The next paper was the ship activities schedule. There were games by the pool, rules to be explained before the games, as well as tournaments such as “Who has the reddest Ass,” “Who’s Tits are the Biggest,” and the one Sadie couldn’t wait to see “Who has the biggest Cock?” They also had poker tournaments and, as she read the stipulations to play, she realized, money wasn’t one of them.
She saw that after the show tonight they were going to do a crew auction for anyone who wanted to be involved; they would do it on the first night of the cruise. This would give the crewmembers the choice of staying auctioned for the seven-night cruise or they could just spend the required twenty-four hours with the purchaser. The money also went to a charity of their choice.
Sadie was considering entering, so far she hadn’t made any progress on her own with her love life, maybe by putting herself out there she just might find someone who would understand her. The last two pieces of paper were a list of extension numbers for all the cabins on the ship, numbers for all security personal, and a map of the ship.
She was looking over the lists and glancing at the map when she heard the two long blows of the ship’s horn. She grabbed her cabin card and map figuring there would be time to explore before she had to start working and headed out the door. She followed the map to the elevator, going down to the staff deck. As the doors closed, Sadie grinned realizing why she was sleeping in a special cabin. Being the star of the show must come with some special perks. She decided then to enjoy every one of them.

She made it outside and found Madison and Isabella, two of the girls who were in the show with her. Madison was taller then Sadie with long brunette hair and moss green eyes. Isabella was her polar opposite; she was shorter than Sadie with shoulder length blonde hair and sky blue eyes. Everyone had their own nickname for her, some called her Bella, others called her Issy, and then there were those who called her Bell.
She ran over and gave them each a hug, asking them what parts they got. Madison answered first, “I get to do the strip tease and sing in the Piano Bar during the day.”
“I get to do the guest fantasy for the whole cruise, since it’s never been done, I felt kind of honored. But, I have to waitress at dinner every night. What did you get?” she asked Sadie.
“I get to sing in the Master’s Lounge during the day and I get to play Penny. I can’t believe Gabe chose me for the part. I haven’t been this excited about something in a long time.”
“Who do you think got ‘Big Mama?’” Bella asked.
Sadie and Madison looked at each other and laughed saying at the same time, “Olivia!” They all laughed together.
Olivia was the perfect person to play the part of Big Mama, she was the madam of the show and MC’d it. Olivia was a Dominatrix, and had done some modeling, earning her the cover of a few magazines. She and Dimitri had grown up together like brother and sister as the families spent so much time together.
The entire crew met the limo clapping and cheering as it pulled up to the ship. The scaffolding had been set up for the media, but they weren’t due till ten. By then, the crew and passengers would already be on board for the send off.
They got out of the car with Melanie and Olivia, and looked at the crew smiling as they walked towards Captain Joshua standing at the bottom of the stairs. The crew gathered together looking towards Dimitri and who Sadie assumed, was Cameron. She thought it odd that she had never seen him until now. Even now, she really didn’t get a good look at him. While Dimitri frequently attended rehearsals, he made it a point to know everyone who worked for him by name, and inquire about their life, but she had never seen Cameron. She just figured he was too busy with all the legalities involved with running a cruise ship, were Dimitri was the more “let’s get the show on the road” kind of guy.
Captain Joshua had been nominated to do the presentation. “Dimitri, Cameron, when you first came to me with this idea, I thought you were crazy. I really didn’t think you’d be able to pull it off, but just like everything else you put your mind too, you made this happen. We would all like to say, thank you for the opportunity to make history as being part of the first BDSM cruise line. As well as putting your trust in me personally to make sure the ship doesn’t run aground,” he said with a little chuckle. “All kidding aside, we all feel very honored for you putting your trust in us to make this dream a reality for you both. Now, please christen this ship so I can get back to the bridge and get this voyage started.”
Captain Joshua shook hands with both men and handed them the bottle of Dom Pérginon and a pair of scissors. They cut the ribbon and climbed the stairs to the top and looked down at the crew. “We would also like to say thank you,” Dimitri said, looking at the champagne bottle then at the faces of the crew. “You bought the good stuff.” Laughing, he showed it to Cameron, who stood quietly next to him.
“You have helped make our dream come true, as well as what we hope to be a very profitable venture. We are about to embark on a journey that, for us, is a shot in the dark. We have handpicked each and every one of you and we are very proud of the family we have built. Thank you again.” With that, he turned and walked to the end of the scaffolding. Leaning forward, he raised his arm and said, “I now christen thee, Onyx, the first ship for the Midnight Oasis Cruise Line. He brought his arm down as smashed the bottle against the ship.
The crew began to clap again, as they made their way back down the stairs, greeting Cameron and Dimitri as they made their way past them onto the ship. Sadie had been standing with Madison and Isabella during the ceremony. She smiled from ear to ear listening to Dimitri. She did feel pretty proud. She was a part of this new experience. She just prayed it paid off. Getting a recording contract was what she was hoping for. She could see herself standing on a stage with hundreds of people waiting for her to begin singing. Just thinking about it sent chills all over her body.
By the time she came out of her daydream, Dimitri, Cameron, Melanie, and Olivia, had all boarded. She ran to catch up with Madison and Isabella. “Did you guys see Cameron? I don’t know why but I pictured him kind of like Dimitri. His hair is darker and way longer, and I pictured him without facial hair.” From where the girls were standing, it was difficult to look directly at them, but Sadie had seen him as he walked across the scaffolding with Dimitri. He had looked familiar.
“Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t throw him out of my bed, even if he is my boss. I just pictured something different.” Changing the subject, Sadie asked, “Where are your cabins?”
“We are actually sharing a cabin on the Fantasy Deck. Cabin 405. Where are you?” Bella asked. They had reached the security check and each of them gave Caleb, the security specialist she had previously met, their ID cards to check back on board,
When Isabella reached to take her card from Caleb’s hand, she jerked back when it didn’t release in her hand. She was ready to snap at Caleb until she looked into his eyes. “Is there something wrong with my ID?” she asked stepping to the side.
Caleb, turned to her releasing her ID. “I just wanted to tell you that should you enter the auction; you will be spending the rest of this cruise with me,” he told her confidently.
Isabella looked him in those coco brown eyes smiling, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes and said, “What if I don’t enter the auction?”
“Then your charity would be missing out on a very hefty donation, because you will still be spending your time on the cruise with me.” Caleb knew the minute he saw Isabella that she was his.
Isabella had a vulnerable look about her, which she tried really hard to hide. He felt a strong need to protect her, and Caleb had learned to follow his instincts.
Isabella couldn’t believe this ruggedly handsome man was staking a claim on her, in front of everyone there. “As long as you can handle me doing the guest fantasies every night, you got a deal.” She needed him to know she would not be exclusive to him for this voyage, but that didn’t mean it couldn’t
lean towards that on another.
Caleb smiled at her, placing a kiss on the palm of her hand. “I’ll enjoy watching you perform on stage.” He looked her in the eye. “But when you are with me, there will be no performing; I want to know the true you.
“Deal?” He released her hand
“Deal.” She turned and met up with Madison and Sadie by the elevators. As she approached, she heard Sadie asking.
“Are you guys going to do the auction? I think I want to do it but I don’t want to do it alone. I’ve never done something like that. I’ve always been the attractive one not the model type,” Sadie stated while they waited for the elevator.
Isabella answered still looking at Caleb. “I will be. I have a homeless shelter from my neighborhood that’s going to benefit very well according to Caleb.”
She turned and looked at them. “That man did nothing but hold my hand and talk to me and my panties are soaking wet. This is going to be the best job. Who knew when I signed on that I could meet someone like Caleb?”
The elevator door opened and they got in, Madison looked between Sadie and Bella and just shook her head. “I guess I’ll enter the auction too. I don’t want to be left out.” They all laughed as the doors closed.
Chapter Three
Cameron and Dimitri headed straight to their penthouse suites on the Executive Deck. They needed to clean up before the media arrived for the official send off. Once they were out of port, he would find Sadie, and introduce himself to her.
Cameron had the ships barber meet him in the suite and had Mario cut his wavy black hair to just below his ears, showing off both diamonds in them. He then had him trim his moustache to meet his thin chin beard. He handed Mario a generous tip as he left to return to the salon. After showering, he dressed in a gray Palazzi suit, black silk shirt, and a gray and white tie. He brushed his hair back away from his face, and let it dry naturally.
He and Dimitri met the media on the bridge where they were to do a short interview explaining how the ship had been designed to their special specifications and introduce Captain Joshua. Next, a tour was given; they started on the Bondage Deck. This was where the dining room, the gift shops, and the Onyx Theater were located. There were also four suites on this deck with windows that were designed strictly for bondage.
On the Fantasy Deck you could find Guest Relations, the piano bar with a dance floor, and the casino. The suites on this deck were designed strictly for passenger fantasies; and were called the Fantasy Suites.
The Harem Deck had been totally renovated for this ship, having a sports bar and a pool. This deck had been set-up as an arena dungeon, like Dimitri’s office only with more equipment. Security was also located on this deck. The media took most of their pictures here.
The top deck was the Executive Deck. Here was an exercise room, a spa/salon, hot tub, with a tanning spot, and the Master’s Lounge. This deck also had the Executive, Penthouses, and Master Suites.
After the tour was finished, they went back down to the crew entrance, escorted the media to the scaffolding and did the official send off. The ship was set to leave port at 1:00 pm. Cameron and Dimitri wanted everything with the launch to go off without a hitch.
“We would like to thank you all for coming to the maiden voyage of the Onyx. We are confident that this will be the first of many voyages to come. I know some of you are skeptical about our cruise line, but let me assure you this is a lifestyle. As much as the public would like to think it’s dark and shady, I am asking you to have an open mind as you write your articles. We are trying to let the world know that everything is not black and white. This lifestyle doesn’t have to be a dark secret,” Dimitri said to all listening. “We would like to thank you for abiding with our strict privacy policy in regards to picture taking. The privacy of our passengers is of the utmost importance to us.”
“Cameron, would you do the honors?” Dimitri handed him the bottle of champagne.
“I christen thee Onyx! With that, Cameron raised his arm and smashed the bottle against the ship.
The cameras were snapping. The guests lining the rails wearing party masks all clapped, Cameron and Dimitri descended the stairs waving to the media as they walked to the crew entrance.
As they walked through the door, it closed and sealed. They checked with Nicolas as they entered to make sure everything was in order for them to depart.
“We’re good to go, all crew and passengers have been checked in, and the captain says this baby is primed to leave.” Nicolas shook both men’s hand then followed them to the elevator.
When the doors for the elevator opened on the Harem Deck, they went to the railing with all the passengers. They shook hands with passengers as they passed them, receiving congratulations as they went.
They stood at the railing hearing the horn blow three times as it was escorted from port by the tugboats. Once they were in the New York Harbor passing the Statue of Liberty they turned with big smiles to each other and said at the same time, “We did it.”
***
Sadie, Madison, and Isabella were standing by the railing on the Fantasy Deck, “That was an awesome speech, I really hope they got what he was talking about. Well, I better get to the Master’s Lounge. I think this is the first time ever I’m looking forward to going to work,” Sadie said, smiling at the girls.
“Me too; I’m heading to the Piano Bar. Isabella what are you going to do till dinner?” Madison asked her.
“I’m meeting with Gabe to go over possible fantasies for tonight. I want to be prepared for anything. Meet by the dressing rooms before the auction?”
“Sounds good to me; see you then.” With that, Sadie, Madison and Bella went their separate ways.
Sadie had explored the ship in between christenings; she was trying to make sure she could make her way around the ship without the map. She gave herself two days to have it down. She headed to the elevator and as it rose up to the Executive Deck, she could see the passengers already using one of the St. Andrew’s crosses, and a spanking bench. She wondered if she would be able to be that public when she found her Dom.
Sadie had also changed before heading up to watch the ship leave port. She was wearing a white corset that pushed her breasts up, with a matching thong, garters and thigh high stockings, under a beautiful white Chanel gown she had found in her closet. There were already several other gowns waiting for her with matching shoes and bags. To complete the outfit, she’d chosen a pair of Louboutin shoes with five-inch heels. She had put some eyeliner and mascara on, as well as lipstick. Her hair she had swept to one side and it cascaded down to her breast. On her ears, she wore her only jewelry, a pair of diamond earrings she had received from her parents as a gift.
She had looked at herself in the mirror, and for the first time in her life, Sadie had felt beautiful. She held her head high and knew that this was where her life was going to change. Smiling to herself one more time in the mirror, she had turned, grabbed her key and bag and headed to a new beginning.
***
When she arrived, there was no one behind the bar. There was, however, a very large man sitting at the bar. She looked around the room; the carpet was a mix of gray, purple, and black. The bottom part of the walls was made of a dark wood; the upper part was painted in a light wine color. There were frosted sconces on them that gave an intimate lighting to the room.
The dark cherry bar straight ahead looked similar to the one in Dimitri’s office, with the mirrors behind, and LED colored lighting, only on a larger scale. To the right side of the bar was a swinging set of doors leading to the kitchen area, to the left side of the bar was a beautiful white baby grand piano. Opposite of the piano, there was a small dance floor. Tables were covered with gray table clothes and black napkins and topped with flameless LED candles. Fresh floral arrangements were spread around the room. The dark colors gave a romantic feeling to the room.
She was nervous walking straight down the center aisle into the bar not knowing what to ex
pect. As she walked up to the bar intending to introduce herself to the bartender, the man at the bar turned to her. He leaned his right elbow on the bar, looking at Sadie as if she belonged to him.
Sadie looked at the man and the arousal that ran through her went straight to her panties, he was absolutely beautiful. He had the brownest eyes that were almost black. His black hair was wavy to just below his ears showing off his diamond earrings. His beard and goatee gave him a sinister look. Her gaze moved downward taking in the rest of his body, she could tell he had his nipples pierced, by how the black ribbed tank fit across his chest. A tattoo started just below his left ear and continued down under his shirt onto his chest. A tattoo on his right bicep was of a skull with a rose running through it. On his left arm there was what looked like a piece of art. It was a tribal half sleeve; she wondered why he had chosen it.
Her eyes went down further to his black leather pants that fit like a second skin, and Sadie felt her face flush, as the bulge in his pants grew to what looked to be very painful.
Sadie’s eyes shot up to his face and she flushed again because, by the smirk on his face, he knew exactly where her eyes had been.
Sadie knew just looking at him that he was dangerous, not only physically, but also emotionally. This was the type of guy Sadie had always been attracted to, but knew was bad for her.
He cocked his head to the right and roamed his eyes from her head to her toes. She felt his eyes on every part of her body, as he moved them from her face to her breasts, her nipples hardened painfully against the corset. Moving down to her stomach then further down to the junction between her legs, she felt her clit swell as his gaze hit her pussy.
