“Be gentle.” I said.
He kissed my lips more gently than ever before and began to push his way in to 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 to 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 in to 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 in to 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 in to 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 in to one being. Once we had regained ourselves he pushed himself up on his elbows so he could look in to 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 to. 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 6
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 cusped 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 myself under the blanket. His cheeks reddened lightly 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 on 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 in to 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 on to 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 in to butterflies in my heart as I fell in to his embrace. I was hoping this feeling would last forever, but when I set foot on to 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 in to 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 in to 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 Sunhaven. 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 d
o 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 in to 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 waist, 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 main sail 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 in to a trap.”
I had to admit, the plan sounded good to me. I wouldn’t mind sinking that cheating bastards fleet.
“What do you think?” Dimitrius asked.
It took me a moment to realize he was asking me. I must admit, I was flattered that he would ask my opinion.
“No matter what, I am not going back with him. I think it is a good plan. It could definitely work. I know Benjamin has extreme tunnel vision when it comes to strategy. That is why he is a merchant and not a war hero, but his ships are strong. The more fire power, the better.”
“Alright… Delharia it is then. I’m warning you now Benjamin… if any of the crew die, it is on you. Remember that.”
“Yes, sir.” He said, trying to hide the fact that this put an extreme amount of pressure on him.
“Tell me about this friend of yours.” Fox said as he took the wheel in his hands.
“It is a long tale. Maybe I will tell you some other time.”
“Drop the main sails!”
The chorus of, “dropping the main sails!” echoed across the deck. As the breeze caught the giant sails, the ship kicked forward. Captain Fox spun the wheel and the ship began to turn sharply as the crew pulled up and down on the rigging. As the sails dropped and folded it allowed the ship to spin sharper than most, using the momentum of the already moving ship to balance itself out. I must admit, it was a very fascinating technique, especially with such a large ship. Within a matter of seconds, the large boat was turned around and sailing toward Delharia.
“I believe we have some time.” Fox said.
Benjamin rolled his eyes. Benjamin told us that Delharia is where he would often times disappear to in order to resupply. He had been stranded there a long time ago, lost in the jungle, fighting daily to survive against the terrifying creatures. The way he explained the noises they made in the night, gave me goosebumps. Once Benjamin had convinced Dimitrius that the man was trust worthy, I noticed him relax a bit. It was interesting to watch how much the safety of his crew meant to him. It melted my heart so much I had to kiss him gently. Unfortunately for us, we never made it to Delharia. We never got to meet Benjamin’s friend and we never got to use their cannons to sink Jonathan’s fleet.
About a day in to the journey a storm popped out of nowhere and through our ship off course. Jonathan had been far enough away that he was able to recalculate, which allowed him to sail directly in to the path of our ship. Within half a day’s time, he and his fleet had caught up to us.
“It was a good plan, Benjamin.” I said to him, noticing the look of disappointment on his face.
“Aye, it could have been.” He watched as the ships approached us.
I walked up beside Dimitrius and wrapped my arms around his waist. I laid my head on his shoulder and watched as Jonathan’s fleet began to surround us.
“Don’t be scared.” Dimitrius said to me. “We will overcome this. Even if we don’t make it out alive, our love will follow us in to the afterlife. Don’t be afraid, my love.”
I couldn’t help but be afraid. I didn’t want to think about the afterlife. I wasn’t ready to die here. Not now! Not after I had found the one I had been hoping for my entire life. I squeezed him harder as a tear fell from my eye.
“I love you.” I said.
“I love you too.” He replied. “Prepare for battle!”
Chapter 7
The air cracked in half as the mortars fired on the approaching ship. Almost as soon as our mortar fire died out the return fire began.
“Keep the sails moving!” Dimitrius cried out as he steered the ship.
The wind gusts were strong due to the dying storm cell, and this allowed Dimitrius’s ship to weave in and out smoothly with the wind. Even though the ship was large, Dimitrius had learned how to handle it. The ship rocked with every cannon ball that struck it. Wood cracked and splintered as mortars penetrated the deck of the ship. Crewmen screamed as their bodies flew over the sides of the ship and in to the ocean below.
“Can you steer this thing?” Dimitrius asked me.
It took a moment to register that he was offering me the wheel, but once I knew he was my heart leapt with excitement. It was already beating so fast due to the adrenaline rush of the battle, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. This was my moment. I nodded my head shyly. Dimitrius grabbed me around my waist and pulled me over to the wheel. Before relinquishing control, he pulled me in close and kissed me. I looked deep in to his eyes as he pulled away, and he looked back in to mine. We both knew this could be the last moment we would see each other alive. No! Neither of us would let that happen. Our love would drive us to survive. After the moment was over Dimitri rushed to the deck of the ship, just as the crew from Jonathan’s first three ships were boarding. The battle ensued. The clanging of metal off of metal echoed around the deck, often times masked by the pursuing boom of cannon fire. The ship rocked, making it hard to control, but she was fast. Most of the time we were ahead of the ships; barely ahead, but even having the slightest advantage was worth it. I could feel the ship move every time cannon fire hit the back. The floor vibrated underneath of my feet as the metal balls bounced off of the metal hull of our ship. I heard men scream and watched blood and body parts fly. Hearing about the stories, could have never prepared me for the carnage that was a sea battle. Jonathan’s men were being slaughtered by Dimitrius’ crew. The men were too uniform to fight the wild, savage pirates. For every one of Dimitrius’ crew that fell, four of Jonathan’s had already been lost. No matter what, I continued to steer the ship. As cannon fire began to pound through the metal of the rear hull, I felt the ship beginning to drag. There was no way we were going to be able to continue this way forever. I could tell the men were tired, and more of Jonathan’s crew was beginning to board by sailing their rowboats up to the side and climbing on to the ship. This would last until the fleet had worn us down. We needed a new course of action. As I was thinking, Dimitrius climbed the stairs and appeared beside me, stabbing an approaching enemy as he did.
“What is happening?”
He was covered in blood, out of breath and barely recognizable.
“Their cannons are beginning to penetrate. The ship is dragging. We won’t last much longer if we continue on.”
Dimitrius looked out over his crew, and I knew he was thinking the same thing. As a new batch of enemies filtered on to the
ship, his men began to look tired. Blood was still flying. Screams were still crying. The giant pirate who had brought me on to this ship was smashing heads and ripping arms, and then all of a sudden he was dead. Two swords stabbed through his abdomen. He turned and decapitated the men before collapsing onto the deck. I watched in horror as his men began to fall, one by one. Even Benjamin. I cried. I couldn’t help it. He had become my friend, my one and only friend on this ship. Dimitrius knew it was over as he watched his men get slaughtered. As they stormed the deck he dropped his weapons and raised his hands in the air. The look on his face was one I had never seen before. It was a mixture of sadness, defeat and shock. He had always been confident that his crew and his ship would last… he had been wrong. I was still holding the wheel, as the ship moved aimlessly forward, when Johnathan’s crew pointed their rifles at me.
“Relinquish control, or die.” The captain of the army said.
I did as I was commanded and stepped away. Dimitri wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me in close, his other hand still in the air to show there was no hostility. Johnathan made his way through as soon as he bumbled his way on to the ship. The way he made it sound, I thought he was an advanced seaman. I could barely contain a laugh as he stumbled his way toward us. He stopped when he saw Dimitrius’ arm around my waist. He then snorted and smiled a condescending smile.
“It is good to see you again, Helena. I have come to rescue you from this… thing.”
“How dare you!” I said, as I lurched forward.
Jonathan recoiled, showing his true bravery. His men aimed their guns at me again.
“Halt!” Jonathan said, while putting a hand up. “Her father would not be pleased with me if we were to fill her with holes. Take him in to custody.”
I tried to plead for my loves freedom, but they wouldn’t listen. They smashed him in the back of the head with a rifle and he collapsed, unconscious, onto the deck of his ship. I moved to kneel down beside him, but Jonathan’s riflemen aimed at me again. I froze where I was, tears streaming down my face. They took Dimitrius into custody and carried him away.
