Bruce smiled and Cece felt her body temperature rise about 100 degrees. Who was this man who had this instant effect on her? After discussing the itinerary of the next few days, Bruce asked when the others would be arriving. Cece explained that it would only be her for the duration of the charter. Again, Bruce smiled and took her hand and led her below deck to give her the quick tour of where she could find things and which berth she would sleep in. Bruce went over some of the safety procedures of the boat and also the menu and cocktail list for the trip. Cece was a great cook and loved food, and while she was more than thrilled at the menu, that wasn’t entirely why she smiled all the while Bruce was talking. As she listened intently she could not help but notice Bruce’s thighs….strong and powerful and she ached to reach out and touch them.
The “galley” was small space for two people. The fridge but an icebox in the counter and the counter space just enough for one person to chop and prep food. As Bruce continued to talk, Cece could feel herself backing into the corner of the sink and the counter. Was she moving away from Bruce or was Bruce backing her up against the counter on purpose? He reached behind her to reach the latch for the fridge and as he did, his whole body pressed against her side.
