How did you get this number?
You
I thought you’d have realised I have my ways. Are you mad?

My lip hurts withhow hard I bit it this morning, trying desperately to keep myself quiet as I came. On River’s orders, I had sweet dreams, mainly of her doing sinful things to my body. I woke up soaking wet and halfway to an orgasm, so what was I supposed to do? Relieve the tension, of course.
Getting myself off on a ship isn’t the weirdest place I’ve masturbated, but it’s probably the most public. In that the walls are thin, and I’m constantly surrounded by people. Even in my quarters, I feel the crew’s presence keenly.
The thought of being overheard wasn’t enough to stop my hand drifting below the waistband of my sleep shorts, though. Not when my mind had spent the past eight hours picturing River’s face between my legs. Hell, thedream was so vivid, I swear I woke up being able to feel her lips and fingertips all over my hot skin.
She renders me a mess. I’m the one who put caveats in our dating deal, and I’m ready to cave after just a couple of days. However, it’s not out of pure lust. I’ve seen a side of River that calls to me on a deeper level. I’ve listened to her joke about with her friends, me included. I’ve watched her work with a professionalism and passion which was close to breathtaking. She’s opened up to me and shared trauma, which I know she finds hard to talk about, even with her best friends. River is so much more than I bargained for, and my body is responding to her…viscerally.
I ache to feel her against me, to feel her heart beating with mine as we melt into each other. I just hope that when it happens River feels as strongly as I do. I don’t know if sex with her again will yield anything different for her from the first time we slept together. I know it will for me, because—frighteningly—my heart is very much involved, and that means I’ll enjoy sex so much more.
It took two orgasms to—somewhat—satisfy me enough to get out of bed. I want to rush to her cabin, climb in her bunk and stay there for the day. As much as this foray into my father’s world has been pleasantly surprising, I’d killto be on land and near a bed right now. Does River feel the same?
I’ve just returned from the shower room when my phone buzzes on my bedside table. Hope flares in me that it’s River. A smile which makes my face ache blooms at the message waiting on my lock screen.
Sexy Sailor
Good morning, beautiful. Did you sleep well?
You
Very well! My dreams were extremely pleasant.
Sexy Sailor
That good, huh? Do tell, I’m eager to hear all about it.
Damn, I’m getting wet again.
You
Let’s just say it ended well…twice.
Sexy Sailor
Damn, Cleo, I was trying to keep it to mild flirting, but now I want to…
Oh please, finish that sentence.
