Chloe does the tropics: A misadventure

 

Chloe Morgan and her current significant other, Jason Stevens were out for a day of yachting with a few of their friends. They were enjoying a late lunch of grilled fish and chilled white wine, and taking in the scenery. The next course, dessert, was fresh pineapple soaked in spiced rum. Chloe yawned discreetly. They had all stayed up very late last night playing cards, and as soon as they had dessert, she intended to return to her stateroom and have an afternoon nap. She found herself hoping that Jason wouldn’t join her this time……they would never get to sleep if he did. But once they’d finished eating, Jason kissed her, and tapped her on the behind, telling her to have a nice nap. Alone in her room, Chloe turned on some music, and undressed, down to her underthings, a pale blue silk bra and thong. She slipped under the covers of the bed, and was soon asleep. Next thing she knew, she was being almost thrown out of bed by the way the waves were rocking the small yacht. She pulled on some faded and raveled jean shorts, and a pale blue silk halter top, which she knotted at her waist, then slid her feet into some pale blue flipflops. Her Jack Russell terrier dog, Revel, got out of his bed and came over to her, and she rubbed his head lovingly. Just then Jason banged on the door, and called, “Hey, Chloe! I’m afraid the storm is going to shipwreck us. Just in case, would you pack a bag of my things, and yours as well? Grab up everything you can carry, ok?” “Ok, Jase.”, Chloe said calmly, but she didn’t feel very calm inside. She put Revel’s leash on him, then filled his bed with items. Next she filled a large knapsack for herself, and then one for Jason. She replaced the flipflops that she was wearing with blue canvas sneakers. Jason opened the door this time. “You did good, Chloe. You and Revel stay in here until we run ashore. It’ll be safer for you in here…… have a drink while you wait. You’ll wish you had.”, he advised. Chloe swayed over to the minibar and took out some pineapple juice and rum, and made herself a stiff drink. She gave Revel one of his gourmet dog biscuits. The yacht shook, and it stopped suddenly, as though something in its path had stopped it. Jason joined her and Revel. “We’re shipwrecked, Chloe. I don’t know how long we will be here before we’re rescued. The radio was damaged, and the cell phones and tablets aren’t getting reception. We’re on an uninhabited island.” He put an arm around her, to comfort her. “Come on, get everything you can. We can’t stay here. Gas is leaking from the yacht engine. It could explode any time now.” Chloe picked up everything that she could, and led Revel off the yacht. They had all just made it off the boat when it burst into flames. Dejected, Chloe put the belongings that she had managed to save down under a coconut palm tree. Revel wanted water, so she poured him some into his bowl. Chloe was assigned to watch all their belongings while the others looked for food, just in case there were others on the island. She and Revel sat down under the tree . She listened to music on her Ipod, a luxury that would last only as long as her battery power did. She investigated visually the items that had made it ashore with them. The men had managed to bring a mattress for each couple ashore, so at least they could sleep in relative comfort. Sex, though, was out of the question, with the couples sleeping so close to one another. Maybe she and Jason could sneak off into the jungle for a quickie….. When the others returned, they brought bananas, coconut, and mangoes, and the men had caught some fish for them to cook. Plus, there was a source of fresh water on the other side of the island. A fire was started, and the fished were cooked. Then they all ate some of the fresh fruit. The mattresses were positioned for them to sleep on, and it was decided that they would sleep in shifts, with someone awake and on guard at all times. Chloe and Jason were the first to be guards. Chloe was glad; she didn’t feel like she could sleep a wink right now; perhaps she would relax a little and feel more like it later. After the others were asleep, she and Jason got a little frisky, and ended up making love on their mattress, which wasn’t the easiest thing in the world to do without making any noise. When it was her and Jason’s turn to sleep, Chloe reached for her silver flask which she’d hidden among her things, and took a big swallow of spiced rum. Revel was curled up between her and Jason on their mattress. Chloe laid there in the balmy tropical air, thinking that maybe if she was lucky, she’d wake up and find this was all just a bad dream……. Unfortunately for Chloe, she awoke next to Jason and Revel on a sweat soaked mattress. It would be two more long weeks before they were rescued…… ReplyForward
