Wednesday, October 9 - At sea aboardOcean Wanderer
Rob opened his eyes. He smiled as he realized his arms were wrapped around Ben and he couldn’t believe how good it felt. It was mostly dark in the bedroom, but he could tell it was morning as a bit of light peeked out from between the drapes. He listened to Ben’s even breathing and assumed he must still be asleep.
I’m so lucky I met him. And I’m even luckier that he’s interested in me. He always seems calm and even-tempered. Kinda like the yin to my yang. The way he handled my meltdown, he never got angry or upset. He just listened and took care of me. Ben is exactly what I need. I hope we can continue this...relationship, I guess is the right word. We already agreed we’re boyfriends. I think I’m way over my head already and I don’t think I could stop seeing him if I wanted to.
He breathed contentedly and ran his fingers through Ben’s chest hair. “Good morning, Rob,” Ben said sleepily, then he pushed his ass into Rob’s crotch.
Ben turned over and hugged Rob before kissing him soundly. They were both wearing underwear, but that didn’t stop them from rubbing together a bit as they kissed.
“God, you feel good.” Rob cooed.
“Mmmm, you do too.” Rob’s stomach growled and they both giggled.
“So, breakfast instead of blowjobs, right?” Ben asked, smiling cheekily.
“We don’t really have plans for today, so maybe blowjobs later?” Rob joked. “But yeah, breakfast now, please.”
They cleaned up in record time and decided on the Cove Café for their morning meal as that would be pretty quick. After making their selections, they sat outside and ate bagels and cream cheese, yogurt with fruit and granola, and coffee.
“Feel better?” Ben teased after Rob finished eating.
He groaned, leaned back, and patted his stomach. “Yes, I do. Now, it’s not that I think about food all the time, but would you be interested in going to Neptune’s wine bar later? It opens at four o’clock and we could have some wine and tapas. And then maybe have a late dinner?”
Ben looked at him and chuckled, “I know you don’t think only of food, I believe you think about sexy times, too.”
Rob lowered his eyes and blushed.
“Relax, I’m only teasing you.” Ben said. “And wine and tapas followed by a late dinner sounds wonderful. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m pretty happy doing anything as long as we can be together.”
“I’m glad,” Rob admitted, “because I plan on hanging out with you as much as I can. And now that I’ve eaten, I need to move. C’mon, let’s walk.”
They started out walking around Seaside Cove for a while, but Rob really wanted to pick up the pace a bit, so they headed up to the jogging track. Not that they planned on jogging, but at least there they could walk at a good pace and feel like they were actually exercising.
“I know another way we could get our heart rate up, you know,” Ben offered with a sexy grin.
“Ha! Now who has sexy times on the brain, huh?” teased Rob. “All in good time, my dear. All in good time.”
Twenty minutes later, Ben stopped and looked for a place to sit. “That’s it, I’m done. I’m not as young as I used to be.”
“Hey, I’ve got three years on you, old man!” Rob joked, but he gladly sat as well.
“I’m just saving myself for later,” Ben replied, waggling his eyebrows.
They headed back to Rob’s cabin and Ben collected his stuff. “I don’t have any clean clothes here, and after that little workout I really need another shower. What do you want to do between now and tapas?”
“It’s really nice out. We could relax in the sun and read for a bit and then maybe hit the hot tub in a little while. How does that sound?”
“That sounds wonderful, Rob. I’ll be back in a little while.”
“Bring some extra clothes with you if you’d like,” Rob suggested, his eyes bright. “But no pressure.”
“You’re just full of excellent ideas today, sweetheart.” Ben chuckled warmly.
Rob grinned widely at the endearment. “Hurry back.”

They read and sunbathed for a couple of hours. The day was a bit cooler, but the glass panels surrounding the balcony blocked the worst of the breeze coming off the water, so they were quite comfortable there.
