  “And that is your command, Little Princess?”

  She flushed, and I became acutely aware of her diamond hard tits against my chest.

  “That is my command,” she said regally.

  I kissed her eyelids, then her cheekbones and chin, finally I came to her mouth and kissed it softly.

  “Then it shall be so,” my vow soaking into both of us.

  Her lips trembled and then a shy smile broke out.

  I felt myself softening and pulled my cock from her warmth. Her eyes showed immediate disappointment, and I knew that I would never get used to her beauty. Not if we lived another thousand years or more.

  I turned to walk to a basin to grab a rag, and she cried out in horror.

  “Your back! Did I do that? Goddess, Alex, I am so sorry!”

  I wanted to tease her. She looked mortified. So, I didn’t.

  “Badges of honor, Little Princess. You marked me as yours just as surely as I marked you as mine.”

  Her flush deepened, “I drew blood a few times.”

  My eyes darkened, “Perhaps I will feel it tomorrow, and it will remind me of the wildcat that I adore. I imagine that every time you sit, you will be reminded of me.”

  I ignored her gasp of surprise as I gently cleaned her pussy before throwing the cloth to the floor and gathering her into my arms.

  Her contented sigh, as she nestled into my chest, would be one that I will cherish for the rest of my days.

  CHAPTER 36 – Tiger Lilly

  “MY QUEEN,” SILVER’S silky voice was in stark contrast to his eyepatch, peg leg, persona. “We need to get to the bottom of the bay. Surely, we can come to some sort of compromise?”

  The mermaid queen eyed the old pirate warily. Mermaids were notoriously vain and effortlessly sensual. Besides Silver’s voice, there was nothing about him that a mermaid would want to take a second look at.

  “I have been swimming these waters all of my life, Captain,” the queen shook her dark hair, and one of her small dusky nipples peeked through her hair.

  My eyes immediately went to Alex’s. I told myself that if he was looking it was only natural., that guys were attracted to naked women, it didn’t mean anything. He wasn’t acting on it.

  But in my heart, I knew that if he was staring, I might have to remove his balls forcefully.

  To my surprise, he was neither looking at the queen’s exposed breast or her face. Alex was staring straight at me with a small knowing smile on his lips.

  Sure, I was a little insecure about my breasts. There was nothing wrong with them, but they weren’t huge like Ebony’s. And I didn’t flash them about as the mermaids did.

  I lifted my chin and raised a brow in silent question.

  Alex’s lips lifted higher, and his eyes began to dance.

  Damn him and his knowing glances! And damn this stupid green-eyed jealousy that was threatening to eat me alive.

  I scoffed and turned back to Silver and the mermaid queen who were now arguing terms. There seemed to be some disagreement about Silver’s bribe, he had brought along gold, and while the mermaids enjoyed pretty things, I knew immediately that it wasn’t going to sway them.

  My insides were at war. I didn’t know if helping Silver to try and out trick him later had been the best idea. But that was the situation I had found myself in.

  “Do you have jewels, Captain Silver?” I interrupted him mid-sentence. “Do you have fancy looking glasses, tiaras, necklaces, and rings?”

  The mermaid queen immediately sparkled, “Yes, bring all of that and more, and we will allow you to explore our bay.”

  Silver’s eyes narrowed at me, and I smiled innocently back at him.

  “Tiger Lilly,” he barked out, “If you will assist me?”

  I knew Alex wanted to grip my wrist. He didn’t want me alone with Silver any more than I wanted to go. But I followed him anyway, because if we were going to do this, we needed to do it right.

  Once we moved off from the group Silver turned on me, “Just what sort of game are you playing lassie?”

  I gulped but held his gaze, “The mermaids think they are the most beautiful creatures alive. They have no use for gold. But anything that they perceive to enhance their beauty will be of worth to them.”

  Silver got an odd glint in his eye, “Would they know the difference between glass and the real thing?”

  He was starting to catch on.

  “No, Captain, I don’t believe so. They are concerned about the appearance of something, not the quality.”

  The old pirate’s wicked grin was infectious.

  “Well then, lassie, I have just the treasure for this fine merfolk.”

  He signaled to his first mate, and they had a word in private. It wasn’t more than fifteen minutes later that Black Dog returned with a small chest. Upon opening it, Silver showed the mermaid queen several shiny necklaces and sparkly tiaras. I would imagine that they would have been popular at an earth girl’s birthday party.

  But the mermaids didn’t know that.

  Draping themselves in the jewelry, the mermaids sat admiring themselves and each other in the small handheld mirror that Silver had taken from his own cabin.

  There was a rustle among the crew that he certainly never used it. I politely refrained from comment.

  Alex’s mouth hung open as we strapped ourselves into the diving gear.

  “How did you know what to do?” he asked in a low voice.

  “It’s about knowing your audience,” I said loftily.

  His eyes widened before a small smile broke across his whiskered jaw.

  Damn, he was sexy.

  “What would you have offered if I was the mermaid queen?” he asked, thinking that he would have me stumped. “I am not partial to jewels, and I have plenty of gold.”

  I scoffed, “That is easy, you should really have given me a hard one.”

  His eyes narrowed, “Go on then, what would you have offered me?”

  Right as he stuck his mouthpiece up to his lips, I pushed him back into the water. But not before answering, “Me.”

  I saw the look of surprise and lust cloud his features before he sank into the depths. Attaching my mouthpiece, I quickly followed him. The Mermaid Lagoon was clear and had tropical fish that mingled with the coral reefs, that lived just below the surface.

  I was surprised to see so many mermaids. There had to be at least twenty. But we weren’t there for the mermaids. We were there for the map.

  Alex and I swam out a little further, until we were close to where some of the old shipwrecks littered the bay. We searched up and down every one of them. It seemed like we had been down there for hours, but it couldn’t have been that long. We didn’t have enough air in the tanks.

  Sadly, we had gone through every ship, and not one of them held the map.

  Just as Alex was signaling that we needed to go up, I saw a strange looking piece of coral that didn’t look natural. I waved Alex off and swam over to the reef. This area was blackened and seemed incongruent with the rest of the area.

  I grasped the long piece sticking out, but nothing happened. It had been a long shot, but I figured it was worth a try. Alex was swimming over to where I was and indicating that we had to leave.

  I knew that, but I also had the strangest feeling that something wasn’t right. I looked around and saw the queen eying us with hatred. Her teeth were sharpening to little points.

  My hand went back to the coral, and I twisted, pulled, poked, and prayed. Because with a shrill cry the mermaid queen pointed to where we were swimming. Alex didn’t hesitate to yank three times on our ropes. That was the indication that something was wrong. I felt the jerk as the pirates began to pull us up.

  I didn’t want to give up!

  Frantically I moved my hands over the coral as I felt my body began to lift. At the last minute, I punched it with everything that I had, and it shattered. Alex looked at me in surprise, as a tube popped up out of the coral.

  I grabbed it w
ith the tips of my fingers just as we were yanked closer to the surface. The merfolk was racing towards us, but they hadn’t been close enough, to begin with.

  The second we cleared the water, Alex ripped his mouthpiece off.

  “They are coming, hurry!”

  We were pulled unceremoniously onto the deck of the ship, just as the merfolk broke the surface.

  The queen was shouting obscenities, but Silver would hear none of it. A deal, after all, was a deal.

  The mermaids closest to the ship threw their jewelry at the ship. But most had terrible aim, and it began to sink into the water. With a scream of outrage, they began to fight amongst themselves as other mermaids stole the tossed goods.

  Silver wasn’t stupid enough to hang around. As soon as the wind hit our sails, we left with the map in hand.

  CHAPTER 37 – Alex

  “WHAT IN THE HELL IS this?” Silver raged as we all stared at the blank map. Obviously, it had been created to work in code, but without the knowledge of how to release the images, it was about as useful to us as toilet paper.

  Silver tried using smoke, almost damn near burned the sheet up in the process. He tired salt water, sand, and even blood. But no matter what he tried, nothing worked.

  Tiger Lilly was once again locked up in the cabin below, and I was glad that she wasn’t there to see Silver losing his shit. The man was ranting and raving at everyone. He sounded more like the red queen threatening his men that they were going to lose their heads, than the Silver we knew.

  To me, there was only one person left to turn to, Tinkerbell.

  If it was magic causing the map to be blank, she would be able to unlock it. I supposed that Puck could also help, but I didn’t know about Peter. When he was tossed from fairly land his magic was taken away. For a time, when he first came, Peter could still fly. But that had been a long time ago.

  “We need the fairy, Silver,” he flinched, as I voiced my opinion.

  “We don’t need any more fucking fairies, Alex!”

  “Captain, if this is coded by magic, that is the only way to unlock it,” I leaned in close. “And if Hook gets a hold of the map you might as well give up.”

  “Do you trust her? I haven’t met a fairy yet that is worth putting my trust in. Shit, the reason we are in this mess is that Peter stole the treasure from me in the first place, and then Hook got ahold of it. I wish I knew what happened to it after that.”

  It struck me at that moment that I didn’t have a fucking clue what I was doing. I was double-crossing Silver every bit as much as Peter had all those years ago. To make matters worse, I was working for my father who hadn’t the decency to claim me as his bastard son.

  Was I fighting on the right side?

  Who were the good guys?

  Silver wasn’t evil. He might be shrewd, double-crossing, and a downright dirty fighter. But did that make someone bad?

  In the same regard, what was Hook? There had been times in my life when I would have sworn that he was the evilest man alive. But that wasn’t true either.

  “Why do you want the treasure?” I blurted out, not answering his previous question.

  Silver’s jaw ticked, “It’s my treasure.”

  I got that, I really did. But something still nagged at the back of my mind.

  “If you take it from Neverland, the island will die, all of these creatures will die. Are you ready to sentence everyone to death?”

  Silver’s jaw tightened, “The treasure doesn’t make the island survive, it is the Never Stone.”

  “Isn’t that part of the treasure?” I didn’t understand.

  It seemed like everyone was speaking in circles. Who was to be trusted or was anyone? I was starting to wonder.

  Silver grunted, “I asked you a question before.”

  I raised a brow, “No, I wouldn’t trust any of them.” And then I looked him straight in the eye, “But I don’t think I’d trust you either.”

  Instead of becoming angry, Captain Silver threw his head back and laughed.

  “Smart Lad!”

  I grumbled something about needing to check on the hostage and slipped down below.

  As soon as I opened the door, Tiger Lilly looked up from where she was reading on the berth. Her gorgeous eyes raked my face, and I felt my cock twinge.

  Damn, she was so beautiful that it hurt to gaze upon her perfect features. I locked the door behind me and went to speak with her. But first I needed a small taste of her lips.

  Tiger Lilly tilted her head up as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The moment our lips touched I would have sworn that the room illuminated with light.

  Magic, this woman’s love was pure magic.

  And then I heard the voices.

  “What the fuck?” I reluctantly wrenched my lips away.

  Tinkerbell and Puck stood in the small cabin with bright eyes.

  “You can’t be here! Silver wants to capture one of the fairies to figure out the map.”

  “Why are you here?” Puck demanded, shoving Tinkerbell behind him. “I thought you worked for your father?”

  “He might share my blood, but Hook has never been a father to me. Don’t refer to that bastard as my father.”

  Tinkerbell raised her brow, and pushed past Puck, “Alex, what is going on?”

  It didn’t take very long to catch them up as to what was happening onboard the Henrietta. They filled us in on the camp of rebels.

  “We went to Hook first,” Tinkerbell added, “But he smugly said that he already had a plan in place. That must be you.”

  I felt like I had to lay out my misgivings, “I don’t know who to believe.”

  Puck smiled, “You are smarter than you look, pretty boy.”

  I scowled as the girls giggled.

  “Neither pirate should get a hold of the Never Stone,” Tiger Lilly wrinkled her brow, “The question is how we get it before they do and who do we entrust with such a valuable object.”

  “I have an idea about that.”

  I turned in shock to see my best friend, Ebony, and Peter.

  “How? What?”

  Ebony raised one sassy brow, “Did you think that we would abandon you, Alex?”

  “No, but I don’t know how this is possible.”

  Ebony looked over at Peter, the love in her gaze, was almost embarrassing to behold. But I was happy for her. This woman had been like a sister to me all these years, and if anyone deserved a happily ever after, she did.

  Peter cleared his throat, “Puck and Tinkerbell can be rather convincing when they want to be.”

  “So, what is the plan?” Tiger Lilly asked.

  Puck grinned and shimmered into the exact replica of Captain James Bartholomew Hook. Every affectation was the same from the way he held his head to the cock jut of his jaw.

  Then Tinkerbell turned to Ebony, “It’s time.”

  Ebony smiled at the curvy blonde, “Tinkerbell, I wish you were small again.”

  There was a flash of disappointment as the fairy began to shrink in size. I knew that she hated being in that diminutive form. But they clearly had thought this out, so I waited to hear what the plan would be.

  Puck turned to the rest of us, “I should probably say that I am sorry for this.”

  His cocky smirk had me hesitant.

  “What are you...?”

  In a flash, we were all shrinking the same way that Tinkerbell just had. I watched Tiger Lilly’s hair lighten and her form change.

  He wouldn’t.

  Shit on a stick—he did.

  Fuck me if there weren’t five tiny identical fairies gaping at each other.

  “You made me into a fucking chick?” I fumed.

  Puck’s laugh made me want to put a fist through him. But considering that he was huge, and I looked like a firefly I resorted to flipping him off.

  Tinkerbell smirked, “You even have the attitude down.”

  I wasn’t even sure if it was Tinkerbell that had spoken. That smart remark had
Ebony written all over it.

  Then I looked down and realized I had tits. I know how inappropriate the thought was.

  But I am a guy, and these things are like the holy grail.

  I cupped my breasts, "Holy Fuck!"

  Three very angry Tinkerbell's descended upon me, kicking my ass.

  All the while Puck laughed.

  Part 4

  CHAPTER 38 – Ebony

  I LOVED ALEX, BUT HE could be the biggest douche. Tiger Lilly wasn’t speaking to him, and Tinkerbell kept calling him the pervert.

  I looked over to where I hoped was Peter standing. It was hard to tell with five small fairies that were identical in size and appearance.

  “Peter?” I called out in Tinkerbell’s voice. The replica across from me nodded and I grabbed a string to tie around his wrist. “We need to be able to tell each other apart. I will pull my hair into a bun and use this sting as a bracelet on Peter.”

  Another Tinkerbell nodded, “I will put my hair in braids.”

  Obviously, that was Tiger Lilly, so I looked at the last two.

  “Alex wanted to wear this flower in his hair. Don’t you pervert?” Tinkerbell lifted a white daisy and smiled.

  Alex frowned with Tinkerbell’s pouty lips, “I’m a dude. Why should I wear the flower?”

  Tinkerbell scowled, “You are borrowing my face, pervert. You can do whatever I tell you to.”

  Puck laughed at her antics and looked on in adoration. I could only imagine what kind of trouble Tinkerbell and Puck got up to when left unattended.

  After I finished tying the string around Peter’s wrist. I was happy to see that I could tell the difference now between all the Tink’s.

  Peter had his string bracelet. Tiger Lilly was in braids. I had my hair in a bun, and a surly Alex had a big white daisy in his hair.

  Tinkerbell, the original one, looked the same as she always had when in her diminutive form. We looked to Puck, who was the leader of this madness, and he immediately went to the cabin door and flung it open.

  Puck was still wearing the Hook glamour so there were automatic shouts from the pirates that Hook was aboard. The five of us, having been fairly doused in pixie dust, flew out of the cabin, and spread out to search for the map.
