After a rather pleasant dinner in the restaurant, I decide to explore the ship. We’ve been at sea for four days now and I haven’t had the proper opportunity to see what else this ship has to offer. I take the elevator to the second deck and somehow manage to find my way outside. It’s dark, and the ocean breeze is pleasant, brushing across my face as I wander the deck. It’s pretty quiet, and not a lot of people are about, despite the early hour, so I make my way to the outdoor bar and order a margarita. He slides a straw into the drink, and I take a sip, then grab my glass and go over to the railing. I take another sip of the liquid and as I suck, a piece of the straw breaks off. I chew on it, ready to spit it out, except I find myself biting on something soft and sweet.

“An edible straw,” I murmur. “Can’t say I’ve ever tasted anything like that before.”

With my drink in hand, I stare at the darkened water, and as I take another sip, I notice some movement out of the corner of my eye. I move away from the railing and make my way toward the back of the ship. I hear whispers from several passengers as I pass them and turn to give them a smile or raise my eyebrows in acknowledgment. When I get closer to the stern of the ship, I notice someone leaning over the railing, arms extended, almost like they're dropping something into the ocean.

“Is that—?”

“Mr. Brady?”

A deep baritone voice has me turning to see a man dressed in a pink button-down shirt, torn white jean shorts, flip-flops, and a white wristband around his right arm. His hair is black with several blond streaks running through it, and as he moves closer, I notice his dark brown eyes and two white stud earrings in each ear.

“It is Mr. Brady, right?” he asks again.

“Yes,” I reply.

“Good evening, Mr. Brady. I’m Calvin, your ship’s captain.”

“Oh. Well, good evening,” I reply, stretching out my hand.

“I must say, it’s an honor having you on board my ship to film a high-rating television show.”

“Thank you.”

There’s something about the way he’s looking at me that makes me wonder if he’s checking me out because he wants to fuck me or if he’s suspicious about something. Either way, he is the ship’s captain, so I guess I have to be nice and try to make a good, lasting first impression.

“How are you enjoying the journey so far?”

He inches closer toward me as I lean against the railing.

“It’s been all work and no play up until now, so I haven’t really had an opportunity to explore the ship and see what she has to offer.”

My focus goes back to whatever is happening at the front of the ship, and then the captain’s voice is right beside me.

“Well, if you don’t have any plans this evening, perhaps you’d like to join me for a private captain’s dinner.
