The sun was blazing off the Mediterranean Sea, causing the yacht’s marble deck to warm beneath his skin like a giant soft iron. Tingles ran through Tyler’s body as he recalled the day that had just passed, a day full of adventure and exploration.
Tyler had joined the crew of a private yacht a few weeks ago, after his seventh year of college, wishing to experience the summer in a new and different way. As he stared out onto the sea, his mind wandered back to all they had seen and done in those previous days.
They had left from a small marina in Italy; he and the rest of the crew were excited to embark on a long stretch of exploration. The first stop was the romantic city of Barcelona, where Tyler had never been before. They had spent a few days sailing, swimming and taking in the sights. He had even tried paella and some other local dishes, which he had loved.
After that, they left for the beautiful island of Mykonos. Here, they all let loose and enjoyed the sun, sand and dancing. Tyler had snorkeled with the crew and scuba-dived, even though he had never done so before. They all stayed at a hotel with a beach, where Tyler and the rest of the crew had splashed and laughed with their nightly rituals of joy.
The sun had just awoken the yacht and its crew, and brought upon them a determined hopefulness for new shores and unexplored adventures. As the boat sailed forth into the sun, Tyler’s mind was lost in the awe of the bright blue horizon. However, he could not help but think back to the previous night.
As the sun had begun to set, Tyler and the crew had exchanged stories of their respective lives and loves. He had grown close with the crew, more so than he had ever done with his own family. And during their momentous evening of sharing, they had come to something of an agreement.
Everyone had promised to let him be who he was, something that he had never truly been allowed to do before. To make matters even more special, the crew had declared that they accepted him as a gay man and would never judge him for loving another man.
He had been utterly relieved, his heart racing with an emotion he had never quite felt before. For too long in his life, he had been forced to hide who he was, and now he could finally be himself for once.
And so it was this sense of newfound freedom and belonging that brought Tyler to the new island of their adventures – Monaco.
They had arrived in the early evening, and the capital of Monaco was dazzling with its opulent lights and grand architecture. They ventured ashore and wandered the streets, feasting their eyes upon the wonders of this highly prestigious city.
Eventually, they both settled at a bar, sipping Bellinis and chatting about the day. Tyler gazed out the large window at the lights of the night sky. It seemed almost too perfect to be true.
The night slowly faded away and the sun slowly warmed up the air, and it was then that Tyler had been asked an incredible question.
The captain of the yacht, an older gentleman who had already befriended Tyler, had asked him to join him in his suite on the yacht. After some gentle hesitation, Tyler accepted the offer, feeling a strange fluttering in his stomach as his heart raced with anticipation.
The room had been luxuriously decorated, and Tyler felt his breath almost catch in his throat as he gazed upon the beauty of the place. He hadn’t expected it to be as lavish as this.
The captain led him ever so gently across the room and laid him down on a large bed, fastening his shirt and removing his trousers, the feel of his gentle hands and the warmth of his body sending shivers across Tyler’s skin.
The captain, an experienced and wealthy man, performed the art of lovemaking with a beautiful and enthralling grace. Each touch, caress and movement was so pleasurable and sensual that Tyler felt his body grow almost dizzy with pleasure.
As the night passed, the two men explored and played in the realm of joy and tenderness, creating a night of perfect bliss.
The next morning they awoke in each other’s arms, content and in love. It had been the best night of Tyler’s life and the most memorable summer adventure of all. They had spent many days on the yacht, enjoying the sun and the beautiful sea, but nothing could compare to this one moment, this mythical night they had shared together.
The pleasure of their intimate moments now weaving itself into Tyler’s memory forever. They hugged each other tightly, exchanging passionate kisses and soft words of goodbye, as the yacht began to sail away and Tyler’s heart continued to race with the thought of this extraordinary summer of yacht adventures.
