juice he pumped up me, I have to think this
last week must have been the first sex in a long, long while.
Surprisingly,
he recovered quicker than I, getting up off the bed and donning his clothes
again.
“Now move
your ass Mike, or someone might just walk in here and catch us. You’ve been out of sight for long enough,
this is not worth getting into trouble over.”
I was a bit
disappointed about his curt manner, but I knew he was right and I jumped up and
into my gear again.
As I made
to leave, he caught my arm and pulled me close.
“Thanks
sweetheart, you know I really appreciate you.” he whispered softly.
Leaning
down, he kissed my forehead.
“Now get
back and do some work, or I’ll have to have a word with Henry about you skiving
around.”
“You
wouldn’t do that Norman.” I laughed.
“Wouldn’t
I, just don’t push your luck you little terror.”
Playfully
he pinched my arse and pushed me out the door.
Part 3
That night
was not a good one for me. Laying in
bed, I remembered what Norman said about me “liking it period”. I was upset to think that was what he
thought, even as a joke. Yet as I
looked at myself, I had already been with eight that I knew of, not counting
those in the cabin at Baltimore. What
ringed in my ears were the tales of Martin, the young lad who I had
replaced. When he was talked about, you
could tell they had nothing but contempt for his sexual doings. The last thing I wanted was to be thought in
the same way. I knew Martin was a thief
and that was what probably coloured anyone’s opinion of him. But still.
The other
side of the coin, was that I knew I enjoyed doing it just as Norman said. When I was at school, I had always thought
when a person found someone and loved them, it would be enough. Now I realised that I loved more than one
person. I could love Jess just as much
as I loved Brian. And I loved Norman too; even though it was obvious it was in
a different way. Still, they were all
pieces of a jigsaw that I could not fit together.
Coming so
fresh from school and family, suddenly it was all proving a bit too much. It all weighed heavily in my head, and try
as I might, there was no easy answer I could satisfy myself with.
Being short
of sleep, the next day was bad. I was
tired out and depressed with thinking on what kind of person I might be turning
into. I don’t think I spoke to anyone
at dinner and after eating, went straight to my cabin.
****
I was
sitting brooding over my pot of tea at breakfast. Norman came over.
“What’s up
duck, feeling a bit under the weather?”
I looked
him in the face and saw his concern. Suddenly
it hit that he really cared for me. Of
course I knew it before, but this time it made me feel silly about all the
sulking I’d been doing.
I forced a
smile, feeling my face crack as I made the muscles do their job.
“I’m
alright Norman, just thinking a bit too much I guess.”
“Well I
have some good news for you. Alan is
back at work now, so if I know anything, Brian will be off nights today.”
He bent
down close to me ear.
“And you’ve
finished the tablets now, haven’t you?”
I looked up
and nodded.
He gave a
wink and ruffled my hair, passing on to clear some of the tables off.
I felt a
little better for the rest of the day.
I was trying hard to think of anything to keep my mind away from it all.
Later that
afternoon, I was walking back from the mess, when I heard running footsteps
behind me. I was about to turn around
to look, when Brian did a flying leap, coming down on my shoulders, locking his
arm round my neck.
“Hey you
tosser, what you been up to?” he shouted.
I pushed
him off and stood upright, coming opposite his grinning face. He mocked a punch into my shoulder, but
still managing to knock me into the wall.
Suddenly a
wave of happiness swept over me knowing he was back again. The gloominess dropped away like falling
leaves.
He did a
quick look in both directions, then grabbed me about the neck, pulling me up
close and fastening his lips to mine for a few seconds.
“Fuck, have
I missed you. Over a fucking week
without you. And doing shit nights, I
cant fucking sleep at all during the daytime, just cant get used to it. Anyway, Alan is back on nights, which he
loves so I’m off the hook. Have you
missed me?”
It was my
turn to give him a jab in the sides now,
“Missed you, what for?” I mocked, trying to look horrified.
We fell to
scrapping down the corridor, pushing and shoving as I made my way back to the
engine room and him to his cabin.
Before I
headed down the companionway, he grabbed me with his arm around my neck. He whispered in my ear.
“Not jacked
off for a fucking week, can you believe that?
Tonight I’m going to fuck you from one end of the ship to the other. How
about that?”
“No, no,
no” I whined. “You got it wrong, it’s me going to do that to you, dick head.”
“I got an
off tomorrow with changing shifts, and you are off too, I checked with Norman.
So we have all the time we want to do both.”
He jabbed me in the ribs.
I pushed
him off playfully, and darted through the door towards the engine room,
conscious of the hard on that had already sprang up with the talk of sex.
Gradually
the happiness won over the despondency I’d been in. Finally I thought what the hell, I’m damn well looking forward to
sex with Brian. For the last couple of
hours in the engine room, it was like a weight had been lifted off my
shoulders.
We went to
the mess for dinner together. Going up
to check the choices on the board, Norman called me over.
“You two go
away and come back in fifteen minutes.”
I looked
puzzled wondering why we couldn’t eat.
“Don’t
argue, be off with you.” He said
sternly, raising his spatula as if to hit me.
I grabbed
Brian and took him back out, explaining what Norman had said. We sat in the lounge chatting about the past
week to fill the time. After, we went
back to the mess and peered around the door first to see if we could enter.
Norman
spied us.
“Come on
in, its okay now. Couldn’t have you in
before with the other lads here, wouldn’t be fair.”
We wondered
what it was all about, but sat down anyway.
Norman re-appeared and spread a tablecloth, which we had never seen
happen before. We looked at each other
speechless.
Norman was
back in a minute carrying two dinner plates.
“Now then
lads, here is a special treat for you, best t-bone steak with all the
trimmings. Couldn’t let the rest of the
crew see this could I, they’d have had my garters, and that would not be a
pretty sight.”
I had
noticed the board said chicken curry or fish and chips, so this was a real
treat for us.
“What’s the
occasion Norman?” asked Brian.
“Only your
fairy godmother feeling generous today dear.”
He came
back with some more trimmings together with half a bottle of red wine.
“God,” said
Brian in some amazement. “I’ve been on
this tub for three years, and I’ve never seen a tablecloth or a bottle of
wine.”
“Well
you’re seeing it now, so shut it,” said Norman threatening to hit him.
“No, I’m
not complaining Norman. Where you get
the wine then, nicked it from the Master’s stash?”
“You could
say that,” said Norman, “but don’t let on to anyone about it, its just our
secret.”
The three
of us sat down and had a wonderful meal.
We were in well over an hour eating and drinking and laughing, lots and
lots of laughing. When we came out, I
felt like a new person.
Later we
went and looked in on the lounge again and watched a video. We’d both seen it a dozen times already, so
about half way through Brian says for us to go. Once outside, he asks if Barry is using the cabin and I tell him
no.
“You go on
then back then, I’ll go and sweet talk Norman into some extra beers.”
He went off
to see what he could get while I went back to the cabin. I jumped in the shower again for a rinse
off. As I was drying off Brian appeared
with a couple of six-packs.
“I’m sure
it must be Norm’s birthday or something, he’s in a really good mood. No problem to get these.” He set them down,
pulling one carton apart.
I slipped
on some shorts and tee-shirt, joining him on the bed. We propped ourselves against each other talking. Brian downed three bottles one after the
other, but after that big meal, I was too full to do that.
Abruptly,
he got off the bed and stood up. I
wondered what he was up to.
“Lets have
an early night, I reckon I could do with one,” he said, stripping off his
stuff.
“But you
have slept till this afternoon, how come you are so tired.”
“I was in
bed, but not sleeping, well not what I would call sleep. I know when I’m next to you, I will sleep
just fine.”
“Oh, I put
you to sleep do I, well for that I think you better go back to your own cabin”
I laughed.
He jumped
on me and gave me a long kiss.
“You know
what I mean, don’t have to spell it out for you, dummy!”
Naked he
slipped under the sheets. I was about
to do the same when he stopped me.
“You can
get them off for a start, this is naked territory, no clothes allowed.”
We snuggled
up close and fell into kissing for a while.
From
kissing and nibbling, his tongue went deep into my mouth. Immediately I had a
vision of his dick going deep inside my arse and got hard. He felt it and reached down and took hold.
“God Mike,
I love you, I love your dick too.”
We hugged
tightly.
Part 4
I was
expecting him to put me on my back as he had threatened earlier in the
afternoon, but he seemed content with just hugging and kissing. He was hard, I felt it making him groan into
my mouth as we kissed. I was getting
horny and wanted him inside me.
“Didn’t I
hear you say something about a tour of the ship earlier?”
He broke
apart and giggled.
“Just
dipping my toe in the water to see what you would say.”
“So no
tour?”
“You know
what I want right now?” he asked.
“No, tell
me.”
He kissed
me deep first.
“I want your
big dick inside me, then we’ll talk about the tour.”
That took
me by surprise, usually he wanted to get his rocks off first before we swapped
about.
I moved to
get on top, but he stopped me.
“No, I want
it like this.”
He turned
away and backed up, reaching behind to pull my legs up tight into the spoon
position. He grabbed my arm and pulled
it around his chest.
“Just hold
me tight will you.”
This was
usually Brian in the morning half awake, not when we had just gone to bed.
He jiggled
his arse around. My hard dick worked its way into his crack till it found the
right place. He backed slowly onto it taking plenty of time.
I had to
help out with some spit, but once I was firmly lodged, I hugged him close like
he wanted.
“Missed
you” he said quietly. “Do it good.”
I started
slow, pushing in and out with long strokes.
When I was fully home and my bush was grinding into his arse, he was
grunting at the top of every thrust.
“Fuck,” he
whispered, “I reckon you must be still growing, that’s got where it never went
before. I love it.”
I loved it
too, the feel of Brian in my arms, the smell of his body I now knew so well,
our movements together so well rehearsed.
I took my time, playing with making him moan and gasp. Doing it slow, then jabbing in harder, then
slowing down once more. There was no
rush, we had all night and I really liked to prolong it for as long as
possible.
I must
admit, since I’d seen him in the afternoon right till I got inside him, all my
thoughts were of him fucking me like he’d said. So being in the driving seat was a surprise to say the least.
“Mike”, he
whispered. “You feel great, just don’t
stop. I want you to do it all night
long.”
I kissed
the back of his neck. “I’ll do my
best.”
I reckon I
must have been fucking him slowly like that for going on an hour. Getting near orgasm and then cooling
off. Eventually the heat from near
orgasm became a constant burning even when I stopped. I thought my cock would burst it throbbed so hard.
“I’m going
to cum,” I warned.
“Do it hard
will you.”
I still
tried to hold off, but finally a line was crossed and I went for it. I held him tight to stop him moving away as
I thrust as hard as I could. When I
came, it was like taking a pee after building up for so long. Brian threw his head back and gasped. I didn’t stop even when I finished cuming,
as I felt Brian go rigid and shake. He
came into the sheets.
After a
minute, I made to break loose but he stopped me.
“Don’t,
just hold me for a while” he said.
I snuggled
up close, my dick still inside. Slowly
I came down from my own private heaven as I got my breath again. That was wonderful, how perfect after that
fabulous meal. My eyes closed and my
mind clouded, running away with itself.
Part 5
I awoke to
a noise. Slowly I became aware of
someone in the room. At first I thought
it was Brian in the bathroom but then I realised he was still curled up in
front of me. I turned my head to
look.
“Oh, Mike,
sorry to wake you two love birds, but I got to find my pullovers. It’s been so long since I had to wear
them. I’m on deck opening up hatch
three and four and its fucking cold.
Fine, but cold.”
“Shit!” I
murmured, it was already morning.
Barry
seemed to have found what he wanted in his cupboard and came over to the
bed. We were both naked from our
lovemaking.
“We are
docking in about three hours, so you know we have to be prepared and not waste
any time.”
He looked
down smiling.
“Been
enjoying yourself I see. Lucky
bastards” he grinned.
Brian
stirred, slowly waking and stretching his arms above his head.
“Ah, Barry,
come to join us or something?”
“Chance
would be a fine thing!, No just came to get something against the cold, I’m on
deck doing the hatches.”
“If you
want warming up, me and Mike can do that in a minute.” He gave a wicked smile.
“I wish I
could, but got to go. Anyway I can see
you’re just kidding” he laughed.
Brian
challenged him, “We’re game if you are Barry, you know we like a bit of a turn
with you, don’t we Mike?”
He dug me
in the ribs. I laughed seeing as how
Barry was kind of on the spot. But it
didn’t escape my notice that he had a hard on forming down one leg of his pants.
“Thanks,
but really I have to go or Charley will blow a fuse. But I’ll call back at tea break if that’s alright with you two?”
“Fine, see
you then,” said Brian.
Barry
whacked my bum and took off out the door.
“You
serious?” I said after he left.
“Why not,
been a while since we had fun with Barry, and we got the whole day to
ourselves. You don’t mind I said that
do you?”
“No, just
sometimes you have a knack of surprising me, that’s all.”
“Oh, like
when?”
“For
starters, last night was one, I thought you were going to screw me all around
the ship, instead you went all lovey-dovey on me.”
“I’m going
to surprise you a third time too. Do me
again, right now. Last night was
wonderful, and I’m itching for seconds.”
“Your wish
is my command, oh great one. Which
position would you like your servant to do you in.”
“Your
choice”
“Okay, on
your front with your legs apart” I commanded.
He grinned
and turned over, wiggling his bum about in anticipation.
I settled
on my knees behind and slowly wanked myself to full hardness. I parted his cheeks and could see his hole
was still wet from last night. I eased
myself down and slid gently inside.
I cupped my
hands around his shoulders, while kissing the back of his neck making him sigh
in contentment. Getting fully home, I
could sense he was full of my spendings as my cock slurped about as I started
to fuck.
Brian stuck
up his arse to meet me. “Fucking great
Mike, how I love this, Oh, Oh…….”
This time it
was not to make it last long, but for the thrill and gratification. His ass was really hot and being
pre-lubricated, I could easily ram all the way in. It turned us both on and within minutes I was building for a
great explosion.
When I told
him I was going to come soon, Brian talked us both to the climax.
“Fuck..
Mike,.. stick… that…fucking… big… dick…right… up… me,… drown… me… in… fucking…
cum… will… you.”
But his
speech was broken into individual words as each thrust stopped him stringing
them together.
I rolled
off exhausted and Brian turned onto his side to reveal another wet patch on the
bed where he had cum.
“Wow, I’m
getting to like you doing me.”
“Really,
didn’t know you didn’t before.”
“I’ve
always liked you doing it, but I really love it now. Maybe it’s my period or something.”
We both
laughed and came together for a loving kiss.
There was a
knock on the door and we panicked grabbing the sheet to cover up.
“Who is
it?” I asked curiously.
“Only me”
cried Norman. “Can I come in, are you
decent?”
Relieved,
we told him to come on in.
“What’s
this Norman?” asked Brian, wondering what could have brought him to our cabin.
“Just a
little room service for my love birds.
Thought you might like some coffee seeing as how your presence didn’t
grace the mess room this morning.”
“Are you
alright?” asked Brian, wondering like me what all this care and concern was
about.
“Me,
alright? Course I’m alright dears. Can’t your mother do something nice for
once?”
“You can do
this everyday Norman, I would love this to get me out of bed in the
morning. Like a hotel I reckon.” I
said.
“Well don’t
expect a good looking bell boy to come knocking, it wont happen, only your
Aunty Norman.”
“Anyway,
whatever, thanks a bunch Norm. This is
right royal treatment.”
We sat and
talked for a few minutes before he said he would have to get back to the
kitchen.
“Enjoy
boys!” he said leaving.
“Fancy
that, old Norman bringing us morning coffee.
Only the Master gets room service.
We must be his favourites.”
“I think he
is reliving his youth with us two.”
“Whatever,
its great of him, we owe him for last night and this” said Brian.
“Don’t give me another surprise and invite
him in here between us” I said joking.
“Nah, I
would but the bed’s not big enough for him as well. He’d fucking break it if he tried.”
We cracked
up laughing till Brian grabbed me and kissed.
“You’re the
best, you know that. I love you.”
“Me too” I
answered him between dips of his tongue.
“Are you
ready?”
“Ready,
ready for what?” I asked my mind completely off track.
“Ready for
my turn. I’m horny as fuck again.”
“Which
position?” I asked.
“You
choose.”
I moved to
the middle of the bed on my back and raised my knees to my chest.
“Get the
picture?” I joked.
Brian got
between my legs and buried his face in my groin. Licking my balls and around to my ass, very quickly making me
shiver with delight. One hand stroked
my cock and his tongue darted into my most sensitive parts. I groaned and twitched my arse, opening the
lips of my hole so that his tongue could tantalise me to distraction.
“Oh God,
Brian stop that and fuck me like you said you would.” I begged.
“Yes sir,”
he mimicked.
I closed my
eyes, waiting for that moment when his hot dick would touch my sacred spot.
I sucked in
through my teeth, as he pushed slowly inside.
Once home, he lowered his body onto mine and began his work.
It felt
great to have him inside. But then my
mind crashed and flashed back to the torment of previous days. Just as suddenly, in my minds eye, big
letters flashed across like an electronic sign. ‘Fuck it, I don’t give a shit, I love this, I love a dick up my
ass. There is no better pleasure. Either that or mine in someone else. I don’t
give a damn what anyone says, I like it, I want it, I couldn’t care less.’
All those
hours of depression and twisted thinking and the whole thing settled itself
with finality in a split second.
In response
I wrapped my arms over Brian’s back, holding him tight. I wanted him, wanted to merge our bodies as
if we were just one person.
His hot
dick pummelled my arse and it felt wonderful.
“Mike, one
week without this. I got a lot of
catching up to do.”
All I could
manage between breaths was “Yes, yes, yes.”
I was
really happy again.
Part 6
“Come on”
Brian said catching my arm and dragging me off the bed and on to the floor.
“Lets clean
up, bet we don’t smell too good after all that.”
I struggled
up, exhausted after our mornings exertions.
Tired, but glowing inside. I dragged off the dirty sheets and dug out
some replacements before joining Brian in the bathroom.
We cleaned
ourselves out and then showered, each taking turns to wash the other. Our dicks responded at the appropriate time
as fingers and soap washed all over.
But we saved it for later.
As we were
making the beds, there was a kick against the door and Barry shuffled in before
we had time to ask who it was.
“Brought
you some coffee, guys.” He said, putting a tray of three mugs onto the table.
“Shit, ten
o’ clock already” remarked Brain, “Where did the morning go to?”
We were
both naked, having dumped our underwear with the sheets in the laundry
bag. We finished fitting the bed covers
and then sat down with Barry to have a drink.
“What’s it
like up top.” Asked Brian.
“Nice,
hatches are open, ships waiting on the pilot and Halifax looks quite a pretty
town.”
My cabin
was on the wrong side, so we couldn’t see it through the porthole.
“Pity we
are not staying for a while then.” Said Brian.
“No, in and
out it should be. Unload those tyres
from San Paulo and load machinery for Liverpool. If all goes well, we’ll be on the evening tide. The next place we’ll see and get ashore is
good old Liverpool.” Continued Barry.
The name of
our homeport made me stop and think. I
had talked with Brian and we had agreed to pay off when we reached there. After
a break at home, we were going to try to get with a decent shipping line and do
our apprenticeship properly. This kind
of ship would never be any good for a proper career.
My
daydreaming was broken by Barry standing up.
I thought he was going, but instead he tugged off his thick pullover.
“God, it
feels hot in here after being top side”, he remarked.
The heat
was on in the cabin, so it was warm enough for us not to be rushing into
clothes.
“Freeze
your balls off up there” he laughed.
“So watch it you two, don’t want to loose those jewels of yours.”
Instinctively
we both looked down to our balls together, making us laugh at the timing.
Then Brian
suddenly grabbed Barry in the balls. He
had both hands round his coffee mug, so was unable to move quickly without
spilling any.
“So how did
you get on up there, still go some? He asked
He didn’t
remove his hand and Barry couldn’t move away, nor could he reach across Brian
to the table and put down the coffee.
“Aaaaah!!!!”
he gasped.
“I can’t
feel any, sure you didn’t loose them” he enquired in an innocent voice.
Barry
squirmed. “Get off me balls, you’ll do
‘em an injury squeezing like that.”
But he was
laughing his head off.
“No, I
think we should have a proper examination” said Brian.
He was
being a bit lame, but Barry thought it very funny. Brian unhooked the clasp on his pants and opened the zip.
“Get off!”
shouted Barry, still chuckling.
Brian
didn’t heed, but pulled out the top of his underwear and pushed down his hand.
Barry was
struggling and I reached to relieve him of the coffee mug so it wouldn’t spill
all over. Once Barry had his hands
free, he feebly tried pushing Brian off.
But it was too late, I guessed he had already got hold of his dick or
balls in there, so Barry couldn’t be too rough with him.
“Alright,
alright, you win” he said. “Let me get up and I’ll show you.”
Brian let
go and Barry stood, as we thought to let down the pants. But instead he laughed and began doing the
zip up. Brian was on him like a flash,
pushing him back down in the chair. In
seconds he had the top of his pants open again.
“Okay,
quits,” laughed Barry. “You win, you fucking maniac.”
He stood up
and let his pants fall to the floor.
Then he hooked is fingers in the waistband of his briefs and wiggled his
hips, jokingly doing a little enticing dance as they inched down his thighs.
“You two
ready for Big Barry?” he giggled.
We started
clapping our hands in unison, crying “Get them off, get them off.”
For the
uncovering, he quickly flicked them down the last couple of inches, and threw
up his arms in the air in triumph.
“Barry the
Magnificent” he announced. “Only seen by the special few.”
Although we
had seen it before, we both still looked transfixed. At the same time almost on cue, he began to get hard and his cock
filled out and stood at right angles as we stared.
We
collapsed together laughing.
“I can’t
help it” he said embarrassed. “It’s
being in the same room as you maniacs that does it.”
Brian
grabbed his dick, then pulled him over to the bed and sat down with him.
“Get the
rest off Barry” he ordered, pushing up his shirt.
He looked
between the two of us.
“Ain’t got
much time you know. Its only tea break
and I’m supposed to be back top side.”
“You could
have gone for a shit instead and it wouldn’t take any longer, so stop worrying
about it”, said Brian taking control.
In silence
he took off his remaining clothes and threw them on the floor. Once done, Brian pushed him back flat on the
bed and licked at his balls.
“Yep, look
alright to me, taste alright to me”
Barry
watched, then groaned and laid his head back down.
From
licking his balls, he went to take his dick in his mouth and sucked it slowly
from the tip to the root and back again.
I could see Barry’s stomach muscles contract and his chest heave. After a minute, he broke away and turned to
me, a glazed look in his eye that I knew well.
“Mike, get
the fuck over here and lets play.”
I moved to
the bed and watched Brian continue to suck him. Then he lifted off and told me to do it. I took his place and let the fat dick fill
my mouth.
Brian
watched me for a few moments, then got behind and lifted my arse in the
air. He resumed licking, this time over
my arse and jabbing into my hole with his tongue.
Once I was
slicked up, he got on his knees and pushed his dick home quickly. Barry opened his eyes and watched Brian
pound my ass.
I remained
fastened onto his cock, feeling good about taking it at both ends.
Slowly,
Barry sat up, then shifting position, also got to his knees. I kept his cock in my mouth as now he began
to hump too. He leaned over my back to
closely watch Brian do his stuff.
I was
nicely sandwiched between the two of them, both grunting and working their
dicks in and out of my openings. It was
so hot I had to purposely stop thinking about it or I would blow my wad.
“How is it?
Looks great from where I am.” He asked Brian.
“Mike is
always great, he has a hot pussy up there just made for my dick.”
“I think he
has one in his mouth too, this is out of this world.”
“Don’t
worry, you get to try both ends Barry” Brian said haltingly as his thighs
whacked against my bum.
Abruptly he
pulled out and slapped my on my arse.
“Turn over
Mike, let me do you the other way.”
I turned
onto my back, better for not being on my knees too long. Quickly he hoisted my legs onto his shoulder
and re-entered.
“Aaah”
Fucking ace is Mike” he gasped.
Barry was
at one side, but Brian had him sit over my face. He faced Brian, feeding me his slightly deflated cock. But as soon as he got hard again, it
wouldn’t bend to go in my mouth and I couldn’t easily lift my head for long to
try and catch it. I reached to his
thighs and pulled him back onto my face, licking at his balls instead.
Slowly
Brian was shoving me up the bed with his thrusts, so from Barry’s balls I went
to lick behind them. I could hear
Barry’s gasps as my tongue flashed the sensitive area at the back up to his
hole. He bent forward to take hold of
my cock and frigged it haphazardly. I
knew he loved my tongue action for he wriggled around and put his weight down full
on my face. It was difficult to breath,
but I knew it was pleasing him.
Brian’s
swelling cock, which I could feel every millimetre of, told me he was going
over the top. I could hear his grunts,
coming quicker and louder, till he drove in and held it there while he emptied
himself. The hot wash of his juice
swept up through my body sending my mind reeling as I fought for air beneath
Barry.
Brian
pulled out and as I laid there gasping, Barry got off. He grabbed his arm pulling him down the bed.
“Now your
turn, get in there and enjoy yourself.”
Barry made
eye contact and I nodded and smiled back.
He moved in to take Brian’s place and slid inside. The extra fatness of his dick was instantly
transmitted. He was not long so never hit the same depths as Brian, but instead
he gave me that feeling of being stretched.
Nothing between them I thought, both were just as good.
I could see
Brian’s face through Barry’s legs, he was down tonguing his balls and
arse. Barry was going for all he was
worth, alternatively looking straight into my eyes, and then closing them and
throwing back his head for a while.
A minute
later Brian was up at the top of the bed, following Barry by sitting on my
face. He fed me his dick, and I licked and sucked on the taste of his juice,
making him full hard once more. He
reached forward and pinched Barry’s nipples making him moan loudly.
Another
minute later and his dam burst forth and his body shook and spasmed in the
throws of orgasm. It turned Brian on to
watch, for he took out his dick from my mouth and began to jack off fast. As Barry was opening his eyes, Brian came
again, firing it across my face and chest and onto Barry’s stomach.
They fell
across me exhausted. We lay there
unmoving a while till first Brian and then Barry lifted themselves up. I was intoxicated with the tastes and smells
of sweat and cum which hung heavily in the air as well as over my face.
With their
bodies off of me, I desperately reached for my dick to finish myself off, so
close was I to cuming.
“Stop
that!” ordered Brian, and edged down the bed.
“Come on
Barry, got to give him his due, lets milk him dry” he laughed.
Barry edged
down the other side and followed Brian’s moves. My dick entered one mouth then the other. When one was not
speared upon it, they were sucking and licking my balls. Brian pushed some fingers up my hole, so the
whole effect had me firing off in less than a blink of an eye.
Brian
trailed his tongue up the middle of my stomach, licking my juice in his path
till he reached my lips. He kissed me,
duelling with our tongues before breaking away.
“You are
fantastic” he grinned.
“You are
both fantastic”, echoed Barry.
“But sorry,
I really have to go or Charley will have my guts for garters.”
“Take a
shower?” said Brian.
“Wish I
could, but no time. Don’t worry, I will
savour the sweat and sexy smells for the rest of the morning.”
“Okay, see
yah” we said.
“See you
back here for more at lunch time” said Brian grinning.
“Sounds
great, but I’m no superman, I need some time to get my wind back.”
“Just
joking Barry, but you never know, if you get in the mood, this is where we are
and it will be more fun if you’re here too.”
“Okay, let
me think about it,” he laughed, grabbing his pullover and tugging it over his
head as he made his way to the door.
“Thanks
guys, you are really the greatest.”
With Barry
gone, I suddenly felt hungry.
“Come on,
lets get out of this pit and get showered.
Then we have to eat, I’m starved.” I complained.
His fingers
went for my bum hole as he goosed me off the bed, racing for the shower.
Whilst
showering, Brian got on the subject of Barry being with us.
“I got to
tell you, having Barry with us is so fucking hot. Seeing someone having sex with you, it takes all my effort not to
cum on the spot.”
I smiled
and wondered whether to let on one of my own secrets.
“I like it
too, specially when there is a dick in each end, it has the same effect on
me. I had to think about cleaning out
the generator oil sump, if I didn’t want to spoil it by cumming too soon.”
“Yeah, I
know just what you mean. Lucky we have
such a good friend in Barry.”
I agreed,
“I like him, which makes it perfect for him to join in. There is nothing more than fun when he is
with us. He seems to accept it for just
that, no other strings attached. For
me, I wouldn’t mind him joining in more if you and he wanted.”
“You’re
dead right, no problem with Barry. If
he’s game, he can join us anytime. He’s
a bit shy about it, I’ll have to have a word with him and tell him straight, so
he doesn’t misunderstand.”
So that was
settled, Barry wouldn’t come between me and Brian, yet we could have more fun
with him, that is, if he was game.
After we
had lunch, we went topside for a breath of fresh air. It was chilly but invigorating, I guess that might have been
because we didn’t have to work in it.
In the
afternoon, I went to see the Sparks, and find if the agent had brought any mail
on for me. There was three letters, the
first from one of my friends back home, one from Uncle Billy and one with a
U.S. stamp in the corner.
My heart
missed a beat when I realised who it was from.
I tore out of his office and back to my cabin. Ripping open the envelope, I saw the neat hand of Jess on the
page. I couldn’t focus to read at
first, but just held it while I stared at the paper. Finally I pulled myself together and sat on the bed to see what
he had to say.
He told me
he hadn’t broached the subject with Dave yet, but was spending more time with
him than before. Now he knew, he said
Dave dropped a quite a few hints now and again and he was doing his best to
drop a few of his own, without being too obvious. His other big news was that they were both assigned for a stint
on a Puerto Rico naval station. He was
looking forward to it and he thought, being away from the rest of the guys
would enable him to confide more in Dave, plus he wouldn’t have his woman there
either. A couple of photographs were
enclosed too, which I slipped into my wallet.
Finally he spelt out clearly the address for my reply. I vowed to have a letter reading for posting
as soon as I left the ship.
God, what a
great day it had been! And we still had
the night to go.
The End
