Chapter 19

I felt the warmth of sunlight on my face coming through the small porthole in our cabin. The moment I did I popped open my eyes sitting up.

"Oh good! You're up! I was just coming to get you!" Bella said. She was standing in the doorway of the cabin ... naked. "What?" She then asked looking at me. She looked down at herself searching for something, then back at me again. "What?" She said again. "Jesus David, you look like you've seen a ghost! What's wrong?"

"Nothing," I said finally finding my voice, staring at her. I wondered for a moment if she was a ghost ... standing there. Maybe I was on some sort of a ghost ship. But as the cobwebs finally cleared away, I realized I had only been dreaming. It had seemed real enough, but thankfully it was only a dream. Even then I asked. "Mom? Dad?" Bella was still staring at me curiously.

"Your mom's starting to fix us something for breakfast, your dad's getting ready to get underway," she added just as the engines started up, punctuating her statement. "See? Anyway ... he told me to come down and get you so you could help him stow things away and get ready to get underway again."

"Was ... was there a storm, or anything last night?"

"Only in your mind maybe," she chuckled. "You were snoring awfully loud for one thing, but for another, you were talking in your sleep too. I couldn't quite hear or understand anything ... but you certainly didn't sleep very sound, though I sure as hell did. Even slept a bit longer than I usually do too because of it. Your dad was right ... best sleep I've had in a long, long time."

"Why are you ... naked?" I asked still trying to fit together the pieces of my confusion here. Though very much relieved that things were obviously just fine. Though I was again wondering if I was talking to the undead here or something. For some reason, that honestly wouldn't have surprised me.

She laughed. "Because I still managed to fit in my morning run, running around the ship, which your dad certainly seemed to enjoy while I did so. He was sitting out on the deck watching me run, and I'm pretty sure I could see his hand moving ... a lot," she grinned. "Now come on ... breakfast will soon be ready, and like I said, your dad's waiting for you to come up and help him."

Bella turned heading back up the stairs topside as I continued to sit there, shaking, glad she hadn't seen me doing so. The dream had seemed so real ... too real. Though I should have known better. For one, dad would NEVER put to sea if there was even a hint of a possible storm for one thing. He'd always been very meticulous about that. Checking and double-checking the weather reports. Had we had any possible inclement weather, we'd have stayed at the berth for the night. Secondly, I also thought it odd now remembering the dream. Even though they were all missing ... I remembered my panic, my true fear mostly directed at Bella herself. Even with mom and dad missing, I somehow knew that was ok, weirdly enough. Though I couldn't see them, find them ... they weren't the focus of my fears and concern, not really anyway. It was Bella. And that made me wonder even more. The inevitable was still a few months away, but I knew, somehow knew that the storm I was dealing with inside was getting worse and worse. I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to accept her disappearing from my life, going back to her own life at some point where I knew that once she had, I would most likely never see her again.

That was a nightmare I didn't want to have to deal with. Last night's was bad enough. I crawled out of bed, realizing I too was still naked, though noticing something else when I did. Somehow, someway, Bella had written something on me ... with lipstick, specifically on my dick. I had a hard time making out what she'd almost magically, and mysteriously written. I actually had to stretch out my very flaccid cock in order to make it out. When I did ... I felt shivers once again race up and down my spine. She had written, "Sweet dreams baby ... B!"

Having finally calmed down, I climbed up the ladder towards the main deck. Though slightly surprised perhaps, though I was starting to get used to it, Bella and mom were in the small galley fixing us something to eat. Mom too was naked. I gave her a brief quick kiss on the cheek and then headed off to find dad taking him a cup of coffee along with one for myself. Finding him however, was a surprise. He was naked too, sitting in his Captains chair steering the boat on its course heading home. I knew then that Bella had probably been right about seeing him earlier as he watched her taking her morning jog around the deck.

I was the only one wearing swim trunks.

Mom and Bella soon joined us, bringing up breakfast, setting everything out on the table so we could eat.

She looked at me, though more specifically at my swimwear. "You going to ah ... join us?" She asked. Even mom and dad were looking at me curiously. I shrugged grabbing the waistband of my trunks and yanked them down, kicking them off.

"What the hell ... why not?" Everyone was still staring at me though. I looked down only then realizing the red lipstick.

"Get my message?" Bella laughed.

I was blushing, but I answered. "I believe I did ... yes."

We finished up with breakfast and I began helping the girls clean up and put everything away again when dad announced we'd reached the twelve mile limit.

"What's that?" Bella asked.

"We're officially in International waters now," I told her.

"And what does that mean?" She asked, though dad answered her before I could.

"Basically, it means as Captain of this ship ... I could officially marry you two," dad quipped though he said it only as a joke and not being serious. For a moment though, Bella's eyes grew wide looking at him.

"You're kidding right? You could really do that?"

"Maybe," dad responded back now realizing he perhaps shouldn't have said that, especially seeing the look on my face. "What it does mean though ... we're no longer governed by the laws of the land," he said..."or more specifically the States being out this far."

"So no rules?"

"Well rules yes ... just different rules, especially way out here," he added.

"Any rules about giving someone a blow job out on deck?" She then asked. Dad laughed.

"Not as far as I know there isn't," he grinned..."Or anything else along those lines either for that matter. Where is your mother anyway?"

"I'll send her back," I told him as Bella proceeded to pull me by the arm aft again, back out onto the sun deck. Though early, the sun was well up almost blinding.

"Here, lay down, make yourself comfortable, and relax. You're all tensed up for some reason."

I was, still not able to fully shake off the weird strange dream I had had. Bella placed several cushions beneath me, propping my head up, though the sun was still far too bright forcing me to squint.

"I have an idea," Bella giggled. "And besides helping you keep the sun out of your eyes, it will also help you to just lay back, relax ... and enjoy this. I don't want you thinking about anything else except for this," she informed me. "Now ... just lay here, I'll be right back." She had placed a folded towel over my eyes, effectively blocking the sun out. I felt her return moments later, securing then what felt like a small length of rope over the towel, further securing it so that it couldn't be removed.

"What are you doing?"

"Shh, no talking. Now just lay there, relax ... and enjoy this. I'm going to give you some obvious ... much needed, tension relief."

"Right here? Out in the open like this?" I asked laughing though quite excited at the prospect of letting her do this to me, laying out on the open deck as we were. Though the prospect of anyone coming close enough to see us was remote, it was the thought of it happening that suddenly seemed to heighten my arousal to some extent.

"No rules out here ... remember? Now shush ... no more talking or I won't let you enjoy this," she added. I heard her move away briefly grabbing some more pillows, tossing a couple down beside me. Seconds after that I felt her soft, warm hand as she began stroking and massaging my cock to instant hardness. Moments after that, I felt her sensual lips suddenly sliding down over my shaft as she began sucking it. It felt heavenly. And especially as she was in no real hurry here either, taking her time, teasingly so as she began giving me probably the best blowjob I had ever had. I gave myself over to it, simply concentrating on the pure ecstasy I was feeling, the sensuality of her lips and tongue as she licked, nibbled, tickled at times, but constantly and continually aroused me to greater and greater heights of pleasure. When my orgasm eventually did come ... I knew it was going to be a monster. But I was in no hurry for that to happen either. We were still miles and miles out from reaching home, and all I wanted to do right now was forget everything, and simply enjoy this amazing blowjob she was giving me.

It went on forever, or so it seemed anyway. But it was just what the doctor ordered too. And I was also right about the other thing as well. When I came, it was explosive, in more ways than one. Not only did I see stars inside my head, but I was damn sure that the copious amount of my pleasurable eruption damn near drowned her, hearing her gasp, almost gag ... choke, and yet continue to swallow me down, obviously taken a little bit off guard and by surprise at the voluminous amount of cum-cream spurting out of my dick as I filled her mouth.

"Fuck!" I finally managed to say long moments afterwards, drained ... satiated, and well pleased as I heard her moving away. "So ... can I take off the blind fold now?" I asked.

"Of course, but careful of your eyes when you do, it's really bright out here this morning," Bella advised me.

She was right, it took a moment for my eyes to adjust after doing that, squinting once again, but I was also a bit stunned to see both mom and Bella now sitting there in deck chairs looking down at me.

"Jesus ... mom? You ... watched her doing that to me?" I asked.

She just smiled pleasantly for a moment. "Thought I'd play look-out, make sure we weren't boarded by any naked female pirates that might try to take the ship and ravish you," she stated trying to appear serious.

"Ah huh," I said looking over towards Bella who was trying very hard to keep a smile from appearing on her face.

"Anyway ... you should probably go in and relieve your father for a spell. Send him back out here in fact, I'm sure he could use a bit of tension relief himself right about now, though according to Bella, he was doing that a little earlier," she shared with me grinning over that.

Once again I shook my head, stood on still unsteady feet and began making my way back inside heading towards the pilothouse again.

"I liked the rope idea over the towel," mom said just before I passed out of earshot. "Let's do that to Harold as well when he comes out here."

I relieved dad, sending him out back with a small warning. "You're presence has been requested aft," I told him. "But beware, it's very possible that we've been boarded by naked female pirates disguised as mom and Bella. Especially if you feel something a bit different or unusual walking your plank."

He looked at me oddly.

"Never mind ... bad joke, just trying to be funny. But they're out there waiting for you. Enjoy yourself. I certainly did."

I took over the wheel keeping us on course heading for home. "International waters huh? No rules?" I wondered.

As it turned out, I was glad we had managed to enjoy a fun, naughty weekend together. It would be a while before we actually did anything even remotely like that again. With Bella returning to school the following week, things suddenly changed dramatically. If I thought Bella was here simply for fun and games, or just needing to get away from her family for a while, I was sadly mistaken. She approached her classes, studies with the same intensity and passion that she did when we were having sex. I realized then she had that same fire, same head for business that merely proved to me, her father had been right. Bella really was the only person who could conceivably take over the business, keep it going ... prospering perhaps even more than it already was. Bella was intelligent, diligent, and way too hard on herself in many respects. She wasn't perfect, far from it. But if she got anything less than an "A" on an exam or paper submitted, she almost seemed to take it personally. On nights when she needed to study, she basically locked herself away inside her room. Irene usually sent a tray up to her so she'd at least eat something when she didn't join us for dinner downstairs. But this sudden unexpected change in Bella after she started going back to school again was totally and completely unexpected.

It was usually only on the weekends that I saw the old familiar Bella re-emerge again, and if anything ... when she did, she was usually even more horny than she'd normally been. It was like seeing a bear coming out of hibernation. Come Friday night, Bella was ravenous! So much so, that she would very often wear me out, the two of us having sex together for long hours at a time. And at times, it almost didn't matter where it was either. Once the urge hit her again, it could be anywhere, and most often was. Doreen had in fact had to step around us once carrying up a load of clean laundry up the stairs. Bella had all but tackled me as we'd been heading up, now sitting on me, fucking me ... right there on the stairway as Doreen passed by us. Looking on almost wishfully. Another oddity in a sense. So far ... we'd kept most everything between the two of us, Bella hadn't even shown any signs or interest in involving anyone else, or contacting anyone we'd previously been with either. And then Monday would come, and the other Bella would suddenly return again, locking herself away inside her room for long hours at a time while she studied, almost ignoring me and everyone else while she did so.
