longer trapped in a small room with his enormous presence. When I no longer could still feel the lingering tingle on my lips from having his on mine, I began to feel like an idiot. Only after I was able to think clearly, I decided even though the rules sucked that I wasn’t going to risk his job or mine. My newfound revelation gave me a false sense of security, because an hour later when we crossed paths on the Promenade deck, my lips automatically puckered and my nipples hardened just from seeing him again.
After Cliffhangers performed, I excused myself, claiming I felt ill and headed back to my stateroom wanting to be alone.
It wasn’t too far from the truth.
Time off was a privilege, and having the option to do whatever we wanted was even more so. Members of the crew weren’t allowed to interact with the public on their time off. Most would congregate in the staff lounge, the Internet room, or the crew gym. Ricky reminded me of how lucky we were when he came to my stateroom to reprimand me.
“I’m just not in the mood to hang out tonight.”
“He’s there.” He tried to sweeten the deal. Did he realize that only meant torture for me?
“Oh, great.” He smiled, assuming victory. His smile faded when I then said, “All the more reason to stay here.”
“You two are killing me! I’ve never met two people as stubborn as you!” I had no smartass retaliation, which gave him the green light to continue his tantrum. “I saw the sparks flying between you today in that storage room. Actually, that is too tame of an analogy. It was more like fucking explosions going off from land mines!”
True , I thought.
“I’ve never seen him act like this. Ever! Trust me when I say you got under his skin.”
And he got under mine , I thought.
“There is absolutely no reason that condones this stupidity.”
Except for destroying our careers , I thought.
Reading my thoughts, he then said, “There is no way Sunset cares if you two are fucking, as long as you two are okay with fucking!”
Great, now I had a visual of Marco fucking me .
“They would only care if you were forced or harassed into it.”
Once I started, the only thing Marco would have to force me to do was to stop fucking him.
“Are you going to say something or sit there and ignore me like you ignore what he does to you?”
Yep, ignoring sounds like the perfect solution at the moment .
He raised his hands as if he wanted to strangle me and cried out, “ Ugh !” Without another word, he stormed out of my room, slamming the door behind him.
“Well, that didn’t go well,” I finally spoke, but the only one to hear me was my reflection.
CHAPTER EIGHT
Marco
I sat at the bar, completely lost in my thoughts.
Because of my schedule, it was rare that I actually socialized with my staff. Watching them relieve stress often put me in a great mood. I truly liked these people, and their happiness meant the world to me. I’d be kidding myself if I pretended the reason I showed tonight wasn’t the very reason I should have stayed away. I should have been relieved when I saw she wasn’t there. Again, I’d be kidding myself if I pretended anything other than disappointment.
All I could think about was Rebecca.
She was suspiciously missing, and I was sure it had to do with our “incident” earlier today in the staging room.
I stared at the whiskey in my glass, replaying the scene over and over in my mind. I crossed a line, and I wasn’t entirely convinced that it wouldn’t happen again sooner or later. Who knows what would have happened if Ricky hadn’t barged in? That scared the shit out of me. And after today, I knew every time we were alone I’d have to fight the urge to kiss her. Now after having tasted her lips, albeit for two seconds, I was no longer sure I could win that fight.
I wanted her so badly. The way she returned my gaze could only indicate that she wanted me as well. That made it even scarier.
