Seduction of Steel: The Complete Series (8 page)

They continued walking and talked about work and the various ports they'd seen and which ones they hoped to visit next.   Jessica did most of the talking, as she was in a chatty mood. Ryan, tired as he was, just went ahead and let her talk.  Jessica couldn't get over how good Ryan looked in a bathing suit.  He had amazing six-pack abs and a smooth, hairless chest.  That little bit of stubble was just icing on the cake as far as she was concerned.

“I enjoyed growing up in St. Louis”, she said, “but I have to admit that I just love coming here.  I'd love to have a winter home here in the Caymans, but it's ridiculously expensive.  Perhaps one day...”

“It is nice.  It's a shame we're only here for a few hours at a time.  Still, anything beats those Pittsburgh winters.  This is great.”

Jessica noticed that she was starting to burn a bit, and suggested that they return to the cabana.  The cabana was small, but was covered and could be closed completely in order to change in or out of a bathing suit.  There were two padded lounge chairs inside.

Ryan entered first, with Jessica trailing behind.  She closed the door flap behind her as she entered.   As she approached him, he put his arms around her and pressed his lips against hers.  As before, she began to tremble slightly at the touch of his lips.  She ran her hand through his hair as he explored her mouth with his tongue.  As their tongues met, Jessica thought,
Don't let this stop
.

They continued to kiss and he touched her cheek with his right hand.  She quivered with his every touch, surprised that she would respond so strongly to the touch of a finger. He played with her breasts through her bikini.  Her nipples began to stiffen, and she knew that she would soon be wet.

His tight bathing trunks did little to conceal his growing firmness.  Jessica ran her hand over his sizable erection.

“Please”, she said.  “Let me take care of you.”

She pulled open the Velcro fly of his swimming trunks and pulled his erect manhood free.  Soon she had it in her mouth, and she slid her tongue around his shaft.  His girth was substantial.  She hoped she wouldn't embarrass herself by gagging.  She wasn't inexperienced at oral sex by any means, but she'd never had to handle equipment this large.

Jessica enjoyed the sensation of licking and sucking Ryan as he moved his hips gently forward and backwards.  She loved the fact that she could cause this handsome man to moan with pleasure. 

“That feels wonderful”, he said softly.

“I'd like you to come in my mouth”, she said in reply.  “I want to taste you.”  She took him deeper into her mouth and began to suck faster, while forming a ring with her thumb and index finger.  She worked it around his shaft while sucking.  Ryan moaned a little more loudly.

“That's sweet, but I think I want to fuck you, right here and right now”, he said.  “Here.  Lie down on the chair.”  Jessica shook with pleasure at hearing the eagerness in his words.

He took one of the lounge chairs and adjusted it so that it was lying flat.

Jessica removed her bikini and got on her back on the padded chair.  “Please make love to me.  I need you inside me now.”

Ryan removed his trunks and kissed her lips.  She took his tongue eagerly and did her best to let him know that she was his to do with as he pleased.  He continued the kissing, first to her breasts and then he offered several kisses to her stomach before moving lower to that soft, wet mound of flesh between her legs.

She spread her legs slightly as his tongue moved in and out.  Jessica squirmed as Ryan continued to lick and gently suck, tasting her flowing juices.

“I'm so wet.  Please don't stop”, she said.  Ryan's skilled tongue brought her close to an orgasm, but she wasn't ready for that yet.  It took all the strength she could muster to
not
come at that very moment.  An orgasm right now would be amazing, but she wanted more. She wanted to feel him inside her.  She wanted to feel his fullness as it stretched her aching pussy to its limit.

Ryan stood up and stroked his cock a few times to maintain his erection while he applied a condom. 

He was gentle, and entered her slowly, only penetrating an inch or two for the first few strokes. He teased her by slowly entering and pulling out.

“I want all of you”, she moaned in desperation.  Ryan was driving Jessica wild with his teasing.  She wanted to feel his manhood within her and she wanted it
now.

He quickly yielded to her request.  With one smooth thrust, Ryan pushed all of himself into her.  As he did so, Jessica experienced the closest thing she had ever known to complete bliss and satisfaction as his cock seemed to touch every nerve within her.  With each of his strokes, she came closer and closer to coming, and she knew this orgasm was going to be tremendous.

As his thrusts quickened, Jessica tightened her legs, hoping to hold him inside. 

I'd like to hold him inside forever
, she thought.
This is as good as it gets.

Ryan nibbled on her right ear, causing Jessica to have an orgasm that hit her like an earthquake.  She shook almost uncontrollably as wave after wave of carnal bliss washed over her like the Cayman surf outside the cabana.

Ryan came a few seconds later, and she hugged him tightly as his body tensed from his own powerful orgasm. They were both dripping with sweat as they returned to reality.

Ryan and Jessica spent the next few minutes on the lounge chair, as he caressed her face and hair.  “You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.”

Jessica wondered if anything could possibly be better than this.  She thought she was pretty enough, but no one had ever called her that.  She ran her hands over Ryan's toned pecs and wished they could just stay there on the beach forever.

Of course, they could not.  The ship had to leave, the passengers needed to be accommodated, and Ryan and Jessica needed to do their jobs.  The time spent on the beach was nice, but that meant that they both needed to put in some time in their respective departments later that day.

Cruises are for passengers, and the stops along the way are the entire point of the cruise.  For crew members, the stops are a nice occasional perk of the job.  But the job comes first.

They got dressed, gathered their things and made their way back to town to catch the tender back to the ship.  The last tender to the ship was leaving in about fifteen minutes, and they didn't want to miss it, as the ship was going to pull anchor and leave within the hour.

They approached the dock and stood in line to catch the tender.  Lots of people tend to linger on shore a bit longer than they should, so the last few tenders are often fairly full.

“I've got to put in about six hours at the Passenger Services desk tonight. I'll be off around eleven. Want to catch a drink afterwards?”, Jessica asked.

“Sure. I've got to put in some time myself, but I should be free anytime after ten.  How about if I meet you at eleven thirty at the crew bar?”

“That will be great”, Jessica replied.  She thought that would be a great time to put on that cute pink dress she'd bought earlier today.  While she rarely thought of herself as a great beauty, she was pretty sure that seeing her in that dress would knock Ryan's eyes out.  The thought of Ryan getting excited got her excited, too.

The line continued to move slowly, and they made small talk.  Just then, a cell phone rang.  It was Ryan's.  He looked at the phone, stepped out of the line and said, “I have to take this call while I'm still on shore.  You go ahead.  I'll meet you later.”

Right then, the queue moved quite a bit, as the last tender had just arrived.   A harbor employee was frantically trying to get everyone on board.  Jessica looked back and saw Ryan having a rather animated conversation on his phone, and she grew concerned.

This is the last tender.  He's going to miss it!

The tender began the trip back to the
Ocean Enchantment
with Jessica onboard and Ryan still on shore.  She looked back at him in panic, wondering how he was going to find his way back to the ship, which was leaving port within the hour.

He was gone.

Chapter 7

Jessica put in her time at the Passenger Services desk that evening, but she couldn't keep her mind on her work.  She'd get distracted, and the passengers were obviously becoming a bit short tempered with her, as she couldn't remember what she was supposed to be doing for more than a few seconds at a time.

What was that phone call all about?  Did Ryan get back to the ship?

“Miss....Miss.  Hello!  You were trying to cash a traveler's check for me, remember?”

“Oh, I'm sorry.  Yes, let me take care of that for you.  Where is the signed check?”

“You're holding it in your hand!”

It went like that for the entirety of Jessica's shift, as she was clearly preoccupied.  Eleven o'clock couldn't come soon enough.

But come it did, and she quickly ran downstairs to her room to get dressed.   After all, Ryan
did
say that he'd be along and that he'd meet her, and she didn't want to show up in that dull khaki skirt and white blouse uniform.  She put on that adorable pink dress and a cute pair of Steve Madden wedge sandals that she'd been saving to wear on a special occasion.  She touched up her makeup and put on a bit of her favorite perfume, a scent called
Lovely
. 

She
really
wanted to make an impression on Ryan tonight.

They'd agreed to meet at the crew bar and she was there at eleven thirty, right on schedule.

Ryan was nowhere to be found.  She waited for an hour, and he never did arrive.  She began to grow more concerned.  The ship had long since left port; they must be a hundred miles from the Caymans by now.

What happened to Ryan?
She needed to find out.  But how?  She'd never been to his cabin and didn't know even know the name of his roommate.

There wasn't much she could do tonight; she'd had a long day and needed to work early tomorrow.  She went back to her room and checked her email, hoping to see some sort of message from Ryan. Nothing.

Jessica went to bed crying and spent a fitful night trying to sleep.

-------------------------------------------
             
             

At 6 AM, Jessica was awakened by a pounding on her door.  She quickly threw on a robe and opened the door slowly.  Outside stood two members of the ship security team.

“Jessica Steel?”, asked a burly man security man with a mustache.

“Yes.”

“Could you come with us, please?”  He didn't seem to be particularly friendly.  Then again, ship security is serious business, and the cruise line didn't hire these people for their congeniality.  Besides, nobody is friendly at 6 AM.

“What is this about?”

“Please get dressed and come with us.”

She quickly threw on some jeans and a T-shirt, put her hair in a ponytail and followed them to the security office.

The office fairly small and had a couple of desks, two computer terminals, and a small holding cell in the corner for the occasional criminal.  There are rarely problems with violent crimes on cruise ships, but it's better to have an available cell than not, just in case.  There were a couple of portholes to let in a bit of early morning light, but on the whole, the office wasn't particularly attractive.  It was just a place to conduct business.

The burly man held out a photograph.  “Do you know this man?”, he asked.

It was a photo of Ryan.  Jessica's heart began to race.

“Yes!  That's Ryan Stevens!  He got left on shore in Grand Cayman.  Did he make it back to the ship?”
