Jacob and Shawn had been together for five years, but Jacob was growing increasingly dissatisfied with Shawn's lackluster sexual prowess. How long had it even been? Hoping to rekindle their love life Jacob took the initiative to get them two tickets for a 5-day cruise on the BNWO Gay Cruise line. He'd never heard of it, but he couldn't pass up the prices. The website made the cruise absolutely stunned. A three-deck ship with nightly live music, access to a pool, gym, and in room Jacuzzis. It was a dream for sure. Even Shawn seemed thrilled about it, excited to finally have a week off from his job. Accounting brought in good money but wasn't always the most thrilling.
The cruise ship was a spectacle of elegance and decadence, and Jacob felt a thrill of anticipation as they boarded. The ship was filled with people from all walks of life. He had never been on a gay cruise before but it seemed fun to scape to a world all their own. After a calming first day on the ship getting acclimated the pair decided to take in the evening life that slowly shifted to night.
The ship's band sultry tune filled the evening air. Jacob and Shawn watched as the sun disappeared beyond the watery horizon, already miles beyond any sight of land. It was a beautiful scene as stars filled the night sky unbothered by the lack of city light to destroy their shine. Jacob and Shawn stood near the ships edge looking at the dark waters below. A shadowy and dangerous mystery lie below. Jacob ran his hand over Shawn's. Just below he could see the fins of fish trialing the ship. Were they dolphins or sharks?
"Would you like to go back to our room?" he asked in a raspy tone. The taller blonde took a sip of his drink and smiled.
"I'm alright." He answered. Jacob pulled his hand back. This was supposed to be a romantic cruise to rekindle their flame, and Shawn didn't seem at all interested.
"You know I was hoping we could," he paused giving Shawn a knowing look, "Its been quite a while."
"A while?" Shawn gave a chuckle. "It was like three days a go."
"Try three months." Jacob muttered. The brunette turned his back to the rail which for a brief moment made him feel woozy. Looking over the men on the shit he saw a buffet of bodies. Men that ranged from ripped bodies to beer belly guts. For the first time he took notice of how many men were black. He had become accustomed to gay spaced fill with white men and black men being the minority. This was beautiful change. He would have been all over this five years ago and yet here he was trying to do the right thing and be faithful to a man he hardly noticed him. Jacob couldn't help but have his gaze fall to the large packages some of these men were shameless in showing off. Shawn was certainly not packing that sort of heat. He gulped, "I'm going to get a drink." Jacob pushed himself forward and moved to the bar that sat only a few yards away. A pale blue light lit up the small, covered space. A few of the men chatted among themselves around the bar as Jacob asked the bartender for his order. The bartender was a dark skinned man with a piercing smile. His muscled flexed almost perfecting as he perfected Jacob's drink.
"Buy you a drink?" A low voice pierced his surroundings. Jacob turned to see the perfectly toned body of a 6'8 black man towering over him. He let out a slight chuckle, "I would but it's on the tab for the room."
"What a good excuse." The mystery man said. Jacob made a nonchalant glance up and down. The man had clearly just gotten out of the pool as small waterdrops still trickled down his firm body, catching themselves on the blue and turquoise speedo stretching for its life across his hips.
"Here you are, sir" The bartender handed Jacob his drink. Shawn couldn't help but notice the wink the bartender has the mysterious man to his left. Was he flirting with him? Jacob took a sip. It was a bit strong, but he liked it that way.
"What's your name?" The man asked. He leaned him arm on the bar causing his biceps to flex. Jacob took a step back.
"It's Jacob. And you?"
"Tyrone." The man said with a smile. His glistening white teeth sparked against the darkness of his skin. Jacob could feel his blood heating up.
"Well, I better get back to my partner." He said and tried to turn walk away but Tyrone grabbed his shoulder.
"Off so quickly?" The beautiful man followed Jacob, stepping rom the bar, "I know it couldn't be a disinterested in black men or why else would you be here?" He laughed. Jacob didn't understand what he had meant by that.
"You are very attractive." Jacob said softly, "Very. But I did come her with my partner, right over there" He pointed to Shawn who was still starring into the ocean.
"That scrawny white boy!" Tyrone left out a laugh that seemed to fill the bar. With one quick move his hand had cupped Jacob's ass, "That little white man doesn't deserve all this!" Jacob felt himself jump. He was offended by the lack of consent and some how slightly turned on.
"He's a good man." Jacob laughed trying to derail the moment. He pulled away from Tyrone and continued on towards Shawn. As he made it to Shawn's side, he couldn't help but look back at Tyrone who crossed his arms and leaned against one of the large canopy poles. Taking in his massive frame, he felt his dick jerk in his pants. He needed it bad. Leaning against the rail so he was in Shawn's line of sight he smiled, "Come on, babe. Let's go back to the room."
