"Yeah, you only saw the entry area," Isaac said with a laugh. "We're easily distracted today. Usually, we're better than this at tours."
"Come on, let's finish this tour then," Oaks prompted, taking my hand again.
To me the boat was a maze. The Sulleys managed to navigate it like professionals. It was their home after all.
That fact alone was insane to me.
We finally ended up on the sun deck. There were several large sectionals and small tables. A giant hot tub took up a majority of the area. I didn't think it would fit all nine of us, but at least a majority.
There also seemed to be a bar everywhere I turned. All of which were fully stocked with booze.
Isaac checked his watch and frowned. "We've got to get to work. We need to get this boat off the dock by one."
Everyone jumped into action, helping lug all of our luggage on board and taking it all into the main salon.
Amos and Silas were curious about pulling the anchor so they went with the guys to watch while Jackson and I headed up to the top deck to watch. I leaned over the railing to watch them jump into action.
"Fuck, I didn't know this could be such a sexy sight," Jackson groaned, adjusting himself as he watched Sawyer pulling the line in. Tugging on it had every muscle in his body straining and shifting. All of my mates were glistening in the hot sun, looking sexier than I could ever imagine.
"I was thinking the same thing," I agreed. My voice came out in a breathy whisper.
I'd never been more impressed in my life than I was watching Isaac navigate the boat out of the harbor with the help of his team. Jackson and I stayed in our spot, the wind whipping our hair as he slowly picked up speed. A vessel like this wasn't going to move like a speedboat but I was surprised by how smooth it was.
Sawyer was the first to find us.
"There they are," he said, coming up and giving me a kiss before doing the same to Jackson. I loved that they didn't hold back on my account.
"Can I see the crew quarters?" I questioned. "I want to see your rooms and how you live behind the scenes."
"Prepare yourself," he snorted. "It's going to blow your mind." Sarcasm dripped from every word. I had a feeling I was going to find it far more impressive than he did.
"Since it's just the five of us, we took a few liberties in the rooms. Generally, there are at least two bunks per room but we have only one and extra space for storage. That was a change dear old dad didn't approve of."
The small rooms were nearly identical but he didn't even have to tell me whose was whose.
Isaac's was meticulously clean, everything in its place. Oaks had several aprons hanging up and little chaotic bursts of color here and there.It was bright and vibrant like his personality. Colt’s was also clean but he had more life in it, a few pictures of the guys in different locations along with some landscape pictures that were breathtaking.
Vince probably had the most style. A few pieces of art hanging up and his covers weren't just the same plain white as everyone else's.
Sawyer's was probably the messiest. It was cluttered and inviting and definitely looked lived in.
He wasn't wrong, the rooms were tiny, but I loved them. It felt like I was seeing flashes of their lives now. It was hard to imagine them enjoying life on land while living in a place like this. They dedicated years to this lifestyle and Isaac was a captain.
They didn't belong in Lockwood.
Yet they belonged with me.
Determination settled in me, strong and forceful. I knew I couldn't let them give this up. Not for me, not for anyone.
I also couldn't just give up on my own dreams and plans for the future.
Despite Amos, Silas, and Jackson wanting a fresh start, that didn't necessarily mean living in tiny rooms at sea.
I let out a sigh. That was a problem for another day. Right now I was promised some amazing food, the open ocean, and being properly fucked in several locations.
There was no way I was going to let this opportunity pass me by.
"Come on, let's go get in the hot tub," Sawyer urged as everyone disappeared into their own quarters and found their luggage.
