Kaite As Mark and I make our way back onto the ship, I spot Amy and Jack stepping out onto the deck, their cheeks a little flushed, a touch too casual. I can’t resist a sly smile as we approach them, noting the way they’re both avoiding direct eye contact. “Well,” I tease, folding my arms, “what have you two been up to?” Jack and Amy exchange a quick look, trying to keep their faces neutral, before they both respond at th...

Amy Venice is a maze of narrow alleys, stone bridges, and little canals that twist and turn as if designed to lead you astray. The group is all together for this part of the tour, but at some point, Mark and I find ourselves a little separated from the others. A pack of chattering holidaymakers forms a wall between us and the rest of our friends, and Mark takes full advantage of the moment. He leans in, close enough that...

Katie As we step aboard the ship, I take a long, satisfying look at the polished decks, the subtle sway of the ocean already humming beneath my feet. The salty breeze has that tang I adore, promising mischief and indulgence. Jack gives my hand a squeeze, a knowing smile pulling at the corners of his lips. He’s quiet as ever, but his eyes glint with that familiar, thrilling look. We’ve been talking about this trip for mont...

Trailing in the pungent, inescapable chlorine-scented wake of Danny, Candace reveled proudly in the jeers of passing housekeepers and couples within the claustrophobic corridor, most of whose female counterparts would have risked everything to be in her shoes in that moment. As the towering 6’2” Danny began to decelerate, Candace and Paul felt a surge of nervousness, realizing they were mere moments from reaching his room...

Marital hall passes were something only ever mentioned in the movies, or jokingly brought up between couples while in an intoxicated state. The odds of a spouse being presented with the opportunity of a random intimate encounter with Chris Hemsworth or Sydney Sweeney had been so miniscule that it was typically just something passively agreed to in the spirit of avoiding a stupid argument. Paul’s entire life began to flash...

Rick and Amanda stood on the deck of their cruise ship as it eased out of the harbor. “This thing is BIG!” Amanda exclaimed. Indeed, it was much bigger than the small cruise ships they had enjoyed in the past. Their decision to take a cruise had been a spur of the moment decision. It had been a cold winter thus far and they both had cabin fever, so when Rick saw an unbelievable offer online, they took advantage of it. The...

Introduction: We met Sean and Betty at dinner the first night on a cruise ship. It turned out they only live fifty miles from us. We said we'd try to get together sometime after the cruise, but that never happened, well, except for Sean and me. The next morning, Arthur and I went hiking in St. Maarten, while Betty and Sean went horseback riding. We enjoyed their company at dinner again. Even though his wife was, so far, e...

  Oh Audrey, my sweet, tawdry Audrey, I’ve never seen you like this but you literally rocked my world! Your transition was powerful and a complete turn-around – not to mention turn-on! Imagine my surprise – oh hell, imagine your husband’s! It all seemed simple enough. My first time visiting your home was a meeting to plan a Bermuda cruise vacation for the three of us. It didn’t enter my mind that you and I might soil your...

Serena McGuire hated boats, that was all there was to it. The rolling beneath her feet, the closed confinement, even the sea air bothered her although it never had before. Of course, she had been on a beach then. But the combination now had her stomach rolling along with the waves of the ocean. Her best friend, Isabel Trecher, instructed her that if she would actually spend some time on the deck instead of in their cabin...
