“Which means something down there has a lot of power.” I looked to Thorsten, who seemed happy to hear the news.

“Let’s monitor for sources of power. Our search just became easier.”

“I’m sure that’s what everyone says, but obviously the dive was much harder than they expected, or whatever it is that’s down there would have been retrieved ages ago,” I said, wanting to temper Thorsten’s excitement.

“True, but it also means the place we’re looking for is closer than I thought. If all I have to worry about is the retrieval, then it’s a step up for me. I hate looking for things.”

Dean, a tall, stocky fellow I had been on several dives with, tapped at the monitors and chuckled. “Yeah, it seems like thelocation is a cakewalk which means this might be one of the most dangerous dives we’ve been on if we attempt this.”

“You mean when.” Raze corrected.

“How many teams attempted the dive here?” He asked, looking at his monitor.

“From my research, they reported only two hundred dives. Only eight were successful, that’s a four percent chance of success.” Lala chimed in.

“We’ll hone in on the area to get a more accurate reading.” Thorsten sat and waited. The bits of sunlight began peeking through the thick clouds and reflecting beautifully off his skin.

Dean approached to sit near me but moved to the other side. “How you doing?”

“Fine. I will be even better once we do this dive. I guess.”

“I was worried about you when you up and left with a short goodbye. You look different… your face and eye…” He said, looking at the scar on my forehead. I also kept my eye covered with a patch.

“I’m fine.” I smiled wistfully. “This city is tougher than it looks,” I said, not wanting to tell him the details. It wasn’t as if Dean and I were friends, but I knew him longer than the others, and I’ve been on the most dives with him. I wondered if they knew Thorsten and I were sleeping together. Perhaps they knew, but said nothing. Did they think I was his whore?

“How’s your father?”

“In a hospital.”

“Really?” He asked, surprised. “Does that have something to do with this job?”

“Sort of.”

Thorsten stood. “It’ll take until the next morning to get the full map of this place. The ship is large enough for everyone to find a room to sleep; food is in the kitchen.” He said giving me alingering look, which suggested he wanted me to join him inside, most likely to the captain’s quarters.

“Well, I guess that’s my cue to call it. I’ve been up all night preparing for this. Let me know if you find anything.”

“No problem.” Dean looked like he wanted to say something else but changed his mind.

I traveled the large hall to the vast bedroom office that was the captain’s quarters. If this ship was a small home, this was the master bedroom with its hardwood floors and soft white rug, and king-sized circular bed.

“Enjoying yourself?”

“I haven’t been on a dive since coming to this city. And the challenge of the abyss is a diver’s dream.”

“That’s not what I asked.”

“Yes, I am.” I was nervous, like I was in a room with him alone for the first time. I wondered what the others thought of me. Was my departure too obvious? Did they whisper things about me behind my back? I wanted Thorsten but would the noise of our lovemaking reach their ears?

He sat on the bed and pulled me between his legs, and began peeling off the wet suit until my bare chest was exposed to the warm room.

He took my flat nipple in his mouth, pulled me into his broad chest, and rolled me onto the bed until he fell on top of me, pressing into me with all his weight, which he knew I loved. He peeled off the rest of my suit, my hard cock springing up, and I opened my legs to him, inviting him to the place he knew all too well.

“I like it when your hair is loose,” I whispered while undoing the knots he used to keep the white strands in check. It draped over me like a curtain, and in my mind, it acted as a shield to hide my shame at the pleasure I felt when he inserted a wet digit inside.

He coated his cock with spit and entered, I thought it would be painful like the first time we had sex, but my body had adjusted to him quickly like it craved him inside.

His hips pressed into me, driving his cock deeper inside, his cool pine scent, his large hard body, the way he moved. I loved everything. The whispers died, and I felt safe since I’ve come to this city, nothing has made me feel safe except for when he’s near.
