Niko yawned and cracked his eyes open as the dawn light filtered through the cabin window.

He remembered where he was and what had happened last night and a smile played across his lips, despite feeling scratchy and hungover.

He reached out to touch Indy’s cheek.

"What the fuck!"

Niko leapt up and hit his head on the low roof.

"Shit. Ouch!"

He pointed at Opal, speechless, waggling his finger at her.

He suddenly realised he was naked with his manhood almost touching her.

He gripped up the blanket and clasped it around his groin and backside.

Then he realised that Opal was lying completely naked, and he had stripped the blanket off her.

"Waah!" he closed his eyes and turned his head away, throwing the blanket onto Opal and groping around blindly to make sure it had covered her up.

"I didn’t see anything, I promise!" he said, as he turned back to face her now that she was covered in a blanket from neck to toe.

He half-stumbled, half-fell off the bed onto the tiny patch of floor, hitting his back against the door and nearly busting it open, locked or not.

He was fumbling around for his clothes. Finding his t-shirt first he dragged it on, trying to pull it down low enough to shield his member from Opal’s view.

He used his feet to continue to hunt around but stopped when he felt his underwear. He looked down to find his boxers covered in the detritus of last night’s activity.

He frowned, grabbing his uniform and dragging the pants up over his bare privates.

"Where’s Indy?" he growled, looking aggressively at Opal. "And what are you doing naked in her bed?"

He looked around the miniature cabin as though Indy might be hiding somewhere and pop right out yelling, ’surprise!’.

"What do you mean, ’where’s Indy’?" asked Opal with surprise. "Why would she be in my cabin Niko? Especially after what we did together last night," she whispered these last words and blushed, looking down at her hands which she was wringing desperately.

"What do you fucking mean ’what we did together?’ We did nothing," he said adamantly, willing for it to be true.

Please God, if you still exist, don’t let me have had sex with Opal, he silently prayed. I promise I’ll say my prayers every day and believe in you with all my heart if you save me from this.

"What do you mean, Niko?" Opal’s voice cracked and a single beautiful tear trickled down her cheek.

Masterclass in acting, she thought. She had conjured that tear by imagining losing this beautiful man to Indy.

"I gave you my virginity!" she cried. "How can you say that’s nothing?" she let out a little sob.

"No, no... No!" Niko rubbed his eyes with his fists, trying to rub away this mess. "This is Indy’s cabin. I didn’t sleep with you last night," he shook his head, willing what appeared on the face of things, to be untrue.

"Indy and I swapped cabins yesterday so I could be next door to Bren. She was never in this cabin yesterday, Niko. She’s in the cabin next door to Loveday."

He scratched his hair manically, making it stand on end. His head tilted to the side and his mouth dropped open. He closed his eyes, breathing deeply. "No, no, no," he whispered to himself under his breath.

He opened his eyes and looked directly into Opal’s eyes. "How could it be you. I remember talking to Indy."

He had to admit his memory of the night was a little hazy with the alcohol, but he did recall her saying ’yes’.

"That was me you were talking to Niko," her eyes were pools of sadness. "You asked me if I was ready, and I agreed. I could feel your," she nodded shyly in the direction of his member, "and I knew you were in need. I thought you felt the same way I feel about you, Niko, I like you, that’s why I gave you my first time."

"You know I like Indy!" he said with frustration. "Why would you think I like you?"

Now that he thought about it, Indy had been wearing a sleeping mask and a towel wrapped around her hair. Could that really have been Opal? How could he have missed it?

Opal’s boobs were smaller than Indy’s and all natural; there’s no way he would confuse the two women.

But he had fucked her from behind and somehow, he had never reached for her tits, despite them being his favourite part of her.

Bloody tiny cabin! He’d been stuck in that stupid position behind her, barely able to move. It was like a fucking contortionist’s act just managing to make love to her.

"I’ve seen the way you look at me, Niko. I saw you spying on me from behind the lifeboat yesterday."

"I was perving at Indy!" he said with exasperation. "Look Opal, you’re a good-looking girl, and I’m a man, I’m sure I’ve given you an admiring glance once or twice, but Indy is the girl I like. Everyone knows that!"

God, why have you forsaken me? Niko pleaded. Now I won’t pray every day or believe in you! he sent up his angry prayer bargain up to his Maker he didn’t believe in.

Opal wiped at the tears that were streaming down her face now.

"What am I meant to do now, Niko? You’ve taken my virginity! What good man will marry me? I’m damaged goods."

He scratched his neck, closing his eyes again.

"Let me think about it Opal. This is all a terrible mistake. I need some time," he sounded defeated.

"Don’t take too long Niko," she sniffed. "If you’re not going to take responsibility for what you’ve done, I’ll need to tell my brother."

Figures, he thought, now she was threatening him.

"Just give me some time," he mumbled.

He stuffed the sullied boxers in his pocket and unlocked the cabin door.

Indy was coming down the hallway dressed for her morning exercises on the deck.

She looked with surprise at Niko, who was clearly dishevelled, and then at the door to Opal’s tiny cabin.

"Not too long Niko," came Opal’s muffled voice from behind the door.

Perfect! he thought, just in case Indy was in any doubt about why he was coming out of Opal’s cabin.

"Indy..." his voice cracked.

"Don’t even start, Niko," she said coldly, turning and stalking back the way she had come.

Niko turned to the wall of the corridor and banged his head against it until the physical pain cut through the emotional turmoil.
