Jack and Jill III
Chapter 4
Kate woke up and started to stretch since she was sure there would be a few kinks in her muscles. However the second she moved she felt it. Looking down she saw one of Rick's hands on her breast. He had touched her breasts before, through her clothes and bra, but this was different since her t-shirt was a little small for her, but that was how she liked it when she slept.
She twisted her head to look at him to see if he was doing it on purpose. He was face down in his pillow. She wasn't really sure how he was breathing since his face was planted into his pillow. His left hand was on her left breast.
Her next question was why was he on her side of the bed? Going back to looking around told her that he kind of was on his side. It was she that wasn't on her side. Though if anybody asked she was going to say they met in the middle.
Next was what was she going to do about it? His hand was on her breast and he was out cold but she was starting to worry if he was getting enough oxygen. Then suddenly he snorted and moved a little. His hand moved off of her breast and she rather missed having it there. She turned her head to find he had turned his head to face her. His eyes were closed and he was breathing peacefully.
Kate debated just what to do. Almost unaware that she was doing it, her hand moved and she carefully lifted his hand, placing it squarely on her breast and leaving it there. She liked the feeling of it.
He was still asleep so she wondered just what else she could do. She'd read in school that some people were susceptible to being talked to while asleep and getting them to say or do things. Sort of like hypnotism.
Kate turned her head to look at him. She feared that if she said anything he would wake up and ruin it all. Then a thought hit her. This idea was really stretching things but she was sure they would get there eventually, maybe even during this trip.
He wasn't really lying down properly for this to work but it was close enough. Kate carefully lifted his hand and looked to make sure he was still asleep. Then very slowly she moved his hand so that it was resting just between her legs. His middle finger was actually touching her core. The movement had caused him to adjust his shoulder yet he didn't wake up. Now Kate just laid there and fantasized about just what his hand could do down there when that time came.
Then he snorted and moved a little, causing Kate to quickly get out of bed and look down at him. He was still asleep and she watched as his hand searched the bed where she used to be. She couldn't help but think his hand was searching for her breast.
She smiled as she retreated into the bathroom. After using the toilet she stripped and turned on the water to take a shower. She didn't even think about having to once again use her towel to get clothes.
+o+ +x+ +o+ +x+ +o+ [X] +o+ +x+ +o+ +x+ +o+
Kate was mostly dry and her towel was wrapped around her tightly just above her breasts. Opening the door to take a peek she saw the bed was empty. Rick was up. Looking into the rest of the room told her he wasn't in the bedroom.
She snuck over to the drawers to get a bra and panties. Then to the closet to find something to wear; she retreated to the bathroom to dress in private.
+o+ +x+ +o+ +x+ +o+ [X] +o+ +x+ +o+ +x+ +o+
Kate didn't even give it a second thought when she opened the bathroom to come back out only to find Rick standing there in his boxers, picking his pants up off the bed. For a moment she had an excellent view. Then she retreated back into the bathroom and softly almost closed the door. She wanted to spy on him.
He was all done save for his shoes. "You can come back out now," Rick said loudly.
Kate clapped a hand over her mouth to keep from crying out. She'd been spotted and was just now finding out that he'd seen her. "I didn't see anything," Kate called out from the bathroom. Actually she saw very little since he had his boxers on at the time.
"It's still safe to come out," Rick said with a touch of laughter in his voice. Kate slowly opened the door even though she knew it was safe. She'd been caught spying on him and she was embarrassed.
He used a finger to beckon her over to him. She went slowly like she was a little girl who was about to be punished. She shouldn't, she wasn't a child anymore. But she felt guilty.
Once she was in front of him he used the same finger to tilt her head up to look at him. Though instead of telling her off he kissed her deeply and wrapped his arms around her. She didn't kiss him back at first but that changed quickly. It was one of their best kisses ever. When he broke from the kiss it left her breathless. "I'll be sure to dress slower next time." That way she would have something to see.
"Yes! …NO!" He had her confused. "Breakfast?" she asked, desperately wanting off this topic before she did something really stupid. Something that might ruin this trip for both of them.
"Good plan. We can talk over breakfast about what to do next time. One of us needs to be naked next time." Rick was teasing and he knew it.
"RICK?" Was he asking her what she thought he was? That they should be naked next time followed by having sex? "Maybe." Kate was thinking she might be willing to take that next step soon.
"In that case we need food to build up our energy. The buffet will have to do since we don't have any reservations elsewhere even if any of them do serve breakfast." Rick guided her out of their room and headed toward the buffet level.
They only made it as far as their door. Just inside on the floor was a list of today's events along with some other information. "There's a show later tonight. We can go see that," Rick suggested.
Kate saw something about trivia using music just after lunch. Something else was happening in another bar area. The casino would be open as soon as they left the system.
"The mandatory evacuation drill is in two hours," Kate pointed out. "It says where we're to go based on where our room's located. Looks like we're in section 1 on deck 6 on the port side. Which side is port?" She didn't know much about ships.
"The left side. We still have time for breakfast. We need energy for later." Rick smiled at her which made Kate grin at him.
Kate found that the line was relatively short though all three lines of the buffet were open. They also had a lot to chose from. She selected lots of fruit, some scrambled eggs, and a couple pieces of bacon; she moved on and ignored everything else. She made a mental note for next time that there was an assistant chef making omelets made to order.
She saw Rick's plate and raised an eyebrow. "Hungry much?" He had damn near everything on his plate and a lot of it. Especially bacon and eggs.
"I'm a growing boy," he answered and glared at Kate after she patted his stomach.
"Growing," she teased. "That's why women have a saying: once on the lips, forever on the hips."
"This ship has an exercise area so we can burn some of this off if we want," Rick countered.
"You're going to have to do 30 laps for a start if you eat all that." Kate had seen what kind of shape he was already in and liked the way he looked.
"We can change and hit the exercise room after the evacuation drill. That or the pool." Rick was dying to see Kate in a bikini.
That had Kate considering her bikinis. One was simple enough while the other was far more risqué. Not only would Rick get an eyeful, so would everyone else on the ship.
She made a plan for them. "Exercise first, then trivia. We can decide on what to do before the show tonight."
"Deal." Rick was in.
+o+ +x+ +o+ +x+ +o+ [X] +o+ +x+ +o+ +x+ +o+
Kate came out of the bathroom dressed for spending some time on the exercise deck and found Rick waiting for her, already changed as well. His eyes roamed all over her.
What she was wearing was a little out of style but it was all she had. It was skintight and had rather bright colors. What got her to buy it, even if it was out of fashion, was that it came with a built-in sports bra. It meant she didn't have to spend money on a separate sports bra. She had ignored the looks she got when she ran through the park near home. She planned to ignore the looks she got here as well. Though the look Rick was giving her wasn't critical of what she was wearing. If anything it was as if she was standing there utterly naked. Finally it got to her. "Let's go." Kate grabbed her towel, her room card, and went downstairs.
Rick did the same and followed her. He was behind her all the way to the exercise deck. Save for the times he looked up to make sure he didn't crash into anyone, his eyes were glued to Kate's ass. If he didn't know any better she was swaying her hips on purpose.
Kate stopped at the desk and smiled as Rick was still right behind her. She'd made sure to add a little extra sway to her walk to keep his eyes on her ass. If they were on hers they wouldn't be on some other woman's that Kate was sure would be in there.
A little stretching first and a drink of water and they were both on the track that overlooked the pool. The roof was mostly glass though the walls here were only glass from time to time. In-between there were painted murals depicting a number of celestial images. Some were constellations while others were whole galaxies.
They were on their third trip around when they found themselves joined by another couple. After just one more trip she was running next to Kate while the guy was running next to Rick. She was built in a way that made Kate envious. Even with her sports bra and the latest exercise clothes her breasts had a tendency to bounce. Her hair was cut incredibly short but it looked good on her. Her legs were even almost as long as hers. She was also lovely.
She introduced herself as they ran. "I'm Daphne."
"Kate." Kate smiled since she hadn't yet said anything about what she was wearing. Nor had her face shown any signs of disgust.
"My husband, Robert, is behind us next to your husband," Daphne said.
Kate corrected her. "He's not… I mean, we're not married. This is a date."
Daphne was a little surprised at that. "An 11 night trip through space as a date? Now I'm jealous." She was sincere. When she and Robert were dating he hadn't done anything like that. She lowered her voice so only Kate could hear her. "You should marry him. I've never met any man who would consider this trip a date. …And he's handsome." Daphne stopped talking and just kept running next to Kate.
"Robert," the husband told Rick.
"Rick. Your wife?" She and Kate were out in front of both of them. Rick still had his eyes on Kate's ass…mostly.
"Daphne. It isn't quite our third anniversary but we were in the area so we decided on this cruise to celebrate. That and it takes us to a planet we wanted to reach." He couldn't explain better. "Your wife is bold." Anyone who could wear what she was wearing had to be sure of herself.
Rick shook his head. "We're not married. This is a date."
They both stopped talking and just kept running behind their respective women.
"I've had enough running. Not really my style, unlike my wife. I'm going to hit the machines. It was nice meeting you." Robert slowed to a walk, headed to the closest door, and went inside since the track was theoretically outside, just not technically outside.
That left Rick to follow both women.
"I think I lost my husband. He never was any good at running. But he has muscles." Daphne grinned at Kate since she loved his muscles.
Kate grinned since she caught what she was suggesting. She was a little surprised that Rick was still with her. She was used to running longer distances while he had always balked at going running with her.
"We might lose Rick soon, too," Kate added and wasn't surprised when he only lasted another half lap and went inside.
"We could hit the weights too. I could show you how to increase your leg muscles. Squeeze the life out of your guy when you wrap them around him. You can get him to promise anything to release him and let him breathe." Daphne had a little fun with Kate.
"Anything, huh?" Kate actually considered her offer. She stopped at the first door to go back inside with Daphne right behind her.
They both saw Rick and Robert working on their upper bodies while Daphne took Kate to a machine meant for legs.
Kate was still working the machine, but her legs were starting to kill her. "They burning yet?" Daphne asked her as she used the same machine next to her.
"I'm not going to be able to walk back to our room." It wasn't the weight per se. It was just that she was tired of doing it over and over again.
"Good." Daphne smiled and kept working her machine.
Kate was slowing way down. She wasn't capable of keeping up with Daphne who was still going strong. "I'm done," Kate announced and was afraid to even try to stand up. Her legs were quivering like gelatin.
Daphne urged her to go for more. "Ten more. Come on, you've got it in you. Ten more, Kate."
Kate huffed a breath and started to do another set while Daphne nodded approvingly.
"I think my wife has designs on your girlfriend." Robert had spotted what his wife and Kate were doing. "My wife has leg muscles that can squeeze a person's life out of them. If she succeeds you can kiss your ability to breathe during sex goodbye. Trust me, I know." His wife had wrapped her legs around him and squeezed him to death more times than he could count.
Intrigued, Rick watched what Kate was doing. She was on the same machine as his wife, though Kate was a whole lot slower at it. He was betting he was safe for now, but maybe if he encouraged her to keep it up…
Kate fell back on the bench and quit. Her legs refused to even move. "I can't move," she groaned.
Daphne dangled a carrot in front of her. "Just think about wrapping your strong legs around your boyfriend while he's inside you and squeezing the life out of him. Think about something you want him to do but he's refused thus far. Then you can ask him again while you squeeze the life out of him.
"Now get up and do ten more," Daphne said encouragingly and smiled as Kate sat up and struggled mightily to do even five more.

Robert had Rick right behind him. "You ladies done? I was thinking the hot tub was next. Get those jets to hit my shoulders." His shoulders were burning and he was betting Rick's were as well. He tried to flex them a little and felt some discomfort.
"I'm going to need a wheelchair," Kate said wearily. Anything that took the pain away sounded good to her.
Robert slapped Rick on the back about shoulder high, causing him to wince. "Rick, here, can carry you." Robert was all smiles while Daphne snorted out a laugh since she saw Rick wince from that slap.
Kate lifted up her arms and waited for Rick to pick her up. He actually did pick her up which had Kate smiling, but then he put her on her feet which promptly collapsed since they were made of gelatin.
"We'll meet you by the pool unless your room is on deck 9." Daphne stood up with ease and latched onto her husband.
Rick shook his head. Kate answered, "Seventeen. Just look for the woman that's being carried."
Both Daphne and Robert laughed as they walked away. "I like her, babe. She has spirit."
"Wearing that outfit certainly says she has something," Robert responded which earned him a swat.
"Be nice or I won't release you tonight." She threatened to not unlock her legs from around him.
Robert simply smiled. "I look forward to it." He kissed her cheek.

Kate had made it back to their room which thankfully was only about half the ship away followed by a trip in the transit pod.
Rick was downstairs changing while Kate was using the bed to help her make it to the bathroom so she could put her bikini on. Once in the bathroom she sat down hard on the toilet. "I think I've been played."
Kate had her bikini on and it wasn't the one with the thong. She wasn't that brave yet.
"Do I need to come up and get you?" Rick called up to her as he smiled widely.
Kate growled as she picked up her towel and slipped into her flip flops. "I'm coming." She wrapped her towel around her waist, picked up her room card, and began taking the stairs one step at a time until she joined Rick on the lower level of their room.
"How far is the pool?" Her legs were barely functioning.
"One deck down and toward the middle." Rick bent his arm and held it out for her to grab hold of and led both of them out the door to the transit pod.
"There's the hot tub. I'll find us a pair of lounges to put our towels on and join you." Rick released her at the stairs up to the hot tub and headed out to find a place to lay down later.
"You made it!" Daphne and Robert were already there. They happened to be in this hot tub and were watching as Kate very slowly took the steps one at a time.
"Half of me," Kate joked and Daphne laughed.
"The more you do it the easier it gets. Trust me. Ask my husband if you don't believe me." She kissed his cheek since he was going to learn that lesson tonight.
Kate sat down and moaned in relief since the bubbles were hitting her back and the weight was off her legs.
Another couple joined them before Rick joined them and sat next to Kate. "Don't kill me but the closest open lounges were on the upper deck." It meant a walk from here and up a set of stairs.
"Well since I'm never leaving it doesn't matter." Kate closed her eyes and tried to relax.
Rick definitely needed to add a hot tub to his apartment.
