Sally’s Honeymoon: Book 4 Of A Contemporary Romance Short Story Series (4 page)

“The game is on!”
Stefan gleefully thought to himself as he made his way to his own room, rubbing his hands in anticipation of the challenge to hook this particular fish. It was seldom that he got this kind of opportunity so early in the game, and he was determined to make the most of it.

*****

By the time
Sally and Robert had explored the massive ship; and sampled several drinks in the bars; it was time to get dressed for the evening meal. Tonight was marked as ‘smart casual,’ in the newsletter they found on the dressing table; which meant a light jacket with shirt and Tie for the men, and a casual dress for the ladies. Jeans, T-shirts or shorts were never allowed in the formal restaurants – no matter what the occasion. For less formal dining however, there were the self-service restaurants where the food and surroundings were still excellent

Robert closed the door of the room and stood behind Sally, nuzzling her neck.

“How about it wife! Fancy a quickie before the evening meal?” He said as his hands slipped up the front of her blouse, under her brassiere and cupped her naked breasts; kneading them softly.

“Ah, the last of the great romantics!
Trust a man to talk of a ‘quickie’ on our honeymoon!” Sally said, making no move to remove his hands.

“Seriously though dearest – wouldn’t you like to wait till later? We could have an early night, and I could dress for the part.” She whispered seductively into his ear.

“Hmm, I’m tempted for sure. However I would remind you that this is our third night married this evening – and we still haven’t consummated the wedding; since you were paranoid that Rosemary and Derek would hear you!”

“Say’s you – conveniently forgetting the drunken debacle of our wedding night!” Sally playfully retorted.

“Hmm, ok you’ve got me there. However let me just say that; do you really want a sexually charged Tyrannosaurus Rex like me to accompany you to dinner? What if there is some half naked dolly-bird sitting opposite – I might not be able to contain myself!”

“Ha
ha, you should be so lucky! Ok I give in – but only under duress you understand!”

In what seemed like a blur – b
elying her vocal reluctance - Sally stripped naked and stood in all her glory before an appreciative Robert. He soaked in the vision before him, as she did a comical pirouette; highlighting her near-perfect figure. With a crowning head of wavy blond hair, that cascaded over her full breasts, capped with nipples erect from his earlier fondling; and a slim flat belly highlighting a waspish waist; Sally presented a picture of sexual desire that was guaranteed to send any man crazy with longing.  

“Well master – do I meet with
your  approval?” She said teasingly, as she fondled the objects of his desire; lightly tweaking her nipples to make them stand firm and erect.

Robert wasted no time in removing his own clothes, to reveal a body muscled from hard work on the highland estate. Broad chested, with a ‘six pack’ stomach of rip-cord muscle; He easily picked up Sally and threw her screaming and giggling onto the bed.

Their love-making was intense and yet gentle; as they both acknowledged the romance of the moment. As newlyweds; their first act of consummation was on a romantic cruise headed for the Mediterranean. Sally thought that it was possibly the best moment of her life so far; and thanked God again for the circumstances that had brought them together.

Robert groaned as Sally told him to “Get a move on.” It was time to get showered and ready for the evening meal.

“Come on Robert – you’ve got 15 minutes!”

“
Phew..I’m exhausted now!” He said, only half in jest.

“Ha…so much for my ‘Sexual T-Rex.’
I’m about ready for another round!” She said jokingly to a wide-eyed Robert.

“Woman
have mercy! I’m off to the shower before I get accosted!”

They were in fact just a minute early for the evening meal; as was evident by the line of people that snaked all the way up the stairs from the dining hall. Robert groaned; he hated waiting in queues of any kind
, and for any purpose.

“Robert, behave yourself; what do you expect in a ship with over 3,500 passengers!” Sally said exasperated.

“Yea I know Sally; I just hope it’s not like this every night!”

Sally gave him a light nudge, as the line started moving and they were soon being seated at a large round table that already had one other couple, but was set to accommodate ten guests in total. They were in fact the first to arrive, but were soon joined by the other guests who seemed to be a collection
of mainly retired individuals – with the exception of two, Robert noted.

One was a startlingly attractive girl in her mid-twenties, who enjoyed showing off her bosoms to full effect; and the other was a man in his early forties
.

Polite muted conversation followed as introductions were made, and people assessed their table companions for the duration of the cruise.
Robert was stunned to find out that the girl with the ample breasts – and who sat on his right side – was in fact the wife of the elderly man he presumed was her father. Eight of the guests were couples and two were single, including the man in his forties; who Robert took an immediate dislike to.

“Thank the
Lord, that at least he is at the furthest place away from me at any rate.” He thought to himself, not quite sure why he had taken such an aversion to the man.

Sally had of course spotted the busty girl, called Melanie, and was not pleased with the fact that she was placed on the opposite side of Robert.

“If he turns his head sideways; he’s going to see what she’s had for breakfast!”
She fumed silently to herself, as Melanie caught the attention of every male at the table.

Robert himself was not immune to her obvious charms, especially as she seemed to be taking a keen interest in
himself.

“So Robert.”
Melanie spoke with a quiet husky voice, of a woman at ease with an audience. “You are on your honeymoon with your charming young wife! How romantic for you both.” She flashed her dark eyes at Robert, whilst nodding easily to Sally on his opposite side. Just as Sally feared would happen; her breasts bulged out even more as she twisted slightly in the seat to speak to Robert. Infuriatingly she could see that Melanie had his full attention.

“Unbelievable!”
She thought to herself.
“A quick flash of her tits, and his blessed tongue is hanging out like a hound dog!”

Stefan mean
while, sitting opposite; could not help but admire the vision before him. Robert it seems was the luckiest man at the table, having a gorgeous blonde on one side; and an equally gorgeous brunette on the other. Both girls were well endowed in the breast department; though he suspected the brunette - who enjoyed having hers on display it seemed – was no stranger to the plastic surgeon. He was also quite amused to see, that Roberts wife did not seem to see the funny side of the seating arrangement.
“Well now, this does promise to be a very entertaining table. With the chemistry going on between those three, …”
He let his thoughts wander, as the conversation gathered pace and the menus were handed around.

Before he had left Shirley at her room, he had politely asked if she would like to share the same table at the evening meal sessions;
unfortunately however she had made prior arrangements. With the pre-dinner cocktails arranged however, he was more than satisfied he had Shirley ‘on the hook,’ everything was going nicely to plan. For Sally however, storm-clouds were on the horizon as Melanie brought her charms to bear on an unsuspecting Robert.

The fact
was, that Melanie was in an unsatisfying marriage; for her at any rate. Her husband John had made a fortune selling an online insurance company, and now wanted something attractive to hang on his arm. At 72 years old he was  46 years her senior; which was enough of an age-gap to attract some withering comments – especially from other females. Melanie herself was the first to admit that she was ‘not the sharpest knife in the drawer’ when it came to brains. However, she was smart enough to know how to utilise the superb figure that she had been blessed with – albeit with a few enhancements - to catch someone who could keep her In a style to which she would like to become accustomed. The age gap was an added bonus as far as she was concerned; after all, she reasoned, he could not last for much longer and she would be the sole beneficiary of his substantial fortune.

It was simply put, a marriage of convenience. John had the financial wherewithal and
She had the looks. There was only one thing wrong with this superb arrangement – sex was in short supply as John was all but impotent. Melanie on the other hand was a something of a nymphomaniac, and enjoyed sex just as often as she could get it. Fortunately for her, John did not mind her antics with other men, as long as she was discreet and came home to him at night. She did not have a problem with that compromise; sex was there for the taking if you were as attractive as she was – money and a millionaire lifestyle however, was a sight harder to obtain.

*****

Sally was seething inside, as they made their way back to their suite after the meal. It wasn’t just the fact that Robert had given Melanie so much
attention, that bothered her; it was the fact that it was the very first day of their honeymoon cruise.
“The last thing he should be looking at, is another woman’s breasts!”
she thought to herself.
“Maybe I’m just being unreasonable, after all, if the woman spoke to him he could hardly help looking at her tits, being as they were on full display!”

“Are you ok Sally? Didn’t you enjoy the meal?” Robert spoke out slightly concerned at the silence.

“Eh..Oh, yes Robert I’m just fine; just a little distracted that’s all.”

“
Ok..What did you think of our table companions then? – I thought they were quite interesting; though I’m not sure about that guy opposite…Stefan was it?”

“Yes
they seemed ok, although I’m surprised you even noticed, as your eyes seemed to be elsewhere for most of the meal!”
Blast it!
She kicked herself for being so obvious.

“What
?…Ah so this is what the silence is all about!” He chuckled, serving to irritate Sally even further.

She turned on him as they entered their cabin.

“Don’t you ‘what’ me, you swine! I’ll bet you cannot even tell me what colour her eyes are, since yours were gazing at her cleavage most of the evening!” She stopped to take a deep breath, realising that she was in danger of completely losing the plot, and having a full-blown fight.

Robert too, realised that he was on dangerous ground, and decided on a gentler tone.

“Sally…Please you have it all wrong, honest. Why on earth would I want to settle for cheap hamburger, when I have prime steak at home?” He wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her gently on the neck. “I’m sorry honey, you know that I would not do anything to hurt you at all – especially here on our honeymoon! Do you forgive me…please please please?”

Sally felt her resolve melting away, as he held her in his arms and smothered her with kisses.

“Ok Robert….but you are on probation – one wrong step and you’re in a whole world of pain!” She said laughingly as she settled down again.

“You must admit though.”
Said Robert with a cheeky grin as he felt the atmosphere lighten. “She did have great boobs!” He quickly jumped into the small toilet cubicle, and locked the door before Sally could get a grip on him.

“YOU!”
Was all she could say, as she saw her ‘brave man’ leap out of her clutches. Thankfully for Roberts sake, she did see the funny side of it; and before long they were getting ready for the late night show, and a few drinks in one of the many bars.

It was just as they were headed through the busy promenade deck, that they bumped into two familiar faces. Raymond and Margaret were headed for the same show as it turned out, and seemed pleased to see them.

“So how are you enjoying the cruise experience so far?” Margaret asked.

“Well the ship is quite unbelievable I have to say, it’s so big in fact I’m really surprised to see you again!” Sally laughed.

“And what about your first meal?
I often find that a lot rests on the company at the table. If you have good friendly company, it can be quite fun to discuss the different trips that people have gone on.” Margaret continued enthusiastically.

“Oh yes…we had some good friendly company at our table all right – didn’t we dearest?” She said sweetly to
Robert, who caught just the slightest edge to her voice.

He thought about teasing Sally again – then thought better off it, remembering her stern warning earlier. “Yes indeed, it is a good mix of people, and they all seem very friendly!” He looked sideways at Sally as he continued. “Though there is one guy who I’m not too sure about yet – he seems a little out of place somehow.”

“Oh Robert.” Sally said exasperated. “You know nothing about him yet; give him a chance – he might surprise you!”
