Series masterlist

Chapter 8: As the Crow Flies

The return to the yacht was underwhelming. You don’t know what you expected, but it wasn’t a completely smooth transition, that’s for sure. You really thought Joel would pull another 180 now that you crossed the ultimate line, push you back to an arm’s length away, and shut everything down again. Instead, he was just… normal. It was as disconcerting as it was soothing.

Your moments together reverted to shared smiles across the deck, morning coffee chats, longing glances while you worked, and a quiet goodnight before heading to bed. The only change from ‘before’ was the addition of little, soft kisses stolen when no one else was around. Those were your favorite moments, as short and sporadic as they were with a crew this size. Joel’s kisses left you floating on air every single time. You’d never tire of them.

The two of you were still careful, though. Joel was adamant that you did not show the change in your relationship in front of the crew and there could be no evidence of it in front of charter guests. You agreed, more than happy with the way things were progressing as it was. You were not about to push his boundaries now that he’d given in so much.

The biggest change you’d noticed after the events at the resort was your propensity to drift off into daydreams. It was becoming a bad habit.

“Earth to Brit!” Sarah’s voice startled you, drawing your attention to the young woman standing with her hands on hips, brows pinched. “Can you stop daydreaming about my dad for five freaking minutes and help me with something?”

You were sitting in the crew mess enjoying a quick snack break, completely unaware of the daze you were in as Sarah called out to you several times. Heat rushed up your neck to your soft cheeks and you mumbled a quick apology. Sarah was finding immense joy in teasing you about her dad now and you fought off embarrassment each time. She was smart, though, and never teased you in front of others.

“What do you need help with?”

“Follow me, I’ll show you.” Sarah led the way up to the bridge, your curiosity mounting with each step.

“What are we –” Your words cut off as Sarah shoved you through the door. You spun to see her slamming it shut in your face. “What the bloody hell?” you breathed, baffled at the younger woman’s behavior.

A soft chuckle had you spinning in place again, eyes meeting Joel’s dark eyed gaze. “She’s a bit dramatic sometimes,” he said, his broad form moving closer to you. The bridge was empty but for the two of you and he pulled you to him as he closed the distance. “I needed to see you and Sarah offered to be the messenger.”

Snuggling into Joel’s broad chest, you breathed in the crisp, delicious scent of him. “What did you need to see me about?” Your head tipped back to gaze up at him.

“Something really important,” Joel replied, slipping his glasses off. His right arm held you tight against his chest, your own arms wrapped around his shoulders, hands clasped behind his neck.

“Oh?” You wracked your brain thinking of what he could possibly need to see you about. This week’s charter guests were due to arrive soon, and you needed to get down to your cabin to change into your whites. “What is it?”

Eyes remaining locked on yours, Joel leant impossibly closer, your bodies practically sharing the same skin at this point. “This,” he murmured, and his lips slotted against yours in the next breath. You weren’t expecting it, a pleased gasp leaving your mouth, and Joel took full advantage, his tongue darting past your open lips to tangle with your own.

Fucking hell, the man could kiss. You would never tire of kissing him. The plumpness of his pouty lips, the taste of him, the way his tongue caressed yours, it was all so overwhelming to the senses. You could stay like that forever, pressed against each other with your fingers weaving through his curly locks, but duty called as your name came over the radio.

“Tommy always did have horrible timing,” Joel grumbled, breaking the kiss. Stepping back, quick hands ran down your sides, straightening your uniform. “You should answer that. The guests will be here soon.”

Flustered, a needy ache in your belly, you responded to Tommy, letting him know you’re on your way to your cabin to change. Stepping forward, you brushed Joel’s lips with yours in a chaste kiss. “I’ll see you later.”

“You can count on it, sweetheart.” Joel’s lips twitched into a lopsided grin, winking at you as you stepped out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I think I’m in love.”

The five words were spoken into the air out of nowhere.

Your head snapped toward Tommy in surprise. His voice sounded so serious, but he had to be joking, right? He didn’t seem the type to fall in love, especially at first sight, more of the consummate bachelor playboy type. “With whom?” you inquired as you both brought out the water toys.

It had to be one of the charter guests as he didn’t seem interested in any of the crew. They were a group of women in their mid-thirties who were all friends from law school, now scattered across the country in various high-powered law positions.

“Maria,” Tommy replied dreamily. There was a smile on his face, a glaze in his eyes you’d never seen before. He was a man smitten. “She’s stunning. Did you see that smile? Brighter than the fuckin’ sun, I tell ya. And her skin! So dark and flawless. She’s perfect.”

Yeah, he had it bad. You did not have Tommy Miller falling in love at first sight on your bingo card this season. It made you wonder if that’s how Joel felt about you.

“She’s brilliant, too. She’s a prosecutor at the DA’s office. In Austin, no less. She transferred there last year.”

“What? How do you know all that already?” you asked, surprised. “They just came aboard like five minutes ago.”

His chest puffed up proudly. “She told me,” Tommy explained. His face was lit up with brilliant happiness. “I helped her find the sundeck. Said she liked my accent and asked where I was from. It just spiraled from there. Can you believe that?”

You smiled at the happy coincidence. The Miller brothers were having a great season in the romance department, it appeared. “Are you going to ask her out?”

“Fuck yeah, I am. Not ‘til the end of the charter though. I don’t need Joel up my ass about impropriety and whatnot.” After a beat, he glanced at you with a broad grin. “Actually, speaking of impropriety, maybe you could keep him distracted for me so I can get to know Maria more. You know how he is about the crew mixing with guests.”

“Oh, hell no, I am not getting in the middle of you two.” You laughed, patting him on the shoulder. “It took me more than half the season to get him to kiss me, you must pay your dues, mate. Or just sneak around like the rest of us do.”

Tommy laughed raucously. You loved seeing him like this, all that happy, boyish energy bubbling over the surface. It made working with him so much fun. The pair of you continued chatting as you worked, though most of the conversation revolved around his dogged teasing you about Joel.

“I’m just glad the old man still got it!” he declared when you assured him that Joel did not, in fact, ‘blow his wad’ in the first two minutes.

“Indeed, he does.” Your mind flashed back to that night, your bodies tangled up in the sheets and each other, round after round of mind-blowing sex and equally intimate conversations. Yet the best part of the entire thing was waking up in his arms feeling cared for and wanted. It was something you hadn’t experienced in a very long time, and you weren’t sure if Joel even realized how much that meant to you.

Tommy watched your eyes glaze over and smirked. He knew his brother had it bad for you and you just confirmed for him that you felt the same way about his brother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first day of the charter was mellow, the group of women lawyers preferring to relax and enjoy the decadent food and sunbathe on the sun deck rather than go crazy with activities. The second day they wanted to do something adventurous, and Sarah booked them a shark dive. Two of the deck hands needed to accompany them and all four of you wanted in.

“Well, we can’t all go. How about we play rock, paper, scissors?” Tommy suggested. He could have pulled rank and picked someone – he really wanted to show off for Maria, after all – but he was a gentleman at heart and wanted to make it fair. You laughed at the suggestion, but readily agreed.

The first round, Jake lost to your rock. Next Ellie lost to Tommy’s scissors.

“Come the fuck on, man!” Ellie complained. “I never get to do the fun shit.”

“What are you talking about? You got to do all the ‘fun shit’ last season; you spoiled brat. Let someone else have a chance this season,” Tommy reasoned.

“That doesn’t count, it was last season!” The pair of them went back and forth for a while and Jake shuffled closer to your side.

“Are they always like this?” he asked, leaning down to whisper in your ear.  A chill ran down your back, but it wasn’t a pleasant one and you took a subtle step back.

“Always. They’ve known each other for a few years and argue like brother and sister.” Your focus remained on Tommy and Ellie as they argued, but you could feel the heat of Jake’s ice blue eyes on you.

“I understand her frustration, though. I was kinda hoping it would’ve been me and you going on this trip.”

Jake’s admission made you sigh. He certainly was tenacious and did not pick up on subtle hints. He was clearly waiting for an acknowledgement, but you had no idea what to say. You needed to let him down easy without affecting the dynamic of the team. Best to just be honest… or at least as honest as you could be given the situation.

“Listen mate, I’m flattered, really, but I’m with someone. Just wanted to put that out there in case you were hoping we could be something.” It was awkward and you watched his expression carefully, waiting for the change. Your experience taught you that a lot of men didn’t take rejection well.

Jake merely shrugged, a sheepish smile gracing his chiseled features. “Tommy warned me that would be your response to any advances. I had to shoot my shot though, yeah?”

Relieved at his response, you nodded with a laugh. “Don’t know until you try?”

“Exactly!” Jake grinned, bumping your shoulder. “Friends then?”

“Yeah mate,” you confirmed. The vibe changed at once, morphing into playful camaraderie as the awkwardness washed away. This was the way the team was meant to be, you thought, just people working together and having fun in this exciting environment. The pair of you tuned back in just in time for Tommy end the argument with Ellie.

“Finally, it’s settled. Brit and I are going on the shark dive and you two will stay back. You can take a break, have a swim or whatever, but make sure you’re available if the captain needs anything,” Tommy instructed. “Let’s get changed, Brit. They’re picking us all up by tender in thirty minutes.”

Tommy led the way down to the crew deck and you changed, quickly freshening up in the bathroom. You’d been diving a bunch but never on a dedicated shark dive. It sounded exhilarating and you hoped to actually see some sharks on the adventure. Just not any really big ones!

Twisting your hair into two braids an adjusting your rash guard one last time, you opened the cabin door to walk out, and face planted into Joel’s chest. “Ah, fuck!” you exclaimed, rubbing your tender nose as your eyes widened. “W-what are you doing here, Joel?”

“Sorry, sweetheart,” he replied, voice gravelly as his hands grasped your shoulders to steady you, strong fingers flexing into your skin. “I, uh, just wanted to tell you to have fun and be careful. I told Tommy he’s fired if anything happens to you.”

A giggle burst from your chest, surprising you both. “You can’t fire your own brother, Joel! I’ll be fine but thank you for caring about me.”

“I can if he let’s my girl get hurt,” he murmured, voice barely above a whisper. “And I care about you a lot.”

“Your girl, huh?” you ask, voice equally low and soft, barely dancing through the air to his ears. The grin spreading across your lips was involuntary, yet wholeheartedly welcome. Joel merely nodded, a gleam shining in those dark eyes as they gazed down at you like you were the most precious thing in the world.

You talked about everything under the sun at the resort, yet this was one topic that neither of you brought up – putting a label on what you were. It was early days, you figured, and decided not to push it. But your heart skipped a beat at hearing him call you his girl and the anxiety in your belly you didn’t even realize was there vanished. You needed that label after all.

Glancing around to make sure they were alone, he ducked into your cabin and placed a soft, sensuous kiss on your lips. “My girl.” Your lips tingled long after he slipped away.

“Let’s roll, Brit!” Tommy called, running up the stairs to the top decks with the excitement of a young child on Christmas morning. Chuckling to yourself, you followed. The guests were waiting on the aft deck, chatting animatedly. You watched as Maria gravitated toward Tommy �� they were like magnets, those two, and it warmed your heart.

The afternoon was a blast. The tender picked the group up right on time, taking you fifty miles west of Puerto Rico proper to the rocky coast of Mona Island. A few of the women, including Maria and the primary guest, were SCUBA certified and they geared up for the dive with Tommy. The rest of the women were given snorkeling gear and you guided them through shallower turquoise waters to see a variety of coral fish, sea turtles, and reef sharks.

After a couple of hours, the guests were pleased to have seen several sharks on their dive including a hammerhead and were ready to head back to the yacht. Tommy flirted outrageously with Maria the entire trip, causing the beautiful woman to burst into spontaneous giggle fits. They were really cute, and you hoped that Tommy followed through with asking her out.

“How was the trip?” Joel asked, greeting the guests as you and Tommy helped them off the tender.

“Wonderful! We saw so much!” the primary exclaimed, regaling Joel with a colorful account of their adventure and the sharks they saw. He winked at you as he listened intently.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dinner on the third night started out strong. Tess’ culinary delicacies were on point, as always, and the guests were pleased with every dish that came out of the galley the entire time. The preference sheets indicated that none of the guests had any significant dietary restrictions, and they were open to trying new things, so Tess designed a menu to showcase her best work. For dinner on the third night, Tess opted for a Japanese Omakase, preparing a variety of sushi dishes she thought the guests would enjoy with one course consisting of uni.

The interior team went above and beyond with the table decorations, going with a sea theme featuring turquoise sea glass, starfish, shells, and sailor ropes strategically placed across the table. Their service was on par as well, with you and Ellie jumping in to assist with bringing up the food.

“This is delicious,” the primary told Sarah as they finished the second course – a salmon temaki. “Compliments to the chef.”

Everyone was happy and having fun… until they weren’t.

Tommy and Jake just cleared the plates from the second course, making room for the third course. Sarah led the way with Emmy, Talia, Sammy, Ellie, and you following, each with a plate and a glass of dry sake in hand.

“For the third course, we have uni sashimi accented with lemon and a dash of salt, and a ponzu drizzle. It is paired with Junmai dry sake. Enjoy,” Sarah explained as the plates were set down in front of the guests with intricate coordination that Sarah made you all run through three times.

Initial murmurs indicating they loved the presentation and taste, you all turned to head back down to the galley in preparation for the fourth course. You were the last one to step through the door, just catching the hint of something gone wrong as you crossed the threshold.

It started off as a clearing of the throat, nothing atypical, but you paused. Something about it seemed… off. It didn’t stop, quickly turning to loud wheezing and the clear signs of someone struggling to breathe. Spinning on your heels, your eyes searched the table. The women’s eyes were all on the primary guest, her face flushed as she struggled to breathe. Was it your imagination or were her lips slightly bigger than they were moments ago, too?

Everything clicked in your head – she was having an allergic reaction to the uni. You’d heard of it before but never witnessed an anaphylactic reaction before. Your training kicked in immediately and you sent out a distress call over the radio, your voice clear, belying your internal panic. “Medical assistance needed on the sundeck! Repeat: medical assistance needed on the sundeck.”

“Help her, please!” Maria begged, dark eyes wide and panicked as her slender hands gripped your forearm. “I didn’t know she had any food allergies!”

You rushed to the primary’s side, helping her lay back on the deck. Hives were spreading from the sensitive crease of her elbows down her arms, and you knew the same was likely happening on her belly. The wheezing was quickly getting worse. This was a severe reaction. Shit!

Where was everyone? How were you the only one on the deck?

You were just about to make another call for help over the radio when Tommy and Joel came crashing onto the sundeck, a med kit in Joel’s hands.

“She’s having an allergic reaction. Hives and compromised breathing,” you blurted, heart beating out of your chest from the adrenaline. The primary was just starting to lose consciousness, the swelling closing her throat and preventing her from taking in a breath.

“Ok. There’s an injector pen in here,” Joel replied, calm and cool under pressure as his big hands quickly searched through the medical supplies. “Ah, here it is.” Tommy was already calling for medical transport.

Joel directed you to hold primary’s leg steady as he injected the pen into the meat of her outer thigh through the fabric of her dress. The epinephrine kicked in immediately, reducing the swelling of her tongue and throat, allowing the primary to breathe again.

Some of the guests were crying, worried for their friend, and Tommy stepped closer to comfort Maria as you and Joel continued to help the primary guest.

“What happened?” she asked, confused, as you dabbed at her forehead with a cool cloth napkin.

“You had an allergic reaction to the uni, doll. We gave you epinephrine,” Joel explained, gently holding her hand as she grasped for something to tether her back to reality. “The medics will be here any minute to take you to shore. You still need emergency care to make sure you’re ok.”

“Th-thank you,” the primary replied tearfully, and you helped her sit up against the railing with gentle movements. You sat with her until the medics arrived, making sure she was alright. The other women argued over who would go with her, finally coming to a decision as the primary was carried on a backboard onto the ferry.

Your hands were shaking from the adrenaline crash when Maria approached, grasping them. “Thank you for reacting so quickly and getting her help. I don’t want to think what would have happened if you weren’t there. You may have just saved her life.”

Stunned, you tried to stammer out a response before Joel wrapped an arm around your shoulders.

“She’s got a lion’s heart, this one,” Joel chimed in, beaming at you proudly. Unable to help himself, his thumb caressed your upper arm and you leant into the touch, soothing your spent nerves.

The rest of the evening was a blur after that excitement and Tommy sent you off to bed early, having earned it with your heroics. Before you could head down to your cabin, Joel texted you, asking you to join him on the bridge. Frank was standing at the helm when you arrived.

“Hey kid. Nice save today.” Frank’s kind eyes sparkled. “He’s in his quarters.”

“Thanks Frank!” You nodded, shooting him a half-smile as you turned in the direction of Joel’s private room. It warmed your heart that Joel was okay with his senior staff knowing about the two of you. He had significant trust in them after years of friendship and working together.

Your knuckles barely rapped against the door before it was ripped open and you were unceremoniously tugged into the room. Large, warm hands grasped your face, dark eyes staring into your own, searching for something.

“Sweetheart,” Joel breathed, the puff of air washing over your skin. “You did amazin’ today. Are you okay after all that?”

You nodded, drained from the adrenaline rush and subsequent crash. “I’m alright. That was intense and I’m exhausted, but otherwise I’m fine.”

“Good.” His lips pressed against yours, needy and wanting, as his hands roamed your body. His tongue teased at your puffy bottom lip, seeking entrance to dance with your own. Your lips parted, deepening the kiss until you were both breathless. Thick fingers tangled in your disheveled hair, holding you close as Joel’s mouth met yours again and again in a series of longing kisses.

“I wish I could stay here with you tonight,” you said, hating the neediness in your voice. “I slept so well with your arms around me the other night.”

“Believe me, I want nothing more, but we can’t. I’m sorry, sweetheart.” Wide, puppy eyes were glassy and remorseful as they stared down at you. “I…”

“No, it’s okay,” you cut him off. “I know we can’t, but it’s a nice thought.” Tucking your head against his chest, you breathed Joel in, enjoying the scent and warmth of him. Perhaps you would be here with him in your dreams.
