“Sometimes, when you are looking for love as hard as you are, it is impossible not to see the right person in everybody.”
He looked down at his feet. A little saddened by my response.
“But I will say… that I have never opened up to anybody before the way, I have opened up to you.”
He smiled, finding a sort of comfort in this. I smiled back at him, and before I could control myself, I was leaping across the table and kissing him. I couldn’t lie to myself any longer, there was something there. Something inside of me was screaming, telling me to take him. To let him take me. He picked me up and carried me to the bed. He was strong. Our breath was in synch. The heaviness of our breathing entwined us in unison. He began kissing my neck, all the while his hands running over my body. I could feel the silk covering his hands, giving him a soft and gentle touch. I almost lost myself completely as his hands slid underneath the skirt of my dress, but then I panicked.
“No. Don’t,” I said, as I reached down and grabbed his wrists.
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
I took a deep breath and let out a sigh. Why did I do this to myself?
“I just- I… I’m a virgin.”
He looked deep into my eyes for a moment and then smiled gently.
“That’s okay. I will be gentle.”
He made his way back under the skirt of my dress, but I couldn’t bring myself to get the courage to do this. Not quite yet. I stopped him again, gently, so he knew it had nothing to do with him.
“I’m sorry, Dimitrius. I just… I don’t think I am ready.”
He stopped, slightly defeated, but smiled at me lovingly. He slid beside me on the bed and wrapped his arms around my waist.
“I will wait, as long as you need to.”
At this moment, even though words hadn’t been said, I knew. I knew he loved me just as much as I loved him. How could this be? We had just met. This changed everything I had ever believed in. Love, at first sight, was real. As we drifted off to sleep together, I couldn’t help but smile. Jonathan seemed so far away now.
Chapter Five
Dimitrius and I spent three months together before we first made love. We had done other things, of course, and he was amazing at what he did. When he used his tongue, I melted. He made sounds come out of me that I didn’t even know were possible. His touch alone was enough to make me orgasm. I pleasured him, just as much as he pleasured me. He helped me learn new things, and when I used my mouth, he melted into mine, literally. I didn’t know much about men’s penises, but Dimitrius seemed to think I was amazing, and I thought he was very large. I constantly thought about what it would be like to have it inside of me, and honestly, I didn’t know how it was going to happen. I was beginning to feel more and more comfortable with him after every adventure we took, and more and hornier. I had never been free to choose when I wanted to lose my virginity. With Johnathan, we were going to get married and then we were going to have sex. Cut and dry. But this tension that was building between Dimitrius and I was making me want it more and more each day. I remember a few instances when I almost took him right then and there. The first place we sailed to was a place called Pangea. This civilization was one ruled entirely by women. Dimitrius and I went and visited all of the beautiful shops. He bought me a magnificent turquoise necklace and earrings to match. We dined and watched the stars late at night.
“This is the best place in the world to look at the stars,” Dimitrius said to me. “Trust me. I’ve been everywhere and haven’t found a place better.”
I looked into his eyes, the stars reflecting in them, and thought about how this would be a perfect time. As soon as I was about to make a move, I chickened out. Yes, this was romantic, but it wasn’t the right time. I could see it in his eyes that he was thinking about the same thing, but neither of us brought it up. We sat together and enjoyed each other’s company. I stared into the night sky as the shooting stars illuminated the darkness. The next time he was teaching me how to shoot a bow and arrow in the country Native Interland. Native Interland is one large forest. The civilians of this place had learned to integrate nature into their everyday lives. Nothing that grew was ever destroyed unless it could be used for a better purpose; such as food. I was having trouble pulling the bow string, so Dimitrius had come up behind me to help. He wrapped his arms around mine and pushed his pelvis against the small of my back. I could feel his bulge pushing lightly against the small of my back, and I could feel his breath on the back of my neck. My skin raised into goosebumps, which happened a lot when he was around. He helped me pull the bow back, and for the first time, I could feel his true strength. After firing the bow and hitting my target, the adrenaline rush was so intense I almost took him right there in the shrubbery. Once again, I fought it. I didn’t know how much longer I was going to be able to fight it, though. The third and final time we had traveled to Tortuga, what Benjamin called Pirate City! It was an amazing sight to see. A pirate civilization! All of these pirates located in one place, safe and secure; tucked away from the world. It was interesting to watch Dimitrius in his natural atmosphere. He drank and talked and always remained calm and collected while everyone else around, even Benjamin, made a ruckus. He was popular and well liked, and I fell in love with him even more. I drank a little too much, and we both ended up in an upstairs bedroom of the tavern. My clothes were completely off, and so were his. I came to my senses just in time to stop myself. He was about to penetrate me when I stopped him. He smiled at me like he always did and made a little joke.
“I thought this was going to happen this time.”
“Not while we are drunk,” I said to him.
That was just an excuse. I didn’t have the courage enough to tell him I was too scared. Even if it did feel like ecstasy. We finished each other off in other ways and laid naked together in the bed. Tonight was the night I wouldn’t be able to fight it, though. He was spooning me on his bed in the captain’s chambers as he always did, one arm around my body. I rolled over and looked deep into his eyes. I couldn’t fight my feelings any longer. I had to let them out. What was I afraid of anyway? Was I afraid that I would get hurt again? Yes, definitely! Was I afraid that he would leave me or fall in love with someone else? For sure I was! Something inside of me though told me to trust it; to trust that it will never happen; to trust that he is the one for me.
“What is it?” He asked me.
“I… I love you.”
He looked deep into my eyes for a moment. That moment felt like an eternity, waiting for him to say it back. I was scanning his face for any sign of what he was thinking. My heartbeat was pounding in my chest.
“I love you too.” He replied, an incredible smile breaking his face and tears of joy filling his eyes.
We were already naked, and as soon as I heard the words, I rolled on top of him. I could feel the excitement growing in my body. This was it. It was going to happen for real this time.
We started kissing passionately. As we kissed, our breaths grew heavier. I could feel his penis becoming erect and pushing against the lips of my vagina. I felt like I was going to explode, but I fought it. I rolled over onto my back, and he followed. I could feel his body weight pushing lightly against me. He started kissing my neck and made his way down to my breasts. I could feel his goatee lightly scratching against my smooth skin. As he began to kiss my nipples, my vagina pulsed and tightened, shocks of pleasure running through my body. The goosebumps came again, and as he made his way down, I had to fight my orgasm. My breaths were catching in my chest, and my moans of pleasure were growing. I could feel his hands on my thighs. Shivers of pleasure were causing my body to spasm, and I could feel my legs tensing, squeezing against his head. As my cries of pleasure peaked and I thought I wasn’t going to be able to fight it any longer, he stopped and brought himself back on top of me. My back was arched and my body tense, so I let out a deep breath to bring myself back under control. He looked deep into my eyes, and I could feel his penis playing w
ith my vagina. As he took his hand and guided himself, I could feel him beginning to push. My heart was racing, and my breath was heavy.
“I’m scared,” I said, just as he was about to push himself in.
“Don’t be afraid.” He said to me, never taking his eyes away from mine. “I promise I will take care of you.”
“Be gentle,” I said.
He kissed my lips more gently than ever before and began to push his way into me. I could feel myself being filled up slowly as he pushed himself deep. Every inch that went in made my moans turn to cries and then to screams of pleasure. I wouldn’t be surprised if the rest of the crew could hear me. He slowly pushed in and just when I thought it was going to stop there was more. I knew he was big, but inside of me, he felt huge. I came twice before I felt his pelvis connect with mine. I wasn’t even fully conscious of what was happening. My mind felt so good, my neurons were firing on all cylinders. My body felt even better than my mind, and the sounds that were coming from my mouth were sounds I never knew I could make. I smiled between breaths of moans and screams. I looked deep into his eyes and saw how he was fighting to come.
“You are so tight.” He whispered. Barely able to hold himself
“Cum for me. Please! I want to feel it.”
These words were like magic because as soon as I said them, he came. The pulsing in his body sent shivers through mine and made me cum again. I screamed so loud as my nails dug into his back. He buried his face in my neck as grunts of pleasure escaped him. Before I knew what was happening, he began to push in and pull out hard. My eyes opened wide as my breath caught and my body moved with every push in and pull out. I couldn’t breathe for a second. This felt incredible! It was a mixture of pleasure and a slight pain that I somehow enjoyed. As he came again he pushed deep into me, so deep I could feel him above my belly button. I screamed louder than any time so far. My body spasmed and shook as I lost control of it. I felt my vagina explode as I squirted and pulled him deeper into me. His body shook as I held on to him and his grunts and groans were so loud in my ear.
“Oh, god! Yes!” He said, before collapsing on top of me.
We both laid there in complete bliss. I didn’t know for how long. I didn’t care. We laid in each other’s arms, allowing ourselves to melt into one being. Once we had regained ourselves, he pushed himself up on his elbows so he could look into my face.
“That was the most amazing thing I have ever felt.”
I smiled at him and allowed him to kiss me. He wasn’t wrong. I felt it too. It wasn’t just the physical pleasure, but something inside of my soul connected with his. It sparked a flame in me I didn’t even know existed until now. As we laid in each other’s arms and drifted off to sleep, I knew then and there that I had just found my soul mate. This love was real.
Chapter Six
Waking up the next day, I felt different. I was happy. Truly happy, for the first time in what seemed like forever. I wasn’t going through the motions. I was awake and alive. I rolled over and kissed Dimitri. He was asleep but stirred lightly when my lips touched his. His hand slowly caressed the small of my back as he pulled me in close. We made love. It was more gentle this time than last night. I could tell he was still tired, so I let him relax while I did most of the work. I was laying on his chest, listening to his heartbeat as his chest rose up and down slowly when there was a knock on the cabin door. I covered myself up.
“Enter!” Dimitri said before I barely had time to slip under the covers.
Benjamin entered confidently until he saw me hiding under the blanket. His cheeks reddened slightly as he looked away.
“Uh… is this a… good time?” He asked, trying not to look in our direction.
Dimitri laid barely covered up, with one leg hanging off of the bed. He reached over to the stand that was beside his bed and removed a pipe and some herbs.
“What is it, Benjamin?” He said, trying to push this along.
“Umm, right… sorry to disturb you… the both of you, but you might want to come up on deck and have a look for yourself.”
“Is it really that important that I get up right now?!” He said, smoking his pipe and stroking his long chin beard.
“There are sails, sir.”
There was a pause in conversation as Dimitrius processed what had just been told to him. He looked at me, disappointed, and kissed me lightly.
“Sorry, about this.” He said as he stood up.
Benjamin turned away, bobbing awkwardly on his heels. Captain Fox had no shame, but Benjamin did. What an odd partnership I thought to myself.
“I will come with you,” I said as I sat up with the sheets still wrapped around me.
“You can if you want, but I’m sure it is nothing. Why don’t you just stay here and relax.”
He had pants on now but remained shirtless. He leaned over and kissed me passionately. I looked into his eyes as we pulled away from each other.
“I want to come with you,” I said, never breaking my stare. “Wherever you go, I will be there. I hope you can get used to that.” I tried to play this off with some comedy, but I was serious.
He smiled at me and cupped my cheek in his palm. I could feel his hand caressing me, and it brought a sense of comfort.
“I welcome that.” He said to me. “Wherever I am, I want you there.”
We kissed passionately again, forgetting about Benjamin until he cleared his throat.
“While this is romantic and all–”
“Yeah, yeah!” Fox replied, slightly annoyed that our moment had been interrupted. “Give the lady some privacy. We will be up in a moment.”
Hearing Dimitri refer to us as we made my heart skip a beat. Every moment the two of us were together I fell in love with him more and more. He picked out something casual for me to wear and we made our way onto the deck.
“I’m not going to do that for you forever, I hope you know.”
“Do what?”
“Pick out your clothes for you every morning.” He had a playful grin on his face.
“Are you sure about that?” I joked back. “What if I promise to do something special for you, every night that you pick out my clothes?”
I could see him picturing this in his mind. He was now looking at me longingly, and I could tell he wanted to take me right then.
“Well, maybe we can work something out.” He leaned in and kissed me lightly on the cheek. “I really do love you, Helena.” He whispered gently in my ear.
The sexual tension melted into butterflies in my heart as I fell into his embrace. I was hoping this feeling would last forever, but when I set foot onto the deck of the ship, the moment was wiped away and replaced with a feeling of fear.
“I know those sails,” I said, as soon as my eyes fell upon the fleet.
Why was this happening to me? As soon as I started to get happy again, those sails had to sail over the horizon. Images of how I once used to wait at my window watching for these sails. Old emotions of how these sails used to bring me feelings of joy. Why is it that every time I was happy, Benjamin had to come into my life and ruin it?!
“Who is it, my lady?” Captain Fox asked curiously.
“It is my ex-fiancé,” I said bitterly. “Come to ruin my life once again.”
As soon as Dimitrius heard who was sailing our way he jumped into action. His voice boomed across the deck, commanding his crew to prepare for combat. He hurried his way to the helm and grabbed the wheel.
“Loosen the sails!” He shouted out.
Almost instantly the sails unfolded as the crew jerked on the ropes. I stumbled my way up the stairs as a large gust of wind caught the main mast.
“How are you planning to do combat with all of those ships?!” I cried out to him.
“This ship is nearly indestructible. The metal plating protects us on the side! This ship is a floating city! It can take down two ships at once.”
“This is no ordinary fleet, Dimitrius. Benjamin’s fleet is the largest fleet in Sun
haven. There is no way you can face it on your own.”
Captain Fox looked at me intensely for a moment, almost with a look that said don’t tell me how to captain my ship. Then, something crossed his mind, and his eyes softened.
“You’re right.” He said. “You know the fleet better than I do. What do you recommend?”
It felt good to know that pride wasn’t an issue with this man. He was intense, a fighter, and passionate as well, but he was also reasonable and kind-hearted. He truly did love her, and now she could accept that with no fear in her heart.
“You are going to need backup, and we are going to need to lead them into close quarters if you have any chance of beating them.”
“I know where we can go,” Benjamin said coming up the stairs.
Apparently, he had been listening close by the entire time.
“Speak, man!” Dimitrius said, intensely. “The more time you waste, the closer they get!”
“We can go to Delharia.”
I looked at Dimitrius to see what his reaction was for this name had no meaning to me.
“Devil’s Isle?!” He immediately spat. “We would be putting ourselves in more danger there than if we faced them head on!”
“Not if we sail in from the South,” Benjamin stated. “We have a good day, and a half head start on them, and our ship is fast.”
“Your ship is definitely fast,” I stated. “I felt it kick off earlier when the mainsail was dropped. If you drop all of them, you may be able to separate the distance to two days.”
Dimitrius was considering this, but still wasn’t fully convinced.
“What do you propose we do once we have made it to Delharia.”
“If we sail in from the south, I have a friend on the island who can help us reach the fort in safety. If we could convince them to use their cannons, we could drop the ship off on the north side of the island and lead those bastards straight into a trap.”
I had to admit, the plan sounded good to me. I wouldn’t mind sinking that cheating bastards fleet.
