	I was so mad when I found out, and madder at Samanthas initial reaction.

	Samantha, this creep is using her! I yelled.

	So? she replied calmly, How is that different from what youre doing with Carl?

	That really burned me.  She was helping me learn, teaching me so much, so I could go back 
and melt Andy in my arms.  But this?

	Its got nothing to do with it!  For one, I asked Carl if he wanted to be my toy.  And, 
Im not going around selling him to anyone that walks up.  We take very good care of Carl.  Hes 
sweet.  Im even....  But thats not the point!  Im asking you for help with this creep!  Hes 
hypnotized Carla, and hes using her!  I found her crying in our room, and her panties had blood 
on them!  Do I have to go to the Captain with this?

	Samantha sat up at that.  Hes abusing her?

	I sat down and tried to calm myself.  I was so furious.  I know hes selling her, and using 
her himself.  Ive heard that from other people.  And I know someone hurt her.  She was crying.

	So she told you? Samantha asked me.

	I shook my head.  I dont know what to call it.  It was like she was still in a trance.  
Once I figured that out, I could talk to her some, and get her to respond.  But hes told her not to 
say anything to anybody.  I got her to tell me her bottom hurt, and I saw the blood stains, and 
then she started crying No, no, no, again.  It was all I could do to get her to relax again and 
forget Id been there.

	Samanthas jaw was firm now, and she had a cold look on her face.  Okay.  Im sorry.  
Rhonda, really -- Im sorry the way I responded.  Well take care of it, I promise you.

	How?

	Samantha looked at me.  I need to talk to a couple of people.  We will take care of it.  We 
will do whatever we can.  I promise you we will fix this bastard, and good.  It looks as if we have 
a couple of them on board.  Its to be expected I guess.

	But not with my roommate and my friend! I said, now on the verge of tears.

	She came over and sat with me, comforting me.  I recognized when she started rocking me, 
speaking softly to me.  No! I said loudly.  Then softer, Not now, please.

	She held me quietly for a while, rocking me.  I understand, she said softly.  Its like 
any other tool.  You love Andy and wouldnt hurt him.  You are so sweet with Carl.  Well fix 
this bastard, I promise you.  I need to go, now.  Give me your room key.

	I gave her my key and she left.  I held a pillow and cried.  Was what I was doing fair to 
Carl?  Would it be fair to Andy?  But oh God, it feels so good, and the look on Carls face...

	At dinner that night, Carl could tell something was wrong.  Hed had a great time on his 
scuba trip in the afternoon, but could tell something was bugging me.

	Rhonda, he said, come back to my cabin.  Let me take the frown off your face.  I dont 
like it.

	I almost cried.  I didnt look for the creep, or for Carla, at all.  But as dinner was almost 
finished, Samantha walked over to us and knelt down by my side.

	Stay on board tomorrow.  Well know later tonight, but I think well fix our problem 
tomorrow afternoon.

	Can I be there? I asked.

	She squeezed my shoulders.  You bet, honey.  Take good care of Carl tonight -- hes 
worried about you.

	She stood up and walked away, but as she did, she brushed Carls neck with a hand, 
almost sending him toppling over.

	I helped him sit back up.  He gave me a sheepish grin, and whispered in my ear, I love 
when you do that to me.  Please dont stop.

	I looked at him and smiled.  He looked like such a cute puppy -- so sweet, trusting, and 
innocent.

	Walking with him on deck afterwards, it still bothered me.  It bothered me a lot.  I 
stopped and looked at him.

	Rhonda, I dont know what happened this afternoon.  Im sorry I wasnt here.  Let me 
make it better.  Let me help.

	I shook my head.  Such feelings roiling inside me!

	Carl -- do you understand what Im doing to you, with you?  Im using you, and when 
this cruise is over, Im going to walk away from you!  Could I, really?

	But he smiled.  I know.  Use me, please!  Hold me, squeeze me, take me to that 
wonderful place, and use me however you want.  I love the way you use me!  Im your toy, 
remember?  Play with me.  Thats what toys are for.

	He got down on his knees in front of me, holding my hands and looking up to me.  What 
an adorable puppy he is.

	I heard a womans voice say, Well, thats a good sign, and heard someone else laugh.  I 
didnt stop looking at Carl.  He took my hands and put them on the sides of his head.  He looked 
to me with such adoration.  Rhonda, take me please.  Take me and play with me.

	I looked down to him.  How lucky I am.  I exhaled and squeezed his head gently.  He 
moaned softly and I watched his eyes drift closed.  Carl, I whispered, Tonight I need a strong 
man to hold me, protect me, and make gentle and passionate love with me.

	I pulled him to his feet and we kissed.  I felt his arms go around me and hold me, gently 
but strongly.  I hope we wouldnt be missing a good show tonight.  I dont think were going to 
make it.

	We didnt make the main show.  We went back to his cabin and he went down on me so 
well.  He had me in another world, so delirious.  And when I didnt think I could come again, he 
was inside me, filling me, on top of me and holding me so well, and his coming deep inside me, 
filling me, pushed me over the edge again.

	Come on, sleepy head, he said as he tried to get me up.

	Is it morning? I asked him.  It looked damned dark out still.

	He laughed.  No.  We can still make Rob and Tonis show.  Come on.  Ill buy you 
dessert afterwards.

	I held on to him for a bit, but could tell he really wanted to go.  I thought about dropping 
him into trance and taking him to sleep in my arms, but this was something he wanted.  I got up 
and managed to get more or less presentable.

	We managed to walk into the small lounge where Rob and Toni held court after the main 
show just before people started filing in.  We got a good table, and settled in.

	The area filled up quickly.  After the first few nights, this was becoming quite an event.  I 
heard that theyd been offered a larger area to work with, but so far theyd turned that down, 
preferring to work in the smaller, more intimate space.

	Rob and Toni came in.  They looked so happy together.  Thats what I wanted for Andy 
and I.

	They let people settle, waited for drinks to be ordered and served.  As usual, they had 
many offers from people to buy drinks for them.

	Toni stood up behind her husband and started speaking.  Shes got such an amazing voice.  
Some times when she speaks, you just want to curl up in her voice, its so warm and cozy.

	Tonight though, she started out, This is going to be an unabashed plug for our seminar 
tomorrow morning on combining hypnosis with massage.  It will be in the aerobics room, right 
after Rogers very popular yoga class.  I saw Roger raise his glass to a murmur from the crowd.

	Toni put her hands on Robs shoulders and applied some pressure.  Rob sort of groaned 
and let his head go forward.

	Those of you here with a partner, one of you stand up so you can practice with me, 
Toni went on.  I was surprised when Carl got up quickly and stood behind me.

	A lot of us carry a great deal of tension in our shoulders and necks.  Mister Wonderful 
certainly does.  Right there honey?  She pushed on a spot on Robs back and he moaned a little, 
then started bouncing one leg up and down a little, mimicking a dog reacting to being scratched in 
just the right spot.  We laughed.

	Feel your partners shoulders gently now, and look with your fingers and hands for 
those tight spots.  I felt Carls warm hands on me, going along my upper back and shoulders.  
Oh, he found a good spot -- so tight.

	Our society seems to put emphasis on mens chest and shoulders.  If you notice, a lot of 
men seem to carry themselves and their egos in their chests and shoulders.  My Chinese 
Medicine friends think this is very silly, harmful even -- stagnating all that energy.  No wonder 
men get so tight.  They should let that energy flow down, evenly.  Oh, is that good, dear?

	And as for the ladies, we develop tension as well, some of us from carrying our, ah, 
blessings, without the proper support.  That got a laugh, although I was relaxing very nicely 
under Carls soft stroking.

	A good massage therapist can release this tension working from the outside, although it 
may take deep pressure with an elbow.  Lets see how we can release this tension working from 
the inside, and using far less pressure.

	She started weaving her spell.  Its funny; Im getting so used to being hypnotized.  
Sometimes when Samantha hypnotizes me, I dont remember much at all, or only feelings and 
sensations.  Other times, especially when Im supposed to be learning something, I remember 
everything with crystal clarity.  This time I was sort of in between.

	I remembered what to do generally, and I remember some of her language.  I especially 
liked her talking about working with men and getting them to shift all the tension and stiffness to 
a part of their (stolen from silli artie at hotmail dot com) body where it would be useful!

	All my tension melted away in Carls hands, and I woke to his gentle embrace and a soft 
warm kiss.  There was gentle laughter in the lounge, and applause once again for Toni and Rob.

	We visited the dessert bar, and afterward, in Carls cabin, I was still hungry -- but for him.  
He sighed as he undressed, and told me he wasnt sure how well he could do so soon....  I told 
him to leave that to me.

	I got him on the bed on his stomach, and started massaging his back.  I combined what 
Samantha and Toni had taught me, taking him into trance, finding tension and stiffness, and 
moving it to where it could and did give us both a great deal of pleasure.

	The next morning when I awoke, though, the other memories were back.  Had Carla spent 
another night with that creep?  Or worse?

	Carl and I had a light breakfast together.  Carl was off to see Nassau.  I met Samantha in 
the Yoga class.  She came in a bit late, and gave me a smile.

	After class, we got a chance to talk.  I started asking questions, and she interrupted me.

	Rhonda, everything is going according to plan.  You are going to stay for the seminar 
with Rob and Toni.  I want you to work with Mike.  She told me Mikes key phrases, and told 
me she wanted me to let him practice on me as well.  Shed collect me after lunch, and that I 
wasnt to worry.

	I didnt know if I was going to cry or scream, but we sat in a corner of the room and she 
held me for a bit, then started rocking me and speaking softly, and this time I let go to her.

	The class was dreamy.  Or, I was in a dream through the class.  But it was very good.  
Mike will make someone a fine catch.  I still think his girlfriend Jane is a bubblehead.  Rob and 
Toni gave me very nice hugs at the end of class.  Toni whispered in my ear that everything would 
work out.

	At lunch, a waiter handed me a piece of paper.  I unfolded it to find Id won an invitation 
to a private hypnosis show at two that afternoon.  I smiled and showed it to some of the people 
at my table.  I didnt recognize the cabin number, but one of them did, and was quite envious -- it 
was Mistress Ursulas, the hypno-Domme in the show the first night.  I very quickly started 
getting offers of a lot of cash (and other things) in exchange, but I folded the paper and slipped it 
into my bra.  I wouldnt miss this for the world, I told people.

	I showed up at the appointed time.  I recognized the guy who opened the door -- Allen, 
Ursulas toy from that first show.  He looked at my invitation and let me in.  I saw the creep 
there, already sitting down, but didnt pay attention to him for some reason.  Allens wife was 
there as well.  I didnt recognize the other couple, but both of them were tall, and looked to be in 
very good shape -- hired muscle just in case?  Where was Samantha?

	There were only the six of us, in two rows of three chairs.  The creep was in the front 
row, farthest from the door, with Allen and his wife next to him.  Behind the creep were the 
muscle couple, and I was on the end closest to the door.

	Ursula did some very erotic demonstrations with Allen and his wife.  I went into my 
recording mode for that.  Then she told us the next part involved all of us being hypnotized.  I 
felt better.  Ursula has another one of those strong, soft, comfy voices, and I let go to her.

	We started off going to soft, peaceful places, so relaxing.  After a while, things shifted, 
and I was watching some movies.  I didnt like them -- they werent nice.  People were being hurt 
and abused.  I didnt like the way the movies ended, either.  I went back to that soft, tranquil 
place for a while.

	I woke up on Samanthas bed.  She was sitting beside me.

	What happened?  Is it over with?  Where is the bastard? I demanded.

	She smiled.  She told me what had been happening.  Carla was supposed to go on the day 
tour of Nassau, but had been intercepted by the ships doctor early in the morning.  Ursula had 
worked with her for a while, and then Toni and Rob took over after their seminar.  Samantha told 
me Carla had been helped by the best.

	I still wanted to know about that bastard.  Still with a smile, she told me Carla had been 
checked and treated by the doctor as well.

	Whats been done to that creep? I demanded, again.

	Samantha told me he was being taken care of.  That wasnt good enough for me.  I wanted 
to rape the bastard with an old broom handle, then throw him overboard and let him walk back to 
Miami -- with the broom handle still in place.

	Samantha tried to explain to me that wasnt the way, to repay in kind, and it wasnt my 
role in this dance.  She told me I needed to learn to reply in kindness, not in kind.  We argued 
about that for a while, until there was a knock on the door.

	It was Ursula, and she looked as if shed been through hell.  She looked hot and sweaty, a 
little red.  When she started talking, a sewer was more like where shed been.  Shed spent the last 
two hours working on the bastard, with help from Rob.  Carla was still with Toni and the ships 
doctor.

	The private show had indeed been a ruse to get him, and get him off guard.  It had 
worked very well.  He would never do this to anyone again.  All the money hed made, and any 
money he had, was going to Carla.  Ursula and other professionals on board would be contacting 
the clients hed developed.  He had two other victims hed been abusing; those people would be 
helped.  To some others theyd be offering help, and others theyd just be telling the game was 
over.  Carla and the other victims would not be bothered again.

	Ursula could probably tell from my looks that I still wanted blood.  She told me he would 
get what he deserved.  Hed taken money from some people for future sessions -- sessions which 
would never happen.  Those people were going to be upset.  He was going to learn just how 
small this cruise ship could be.  Then she gave me a smile that sent chills down my spine, and 
told me that some other things had already happened to him as well.

	I mumbled something about hoping it hurt.  She told me it would, and then sighed.  She 
told both of us that in spite of all that hed done, hed actually helped a couple of people, and 
had helped one individual get over a significant problem.

	Then she turned to me and asked, I understand youve learned quite a bit on this cruise.  
What path are you going to take?

	I leaned back against the wall with a sigh.  It was all so confusing.  The look on Allens 
face in that first show -- the look on Carls face when I held him -- remembering the look of peace 
on Andys face when I held him -- that incredible sensation of peace and tranquility, floating in 
trance.  Then the pain on Carlas face, seeing the blood stains on her panties, knowing only a 
little part of what had been done to her, and being so upset.  I looked at Samantha, and Ursula.  
Theyd both been through this.  Theyd taken this problem on.  They could have ignored it.  But 
they didnt.

	Thank you, I said, with emotion in my voice.  Thank you for helping Carla, and 
helping me.  I dont know how to thank you enough.

	Ursula smiled.  A tool is just that -- a tool.  How are you going to use your new tools?

	I shook my head.  I dont know if I ever will....

	Samantha spoke up.  You will, and you will use them well.  You dont know how you 
feel about Andy, but youve told me.  Hes going to be a very happy man.

	I smiled to them a little.  So how is Carla doing?

	Ursula managed a little smile.  I stopped in on her on the way over here.  We went 
through the worst part this morning.  Shes going to be emotionally bruised for a while, but I 
believe shell get over it.  Youll need to help.  Well continue to work with her, and others.

	I shook my head.

	Ursula said, No, she doesnt blame you at all.  She blames herself, which is just as bad 
and just as wrong.  If anyone is to blame, its me, for leaving people vulnerable to such things.

	Samantha and I both shook our heads.  Ursula smiled.  Actually, this has gotten me back 
to things I should never have left.  Im going to continue to use, and improve my tools.  Ive 
learned a lot on this cruise.  Of course, Ive learned some things Id rather not have picked up...

	I held out my hands to them.  Thank you again, for everything.  What should I do now?

	What would you like to do? Samantha asked.

	I sighed.  Hold Carla and cry.

	Ursula stood up, and the two of us followed.  That sounds like the right thing to me.

	We went to Carla.  We held each other and cried.  I told her I was sorry, and she thanked 
me for saving her.  I held her and rocked her and comforted her, and she held on.

	We made it to dinner.  Carl joined us, and whispered to me that Samantha had spoken to 
him.  He didnt know all that happened, but he would help however he could.

	As dinner was drawing to a close, the ships doctor came over to our table.  She leaned 
over, put a hand on Carlas shoulder and spoke with her quietly for a moment.  Then she stood 
up and addressed us all.

	I wanted to remind all of you to be very careful about the sun, she told us, with almost 
a smirk on her face.  You can get seriously sunburned very quickly.  Weve had a very 
unfortunate incident in which one man aboard on the cruise fell asleep while naked in the sun, and 
received very painful sunburns over his entire body.  Hell most likely be spending the remainder 
of the cruise in his cabin, and not enjoying it.  Please be very careful.

	We nodded our heads.  I squeezed Carlas hand and smiled.  It was a start.
