[Deck 3]

Liam stood at Stevie’s door waiting for an answer being curious to see how her new necklace turned out they had designed a few days ago together.

The door opened “Hi Liam, please come in” Stevie stated hoping he would like what he saw. He walked in as she inquired “So what do you think of my new look ” as she held her arms out while turning in a complete circle.

Walking up to Stevie he placed his hands on her waist, seeing a three inch wide band of skin from her neck to her navel, but still in good taste as he looked into her gorgeous eyes “I think you look absolutely stunning and very sexy in that outfit” as he paused “The long necklace really works well” he replied with a smile very much enjoying what he was seeing.

With a big smile “Thank you, I was hoping you’d like it; and yes, I really like the way the necklace turned out so thank you for your help” as she paused a moment looking into his eyes “You have to be the nicest, sweetest, most supportive guy I’ve ever known” as she leaned in giving Liam a very passionate kiss.

Liam smiled “Between that kiss and your attire I’m almost tempted to skip dinner and go right for desert’” he replied with a chuckle.

“Oh no you don’t, dinner first then maybe we’ll see about desert later” she answered teasingly with a grin “Ready to go?”

Liam nodded as they headed out the door. Walking down the corridor two crewman came towards them both turning their heads quickly, almost to the point of getting whiplash, starring at Stevie’s alluring outfit.

Looking towards Stevie “Looks like you got their attention” as he grinned being happy to be seen with such a gorgeous women.

Giving Liam a playful hip bump “There’s only one guy’s attention I’m trying to get” she whispered in a soft voice with a big smile.

Returning her smile “Stevie you got my attention a long time ago” he replied thinking it was time to tell her how he really felt.


[Deck 6 Valhalla Lounge]

“Good” she replied feeling quite happy at the moment as they entered the Lounge for dinner.

After getting their meals the couple sat across from one another as Liam couldn’t help admiring this beautiful women when Stevie looked up “What? Something wrong” she inquired.

“No nothing’s wrong. I’m just happy to be with such a gorgeous women and able to admire you all through dinner” as Liam smiled.

“Play your cards right and you can admire this body up close and personal a little later” Stevie replied teasingly really looking forward to some intimate time together.

Not knowing quite how to answer that Liam decided to change the subject “I was just curious what prompted you to make that top to look like it does; not that I’m complaining” Liam replied with a light chuckle.

Lowering her voice as Stevie looked Liam in his lovely blue eyes “Honestly I made this top the way I did to get your attention” then she paused “I would very much like to take our time together to the next level.”

Grinning “But you have had my attention for quite some time now” then he paused “Our time together….you mean our relationship” he replied wanting to know exactly where they stood.

Thinking a few moments “Yes our relationship” Stevie answered not quite believing she had just admitted to that out loud given her past; not that was a bad thing.


[Deck 4 Stevie’s Quarters]

After dinner the couple walked back with her unlocking the door. She didn’t even bother to ask if he wanted to come in for awhile; that was a foregone conclusion.

Once inside “Have a seat on the couch while I go change; I won’t be long” Stevie stated then gave Liam a quick kiss as he did as requested.

Walking into her bedroom she knew exactly how she wanted this to go as she quickly took off her clothes then brushed out her hair. She splashed on some perfume on her neck and a little in other areas. Laying on the bed she struck a seductive pose then called out “Liam can you come in here please.”

Hearing her, he rose from the couch and walked into her bedroom then froze at the door seeing this gorgeous naked body laying on the bed. Stevie had about as perfect a body as he had ever seen a women have. Smiling Liam took off his clothes as fast as he could; seemed like it took forever.

Walking over to her bed he joined her smiling “You look absolutely stunning laying there” as he leaned in and started kissing her passionately and with purpose for several minutes.

Liam was about ready to let his hands do some exploring when “Liam STOP!!” Stevie stated suddenly feeling panicked . He moved away from her a little as she rose and sat on the edge of the bed with her back towards him. Looking over her shoulder “Could you please turn around so I can put some clothes on.”

Realizing this night wasn’t going any further Liam stood up and quickly dressed wondering what had prompted her to go from happily showing her fantastic looking body to Ms. Modest. His first thought was to press her for an explanation but decided to just give her some space.

Stevie turned around fully covered “Maybe we should call it a night.”

Still completely confused he merely replied “As you wish....I’ll see myself out” then turned and left her quarters.

After a few moments Stevie walked out into the living area and over to the bookcase. Opening the bottom door she grabbed a bottle of real gin and a high-ball glass then poured herself a drink about half full before returning the bottle to it’s rightful place.

Walking to the couch she sat then downed the gin in one big gulp placing the empty glass on the table waiting for the gin to kick in. Sitting her thoughts immediately went to her night with Liam as her eyes welled up with tears and were soon streaming down her face.

Wiping away the tears she whispered “Nice going Thomas you dumb bitch…..you finally meet this great guy who really seems to be into to you and you just may have screwed up a potential relationship” as she could feel her heart empty once again.

Sitting for several minutes, while wiping away more tears, she knew she would have to try and explain herself to him even if this was the end of the line for them; at least Liam deserved that much.


[Deck 3 Liam’s Quarters]

Returning home he changed into some comfortable clothes then grabbed a water and sat on the couch. Downing some of the water his thoughts drifted to Stevie.

Thinking “What had he unconsciously done to provoke such actions. He knew she liked him and wanted to make love to him just by her actions recently” as another thought crept into his mind “She had been so concerned that he may be playing games with her…..maybe she was the one playing games and loved getting a man so far then cutting him loose. Stevie had to know she has a dynamite body so maybe she uses that to her advantage.”

Quickly Liam dismissed his last thoughts knowing there had to be another explanation. He guessed he’d wait to see if he actually received an explanation or not. Even though he was really liking this amazing women he would prepare himself for her just turning away……permanently.
