On the high seas, early 1800s, life can be boring. But things can sometimes get interesting. A ship's crew is only men: hot, sweaty, men in close quarters. This means loneliness, sexual tension, and lots of gay love...
As an officer, the Lieutenant knew he wasn't supposed to mess around with the crew, romantically or sexually. But when he witnesses the perfect, mostly naked body of a cute sailor getting whipped, it is irresistible love at first sight.
Seeing the man tied helplessly and getting lashed on his naked bottom awoke a burning desire in the lieutenant, and he had to attempt to get to know the sailor, perhaps intimately. Danger lurked everywhere: pirates, enemy ships, a cruel and jealous captain, and prying eyes of crewmen wondering why two men where making so much noise below deck.
Could the lieutenant and the sailor make their love work? Or would their romance be dashed to pieces like their ship in the middle of the battle?
