“We'll just release the horses and drop off the coach out of town. I saw a turnoff not far outside the town.”
They assumed their previous positions and drove the coach back through the town. Once they reached the turnoff, Ethan took the coach off the road and back into some bushes.
“Do you need my help releasing the horses?” asked Roberta.
“No, I'll have it done quickly and we can head back to the ship.”
Roberta had other plans though. She slid into the interior of the coach and quickly removed her breeches. When Ethan came looking for her she was on all fours on the floor of the coach, waggling her bottom at him.
“I don't want to wait any longer. Plunge your cock into me now! Please?” she entreated.
Ethan swung the door shut behind him and hastily knelt, pushing his sword back and out of the way. His breeches slid down as quickly as he could manage it. He plunged his cock through the red bush that surrounded her pussy, finding his target as surely as the tide turns. She was sopping wet, her juices having trickled down the inside of both legs. The scent of her alone, in the enclosed area, was enough that his erection had been at full when he entered her. He immediately set to plunging in and out of her. Within two minutes Roberta was biting her lip to avoid screaming. Even with that, she was still loud enough that if anyone had been right outside of the coach they would have heard her. As she relaxed she began speaking to him, her words soft:
“I'm yours to use this way as long as you like but think. Should you fill me with your cum, we can go back to the ship. Then you can strip me naked in your cabin. You can arrange my naked body on a bed of gold coins and have your way with me at your leisure.”
Ethan grunted and found himself filling her pussy with his cum as he visualized the scenario she described. Oh, how the red of her hair and the golden tones of the coins would highlight one another. The white of her skin would take on a golden hue from light reflecting on the coins and the pink of her nipples would stand out all the more for it. Ethan came as hard as he could remember, despite only fucking her for about five minutes.
Ethan didn't lose his erection when he came. The picture she had painted in his mind was keeping him hard and ready for it to be made a reality. When Roberta noticed she said:
“I see you like my plan for the afternoon. Shall we put it into action?”
They were both dressed again quickly and they began the walk back to the ship. They were unmolested and seemed to go unrecognized as the two that had been driving Master Gutren's coach. When they reached the gangplank the quartermaster was still standing guard.
“Jack, once all the crew have returned we'll be sailing on the next high tide. Are we supplied and did you manage to sell off the cargo?”
“Aye sir, the last of the supplies are due within the hour. The cargo is sold.”
“Good then, I'll be in my cabin with my eunuch Robert. He's to be auxiliary crew for now. He'll eventually have other duties once he's been taught them but for now he's my bed warmer. I have a need for another form of action after the action earlier today.”
Jack tried hard to suppress a smirk, it didn't work well.
“Aye sir.”
“You've a problem with that Jack?”
“No sir, just thinking that you're much younger than the last captain. After a fight all he wanted was a drink and a nap. I think I like it better this way.”
“Glad to hear it Jack. Glad to hear it. Let me know when everyone has returned.”

Chapter 12 – A Bed of Gold
Roberta and Ethan nearly ran to the captain's cabin. Once they were inside and the door was locked and barred, Roberta began stripping all of her clothes off. Ethan went to the chest and slid it over beside the bed.
With repeated glances at Roberta as she stripped, Ethan began spilling handfuls of gold onto the bed, spreading them out to a roughly uniform thickness. Then he turned the lamps up so he could see the coins glinting in the light. Finally Roberta was totally nude, so he picked her up and positioned her in the center of the coins. Then he stood back to admire his handiwork. As he gazed at her on the bed of gold, he began to strip.
Ethan mounted Roberta as she lay upon the bed of gold. He thrust into her in a frenzy. He knew that he wouldn't cum any time soon after just doing so as forcefully as he had, but he didn't care. He'd exhaust himself this way if that's what it took. What was occurring would've been a fantasy of his for years had he only managed to think of it on his own. He was saved from exhaustion though as Roberta commented:
“This gold is awfully hard and uncomfortable. Let me show you.”
Roberta rolled him over while keeping his cock inside of her.
“This is nice; let's try it.” she said when she realized that she was atop him with his cock buried inside of her.
Roberta began to ride Ethan's cock hard, as hard as she could. She was quite fit from her weapons practice, especially in the legs, which were what she needed here. She rode Ethan hard, bringing herself to orgasm several times. He loved the sight of her with her head thrown back, hair dangling loosely, her eyes closed, and her body convulsing around him. After her fourth time cumming she asked him:
“Are you going to cum for me?”
“Not anytime soon from what you're doing. It's delightful, incredible even. But you were right, the gold is very uncomfortable and that keeps distracting me.”
“Well, let's see if I can distract you from your discomfort.”
Roberta rose up off of his cock, reached down and moved it. Then she attempted to lower herself down with his cock in her ass. After several fumbled attempts she finally managed it. She let herself drop, wincing in the process but watching Ethan's face throughout. She got the reaction she had hoped for and proceeded to lift herself almost off of his cock then drop her weight until he was fully in her. She did it over and over. It was all over for Ethan within a couple of minutes after she started that tactic. Once again she felt his cock twitching and spitting inside of her, this time filling her ass with his cum.
Roberta's face went dreamy and she just leaned forward, lying on Ethan's chest. As his cock grew soft it eventually slid out from inside of her. They lay like that for a time until Roberta began to move again. She slid off of him and off of the bed. He joined her and they swept armfuls of gold back into the chest.
“Should we count it?” asked Roberta.
“One-legged Jack will do that, it's the quartermaster's job. I'm surprised he didn't complain when I told the men to put the chest in the cabin instead of down below. I think he just considered it more secure here.”
“Oh...” Roberta looked disappointed.
“They'll be plenty of gold to count later. You'll get a share on anything from the estate, I'll make sure of that. Then we'll have my share also. As captain I get a much larger share than anyone else on the ship. If you want to count gold, we can wait and count our own gold.”
“Our?”
“If you're my woman, then it will be our gold, won't it?”
“I wasn't sure. That means different things to different people.”
Ethan was staring at the chest of coins and spoke without thinking:
“Well, I'd love to make you my wife instead of my woman but I don't think you'd want that.”
“Yes, yes I would Ethan.”
Ethan realized what he had said.
“You would? I thought you'd be soured on the idea of marriage from Mater Gutren.”
“No, just soured on the idea of someone else choosing who I marry. If you were serious, I'd be your wife in a heartbeat.”
“Yes, I am serious. I would've asked you a bit more romantically but that kind of slipped out when my mind was elsewhere.” he said, gesturing to the chest of coins.
“More romantically than asking me over a chest of gold, that we obtained together by force of arms, where you treated me as an equal, and simply expected that I would be victorious over my opponent? Unless we have different ideas of r
omance, that seems quite romantic to me.”
“I hadn't thought if it that way, nor realized that you would find it romantic. I don't think that most women would.”
“But Ethan, I am not most women, I am your woman.”
“For which I shall thank fate each and every day we have together.”
A knock came at the door, interrupting their conversation. Ethan tossed his breeches on and got up to answer it. Jack was on the other side of the door. Roberta tucked herself beneath the blanket, shifting about so that she could hear better.
“The men are all back sir. High tide is in about three hours and we got the last of the supplies delivered.”
“Good, we'll be out in a short while. When you're ready to start counting shares we'll move the chest to your cabin. Until then we'll keep it locked up here. Robert was an inside man on this job, he's to get a double share on everything from the estate. We never would've even known about the gold without him.”
“Aye, sir. May I comment sir?”
“Go ahead.”
“Robert sir? Your subterfuge is not going to go far. I can smell that he's a she and she's managed to flash her rather lovely breasts at me twice while I've been standing here.”
Roberta flushed with embarrassment as Ethan turned around and saw her straight in the line of sight from the door.
“Damn it man, I can't let the crew know. You know how they feel about women on board a ship.”
“I think, sir, that if you let them know that the shares of loot they are about to get are only because of her that their opinion might rapidly change. This is going to be huge captain. Never mind the chest of gold, what the men brought back in their hands alone will exceed the total value of one of our ship raids. It's about three times what we took on that last ship.”
“Are you sure Jack? I won't risk her and the men will have to understand that she is mine and mine alone.”
“I'm sure, cap'n. They'll be able to buy themselves a hundred wenches each and still have enough left over to get them all drunk on the shares we'll have here. We're liable to lose a few that decide they have enough to go settle down on their own though.”
“We'll try it your way. I hope you're right because if they give her a hard time, they'll find out she's more skilled than I am with a sword. You might spread it around that she is Geoff Cantas' sister and that he trained her for several years. That might limit any problems.”
“Is she truly?”
“Yes she is. As a matter of fact, our next stop is going to be to contact Geoff. He's broken with his family except for his sister. We're going to see if he is interested in providing information on the elder Cantas' shipments. Since they're in financial trouble the shipments won't be well-guarded, and they'll be easy hauls for us.”
“Sir, aye sir. I'll tell the men what you said and tell them she'll be bringing us more money still in the the months to come. They'll be okay with that, I'm sure. If not, well we can always work out a better disguise for her and replace the parts of the crew that object.”
One-Legged Jack left and Ethan sat down with a map and some navigating tools to plot a course for the port Geoff would be setting up his business. As he sat there he muttered quietly to himself. Roberta thought she heard something like:
“I wonder if he'll remember me. I certainly remember him.”
She wasn't positive those were the words he spoke since she was slowly drifting off to sleep. It had been an incredibly exciting day for her and her mood had been all over the place, causing her to rapidly succumb to exhaustion.
When Roberta awoke, the ship was back to the gentle sway it had when underway. She got out of bed and, as suspected, didn't see Ethan in the cabin. She wasn't sure if she should go out in disguise or if she should just put the clothes on without the cap and without binding her breasts. From what she had seen of the rest of the ship she was already in the most comfortable portion of it so she just settled in to wait.
When Ethan finally arrived she had dozed off briefly twice more. Evidently she wasn't as well-rested as she had thought when she got up from her nap. Possibly it was the ship getting underway that had woken her but when the door opened, she snapped out of her second brief nap.
“Well, we're underway. Three days or so, assuming fair weather, and you'll be able to see your brother again.”
“That's wonderful, thank you. I'm wondering something else though. I fell asleep and I fear that I may have dreamed some things I seem to remember as being real.”
“Which? That you agreed to marry me or that you won't need to disguise yourself aboard the ship?”
“Both. I'm so happy that neither was a dream.”
“Well, you won't need to bind your breasts but I would still recommend the cap. It will protect your skin a little and you'll need that if you spend much time on deck.”
“Alright, if you say so I'll take your word for it. I need to ask you something else though and don't know how to go about it.”
“Just go ahead and ask.”
“Well, when do you want to get married?”
“I was hoping that we could get Geoff's blessing and that he could attend. Assuming, of course, that you are ready and still willing to marry me between four days and a week from now.”
“I hadn't even thought about that. Geoff can attend; I'm sure he'll give his blessing when he knows it's exactly what I want. He was furious with father for selling me off.”
“Actually, your father auctioned you off. There was correspondence in the bottom of the chest. Your father had sent out lockets to several different men, and evidently the bidding was intense; that's why the final bid was five thousand gold escudos.”
“He must have started that back when I was still sixteen if there were that many bids.” Roberta said, looking at the sheaf of papers Ethan had produced.
“Not only that, he started the bids at a mere five hundred gold escudos as well, the fool. Any male with eyes can see that you are worth far more than that.”
Ethan grinned to take the sting out of his jibe knowing that she was still rather touchy about being auctioned off.
“Personally I believe that there isn't enough gold in the entire Caribbean to equal your worth. But I may be slightly biased.”
“Flatterer!” she accused.
“By no means, I'm simply speaking my mind. I'd not part with you for anything but your word that you wanted me gone. Nothing else could cause me to do so.”
The next three days passed in a blur for the two of them. They spent their time in the cabin and on the deck. They continued to attempt to sate one another to no avail. In those times when they were not engaged in sex, since even they couldn't go at it continually, Ethan began to teach Roberta those ship duties that she'd be able to handle.
They discovered that with her light weight and nimbleness that she was a natural in the rigging. It was decided that her regular duty would be the crow's nest. Her eyesight was sharp and she was the lightest member of the crew. The two combined made her a natural for it as well as allowing the rest of the crew to not be forced to continually be seeing a woman when they had none of their own.
The night before they were to make port, the quartermaster called the crew together to divvy up the shares from the cargo of the ship Roberta had originally been on, of which she got none, and the coins from the chest, of which she got two hundred and ten escudos. Each of the crew got over a hundred themselves while Ethan received six hundred escudos.
The other officers received varying amounts, more than Roberta, but less than Ethan. None of the crew were complaining, certainly not after they were reminded that once the rest of the loot from the estate was sold they would be receiving more. Possibly as much as another one fourth of their share from the chest.
The crew was informed that they would be receiving a full shore leave in the port they would arrive at the next day. The ship would receive some refitting and maintenance. Then they would be setting sail again two weeks after they arrived if
all went as planned.

Chapter 13 – Reunited With Geoff
Roberta waited, impatiently, for the crew to depart the ship. Ethan insisted that he see them off, sounding them out about having a woman on board as they left. Once the crew was off, she and Ethan would depart and try to find Geoff.
Ethan was rather happy when he and Roberta were leaving the ship.
“So, what has you grinning from ear to ear?”
“The crew has decided that you are a guardian angel and good luck for the ship as opposed to the normal thought of a woman on a ship being bad luck.”
“Me, an angel?”
“I didn't disabuse them of the notion. But it appears that there will be no problems with you staying out of disguise.”
“Well, I'm glad that they can accept me, even if they have to credit a supernatural talent to me in order to do so. Where shall we start to look for Geoff? I doubt he'd have a building here yet, although he and Madeline should have arrived already.”
“Well, was he getting into his own branch of the family business? Should we look for prospective shipping offices that he might be wanting to rent or purchase?”
“He said that he'd be doing that and probably tutoring in swordsmanship until the shipping business took hold.”
“Well then, we shall ask about as to whether there is recently arrived tutor in swordsmanship that is better than average. If he's put the word out that he is looking for pupils we should find him in a day or two.”
Ethan and Roberta took a room at an inn. This one was much better than the one they had found themselves in when pursuing Master Gutren. The bed was actually more comfortable than the one in the captain's cabin and the food was truly good, not just better than ship food.
