A/N: Sorry for the delay. I have the story flushed out to the end, now it's just a matter of finding the time to write. Please continue to read and review. I'll try to do better at posting in a more timely manner.
Samantha set down the last platter of food on the galley table. The guys had already opened the bottles of wine so they could breath. The roast chicken was already carved into pieces and dotted with fresh thyme and lemon as garnish. The garlic mashed potatoes infused with truffle oil were piping hot and the green beans were so fresh they snapped. The whole meal was fresh, nothing on the table was previously frozen, a rare treat for all the guys. Samantha slid into the seat next to Edgar and grabbed the bottle of wine. She poured a bit of wine into the motley collection of glasses on the table. Everyone reached out and took a glass.
"To a safe and prosperous season" said Samantha.
Everyone clinked glasses and took a sip. The wine was delicious even for the most unseasoned of wine drinkers. Edgar's hand slipped under the table and gave Samantha's knee an affectionate squeeze.
"So Antha, when are you heading back to LA?" asked Jake.
Edgar stiffened next to Samantha anxiously awaiting her response. Although he knew she would need to get back to her life in LA he'd hoped she would stay, at least until the boat left Dutch.
"I hadn't really thought about it" said Samantha taking a sip of her wine.
Edgar visibly relaxed at her answer and took a hearty bite of his dinner. The dinner passed amicably and since Samantha hadn't brought dessert the guys decided to adjourn to the local watering hole for an after dinner drink.
Edgar and Samantha had dutifully sat at the bar for a few hours with the guys before they were able to sneak away. Safely back inside the comfort of the hotel room they ravaged each other stripping off clothing with lightning speed. Edgar managed to get Samantha completely naked before she was able to get more than his shirt off. Backing her to the bed he laid her down on the coverlet before leaning over to kiss a trail down her body. He stopped for a short time at her breasts, capturing each nipple in his mouth and giving them a fleeting nibble before continuing his journey south. He bypassed his goal giving just a kiss to her mound before moving to her feet. He kissed the arch of each foot before twining kisses along her thighs. As he moved back up he pressed her thighs farther apart until his shoulders were wedged between them. Samantha felt a little self conscious about being displayed so lewdly but the moment Edgar's mouth landed on her she forgot about being shy. He teased her with gentle kisses and slow laps of his tongue. Samantha pulled a pillow under her head so she could gaze down into Edgar's eyes. When he wasn't studying her femininity he would look up and their gazes would lock for a few moments. He eyed her searchingly and when he found what he was looking for he would give her a grin and return to his task. He licked at sucked at her clit before moving to tongue her opening. When his fingers joined his tongue Samantha immediately began to cum. Her legs closed on Edgar's head like a vice holding him in place until she rode out her orgasm. Slowly moving his fingers out of her body Edgar moved up and placed a kiss on her mouth. Samantha reacted immediately slipping her tongue into his mouth savoring the taste of herself. Edgar returned the kiss with fervor while trying to get his pants off. Samantha took the initiative and hooked her toes into his waistband efficiently pushing them down his body.
"Neat trick" said Edgar.
"Thanks, I have a few more I'd like to show you" said Samantha with a cheeky grin.
"Later" said Edgar.
He lined himself up and sunk home. As they rode towards the pinnacle together their hands entwined and their gazes locked together. They both reached the peak at the same moment, Samantha's wall fluttering around Edgar's pulsing cock. Edgar laid down next to Samantha careful not to crush her. Samantha moved her head to his chest listening to his pounding heartbeat.
Edgar moaned quietly in his sleep, he was having a wonderful dream about having sex with Samantha. He could feel himself in her warm heat. Samantha watched his face from her perch between his legs, his cock growing hard in her mouth. She was trying to see how long she could pleasure him before he woke up. If he began to rouse from sleep she would back off slightly drawing back to mimic the fading of a dream. Samantha carefully slipped a finger between her legs to touch herself. She was wet and her finger easily slid over her clit turning her on even more. Abandoning her original plan she climbed on top of Edgar sheathing herself on his cock. The moment her pussy enveloped him Edgar's eyes shot open and a moan was pulled from his throat. His hands immediately settled on her hips guiding her movements. Samantha pulled at her nipples before bending down slightly to offer them to Edgar. He sat up and took one into his mouth giving it a hard pull before letting it go with a pop. Samantha offered him the other but instead of taking it in his mouth he pinched it with his finger. After a few minutes Edgar started to get antsy.
"What is it?" asked Samantha.
"We've done it this way already" pouted Edgar.
Samantha quirked an eyebrow before smiling indulgently and getting off him. His cock slapping wetly against his stomach. She moved onto all fours in front of him presenting herself to his eager eyes. Edgar was on her in a moment, driving into her with a force that took her breath away. The new position allowed Edgar to push farther into Samantha's willing body. He could feel himself bottoming out and relished the sensation. Giving Samantha a playful slap on the ass he got down to the business of fucking her.
"Touch yourself" grunted Edgar.
Samantha quickly complied touching her clit and occasionally reaching back to brush her fingers along Edgar's length as it plunged in and out of her. Striving towards orgasm Samantha began to move back against Edgar her walls began to pulse which sent Edgar over the edge. He came with a shout and they both collapsed on the bed. Samantha struggled out from underneath Edgar's crushing weight.
"Sorry" mumbled Edgar rolling off of her prone body.
Samantha responded by giving him a tired kiss and snuggling into his side. They both drifted back into sleep.
Sig paced the wheelhouse like a man possessed. He expected Edgar back on the boat by morning and it was now almost noon and he was no where to be found. As a rule there was no sex allowed on the boat however in the event that a crew member got lucky they were allowed to spend the night off the boat but they were expected to make it back the next morning. Edgar was breaking the rule and it was making Sig's blood boil. With a scowl firmly set on his face he walked down through the galley and onto the deck. His angry visage was noted by Matt who quickly reached for his cell. Sig hopped onto the deck and walked over to the truck and climbed in. He found the keys in the visor and sped off down the dock. Jake had noticed Sig leave the boat and hurried inside to let the others know. Before he even made it to the door Matt appeared on deck.
"Did Sig leave?" he asked.
"Yep, like a bat out of hell" answered Jake.
Matt nodded and opened his phone. Pressing a few buttons he slammed it shut again.
"I hope he gets this" said Matt.
Jake just nodded wearily. Sig was clearly looking for a fight.
Samantha nudged Edgar slightly at the sounds of his buzzing phone. It was resting on the nightstand and had been buzzing constantly for the past few minutes. Eventually she gave up on rousing Edgar from sleep and climbed over him and grabbed the phone. There were 15 text messages all from Matt.
"Hey, Matt's trying to text you" said Samantha.
"Open it" muttered Edgar his hands wrapping around Samantha's body.
Samantha opened the text and stared at the one word text. She shrugged and opened the next message and it had the same one word.
"What did he say?" asked Edgar kissing her breast bone.
"Run" said Samantha.
Edgar sat up so fast he knocked Samantha backwards onto the bed. He grabbed the phone from her hand and quickly scrolled through all the messages, they all just repeated RUN!!
"Oh shit, Sig's on his way and he's mad" said Edgar scrambling out of bed.
"You got all that from one word?" asked Samantha.
"Yep, it's a code we used when we were kids growing up" said Edgar while pulling on his clothes.
"Should I be worried?" asked Samantha.
"No, he won't hurt you" said Edgar dismissively. "But he's probably going to kill me."
"Why?" asked Samantha.
"Who knows. Listen, I've gotta go" said Edgar rushing over give Samantha a quick kiss.
"Have a nice day" said Samantha.
"Wish me luck" said Edgar.
"Good luck, I'll try to stall Sig as long as I can so you can get a good head start" said Samantha.
"Thanks" said Edgar.
He was out the door and running towards the stairs before Samantha could say goodbye. She sat on the bed debating whether she had time to take a bath before Sig arrived. Deciding that she probably did she got up and started the water. She had wrapped the fluffy bathrobe around herself and was just slipping into the soapy water when there was the distinct sound of the key card in the door.
Sig barged into the room expecting to find Edgar and Samantha in some sort of compromising position. In fact the whole way over to the hotel he'd been imagining them in all sorts of scantily positions. Each new imaginary scenario made Sig more irate. He'd got to the front desk and demanded a key to Samantha's room, the clerk knew Sig and happily turned over a duplicate. With the key in hand Sig had stomped to the bank of elevators and had to restrain himself from punching out the speaker spewing out muzak during the ride up. Now that the door was open he swung it open and stormed into the room. He was surprised to see an empty bed. As he scanned the room he heard the distinct sound of water running in the bathroom. He quietly opened the bathroom door and saw Samantha laying in a tub full of bubbles. Her eyes were closed but at the sound of the door opening they opened, her gaze traveling up from his feet and finally coming to rest on his hair. Sig fought the urge to run his hand through it.
"Hi Sig" said Samantha. "What brings you by?"
"I didn't think Edgar was capable of holding his breath so long" said Sig advancing on the tub.
"Me neither, it's really impressive" said Samantha.
When Sig reached the tub he glanced into the whirlpool tub for a moment before dropping his hand into the tub reaching around to find Edgar. The only thing he found were Samantha's legs and when his hand started to climb up her legs she quickly moved them up to her chest wrapping her arms around them. Sig's hand pull back as if shocked. When he pulled his arm out of the water the bubbles were displaced enough to see that the tub was empty except for Samantha. Sig turned an angry frown onto Samantha who merely shrugged in response. Deciding to change tactics Sig took a seat on the toilet across from the bathtub.
"Have you thought about what you are going to do now?" he asked.
"Not really" said Samantha.
"If I were you I'd want to get that squared away as soon as possible" said Sig. "Everyday you sit up here is wasted time."
"You're right" said Samantha thoughtfully.
Sig smiled in self satisfaction, this conversation was going just the way he hoped. He wouldn't have to worry about Edgar if Samantha chose to leave.
"Well I should go, sorry to interrupt your bath" said Sig.
"Yes, well just try not to make a habit of it" said Samantha waving her hand dismissively.
Sig left the hotel room after opening the closet to double check Edgar wasn't hiding in it. Once the door closed Samantha eased herself out of the bathtub and got dressed. She had a man to see about a job.
Later that afternoon she headed to the Northwestern with a spring in her step and a twinkle in her eye. As she approached the dock she saw the guys loading on boxes of frozen bait. She stood in a shadow and watched as Edgar barked out orders to the guys on deck. She wondered if he'd gotten a stern talking to from Sig or if he'd managed to avoid the confrontation. Moving from her spot she walked towards the deck of the boat. Jake noticed her first and waved tentatively. His movement caught Norman's eye who silently regarded her, his poker face giving her no hint of the mood on deck.
"Hi guys" she said.
"Hi Antha, are you here to help?" asked Matt.
"It looks like you have everything well in hand" said Samantha.
"Yes, well you've missed all the back breaking labor we've been forced to do" said Nick.
"Oh really? On a Sunday? That seems rather sacrilegious" commented Samantha.
"The devil himself couldn't work us harder than we worked today" said Matt.
Edgar hopped up onto the dock and gave Samantha a brief peck on the cheek. His eyes traveled over her body and when they returned to her face he had an odd look of longing.
"What's up?" asked Samantha quietly.
"Psycho Sig is on the rampage again" said Edgar.
"Sorry, I feel like this is probably partly my fault" said Samantha.
"It's not, he's just mad. I'll tell you all about it later" said Edgar.
"Ok. I have some news to tell you too" said Samantha.
"Oh really? Tell me now" said Edgar.
Before Samantha could explain Sig appeared on deck his ire coming off of him in waves.
"What is she doing here?" asked Sig angrily.
Edgar started to answer but Samantha stepped in front of him and addressed Sig.
"I just came to pick up the tapes from Eric" said Samantha simply.
"Why?" countered Sig.
"Because after our enlightening discussion this morning about me finding a job I got one" said Samantha.
"Doing what? Being someone's gofer? I would think you'd be better than that" said Sig snidely.
"Well I'll collect my own tapes, that way I can get any notes the guys have" said Samantha.
"What exactly are you doing?" asked Sig suspiciously.
"I"m going to pre-edit the tapes before they get sent back to LA" said Samantha. "It's exactly like my old job, only I can do it while I'm up here."
"I thought you were fired" said Sig.
"Yes, well when I went in to speak to someone about any open positions they seemed rather surprised at my abrupt firing and immediately hired me back" said Samantha proudly.
Edgar had turned to face Samantha his mouth opened slightly in shock. He'd expected her to leave when they went back out to fish, but the prospect of having her waiting for him on the dock was thrilling.
"Are you going to celebrate your new job by taking us all out to dinner?" asked Matt.
"As tempting as that is, I already have plans for tonight" said Samantha. "And it only involves one crew member."
"He's busy" said Sig.
Samantha turned to look at Sig confusion written on her face.
"What are you going with Eric?" asked Samantha.
"Nothing" said Sig.
"So why can't I see him tonight?" asked Samantha.
Sig realized what she'd said and muttered something about the impossibility of women before walking back inside. Samantha turned towards Edgar giving him a quick hug.
"I hope to see you later, if you can escape your jailer" said Samantha.
"I'll definitely see you later" whispered Edgar.
