Dream a Little Dream

He once again brushed briefly across her lips, and then made a trail down her neck with light gentle kisses. His trail ended by her breasts. C.C. shuddered as need welled up in her far more powerful than anything else she had ever felt.

As if sensing that she was at a breaking point, Niles quickly brought his lips to hers. He thrust his tongue between her parted lips and C.C. thought she was going to orgasm right there. She grabbed the back of his head, making sure he wasn't going anywhere as she drank in all the passion he gave and begged for more. His hands began tugging at her nightgown straps and she obligingly lowered her arms so he could get the straps off her...........

Once their passion was spent, he laid her back down and lay on his back, pulling her along with him. As he drifted back off to sleep, he kept whispering "My beautiful little C.C. I love you so." repeatedly. Once he was quietly snoring, C.C. slid out of his embrace. She quickly removed as much evidence as she could of their lovemaking.

She went to stand over Niles, looking down at him. She couldn't believe that he loved her. No way. It was just something he said in the heat of passion. Yes, that was it. She gently stroked his hair and leaned down, kissed him on the cheek. She was about to leave the room when she remembered the candles. Niles was NOT smart leaving candles burning on a ship while sleeping. She blew both of them out and smirked wondering what he would think in the morning. After all, the candles would be out and she couldn't remove the traces of lovemaking left on his body. Never once thinking that he might figure out what happened was more than a dream. Not realizing that she had left her drink and her panties in his room.

As she quietly shut the door, she decided to go to her room, change and head to the bar. She had A LOT she needed to think about and all before morning.

After having stopped in her room to change, C.C. sat back in her chair at a table in the bar, sipping her second drink. She was no closer to figuring out what she was going to do than she was an hour ago when she left Niles room. A shadow fell over her interrupting her train of thought. She jerked back and gasped as a figure loomed over her. Niles stood there, towering over her like a God of war, eyes blazing. She read anger and something else in them. What, she wasn't quite sure.

"What just happened here?" Niles voice was calm, only further adding to her anxiety.

"I assure you, I have no clue what you are talking about." C.C. said, a little loud than she meant to.

"Really? Then why did you look so startled to see me, hmm?"

"I was...just surprised you left your room looking like that." she snapped with a smirk.

"So you are telling me you were not in my room about an hour or so ago?"

"What are you, nuts?!" she sneered. "Why would I be in your room? Trust me, watching Yetta sleep would be far more entertaining than anything I would ever do with you." inwardly wincing at what she just said, knowing Niles would jump on it. Shit! She wasn't ready for this!

"Who said we were doing anything? And tell me." he said, reaching to the left side of her neck, brushing her hair back, revealing what was undoubtedly a small hickey slightly behind her ear and smirking. "I suppose you got that from a burn on a curling iron?"

C.C. eyes widen. "What are you talking about??" He took her hand and led her to the bar, where there was a mirror. He pointed out what he was talking about. C.C. stood there gaping in horror at the evidence.

Niles leaned over her shoulder and whispered in her ear, his hot breath causing C.C. to have a flurry of emotions course through her, none of which she was ready to deal with. "I gave you that. You know how I know? Dreams don't leave teeth and nail marks." His eyes met hers in the mirror and for one terrible second C.C. thought for sure she was going to faint.

"Ya know what," C.C. said pushing away from Niles, forcing herself to feel only one emotion, one that never let her down. Anger. "I don't want to discuss this right now." With that, she stormed out of the bar.

Niles stood there not sure what to do next. He had expected her to yell, argue, and even rage at him. But, just to storm off? He never thought that would happen. He started to sit down at the bar, but changed his mind. To hell with this, he thought. They were both adults and if he knew nothing else, he knew he enjoyed what just happened and he was pretty sure she did too. He turned and left the bar, searching for C.C.

He found her standing on the deck, starring out at the black inkiness of the night. She spoke without turning around; anger had given away to sadness. "Did you ever wish you could just fall into a void like that? Into nothing but blackness? Feel and think nothing? I try to achieve that with drinking but it never works."

Niles heart went out to her. Her voice was weak, she sounded in pain. Her reached up and tentatively touched her shoulder. She turned to face him and to his surprise and horror, there were tears streaming down her face.

"You want to know what just happened? I know what happened, but why it happened, I have no DAMNED clue. Happy now? I have no idea what possessed me to do...to do...what I did with you!" Straightening her spine and swiping her tears away, she hissed "I am C.C. Babcock and I certainly do not do things like that with servants!"

Letting out a sigh, he replied. "Why do we have to understand it? Look, C.C. I understand the position you are in and I am asking for nothing more from you but just one night. You and I as nothing more than a man and a woman. We can try to figure it all out later or just forget the whole thing, after. But on this night, let's just be a man and a woman, not aristocrat and servant. I felt something in there that I will not even begin to question, but I would like to feel it one more time, if I am to never feel it again." He was not buying into her anger, not this time. There was too much at stake for games.

As C.C. listened to his words, her anger vanished. In some weird, twisted way his words made sense. Or maybe they made sense only because she wanted them to. It didn't matter. She knew she wanted him, even if only one more time.

Her eyes a met his and he saw that old fire in them. "Ok." was all she said. Before she could say anything else, Niles mouth crushed down on hers. He bombarded her senses. His scent, his feel, his taste. Her hand came up to rake through his hair, her tongue shooting in and out of his mouth in an ancient dance of lovers. They both finally came up for air, the sounds of their panting the only noise in the deep night.

"I think," C.C. said in between pants, "we had better move this to your room."

"Oh I don't know," said Niles. "I have never made love on the deck of a ship." a wicked glint in his eye.

C.C. laughed. "As much fun as that sounds like, I wouldn't want to take a chance on being interrupted. I want to concentrate on just being with you, nothing else." Her voice dropping to sexy whisper.

"Well then, let's go. I don't know how much longer I can stand here looking at you without ripping your clothes off and taking you right here." The look in his eyes only backing up his words.

C.C. felt a little thrill at those words. Never had she been with someone whose passion for her was so great they could not control themselves. Nor had she been with anyone that she did not choose. That was, until tonight. She certainly did not want to be attracted to Niles. However, she was having a hard time fighting it. And just for tonight, she wouldn't. She would serve herself to him, mind, body and soul.

As Niles led her back to his room, C.C. was in mental turmoil. She knew, deep down, that she never wanted this to end, and that she didn't want this to just be one night. However, because of circumstances she knew it must. Maybe after she got sometime to think about things, maybe they could work something out. Little did she know that after tonight, it would be years before they once again acknowledged their attraction to each other. C.C. pushed all future thought aside as they entered the room. She let out a small gasp of surprise. Almost every tabletop in the room was covered with lit candles. There were bubbles in the Jacuzzi and soft music playing in the background. She didn't question how he knew that this would happen. She was just so flattered by what he did to make the already romantic atmosphere, even more so.

Niles smiled at her surprise. He took her hand and began leading her across the room. He smile widened as he recalled when he realized his nightly dream on this night had been a reality. He had awoke to the smell of smoke (from the candles that C.C. had blew out) and the quite shutting of his door. He had, at first thought that it had just been a neighboring shipmate, shutting their door. That was, until he moved. He then felt a slight ache on his shoulder. He had ran his hand up his shoulder to feel something that felt quite a lot like teeth marks. He leapt from his bed, switched on the bedside light and ran over to the mirror. There, in the light of his room, he saw teeth marks on his shoulder and scratch marks on both shoulders and his chest. He had turned slowly around to reveal more marks on his back. Then, he stared in surprise, to see C.C.'s panties lying at the bottom of his bed. And of course the half finished drink on his nightstand. He had sat on his bed and contemplated what to do. He knew he felt something very powerful with her, whether it was an all-consuming lust or something more, he wasn't sure. But one thing he was sure of was that she felt it too. That is when he setup this room like this and went to find her. The only thing he had been angry about was that after sharing something like this, he had found her in the bar, boozing away.


Niles was pulled out of his thoughts when C.C. stopped and turned to him. "Niles," C.C. said, lifting her hand and indicating the changes in the room. "this is amazing."

Niles stepped closer to her, his breath gentle on her face and replied. "All in an hour's work, my dear."

Their eyes locked and that was all it took. Suddenly they were in each other’s arms, mouth locked, hands hungrily roaming each other’s body. They're muffled moans filled the room as their kisses grew more and more passionate. Niles pulled back from the kiss and looked deeply into C.C.'s eyes.

"Undress for me, C.C." Niles said.

As she gazed into his eyes, she could tell this was something that he really wanted and she was only too happy to comply. It wasn't very often that any man made her feel so damned sexy. She gently pushed him back until his legs hit the bed and he was forced to sit down. She stepped back a few feet and just continued to gaze at him, allowing his suspense to grow. The very slowly she began undoing the buttons on her black blouse. One by one she undid them, however she held her blouse closed not even allowing him a teasing peek. Finally, when she reached the last one, she fully opened the blouse and peeled it off her body. She noted the fires leaping in her lover's eyes and soaked it up like a dry sponge.
She unhooked her bra in the front and allowed it to fall on to the floor by her blouse. Reaching behind her, she unzipped her skirt, carefully keeping her eyes on Niles face for his reaction. Upon returning to her cabin when she changed out of her nightgown and into this outfit, she skipped the whole underwear part. She dropped the skirt in a pool around her feet.


Niles sat at the end of the bed, fists clenched as he tried to keep himself from jumping off the bed and taking her on the floor of his room. He allowed his gaze to slowly travel up from frame, taking her in. Never in his life had he ever been so awestruck with beauty. nor had he ever been so horny, yet he practiced restraint. He wanted this night to be special for C.C. He wanted this to be a night she never forgot. He wanted to be the man she never forgot. Finally, no longer able to control himself, he lept from the bed, wrapping his arms around her, pulled her down to the carpet of his room.

Eventually they made it to the bed. Once they had their fill of each other, they drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.

C.C. rolled over in the bed, blindly reaching for Niles. Her hands, however gasped nothing but sheets. Where is that...that.... that.... sex machine, she thought with a giggle. She rolled over on her back and stared at the ceiling. Where was that man? She glanced at the clock. 3:30 am. Good. They still had a few hours left. She rolled over so she was faced down on the spot where Niles had slept, inhaling his scent.

"So are you just going to roll around in my bed by yourself or are you going to come join me?" A voice asked from the other side of the room. "I even got you a glass of champagne."

C.C. propped herself up on an elbow and smiled at the sight of Niles in the Jacuzzi. "Hi there, handsome." She said quietly.

Niles breath caught in his throat. She was so beautiful, so lovely. He loved her, he knew without a doubt. He looked away from her as tears gathered in his eyes. He knew this was just a one-night deal and he wanted so much more with her. He set the glass down and dunked under the water, washing away his tears. Upon surfacing, he saw C.C. making her way to the Jacuzzi. She slipped in next to him and took a long drink out of the glass.

"How long have you been awake?" she asked, setting her glass back down, looking at him. Her eyes glowing in the candlelight.

"Not very long."

"Why didn't you wake me?" Her hand reached out under the water for his.

He held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "I just wanted to watch you sleep. You are so beautiful. What I said earlier this evening is true. Not just about your beauty."

"Everything you said?" C.C. said cocking an eyebrow.

Niles dropped his head and looked into the water. "Yes." he whispered. He brought his head back up and let out a sigh. "C.C., if this just going to be for one night, we need to head this conversation in another direction."

The sadness in his voice cut C.C. like a knife. It also made her aware of her own sadness. She reached out and gently stroked his cheek. "Some things, Niles were never meant to be," she said slightly above a whisper.

Niles nodded and drew her to him. He placed a gentle kiss on her lips, then laid his head on her shoulder and just held her. He wanted this moment to last forever. Her scent, the feel of her skin against his, the gentle rise and fall of her chest, the thudding of her heart.

C.C. stroked Niles hair with her hand, while an emotional battle raged inside her. Life was so unfair! she thought to herself. She could see herself having a wonderful life with Niles. But, as she told him, it was not meant to be. Right? She shook her head. Of course it wasn't. What was she thinking??

They remained there for some time just holding each other. Then in one motion, Niles stood up, lifting C.C. in his arms. He carried her out of the Jacuzzi and laid her down on the lush carpet. There on the carpet they not only united their bodies, but their souls as well. This time it wasn't just sex. It was love making of the highest order. Their spirits entwined, leaving each of them wondering how they would live life without the other. C.C. pulled Niles close to her, wishing she could just pull herself into him. If she could, then she could live life with him and never have to worry about what others thought. But she knew, as she told him earlier, that it just wasn't meant to be. Reluctantly, she looked at the clock. 5:00 am, time for her to go. She must steel herself. She knew she had to make this break quick or it would be more painful for both of them. For Niles, she would not drag this out. She gently kissed him then rose to her feet. She began getting dressed.

"Do you have to leave already?" He asked.

She didn't answer him, just continued to get dressed.

"C.C. please speak to me...." Niles said.

She finished getting dressed. She walked over to him, without a word. She grabbed the back of his head and kissed him, allowing her body to say the things that her mouth could not. Then with a quite sob she turned and fled the room.

Niles sat down at the foot of his bed with a sigh, his head in his hands.

Later that day.................

C.C. stepped out onto the deck. Her slim figure taking long strides, looking very much like a woman on a mission. And she was. Her eyes scanned the deck for Niles. She wanted to get this over with now, while she had to guts, while it only hurt a little bit. She had to do this for his own good, and for hers as well.

Then she spotted him. Quickly she walked in his direction. When his eyes met hers, she felt love well up in her soul, but she pushed the emotion down. This was not the time.

"What the hell are you looking at?" C.C. demanded as she reached his side.

The pain she saw in his eyes cut her to the quick, but she knew what she had to do. Her voice cold, she said to him "Aren't you a little old to be up her scoping out the teenie's in bikini's? Makes you a perverted old man, doesn't it?"

He looked at her in shock, and then quickly recovered. Looking her up and down he replied, "I suppose, but only when there is something worth watching."

Good, she thought. She turned away and walked back to her room. Shutting and locking the door, she leaned back on it and allowed her sobs to come.
