chapter 3

Reaching the bottom of the steps she stopped and gasped at what she saw. It was a classic wood interior, varnished to a dark rich glow, the main cabin lined with wide plush couch-like benches. Beyond was a beautiful stainless galley and salon. Beyond the galley through the far door she could see a V-birth and full side bathroom. She was amazed at the size of the boat's interior compared to it's deceptively shaped exterior hull.

She poked through the galley and found some snacks and chilled bottle of wine. Bringing it all back on deck she sat next to him and commented "Stunningly beautiful inside and out. How much is she?"

"She's worth every penny. Cashed in some of my portfolio which were going nowhere anytime soon... its a big investment but i think you're worth it."

He watched her glowing with delight, the sun in her hair ruffling by the breeze. The wind teasing her jacket open, parting occasionally giving him glimpses of her small but perfectly proportioned breasts and trim athletic abdomen. He throbbed again remembering her small naked body moving over him that incredible night months ago.

What he was implying suddenly sunk in and recognizing the cost, she slipped into his arms with a deep kiss and teasingly replied, "Really...that's all? 'cause I thought worth much more than a boat. Probably a private jet, a big mansion, couple cars.... you know, the actual important stuff."

"Oh, there's more for you...if you will stay this time, but this is just for us now," he felt her again press into his softness and he slipped his arms around her for a quick hug.

"Yes'm just for you. So what would you like to do...sail around the bay? find a hideaway for a swim? I know some spots up river where the water is fresh rather than salty and a lot warmer. By the way you are stunning in that outfit. I guessed at your size and you can't believe the looks I got from the saleslady as I picked them out."

She laughed, asking as she opened the wine and started laying out the snacks, "Yes I would love a swim...you know I love the water. But tell me...what happened when you bought the outfit?"

"She asked me if I was buying it for my daughter" he answered, pointing a heading on the binnacle compass for her to steer by, northwards, to a redwood covered island about 5 miles distant.

She spun the helm turning the boat expertly and asked, "And what happened next? This is an interesting story you know." As the boat swung around she felt him press into her and she felt a welcome surge inside her, his size and strength so much greater than hers.

He blushed saying "I said 'No, do you want this sale or not?' paid for it and walked out. More than that it was the looks of disgust I got from her and the other people in the store. San Francisco is a very rich, very thin city. But never mind that, the aggravation was worth seeing your face and seeing you in what I bought for you."

She giggled and said, "I love the contrast between us...our ages and especially our sizes. Thank you for suffering the slings and arrows...the outfit is wonderful and this experience is even greater."

They held each other, memories of pleasures returning to them both as the trim yacht sliced through the open bay, sunlight sparkling on the crest of each wavelet, time forgotten for an hour or so of silence.

After awhile he broke their reverie.

"It looks like we're almost there...see the small beach between those big rocks? their are three large redwoods just beyond. I'll drop the sail and see if you can center us between those boulders."
