A novella ~ "Privateer's Desire: Stealing Romance"

[cascadiabound]

Such a worthy punishment ! I fear I would have been more like Kezziah in my rage, and thus let the evil man escape too easily through death. Bravo, good Captain !

Indeed, the Captain and Regge were spot on it meting out the proper punishment to the nasty Spanish Slaver... harsh - but fair!

Love having a new member of our fan club, yukonnights!
Thanks for reading!

 

[cascadiabound]

I am laughing merrily, clutching your arm, my love, my husband… when I hear a familiar sneering laugh. I look up, and, there, mere feet away is the Slaver Captain and four of his men. One holds a lantern aloft and they seem inebriated. I gasp as my grip tightens on your arm as I hiss in my fury,

“YOU!! YOU BASTARD!!” I yell in my rage at his appearance.

The swaggering man chuckles in that leering way I had learned to despise. I reach for my pistol, as I splutter, the blood pounding in my ears as my fury over takes me,

“’TIS MARTEZ!! THE SLAVER CAPTAIN!!!” I yell even louder.

You have your sword out in a thrice. Regge pulls his pistols and the Spaniards draw their weapons as well as Tatyana arms herself with a knife from Regge’s belt.

The melee is brief and decisive, all but Martez are dead or dying on the dock and he is unconscious and groaning slightly.

I can only see red as I pull my stiletto from its sheath, and, the adrenaline pumping through me I tear towards his lumpy form. But, I feel your hand on my arm and your voice loud in my ear. I am screaming, kicking in my fury and then Regge seems to be upon me as well.

The two of you pull me away from the scene and then I feel your arms tight around me as Regge returns to bind up the Slaver. You murmur in my ear as I beat against your chest.

“LET ME AT HIM!!!” I scream, “He will die for what he did to me and all the other poor souls he has sold!!!! HE MUST NOT LIVE ANOTHER DAY!!!!

But no matter how hard I fight, you carry me tightly in your arms. I feel completely out of control. I can hardly stop yelling and screaming. I hear your voice, trying to calm me, but I can barely catch my breath. In moments you have me back aboard the Constantine and in your bed, I am still screaming, swearing and thrashing out at you, my need for revenge on that man overwhelming me.

“Darling,” you soothe, “I know of your desire for revenge, it seethes through every fiber of your being…. I will take care of this matter of vengeance and justice, for he owes me as well.”

I will not be calmed, and before I know it, you have me tied down to the bed, as you mumble apologies for it, murmuring it is for my own safety.

“ARRRGGGHHH!!!!” I yell!

-as I continue to thrash, pulling at the bonds. And then, after quickly kissing me on the forehead, you are gone. The cabin is quiet, except for my ragged breathing.

I pull and squirm at my restraints, leather ties on my wrists to the head board, and similar bonds securing my ankles to the foot board. I find they are secure and I am not able to move more than half a foot in any direction. It is my Captain’s quarters and none will enter save he.

Slowly, I feel my fury settle, and instead I cry briefly as I recall the terrors of my captivity. After a time I calm down enough to feel your care, to hear your calming voice in my ear. I pull again at my restraints and note the softness of the leather you used.

I note how they hold me perfectly, without any chafing or pain. Fleetingly I have what seems a rather naughty thought as I fall asleep, thinking of what fun you might have ravishing me, secured thusly.

I awake with a start as the cabin door bangs open. Lifting my head, I see your silhouette in the early light.

“Darling,” I smile, with a sigh and small shake of my head.

“You are mine, the Captain’s Woman, my friend, my confidant, my lover, my wife, my heart and my charge,” my voice low and commanding.

“Kezziah, wife?" My voice softens, "There is none closer to me. You have a position no other can hope to attain and this gives you many privileges.”

I remove my boots and slowly unbutton my shirt. My eyes never leaving yours.

“When in my presence aboard this ship and among the crew of any kind, I expect you to look to me for direction especially in combat operations and diplomacy.” My voice almost turns into a growl, as I continue. Your eyes widen whilst I climb onto the bed and straddle your waist.

“I am…..” ……..kissing your neck…. “your Captain…..”……. kissing your soft yet firm lips, ……….“You will…..”……. taking ahold of your bodice and scowling in familiar exasperation……”defer to……”……… ripping it open and exposing your breasts and body down to your navel……..”your Captain!”……kissing my way down to your bound and nearly naked body…….”Are… we ….clear?!” ……..taking your nipple betwixt my teeth …I start to tug it, my teeth sinking in. ….you start writhing and moaning as much as your restraints allow but say nothing.

“KEZZIAH!”……..I say sharply and bite harder, then tug harder on the current nipple.

“Yes, yes - oooOOooo… yessssss……” you cry out amidst your moans.

“Yes?” I ask incredulously, my shock showing on my face.

I begin to move as if I am about to get up to leave. I see a bit of panic and desperation fly across your face as it registers what I am saying.

“YES SIR! YES SIR! YES SIR! Please, please, Captain!” you cry out even louder.

“Better,” I growl and return once again to chewing on your nipples with a smile- a smile full of all the lusty plans I have in mind.

It is another fine day of lovemaking accented by an arousal that meets my own. Your passion for me exceeds anything I have heretofore experienced. I am amazed, and in turn, so much more aroused and passionate for you.

The Constantine sails on with the boom of waves against her hull and wind filling the sails. Throughout, the crewmen sing their shanty punctuated with cries from the ever present seagulls and your own frequent moans and shrieks of pleasure as well as a few of my own.

The morning turns to afternoon and food is brought to our cabin. The familiar double knock at the door signals McCord's coming and going. The day rolls forward from afternoon into evening with our unrelenting expressions of love, romance, and passion for each other.

The setting sun shines through the open windows whilst you thrash ineffectually against your bonds as we make love throughout the evening.The salty fresh air of the ocean floods the compartment, lending a scent that will forever be ingrained in my mind with you, your beauty, and the eternal love we share.

SCRATCH AND SNIFF HERE ^^^ TO SMELL THE OCEAN AND SALT AIR
​

The Constantine sails on towards the horizon- towards the setting sun, amongst the brilliant blue waves of the Mediterranean, taking us enroute to a lifetime of breathtaking romance, awesome mystery, and thrilling adventure.WOODEN SHIP SAILING ON THE OCEAN(<<<click this link)

 

[cascadiabound]

You are so commanding, and so handsome as you enter the cabin. Your voice is soothing, but determined. You smile at me. Shaking your head slightly, clearly taking some pleasure in my bound state. I squirm beneath your unrelenting gaze.

“Kezziah, wife? There is none closer to me….this gives you many privileges.”

Your voice softens as you draw near, your boots now removed and set by the door, your fingers slowly working your shirt open. I cannot take my eyes off you as I watch you disrobe and approach me. I can feel my excitement rise.

A moment later you are on the bed, straddling my waist, your large body looming over me. I tug at my wrist restraints, wanting to put my arms around you, feeling so vulnerable to you, your eyes raking over me, my chest heaving, my arousal grows exponentially in response to your voice, husky with your own desire…

“…you will look to me for direction…”

You lean over me… kissing my neck, your breath hot on my skin. “I…. kisss… am…. kisss….. your... kisseseseses… Captain!!...and … kisss… you… will…kisss… defer…. kisssesssesses… to… kisses … me… kisses… in… kisseseses… ALL… kissesssesses… things.”

You retreat from my flesh for a moment, fumbling a bit with my bodice between kisses, you lean back, resting on my thighs, with a look of slight exasperation, you grasp my gown with both hands and rip it asunder, revealing my breasts, torso and belly and nearly exposing my dark curls to the golden light filtering through the cabin windows.

I writhe against you, the restraints holding me tight to the bed-frame, your body pinning me down. In the heat of this moment, of the way you possess me completely the restraints demonstrate the physicality of how I have become yours, the Captain’s Woman, bound to you, obedient to you, yours in every way, and now also bound to you in the eyes of God in marriage. I squirm beneath you, moaning in both pleasure and sexual frustration. Needing you, wanting you, now more than ever before.

The feel of your mouth on my breasts, tugging and biting on my nipples brings me back sharply…the pain sending shock waves of pleasure to my nether regions.

“Yes, yes - oooOOooo… yessssss……” I moan, my body on fire with need.

And suddenly you are pulling away from me. “Yes??” The look of dismay and incredulousness brings me back to full attention… no, no, no… do NOT leave me… I love you…. Need you… oh dear god… what was it he was saying??? That I am to defer to him? Did he ask?… was he clear??? Oh, oh, Kezzie… think, for the love of God, YES YES YES, he was crystal clear! I will obey him…in ALL things…today, tomorrow, FOREVER!!!

“YES SIR! YES SIR! YES SIR! Please, please, Captain!” I cry out in desperation, a wail nearly discernable in my voice.

A smile dances around your lips and your eyes sparkle. My body writhes involuntarily as you regard my naked flesh,

“Better,” you growl, as you return to me, your hands and mouth once again ravishing me as you will, given my completely vulnerable state.

My heat for you seems to grow at a fever pitch as you tease me, touching and kissing me, my body restrained for your pleasure. My mind becomes overwhelmed and unable to think clearly, I feel consumed by you.

Never would I have guessed that simply being tied down to the bed would have such an effect on me. I can feel the dampness between my thighs – hot and slick. Anxious to welcome your touch, needing to be filled by you, my Captain, my Sir, my everything.

The ship rolls on the ocean swell, a pleasurable sensation of motion after so many weeks on the Nile. You give me exquisite pleasure over the next hours, I writhe helplessly against my bonds as you take me just as you will again and again. You strip me bare from my gown… every bit of me exposed to your eyes. When I become parched, you bring me water to drink, holding my head up to assist me to drink.

In the golden light filtering though the cabin windows as the sun sets… there is a moment when I suddenly begin to feel self-conscious in my nakedness, blushing and squirming anew. Somehow, you immediately recogonize my discomfort and … you whisper,

“Kezziah, you are beautiful to me. You are never to be shy in front of me. I will want to see you. ALL of you, darling. I want you to be proud of your body.”

You kiss me and caress me as you speak. And then we are making love again, with a tenderness that belies the bonds that continue to secure me to the bed. You kiss every inch of my flesh. And then, you blind fold me… asking… “Do you trust me, darling?” I nod, biting my lip. “Darling, I need you to say the words… Do you trust me?”

I bite my lip, my voice husky “Yes, my love. I trust you with all my heart.”

“Good, my love. That is most excellent.”

The pleasures you show me in the next few hours are beyond my wildest imagination. We join together again and again.

As the sun begins to set, you light candles casting a glow throughout the whole room.

“My love…” you whisper into the near darkness as you caress me, finally releasing me from my bonds and blindfold, so I can finally curl my body around yours, “this is just the beginning of our adventure together. Together, we will see things you never imagined. We will search for treasure and seek our fortune. But – I am already the richest man alive, because I have you, my Kezziah, my woman, by my side. You thrill me every time I look upon you, and your laughter fills me with a joy I cannot describe.”

I sigh with a deep contentment I did not know was possible in this life or the next.

“My dearest Captain,” I whisper as I kiss your neck… “let us chase the sun into a life of adventure.”

A lark I never saw coming.

Very enjoyable ! Nice touch with the YouTube ending...the music was perfect and the images spot on. So what's next, the movie? (I hope you have secured the copyright to this as it really would be a good draft idea for a movie...maybe you'll get rich from this little lark that grew to be more ?)

Well, you know? Who knows what the future brings for this torrid tale of high adventure, romance, and mystery?

We are really glad you like the video. That alone is the result of both of us with many hours of patience and effort.

Thank you, really, for just reading along.

Cascadia and MrT, thank you for filling our winter months with this amazing and fun adventure! I'm so sorry to see it end, but that just means that it ended as it should have - with your audience wanting more.

Congratulations to you both, and thank you for brightening the days here with your creativity and delicious imaginations!

Yeah, I'm still a little pissed about the mysterious treasure But you're right...it ended just where it should have...with us wanting more and having to imagine on our own what unfolds next...if this was a Hollywood production I would be even more pissed from knowing that a hook had been set for the sequel

Looking forward to the next one already!

AKL...I hear you read us every day without fail.
It pleases me/ us no end that our tale helped to brighten your winter months, and the fact we left you wanting more...well...Isn't that delicious?

We are warmed by your thanks and congratulations.

So sorry to hear you are miffed about the treasure, (lol) yuknonnights... but we are awfully glad you found the story and came along here at the end.

Hero and heroine sailing off into the sunset seemed a perfectly cliché way to end a sublimely cliché bodice ripping romance which started almost with love declared at first sight!

Mr T and I will have to catch our breath from all the twists and turns and see if we have more story in us or not.

Looking forward to the next one already!

Glad to see you Liz! Thanks for the encouragement... time will tell.

Yes, I found the story late, and then it took me a number of reads to catch up from the beginning (I won't mention the late hours and lost sleep...well, maybe I just did ...but all that, only to have it end with no treasure! I'm thinking there's still lots of cold days ahead and now this? No treasure, no story to read when it's raining...and to boot, I tried everything I could think of attempting to buy a souvenir tee-shirt this morning, and no luck with that either

Frankly, I'm gonna call somebody, or write a letter, or something ~ for you... and one for you !

Late hours? Loss of sleep? I think I can speak for both of us. You're in good company. I know I have lost many many hours just in production. Cb as well.

It's actually the mark of a true Litizen. We all lose sleep. Heh


Thanks for the hearts. But really? Thanks for visiting and posting. So glad it you liked it.
