The Boss’s Yacht and the Cove Where Everything Got Out of Control

The invitation arrived on a Tuesday afternoon, in the internal-email tone Magnus uses when he asks a favor without making it sound like a request. Three-day retreat at sea, entire executive team, departure from the port of Valencia, return via Marbella. “Third-quarter strategy.” I had worked for him for four years and knew how to read between the lines: when Magnus said strategy, he meant other things too.

I’m the company’s events director. Thirty years old this winter, a runner’s body because I run every morning before dawn, and a terrible habit of mixing the professional with everything else. I’d been in that office too long to pretend I hadn’t noticed him from the very first day.

The yacht was called Skadi, after the Viking goddess of the hunt. Forty-five meters of white hull, three decks, smoked glass. Magnus boarded before anyone else, dressed only in dark swim trunks and sunglasses that let him see everything except his eyes. His hair was in long blond braids with silver strands, the sides shaved. A tattooed wolf snarled across his chest.

“Lucía,” he said when I passed him with my bag. “I’m glad you came.”

As if I could have said no.

There were nine of us aboard. Carolina, the co-CEO, was already at the bow in a black bikini with a glass in her hand. She was thirty-four, with black hair that was always wet whenever she could manage it, and a way of looking at Magnus that left no doubt about what existed between them. Daniela, from marketing, with those curves of hers that always seemed to spill out of any garment. The men on the team: Bruno, operations, dark-haired and quiet; Rodrigo, innovation, younger, with that smile that made you uncomfortable because you never knew whether he was flirting or laughing at you.

The crew was minimal. Gonzalo, the captain, in his forties, with a graying beard and strong arms from spending his life at the helm. Valeria, the stewardess, very young, in a uniform that stopped being a uniform the moment she bent over to serve. And Nicolás, the steward, so handsome he didn’t look like a steward.

We set sail at noon. The Mediterranean was smooth as a table and the sun beat down on the deck. The first hour was purely professional: Magnus presented the semester’s figures, Carolina talked about expansion in the south, Bruno mentioned some logistical problems. It was the last working hour of the trip.

After lunch we all went down to the aft deck. Valeria served chilled white wine in glasses nobody had asked for. Daniela, in a white bikini that barely covered her, stretched out on a sun lounger opposite Magnus with a gesture I had seen a thousand times in meetings, and which was less dangerous in meetings.

“I’ve read that these yachts have very private rooms,” she said, running her tongue over her lip.

Magnus laughed. That low laugh of his that didn’t quite sound like laughter.

“They do. But we won’t need them today.”

***

We anchored in the middle of the afternoon in a cove I had never seen before. Magnus called it Devil’s Cove, a hidden nook between reddish cliffs south of Formentera, accessible only by sea and without a single house in sight. The water was so clear we could see the shadow of the hull on the sand, ten meters below. Gonzalo cut the engines, and for a few seconds the silence was absolute.

Absolute, but strange. Like the silence before a storm you know is coming.

Carolina took off her bikini top without saying a word. She let it fall onto the sun lounger as if she were removing an earring. Her nipples were already hard from the breeze, two dark points above small, firm breasts that moved as she walked toward Magnus. She straddled him on the edge of the hot tub, ran her tongue along his tattooed neck, and bit his earlobe. Magnus grabbed her ass with both hands, spread it with his thumbs, and yanked her bikini bottom off. Carolina laughed against his mouth when she felt his cock—already awake, hard against his dark trunks—pressed between her thighs.

“Get it out,” Carolina told him, in a low voice perfectly audible in the silence of the cove.

Magnus pulled his trunks down to his knees without letting go of her. I saw his cock then for the first time: thick, long, with a prominent vein underneath and a glistening head. Carolina rose slightly, positioned it against her pussy with her hand, and lowered herself slowly, moaning softly as it went in. She stayed still for a moment with him buried deep inside her, pressed her forehead to his, and began to move.

Daniela took care of it before any of us knew what to do with our hands. She stood, crossed the deck barefoot, untied her white bikini with one yank, and threw it to the floor. She knelt beside the hot tub. She placed her hand on Magnus’s tattooed thigh, slid it up the inside until she found his balls, and grabbed them as if greeting an old acquaintance. Then she looked over her shoulder at me with one eyebrow raised.

“Are you coming, Lucía, or are you staying to watch?”

I went.

I took off my red bikini as I walked and left it lying on the deck. It was the first time in my life I had undressed in front of my coworkers, and I should have felt something like embarrassment. I felt the opposite. I felt my skin boiling, my nipples hardening all at once in the salty air, and I felt my pussy opening on its own, slippery, before anyone had even touched me.

Carolina rose from Magnus and made room for me. His cock slid out of her with a wet sound and stood pointing upward, soaked and gleaming beneath the sun. Carolina kissed me on the mouth without preamble, tasting of wine and salt, thrust her tongue deep inside me, and then firmly pushed me downward, guiding me toward Magnus’s lap.

“He’s all yours for a while,” she whispered in my ear. “Then you give him back to me.”

I knelt between Magnus’s legs on the wet floor at the edge of the hot tub. His cock was level with my face, swollen and still shining with Carolina’s juices. I ran my tongue along the underside, from his balls to the tip, slowly, savoring both of them. Magnus let out a low growl and put his hand on the back of my head. He didn’t push me yet. He only held me there, as a warning.

I put him in my mouth as far as I could. He was thick and filled my cheeks, and when I reached halfway I felt my gag reflex, but I kept going down until my chin touched his balls. My eyes filled with tears. Carolina laughed behind me, delighted.

“She swallows well,” she told Magnus. “You could tell in the meetings.”

Daniela hadn’t waited. She had positioned herself beside me, mouth open, licking the base of his cock while I pumped the tip with my mouth. Our tongues met halfway, amid moans, and every so often Daniela released me, gripped his shaft, and shoved it all the way into my mouth, helping me sink it down. Magnus had his other hand on Carolina’s breast, squeezing her nipple between two fingers until she hissed, and he said nothing because nothing needed saying.

I felt the tremor in his thighs before he came. He was going to cum. I lifted my face to warn them, and Carolina pushed my head back down.

“Swallow it,” she said.

He came in my mouth in three thick spurts, with a hoarse groan that rose from his tattooed chest. I swallowed the first. The second escaped from the corner of my mouth. The third landed on my tongue, and Daniela kissed me right there, her mouth over mine, sucking the semen from my lips as if it belonged to her.

When I looked up, the deck had stopped being a deck.

Bruno had Daniela against the port railing. He had taken her there at some point I hadn’t seen, moved nothing aside because she was already naked, and was now penetrating her from behind with calculated slowness. One hand was on the back of her neck, pushing her against the hot steel, the other on her hip. He drove into her all the way and stayed inside for a second before pulling almost completely out. Daniela gripped the railing and moaned with her mouth open, staring at the turquoise water as if she wanted to jump into the sea and at the same time couldn’t. Every time Bruno went all the way in, Daniela’s large breasts bounced against the railing and she let out a sharp gasp.

“Harder,” I heard her ask. “Harder, fuck.”

Bruno listened. He grabbed her hair, wound it around his fist, and began to fuck her with dry thrusts that sounded against Daniela’s ass like applause. Her buttocks reddened with every impact. The entire deck smelled of sex and sea.

Rodrigo, the young man from innovation, had ended up in the hot tub with Valeria. At some point I hadn’t seen, she had gotten out of her uniform and was sitting on him, facing away, eyes closed and wearing a small smile intended for no one but herself. She moved slowly, rising and lowering herself over the young man’s cock, the hot water up to her waist. Rodrigo had both hands on her tits, squeezing them and pinching her nipples, and every so often he bit her shoulder. Nicolás watched them from the gangway, still holding a towel, the bulge obvious in his white trousers. Until Valeria stretched out one arm, beckoned him with her fingers, and Nicolás dropped the towel, took off his trousers, and climbed into the hot tub.

He stood in front of her. Valeria opened her mouth without stopping her ride on Rodrigo. Nicolás thrust his cock down her throat. The stewardess had both of them at once, one inside her pussy and the other in her mouth, and it didn’t seem to be enough because she grabbed Nicolás’s balls and kneaded them while Rodrigo, beneath her, penetrated her with short, rapid thrusts.

Gonzalo didn’t come down from the bridge at first. I saw him appear a couple of times, check the anchor, and make sure no boat was approaching. Professional to the end. Then he came down, took off his white shorts, and entered the deck without asking permission. He had the body of a man who worked for a living, a flat stomach, and a cock that hung heavy between his thighs even half-erect. No one asked him either. It was his yacht more than anyone else’s.

At some point Magnus lifted me off the floor of the hot tub. His hands were rough, the hands of someone who did things with his hands outside work. He leaned me against the mahogany table in the outdoor dining area, my back pressed to the hot wood, spread my legs with his knee, and kissed my neck while Carolina, behind him, dragged her nails down his tattooed back and bit his shoulder blade.

“Have you wanted this for long?” he asked, very close to my ear.

I nodded. My voice wouldn’t come.

“I know,” he said. “It showed.”

He shoved two fingers into my pussy. I was so wet they slid in without resistance up to the knuckles. He pulled them out, showed them to Carolina gleaming with my juices, and Carolina sucked them one by one with her tongue.

“Fuck her already,” Carolina told him. “She’s dying.”

Magnus grabbed my hips, dragged me to the edge of the table, and drove into me in one thrust, burying himself deep. I screamed. I couldn’t help it. My back arched over the mahogany, and I felt him opening me from within with the cock I had already known with my mouth and now knew in another place. He began to fuck me with long thrusts, pulling almost all the way out and driving back in to the base. The table shook. The wineglasses chimed in rhythm. Carolina climbed onto the table beside me, sat on my face, and pressed her pussy against my mouth.

“Suck me while he fucks you,” she ordered.

I sucked her. I ran my tongue over her lips, found her clitoris, and ate it hungrily while Magnus drove into me and made the wood creak. Carolina held my tits to keep her balance and pinched my nipples whenever I did something she liked. She came in my mouth after a few minutes, with a long moan, soaking my face. Magnus kept fucking me while Carolina climbed down, dazed, and collapsed onto a sun lounger.

When Magnus was about to finish again, he pulled out, put me facedown on the table, and entered me from behind. He filled my ass with his thumbs to open me and went back into my pussy from that angle, pressing deep inside. I came then, screaming against the wood, my thighs trembling and saliva dribbling from my mouth onto the polished mahogany. He came immediately afterward, inside me, without pulling out, his hands dug into my hips.

***

The afternoon stretched on as afternoons at sea do, without a clock to measure it. We changed partners, threesomes, and corners. Carolina ended up on the outdoor sofa with Rodrigo and me; Rodrigo penetrated her on his knees while she lay on her back, sucking my tits with her mouth full of short moans. I spread her legs wider for Rodrigo, gripped his cock, and guided it deeper inside her, and Carolina growled when she felt it strike the back. I licked her neck, bit her nipple, and put two fingers in her mouth for her to suck while the young man kept thrusting into her.

Daniela, after Bruno, ended up at the stern with Gonzalo, who held her hips with a patience the younger men didn’t have. He had her on all fours on the hot deck, his graying beard brushing her back every time he leaned down to bite her shoulder. He fucked her with slow, deep thrusts, without hurrying, the way large ships are piloted: knowing that course matters more than speed. Daniela came three times before Gonzalo slowed, and when the captain finished, he did so over her ass, leaving two thick streams of semen running down the cleft.

At some point Bruno and Nicolás shared Valeria between them. The stewardess knelt in the center of the deck, and the two men stood on either side, their hard cocks level with her mouth. She passed from one to the other with her tongue, sucking the tip of one while masturbating the other with her hand, then put both of them between her lips at once, pressing them together. Focused, as if she were doing serious work. When they tired of her mouth, Bruno sat on the floor and put her on top of him, impaled, while Nicolás positioned himself behind her and opened her ass. They entered her at the same time. Valeria let out a muffled scream when the double penetration split her open inside, grabbed Bruno around the neck, and began moving her hips herself, searching for more. The two men coordinated without speaking, entering and withdrawing by turns, fucking the stewardess between them until she came in a shudder that shook her entire body.

I came for the second time in Daniela’s mouth. She had me lying on a sun lounger, my legs spread over her shoulders, and was licking my pussy with a technique that was anything but improvised. She sucked my clitoris with her lips, released it, slid her tongue all the way inside me, came back up, and when she sensed I was close, drove two fingers into me and searched for my inner spot with her fingertip. Magnus was behind me holding my hair, pulling it, and with his other hand he gently squeezed my throat. I came screaming into Daniela’s mouth, soaking her face, and she rose and wiped me onto Magnus’s cock, rubbing my juices all over his shaft.

The third time was on the sand at the water’s edge, because at some point Magnus decided we had to go down to the beach. The eight of us swam to the cove, leaving the yacht anchored like a sleeping animal. The sand was warm, and we rolled around in it without shame, covered in salt, water, and sweat, with the sound of the waves and nothing else.

Magnus took me at the edge of the water, half my body in and half out, my back against the sand. He spread my legs with his knees, settled between my thighs, and pushed his cock into me slowly this time, as if he wanted me to feel every inch. The waves lapped at our feet. Every time one broke, he pushed too, synchronizing his rhythm with the sea. His braids clung to his shoulders, full of salt water, and his gray eyes were fixed on mine as if, in that moment, I were the only person in the company, on the yacht, and in the sea. He sucked my nipples one at a time, salt on his tongue. He bit my neck. He whispered things in my ear that I wouldn’t repeat to anyone. He came inside me for the second time that day, foam covering our feet, and I came with him, my nails dug into his tattooed back. It was the best lie he had ever told me, and the only one I didn’t mind believing.

***

The sun dropped behind the cliffs around eight. We swam back to the yacht together, unhurried, as if nothing had happened. Valeria put her uniform on half-buttoned and brought out a tray of sliced fruit that no one had ordered. Nicolás uncorked champagne. Carolina, with a white sarong over her shoulders and nothing underneath, sat beside Magnus on the aft sofa and rested her head against his chest like a wife after a long day.

No one said much during dinner. Not because there was any awkwardness. Quite the opposite: because no one needed to say anything. We toasted the expansion in the south. We toasted the season. Rodrigo made a joke about synergies that fell flat, and we all laughed too hard.

Gonzalo asked if we were setting sail the next day at six, as planned. Magnus thought about it for a second.

“Ten,” he said. “There’s no rush.”

I went to sleep alone in my cabin. Carolina went with Magnus to his, as expected. But sometime in the night I heard the door, and Daniela slipped into my bed without saying anything. She pressed herself against my naked back, put an arm around my waist, and lowered her hand between my thighs. She stroked me slowly, without urgency, with two fingers. She slipped it inside me from behind while kissing the back of my neck and whispering nonsense I don’t remember. I came softly, almost without a sound, squeezing her hand between my thighs. Then we fell asleep in each other’s arms, with that good tiredness the sea leaves behind.

***

Three months have passed since that trip. The company is carrying on as usual: Magnus runs it, Carolina runs it with him, and I organize increasingly large events. At the office we treat one another with complete professionalism. No one mentions the Skadi, no one mentions Formentera, no one mentions Devil’s Cove.

But yesterday, when I passed through Magnus’s office to give him a proposal, he looked at me for a second longer than necessary over the top of his glasses and said, in that low voice of his:

“We’re doing the retreat again in July. I’ll let you know.”

I said nothing. I closed the door as I left and stood for a moment in the empty hallway, the folder in my hands, trying to remember whether I had any commitment that month that might keep me from going.

I didn’t.
