Olive
The cool breeze whipped past my face, making me toss my head back, close my eyes, and just be. I was soaking all of this up right now. I was on a yacht, cruising around the island, next to fine ass fucking Highland.
And that kiss. Jesus. I could go on for days about the way his lips felt on me, but that wouldn’t do anyone justice.
No, any experience with Highland was just that, an experience you had to bear witness to yourself to even believe it.
And this man, his hands, and mouth were something I wasn’t willing to share even the slightest memory of.
No, I was being stingy as hell when it came to Highland and me.
I didn’t want anyone to know just how deep this was yet.
I mean even when I broke the kiss, it was like he knew I wasn’t ready to take it where I so badly needed him.
I wanted to move differently with Highland.
I didn’t want to repeat the cycle of hooking up for the moment and that was it.
No, I felt what me and Highland had was beyond and I wanted to be sure, even if I was still throwing out subtle hints that I needed him between my thighs.
For a few more minutes I sat there, looking at him as he handled this massive yacht with ease.
He had one hand on the wheel and the other free between us.
I took a chance and reached out to hold it, pulling it back where I had it before, in my lap.
I wanted him to at least feel the pressure from the hum of my pussy even if he didn’t touch her beneath the clothes.
“Highland, this view is simply beautiful.” I yelled over at him as I put my full attention back on the pretty, clear blue water as the gentle waves danced around. This view was different from being on the ferry. I felt like I had V.I.P access right now. I could practically smell the salt water.
His bright smile came out again, making mine return even wider.
“Yeah, it’s something special for sure. This is just the beginning, it gets better.
Now, if you ask someone else, they will tell you the sunrise is the top level.
Of course, I’m different, it’s those sunsets and starry nights that really make you appreciate the beauty of the sea for me.
The way the blue from the ocean mirrors the pinks, purple, and oranges is a masterpiece that only God could paint that sky view with.
And the stars bouncing off the waves make for an amazing light show that you can only experience in person. ”
“I can’t wait for you to show me both.” I hoped my subtle clues would let him know I was enjoying him just as much as I was the ride of the yacht. His crooked grin appeared just as we began to approach another boat.
“Oh don’t worry; I got plans to do just that, Olive. All you have to do is say the word and I’ll make all the arrangements.”
“The word.” The words left my mouth eagerly and I didn’t care. I wanted whatever time Highland was making available for me.
Highland chuckled but I was serious.
He nodded, letting me know he’d heard me loud and clear. I enjoyed being around him with the kids, but our alone time had me remembering I was a single woman out here.
“Okay, since we’re getting to know each other, give me three random ass facts that I should know about you.”
I tapped my chin as I tilted my head, thinking of three good things I could tell him.
“Um… I love cheesecake but not just any cheesecake. Seasonal Sweets does this banana pudding one during the summer season that I literally break my neck for each year. I love the water, but don’t get the chance to explore it as often as I would like.
And I secretly want a big family. Growing up as an only child was hard sometimes.
I never wanted it for Jo-Jo. But, as you know, my love life isn’t—hasn’t been at the top of my list for a while. ”
He was quiet, making me nervous.
Good job, Olive. You scared him off. He doesn’t want any more kids. He already has two. And here you are—
“How many more do you see yourself having?”
“I don’t know. I say my tap is five but—”
I let my voice drift off, unsure if I should continue.
“Two more.” Highland didn’t voice it as a question, more so storing the information in his memory bank. His tone was even, which helped calm me down. My smile was soft as I glanced over at Highland to read his demeanor.
Calm, solid.
“Okay, I told you mine. What are yours?”
“The water saved my life. After Neela was born, I wasn’t in the best shape, and well, I came out here and found peace again. I’m a simple man. I love good old fashioned chocolate ice cream. And let’s see, I wanted more children, just didn’t think it was possible for a long time.”
I didn’t respond, just reached for his free hand, interlocking mine with his, with Highland bringing them to his mouth, kissing the back of mine.
Twenty minutes later we ended up on another side of the island, pulling up alongside another boat that appeared to be the front of a restaurant.
“Stay here real quick while I tie the line.” Highland got up and leaned down to kiss my temple before hitting two buttons on the control board, one being the anchor and the other I wasn’t sure of.
But of course I was nosy and wanted to see him in action.
So as soon as he was up and moving down the steps, so was I.
“Ooh, wait, I want to help,” I said behind him. And even though he didn’t turn around to acknowledge me, that didn’t stop the laughs rumbling from him.
“Oh yeah, I forgot my woman is out here coming for my job. Well, if you coming, I’ma put your ass to work, Olive,” he said over his shoulder just as we hit the bottom step. My mind was so caught up in the idea of learning more about this boat life that I almost missed his words.
“Your woman?”
Highland looked over at me, instantly causing a rush of heat to flow through my body. His eyes alone had me ready to commit to the title without him even officially asking me.
“Just practicing. I thought I would try the title out first to see how you felt about it. I don’t know about you, but I love how it sounds.
” I licked my lips before I tucked my bottom one between my teeth, doing my best to hide my goofy ass grin.
I was sure the warmth on my cheeks gave me away though.
I quickly shook my head before I put my eyes on my hands. I decided to change the subject.
“I thought you said you were tying off the yacht, but how is that supposed to happen when we’re in the middle of the ocean?” I looked around at the open sea…well, besides the boat now next to us.
“I am. Since we’re pulling up to a boat and not a dock, we’re going to secure us to them.
Do you see these balloon looking things hanging?
” Highland gently pulled one. “These are like our bumpers in the sea. It helps us to not cause any damage to our vessel and the other. Here, let me show you how it works.” Highland came behind me, pressing his dick against my ass again, only this time the tap to my knee had me really bending, backing my ass up in his lap in a damn squat position.
When he moved his strong arms down mine until he had possession of my hands, I held my breath. Even if he wasn’t aware of the simple act, this position was dangerous for me.
Liv, how did we become the little spoon?
“You’re going to tie us to the other yacht from the line. I’m going to show you how to properly tie a hitch knot to lock us in place.” Highland shifted a little, meaning so did his dick now firmly fitting between my ass cheeks.
“O-okay,” I choked out while we worked the first fender over. Highland was a pro as he managed to handle me and the rope.
“Okay, so first thing, this isn’t a rope; it’s a mooring line.” I chuckled lowly because to me it looked like just another rope. The harsh but gentle slap to my ass had me yelping before looking over my shoulder at Highland who now wore a stern look.
“Be serious, Olive. This is important, especially when it comes to ensuring our passage across their yacht and to make sure we have a boat to come back to. Now, like I was saying, this is a mooring line for our yacht. This is the hook we’re going to cast through.
We’re going to take the line and do a figure eight looking knot.
” He made it hard to focus, be serious, and not want to finish bending over right now.
Between this man calling his yacht ours to his big ass dick now daring me to spread my ass for his entry.
I was not here for the tying of anything, especially if it didn’t involve me tying my arms and legs around his body.
“An infinity symbol,” I said lowly but of course since Highland was on my back he heard me. He brushed his lips against my ear and whispered back.
“Exactly, just like I hope we’ll be.” I gasped as I tried to turn to see Highland and his facial expression. He was unmoved, almost too fucking calm at his words.
Why wouldn’t he be, Liv? They are his words.
“Olive, focus. We’re already starting to sway to the motion of the waves, which could cause us to drift and I want to prevent that at all costs.”
I’m just saying, I could just—
Another quick love tap to my ass had me stopping my thought from forming to its full potential.
“Olive, you’re going to have me dragging you downstairs instead of being the gentleman you deserve and at least feeding you before getting lost in your sweet sea between these thick ass thighs you keep trying to spread open for me.
” I gasped when I felt his hands now moving up my legs until they reached my barely there bikini bottom.
I closed my eyes, just as the sound of another voice had me shooting them wide open and scanning the area.
“Hello, Captain Floyd, you’re right on time for your reservation. I’m lowering the passerelle as we speak.” Even though I couldn’t see him, panic was riddled all over my face that he could see where Highland’s roaming hands were.
