It began because I was out of uniform.
I am Commander William Stanforth, Will to friends, and I was in command of the destroyer USS Dorian Gray. I was posted to Dorian Gray 11 months ago; I had been a desk jockey at the Pentagon. This was my first sea posting for a number years and I was thoroughly enjoying it, for the most part.
We were delayed in Pearl by a major turbine failure which happened hours after our original departure. Part of what I didn't like. We were now making best speed for the northwest coast of Australia where we were scheduled to take part in joint exercises with the Australian, New Zealand and Indian navies.
We were two days out when the air conditioning units failed. Another part of what I didn't like. It failed when the temperature was 95 degrees F. Needless to say everyone was sweating in the heat. I ordered scuppers set up to draw air into the interior and every possible hatch and porthole opened to increase airflow. I also gave permission for those on duty to wear shorts and t-shirts rather than regular duty wear.
At 2030, I decided to retire to my at-sea cabin, a small cabin with rack, a couple of chairs and a desk, and private head. Once in the cabin, I stripped off my sweaty uniform and pulled on fresh boxers. I sat down and booted up my personal laptop to read emails from my wife and kids. My wife had sent an explicitly sexy email -- something we always did when apart. I was enjoying that email, and the effects it was having on my cock, when there was a knock on the hatch.
I was expecting the XO or the Chief Engineer to be making a report on the air conditioning as I had requested, so making myself a little more presentable, i.e. stuffing my cock back inside my boxers, I said, "Enter." I was surprised to see a young seaman wearing sweaty t-shirt and shorts come in juggling an electric fan and a large bowl of ice cubes. I leaped up to assist him. "What's this?"
"Compliments of Chief Hemperer, sir, Captain, ah... Commander... ah, sir," he stammered in confusion. Confusion in part because of his first one-on-one with the Captain and in part because of the semi-rigid state of my cock which I noticed he noticed.
"Captain or sir will do, Seaman..." I paused waiting for him to fill in his name. He just looked me. "Your name is..."
"Oh, sorry, sir," and he snapped to attention, "Seaman Apprentice Andrew Baskins, sir, service number 34..."
"Whoa, whoa, Baskins. This isn't an interrogation, I just couldn't remember your name. Now, why did Chief Hemperer send me this stuff?"
"Ah... he heard you had gone to bed... no, retired to your cabin, sir, and because the air conditioning will not be working soon, he thought this might make things more comfortable, sir."
"And he sent the most junior member of Engineering because...?" I asked rhetorically.
Baskins manfully tried to answer, "Well, sir, because I was not doing... well, I was..."
I held up my hand, "Because as junior man you are least likely to invoke the Captain's wrath." I laughed. "Relax, Baskins, and set up your gear."
I watched the seaman plug in the fan and place the bowl of ice in front of it. He then adjusted and readjusted the position in order to maximize the effect. Baskins was about 18 years old, maybe 5'8" and a very slim 135. His very fair hair emphasized his youth.
I had the sense he would manipulate the contraption all night if I allowed him, "Thank you, Baskins, that is perfect. You can tell Chief Hemperer I appreciate his thoughtfulness and I await his progress report asap."
Baskins actually bowed himself out of the cabin, much to my amusement.
I returned to my wife's email and to drafting my 'appropriate' response. She was up very early and we got into an exchange of dirty emails for a couple of hours. I sat stroking my cock as we exchanged messages talking of what we would like to be doing at that very moment. A couple of hours later, we had just concluded our conversation because she had to get ready for her workday when there was a knock.
Again I stuffed my cock back into my boxers and said, "Enter." Instead of a senior officer making a report, it was young Baskins bringing more ice. "Another message from Chief Hemperer?" I asked.
His response surprised me, "No, sir, I just thought I would make sure you had enough ice for the night, sir." He held up what he was holding.
"That was very thoughtful, Baskins. Not necessary but thoughtful." He blushed. "Go ahead, fill it up." He very slowly topped up the ice. I examined his body language as he did so. "Ok, Baskins, what's up?"
"Sir? What uh... I don't know... what...?"
"Baskins, the truth. Why are you here, now?"
His blush deepened. His stammer worsened. His breathing sped up.
I waited until his breathing returned to normal. "Alright, Andrew, slowly now. You came here tonight because..."
He looked at me and burst out crying. Between his sobs he tried to speak but it was incomprehensible to me. I motioned him into the chair beside me and laid my hand over his. He grabbed my hand in both of his and brought it up to his lips. He kissed my hand.
