“Your front,” he replied. “I’ll let you finish yourself off.”

“Oh right. Yes, of course.”

He stared out to sea. Conversations were over as quickly as they began with Wolfgang.

Sending negative vibes to his own penis, Sam liberally applied the lotion over his chest. To his joy, he caught Wolfgang staring. Of course, he looked away instantly. Before Sam had the chance to formulate a witty quip, the motor stopped and silence reigned supreme. The water lapping against the side of the boat became the only noise.

Miguel jumped into the rear of the boat. He seemed more excited than they did at their first foray into the waters.

“Okay, you two. We are here. See the buoy?”

They both nodded.

The crystal blue sea screamed at them to dive in. Fish flitted up to the surface, nosily peeping at them. Sam went to get upbut no, the tight wetsuit would absolutely show off his stubborn erection. He needed that cool water desperately.

“Today, we’ll be snorkelling only. I want you to get a feel for our waters before you go under. I’ll throw the gear when you get in.”

Wolfgang didn’t need telling twice. He stood and pulled his wetsuit over the top half of his body. It clung like a second skin and bulged in all the right places. It wasn’t helping Sam’s situation one bit.

Sam struggled to get his over his shoulders as he sat. Miguel and Wolfgang frowned at him.

“Okay,” Miguel said. “Off you go. Give it about an hour. I’ll shout you when time’s up.”

Wolfgang dived off the end of the boat.

“You all right there, Sam?”

“Of course I am,” he said, probably a bit too gruffly.

Miguel seemed baffled as Sam awkwardly twisted himself to the edge of the boat and let his body go. The fresh water hit him like a blessed relief. His dick shrank to a much more manageable level.

Not wanting either Wolfgang or Miguel to think he was scared of the water, he got his bearings and swam under the boat, emerging on the other side.

“Did somebody mention a snorkel?” he shouted.

Miguel threw them in. Wolfgang joined Sam and grabbed his.

“Ready?” he asked, once he’d fitted it securely. He even made a bloody snorkel sexy.

“I was born ready,” Sam replied. “This is going to be amazing.”

By the time Sam and Wolfgang made it to their rooms, they were barely speaking.

“I know you want to find it, but that didn’t have the right spots,” Sam said, glaring at him.

“You have read about two of those books Ruben gave us and now you’re an expert?”

“Even Miguel said the spots were too big. You don’t know everything, Wolfgang.”

Wolfgang stomped up the stairs while Sam joined Astrid and Maria in the kitchen.

“Things not so good in Squid Towers?” asked Astrid.

“He’s such hard work. Just when I think we’re making progress, he’s his usual icy self again. I’ve never met anyone so difficult.”

Maria handed Sam a much-needed beer from the fridge. “Perhaps he takes time. It’s only been a week or so, and we’re all new to this, remember.”
