				The weather at Heathrow is pretty good for a spring day in London. Outside the airport at the taxi stand, three dark long wheel based Range Rovers (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Land_Rover_Range_Rover_Autobiography_2016.jpg/1200px-Land_Rover_Range_Rover_Autobiography_2016.jpg) are waiting for their passengers. Seven of them are arriving on the same flight. These seven are all coming from New York and have had plenty of time to already get to know each other a little on the flight. Even though they don't know each other or know what the others look like, it's easy to deduct. Seven women, all flying solo, all flying business class. It should be easy to work that out. <br><br>One hour before the JFK flight lands, Mila will have landed after having travelled all the way from eastern Russia. The man waiting for her guides her to the first class lounge (http://loungeindex.com/Europe/UK/LHR/BA%20First%20Lounge%20T3/BA-LHR-Lounge-F-T3-1.jpg) where she can wait for the others to arrive and land. Maya will have already been there for about two hours by then. <br><br>Five minutes after the JFK flight lands, Valkyrie's flight from Dublin will land as well. <br><br>All ten of the young women are led towards the three waiting cars. The luggage is carried and stowed into the car and a short journey begins towards Gatwick. At Gatwick, the girls are escorted to the private jet terminal and once they have gone through security again, they are led towards a plain Gulfstream G650 jet. Two flight attendants welcome them on board, explain them about the free drinks and everything on board and before they know, they are cruising towards the south of Spain in more comfort and luxury than the average apartment. <br><br>At Malaga airport, the whole ritual repeats itself. They are escorted to three similar cars and when the luggage is loaded in, a 45 minute drive begins. When they finally arrive in the wealthy port of Puerto Banus very close to Marbella, the Linea is immediately visible. It is by far the largest boat in the marina and even though the other boats are nice and luxurious, the Linea makes them look like flotsam. <br><br>They are welcomed on board by a sun tanned middle aged man. <br><br>"Welcome onboard the Linea ladies. I'm Giacomo, the captain of this vessel. Lady Devonworth will arrive shortly. In the meantime, you can find your suites already. I believe the first suite on the left is reserved for miss Oba and the first on the right for miss Thornton. The others are doubles and have to be shared."<br><br>The man pointed towards the front of the boat and a door at the back, no doubt giving access to the corridor with the six suites. <br><br>"Feel free to change into something more appropriate for this lovely weather and enjoy a cocktail on the bar while we wait for Miss Devonworth. She will take it from there."<br><br>With that, the man left the girls to either change in their suites or sit on the deck with a cocktail while they wait for Clover.

				<div class="floatleft">(https://i0.wp.com/www.theglassmagazine.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/Zoe-Bell_03.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Maya Williams<br><strong>Location/Time:</strong> The deck - Her double sweet / Time of Arrival<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br><strong>Wearing:</strong> Pictured <br><br>Maya was used to traveling. She's traveled to nearly every continent, playing on the national circuit. After awhile you figure out how to cope with being on a plane, literally, for days, when you take the different time zones into account. <br>The main thing, she found, was to make sure to get up and walk around a little bit, every hour. It keeps the blood flowing right. That and plenty of water, and she could survive any flight. Really the main thing that made this flight different from all the others was all the room she got to stretch out in, in business class. Usually the team had a row of seats in economy. So this really felt luxurious. That mixed with what she was currently flying to, really made this flight, a first.<br><br>To go along with the theme of firsts, she was also the first to arrive at the airport where she would finally meet the other girls that Ms. Clover had chosen to meet. <br>At this point she had started to get a little stir crazy. Normally she would have found one or more of her teammates to chat with, and keep her mind occupied. But the passengers in business class seemed less interested in conversation, preferring to get lost in their noise cancelling headphones, and movies on tablet computers. All of which took far too much concentration and patience for Maya to muster right now. Especially with how anxious she would never admit that she was.<br>So when she was escorted to, not just a room of people who wouldn't talk to her, but a room devoid of people all together, she couldn't help but inwardly sigh. She had known this would be the case but that still didn't make it any less exhausting. But she managed to occupy herself, mostly with the open bar, until the next woman arrived. Mila, the Russian dancer. Maya could definitely understand why she was here, the woman was gorgeous! She actually might have felt a little self conscious about it, had she not already been a few drinks in. So instead she just raised her glass with a big, silly smile <strong>”Welcome to the party! How about a tequila sunrise?”</strong><br><br>It was definitely a relief to finally get to talk to someone, hopefully she didn't irritate Mila too early in the morning. But at least she was able to get to know her a little. She was nice, and Maya could tell, very romantic. It was probably from being an artist.<br>It wasn't long after Mila arrived that the rest of the women showed up, all on the same arrival flight, then they were lead down to get their baggage, and head to their next flight.<br>Maya made a point to talk to each of the girls. There was Shoko, very cute and a little shy. Maya had a way of making her type a little uncomfortable, with her lack of boundaries. She could get a little friendly, putting her arm around someone's shoulder when she barely knows them. She hoped she made a good first impression on her.<br>Aurora, or Rory, she carried herself with a level of authority. Maya didn't think it was something that really stood out in her personality when they talked, she struck her as fun and energetic. Someone she would be able to have fun with.<br>Amanda, the model, how many women on this cruise were going to be absolutely gorgeous? Maya was starting to wonder about her simple, tomboy look again. At least Amanda didn't strike her as the type to throw it in her face.<br>Harmony seemed a little on the serious side at first, but after talking to her a little she decided it was just how genuine she was. A nurse, that made sense. Maya could feel a lot of care from the only woman in the group older than she was. <br>Leah also seemed a little quiet at first, but what does one expect after so many hours of flying. But after enough goofy faces, and bad jokes, she felt they got to know each other decently well for a short conversation.<br>Rachel seemed fun, young, and pretty, and smart to boot. Easy to get along with. She could tell just from talking to her that she was smart, and really cared about what she put her mind to. Something Maya always admired, as she found it hard enough to focus on writing a Christmas card, let alone doing any paperwork. It was a good thing soccer came so naturally to her.<br>Kelli, the California surfer girl. Maya felt she could relate to her right off the bat, she always got along with the surfers around her hometown. Maya knew a lot of beaches not far from Auckland that were choice for surfing, and spent a lot of time there. She had even gone out on the waves a few times. She wasn't a competitor or anything, but she could manage to go out and come back in without wiping out.<br>Valkyrie probably had the longest name she had ever heard, and it definitely stuck out as she was the last to join their group. She had traveled privately until the last leg. Which made sense when she said she was a member of <em><strong>the</strong></em> Thornton family. Maya didn't mention that she did not recognize the Thornton family. She had a feeling it would get the same reaction from the group as saying she didn't know who Matt Damon is. But at least she was down to earth about it, and she didn't immediately get upset when she called her "Val" for short. She found out she had children back at home. Maya liked that, she had always liked kids. Not to mention her body still looked amazing after two kids... That may have been a little intimidating.<br>All together, she could only imagine how hard this choice was going to be for Clover, when she met all of these women.<br><br>When they arrived at the yacht Maya couldn't keep her jaw from dropping. She had never seen a boat so big, that wasn't a commercial cruise liner. To think that one person owned this was not short of mind boggling. She almost felt intimidated to step on board for fear that someone would run out and tell her she needed to buy a ticket. But then they were met by a friendly man who introduced himself as the captain. Nope, this wasn't some kind of crazy dream after all. This was really happening. She was stepping on the most grand vessel she had ever seen, in hopes to find love, along with a group of the most beautiful women she had ever met. <strong>”...zowie…”</strong><br><br><strong>”What about the option of getting a drink, while we settle into our rooms and get changed?”</strong> Maya teased to the group, as she wheeled her luggage on. She was currently in cut off shorts, and a comfy long sleeved white shirt, so changing definitely sounded like a good idea. She felt really out of place dressed like this on such a luxury yacht. That would likely change soon enough.<br>She pulled her luggage to the first room they had been pointed to that wasn't a private sweet and stepped inside. The fact that it was a suite with two beds didn't take away from the suite aspect. The room was grand! Probably one of the best she had ever stayed in. Her energy level and excitement was boosted again as she inspected the beautiful room, and she poked her head out the door, back to the girls still on the deck.<br><strong>”I got a double sweet fit for a king here, who's gonna be stuck with me for the next few weeks?”</strong> she joked, wearing a big grin. She targeted the first girl that was in line of sight, which happened to be Harmony.<br><strong>”What do you say Pleasant? Think you can handle sharing a room with a nut?”</strong> then she winked to the other woman before disappearing back in the room, leaving the door open.<br><br>She made her way to one of the grand beds. Dropped her backpack on the ground, and tumble into the bed, with a big, satisfied smile on her face. <strong>”Oh man, does it get any better than this?”</strong> she asked the room in her thick, New Zealand accent.

Harmony answered.<br><br>"Mmmhmm.&nbsp; Might be.&nbsp; Might be but I bet if'n you think about if for a spell instead of answering right up we might get somewhere.&nbsp; In the meantime these peas ain't going to shell themselves."&nbsp; Nana watched her granddaughter move off the rail and sit cross-legged on the porch at her feet, just like her mama and her aunties and uncles and her cousins had all done one time or another.&nbsp; Nimble fingers used to working with the tiniest of patients all the way up to kids grown in all but the eyes of the law began to snap the peas in inch long segments.<br><br>"I guess it's really for," Harmony answered after a few dozen snaps.&nbsp; "Scared for me.&nbsp; Nana, I've never even flown before and now I'm going halfway around the world to meet some woman and maybe fall in love with her and she with me?&nbsp; And she's white.&nbsp; And rich.&nbsp; And - and just everything, Nana.&nbsp; What if she doesn't like me?&nbsp; What if none of them do, or if they make fun of me?"<br><br>"You keep up talking like that, girl, and best you go inside and get your old plastic barrettes so I can put your hair up like you're six again," the old woman scolded.&nbsp; "Say it."<br><br>"Nana," she protested and stopped when her grandmother rapped the top of her head with her knuckles.&nbsp; <br><br>"Say it."<br><br>"Yes'm.&nbsp; I am somebody.&nbsp; I was somebody when I came and I'll be a better somebody when I leave.&nbsp; I am powerful and I am strong and I worked hard to deserve to be here.&nbsp; I have things to do and people to meet and places to go."&nbsp; Harmony snapped a pea almost angrily.&nbsp; "You're telling me I shouldn't care what any of them think about me."<br><br>Nana shook her head and the hand that had rapped Harmony now soothed the younger woman's head, old fingers pushing through Harmony's thick, natural hair.&nbsp; "No.&nbsp; You should and you better care what they think about you because you better be preaching the gospel with your actions and how you treat them.&nbsp; Harmony, you got a powerful uphill road to walk and ain't no one but you can do it.&nbsp; I can't do it.&nbsp; Your mama can't do it.&nbsp; Only you can, and you will, and when you get to the top and look back won't none of what you worrying about now matter none."<br><br>"Only worry you need to have is how you're going to convince Pastor Evans to marry you and her if it comes to it.&nbsp; Now finish up them peas and let's get to cooking."<br><hr><strong>Name:</strong> Harmony Pleasant<br><strong>Location/Time:</strong> The Deck and Suite / Arrival<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Maya &amp; others as they desire<br><strong>Wearing:</strong> Black high-waist flare trousers with a denim shirt tucked in.<br><br><em>Thank you, Jesus</em>, Harmony said to herself when Maya didn't just prevent an awkward moment but snuffed it out before it ever caught on fire.&nbsp; No one was overtly averse to sharing a room with her, or talking, or laughing or anything but when it came down the intimacy of lodging there was going to be a selection process and, well, Harmony was different and that made it awkward.&nbsp; Maya genuinely didn't seem to care and Harmony loved that about her already, almost as much as her sometimes raw sometimes sweet accent.&nbsp; It wasn't exactly Australian Harmony thought but it was pretty close.&nbsp; Kind of like the difference between someone from Alabama and Mississippi.&nbsp; Maybe a little more pronounced but a close enough analogy for Harmony to grasp.<br><br>"Can't abide brownies without nuts in them," she answered with a smile that had more than a trace of relief in it.&nbsp; "I can handle them just fine."&nbsp; Harmony nodded to the others and followed Maya into the suite they were going to share.&nbsp; Taking a chance, Harmony flopped down on the same bed as Maya, leaving their heads more of less side by side.&nbsp; "Thank you," she said and turned her head to look at Maya from just a foot away.&nbsp; "I mean, some of them are sort of pushing thirty but I wasn't looking forward to, well, I reckon you know what I mean.&nbsp; Your team, soccer you said?&nbsp; A lot like our group age wise, right?"<br><br>"That's got to be tough.&nbsp; I mean, you're - we're - not old but it seems like it when the just barely twenties crowd comes around."<br><br>

				<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/NxaLBd2.jpg)</div>Name: Leah Rivers (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=287870.msg14155025#msg14155025)<br>Location/Time: JFK, London and on to the Linea.<br>Tagging: Shoko, Tory, and everyone<br>Wearing: Loose comfortable t-shirt with saying: "It was just a Dream", soft dark blue linen trousers with an elastic waist and draw string, sandals.<br><br>Leah sighed as she entered the JFK terminal, looking around as she walked through the crowd, she has 4 hours to kill before catching her connecting flight.&nbsp; She knew there were other ladies joining the cruise contending, not really contending, more like presenting themselves to Clover for consideration.&nbsp; &nbsp;Why did she let her friends talk her into this again? OH right, she hasn't been on a real vacation in years, Clover and her offer was interesting and at the very least she gets a cruise with a bunch of lady loving, lovely ladies out of it, win-win situation.&nbsp; And maybe she comes out of it with a relationship for a bonus.<br><br>Her business was in good hands while she was away, her cats were with friends, and she wasn't allowed to bring any electronics but her smartphone, which she had loaded several good books on for reading.&nbsp; She had several changes of clothing, several new 2 piece bikinis and from what she had researched about yachts, she would be able to clean her clothes regularly and they would be sailing the Mediterranean, plenty of places to put to port.&nbsp; But for now, food was of the essence, she would find a nice salad place and waste as much time as possible eating.&nbsp; Then she would stake out the lounge for her connecting flight and see if she could spot any others.<br><br>As she was sitting in the lounge of American Airlines flight 104, she made note of all the people wandering in and joining the wait for boarding.&nbsp; She was reading a book off of her Galaxy, making guesses about which women were part of the bachelorette cruise.&nbsp; She had a simple criteria, look for the pretty women who weren't in business suits or with family.&nbsp; She had a good half dozen candidates from among the passengers and all of them seemed nice.&nbsp; Her guesses grew stronger as all of her picks were seating in the same area of business class.&nbsp; The ladies where of various social classes and heritages, this spoke very well of Clover.&nbsp; She was looking forward to the trip even more. <br><br>Aurora Vega, Rory, was the first one to break the ice with her, coming over and introducing herself.&nbsp; They hit it off pretty quickly, talking about working out, cats, martial arts, science and a wide range of subjects.&nbsp; &nbsp;Leah was impressed with how much Rory has educated herself about a wide range of subjects. <br><br>The second person Leah hit it off with pretty quickly was Shoko Oba, they both played board games and got into comparing different board games and styles of play.&nbsp; Leah learned that Shoko's favorite board game was Dominion, which she had played and thought it was well designed game with lots of replayability. <br><br>Leah met the others, but hasn't had a chance to sit down and talk with them much yet, all of them are nice and intelligent. She was sure she would find things to talk with each of them over time.&nbsp; They had a 6 hour flight ahead, although poor Kelli passed out almost as soon as she sat down, she had come over from california.&nbsp; Finding out Harmony was from Houston, Leah got to play who had the worst traffic, Harmony won but Austin was catching up.&nbsp; Amanda was a model, and Rachel was a sweet lady from Cleveland.<br><br>Arriving at Heathrow, they met up with the last three ladies to be joining in on the Bachelorette Cruise.&nbsp; Maya, Valkyrie and Mila, three more interesting ladies.&nbsp; Valkyrie was from the Thornton family and being in the financial world she has heard of the Thornton's and of her family's wealth, as a little league player checking on the big leagues.&nbsp; Mila was a dancer from Russia, hopefully she can escape their repressive laws.<br><br>Maya was another ice breaker, we had barely joined up when she going around and introducing herself and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help laughing at Maya's silly faces and jokes. <br><br>Unfortunately, after that her energy started flagging and she slept for a lot of the rest of the trip, dozing next to Rory.&nbsp; It was a shame she was asleep for the private plane leg of the trip, because she had never had the chance to travel in a Gulfstream before, from what she remembered, it was FANCY.&nbsp; During the last leg of the trip to the yacht she woke up and got to see the Linea as they pulled up to it.&nbsp; It was HUGE, the name yacht doesn't do it service.<br><br>When the captain informed them that they would have to double up, except for two who had requested a private suite, Leah immediately turned toward Rory, <strong>"Shall we room together?"</strong>&nbsp; She smiled softly and shrugged her shoulders, causing her large, firm breasts to press against her t-shirt.&nbsp; <strong>"I think I can survive rooming with you,"</strong> she tried for a joking tone, but it might have fell flat, not quite the playfulness necessary. <strong> "I am looking forward to stowing this suitcase somewhere I can't see it for at least a month and getting into fresh clothes."</strong><br><br>After she but her stuff in a suite, she would take a quick shower to wash off the feel of travelling and then change into a yellow 2 piece string bikini with white deck shorts and a long, flowing nearly see thru white blouse that was only partly buttoned up as she joined the other ladies at the bar where she got a glass of water as she waited with the others to meet Clover for the first time.

				<div class="floatleft">(https://static.f-list.net/images/charimage/10639572.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Shoko Oba<br><strong>Location/Time:</strong> JFK / Time of Arrival<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Leah, Maya, Aurora (Mentioned), Harmony (mentioned) Open<br><strong>Wearing:</strong> Pictured<br><br>Shoko looked nervous as she walked onto the flight departing from JFK airport, her mind still full of questions. With how she had never really traveled anywhere since she was three, she hardly even knew if she had packed enough. At least it seemed to easily get her past the TSA with how she had crammed their rules in the past day or so. Nonetheless, the bumbling bookworm was starting to feel she might have been quite screwed if there weren't any laundry devices on the yacht.<br><br>It didn't exactly help that she was still confused how she had managed to get picked in the first place. The women she noticed upon sitting in her seat that the other six she could discern looked so talented and beautiful. Being so caught up in cavalcade of thoughts, it was a wonder she managed to even remember to set her smartphone to airplane mode. Not to mention, she adorably jumped a bit in surprise as the causally dressed brunette from behind her suddenly greeted her. The bashful recluse was a stuttery mess coming into the conversation with the attractive business owner. However, it slowly became a bit easier when she was talking to another introvert that shared an interest in tabletop games. She rarely went outside, but the bespectacled girl had easily kept up with the trends using sites like Board Game Arena and programs such as Tabletop Simulator. <br><br>Things weren't as good on the Gatwick departure however. Shoko cutely shivered as a very energetic blonde suddenly wrapped her arm around her, taking a large "Cloud-sized" blade to her personal space. The poor girl then felt as she was socially crushed by someone that was clearly leagues ahead of her in the confidence needed to survive such a world. Nonetheless, she wasn't exactly bold enough to pull away, making it look fine. She felt rather awkward when she really had the complete opposite in interests compared to her.<br><br>Hence, she was already deciding to take a break from branching out once the plane had landed. She would try to take it easy on the final bit of the journey what was to a presumably a very grand boat from what she had looked up. Most of the other woman didn't really seem to have some common subject she could latch onto anyway. Hence, she never really got to know that Aurora was a huge cat fan and an avid scholar despite being a seemingly very tough bodyguard or that Harmony was almost as flustered about this as she was. <br><br>Hopefully she would get to know everyone better at the massive boat she was left in awe at somehow. Shoko was feeling rather awkward though as she realized was one of the only two people not bothering to share a suite. Sure it meant she could stick to her reclusive living ideals, but she was quickly starting to wonder if maybe it was a terrible choice regarding her meager goals. The stumbling nerd turned to hopefully talk to Leah again, only to lightly blush as she looked at the exact moment to give her good guess of what she had under her shirt. Nonetheless, with the only one she had managed to make contact with already walking off, Shoko sadly walked off to her suite to change. <br><br>She would eventually come out wearing a simple white t-shirt and a blue modest skirt. The wary bookworm was already growing several levels in nervousness as she realized the main reason she was here would be coming eventually. She really hoped she didn't screw up now, though the shivering woman was looking far from confident.

She usually did this whenever she was traveling anywhere, wether it was for a photo shoot or a show. She attempted to get as much beauty sleep as she could during the flight, not that she needed it in her own opinion but she had to look her best for their host. Speaking of the host, Amanda was anxious to get to meet Clover. As was the rest of the girls she presumed, some of which she had a chance to talk to during the flight. Despite how friendly and beautiful they all were, she couldn't help but think of them as competition. As if they were rivaling models fighting for a photo shoot.<br><br>She finally turned off the autopilot as soon as they all stepped onto the yacht. The photos did not do it justice, it was truly impressive. Carrying her luggage across the deck she dumped them at the first empty suite she could find before returning to the others. <strong>"There's an extra bed in my room"</strong> she chimed out as she went to the bar to get a cocktail. She took in the sight of the other girls as she carefully sipped away. She was going to enjoy the trip very much so. Even if she didn't end up with her prize, she figured there would be more than enough to keep her entertained.<br>

Going through with the whole thing in the first place, now that had been the difficult part. Ask her to jump from a plane, scale a cliff, or face unknown terrain and hidden combatants, and she'd be on it. Ask her to take a simple chance, one that could affect her heart above all, and suddenly courage was much harder to come by.<br><br>What had come over her to inspire her to apply to something that seemed a one in a million chance? Again, if she were to be honest, it had been entirely the doing of her very best friend in the whole world. The guy that had stood by her side and helped her to fight one uphill battle after another through the years. They'd gone through school together and when the time came had gone off to Annapolis together. They'd been forcibly parted when the time for active duty came, at least to begin with, but then fate had seen them right back into each other's lives. Had seen to it that when she'd needed a serious wake up call that the person who knew her best in the world had been right there to deliver it. Now he was a happily committed man in a polyamourous relationship with a great guy and a lovely woman, both of whom she considered friends as well, and somehow his new lifelong goal had become seeing to her own romantic potential. <br><br>Rory smiled, a lopsided and altogether goofy expression, as she recalled her bestie's overly enthusiastic pep talk when he'd informed her that he'd essentially signed her up for a dating game minus the television cameras. Disbelief had been the chief emotion amongst her feelings on the matter along with amusement, denial, and even outright dismissal given her actual chances of being chosen. But then she'd gotten a reply and in that instant it had all seemed to set in. <br><br>She knew that this didn't have to be anything major. It didn't <em>have</em> to change anything in her life. She could come and enjoy her time, essentially taking a vacation while meeting some new people and then return home and go right back to her life as if it had never been interrupted. It would be easy enough. However, Rory had boarded the first plane with a sense that she didn't want this to be nothing. Used to embracing the turns of her life fully, Captain Aurora Vega, was not the sort to do things by half measures and long shot or not, she wouldn't half-ass this either. She would give herself a genuine shot at the sort of life she wanted for herself. One where she had the sort of happiness her best friend had showed her was possible. <br><br>The flight from Vegas had been a little cramped. Economy wasn't exactly designed for those who were more long of leg no matter what the airlines tried to claim. However, she'd spent most of the flight playing cards (and lost most of her peanuts in the process) and drawing with the little girl seated next to her, helping to distract her from her fear of flying as much as she'd helped take Rory's mind off the feeling of being stuffed in like a sardine. That flight had ended with a wave and smiles so it was all good, though she had relished the walk to her next gate just as much as she'd appreciated the view once she'd clued into her unknowing travel companions. It really wasn't that difficult to discern either. A bunch of ridiculously good looking women, all seated relatively close... the math was easy for Rory. Of course, that wasn't what led her to strike up a conversation with a few of the women. No, that was pure Rory, plain and simple. <br><br>At ease, Rory had simply made it a point to introduce herself to those who seemed open to such things. She didn't make a nuisance of herself, her bearing and demeanor were far too relaxed for that, too comfortable to extend to being overly perky or intrusive at this juncture. Instead she deliberately kept it chill and easy, knowing she could come off intense and somewhat intimidating without the added effort. Still, even in doing so she found herself somewhat surprised when the usual small-talk extended into true conversation with a few of the women. Leah, in particular, a stunning woman with a brain to match, managed to lure Rory in. If anyone had ever suggested the tough as nails Captain would go to absolute goo over cat pictures, they'd have likely been met with laughter. However it was the truth. As one of those long nursed unfulfilled childhood wishes, Rory had a notable weakness for adorable pets in general but most especially those of the feline variety. There was more to the conversation than that of course, which led Rory to feel at least a small sense of camaraderie with the woman. And Maya too seemed like she might prove to be just the right partner in crime on their excursion to keep things interesting. At the very least she didn't seem the sort to let things go stale which was a bonus as far as she was concerned. Others were harder to read and Rory did not bother to push during their travel time, leaving them to their devices, books, or thoughts for now. There would be plenty of time get to know the others later.&nbsp; <br><br>The rest of the trip, though lengthy enough, passed in a relative blur. Some part of that time Rory half dozed beside Leah, while the rest she spent doodling and trying to figure out how in the world she'd lost so many peanuts to a ten year old. Finally they made it to the yacht itself and Rory felt a weird sort of surrealism settle over her. Being on the water wasn't new to her but the yacht was far more upscale than any vessel she'd ever been on, yet somehow it still brought back a flood of impressions that were just shy of outright memories. Staying quiet for the moment, she hitched her backpack up higher on her shoulder and glanced about as things were pointed out. The mention of room accommodations and the fact that most of them would have to bunk up brought a single brow up to arch high in a&nbsp; look that didn't quite remain innocent.<br><br>"Hmm?" It was Leah's voice that brought Rory's head around in the end, her hand rising to her cap where she idly pulled it off and replaced it as if it required adjustment. "With you? Sure thing, mami. Lead the way." She gave an idle salute to the others and followed after the other woman to their chosen suite. Once there she made quick work of unpacking her things as Leah went to shower then ditched her blazer and ducked out. Sure, she could have changed or lingered in the suite but at the moment she didn't feel it necessary. She was plenty comfortable in her clothes and anxious to meet her host and get to know more of what all their lovely little cruise vacation was really going to entail. Call it habit, or just being OCD, but she liked to know as much as possible up front before she really got going. She'd been careful to manage her expectations with regard to this whole adventure, but she was truly ready to dive in... once she knew fully what she was diving into.<br><br>Heading to the bar she ordered a strawberry margarita before finding a chair on which to perch, her long legs stretched out comfortably before her. Almost out of habit she positioned herself so that no one could sneak up on her without coming from the water itself but other than that her expression remained open and friendly.</span>

Home &gt; Flights &gt; Linea<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br><strong>Wearing:</strong> A dark blue blouse buttoned only up to the last two top buttons tucked into light blue jean shorts and black sandals with a one piece white bikini underneath the outfit (With the top of the bikini showing through the opening of her blouse)<br><br>Melbourne, Australia.&nbsp; It was a land down under but also a land of competition to Kelli.&nbsp; Her major qualifying surfing tournament was happening just a week before her trip so even though she already received the invitation to join the cruise, she tried to focus on what would make her the money at this present time and to do what she loved to do in her left all at the same time.&nbsp; She knew that she had to give her all in order to make it into the elite ranks of the Women's World Surfing Tour.&nbsp; She had to give her best effort out in the waves because if she didn't, than she would be back in the qualifying rounds and not be able to get to the big bucks that the elite professional surfers can make.&nbsp; If she could make her last wave count, than she was thinking that she would be sure to make it.&nbsp; Many thoughts rode in her mind as the wave was coming in.&nbsp; Just a day ago, she got the response from Clover that she was invited to join the cruise of a lifetime.&nbsp; To her, anything that meant major money was something of a lifetime to this point in her life.&nbsp; She was always struggling to make ends meet.&nbsp; To complicate things, living near the Bay Area meant that you had to either be a millionaire to afford the housing costs or make at least 100K a year in order to make the rents there.&nbsp; She was glad that she had some friends that helped out but now, the time was coming to an end.&nbsp; She had to make everything count... and now, it would come in this last wave.<br><br>As it crested, she felt like she got the perfect approach.&nbsp; Paddling as hard as she could while flat on her surfboard, she finally stood up and immediately went left with the wave.&nbsp; She tried to make some runs against the wave and to go forward with it but it was the last break of the wave that did her in.&nbsp; The whitewash of the wave came too quick for her on the front side as the wash enveloped her body all the way through.&nbsp; There was no more wave and now, she was lost in the wash.&nbsp; All that was left were the final scores as soon as she reached the shore and it was then that the inevitable happened.&nbsp; Looking up at the scoreboard, she found out that she didn't get a high enough score to qualify for the main tour.&nbsp; Finishing in 8th place, she was really devastated that the waves and the surfing gods were working against her.&nbsp; No interviews were given as the tournament was on world wide TV.&nbsp; It was like she was an afterthought in the sporting world.&nbsp; With the devastation hitting her almost like a ton of bricks, she finally made her way to the hotel room to check her emails.&nbsp; It was then that she started to get a glimmer of hope.&nbsp; Not only were there was one email but two from Clover.&nbsp; The first one thanked her for the invitation and the second was her itinerary to get from her home in Santa Cruz to the big cruise boat that was station in the Mediterranean.<br><br>She only had a day to make it back home but she took the 19 hour flight from Melbourne back to San Francisco and then finally had to take an Uber back home.&nbsp; Yes, the cost of the Uber was costly after 90 miles but it finally gave her the rest that she needed.&nbsp; She never unpacked from her Melbourne trip as all of her clothes were already packed in her suitcases and her backpack that carried all of her essentials.&nbsp; She regretted having to leave her surfboard home but she was gladly inspired that there was going to be some sort of surfing type of events on the cruise.<br><br>She dreaded gong over California State Highway 17 during rush hour in the morning.&nbsp; It was only two lanes in one direction for most of the trip with many winding curves and not many places to go off the side of the road.&nbsp; There were a couple of people that tried to cut her off just before she reached Lexington Reservoir but once she reached Los Gatos, it was almost smooth sailing all the way to San Jose Airport.&nbsp; Parking took about 30 minutes but once she reached the shuttle buses to the terminal, everything seemed to be feeling much better.&nbsp; TSA was always a pain but she went through them and had a quiet flight to Phoenix.&nbsp; At least she was able to catch up on some sleep through the 90 minute flight as she landed and was talking to a couple of men that seemed to recognize her through the surfing tournaments.&nbsp; She tried to keep a happy face as much as she could, it seemed that the guys were more into her body than her surfing.&nbsp; She was glad that she finally was able to get rid of them as she made her way across the terminal to catch her next flight.<br><br>From Phoenix to New York... it was a flight from hell.&nbsp; Smashed in a window seat next to two very big Samoans who happened to be Husband and Wife, she had no leg room and... well, no room to speak of.&nbsp; There was no exit and no entrance with the couple sitting next to her.&nbsp; She thought that she was going to die from claustrophobia with their arms and legs straddling close to her.. even touching them through the entire 5 hour flight.&nbsp; Once she was off of that flight, it was already 9:30 Pm in real time but it was early and a relief just to get some somewhat circulated air.&nbsp; She almost fell asleep at her seat in the terminal for her flight to London when the announcement came to board.<br><br>Finally making her way onto the plane, she was surprised that her seat was actually a bed.&nbsp; With her exhaustion, came the sleep as she was too drowsy to even meet the other women on the plane.&nbsp; She finally woke up just as the instructions came from the pilot to fasten the seat belts.&nbsp; As the plane landed in London, she was finally able to meet the rest of the women in the baggage claim.&nbsp; She made some small talk to all of them to gauge what their interests were.&nbsp; She wanted to pursue their interests further but it was off to another flight.&nbsp; She lost sight of two of the women but during the other flight, she was awake enough to make some conversation.&nbsp; There was the shy Shoka who seemed to love tabletop games.&nbsp; &nbsp;She had to remember that later on as she just listened for that time.&nbsp; There was also Maya who she really connected with.&nbsp; This was a woman who seemed to love a lot of what she loved to.&nbsp; She was glad that May could surf and hearing her describe the beaches of her home in New Zealand really entranced her.&nbsp; She really loved Maya's accent but she never really admitted that to her up front.&nbsp; Maybe soon?<br><br>As they all finally reached the boat, Kelli was stunned at how marvelous it looked.&nbsp; This boat was like a dream come true to her!&nbsp; Never in her life could she afford to go on a boat like this... let alone a cruise.&nbsp; She heard the Captain give his introductions along with a few of the women that were not sharing rooms start to pair up together.&nbsp; Though it seemed that Maya was pairing up with Harmony, she let that slip aside as she took the next room up.&nbsp; "Anyone else want to chill with me through the trip... whoever's left?&nbsp; I don't mind... and I don't bite."&nbsp; She playfully admitted as she brought her suitcases and her backpack into the room.&nbsp; <br><br>It didn't take her long to get comfortable as she was already dressed for the cruise.&nbsp; The only thing that she did was to take off her blouse and throw it on top of her suitcases.&nbsp; The rest of her outfit stayed intact as she came back out and slightly giggled.&nbsp; I guess I'll find out who my mystery room mate is going to be later.&nbsp; For now, time to have some fun at the bar.&nbsp; Who's with me?"&nbsp; She asked as she made her way to the bar while not looking back to see who would be following her.&nbsp; Maybe she would meet Clover there?&nbsp; If not, she was destined to have a good time that afternoon.. whether everyone else liked it or not.

				The hills above Marbella were alive with the sound of a V12 engine as Clover pulled the gear paddle behind the steering wheel to change down a gear for a corner. She was extremely nervous and had decided to go out and do what she liked best. Drive. Cars were her big passion and having driven the Ferrari 812 Superfast (https://www.thenational.ae/image/policy:1.530586:1499852925/Lf13-Ferrari-superfat.JPG?f=16x9&amp;w=1200&amp;$p$f$w=4b22421) from her apartment in London to Marbella two days ago, she was now enjoying some quiet mountain roads. If she had stayed on the Linea, waiting for her guests, she knew she’d explode from the nerves so she had come up with this plan. Go out, relax and made a grand entry when everybody was already on the boat. Minutes ago she had gotten the text message from Giacomo saying that the guests had arrived so Clover had turned around and was making her way back to the marina. Once she got out of the corner, she floored the pedal, roaring the massive engine before going hard on the brakes again before the final corner before the town. <br><br>Ten minutes later she turned into the marina, slowly driving around all the tourists making pictures towards the end of the harbour. The Linea looked good, towering over the other yachts, her shiny blue hull making her look bigger than she already was. Clover parked the car, knowing that later that day a transport company would load the car into a lorry and take it back to London. She opened the door and got out. As she looked at the deck of her boat, she took off her sunglasses and took a deep breath. <br><br>Show time. <br><br>She was wearing short jeans, black sneakers and a white loose top. Haute Couture wasn’t really her thing. Clover made a playful sprint towards the boarding plank and quickly got over it to get on the main deck of the Linea, right amidst the girls she had invited. After a playful bow, she introduced herself, waiting for everybody to have gathered. <br><br><div class="floatright">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/1f/65/63/1f65639178cc4d30ebfeba5338d5b6d8.jpg)</div><br>“Hi girls. I’m Clover. Please have a seat…”<br><br>She motioned towards the circular bench around the small pool.<br><br>“So.. ehm.. Well first of all.. Thank you all for coming. I know it’s been a long journey for most of you but at least some of you have already had the chance to get to know each other. I really hope that the boat is what you had expected of it and more importantly, I hope that I can live up to your expectations as well.”<br><br>Clover sat down herself as the last of the girls sat down and continued. <br><br>“I’m not going to lie, I am a bit nervous. So many wonderful, pretty women and all for me. I realise that puts a bit of pressure on me but I can promise you I’ll do my best. Before we set off, there is a few things we have to talk about. The lowest deck and the bridge are off limits, alright, this is crew only. This is the main deck, which is fully accessible. There’s a cocktail bar, a dining table and an indoor lounge. The deck above this has my private quarters, which are off limit unless invited and an outdoor lounge at the back, which is open for you. One deck below here is where the crew sleeps at the front, this is off limits and at the back there is a gym and a theatre which you can use at your leisure. The jetski’s, surfing equipment and diving gear is there as well. Please don’t use those while the boat is moving.”<br>Clover plucked her t-shirt and put her sunglasses on the bench next to her. <br><br>“You have already met the captain, Giacomo Pirlotti. His daughter, Laura, is the cocktail waitress and will be on duty from the afternoon to the evening to serve us with drinks and snacks. Antonio is a deckhand to help Giacomo with the smooth running of the vessel. In the kitchen we have Pascal Baretta and his son and Bella DiMaria is the chambermaid. That is I believe all the staff we have on board. Both Laura and Bella are very good masseuses as well, so if you want a massage, just ask one of them and they can set you up on the deck or in the gym.”<br><br>All the staff had gathered on the deck for the small introduction except the chef, who was busy preparing dinner as his son said. <br><br>“Now for the boring bits. This vessel is almost brand new and this will be her first big tour. In the highly unlikely event of an emergency, you follow the orders the staff gives you. The ship is new, the crew is experienced so listening to them will save your life. In case somebody falls overboard, you will throw them a buoy and a life vest and yell ‘man overboard, man overboard’. If you are in the water, do not under any circumstances swim near the back of the ship while the engines are running. It’s probably the most sensible thing in your mind as you can get back on board there, the screws of the engine will suck you under and mince you and I quite like the looks of all of you as you are now.”<br><br>She made a playful giggle and took a mojito from the tray that Laura was serving. <br><br>“I think that’s all for now. If you have any questions, now or later, just ask me or the crew.”<br><br>Clover took a big sip of the mojito, letting the fluids moisten her mouth and cool her down before swallowing. Then she gave a nod to the captain who immediately began to order the crew around in Italian to get the ship moving. <br>

If there was one fortunate thing though, it was, upon turning, that the flustered recluse found that she wasn't exactly under-dressed for the occasion. Nonetheless, she cutely scrambled to take a seat on the nearby bench as she was instructed. <br><br>The shy bookworm listened attentively as the equally nervous heiress spoke of the rules of the boat, clearly not wanting to screw up. Shoko had a large feeling she would be sticking to the theater a lot for the next few weeks. However, the frazzled nerd was already mentally stopping herself as she would have to unfortunately focus on the less mentally-focused activities if she hoped to get anywhere. Then again, she knew Leah liked tabletop games and hopefully Clover did too. A copy of Dominion was already in her suitcase anyway. Either way, the thought of getting a massage from one of the attractive female staff was making her lightly blush.<br><br>"I-It's not ex-exactly about the sh-ship, but....do y-you like board g-games?...." She slowly asked, looking rather embarrassed of her natural stutter. Nonetheless, the poor girl felt if she didn't say anything now, that she would never try anything again in the future. However, she still felt her nervous tic wasn't exactly attractive compared the situations in the numerous anime she had watched.

It may not have been the cutest look in the world, but the grin was the result of her using all the restraint she had to not say <em>...I’ll be the nut in your brownie anytime, love… </em> it just didn't seem appropriate. They had only just met each other, and it's not like they were in some seedy, downtown pub, where such things were expected. They were on a luxury yacht, and they were here specifically to meet Clover. Harmony may not be as amenable to universal flirting as she was. So she thought she could contain herself.<br>At least until she felt the bounce of another body rolling into her bed…<br><br><em>...maybe I should have used the brownie line after all… </em><br>Even though her brain rushed to deflate her impulse to just turn and press in close to Harmony’s soft, warm body. Find out how her skin…<br><em>...ok, rein it in girl… </em><br>Thankfully what Harmony was talking to her about was actually thoughtful and sincere enough to distract her. In fact she actually chuckled up at the ceiling as she thought about it.<br><br><strong>”You don't know the half of it! Our goalie and me are the only women on the team who are over thirty!”</strong> then she turned her head so that she was facing Harmony, the same way she was facing her.<br><strong>”You know, we just signed a girl for the next season, she's nineteen!”</strong> she announced with wide eyed humor, before letting out a little laugh. Then she turned onto her side, so her whole body faced Harmony. She stuck her elbow into the pillow and rested her head up on her hand. She was now just high enough look down a little at the other woman in her bed.<br><br><strong>”But you know you can't let that get to you. There's always going to be a younger person coming up, trying to knock you down. But you know what our advantage is…”</strong> she bumped her eyebrows to emphasize the important advantage. <br><strong>”...experience. The things you can't teach. Like being able to feel when it's exactly the right moment to put a header into the top left, or top right of the goal. Or where the sweet spot is for the bicycle kick, that will make the crowd scream for the next year!... the same goes for love. You can bet I noticed all those hot, young bodies running around out there. But when it comes down to it, the ones with the most open hearts are going to be the real winners here. That's what I think. And that's something that takes a bit of life to understand, right?”</strong><br>Whether she was right or not the smile she shined to the other woman was genuine, and confident.<br><strong>”Oh, and don't let anyone make you think you're any less gorgeous than anyone else here either… “</strong> Her smile deepened a bit, and with her free hand she reached up between them, and caressed her finger under Harmony’s chin. <br><strong>”Not with eyes like those.”</strong><br><br>With a rolling motion she got up into a sitting position, reached down the the bottom of her shirt and started pulling it up over her head. ”We're both drop dead sexy, and we are just as likely to find love on this cruise as any girl here.” she said as she tossed the shirt away, now in just her shorts and simple white bra. Then she quickly rolled over Harmony, using her hands and knees to not put her weight on the other woman, and popped up to stand on the floor next to the bed.<br><strong>”Speaking of, we better get out there before all those other girls can pounce!”</strong> and began to dig a light blue, two piece, swimsuit. May as well be ready for anything. <br><br>She looked back to Harmony with a big smile and put a hand out to her. <strong>”C’mon Pleasant, let's go meet the woman of our dreams.”</strong><br><br>***********<br><br>When they were both ready, Maya headed to the bar area with Harmony. She was now wearing a white t shirt and the same cut off shorts, but now with her bathing suit underneath it.<br>It seemed like most of the other women were already at the meeting place, getting their drinks. Maya noticed Kelli at the bar with open spots next to her, and made her way over, grabbing the unclaimed stool. <strong>”Are we going for a swim? I knew it was a good idea to put my suit on!”</strong><br><br>Maya had almost expected Clover's arrival to be announced with trumpets and a red carpet. So when the casually cute girl arrived, dressed pretty similar to the way she was, it took her a moment to comprehend it. But when it did set in, it set in with a warm relief. She knew that this was a woman she could get along with, and that brought a wide smile to her face as Clover went over her introduction. <br>The instructions were pretty straight forward, if not a mouthful for the poor girl that had to deliver them. <strong>”I have a question not about the boat too… We’ve all gotten to meet each other, are you ready to come have a sit down so we can get to know you now?”</strong> she asked with a wink as she patted an open seat near her with her hand.

She asked curiously, not sure which she would prefer more as the ship glided out of the harbor.&nbsp; If they made port everyday or so, there would be an escape from the others, on the other hand if they stayed out at sea, they could exist in a bubble and be more free to open up to each other.

She had to admit, when she first got the application, she wasn't a hundred percent sure if it would be wise to invite Shoko. The girl had freely admitted that she was shy and wanted to open up but Clover wasn't sure if a trip like this would be the best way to do that. However, she had a good gut feeling about this one and she looked so stupidly adoring in those almost prudish clothes. She couldn't wait to get to know Shoko a bit more.. intimate. <br><br>"Well I have to admit, I don't usually play boardgames."<br><br>The question was as unexpected as the fact that Shoko actually asked it. A boat full of pretty women and she wanted to play boardgames?<br><br><em>Maybe I was right about inviting her. She's adorable.</em><br><br>"Nor do I know very many of them but I'm definitely open to learn."<br><br>Next was Maya who Clover had felt a connection with from the start. Open, friendly and, from the outside at least, an 'I-don't-really-give-a-fuck attitude'. Clover liked that. Maybe it was simply because she was from New Zealand. The people Clover knew from there and Australia had a very pleasant attitude towards life and basically everything. Life's too good to make a fuss about everything. If only the British had a bit more of that attitude.<br><br>"Why sure, get to know me as well as you can. And let's start now."<br><br>Clover gave Maya a cheeky smile and sat down on the couch next to her while listening to Leah's question. <br><br>It was hard for Clover not to stare and feel a little bit of jealousy. There were women with ample bossom's and then there was Leah. Those two had only been part of the reason Clover had invited her on the boat though. Just a couple inches higher was an extremely pretty face which Clover was sure of, didn't get as much looks as her breasts but maybe that was what made Leah even prettier. Another reason Clover had invited her was the fact that she loved to read as well. Definitely a topic she could talk about for hours and hours. <br><br>"Oh bollocks I forgot that in my little speech!"<br><br>Clover got up again to be heard better by everybody.<br><br>"Because of the size of Linea, most marina's and ports are simply too small. Which means that we can only make port three times on this trip. The first one will be at Monte Carlo, where we, or at least I will, watch the Formula One race. The second port will be near Amalfi or Naples and the last one will be Venice. Linea does have a tender on board so if any of you want to go on land anywhere, please let me know and we can arrange the tender to take you to shore alright? Don't hesitate to ask!"<br><br>Then she sat down again and listened ot Kelli's question. All Clover saw though, was an enormous tangle of the most gorgeous curls she had ever seen. She had basically accepted Kelli, purely on the picture. The fact that she liked to surf, just like Clover, was all the better. That super pretty smile was just the topping on the cake really. <br><br>"I wouldn't even know how to play them," she laughed at Kelli's first comment.<br><br>The second question took a bit of thinking. It really was the million dollar question to Clover and one that she had been struggling to answer to herself for quite a while now. Her mood changed a bit, from the cheerful strong host to a bit more of a little insecure girl. She took a sip from her almost empty glass and looked around to all the girls. <br><br>"Honestly?"<br><br>She paused, half waiting for the answer she already know. <br><br>"This. I mean, yes I love cars, I love surfing almost as much as you do, I love reading a good book, I love animals and I'm very active in many conservation projects but those are all things... I like them but having grown up doing them, I'm not sure if they still make me really happy. Being here with you girls, I can honestly say, makes me happy. It probably sounds stupid but life in wealth and the spotlights can be extremely lonely.."<br><br>Clover paused. She had probably ruined the mood completely with her overshare but alas, they had already left the mooring and had just exited the marina. There was no way back now for any of them.<br><br>"But which lesbian wouldn't be happy on a boat full of gorgeous women?"<br><br>And that was Clovers childish side. Change the topic you didn't like with a lame joke. With that, she finished the last bit of her cocktail and leaned back against the couch next to Maya.

She was here to have a good time, to relax and maybe meet the lady of her dreams, as she let her eyes travel over all the women, but lingering more on Clover and Rory.<br><br>Glancing at Shoko, she made a mental note to get contact information with the shy lady, they could meet online and play games together after the cruise was over.&nbsp; There were a bunch of games that she would like to introduce to the japanese lady.<br><br>Maya and Kelli, she could definitely see herself getting along with them, going to see them compete and then sharing a dinner and drinks afterwards in celebration of a well played competition.&nbsp; &nbsp;Valkyrie, Mila and Amanda she hasn't gotten a very good feel for yet.<br><br>Looking back at Clover, Leah tried to think of another question to ask their blonde hostess.&nbsp; She has never been good at small talk, or know what to talk about at parties.&nbsp; Asking about the weather seemed silly, with the perfect weather they were having so far.&nbsp; Maybe she should ask something that everyone could answer and this would help Clover to get to know them.&nbsp; There were a bunch of world travelers in the group, she looked around at everyone as she addressed her question to everyone, "I haven't travelled much and some of you have, but where are the best beeches?"

Nonetheless it opened up further questions from the rest of the group though. Not to mention, the bashful bookworm lightly blushed as it still earned her a friendly smile from the main guest of honor. She would have mentioned the physical copy of Dominion in her suitcase, but the deck-building genre of games might not have been the best for more causal tabletop players. Still. she seemed open to learn. Such as the fact that playing games with multiple players as the requirement meant you got both the game and the beautiful ladies.<br><br>While she listened attentively to the mentions of when the boat got to port, the real conversation seemed to begin as Kelli prompted Clover to explain what made her happy. While she could mostly only relate to the part about literature, the bashful bookworm's adorable expression thrived as she couldn't deny how many lovely woman were on the boat. Especially Leah when she displayed her large reservoirs of confidence about her similarly grand chest as she give a bit of information about her past. She really should have been keeping her focus on the heiress that allowed her to be here in the first place, but her fellow introvert was taking a notable chunk of her mind as well. The shy recluse respected practicality in others. The beach question was only making her mind rife with images of everyone wearing a bikini not unlike the one under Leah's blue and shorts when she tried to call upon her near lack of outdoor experiences...

Inappropriate lines like <em>"...Yeah, I'm always ready to get wet too..."</em> ran through her mind. Fortunately Clover was able to steal her attention back as she started answering questions. But more so when she accepted her invitation to take the seat next to her. <br><br>Maya grinned and was just about to make herself a little more comfortable by putting her arm around Clover in a more intimate fashion. But right then, Clover popped up again to finish her speech, and Maya, in a display of comedy, snapped her fingers in a "dangit" expression, when her arm missed the other woman's shoulders. <br>Fortunately Clover took her seat again, and started in to some of her interests. Maya grinned and listened. Many of the things she named off were things that Maya also enjoyed, and she couldn't help thinking that she would enjoy teaching her to play truth or dare. Maya was always one of the first to pick dare while everyone else were still saying truth. But then things got a bit more genuine as she mentioned how lonely her life of extravagance left her. It was something Maya knew all too well.<br><br><strong>"Don't worry, love. I think we all have an idea of what missing that special someone feels like."</strong> Her words were soft and warm, and at the same time she reached out and placed her hand on Clover's knee. The feeling of her soft skin beneath her palm felt extra warm, and she loved it.<br>She turned her attention to Leah as she did a quick rundown of her story. Maya was still in awe of her affinity for the financial and legal understanding, because she didn't get it at all. <br>Of course she was also in awe of her awesome pair, but she had taken opportunities to get some good looks at those mama's earlier. Maybe she would take some more opportunities, when they were stuffed into a little swimsuit, but for now she could focus on the other woman's face.<br><br><strong>"Well, I'm sure I don't know beaches like Kelli does, but I've seen a lot of them while traveling for matches.

Valkyrie Thornton was an heiress.&nbsp; She grew up in the lap of luxury and never knew a day without people like Dylan Matthews taking care of her but Val was grounded because of these people too and when she told her people to spend time with their loved ones, they knew it was what they were being paid to do.<br><br>Still Valkyrie wasn't used to the lengthy process she went through when she got to the airport and when they learned they were heading to opposite sides of the airport for their separate flights, the young blonde and black-haired women hugged before separating ways.<br><br>Alone.&nbsp; In a public place without any bodyguards or assistants.&nbsp; Valkyrie wasn't used to this as it happened so rarely and while she tried to keep calm, by the time she reached the meeting place with the other women, her anxiety was driving her crazy.&nbsp; It didn't help that she was running on little sleep in the last 48 hours but Maya definitely helped.&nbsp; The older woman seemed to be talking to everybody and it always calmed Valkyrie down to have someone to talk to whether they were strangers or someone she grew up with like Dylan.<br><br>If it hadn't been for the beautiful blonde woman, Val wouldn't have been able to calm her mind enough to take advantage of the reason she chose to travel on a public plane rather than her private jet in the first place.&nbsp; On the next flight, Valkyrie observed the other women to see who her competition was but the young heiress had to be honest with herself, while she came to win Clover, it was very likely one of these women could win her heart just as well as Clover could.&nbsp; They were all beautiful, seemingly smart, and each one was different.&nbsp; Clover definitely knew how to get some contrast in her love life.&nbsp; That was good.&nbsp; It told Valkyrie the woman would be able to show her children to have open hearts as they grew up if they became life partners.<br><br>Upon arriving at the Linea, Vallyrie's exhaustion started to take hold.&nbsp; Since she was already dressed as she wanted to be for Clover's arrival, Valkyrie Thornton took a seat at the bar and immediately ordered a strawberry daiquiri before her eyes closed.&nbsp; With everything she dealt with, the brunette had learned the art of sleeping while sitting up, the only way anyone would have noticed that she was sleeping was if they looked at her eyes.&nbsp; In fact, the woman was managing to hold the daiquiri upright as everyone was speaking to Clover.&nbsp; What woke Valkyrie up was the Linea beginning to move to which Val gasped and shot up out of her seat.&nbsp; She definitely wasn't a heavy sleeper if she didn't mean to fall asleep.&nbsp; You couldn't be a mother and be a heavy sleeper if you accidentally fell asleep.&nbsp; <br><br>It only took Valkyrie a moment to realize what had happened, just enough time for Amanda to finish her sentence so she had to improvise.&nbsp; Politely she started "Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt you absolutely gorgeous women but I'd like to propose a toast!"&nbsp; Raising the daiquiri, she lifted it slightly above her eye level before continuing, "To a safe...and fun journey, our impeccable host, and the hopes we all have of finding our true love upon the Linea!"&nbsp; As she finished, she downed the entire daiquiri which had gone untouched until this point.&nbsp; Valkyrie had been known in the papers to love to start the party and this was merely normal drinking behavior for her.

Of course, in some ways the stakes here on the Linea had the potential to be just as high. Maybe it was the romantic in her but matters of the heart weren't something to be trifled with lightly. Oh, sure, Rory had done her fair share of playing about, she'd have been lying if she tried to claim anything else, but somewhere in the midst of her time in the Marines things had changed for her. Rory had changed. The more she'd tried to pretend that she hadn't, the more obvious it had become to herself. She was at a different place in her life now and that called for changes elsewhere. Which was why, when instinct had her settling back on the bench with the other women, her margarita in hand, and simply listening--she went with it.<br><br>Clover, the reason they were all on this yacht in the first place, was an interesting contrast. Playful, youthful, a bundle of energy and sunshine despite the life she led. Rory had been 100% sure what to expect of the woman even after doing a little research but it was easy to figure out the woman was quite a compelling figure when she chose to be. If nothing else, Rory was sure they could have fun together, whether romance was in the cards or not. That in and of itself was refreshing. It took the slight tension she hadn't even been aware of holding and nudged into down so that she just seemed to relax that much more. Rory wasn't the sort to force anything but she was reassured of her decision to give this all an honest try. The others seemed ready to do the same which made it all even better.<br><br>Clover opened the floor for questions to really kick things off once the necessary bits of information were given and introductions made. Oddly enough it was Shoko that spoke first. Shy, sweet, and utterly adorable to Rory's mind, the woman seemed to poke at more protective instincts in the marine. Given the way she'd kept largely to herself during the flight, Rory had wondered what it might take to draw the woman out a bit but Shoko herself had given a hint to that with her brave first question: board games. Truthfully, Rory wasn't all that well versed in the many varieties outside of the classic ones like Monopoly, Life, and those kinds but if some of the women were down to play, she'd happily join in. She never shied away from learning something new. Neither did Maya. The energetic woman had a certain charm about her that most of the others seemed to respond to. Even Rory herself didn't feel at odds with her, even if they were technically each others' "competition". If nothing else she had to grin at the woman's smoothly flirtatious ways. Her prompting was what got Clover to come over and slip off her figurative 'hostess hat' in order to settle in among her guests. <br><br>For a brief moment, Rory's eyes were pulled out to the water. The powerful engines beneath them had roared to life and begun to pull them away from the marina and Rory took a moment to enjoy the view of the receding land before refocusing on the women around her. Almost without prompting her eyes fell on Leah, right as she made a show of a certain pair of assets Rory wouldn't have minded being used against her, and inwardly she had to groan. All of the women on board were beautiful in a variety of different ways and all seemed to carry their own brand of intelligence, which was Rory's particular kryptonite, but sheesh. Somehow she'd gotten buddy buddy with the one who probably most closely mirrored what her friends back home would consider her type. She was here for Clover, so that should have been a relief of sorts but she couldn't help but wonder if her new roomie had in essence friendzoned her right from the start. If that wasn't a kick in the ego... The very thoughts breezing through her head made her grin, though she was paying attention to everyone else so she had to hide the sudden expression behind a drink from her margarita, which was mixed rather perfectly if she did say so herself. <br><br>Talk shifted to that of beaches and Rory decided that she'd been quiet long enough. Being a Marine had afforded her quite a few opportunities that she might not have had. As such she'd traveled quite a bit and had seen her fair share of beaches--though not always up close and personal. "I dunno if I'm the best judge of which is best, I'm not a hardcore beach goer but my favorite beaches are all on the big island of Hawaii. Definitely some magical spots there." She added conversationally as she shifted enough to lean forward, her elbows coming to rest on her knees. She glanced at Amanda and chuckled over her question. She hadn't gotten a strong impression of the woman thus far but she hoped that would change. The same could be said for Kelli and Valkyrie as well. There were things Rory had noted in each of the women that would make it interesting to simply have a conversation with them though for now her attention swung back to Clover, and very carefully away from Leah, curious as to what her response might be. Though the moment Valkyrie called for a toast, Rory wasn't shy about lifting her drink in a salute. "I'll drink to that." She took only another small drink afterward but grinned wide as Valkyrie downed her drink like she might win an award. <br></span>

Oh honey this is the Med. The best beaches are in Spain and Greece, the rest is gravel, rocks and pebbles. But you got a whole boat and the front helicopter deck to lay on if you want a tan. The weather should be fine. Summer in this area is usually warm and dry. Though I can't guarantee anything obviously. But when it rains, we can go inside, watch a movie or play a game."<br><br>Clover smiled. She wasn't a fan of beaches at all. They were too sandy and it got everywhere. But if going to a beach meant she could see Leah and Amanda in a nice bikini, the sand would be a very acceptable offer to make. <br><br>Rory made her suggestion about the Hawaii beaches and Clover could only agree with that. She had been there once and had fallen in love with those beaches and the tropical feel they gave. At the same time she wandered why Rory wasn't wearing something a bit.. shorter. At the application she had sent a picture with what she obviously thought was a good asset. Her abs. Clover agreed 100%. Those abs were out of this world and even before coming to the Linea she had fantasized about running her fingers over them. As she had done with Leah's twins, Amanda's pale soft skin and Valkyrie's bum. Yes she had selected the women on their features too, she was not ashamed to admit that. <br><br>Valkyrie was a bit of a mystery though and Clover had to admit inviting her had been out of curiosity as well. Both of them were well known, almost celebrities. Maybe Valkyrie a bit more than Clover and they both would inherit serious amounts of money or their parents companies. The Thornton and Devonworth group combined would make them one of, if not the largest financial company in the world and even though Clover had no interest in taking over as CEO, she couldn't help but feel a little pressure if she and Valkyrie would kick on. The media interest in them would be insane. But how Valkyrie could still look this hot and fit after having a kid was way beyond Clover. <br><br>"To true love."<br><br>She raised her mostly empty glass and smiled. Maybe she had made this way too difficult on herself. Already she felt the pressure of picking only one of these amazing women and therefor risk disappointing the others. She emptied her glass and with a gentle nod at Laura, the waitress came with another cocktail. Being comfortable next to Maya, Clover was also getting a little hot. <br><br>"I don't know about you girls but I'm getting hot."<br><br>The host leant forward, maybe giving Maya and whoever sat on the other side of her a little peek into her short jeans and at the black panties she was wearing, took off her shoes and lowered herself off the couch to the floor and let her legs and feet dangle in the water of the pool. <br><br>She looked at Kelli, mesmerised by that hair again and smiled.<br><br>"So.. care to explain wat Twenty Questions is? I can honestly say I've never heard of it."

She slowly unbuttoned her shirt and then let it slide down her arms, exposing her huge, firm ladies that are barely being contained by a yellow string bikini top that looks a size too small against Leah's huge breasts.&nbsp; She was watching how Clover reacted to her uncovering her twins, although her eyes did take a quick glance over to Rory to see how she reacted as she brought her hands down to her shorts, unbuttoned them, pushed them over her hips and let them slide down her long, toned legs.&nbsp; At 5'8", Leah was tall for a woman and it seemed that most of her length was made of her toned legs.&nbsp; She stepped out of her shorts, laying on the floor around her feet, and down into the pool, having no problem balancing herself as she walked down the stairs to the middle of the pool.&nbsp; Once she reached the middle, she dipped down to wet down her torso before standing back up, letting water slide down her smooth skin as she turned to see if anyone else was going to join her in the pool.<br><br>"Shoko, can you hand me my drink?"&nbsp; She asked with a tilt of her head.

She hadn't really even had a glass of anything, but the waitress then dropped in her hand what looked to be a glass of orange juice for her. Hence, she raised her glass along with them, sputtering out "T-To true l-love...". The meek bookworm only took a nice sip though. She had never gulped down a glass of anything besides that one time she ate something extra spicy and had to almost vacuum down the milk. <br><br>Nonetheless, the scanning recluse noticed as Clover slipped off her shoes and took a lower seat closer to the pool. Her shifting gaze was soon brought to focus on Leah though as she mentioned that she was going in the pool. The flustered nerd couldn't take her eyes away as her fellow introvert removed her blouse and shorts. The covert pervert was given a lovely view of the taller woman's legs. Most important of all though, she found herself embarrassingly staring straight at the massive orbs that bikini top looked like it was going to break from. The poor girl almost felt herself slip into a trance as she saw the water cascade down her beautiful form.<br><br>"S-Sure, Leah." Shoko miraculously managed to speak at all, adorably scrambling over to grab it. She then bent over to pick it up, unintentionally leaving her curvy rear to be defined thought her skirt. The shy woman was so distracted, she hardly noticed how the neck-hole of her shirt hinted at the E-cups her bra held. Nonetheless, she eventually stood up and held out the other woman's drink for her....only to cutely eep as she suddenly slipped in her hazy state. She was heading straight into the target of the drink retrieval, her head seeming to dive right in the direction of the thing she previously couldn't stop staring at......

With a sweet smile to the bartender, as bent over the back of the couch, inadvertently - supposedly - showing off the curve of her toned bum, well accented in her shorts, to the other women. The bartender slid her a Bahama mama, a drink she felt was appropriate for the company, and she turned to sit back on the couch with her cocktail in hand.<br><br>No sooner than she sit down again, Val shot up in a sudden gesture to the ladies, and their host, that caught Maya off guard. For a minute she had forgotten that the other heiress on the yacht was still with them, until the sudden toast. <br>Always being one to go with the flow, Maya didn't question it for long, as she raised her glass with the others. <strong>"To true love, cheers!"</strong> she was drinking from her glass when several of the girls made the exclamation that she do loved hearing from lovely women near water <em>"It's getting hot!"</em><br><br>Maya couldn't help noticing Leah again, as she stripped out of her shirt into a bikini that looked like it was doing everything it could to hold onto the woman's extra large fun bags, and it kinda made her feel like a schoolboy who just noticed boobs for the first time.<br>With Clover getting her feet in the pool, and Leah getting all of herself in the water - and in another minute the shy Shoko taking an unexpected dip into Leah's buoys - Maya knew it was time to get these clothes off. The resulting splash would get all the women anyway, no sense holding back now.<br><br><strong>"Well I'm not gonna be the only lady here not getting wet..."</strong> she declared, with a cheeky grin, as she carefully balanced her drink on her knee.<br>The next feat was a testament to the athletes balance, as she kept her drink standing on the point of her knee, as she grabbed the bottom of her t-shirt, and pulled it up over her head,&nbsp; in one fluid motion. Not so much as a drop was spilled. Then, as her shirt fell to the deck, she lifted her drink off her knee and sat it to balance on top of her head this time! She bit her bottom lip as she worked on keeping the drink straight, and her hands went down to work on undoing her shorts. The whole display was her, unapologetically, showing off, being a clown. Especially when she did the little hop to get her shorts around her bum and sliding down her legs. Her drink stayed balanced, like it was her soccer ball, without so much as a scary dip, until she was just in her bikini and snatched the drink off her head.<br>She gave the group a coy wink, staying silent about her own surprise in the trick going over as it had, as she stood and hopped down into the pool.<br><br>Now if the other ladies had begun to think that Maya had the grace and agility of some kind of hybrid cat woman, that thought might be called into question. As soon as her foot touched the bottom of the pool, it slipped, and with wide eyed, Maya went down <strong>"Bloody --!"</strong> was all she got out before her head dipped under the water.<br>A moment later her head bobbed back up into the air, she laughed the entire time. Pushing water out of her face with her free hand. Her other hand, though, was completely dry, along with the outside of her glass. As if the trick had never ended, she had managed to keep her drink held up and out of the water.<br><br>She was still chuckling as she leaned her back up against the rim of the pool, right next to where Clover has her legs dangling in the water, and took a drink from her still dry glass. <br><strong>"Kelli, I hope you know a more fun way to play twenty questions, because the way I remember was dull as a box of sand."</strong> she teased the surfer, wondering if she had just been joking earlier.

Clover blushed and quickly diverted the attention.<br><br>"But in case we do get in the water, I suggest we take the Maya approach... and safe or drinks first!"<br><br>She had gotten quite a bit of water over herself as the Japanese had bellyflopped into the water and Leah's life buoys and her bra was now showing through the wet white top. Clover didn't hesitate and took it off. Everybody was now in the water or sunbathing and there was plenty of eye candy around. Impressive breasts, wet Kiwi, wet Sushi, a gorgeous model sunbathing and now her own stomach. <br><br>"Vega, Kelli, you gonna sit there until we have dinner? Show me that body girls. No doubt it's amazing!"<br><br>The temperature, combined with the two cocktails she had already downed meant she was beginning to feel slightly warm and fuzzy on the inside, loosening up a bit more in the process. Grinning at Aurora, secretly hoping she'd soon get those abs wet and at Kelli, hoping she'd get those gorgeous girls wet she lowered herself fully into the pool, not caring about the fact that she was still wearing her short jeans and panties underneath. She didn't feel like getting changed into a bikini. <br><br>Once in the water, she put one arm around Maya and the other around Shoko.<br><br>"Thank you... All of you.. For being here."<br><br>She giggled and dipped her head under the water for a second to get her hair wet.<br><br>"And may we all have the same nerves of steel as Shoko when we want to touch Leah's amply bossom."<br><br>Playfully she planted a little kiss on Shoko's cheek, hoping the girl knew she was only kidding. <br>

The taller woman's desperate attempt to change her trajectory would only make it even more so. While her feet fortunately hit the water first, a different contact was currently on her mind. The bashful bookworm's cheeks were red as a rose garden as her face was quickly blinded in the warm embrace of her fellow introvert's notable chest! <br><br>It would remain like that for quite a bit as she felt Leah's lovely orbs effectively rub against her face as they made their way into an upright position. The flustered recluse was an adorable, sputtering mess in response to the bountiful business owner's questions. The stuttering nerd couldn't say a word, but her eyes were clearly enjoying the fact she was now nearly surrounded by two woman in bikinis and another that had removed her drenched top. Especially when the latter wrapped her arm around her. In the topic of clothing, she was thoroughly soaking wet, her pale t-shirt making her white bra rather clear. She would remain a blushing mess for just a bit longer as Clover joked about her "nerves of steel" and pecked her on the cheek. Thus, Shoko only gave a cute nod in response to the heiress's gladness that they were there.

She especially turned her attention to their enthusiastic host who, after getting a good splash, was ready to strip her shirt off and show that she just had her underwear on under her clothes before jumping into the pool herself. Maya bit her lower lip as her mind worked on ways she could convince the blonde to pull those shorts off too... for the sake of not getting them too wet... Or something. <br><br>A wide grin spread across her face as Clover slid in nice and close, and put an arm around herself and Shoko. A move that Maya was quick to imitate, as she put an arm around Clover's waist, enjoying the feel of that soft, smooth skin beneath her hand.<br>She took another long drink from her cocktail as Clover worked on getting the other girls in the water. Much to her delight, it seemed to work on Kelli. Who right away, popped up and started pulling her clothes off. In another minute the cute surfer was in the water with them, wetting down those luxurious curls. Of course the resulting splash did get her a bit, which caused her to let out another string of laughs. The only downside was that her drink took most of the water. She took one more drink, then set it aside. The taste of chlorine now pretty strong.<br><br>It all worked out though, because now she had a free hand as Kelli came swimming over to where her, Clover, and Shoko were huddled together. Then she used the free hand to wrap around Kelli's waist, and make sure the other woman was comfortably drawn into their hot huddle as well, while she explained the game. <br><strong>"Hey I'm down for the stripping version too. It would give us a reason to get Clover here, out of those shorts as well..."</strong> she half joked, with a teasing wink to the blonde heiress on her arm. <strong>"...but we can play the safe version."</strong> she then turned around in the pool and made a gesture to the bartender, who then passed her a bottle of tequila and a shot glass. Then she turned back around between Clover and Kelli. After a moment of deciding she knew she had to get some kind of rise out of one of the quieter girls, when her sights set on the body builder who was still pretty fully dressed.<br><br><strong>"Ok Rory, you had a good chunk of time to be around, and think about all the rest of the girls on our little getaway. So, out of everyone here..."</strong> she filled the shot with the clear liquid, and then set the glass down on the edge of the pool in front of Rory. <strong>"...who was the first girl you had a naughty fantasy about?"</strong> she asked with a taunting wink. A fastball, right out the gate. But then, Maya didn't get to be a great soccer player by taking it easy on anyone.

And educational. Rory felt luttle urge to rouse herself from her current vantage point but that did not mean she wasn't paying attention. Hell, she'd have had to have been dead, utterly without a pulse entirely, to have missed the lovely Leah coming out of her clothes. She might have even unconsciously licked her lips before her gaze was draw to poor Shoko who seemed to end up in the small pool before she was quite ready. At least her fall seemed to hit proper cushion...<br><br>Fuck. How the hell was she supposed to behave herself if things like this kept happening?!<br><br>Maya entered the pool next displaying enough body control that even Rory couldn't dismiss it. Smirking she saluted the futbol player and shook her head before glancing at Clover when the woman called to her.<br><br>Her expression was nothing short of devious then but her reply came smoothly even as Kelli moved to comply with the request for more skin. "You want me outta my clothes you'll have to do it yourself, Ms Clover."<br><br>Truthfully Rory's attitudes on stripping down were pretty lax. She'd simply had to get over any issues with that sort of thing far too long ago for it to matter much now. She wasn't wearing a suit but that wouldn't have stopped her if she'd trully wanted in the pool. However, she'd never been much for showing herself off either. <br><br>Things transitioned smoothly enough then. Kelli suggested a fun spin on the usual 20 questions and Rory nodded, finding it an acceptable way to pass the time. She'd thought that perhaps it might help distract her since the idea of stripping was veered away from but of course it had to be Maya who blasted that thought all to hell.<br><br>Hearing her name from the other woman's lips pulled her dark gaze and it was like she knew even before the question came. Unable to help it, Rory chuckled and saluted the athlete with a knowing look. <br><br>"Leah." The answer came softly but without any shame or remorse as her eyes unwittingly traced over to the woman. "It was back on the flight," she shrugged and didn't bother to hide the grin that popped up. "I might be a Marine but even I am not immune to the power of boobs." She joked not bothering to mention the several other things about the woman that had left a lasting impression.<br><br>With that she threw back the last of what was left of her margarita and set her cup aside. Clapping her hands once, she rubbed her hands together than and leaned forward, not avoiding anyone's gaze as she did. "Guess that means it's my turn to ask a question?" Her eyes scanned the women and settled on Shoko as she reached up to toy with her cap idly.<br><br>"Ms. Shoko, what would be your idea of a perfect date?" She asked, not intending to embarass the woman but also wanting to push her just a little bit.</span>

The flustered recluse only snapped out of it as she was suddenly the target of a question next. "M-Maybe a good m-movie...or a n-nice restaurant w-with a c-candlelight dinner...." She sputtered out. Shoko had never dated anyone before, but she still had rather romantic views of one. "Leah...wh-what is your c-cup size?..."

Maybe too much. After the alcohol she already had, the nice weather and the close proximity of so much nude skin, Rory's answer nearly had Clover squirm and grunt. Seriously, if they continued to be this honest, she wasn't sure how much longer she could control herself. Rory with Leah... <br><br><em>Focus Devonworth...</em><br><br>She hoped Shoko would come out of her shell soon. For both their sakes as right now, the Japanese didn't seem to be at ease at all. Rory and those G cups... <br><br>Clover shook her head, focussing again at the next question. Valkyrie was surprisingly honest and it surprised Clover that the Thornton's were such religious people. Their fathers were considered friends and Clover's dad had never mentioned it. Still, good for her to escape of the grasp of religion and come out. Clover hadn't even considered that Valkyrie and her driver had been involved. If they were, Valkyrie wouldn't be here. From all the others, Clover would understand that this was a once in a lifetime type of holiday and they could be in it, just for the trip but Valkyrie wasn't here for the trip, she could make it herself. <br><br>The question she was asked wasn't fair. How could she answer that? Even if she knew, which she honestly didn't, she would immediately give away that that person would have to work even harder to get to her and that would probably mean that person wouldn't be honest anymore. She sighed, took the shot glass and downed it in one go.<br><br>"I'm sorry, I can't answer that. I could have answered the cup question, or the date question or even the first fantasy question but not this one."<br><br>She looked around, trying to both think of a question and who to ask the question to. The first question that came to mind was one that she really wanted to ask all of the women here.<br><br>"Amanda..."<br><br><em>God she looks good in that outfit. Wouldn't mind showing her to the world...</em><br><br>"How come you don't have a boy or girlfriend yet? With a body and a career like yours, surely you have to swat them down like flies?"<br>

There was no ignoring the attention she suddenly got from Kelli. She had put her arm around the surfer girl's waist right away because, who wouldn't right? And a part of her did want to make sure the other athlete was nice and close as they got more and more wet. But it was that lean of the other girl's head on her shoulder, and the little comment she heard, as Kelli returned the gesture of an intimate arm around the waist.<br><br>"I'm definitely enjoying myself as well, love." She said in a low voice as she turned her head just enough to see Kelli's smiling face. Her own grin was wide and bright as well.<br>Between the two beauties on her either side, Maya knew that, come what may. This was going to be a great trip.

Rising casually the long legged bodyguard lifted her arms over her head and gave a stretch before shoving her hands into her pockets. The questions and the subsequent answers were interesting enough--a damn G cup, fuuuuuuuh--though Valkyrie's question brought Rory's attention up more sharply.<br><br>Rory could, at times, be hella competitive but even she wouldn't have asked such a quedtion out in the open. Unwittingly it caused her to shift her view of the other woman even as she wondered if it was a need to undermine the competition that had driven her to ask or whether it was something more straightforward like unchecked curiousity or just a need to know where she personally stood.<br><br>Not that Rory got to spend much tome pondering that. No, not when Leah sudden shifted and began to exit the small pool giving her a first hand look at what g cups straining behind thin wet fabric looked like. That the other woman strolled herself right on over to order another drink before moving closer to Rory's own vantage point did do much for Rory's mind either. It was far too easy to start back down the road of thinking about what her skin would feel like and if she was as soft as she looked.<br><br>Blinking, Rory aimed a lopsided smirk at the curvy beauty and chuckled. "Mmm, yeah. That view was a little better a few moments ago. Though I can't say I mind the change in perspectives. This one definitely has a few perks," she replied, turning slightly toward Leah. Her hand stayed safely in her pockets but curled into themselves as if the struggle was real, though Rory's gaze didn't stray from the other woman's face. "What are you drinking, mami?"</span>

"And.. I guess I will just say because I am really trying to avoid that shot over there" she nervously explained. "I kind of have a history for sleeping around alot" she finally admitted. "It's just such a good stress reliever when you work ten hour days in front of a camera and a douchy guy behind it" she giggled. Hopefully this wouldn't make any of the girls think less of her, though she had to realise it probably didn't sound good to Clover.

Especially as it felt as if she was held front and center for the answer as she felt her leg against her own. Nonetheless, her fellow introvert had her hook, line, and sinker as the way she phrased it filled her innocent mind with the numerous ways she could have figured that out. Then again, the bashful bookworm's face probably could have gotten a read of that earlier. <br><br>Either way, she looked with a decent amount of sympathy as Valkyrie explained her trip to becoming true to her sexuality. Besides all the bullying about it the cute Asian woman received back in her school days, she could especially understand the parental aspect. The budding nerd had almost gotten caught looking up some rather raunchy "material" numerous times when she still lived back with her folks. <br><br>Shoko was relieved though that Clover decided to just take a drink instead of making an reply to the question. The meek recluse wasn't exactly confident in her chances and a placement would have been rather crushing for her. Her calm was short-lived though as her eyes soon turned to see Leah walk off, the water cascading down her body in all the right ways. <br><br>It certainly would be gone for a while as Amanda described her casual sex habits, trapping the state of the back of her mind in an erotic fantasy. The fumbling geek was definitely thinking all the more of the model as her head currently had a nice scene of herself sandwiched between her and Leah. The growingly aroused girl's wandering eyes were now looming towards the bikini-clad woman. It was if her body was catching up on all the perverse looks it had neglected to perform before.

At least you know your limits." Rory's smile was as encouraging as it was appreciative. She herself could handle her drink, lots of it really, but it was a combination of high metabolism and sheer tolerance built up over her years in the military. Her boys could drink like damn fishes and respect was always such a curious thing amongst the ranks. She'd had to show 'em a thing or two once or twice. However, for the most part Rory practiced moderation these days. She could be stone cold sober and have a damned good time so alcohol was never particularly high on her list of must haves. Especially since having others around her start to do needlessly risky things or lose control of their emotions was the surest way to kill her buzz anyhow. No, she had nothing but respect for Leah's level headedness.<br><br>"Though now I find myself veeeeeeery curious. I mean, if liquor isn't the way to coax you out to get a little wild, what is?" <br><br>It was sort of a rhetorical question, sort of not. Rory didn't really expect to quite literally be handed the answers to getting to know Leah better but she wouldn't turn away a good clue either. That is, if she was even reading the way the other woman was looking at her right. Generally Rory didn't have any trouble in that department but for some reason she felt the urge to exercise at least a little caution. Plus, no matter how clearly she could imagine those long, shapely legs wrapped around her while Leah's nails dug into her to urge her on...<br><br>...wait. What had she been thinking about again? </span>

It was a quality that was shared by the way it hugged that cute toned ass of her's. Maya had to turn away and take another swallow of her drink in order to hide how Randy she was getting here in the pool. Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe the sun, or even the lovely ladies all around her. Probably all three combined though.<br><br>It certainly didn't help her situation when she did turn her head away and her eyes fell on Clover again. Right next to her, in that skimpy, little white bra... oh goddess, there was no escaping it.

She chided herself silently.<br><br>With a big grin to the surfer, she downed the rest of the drink she had and set it aside so that she could take the screwdriver that Kelli had brought her. First rum, now vodka. Yep, it was gonna be one of those nights.<br><br><strong>"Cheers. But honestly, I have a beautiful woman on each arm, one of whom is delivering me delicious beverages... I think if I got more lucky I would think I had died and gone to heaven!"</strong><br>Then she leaned in close to Kelli and kissed her on the cheek, lingering near her ear for just a moment. <strong>"Thanks for the drink, love."</strong> then slid back to where she was.

Before she had gone on this trip, she had spoken to a few 'experts' on how to get to know people. The one thing they all agreed on was to be comfortable and make them feel comfortable. For most of them, it seemed to be working really fine. Shoko again seemed a bit shy but the other women seemed to take her up no problem. <br><br>They all hung out at, around or in the pool until the sun was low on the horizon and Laura came out to let everybody know that dinner would be served in half an hour. Clover nodded at the black haired cute member of staff and got up from the pool. <br><br>"Dinner is in half an hour. As the sun will probably set while we're having dinner, may I suggest you get changed into something a bit warmer? Don't wear gloves or hats, but without the sun, it can be a bit chilly. I'll take a quick shower and will meet you all back here ok?"<br><br>She got up, wobbled a bit, cursed herself for already having had a bit too much alcohol and disappeared into the yacht, took the steps up to her suite and jumped in the shower.<br><br><br><br><hr><br>When all the girls were gone, the staff would lay the table. Three on either side of the table and Clover on the head of the table. It was fully made, two sets of cutlery, two plates, a smaller plate and two glasses. Candles were lit and some jazz music was turned on as background music. <br><br>Clover came back about twenty minutes later, still not caring too much about style, just wearing a simple black dress and some low flat boots. Her hair was still moist from the shower and was hanging loose over her shoulders. <br><br>When all the girls would be back, Clover told them to sit, wherever they wanted and took her own seat on the head of the table. Laura and Bella came round for drinks and when everybody was served their drinks, Clover raised her glass. <br><br>"To us girls. May we have the journey of our lifetime."<br><br>She took a small sip from her drink and stood up. <br><br>"So, to get to know you all better, I think it's good to spend some private time together. So each one of you gets to spend one or two nights with me. Because I cannot decide yet, because I don't know any of you as well as I would like, I have thought of a nice random selection method. Our starter is a bouillabaisse. One of you, and I don't know who will get it, has a plate with a five leaf clover on the inside. So when you finished your plate, or if you move everything out of the way, and you see the clover, you're the lucky one for tonight."<br><br>Clover smiled and sat down when Bella and Laura came out with a small cart with seven plates. <br><br>"Bon apetit girls. I hope you like it. There's no take out available."<br><br>It soon became clear who the lucky one was and dinner was nice and everybody seemed comfortable. The sunset was spectacular as the captain had positioned the boat so that everybody could see it without too much effort and when the three course meal was all done and coffee and tea were consumed the table got cleaned by Bella and Laura and Clover stood up again.<br><br>"If you want, you can use the upstairs lounge area. It's a bit more private than down here with this huge table or the pool set. I hope you all enjoyed dinner."<br><br>

It really was something like she had never experienced before. When Laura came over to tell them dinner would be in half an hour, she was still laughing as she looked over to her. It was at the moment that she realized that she was STARVING! Maybe it was the booze distracting her from her stomach... Or any number of other things... running around in little bathing suits...<br>She would give Clover a hand out of the pool, and then turn around, still in the water, to watch as she gave her dinner instructions, and then leave, stumbling a little. Maya would giggle and call to her <strong>"You just give us a holler if you need a hand in there, love."</strong>, in a teasing voice.<br><br>When she hopped up out of the water she put her hand out to Kelli, to help her up out of the water. "Say Kelli..."[/b] she began, helping the other girl out of the pool, before putting an arm around her shoulders. <br><strong>"...so I guess my original roommate got cold feet, and made a run for it just before we left port. Guess that's why she wasn't around just now... But see, I don't much care for being all alone, especially in these kinds of intense situations. So, if you haven't found a roomie yet, would you wanna move in with me? Please? If you say yes, I'll even come move your luggage for you!" She begged with a pout as she hugged the surfer a bit tighter, hoping for a good answer, and even being completely serious about carrying her bags.<br><br></strong><div align="center">*************</div><br>Maya had taken a quick rinse herself, and changed into one of her favorite comfy but fun dresses, and some cute, matching sandals. It wasn't often that the tomboy got a chance to dress up, so when she did, she liked to make an effort.<br>She waited for Kelli, so they could make their way to dinner together and find spots at the table, side by side.<br><br>The dinner looked and smelled exquisite, never mind the fact that she couldn't even pronounce it, let alone knew what it was. But really, the meal itself was secondary to making a quick check for a hidden prize.<br>When she saw it, her heart skipped a beat. Honestly she hadn't expected to have a real chance here. Not when so many beautiful women from around the world had applied for a chance to come. Between models, and movie stars, she was just a tomboy from the island, who was good a kicking a ball.&nbsp; But all of a sudden, when she saw that five leafed clover under her plate, she had a feeling that maybe she was here for a reason after all.<br><br>It was hard to disguise her smile, as she quietly slipped the Clover off her plate, and tucked it away, doing her best to be sneaky. The rest of dinner she acted as normal as possible, chatting and laughing away with everyone at the table, as she waited for a moment to slip away. She just got a surprise, now it was time to give one of her own.<br>She found her opportunity, just after desert and before coffee. She excused herself for a moment, and went looking for Laura.<br><br>When coffee was over, and the other ladies were figuring out how they would spend the rest of the evening, Maya snuck her way around behind Clover,&nbsp; keeping one hand held behind her back.<br>Gently, so as not to startle her, she placed a hand on Clover's shoulder so she would turn to face her.<br><strong>"Hey there, I found this special garnish in my dinner, but I thought I'd wait an eat it later..."</strong> she teased Clover with a grin that would show the heiress that she was holding her five leafed clover between her teeth.<br>With a little giggle she reached up and plucked the clover from her mouth and tucked it behind her ear, so it could be seen in her hair.<br><br>She then brought her hand, that she had been hiding. from behind her back and showed Clover that she had gotten a nicely chilled bottle of Champaign and two flutes. <strong>"Well, wanna show me your private deck while we get to know each other?"</strong> she asked with an excited smile and a wink.

Turning to the mirror, Leah brushed her hair out, the brunette mexican-american kept an eye on the tall dirty blonde, feeling the woman's gaze on her often.&nbsp; Putting her brush down, Leah looked down at the counter and picked up her red lipstick, she would just put a little bit on, to highlight her lips, trying to convince herself to ease up on the teasing.<br><br>Licking her lips, Leah went to the closet and pulled out an off the shoulder, stretchy, knitted casual dress of a light gray material.&nbsp; She loved the feel of the knitted material and it would keep her warm as the sun went down.&nbsp; She was used to Texas weather, chilly didn't often happen, even at night for most of the year and she loved the way the dress hugged her curves.&nbsp; She ran her hands down her slides to smooth out the material and decided to go without shoes, it wasn't like there was going to be anything sharp laying on the floors.&nbsp; &nbsp;Looking over at Rory, Leah asked,<strong> "Ready to go?"</strong><br><br><hr><br>As the two hot women walked over to the dining table, Leah started to worry about which seat she should take.&nbsp; Should she sit next to Clover if there was that option or should she leave that to someone who seemed to be better suited for the blonde heiress?&nbsp; Maybe she should sit in a middle chair, close to Clover but not right next to her.&nbsp; Rory probably wouldn't like to sit in the middle, the blonde veteran would probably prefer an end seat.&nbsp; Fortunately for Leah's peace of mind, the seats closest to Clover were already taken by the time she arrived with Rory and she immediately went for a middle seat.<br><br>Dinner was wonderful, Leah ate lightly while trying everything, but had a tendency to add salt when possible.&nbsp; Responding to Clover's toast with,<strong> "It already has been thanks to you Clover," </strong>Leah raising her cup of tea toward the heiress.&nbsp; She arched an elegant eyebrow at Clover's method of choosing who she was going to spend one on one time with tonight, the mexican-american thought it was very cute and a good way to start things off.&nbsp; And making it random, meant that she wouldn't start stressing about when her time would be, she could just relax and let it happen.&nbsp; Leah thought the way that Maya had revealed that she had gotten the 5-leaf clover was very cute, romantic, and maybe a little bit dorky with the comment about eating it later.<br><br>Shaking her head with a small giggle as the two left, she called out, <strong>"Have fun!&nbsp; Don't do anything the rest of us wouldn't!"&nbsp; </strong><br><br>When Shoko brought up playing board games as a way to get to know each other better, Leah was very tempted, but she had been dying to explore the huge yacht all day. <strong>"Hmm.... tempting offer Shoko, but I have been dying to explore,"</strong> the busty business woman explained to her new friend, <strong>"tomorrow night definitely,"</strong> she promised her shy friend, happy Shoko had stepped forward to offer playing to everyone.&nbsp; She glanced toward Rory, but hesitated on asking if she would join her,&nbsp; Rory was a temptation that she wasn't sure she could resist, alright, she probably couldn't resist.&nbsp; not only was the woman sexy as hell, but she was also a great conversationalist and if the trip here was any indication, they had a lot they could talk about.&nbsp; Leah settled for lifting an eyebrow questioningly at Rory, to silently ask Rory if she wanted to come with her.

The meek nerd eventually went back to her room to change out of her damp clothing and into a different outfit. She was still in the state of being a blushing mess when she came out however. The humble recluse's internet friends were rather supportive of her and that wanted to give her a good luck gift. It just happened to be the cute dress she was wearing. They still felt she needed to be slightly more adventurous. <br><br>The shy geek took a safe seat farthest away from the head of the table. However, she still kept attentively listening to Clover as she explained their dinner rules. She was a bit sad as her eating revealed that she wasn't the first pick. Still, she had a board game night to possible host and sputtering bookworm re-posed her question to the rest of them. The poor girl gave a little nod as Leah promised to defer her plans to the next night. She then looked towards the others for their answers.

Rory couldn't deny she enjoyed herself immensely what with Leah teasing and all the questions being passed around. For her part she didn't touch another drop of alcohol after her first margarita and had answered any and all questions that came her way honestly and completely. It became easy enough too sort out a few things about the women present during that time as well and though Rory was naturally a social type, it became a bit difficult to pull her attention away from Clover and Leah above all. Oh, she managed not to be too overt but then the others weren't really paying too much attention to what she was doing anyhow as they seemed to pick up their own distractions.<br><br>Rory had just about wondered if God or whoever was up there was trying to punish her--because got damn Leah!--when suddenly Clover announced the approach of dinner and gave them all a warning to dress appropriately for being on the water. She was just about to take the dismissal as a chance to hit an ice cold shower when Leah turned back to her.<br><br><em>"Shall we go to our room and get ready for dinner?"</em><br><br>"Lead the way, beautiful." Rory replied, gesturing for Leah to do just that. Though that left her to follow and she immediately cursed herself. Self-control was a matter of pride for her but what happened when she stopped wanting to control herself?! A woman could only take so much before she just had to say 'fuck it' and take a taste. Seriously. <br><br>Having not gotten in the pool, the need for a full shower was debatable in Rory's mind. For that reason there was not even a flinch of protest as they made it to their shared room and Leah scurried off. Instead Rory busied herself with preparing her outfit, which was on the casual side of nice since dressy usually meant dress blues for her and she'd skipped bringing those. She was almost fully distracted by her task and not at all imagining sneaking over and slipping into the shower with Leah when she emerged from the bathroom. <br><br>Naked.<br><br>Fuuuuuuuuh....<br><br>Rory's jaw clenched. Hard. She tried to stay nonchalant as she was mostly pretty casual about nudity in general but things had a way of changing when the naked person was one you wanted. She didn't stare, shge was smoother than that, but neither would she play blushing shy girl. If Leah wanted to tease then Rory could play along. As the other woman came her way the bodyguard pulled her shirt up and over her head. She reached to flick open the fly of her jeans just as her arm got treated to a first class sampling of lush, supple flesh. Her teeth sank into her lower lip and her eyes lifted enough to find Leah's. For a second Rory forgot she where she was. All she could see and smell was Leah and damn did she wanna add taste and touch to the list. Unaware, she leaned the tiniest of fractions closer, her body shifting so that it would be easy enough to trap Leah just there, between her body and the counter where she could slip her hands beneath her thighs and lift her up--Dammit. What was she doing? <br><br>Rory knew better. She was supposed to be looking at their host this way. Clover was the reason she had come on this trip. Clover. Even if Leah made her fingertips tingle with a desire to touch she owed it to give Clover a real shot. She had to try. Which meant that even if she'd rather sate other hungers she needed to get a grip--oh, bad choice of words!--she needed to man up and knock it the hell off. <br><br>What felt like minutes was hardly more than a few breaths before Rory stepped back. Opting for caution then she gathered up her stuff and disappeared into the bathroom for the quickest but coldest damn shower she could manage. By the time she came back out, Leah was fully dressed and so was Rory, her shirt wrinkle free and her hair pulled back into a french braid with a small pompadour.<br><br>"Yeah, mami. Let's do it."<br><br>She couldn't erase the previous minutes but just looking at her it was almost like she hadn't even had that slip. Her features were calm, almost cheery and her demeanor laid back and casual.<br><br></span><hr><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Arriving to dinner showed they were on time. Rory being Rory allowed Leah to select the seat she wanted and the tall blonde pulled out her chair for her before seating herself beside her at the end of the table. It put her farther away from Clover but she didn't let that keep her from engaging in the conversation. Oh she was aware there was such a thing as playing it too safe and risking losing an opportunity but Rory also felt that she and Clover would have their time together and that more than anything would tell them what they needed to know. She wasn't going to force anything. <br><br>Rory enjoyed her dinner completely. Then again, she really could eat just about anything and tended to eat relatively often when compared to most people. It was a metabolism thing. Not being the one chosen for Clover one on one time for the first night she set her sights on other plans for her evening. Now a wise woman would have recognized when it might have been best to keep herself away from temptation. Unfortunately, intelligence and wisdom were not at all the same thing. Rory was smart as hell but she could be dumb about somethings. Namely choosing to go off with Leah after what had nearly happened in the room. However it was like she couldn't help herself. She'd gotten near enough to the stove to feel that it was hot but clearly she wasn't going to learn her lesson until she truly got burnt. Hardheaded, was what her abuelita had used to call her.<br><br>The silent question was clear enough to her so Rory answered by standing. "C'mon mami, let's see what we can see, yeah?" She held out her hand to Leah, waiting until the other woman took it before tugging her up gently but enthusiastically. </span>

She'd have been happy to get in on the board game action of course but she couldn't deny that part of her was glad for a chance to get to know Leah a little better.<br><br>And that was precisely what she was telling herself this was: just a chance to explore the ship and get to know a new friend better.<br><br>A hot new friend.<br><br>A hot new friend she wanted naked and pressed up against her as closely as possible.<br><br>Good gawd.<br><br>By some miracle Rory managed not to let her gaze dip to Leah's backside as the woman took the lead on their little expedition. Well, not for more than like a second anyway. The temptation was real though and probably not made any better by their proximity once Leah stopped to look at a painting. Moving closer, Rory leaned slightly forward to get a better look over the brunette's shoulder. Her eyes roamed the painting for a moment but as she pulled back she was shaking her head. <br><br>"I took an art history course once. Intro, of course. I know enough to get the basics of various movements and blah blah but if you're expecting me to be all intellectual and rattle off names and dates and interesting facts... well, you might be disappointed. I'm more of the jock who turned out not to be quite so dumb." There was a self-depreciating smile on her face as she said it but really Rory had grown to be comfortable with who and what she was. "But, I agree that well done art is most certainly worth appreciating." She added quietly from behind the other woman, a hint of something other than total polite innocence in her tone.<br><br>There was more art to see, and really, perhaps if she hadn't spent most of the day fighting off inappropriate thoughts she might have been more genuine in her appraisal. As it was she could barely focus on the art. <br><br>"Do you really wanna check out the gym?" Rory's brow arched as she moved up beside Leah, her arm slipping around the other woman's waist and closing some of the distance between them. She knew there was a gym on board and figured she'd get to it in the morning. Leah suggesting it now seemed curious to her but then again, could be the woman was just being considerate and trying to make sure Rory got to see what she might be interested in. The gym was kind of a no brainer really. </span>

She didn't know and the chef had probably just put it on a plate, poured the soup over it and then Laura and Bella would have taken the plates at random. Double blind as it were. She had half expected that as soon as it was found, the lucky one would have let everybody else know but it wasn't the case. For a moment she was worried that nobody had gotten the clover or accidentally swallowed it. <br><br>It had been a wonderful dinner. The food played a good part but the company was the best part. Somehow she really had the feeling that all the girls got along well and maybe if they didn't end up with her, they may end up with one another. <br><br>Then she felt a hand at her shoulder and looked up. Maya. So the cheeky sod had kept her clover hidden.<br><br>"Well ain't you a lucky one then? Although I suppose in a five star restaurant, you'd have sent your soup back if you found that."<br><br>She laughed and got up and saw the champagne. <br><br>"More alcohol? I'm not sure if that's a good idea."<br><br>Clover smiled and winked at Maya. <br><br>"Girls, just one more thing."<br><br>She turned around speaking to all the girls while they were still around.<br><br>"Breakfast is served tomorrow at 9, no need to be all dressed up, your jammies will do just fine."<br>Clover giggled and continued.<br>"If you have any questions or things you need tonight, just let the staff know. Goodnight."<br><br>Then she turned to Maya again and hooked her arm into Maya's.<br><br>"Right then.. follow me."<br><br>She led Maya through the boat, up the stairs and onto the lounge deck where the rest of the girls were allowed in as well. Then she opened a door and led Maya inside. The room was the whole level of the boat almost. At the front the angled slanted windows with a huge bed underneath and at the back where they were now a sitting area. As the lights went on, everybody from the lounge could see inside but with another push on the button, Clover shut the blinds, giving her and Maya some privacy. <br><br>Immediately she launched herself into the fluffy couch and began peeling off her shoes. <br><br>"Just you and me know..."<br><br>

Not trying to go wild on the first night here."</strong> she would quip back.&nbsp; Of course, in spite of her teasing, she made a mental note not to push the extra drink on Clover. After all, not everyone got as sloshed as her team would after a big match.<br><br>After Clover said her good nights, Maya raised her hand high above her head and waved with her usual enthusiasm. <strong>"Good night ladies! Don't wait up!"</strong> then with her arm hooked in Clover's, she followed her lead up the stairs.<br>As they walked Maya would take in everything. The grand beauty built into the boat. The eternal blackness of the ocean at night, and the vastness of the stars above once they got to the upper deck. Now and then she would let out an excited laugh, and place her hand on Clover's that was through her arm. Most grand though, must have been the bedroom/sitting room that seemed like it might have been the size of her apartment, if not bigger. <br><br>Maya was still gazing around the room in awe as Clover was pulling her shoes off and getting comfortable. By the time she was settled into the couch, Maya had found an ice bucket and got the Champaign settled into it <strong>"Just in case..."</strong> then she came over to the couch, balancing on one leg at a time as she pulled off her sandals. <br><strong>"That's what I've been looking forward to all day..."</strong><br><br>As she spoke, she sank down into the couch, tucked in nice and close to clover, putting an arm around her shoulders. She was already feeling very comfortable around the other woman, after their time in the pool. Not to mention, so far, she was just finding it easy to be comfortable around Clover in general. Which was why she wore a warm smile as she drew little circles on Clover's knee.<br><br><strong>"So, Clover, you know I have crazy respect for you. It took real guts to come out to the world like you did. And giving us... giving me, the chance to be here with you is beyond amazing. So now I'd like to know what you're like, not in the spotlight. What would you like to do on a normal day... or a normal date..."</strong> she got the cheeky grin again as she looked into Clover's eyes. <strong>"... or after a normal date?"</strong>

Do tell, gorgeous!" Rory chuckled as Leah took her hand and began leading her to the stairs. Their walk was casual but far from easy as the tension building between them--at least from Rory's perspective--seemed to keep increasing rather than leveling out into something companionable. As fun as it was to be around the brunette it was also a trial in self-control of the most torturous kind and finally Rory decided she'd had enough. <br><br>They came to a point where a decision needed to be made. At first Rory hadn't been thinking that way but she picked up on the way Leah's steps slowed slightly as if giving her longer to make the right choice for them both. One way would let them at least try to continue the pretense of simple camaraderie while the other would toss that all to the wind. It was a particularly poignant moment and had Rory only been deciding for herself she knew which way she have gone in an instant. However, there were other factors to consider in all this.<br><br>Pulling against Leah's hand, Rory countered her lead and pulled her gently to a stop just outside the stairs. Turning she used her own body to guide Leah back against the wall out of sight of anyone who might choose then to come down the hall from one of the other directions. <br><br>"Truth time, mami." She whispered to the brunette, already leaning close enough that there could be no mistaking what was on her mind. Her gaze dropped to Leah's lips and she leaned further in but didn't complete the kiss. "I know what I want." Leah naked, wet, and writhing just for her--yes, please. "But I'm not aiming to be anybody's mistake." One hand slid from the wall to Leah's waist then slowly skimmed lower over the flare of her hip and then toward the hem of her dress where it fell against smooth thighs. There was no rush or sudden movement, only a steady and measured pace which would give the woman plenty of time to stop her or object. Though if she didn't Rory's motions would continue until her fingertips hooked the edge of the dress and then began slowly sliding it upward.<br><br>"We both know the reasons we shouldn't." Actually, was there really more than one? "But I don't care any more. You've been on my mind all fucking day. I can't think of anything but all the ways I want you wrapped around me." If unchecked, Rory would slide Leah's dress higher, bunching the stretchy fabric until her hand could fully caress her thigh and possibly slide in between though she held off on touching any higher. "Tell me no, mami." Her lips pressed closer then and brushed against Leah's jawline. "Tell me no and we stop and go right on exploring the ship and I'll be a perfect fucking gentleman, woman, whatever." Rory hated labels. "Tell me no and I won't kiss you or try to find out how long it takes to make your knees go weak right here against this wall. <em>Dime</em>..." She added that last in Spanish and her long fingers began to splay wider against Leah's flesh.</span>

And suddenly her hand was being pulled on, firmly but gently, turning her around to face the tall blonde who used her toned body to direct Leah to back up into a corner where others wouldn't be able to see them immediately.&nbsp; <br><br>As Rory leaned into Leah's space, the mexican-american licked her lips as her arousal spiked with Rory leaning over her, the sexual tension between climbing as Leah's nipples hardened under her sweater dress as Rory brought her lips closer to Leah's and Rory's intense voice sent shivers down the brunette's spine as Rory stated what she wanted and asked for Leah's answer.&nbsp; Licking her lips, Leah paused for a moment to make sure this wasn't going to be a mistake.&nbsp; She loved talking with the other woman, even just sharing space in quiet on the airplane was comfortable and easy.&nbsp; The strong woman was powerful, but not overbearing.&nbsp; Rory excluded confidence and self awareness and even now, when it was obvious that she wanted to just take Leah, she was making sure.&nbsp; Leah knew that when she said yes, that she would be letting loose the floodgates and there would be no stopping, that Rory was going to drive her crazy until she was a limp mess.&nbsp; <br><br>Leah's hands went under Rory's blazer to the woman's hard abs, not to push away, but to lightly scratch her blunt fingernails down the woman's abs, the thin white shirt denying her access to the woman's flesh as she felt one or Rory's hands sliding down her thigh to below the hem of her dress before slowly sliding upwards, giving her plenty of time to stop the blonde.&nbsp; &nbsp;As she felt Rory's fingers sliding up her thighs, pushing her dress up her legs, goosebumps formed along the path the fingers were taking and Leah found her legs spreading, giving the blonde more access.<br><br>"Until this is addressed," Leah replied breathily, "we can not truthful answer the other question."&nbsp; She had been dreaming of being with the taller woman the entire flight here.&nbsp; During the get to know time in the pool, half of her attention was on Rory and what the other woman was doing and paying attention to.&nbsp; While changing for dinner she had spent a second in the shower hoping that Rory would join her.&nbsp; During dinner, she was fighting the urge to lay her hand on the blonde's toned thigh and lean into her.&nbsp; It was time to find out how deep her attraction to Rory went and no matter what, this was something she wanted.<br><br>Leah hands gripped Rory's button down shirt, "Take mee... Tomo," she hissed hotly as she went up on her toes as she stood before the woman in her bare feet, she touched her soft lips to Rory's, stating unequivocally that she wanted Rory.&nbsp; She couldn't wait for a kiss from the hot, tall woman any longer, feeling the woman's breath on her lips was driving her crazy.&nbsp; She softly pressed her lips to Rory's turning her head to fit their lips better together as she initiated the kiss, giving Rory permission to take her as her long, loose, brunette falls down her back.

At first she thought the woman might call a halt to what was between them on the matter of principle but then her nails were scraping against Rory and the bodyguard found herself cursing the fabric between them ever so soundly in her mind. Still, she dared to hope the touch was the invitation she wanted it to be.<br><br><em>"Until this is addressed, we can not truthful answer the other question."</em><br><br>There was logic there that Rory would have fully agreed with had her mind not already been clouded over with a haze of desire. As it was the best she could do was nod slightly as she fought against what she wanted to do. Though that fight thankfully didn't have to last to long.<br><br>Leah made it clear that she wanted this and that was enough for Rory. Her hot little demand followed by the press of her lips to Rory's own pulled free a low groan and marine responded in kind with a demand of her own. One moment the touch of their mouths together was a soft, gentle thing that spoke of newness and first tastes, and the next Rory allowed her hunger to surface, her kiss heating past a simmer to a boil as her tongue attempted to coax the other woman's lips apart. The hand that had remained at Leah's waist rose to her chin, holding her in place for the thorough exploration that was Rory's kiss. Though her hand did shift away from that bare touch to slide back into the woman's long, silken fall of dark locks as she shifted closer, bringing their bodies inline. The feel of the other woman's breasts pressed against her, their lushness giving invitingly against Rory made her groan again and almost out of reflex the hand between the woman's thighs gave a hard squeeze. <br><br>Her hand released its grip but neat, trimmed nails juuuust long enough grazed along a now full exposed inner thigh moving down then back up. And Rory acknowledged the way her pulse sped and her hands itched to touch, well, everything. Leah was like being offered a damn feast after nearly starving for so long. Her fingers followed the woman's thigh to its natural end, finding the juncture where thigh met groin and tracing along the edge of those silk french cut panties she had a near perfect memory of. In a more patient moment she'd have stuck to her teasing and coaxing to enjoy Leah's reactions, especially given their less than secure location, but Rory couldn't seem to help herself. Couldn't seem to hold onto any coherent thoughts of anything other than Leah writhing in pleasure. It was like a physical driving need in her very veins so strong that her fingers detoured beneath the thin material to find the softest and most heated flesh with an seeking touch. A single finger found her entrance and circled, and just as her tongue picked up a rhythm that seemed to echo the very act she craved her finger began to push into the tight grip of Leah's body. <br><br>"Should take you back to the room. It would be better in the room, but fuuuck, mami..." She murmured into the woman's lips.</span>

She sighed and got up, poured two glasses of the champagne and sat down again.<br><br>"But I guess, if I had been a normal woman, I'd just like to cuddle, talk, maybe listen to some music or watch a terrible chickflick.

Fortunately this was something that Maya was somewhat acquainted with, being an international sports figure and all. So she was more than willing to be there to help Clover work out of it. Though sge did want to set one record straight. <br><strong>"First off, I have a 1970 Dodge Challenger back on the island, that is my baby. I think I turned into a bit of a gear head after I saw Vanishing Point, as a kid. But I've never gotten to drive on an actual race track."</strong> she said with a wink, hoping to make Clover feel a little less weird about her passion.<br><br>She watched Clover get up and go to the champagne with a little smile. She had a feeling that the bottle would be a good idea once they were alone and walls started coming down. <strong>"Thank you..."</strong> she said, taking her glass with a warm smile. She snuggled back in close to the other blonde once she sat down again.<br><br>Then Clover started telling her about a more intimate date. Which was nice, but Maya couldn't get over that idea that Clover viewed herself as not normal. So when she finished, looking down at her legs, Maya wasn't going to let her focus on unhappy thoughts like those for long. She reached over to the younger woman,&nbsp; and with a light touch with her fingers under Clover's chin, she woukd direct her to look back into her eyes.<br><br><strong>"Clover... I know what it feels like to feel different. I think you're going to find that all of us here are a bit different. But that's what makes everyone here so great."</strong> she reassured Clover with her bright smile.<br><strong>"But hey, seeing as this whole trip has already been pretty abnormal, as far as regular dates go... why not keep trying things a little differently..."</strong> she wore a nervous smile, and bit her lower lip as she made the vague suggestion. Then all at once, she leaned in toward Clover and, provided she didn't decide to pull away from her, pressed her lips to the other woman's. She would kiss Clover softly, doing her best to not feel pushy. Then she would break the kiss,&nbsp; but she didn't pull away from Clover. Keeping both of them close together. <br><strong>"...you can be as assertive as you want to be..." </strong>
