Pirate Captive

He's a pirate, stealing from royalty and hiding his bounty beneath the floorboards of his ship. No one can match his wit or his prowess, and he takes what he wants. When another pirate dares to take him on, determined to have his ship and the bounty it holds, he isn't expecting the captain to be a woman. But he is known as the great seducer, and certain that he will have the beautiful woman in his bed soon enough, showing her no mercy while his men seize her ship. This is no ordinary woman, though. This captain is as ruthless as any man.

She left her clean clothes and wool towel by the ship wall and began to take off her old, sweaty outfit. The cool sea breeze caused goose bumps to dance across her tanned skin. She grinned and shut her eyes before reaching behind her and undoing her bun, allowing her sweaty hair to fall down her back to her butt. As she stood there, she felt like the wind was seducing her. It's been too long, she thought, opening her eyes and gazing at the stars. I need to take a lover for a night at the next port.

Without bothering to use the ladder, she swung her legs over the side, clutching her bar of soap to her breasts, and lunged off the boat.

Tomas crept around and hid at the back of the boat behind some barrels where the sound of splashing quickly drew his attention. Curiously, he peeked over the side of the ship, expecting to see a fat fish jumping in the water, but instead he saw something else. It was Marmalade. Naked Marmalade.

He gasped and tried to stop looking before he got caught, but he couldn't. This was the first time he truly believed he had met a siren, or at the very least, a mermaid. By the moonlight, he saw her golden hair flowing around her in the water, encasing her in a mystic, beautiful veil.

Tomas moaned, angry at himself for fantasizing about the enemy. Marmalade appeared again, much closer this time. Her golden hair fell down past her waist, clinging to her gorgeous sea drenched skin. Her eyes were no longer sharp but appeared mellow and refreshed, just as he imagined she would look after being bedded.
