Tuesday, October 8 - AboardOcean Wanderer, later the same day
Back on the ship, as Ben and Rob walked along the Promenade Deck, Rob said, “I know we agreed to spend time together on the cruise, and so far we’ve been pretty inseparable. But if you need some alone-time, please tell me. You said this trip was a time for you to relax; I’ll give you some space if you want.”
“Are you kidding?” Ben scoffed. “I’m having such a good time hanging out with you. I want to spend all my time with you, if that’s okay.”
Rob was relieved. “Okay, good. Just my way of keeping the lines of communication open. I want to hang out with you, too. Now that we’ve agreed on that, what do you want to do for dinner tonight?”
Ben grinned, looking thoughtful. “I dunno. What are my options?”
“Well, we’ve already eaten at the steakhouse and the Bluefin Bistro. What about Asian? There’s a restaurant called Kaiyo at Seaside Cove. The name means ‘ocean’ by the way. They have a sushi and noodle bar along with a teppanyaki room where they cook at your table.”
“I love teppanyaki, Ben told Rob, “but it seems like a bit too much food for tonight. Lunch was pretty filling. But I would definitely be interested in sushi and perhaps some noodles.”
“That’s perfect, Ben. Let me see if I can make a reservation.”
He pulled up the ship’s app on his phone but apparently could only make a reservation for himself since he was the only guest registered in his cabin. He told Ben he couldn’t do it in the app and they walked over to the Guest Services desk, since they were heading in that direction anyway. He explained the situation to Roberto, who was assisting him. Roberto called Kaiyo and was able to make a reservation for the two of them for eight-thirty that evening.
They went to Ben’s cabin and talked about what to do next. It was almost four-thirty, so they had plenty of time before their reservation.
“I think I’d like to take a short nap,” Rob said. He paused, hoping what he said next would sound light and a bit playful. “Would you like to come to my suite and take a nap with me?” He smiled shyly at Ben.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah. I was thinking you could bring a change of clothes with you. We can nap and then freshen up and change before dinner. And we’ll probably have time if you wanted to get a drink at the Suite Lounge before dinner, too.”
Ben smiled, making Rob’s stomach flutter with excitement. “That sounds wonderful. Let me put a few things together.”
As Ben quickly tossed a few items into his backpack, Rob’s heart raced. He was nervous—this is my first time since Alan—but the nerves were from excitement, not fear. He wanted this… desperately.
“Okay, I’m ready.”
When they got to his suite, Rob took the hangers from Ben and hung them in his closet. He set an alarm on his phone for six-thirty and placed it on the nightstand.
Toeing off his sneakers, he took off his shirt and jeans. Ben smiled, obviously enjoying the view.
“Are you going to join me?” Rob teased.
Ben quickly undressed and they slid under the covers. Ben looked into Rob’s eyes, “I don’t want you to do anything you’re not comfortable with, Rob. You take the lead and I’ll follow.”
Rob moved closer, hugging him. When their chests touched, Rob sighed.Oh my God, I’ve missed this feeling so much.“You feel so good.”
Rob claimed his mouth, running his tongue along Ben’s lips and pressing forward. Ben opened to him and they kissed long and hard, taking turns probing and sucking. Rob’s hands glided down Ben’s back. When he reached the waistband of Ben’s briefs, he slipped one hand in, cupping Ben’s ass cheek and squeezing lightly. He moaned into Ben’s mouth.
Ben followed suit, dipping both hands into Rob’s underwear, massaging his ass and pulling him closer. They were both rock hard and Ben could feel his cock leaking.
Rob reached down and touched Ben’s cock through his shorts. Ben whimpered and Rob could feel the head of Ben’s cock poke up from the waistband. He swiped his thumb over the slit and shuddered at the feel of precum leaking out.
He brought his thumb up to his mouth and licked it.
“Oh fuck,” Ben sighed. “I need to taste you. Please?”
Rob nodded as Ben lowered the covers and slid down, kissing Rob’s chest, teasing a nipple and working his way down. He tongued Rob’s navel and continued lower. He mouthed Rob’s cock through his briefs and then grasped the waistband and lowered them. Rob’s cock popped out and slapped his belly. His cock was long and not too thick, a good six inches.
Ben licked up the length and sucked in the head, swirling his tongue around the crown of Rob’s cock.
“Slow down or this is gonna be over way too quick,” Rob panted. “Fuck, please!’ he pleaded.
Ben backed off and let Rob catch his breath. When Rob’s breathing slowed a bit, Ben took Rob’s cock all the way to the back of his throat, his nose buried in Rob’s pubic hair. He pulled off, then moved back up to kiss Rob deeply.
