Perfect Timing (Closed for NewGame8)

[Girly_girl]

Pam smiled when Steven stood up and kissed her cheek and then pulled her seat up for her, “You’re spoiling me, Steven, I don’t know what I’m going to do once the cruise is over, nobody has ever pulled my chair out for me and then pushed me in.” Hmmmm, I think I’m going to splurge and order an iced vanilla latte, no cream please.” Pam sat at the table and thought back to last night, she was sure she had a huge grin on her face thinking about it.

“I’m so glad to hear you slept as well as I did, as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out. You dreamed about me.” Pam was intrigued, she raised her eyebrow. “Are you going to share or leave me hanging, inquiring minds need to know!” Pam laughed but somehow had a feeling he was going to take his time and wait to tell her after breakfast.

She listened to Steven at least tell her the topic of his dream, “ Well, I look forward to hearing about your dream then.” They looked over the breakfast menu and she decided on a veggie omelette and wheat toast with butter. “I guess I will just have to be patient for you to tell me about your dream.”

“We can walk over to the kiosk to get your photo. We are about to dock at Half Moon Key, I wanted to pickup something for my sister and mom but other than that, we can come back here. Would you be up for a swim before getting ready for the ball?”

 

[NewGame8]

"Like I said Pamela, whatever you want to do is fine with me. We can look for the picture and then go ashore so you can do some shopping. I would be happy to accompany you on your excursion. After that, if you want to go swimming, I would be happy to do that also. Of course, I might have to keep all of the guys away when they see how incredible you look in a bikini."

After breakfast, they went down to check out the pictures that were taken of them. When he saw that there were several pictures of them set up, he was amazed at how good the photo was of them. "These pictures are great." A woman standing next to Steven looking at pictures said, "the two of you make a beautiful couple. You look like you were made for each other." Steven smiled at the woman and thanked her for the kind compliment. As he took the pictures off the wall to purchase them, he looked at Pamela. "That woman said we look like we were made for each other."

After purchasing the pictures, they went back to their cabins for a moment. Steven wanted to leave the pictures there and he needed to get his wallet. Pamela said she needed to get her purse. Once they met up again, the ship had already docked and they made their way off. As they walked around Half Moon Key, they held hands. It seemed normal for them to be hand-in-hand now. Pamela stopped in several shops and bought several gifts. Once she was ready, Steven let her lead him back to the ship.

After returning to their cabins to get ready for the beach, Steven changed into an aqua and white bathing suit, and he put on a white tank top. He had now worn every item that he had brought for the beach and/or pool. He stood on the balcony for a second and looked out over Half Moon Key. He wasn't sure how long they were supposed to be docked here. Being a cruise virgin, he was still trying to figure out what he was supposed to know/ do and knowing the schedule was something he hadn't mastered yet.... another thing to thank Pamela for... keeping him up to date on what is going on.

He heard a knock on his door and went to answer it. It was Pamela and she was ready for the pool, and she, once again, looked absolutely amazing.

 

[Girly_girl]

“Wonderful, shopping it is. Maybe I’ll find something for myself too as I haven’t treated myself in a long time.” They talked as they ate their breakfast enjoying each others company as usual. “I’m perfectly fine with you keeping the other men away, there is only one man I’m interested in spending time with at the pool.” She winked and smiled at him.

After breakfast they walked over to the photo counter so they could pickup the photos from last nights dinner, when Pam laid eyes on the photo it took her breath away, they both looked so content and relaxed with each other, not to mention well dressed. "These are absolutely amazing, I love them.

"That woman said we look like we were made for each other."

Pam looked up at Steven and smiled at him, she was trying to read how he felt about the shopkeeper's comment but didn't quite pick up anything, honestly she agreed with the woman, they did look wonderful together. They made their way up to their cabins, they wanted to drop their photos off and grab their wallet and purse. As they made their way off the ship, Steven reached for Pam's hand, it just felt so natural now and so right. Pam found some beautiful sea glass earrings for her mom and sister and several items that caught her eye for herself. She saw Steven paying for something at the cash register as she went over to pay for her items, "Did you find something you like?"

They made their way back onto the ship and agreed to meet after dressing for the pool. Pam chose a green bikini to wear, she had bought it specifically for the cruise. After putting her hair in a loose bun, she made her way over to Steven's cabin and knocked on the door. When he answered he was speechless and had a smile that lit up his whole face. "Ready for a swim?"

 

[NewGame8]

The green bikini looked incredible on Pamela. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. When she asked if he was ready for a swim, the little devil sitting on his shoulder said, "tell her you are ready for a whole lot more than just as swim. Tell her you want to get that bikini off and see ALL of her body." The angel on his shoulder, however, said to him, "say yes, and enjoy your day with such a beautiful woman."

"Yes, Pamela, I am ready for a swim. Let's go." He closed the door behind him and walked with Pamela as they made their way up to the pool. As they moved onto the pool deck, Steven walked over and grabbed two towels and followed Pamela as she looked for two lounge chairs together. It would be an understatement to say that Pamela became the main attraction for all of the men's eyes. It seemed like every male turned to watch Pamela as she looked for a lounger.

Once Pamela found two chairs together, they laid out the towels. "Okay Pamela, we have our spot staked out. You want to lay here for a while or do you want to go swimming first?" Steven wanted to make sure that he was doing the gentlemanly thing and asking Pamela what she wanted to do. He was still a little upset with himself about how he had handled dessert at dinner last night.

Steven waited for her response. When Pamela bent over her chair to put the sunscreen lotion down, he couldn't help to stare at her perfect peach. Everything about her was amazing. He made sure that when she stood back up that his eyes had moved from her ass and were looking directly into hers.

 

[Girly_girl]

It took Steven what seemed like forever to answer her, almost as if he was in deep, deep thought. “Hello, earth to Steven, penny for your thoughts.” Pam giggled, “You okay?” She was curious as to what he could possibly be thinking.

As they walked quietly to the pool, she noticed his swim trunks, “By the way, aqua is my favorite color, it’s a very nice color on you.” Pam looked up at him and smiled. When they reached the pool she searched for 2 chairs together, she finally spotted some on the other side. She could feel all the men’s eyes on her as she walked by with Steven, several of them even wolf whistled at her and mumbled something to their buddies.

"Okay Pamela, we have our spot staked out. You want to lay here for a while or do you want to go swimming first?"

“I would like to go swimming first, it looks so refreshing and today is a hot one, even with the ocean breeze.” Pam took out the sunscreen and began to apply on her arms, shoulders, legs and of course her face, she turned to Steven, smiling “Would you help me with my back please?”

 

[NewGame8]

When Pamela said she wanted to go swimming first, Steven started to move toward the pool. He stopped when he saw Pamela take out the sunscreen and begin to apply it to her body. He was surprised that she was putting it on before getting in the pool. He thought she would wait until she got out, but he was sure she knew what was best.

He put some sunscreen in his hands, rubbed them together and then began to apply it to her back. He took his time. It was very obvious that many of the men around the pool were watching them, and Steven figured he would give them a nice show. His hands made sure that every inch of Pamela's back was well-covered with sunscreen from her shoulders all the way down to the waistband of her bikini bottom, where his fingertips moved along the waistband to make sure that all of her precious skin was covered.

When he was finished, he whispered into Pamela's ear, "Make sure you get your chest Pamela. You don't want the girls getting burnt." He handed Pamela the sunscreen and stepped back as she applied it.

Once Pamela was finished applying the sunscreen to her chest, and after several guys choked on their drinks while she was applying the sunscreen to her chest, Steven and Pamela walked to the pool together. Without hesitating, Steven jumped into the pool and turned to look at Pamela who was still on the deck. Steven began to splash Pamela. He heard her scream a little as he splashed her. "Come on Pamela, it is only water."

He backed away from her, giving her a chance to get in the pool. When she slowly made her way into the pool, Steven moved back toward her. Then, he went under the water, grabbed Pamela's legs and pulled her under with him. In that moment, he thought that maybe Pamela didn't want to get her hair wet, but it was too late... she was completely submerged.

When they moved back to the surface, Steven waited to see Pamela's reaction. He was hoping that he didn't go too far. He enjoyed his time with Pamela and he liked her playful side. He just hoped that getting her hair wet wasn't an issue with the Christmas in July Ball coming up tonight. Her reaction told Steven that she was not upset. Pamela came back up smiling and laughing, and she began to splash him.

Instead of moving away from Pamela as she splashed him, Steven moved closer to her. He took her in his arms and held her close to him. It felt good to have her pressed against him. He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and then he went under the water, Pamela still in his arms.

 

[Girly_girl]

Pam always made sure to give her skin the extra protection, even with going in the water. She covered her body, the spots she could reach anyway and Steven helped her with her back. His strong hands felt good massaging the coconut scented sunscreen into her skin. “By any chance do you give massages? You have amazing hands.” She felt a lot of eyes on her but as far as she was concerned none of them mattered, most of them were horny college guys.

After Steven finished with her back, he jumped into the pool and splashed her. She smiled as she slowly, tantalizingly walked into the pool and walked over to him, he want under and without any warning she was being pulled under, she let out a playful scream before being pulled under.

When they popped back up to the surface they were both smiling and laughing, she adored his playfulness. When he went to rub his eyes, she snuck behind him and hopped on his back and pulled him under, “Sneak attack!” He managed to escape and turned towards her under water and took her hand in his.

Once they came back up again, Pam playfully splashed him, he smiled and pulled her close, she had come to enjoy the feeling of his strong arms around her. Steven placed a quick kiss on her lips and they both went under, his arms still wrapped around her.

 

[NewGame8]

When Pamela asked him whether he gave massages, Steven leaned in and whispered in her ear, "If you want to find out how good they are, just ask."

After taking Pamela under the water with him, he held her there for a moment. He did not want to hold her under long, because he didn't want her to panic or feel like she was in trouble. He just wanted to play with her. Steven moved back to the surface with Pamela still in his arms. He looked in her eyes as she caught her breath. Then, he kissed her softly on the lips, released her, went under the water and swam to the other side of the pool.

Steven came back to the surface and looked at Pamela, who was still standing where he had left her. She was looking in his direction with a smile on her face. He went under the water again and swam back toward Pamela. This time, instead of grabbing her legs and pulling her under, Steven saw between her legs and came up behind her.

Upon surfacing this time, Steven kissed Pamela's shoulder blade. He was enjoying their time together in the pool. Pamela was playful and didn't get upset about being splashed or pulled or pushed under the water. She had shown the same playfulness when they were in the ocean the previous day. She was a lot of fun to be around. There was much more to her than just a pretty face and an incredibly sexy body.

When they got out of the pool, Steven helped Pamela reapply sunscreen and then applied some to himself. They spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool; returning to the water a couple of times to cool off. When Pamela said she needed to go back to her cabin to start getting ready for the ball, Steven stood up, helped Pamela out of her lounge chair and walked her back to her cabin. He kissed her lightly on the lips before heading to his cabin to get ready. Once he got to his cabin, he sat on the balcony for a while; figuring that it would take Pamela much longer to get ready than it would for him.

 

[Girly_girl]

When Pamela asked him whether he gave massages, Steven leaned in and whispered in her ear, "If you want to find out how good they are, just ask."

Pam turned around and smiled at him, caressing his cheek," I just may do that." She loved the feeling of being in his arms underwater, she didn't feel panicked or scared, she felt safe and secure. They popped back up to the surface with him still embracing her, gave her a quick kiss and swam to the other side. She just floated there watching him swim, she enjoyed watching move. Pam smiled and waved at him, he then started swimming back towards her and swam right between her legs, she let out a little shriek and laughed and loved how playful he was. He made her laugh and smile and she enjoyed his company immensely, he was the complete package.

She sighed happily when he wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed her shoulder, she turned her face back toward him and gave him her winning smile. They just stood there for a bit enjoying the sun and the closeness, soon after they got out of the pool and reapplied the sunscreen and sat on their chairs talking for awhile and soaking up some sun. Before they knew it, the time came to head back to their cabins and get ready for tonight's Christmas in July Ball. Steven took Pam's hand as he walked her to her cabin, giving her a soft kiss before parting ways. "I will see you in about 2 hours, cannot wait to see you all dressed up."

After showering and washing and blow drying her hair, Pam began her beauty regimen which did not take her long, as she didn't wear a lot of makeup. She put her hair up with some curly tendrils framing her face, put some earrings in and went to the closet to get into her green ball gown which accentuated all of her curves. It was elegant and classy, yet beautiful and sexy. Pam looked at her phone and it was time to meet Steven, she felt so beautiful in this gown. She made her way a few doors down to his cabin.

 

[NewGame8]

After sitting on the balcony for a little while, Steven decided to get ready for the ball. He had no idea what to expect, but was happy that he had packed his tuxedo. Yes, he had done some research about cruises beforehand, and was surprised that it was recommended to bring formal attire. He almost chose not to, but, now that he was going to the Christmas in July Ball with Pamela, he was happy he did.

When he was finished showering, he put on his tux. After tying his bow tie, Steven looked in the mirror. "Not bad." When he heard a knock on the door, he looked in the mirror one last time before moving to the door. Opening the door, Steven just stopped and stared. "Wow." That was all that came out at first. "You look stunning Pamela."

Stepping into the hallway, Steven offered her his arm. "May I escort the most stunning woman on the ship to the ball?" They walked to the elevator and Pamela gave the directions for where they were going. When they entered the large ballroom, there was a place to have their picture taken. He smiled at Pamela. "I feel like I am at a prom." After their picture was taken, they walked into the main part of the room. It was elaborately decorated. "Okay Pamela. I never expected something like this on a cruise. I am totally at your mercy tonight. You lead me and I will follow."

 

[Girly_girl]

Pam had always scheduled her cruises in the winter season to escape the cold, this would be her first time attending the Christmas in July ball, she had always heard wonderful things about it. Now here she was in an exquisite gown feeling like royalty with Steven joining her. When he answered his door, he had no words but his eyes told her everything she needed to know.

“I must say…you look amazing in a tux. I bet we will be the best dressed there.” She smiled when he offered her his arm, hooking her arm through his. They took their time walking to the hall and once they walked through the doors, Pam gasped at all the beautiful decor. She felt she was in a dream and did not want to wake. Turning to Steven, she looked up at him and smiled, “Have you ever seen anything more beautiful?”

A crew member greeted them and guided them over to the photographer and they both smiled. "I feel like I am at a prom." I do too!” Pam felt like a queen in her gown, it was probably the most beautiful article of clothing she’d ever owned.

"Okay Pamela. I never expected something like this on a cruise. I am totally at your mercy tonight. You lead me and I will follow."

Pam smiled at Steven’s words, she slid her arm back through his and searched for a small table for the 2 of them, once she spotted one over by the huge Christmas tree the two of them made their way over. “How is this? I thought it would be cozy and intimate for the two of us.”

 

[NewGame8]

Steven followed Pamela as she walked toward the Christmas tree. He was surprised at how the cruise company went all out for this event. Not only was there a Christmas tree, but it was decorated and there were Christmas decorations all around the room. What he was not surprised about was how Pamela turned so many heads as they made their way. There was no doubt that she was the "Belle of the Ball."

When Pamela found the table near the tree, she asked him what he thought. "This is perfect Pamela. It gives us a great view of the entire ballroom but it is out of the way enough to give us a little privacy." They sat and watched as more and more people arrived. Steven enjoyed the people watching. It was something that he had never really taken time to do, but recent events told him that he needed to do things for himself.

He stood up and said to Pamela, "I will be right back. Don't let anyone take my seat." He smiled and made his way over to the bar. Returning to Pamela several minutes later, Steven placed two glasses of champagne on the table. "I figured that if we were having a celebration that we should have champagne."

Sitting back down, Steven raised his glass to Pamela. They clinked glasses. "To Christmas in July with the most beautiful woman on the ship." They each took a sip and placed their glasses back on the table. While they sat there, Steven reached out and gently placed his hand on top of Pamela's.

 

[Girly_girl]

Pam could not get over how beautifully the room was decorated, to her it truly felt like Christmas. Steven pulled out her chair for her and pushed her in, “I’m glad you’re happy with the table, we have a perfect view of the whole room, yet private and not as loud as the center of the room.” Pam looked around at all the people, women dressed in beautiful evening gowns and the men in tuxedos, she always loved people watching especially on cruises.

"I will be right back. Don't let anyone take my seat."

Pam smiled as Steven left the table, all the ladies eyes flocked to him as he walked across the room. He walked with confidence and carried himself well, he was fit and incredibly handsome and she was the lucky woman here with him this evening. He arrived back with 2 glasses of champagne and handed one to her. Her eyes widened and gave him a big smile when he mentioned that they should have champagne being it’s a celebration. “I couldn’t agree more, it truly feels like Christmas to me.”
"To Christmas in July with the most beautiful woman on the ship."

She couldn’t help but give him her best smile and she felt a tear in her eye, his words touched her. They clinked glasses, “To Christmas in July with the most handsome man on the ship.” They each took a ship of the semi sweet champagne and smiled. Pam felt Steven place his hand on hers, she turned to him and smiled softly and moved her chair closer to his.

 

[NewGame8]

The two of them chatted as more and more people made their way into the ballroom. "I am surprised at how many people are coming to this. I really expected it to be fewer people in attendance. I guess that shows just how much of a cruise rookie I really am. Look at all of these people in formal attire. Of course, none of the women make their gowns look anywhere near as good as you make yours." Steven lightly caressed the back of Pamela's hand and smiled at her.

The band began to play Christmas music as the ballroom filled up. Steven asked Pamela if she wanted to dance. He had never really danced to Christmas songs before; actually, he really didn't dance that much at all, but something told him that Pamela would like to dance. He stood up and offered Pamela his hand and helped her from her chair.

Leading Pamela to the dance floor, Steven placed his hand on the small of her back. Once they were on the dance floor, Steven spun her around and then placed his hands on her hips. They began moving to the music. It felt so good to dance with Pamela. They moved well together. One would never know that it was their first time. Steven hoped it wouldn't be their last.

 

[Girly_girl]

Between chatting quietly, they’d stop and look at the passengers piling into the room, seeing how beautifully everyone was dressed. “I really didn’t expect this many people either, my guess is that they are passengers that have vacationed in July previously. This is my first time to the ball as all my cruises have been in fall or winter, I’m so glad that I’m able to experience and even more so with you.” Pam smiled when Steven told her she was the most beautiful woman in the room and placed his hand on hers.

When the band began to play Christmas music, Steven asked her if she would like to dance, she happily took his hand as he led her out to the dance floor. She smiled and laughed as he spun her around the dance floor, the 2 of them moving wonderfully together. “You’re a wonderful dancer,” Pam said with a smile. Dancing with him felt so good, the way they glided over the dance floor l came naturally to them, she hoped that there would be more dances in the future.

After dancing for several songs, Pam excused herself and went up to the stage and talked to the band leader, after a few minutes she thanked him and went back to the table. She smiled as she walked towards Steven and sat down beside him, giving him a kiss on the cheek. “I hope you don’t mind, but I requested a song. I haven’t danced like this in years and I’m having such an amazing time with you.”

 

[NewGame8]

As they walked off the dance floor, Steven watched Pamela walk away after she excused herself. He continued back to the table while keeping his eyes on Pamela as she walked up onto the stage. She looked so amazing, and she continued to turn heads as she went on stage. Steven figured many of the guys were hoping she was going to perform so that they could focus on Pamela without getting in trouble with their wives/ girlfriends/ significant others. Steven then saw Pamela talking with the band leader and wondered what she was up to.

He continued to watch her as she walked off the stage and made her way back toward him. She looked so incredibly hot in that gown, and for a moment Steven imagined how good Pamela would look out of that gown. He quickly pushed that thought out of his head as she approached the table and sat back down with him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Listening to her, Steven wondered if Pamela was up to something. She said she requested a song, but didn't tell him what it was. "I am enjoying my time with you Pamela. I am amazed at how well you dance. You make it seem like I am a good dancer, but it is all because of how well you move your wonderful body..... on the dance floor." Steven hoped that his comment about her body would not upset Pamela. He didn't want her to think he was insinuating anything... although, he certainly liked how she moved that wonderful body. "So, is the song you requested going to be a surprise?"

 

[Girly_girl]

by Pam could feel just about every man’s eyes on her as she walked across the dance floor, she was that type of woman who didn’t always realize how beautiful she really was, it’s not that she didn’t have confidence, sometimes it was just hard for her to see it. She smiled at Steven as she approached their table, my god is he handsome in a tux, not to mention in everything else she’s seen him in. Her thoughts went to thinking how good he’d look without them too, quickly pushing that thought away… for now.

“I’m very happy to hear you’re enjoying our time together, I can’t remember the last time I’ve had this much fun. My sister used to go dancing all the time before she got pregnant and we both took some adult dance classes. Nope, trust me you’re a good dancer and you move so well.” That thought popped into her head again and she felt her face begin to flush….

“It’s a favorite of mine, fun fact about me….I’m a big fan of the big band era and classical music, so I requested Moonlight Serenade by Glenn Miller.” They sat there close together listening a few songs before the band started with her request.

 

[NewGame8]

They chatted idly for a couple minutes. He really enjoyed Pamela's company. It was like she had breathed new life into him. He felt so fortunate that she had gone out of her way to help him on Day 1. He had no idea where this "relationship" was going, but he certainly wanted it to continue after the cruise considering the fact that they lived relatively close to each other.

When the band began to play Pamela's request, Steven stood up and offered Pamela his hand. After she took it and stood up, he led Pamela to the dance floor. Once there, Steven let her do a slow spin until she was facing him. He stepped close to Pamela and placed one arm around her with his hand on the small of her back. His other hand held Pamela's hand as they began to move to Glenn Miller's classic song.

"This was a wonderful choice Pamela. I have to tell you that it does not surprise me that you like classical and big band music. It just seems to me that there is an old soul locked inside that beautiful mind and body of yours." Steven leaned down and kissed her cheek.

Their bodies moved in a perfect rhythm as they danced. Everyone watching them, and, yes, there were a lot of eyes on them, would have thought they had been dancing together for years. As they danced, their bodies pressed closer to each other. It was wonderful having Pamela so close to him. Her wonderful body felt so good next to his as they moved together almost as one on the dance floor. This time, when Steven leaned down to kiss Pamela, it wasn't on the cheek. It was a deep kiss on the lips that became more and more passionate until Stephen, realizing they were in the middle of the dance floor broke the kiss. "Now, that was a kiss Pamela. Who knows where that would have led if we weren't out in public."

 

[Girly_girl]

While they sat and talked amongst themselves, Pam couldn’t believe how lucky she was to have met Steven, she couldn’t remember the last time she enjoyed the company of a man this much. It had been quite awhile since being so hurt by her ex, being with Steven just felt so right, he really knew how to treat a woman the right way. Pam hoped that their “relationship”would continue once the cruise was over.

Pam took Steven’s hand with a smile as he led her back out on the dance floor. He took her in his arms after she did a small spin, she loved the way they moved together on the floor, made her wonder what it would be like to be with him. She felt they’d have amazing chemistry just from what she’s experienced with him so far.

"This was a wonderful choice Pamela. I have to tell you that it does not surprise me that you like classical and big band music. It just seems to me that there is an old soul locked inside that beautiful mind and body of yours."

Pam looked up into Steven’s eyes and smiled softly, “Thank you, I thought so too. It’s sad but yet dreamy and romantic. My dad and mom used to play a lot of it growing up and I just fell in love with it. I truly believe there’s an old soul within me, wise beyond my years.” Pam smiled and laid her head on his chest as they danced, enjoying the closeness between them.

As they danced, Pam noticed that all the couples surrounding them were watching them in adoration, complimenting on how beautiful they looked together. She loved the way their bodies felt pressed together as they glided over the floor as if they’d been dancing together for years. Steven leaned down to kiss her, deep, tender, passion filled kiss that once again made her legs weaken and her stomach flutter. It almost seemed like she was waking from a dream she didn’t want to end when he broke the kiss. “Ummmm….yes that was definitely a wonderful kiss.” She couldn’t find her words to say what might’ve happened if they hadn’t been in public, the thoughts were there but she couldn’t put them into words, and oh what an amazing thought it was.

 

[NewGame8]

Once the song, and the dance, had ended, Steven placed his hand on the small of Pamela's back and led her back to the table. He couldn't help but notice the many eyes that followed them off the dance floor. He started to wonder if the public display of affection had been a bad idea and drawn too much attention to them.

When they arrived back at the table, Steven looked over at Pamela. "I am sorry if that PDA was too much. It was an incredible kiss, but I am afraid it drew a lot of attention in our direction. I am accustomed to a lot of attention in my work life, but I normally like to keep my personal and social life private and out of the public eye. So, if I did anything to embarrass you, I am really sorry."

Steven was pretty sure, based on the look he got from Pamela, that she was not upset with him. He just wanted to make sure that nothing went wrong between them. He was enjoying Pamela's company too much, and didn't want to mess up what they had... whatever that was.

The remainder of the evening went extremely well; they talked, they danced, they laughed and generally just enjoyed each other's company. Before they knew it, the ball was ending. It was almost midnight, but Steven felt like they had just arrived. He could not believe how fast the night went. They stayed in their seats and let the majority of the attendees make their way out of the ballroom.

Once most people had cleared out, they stood up and made their exit; holding hands. "I can't believe how much I enjoyed tonight Pamela. Thank you for inviting me to be your date for the ball. I really wish the night didn't have to end."

 

[Girly_girl]

When the song ended, Steven escorted Pam off the dance floor and back to their table, she felt as if she were floating after that kiss he planted on her lips, his hand on the small of her back just adding to that feeling, there was just something about that area of a woman’s body when a man’s hand placed there.


"I am sorry if that PDA was too much. It was an incredible kiss, but I am afraid it drew a lot of attention in our direction. I am accustomed to a lot of attention in my work life, but I normally like to keep my personal and social life private and out of the public eye. So, if I did anything to embarrass you, I am really sorry."

Pam looked into Steven’s eyes as he apologized about his public display of affection, she understood what he was saying but a part of her heard something completely different. She knew that’s not what he was saying and it was her anxiety lying to her, putting a soft smile on her face and placing her hand on his, “No need to apologize, sometimes we get lost in the moment and just go for it. I completely understand about not wanting to show affection in public.”

As the night came to a close and midnight approached, Steven took Pam’s hand and their fingers locked with one another. They walked out of the hall and talked quietly, she listened to Steven talk about how amazing this day had been and didn’t want it to end. She turned towards him, “Steven I can’t even put into words how incredible this day has been, I felt like a Princess in there wearing this gown and dancing to classical music….honestly I’m not ready for it to end either.”

 

[NewGame8]

"I felt like a Princess in there wearing this gown and dancing to classical music"

"Well, I have to tell you Pamela, you were MY Princess tonight. I really enjoyed my time with you tonight, and you were definitely the most beautiful woman at the ball. maybe we can just take a walk around the upper deck and let the hallways clear out, which will give us a little more time together."

Steven was happy that Pamela agreed to go for a walk with him. They made their way up to the upper deck and slowly walked around; holding hands as they did. As they finished their lap around the deck, they stopped and looked at each other. Steven took Pamela in his arms and held her close to him. They kissed deeply and passionately. Steven's hands were on Pamela's lower back as he pressed her even tighter to him. He held her so tightly it was almost like they were one.

Neither of them wanted the kiss to end. Steven slid one hand up Pamela's back while his other hand slipped a little lower. He was not grabbing her ass, but his fingers certainly did brush over her perfect peach. His fingers did not linger there, despite the fact that he would love to have caressed her ass. He had a feeling that Pamela's ass would fit perfectly in his hands.

After several minutes, they broke the kiss. They just looked at one another for a moment before they started back toward their cabins. Outside of Pamela's cabin door, Steven kissed her again. Once again it was deep and passionate, as he pressed her back against her door. When they broke the kiss, he looked at her. "Thank you for tonight."

"Well, I have to tell you Pamela, you were MY Princess tonight. I really enjoyed my time with you tonight, and you were definitely the most beautiful woman at the ball. maybe we can just take a walk around the upper deck and let the hallways clear out, which will give us a little more time together."

Pam felt as if her face was going to break judging by the big smile on her face when Steven told her she was his Princess this evening and she was the most beautiful woman in attendance at the ball. “Well I enjoyed every moment of being YOUR Princess this evening my handsome prince.” I’d love to take a walk with you and spend some more time together.” It was a beautiful moonlit night and a sky full of stars, as usual they had their fingers intertwined with each other as they walked a lap around the deck.

There weren’t many people on the upper deck as they were finishing their walk. Steven stopped and turned to face Pam and took her in his arms and kissed her deeply and passionately, his hands caressing her back as he held her close to him, as always when he kissed her, she felt her body begin to tingle. Had he held her any closer, they could’ve been one, what a wonderful image she had dancing through her head.

Steven’s hands stayed right above her ass, she had no doubt her shapely ass would have fit perfectly in his strong hands, she felt his fingers momentarily brush over her peach, causing her to moan softly into their kiss. When the kiss was broken he could not take his eyes off of her, he put his hand on her cheek and caressed it with his thumb.

After a few minutes of gazing into each others eyes they started towards their cabins, when they arrived at Pam’s cabin he took her in his arms once again and gave her another passion filled kiss, she didn’t want this night to end. “Steven I can’t even begin to tell you I’ve enjoyed this evening, no words can describe how much I’ve enjoyed tonight.”

"It was a great night Pamela. I am very happy that I got to attend the ball with you. I really am happy you told me about this and convinced me to attend with you." Steven leaned down and gave Pamela a soft kiss. He wanted to spend more time with Pamela, but he also did not want Pamela to think he was moving too fast.

"I am looking forward to the last days on the cruise with you. I hope we get to spend time together. I am going to get up early and run, but we can meet for coffee in the morning and decide what we are going to do. Also, if there is something you want to do on your own, I will not be offended... disappointed, but not offended." He gave her a little smile.

Holding her tight, Steven kissed Pamela again; a deep, passionate kiss. It was a kiss he would have been happy to continue all night long. After he broke the kiss, he looked into Pamela's eyes. "I will see you in the morning Pamela. I hope you sleep well." Steven waited for Pamela to go inside. He saw her hesitate. Steven looked into her eyes.

"Would it be wrong of me to invite you to my cabin to have a nightcap? Just a small drink to toast a wonderful day together. You could change out of your gown into something more comfortable, and I could get out of this monkey suit."

“It certainly was, I don’t think I’ve ever attended a party that fancy in my life. I’m so glad that is was able to convince you too, I probably would have left shortly after had I gone alone.” When Steven leaned down to kiss her again a soft moan escaped her lips, she could get used to his lips being on hers, this man and his kisses made her body tingle like never before.

“I am too, I can’t believe the week has gone by so fast. I’d love to spend our last few days together, I was planning to go to the gym for a bit in the morning and get on the treadmill but I’d love to meet you for coffee afterwards and we can decide on plans for the remainder of the day together.” She nearly melted when he smiled at her.

Steven took her in his arms once again and kissed her passionately, thoughts danced through her pretty little head, she wondered what it would be like to be with him…intimately. She had no doubt it would be amazing for them both, but she needed to know he was ready after losing his wife just a short time ago. It had also been awhile since she’d been with anyone, Steven made her feel desired, needed and wanted.

When he broke the kiss and said good night, she was getting ready to go into her cabin when he asked her if she wanted to come in for a nightcap and they could get into something more comfortable. Pam smiled softly and thought for a moment, “You know what, I’d love to.”
