- I was sitting on the bow of the boat watching the sun sink below
- the horizon with its' beautiful display of colors. As I get older, I
- find myself be amazed by nature more and more every day. This sunset
- was just one of the many that made me feel at peace with the world.
- The waves were providing a gentle rocking motion that made my mind
- start to wander.
- I still could not believe that I was sitting on my sailboat in the
- middle of a secluded bay watching the sunset. It all started almost a
- year ago.....
-
- I had just finished working for three days straight away from home
- when my life was suddenly devastated. When I entered my home, I
- realized something was terribly wrong. It was just too quiet. I went
- from room to room calling out but no one answered. I know that my
- wife and children were home when I left. Then I found the note on the
- mantle of the fire place. My wife had left with the children and
- never wanted to hear from me again. She cleaned out our bank accounts
- and just left. I slowly sank down into a chair and just stared at the
- letter for the longest time. I was shocked beyond emotions. For 15
- years, I worked to build our home and give her everything she needed.
- Somewhere, I failed. After some time, my mind began to work again.
- Suicide--that was an option that crossed my mind, but the logical
- side of me set that idea aside. What happened for the next week, I am
- not really sure. Most of the details are clouded and hazy. I
- remember getting the case of Jack Daniels from my closet (at least she
- didn't take that!) and sitting in the chair in front of the fire place
- watching the fire sipping from the bottle. I do remember calling the
- office and letting them know I was going to be gone for awhile. I told
- them I was not sure when I would be back, but I was in charge and I
- knew that they would get along without me. Other than that, I am not
- sure what happened.
- I cannot remember eating. Actually, I cannot remember anything that
- I did during this time. After a week, I awoke early in the morning of
- the eighth day of my "vacation" to the sound of someone pounding on
- the front door. I looked down and saw 12 empty bottles of Jack Daniels
- on the floor and my only thoughts were to stop the inconsiderate
- person from pounding on the door--each pound echoed through my skull.
- I opened the door and there was my old friend Drifter staring at me as
- if I was some horrible creature another planet. Then, suddenly her
- face changed from one of astonishment to that of severe anger and she
- started to scream at me. I jumped back from the door and fell on my
- ass and it was my turn to look astonished. She just started laughing
- at me and came in and closed the door.
-
- I had known her for many years and we were very good friends. We
- were never more than friends although at times I had wished we were.
- Her real name is not Drifter, but her free and easy life style, along
- with her habit of traveling around the world in search for adventure,
- earned her the nickname. She came into my life that day and helped me
- get my life back in order....
- A flash of lightening brought me back to the present. A storm was
- starting to move in from the port side. I quickly looked over the
- boat, a 41 foot ketch, to make sure that everything was closed and
- secured for the storm. After checking the boat, I stood on the bow
- watching the storm and feeling the cool air the precedes the rain. I
- turned and looked through the cabin windows and there she was wrapped
- in a short towel after taking a swim in the tropical waters. As I
- watched her making coffee, I realized that I was holding my breath.
- I started to breath again and sat on the bow to watch the storm.
- Lightening and the accompanying thunder was getting closer. I just sat
- watching and letting my mind wander. I was stunned by how this
- wonderful woman had changed my life. She kicked me when I really
- needed it and helped in more ways than one. She was a friend, a
- psychologist, and yes even a lover. I was not sure if she would one
- day drift away with the wind, but I did not care. She had given me
- back my life and if she drifted on, I knew I could carry because she
- would always be with me.
-
- I was startled when someone grabbed my shoulder. She was standing
- above me with the wind blowing her hair with two cups of coffee. "Are
- you alright?" I looked into her mystic eyes and told her that I
- couldn't feel better. The rain started to come down lightly and we
- moved into the cabin. Drifter stretched out on the couch and began
- reading a book and I took a seat across from her, sipping the coffee
- and just watching her. She looked so beautiful that I was content just
- to watch her. The storm picked up in intensity and the boat began to
- sway with the wind. Her breasts, which hung freely beneath the towel,
- were moving with the boat. I watched as her nipples hardened from
- rubbing against the towel. I was so involved in watching her, I did
- not realize that she had put down the book and was watching me watch
- her. We just stared at each other--there was no need for words. I
- walked over to her and slowly got down on my knees next to her.
- "Drifter, I don't know what life would be like without you." She
- took my face in her hands and looked into my eyes. Her eyes were
- moist. She gently kissed me and smiled. Then we kissed again, more
- urgently this time. Her tongue parted my lips and our tongues
- intertwined. While our tongues were locked together, I slipped my
- hand down and untied the towel. I leaned back and admired her body.
- Her skin was tanned light brown all over. She spent many days
- sunbathing on the deck of the boat while I watched and tried my best
- to keep the boat on course. Her breasts were just the right size--
- they would fill a champagne glass. They were topped with light colored
- nipples that were engorged with excitement. Her slim waist tapered
- down to her buttocks. At the junction of her thighs, one could just
- make out the vermillion lips of her sex. This was covered by a light
- covering of dark pubic hair that she kept trimmed.
-
- She reached out for me, but I stopped her. "Drifter, you have
- brought so much pleasure into my life that it is time I did something
- for you. Just lie back and close your eyes. Listen to the storm and
- relax." She did as I asked. I took some warm oil from the cabinet
- below the couch and poured a thin line on her body starting at her
- neck and running it between her breasts and down her body until it
- just began to enter the nest of hair between her legs. I started to
- massage her body making sure that I did not touch any areas that might
- lead to her arousal. I could feel the tension leaving her body as each
- muscle group relaxed.
- When she was almost on the verge of sleep, I gently began to
- massage her breasts. I kept away from her nipples in the beginning
- watching them swell. She began to moan softly and her pelvis began to
- rotate up off the couch. At this point, I bent my head to her right
- breast and gently began to suck on the tender hard point. Her hands
- came up and clasped my head to her breast. I gently nipped at her
- breast with my teeth and then moved to the other one which received
- the same treatment. I slowly kissed my way down to the juncture of her
- thighs. She parted her legs and I was looking straight into her inner
- core.
- Beads of moisture were clinging to her lips. I stretched out my
- tongue and captured these drops of nectar of love. At the touch of my
- tongue, her movements began more insistent. I spread her lips and
- dove right in. My tongue touched every part of her sex. I licked
- around her anus and then moved up in a slow and deliberate manner.
- When I reached her clitoris, her hands grabbed the back of my head and
- pulled me further to her. I let her take the lead and move my head and
- tongue to where she wanted it. Suddenly, she stiffened and cried out
- as orgasm overtook her body. I remained where I was gently kissing her
- pubic area until she opened her eyes and smiled at me. Without
- speaking, she pulled me up onto the couch and clutching me to her
- bosom fell into a deep sleep while the storm pounded away.
-
- II
-
- I awoke several hours and found myself along in the cabin. Looking
- out the windows, I found that the storm was no where to be seen. The
- stars were bright and clear against the dark background. My pulse
- began to race--I had a small anxiety attack--could she be gone
- forever? I laughed at myself for being so stupid. We are on a boat
- anchored in the middle of a secluded bay. She had no where to go.
- But, then I remembered that this was Drifter and if anyone could find
- a place to go it would be her. I ran the length of the boat and jumped
- up on the deck disregarding the stairs. "DRIFTER", I cried out. There
- was no answer. My heart began to race faster. My chest began to hurt--
- where could she have gone. Laughter? I was looking out over the
- crystal clear water and I was hearing laughter. I know I am a little
- different but maybe now I was getting a little crazy. Suddenly, a hand
- appeared over the gunwale and after the hand came the rest of her. I
- sat on the deck and we just laughed for awhile. "I'll have breakfast
- ready in a moment. The coffee is ready. I'll get you a cup." "No, I
- said. I'll come down and get my coffee."
-
- I got a cup of coffee and sat down watching Drifter move about the
- cabin. As she was making the eggs, I found that I could no longer help
- myself. I came up behind her and held her tight. I whispered, "I love
- you" in her ear. She turned and looked at me "You don't love me. We
- get along together and are good friends but you don't love me." What
- can you say to someone like this? We had both loved many times and had
- been hurt. I was sure that she just did not want to think about what I
- had just said. I had told her I loved her many times during the past
- years, but she always just let it go. I reached past her and turned
- the eggs off. Without saying a word, I took her by the hand and lead
- her to the deck where I sat down and placed her in my lap. I looked
- deep into those complex eyes of hers. "Drifter, I just want you to
- listen to me. Don't say a word. I have known many people in my life.
- Some were friends and some were not. I have only loved a very
- select few. I know that you distrust the word love, but I am going to
- tell you what love really is. When I love someone, it is not just a
- passing emotion to be taken lightly. It is not just a word that I use
- anytime I feel like it. It is a commitment to you that will last a
- lifetime. Yes, I do enjoy the good times that we have when we are
- together. But, there is more. When you are having bad times, I want to
- be there to help. When you are depressed, I will be there to cheer you
- up.
- When you are frightened, I will be there to protect you. When you
- are sad and crying, I will be there to dry your tears. I will always
- be there whenever you need me. I know that you might think that I am
- just another man who is out to hurt you. But, I am not like other men.
- I mean what I say and would not like to see you hurt at anytime. So
- now you know what I mean by saying I love you." Drifter was extremely
- quiet (which was very unusual) and she kept looking down at the deck.
- I took her head into my hands and forced her to look at me.
- "Drifter, I LOVE YOU." Her eyes started to tear. One large tear
- drop started to run down her cheek and soon more began the journey
- down her face. I wiped away the tears and held her close. Finally, she
- understood what she meant to me. I guess now it was her turn--"You
- know that this is unfair. I can't say that I love you. Not yet. Maybe
- if you give me time, I will be able to deal with it. But not now." I
- continued to hold her and said "You have all the time in the world. I
- will always be here for you. By the way, didn't anyone ever tell you
- that life was not fair." She began to laugh and then she jumped up and
- hit me in the chest. "Stop being so serious" was her comment. I am not
- sure what came over me. I stood up and grabbed her and pulled her to
- me.
- "Serious, you want to see serious" I yelled. I grabbed the top of
- her bathing suit and ripped it off. There in front of me were her
- fabulous breasts. She suddenly looked afraid. I guess she had never
- seen this side of me. I put my hands around her waist and lifted her
- onto the roof of the cabin. The height was just perfect. I pulled her
- bottoms off and there she sat exposed to me. She was now going to see
- how serious I really was. I dropped my pants and told her to put me
- inside of her. She hesitated a minute and I slapped her on her
- buttocks.
- Now, I said. She gently grasped by prick and placed it at the
- entrance of her moist cavern. I grasped her hips and pulled her
- quickly to me until I was completely buried inside her. She gasped out
- in pleasure/pain.
- This time I was thinking of my pleasure not hers. I began a fast
- rhythm pulling myself almost completely out of her than slamming
- myself back in. After several minutes of this, I felt the cum start of
- boil inside of me. I kept this pace up until I began to explode inside
- of her. At the same time, I felt her juices running down my legs and
- onto the deck. I looked at her for a few minutes longer and then
- withdrew and pulled my pants back on. I reached past her legs and
- grabbed both her wrists and pulled her into a sitting position. Once
- again I looked into her eyes, "You want to see the serious side of me.
- Well, I am tired of holding everything inside of me.
- I LOVE YOU and I want to be with you forever. I want to marry you
- and make you mine. I am not a jealous person, but I can be selfish at
- times and this is one of them." Then, I walked away. I picked up my
- coffee and went to the bow of the boat. I sat down with my feet
- dangling over the edge of the boat and just looked out over the blue
- water and let my mind wander. I did notice that Drifter picked up her
- bathing suit and went below. I hope I didn't hurt her but the time had
- come for her to realize exactly what she meant to me. I thought I was
- supposed to feel good about expressing my feelings but now I just felt
- like a number one royal asshole.
-

- III
-
- Drifter came out a short time later carrying her brushes and
- paints. She set up an easel and began to paint the shoreline. She
- never said a word to me. She just sat with her back to me as if I did
- not exist. Emotions welled up inside my mind began to cook and came
- to a boiling point. I got up and walked slowly towards the stern being
- careful not to make any noise. I did not want to disturb her
- concentration. I sat down on the roof of the cabin and watched her
- work. Her paintings always amaze me because I had tried to paint but
- did not have the talent for it.
- She was a natural. Once again I began to think of what I had done.
- She looked over her shoulder and pushed her hair off her face and
- stared at me. I became extremely uneasy. It was as if she could send
- messages to me without saying a word. I finally could not take it any
- more and the tears that were in her eyes earlier were now in mine. I
- think this surprised her. I always tried to hide my inner emotions
- just as she did, but I could no longer hide within myself. "Drifter,
- I'm sorry.
- I know excuses won't help. I just wanted you to understand how I
- felt and how serious I was. " Drifter slowly turned around and sat and
- stared at me for several minutes. I could not stop the tears. Then
- she said "I know how you feel about me. I am not so ignorant as to not
- notice the messages you keep sending. But, you also have to understand
- that I am not yours to have. I belong to no one but me." With that,
- she returned to her painting and I, looking like a lost pup, sat on
- the cabin roof watching her. I thought over the time we had spent
- together and the words that she had spoken. I had made a terrible
- mistake.
- I looked inside myself and thought what now asshole. You have just
- killed the perfect friendship. Well, I decided that I was going to do
- something about it. I was not going to allow her to just drift off to
- another adventure with bad feelings and never hear from her again. I
- got down from the roof and sat down behind her. She turned and looked
- at me. It was one of those times that if looks could kill I could have
- died instantly.
- "Drifter I know that you are upset. I would jump overboard never
- to be seen again if it would make you feel better, but there is
- nothing that I can do that can erase today." She turned back to her
- painting and continued working on the image that was off the port side
- of the boat. I went below and crawled into a bunk and stared at the
- ceiling for a long time. I guess I fell asleep because I suddenly
- realized that it was past midnight. I also found that I was alone. I
- went up on deck and found her sleeping on the deck. She looked so
- peaceful sleeping there, however, it was beginning to get cool. She
- had sometime during the evening changed into jeans and a T-shirt. She
- was curled up in a ball. I bent down and slid my arms under her and
- lifted her up. She opened her eyes and asked me what I thought I was
- doing.
- I told her that I was just going to put her in a bunk so that she
- would be comfortable and warm. I was not trying to anything else and I
- would sleep on the deck. This seemed to satisfy her and she allowed me
- to place her in the bunk and cover her up. I went on deck and watched
- the stars for awhile, but I needed time to think. I jumped over the
- side and swam to the beach. The swim was long but the physical
- exertion made me feel a little better. I wandered around the Island
- for awhile and then sat in the sand and watched the boat rocking in
- the waves.
- When the sun began to come up, I swam back to the boat and made a
- fresh pot of coffee. While the coffee was brewing I pulled out the
- charts and prepared a course back to our home harbor. I prepared the
- boat and was all set to get underway in a short period of time. I
- poured a cup of coffee and added a little cream and took it down into
- the cabin.
- "Drifter its' time to get up." She sat up in bed and took the
- coffee I offered her.
- She said, "The coffee is great. Thank you." "No problem. I have
- prepared a course back home and we should be set to go as soon as you
- are ready." I guess this took her by surprise. "What do you mean. I
- thought we were going to stay here for a little while longer." "Well,
- I thought that it would be best to go now. I figured you would want to
- get away from this fool that brings you coffee in bed." She thought
- about that for some time before she spoke. "I want to stay here on
- the boat with you." This was just another surprise in life. "Ok,
- we'll stay as long as you would like." I took my coffee and went on
- deck to watch the day progress. Drifter showered and came up with her
- paints and began to finish the landscape. As I watched her work, I
- became aware of the overwhelming need to be close to her. I took a
- number 6 paint brush and began to lightly run it up and down the
- bottom of her foot.
- She kept on working not even seeming to notice what I was doing. I
- worked the brush up her calves. Using light stokes, I moved the brush
- in up and down movements. She still was not responding to me or the
- brush. I worked the brush higher until I was stroking her inner
- thighs. Ah, was that a smile I detected? I continued to stroke her
- inner thighs for over 20 minutes. Finally, she leaned back. "That
- feels marvelous darling. Please do continue." Well, I never try to
- disappoint a lady.
- I continued to stroke her thighs.
- "This calls for a different approach."
- I picked up a large flat brush and began making long strokes up and
- down each one of her legs. After a few minutes of this, I picked up
- one of her small brushes. "Its' time to work in a little detail on
- this painting", I said as I knelt down between her thighs. I took the
- small brush and began to work on the outline of her mons.
- She spread her legs and this allowed me access to her genitals
- through the leg opening in her shorts. Her labia were flushed with
- excitement. I took the small brush and lightly traced their outline.
- I kept doing this until suddenly she pushed me out of the way. I felt
- a fight coming on, but was presently surprised when she removed her
- clothes and lay back down. I dreamily went back to my work. Now, I
- traced her inner lip with the brush being careful not to touch her
- clit.
- Little beads of moisture began to seep from her. "I don't want any
- parts to feel left out." I picked up the flat brush again and began to
- circle her breasts. Her nipples began to harden. I moved the brush up
- her neck where I knew she was extremely sensitive. She smiled at me
- and then closed her eyes. I tickled her earlobes and then began to
- move back down her body. When I reached her breasts, I picked up the
- small brush again and worked the brush over her nipples. When they
- became hard points, I got down between her legs and circled the small
- brush around her clit. She began to moan and shout for more. I worked
- over her clit with the brush and brought her to the point of orgasm
- and stopped. I replaced the brush with my tongue and quickly brought
- her to a climax. After she calmed down, I slowly licked up all of her
- musky juices.
- I looked up at her and asked, "Am I forgiven?"
- She said, "No you are not. I know what you are trying to do. You
- want me to settle down and stop wandering around the world. You want
- to keep me for yourself." I stood up and walked over to the edge of
- the boat and looked out over the water. I had nothing to say. She was
- right. I wanted her and I knew that she was not mine to have. I could
- not face her. She kept on, "Who do you think you are? I have been
- taking care of myself for years and I don't need anyone to care for
- me. I am quite capable. "
- I knew she was right. She was more than capable of taking care of
- herself. What could I do? I continued to stare out over the ocean
- trying to hide my feelings. "Don't try to ignore me"; she shouted. I
- turned and looked at her. I could not look into her eyes. "Damn you.
- You've done it to me." These words confused me. What did she mean.
- Finally, I looked deep into her eyes and she said, "Yes you. No one
- else could have done this." I asked her what she meant. Her eyes
- started to get wet, "I love you." I could not believe she said this.
- I continued to look on, dumbfounded. "There are you happy. I said it.
- I love you. And at the same time, I am pissed off that you did this to
- me. I didn't want to love you. I just wanted to have fun and be me. I
- didn't want anything serious to happen. Now look what you've done." I
- sat down beside her and took her into my arms. Our lips met and our
- tongues started to dance together. For the rest of the day, we just
- sat together not saying a word. Just looking into each others eyes--
- but that was more than enough.
-
- IV
-
- The hours seemed to have flown by. First came the evening with a
- radiant full moon that seemed to fill the sky. Drifter sat between my
- legs with her head against my chest and my arms wrapped around her.
- Every once in a while I would look down at her angelic face framed by
- her wild hair and I thanked the powers of the universe for allowing me
- this pleasure. We remained this way until the sun began to inch its'
- way over the horizon. The sunrise was spectacular--the sun came up
- with an infinite medley of colors and there were just enough scattered
- clouds in the sky to make this sunrise one that would be remembered
- for a lifetime. I looked down at the lovely creature that was nestled
- in my arms. Perfection. I moved my hand to her breast and gently
- tweaked her right nipple to hardness between my fingers. She stirred
- and began to wake. I stood up, slipped my arms around her, and lifted
- her up. I smiled at her and then dropped her overboard. She plunged
- into the tepid tropical waters. As she broke the surface, I yelled
- "Good Morning" and jumped into the water. She tried to swim away from
- me, but I was able to catch her rather quickly. We wrapped our arms
- around each other and floated together in the water. She said, "You
- know we really need to talk about what has happened the last few
- days."
- I playfully splashed water in her face and swam towards the boat.
- "Look who's being serious now", I called to her as I swam. We climbed
- back on the boat, and I got some towels for us to dry off with. I told
- Drifter to go take a shower and I would fix something for breakfast.
- She headed for the shower and I went into the galley. Breakfast was
- easy. I had the eggs benedict ready just as she was finishing. I
- reached into the cooler and pulled out a bottle of Asti Spumonte and
- popped the cork just as she came out of the head. She sat down at the
- table as I poured the wine and wanted to know what the occasion was.
- "Drifter, every day with you is special. This is just a small token of
- thanks." Ah, I finally said something right. Her smile gave her away.
- We quickly finished eating and took the bottle of wine on deck. We
- kicked back on the deck sipping the wine and watching the day
- progress. I got up and turned on the tape deck. I put on her favorite
- song by Grason Hughs--Let's Talk It Over. Smiling at myself, I sat
- back down and watched the dreamy look come over her. "Well, Drifter
- go ahead and talk. You said we need to talk and that's fine with me.
- But, this time you do the talking. I can write but I defiantly have a
- problem talking." She sat back and looked out over the water. "I don't
- know what you did to me last night but it was not fair. I listen to
- other peoples' problems and try to help them." I looked over at her
- and said, "Drifter look at me." She turned and looked into my eyes.
- "You have helped me through many difficult times. I am sorry if my
- feelings for you confuse you. It is time that you stopped hiding
- behind the force field that you have built up over the years and trust
- someone. I want that someone to be me, but if you can do this with
- someone else that is fine. Yes, I love you but I also respect and
- trust you. I think it is time that you learned to trust some others as
- well." "Fine", she yelled at me. "You want to know what my problem is-
- -its' you. You do things to me that no one has done in a long time.
- You make me feel good when I am down and make me feel even better when
- I'm not." She paused for a minute, and then in a very quiet voice
- said, "I'm scared. I am having feelings now that I would not let
- myself have for a long time and I don't know how to handle them."
- "You don't have to handle them Drifter. Just relax and let the
- feelings come." She thought about this for a long time. It was quiet
- on the boat. You could hear the ropes creaking and the waves lapping
- up against the hull. Finally she said, "I'm sorry, but I'm really
- confused over all of this. I do know that I do want to stay here with
- you and relax for awhile and enjoy your company." We came together and
- kissed. Once again we ended up without clothes on. If we kept this up,
- we were going to end up sun burnt in all the wrong places. We sank to
- the deck. I was about to lie down between her legs when she told me to
- stop. "I want to please you too. Lie down here on the deck." I did
- just like she asked and suddenly she turned around and knelt down just
- above my head. What a beautiful sight. I was looking right up at my
- favorite desert. Before I could finish taking in the view, she
- engulfed me completely in her mouth. It felt so good that a shiver
- ran up my body, it was like lying in a blanket of snow. Of course,
- being a gentleman, I reciprocated. We played each other like a pair of
- fine tuned violas. The notes rose and fell slowly and we remained
- entwined for a long time. Then it was time for the finale. I sucked
- her clitoris deep into my mouth. She began to shake and move her head
- up and down my shaft faster and faster. We could only take this pace
- for a few moments before we both came together. After a brief rest,
- we got up and kissed. Our tongues fought a duel. We broke apart and
- at the same time said "You taste great." We both laughed at and with
- each other. What a way to start the day.
-
- V
- A friend of mine arrived that afternoon to bring us fresh food and
- supplies. He arrived shortly after noon flying his seaplane at treetop
- level and making a spectacular landing on the calm bay. We unloaded
- the supplies and I went below deck to start putting everything up. I
- heard the seaplane start up and begin to taxi for takeoff. I thought
- it was strange that Dan did not stay awhile, but then Dan has always
- been a little strange. I called out for Drifter to come and help me
- but she did not answer. I went up on deck, but no one was there. I
- didn't think anything about it, and went back to continue unpacking. I
- figured that she swam ashore. I finished unpacking, opened a cold
- beer, and went to sit on the stern of the boat to await her return.
- Then, I noticed a note attached to the wheel. I took the note and sat
- down to read it. Drifter had obviously left it; I'd know that hand
- writing anywhere. It read: "I am sorry that it has to be this way. I
- left with Dan. I know that you will be hurt but I hope you understand
- that I need to be me. I am not ready to deal with the emotions that
- emerge every time I am with you. You are a great person. You have
- taught me things about life and myself and I can never repay that
- debt. I hope you have a good life. Signed, Drifter.

- I just sat there staring at the letter. Emotions--there were none.
- I was drained of life just as if a vampire had sucked all the blood
- from my body. Once again something precious had left my life just
- when I thought everything was fine. What was wrong with me? It must
- be something. Was I too intense? Was I too demanding? I had thousands
- of questions but no answers. I wanted a friend and companion and I
- guess I wanted something more also. Should I have just settled for a
- friend? The more questions I asked of myself the less answers I
- found. Then, logic took over. I realized that I wanted something that
- Drifter was unable to give me. Hopefully, one day we would meet again.
- I spent the next several days cleaning the boat and prepared to make
- the voyage home alone. I found the only thing that she had left was
- the tape. I placed it in the player and turned the volume all the way
- up. "..I never meant to hurt you..." echoed throughout the bay.

- After I returned home, I remained secluded on the boat for several
- months. My business was doing fine and some of my short stories were
- published. I was doing fine financially, but a piece of my life was
- missing. Every day I thought of Drifter even though the memories hurt.
- I had not heard a word from her since she had left. I prayed that she
- was doing well. I framed her good-bye letter and it now hung over the
- stove in the galley. I kept myself busy working on the boat and
- sailing around but it wasn't the same.
-
- One dark and stormy night, I went to a local pub that I had begun
- to frequent a little too often. The rain was coming down in thick
- sheets and lightning flashed through the skies. I had several Jack
- Daniels and was in a somber mood. I knew that drinking would not solve
- my inner problems so I paid the bartender and went back to the boat.
- Being on a boat during a storm can be very peaceful. I sat at the
- table and began to write a short story for a local magazine. Then,
- somehow my tape deck came on. "...let's just talk it over in bed.."
- My heart jumped into my throat. In my heart, I knew that it couldn't
- be her. I grabbed my gun from the dresser, chambered a round, and
- pulled open the hatch. There was someone sitting on the deck. It was
- dark and I could not see very well but this person did not look right.
- The lightning flashed and I could tell that there was a woman huddled
- up against the deck wall slumped over. She was soaking wet and the
- rain continued to pour down. I put the gun in the waist band of my
- pants behind my back and picked her up. I took her below and lay her
- down on the bunk. Her clothes felt wet all the way through. I turned
- on the lights and went forward to get towels and blankets for this
- stranger. When I returned, she was still on the bunk. She was not
- moving and appeared to be unconscious. Then, I looked closely at her
- and I almost fainted. Drifter. What the hell had happened to her. I
- gently undressed her, dried her off, and wrapped her in blankets.
- While I was cleaning her up, I noticed that she had several large
- bruises on her. Numb with anger, I sat in the chair across from her
- and kept a careful eye on her throughout the night. When the dawn
- came, she was still sleeping. I got up and pulled the boat out of the
- slip and set sail south. When I was sure that everything was in order,
- I set the automatic pilot and went below. I brewed a pot of coffee and
- poured two cups. From the ice chest, I got the cream and fixed her
- coffee. I had always taken my coffee black, but I also always kept
- fresh cream in hopes that one day she would return. I sat down next to
- her and shook her. She opened her eyes and when she saw me, she
- wrapped her arms around me and started to cry. "I'm sorry I came here
- but I had nowhere else to turn." "Drifter I told you that I would
- always be here when you needed me. You don't have to be sorry." I gave
- her the coffee and she sat back and relaxed. She must have felt the
- boat moving because she asked where we were going. I told her that I
- thought she needed to get away and think for awhile so we were headed
- south with no set destination in mind. She looked in the mirror in
- horror at her reflection. She threw me out of the cabin so she could
- take a shower and get cleaned up. I took my coffee and went to check
- the course of the boat.
-
- She opened the hatch and smiling stuck her head out and said; "Hi
- Pal." I just shook my head and started to laugh. She ran up the stairs
- and threw her arms around me and wrapped her legs around my waist. I
- was not sure how to handle this situation, but I hugged her back and
- told her that I had missed her. Our lips found each others and our
- bodies fit together perfectly. She started to unbuckle my belt and I
- stopped her. "Drifter, don't. I am not sure what is going on here and
- I don't want this to happen yet." She took this rejection hard. I
- pulled her to me and held her close. "Just let me hold you. My life
- has not been the same since you left and now you are suddenly here and
- you can't expect to take up where we left off. I love you very much,
- but right now I just want to hold you. In my arms, you are safe from
- everything." She lay her head on my shoulders and the gentle motion of
- the boat slipping through the waves put her fast asleep.

- By the time Drifter woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
- She stretched her lithe body upon the couch and smiled up at me. I
- went below and brought up the lunch I had fixed for her. I sat at her
- feet while we ate a light lunch of fresh fruits and salad with a light
- tangy dressing. After eating, I took the plates into the galley and
- began washing the dishes. I knew that Drifter was feeling pretty bad
- since she did not argue about me doing these chores for her. Drifter
- has always been an independent soul and she really dislikes having
- things done for her. After I finished cleaning up, I changed course
- for a nearby cove to spend the night. Drifter was standing on the bow
- just staring out over the water. A small group of porpoises began to
- swim along the bow and she sat down and watched them play. I watched
- her for a long time--worrying about her. She had not spoken very much
- since her sudden arrival on the boat. She appeared deeply troubled,
- but for now, I just let her be.
-
- We anchored the boat in a small cove off the Bimini Coast. Drifter
- continued to remain seated on the bow just staring off into space. I
- felt it was time to do something. I went forward and knelt down behind
- her. She never stirred or acknowledged my presence. I gently reached
- up to her neck and began to slowly massage her back. She still
- remained silent but I could feel the tension begin to leave her body.
- I moved her so that she was lying on her stomach on the deck and
- slowly worked each muscle group from her neck to her toes. After
- about an hour, I finally felt her entire body relax. At this point, I
- raised her leg into the air and playfully sucked on her toes. She
- rolled over onto her side and said; "Just what do you think you are
- doing?" Perfect, I was waiting for the old Drifter to start to come
- back. "Me, I'm just trying to help you relax. Nothing more." "Well, in
- that case, continue." She rolled back over on her stomach. Once again,
- I started sucking on her toes and slowly moved my way up her body. Her
- perfectly shaped calves were begging for attention. I continued my
- upward progress, nibbling on her thighs. When I got to her inner
- thighs, her hips began an up and down movement. I reached up and
- lowered her bikini bottom and bit her on the left cheek. She rolled
- over and playfully slapped at me. "What was that for?", she asked. I
- was just testing your reflexes. She laughed at me and rolled back
- over. "Well, just kiss my ass", was her statement. I was never one to
- deny a lady, especially one as desirable as Drifter. I bent over her
- prone from and gently kissed her behind. Her legs began to drift apart
- and her moist cavern was exposed to me. I lied down on the deck and
- grasping her hips manipulated her so that her vagina was positioned
- over my mouth. My tongue snaked its' way through the forest of pubic
- hair and gently titillated her clitoris. I teased her by just touching
- her with the tip of my tongue. Suddenly, she lowered herself down
- further so that I could attack every inch of her sex. Moisture started
- to flood down from her tunnel. I gulped her juices down savoring their
- musky flavor. Looking up her body, I could watch her heaving breasts
- bouncing up and down. I reached up for them and massaged her breasts
- while she rode my tongue. Her orgasm seemed to last for hours. She
- finally rolled off of me and then came over and gave me a french kiss
- that aroused my desires even more. I realized that it was getting
- late, and instead of continuing with our love play, I went below to
- fix dinner. Drifter followed me down below and tried to push me out
- of the galley. "I'll make dinner." "Drifter, you will not make dinner.
- Just go over there and sit your ass down and watch." "Fine--Just
- Fine!" She huffed off and sat down at the table. I found the package
- of shark meat in the ice box and began to season it. Pepper, salt,
- lemon, and everything else I could find was being dumped onto the
- shark steaks. Suddenly, Drifter yelled out, "Hey, this is about me."
- She had found the work I had been writing and was sitting there
- reading it. I ignored her and went back to preparing the meal. I
- finished cooking and set the table. She was halfway through reading
- the manuscript when dinner was served. I poured us each a glass to
- chilled white wine and sat down next to her. She put the papers aside
- and started to eat. Looking over at me she said, "This is good." I
- asked her if she meant the book or the fish. She said both. We
- finished eating in silence and while I cleared the table she took the
- papers and her wine on deck to finish reading. I joined her a short
- time later. I sat watching her read for a long time. When she was
- finished, she took the papers below and called for me to join her. I
- found her lying on the bunk in all of her naked splendor. I quickly
- undressed and climbed in next to her. Our lips met and her body felt
- so soft and sensuous that I was content to just lye next to her. She
- started to speak and I just sat back and listened. "I know you want to
- know what happened to me but I just want to forget everything that has
- happened to me since I left. I have done a lot of thinking since then,
- and I want you to know that not a day passed without my thinking of
- you. You mean a lot to me and if you will have me, I am yours." I
- stared up at the ceiling for awhile letting her words sink in. "What
- do you mean?" "Just what I said. I am ready to settle down a little. I
- am tired of running around the world. I want to have some place to
- call my own. And, if you are willing, I want you to be there." I was
- too choked up for words. I lowered my lips to hers and gave her a kiss
- that would reach her soul. I whispered in her ear. "Welcome home,
- pal." We spent the rest of the night making passionate love to each
- other until the sun began to come over the horizon.
