CHAPTER 11

Turning over in his bed Nash let his arm slip out to the side of him. If there was one thing that he had learned to do early on this infernal tub it was to turn over very gingerly. His first attempts had all lead to him falling out of bed in a quite spectacular fashion. Luckily no one had been around ever to witness these most embarrassing moments. After all how could he be a captain and commander of men when he was flailing around like a landed fish? And this time since he had company he was determined to be even more careful than ever. Not because of any gentlemanly like conduct on his part. No, it had more to do with the fact that he didn’t want to wake her.

Then he grinned. That was just an out and out lie wasn’t it? Of course he wanted to wake her. He could think of any number of delicious ways that it could be achieved. All of them ended up with him getting what he wanted. Still he definitely wasn’t in the mood for making conversation. He never had been someone who could just wake up and be polite. He took his time coming back from the land of sleep and that was just how he liked it. Some of his best ideas had come from that strange few minutes that he spent between asleep and awake. Of course his waking moodiness could have had something to do with the fact that they kept such odd hours here on the ship. He could be asleep at night or in the middle of the day at any given time. You just had to snatch some time to rest whenever it presented itself.

It wasn’t until his hand had patted empty space several times that he was finally awake enough to realise something. His eyes popped open and immediately he found himself confronted with the empty side of the bed. Well calling it a ‘side’ was perhaps an exaggeration. It was more like a sliver of mattress that he had expected her to get comfortable on. Still though he had known that she would be. And he had also known that the danger of her falling to the floor by his much larger frame was minimal considering that he had had his arm wrapped around her tightly. He let out a small growl. Obviously not tight enough if she had been able to slip his grasp without him knowing.

“Little witch!” He spat out in a relatively quiet tone but the bile was evident in his words. Then he smirked. What on earth was he getting so worked up about? It looked like he might be forgetting just where they were. There was nowhere for her to run here. She could perhaps be hiding but that wouldn’t come to much either considering that he knew every inch of his ship like he knew the back of his hand. “Surely she must know that.” He muttered as he pulled on his pants quickly and threw his coat over his bare upper body. He knew that he could have dressed but what was the point? After he found her again then he knew that they were just going to come right back here. He had issues to address with her and he was sure that he would be able to do it in a way that he would find most enjoyable.

And that was when something else occurred to him. He could remember the look on her face from earlier in the day. How firmly her jaw had been set. How determined she had been to make everything go the way that she wanted it to go. He had made sure that he put a crimp in those plans but still. Closing his eyes he was sure that he could remember everything that she had said to him. The worst thoughts began to swim through his mind and he hurried for the door. Surely she wouldn’t have done that. Surely she realised that doing something like that was a death sentence.

“That would be why she did it man.” He hissed to himself as he yanked his door open so sharply that he was sure that it might just have come off its hinges in his hand.

As Mary curled her fingers into his hair she found herself questioning her own movements. What on earth was she doing? Shouldn’t she be completely disgusted and appalled right now? She knew that she should be pushing him away but no matter how much she tried to tell herself that it was something that she had found she just couldn’t do no matter what. Her fingers threaded through what had once been his neatly tied back hair but was now all over the place. Her eyes widened as she felt a particularly pleasurable sensation slice through her and she tightened her grasp unbidden. “W-what are you doing?” She gasped out once more even though she also wanted to instruct him not to stop.

Pressing her hips down onto the floor where he had finally dragged her after her knees gave out one too many times Shawn lifted his head. He grinned not able to help it. Her eyes were closed but that was something that he had been expecting. The unsubtle movements of her body, the way that she lifted her pelvis in an attempt to grind it against his face, they all added up to someone who was enjoying what he was doing. Yes, he was aware that her movements were in all probability ones that she wasn’t even conscious of making but still it made him pleased that he was able to bring her to this. “Quiet.” He hissed against her as he lowered his head to his task once more.

Her body jerked towards him again as he picked up right from where he left off. Not that she had really taken any heed of that fact. All that she knew was that he was doing it to her again ... and she was glad. That was something that she never thought she would admit to anyone let alone herself but there was no denying what he was able to do to her body. Still she could feel her cheeks glowing red just thinking about what he was doing to her. She had no idea that men did this ... she had certainly never experienced it herself. It was something that would never have occurred to her at all.

“Please!” She hissed out in a begging tone even as she felt another shard of pleasure shoot through her. This time instead of moving his mouth over her folds he seemed to be concentrating all of his attention on a tiny part of her. And she loved it. She let her legs drop open even further but didn’t realise that she had done that. It was just another unconscious movement of her body. “Please.” She repeated but didn’t even know what she was begging him for. All she was sure of was that something was eluding her and she wanted it. She wanted it more than she may have wanted anything in her life.

Flicking at her the hidden bud between her legs with his tongue repeatedly Shawn couldn’t deny how good hearing her beg him for something felt. Just a little while ago she had been so haughty, treating him as if she was better than he could ever be. Now he had her lowered to his level ... or perhaps even lower. He knew that he had gotten what he wanted. Pulling back he sat on his knees and continued to look down at her. For a few moments it didn’t even appear that she had even noticed he was gone.

Mary’s eyes popped open as it hit her that he had stopped whatever he had been doing. The cool air now flowed over that part of her between her legs. When she saw the way that she was laying she wasn’t surprised that she could feel so much of the cool air. She was lying open for anyone to see her. The blush that she was sure started somewhere at her feet worked it’s way slowly up her chest, neck and over her face. And that was when she saw him. He was still sitting there between her legs but he was now smirking and looking her in the eye.

“Didn’t take you long to change your tune now did it young Mary.” He pointed out.

The moment that she heard his words her eyes flashed with anger. “Get out of my way!” She spat at him as she attempted to bring her legs together. Then she had every intention of dressing fully and getting out of here just as quickly as she could. Now she was starting to feel dismay that she hadn’t thrown herself over the side of the ship when she had the chance. If only that other one ... what was his name again ... John, if only he hadn’t found her.

Reacting to her anger quickly Shawn placed his hands on her knees and held them right where they were. He had no intention of letting her leave just now. “No need to lose your temper sweet lady.” He said as he licked at his lips as if he were underlining what he had just said to her. “I was merely pointing out what you already knew.”

“Please let me...” She started and the moment that she did she saw something flare to life in his eyes. Her words trailed off.

His nostrils flaring slightly Shawn knew that he was smiling again. “I do so adore it when you beg me for anything Mary.” He said and then lowered his head back between her legs. “I would place a wager that when you do that ... that well ... it’s impossible for any man to deny you.” Before he placed his mouth on her again he lifted his hand towards her. His finger slipped into her easily but he could still feel her tightness clutching at the digit.

She let out another squeal and this time it was much louder than the last. “I hate you!” She added as she threw her head back the moment that she felt the heat of his mouth cover her once more and his tongue press against her heated flesh.

His eyes flicking from side to side Kevin took in everything around him even though it was so dark. He could see it all just perfectly, at least for his purposes. The only people he had come across so far were his crew. He hadn’t taken the time to stop and talk. He just wasn’t in the mood to listen to them and their whining. Whenever a night like this came along invariably all of the men would come up with a problem or two.

Striding to the side of the deck he held firmly to the side and looked over. The moment that he did so he knew what he would find. A whole lot of nothing. Who could know when she had done this? She may have waited in the shadows till there was no one around and then tossed herself over without a by or leave. It could have happened any length of time ago too. All he could see down there was darkness save for the occasional spray of foam where the ship cut through the waves. Still he could hear the waves much better than he could see them right now.

“I hope that you aren’t thinking of ending it all captain.”

Recognising the voice Kevin turned and arched a brow at the younger man who had just spoken. “And I’m very sure that you have much more work to do than just smart mouth me John.” He stated and made to turn his back on the man who had just broken into his thoughts.

“Looks like you and that woman are more alike than anyone could have imagined.” John added pulling a face as he realised that he had already been dismissed if the way that his captain had turned his back was anything to go by.

When those words penetrated the fog that he had going on right now Kevin spun back around quickly and caught the younger man’s arm when he was leaving. “What?” He asked sharply. “Explain yourself now boy.”

“Nothing.” John said quickly not sure what he had done to raise the older man’s anger. Still he knew that it was smart not to anger this man. He wasn’t the most feared man out here on the sea for nothing. “I just found her in pretty much the same spot earlier.” He added as honestly as he could.

Smiling tightly Kevin just nodded. “You did? Then where is she now?” He asked quickly. “Take me to her.” He really couldn’t imagine John just letting Mary tip herself over the side.

“What?” John asked and frowned. “Isn’t she in your cabin?” He asked and then shook his head realising that if Nash didn’t know where she was that it was unlikely that the woman in question was in there. “I was taking her back there when Shawn appeared. He took her from me. I assumed that he was bringing her straight back to you.”

Shaking his head Kevin found himself smiling even though there was an undeniable thread of anger shooting through him. He had a pretty good idea just what Shawn had found to occupy both himself and Mary till now. He let go of the younger man’s arm slowly. “Thank you John.” He said with a tight nod. “You can go now.” He instructed and watched as John ambled away. Then turning he began to head towards Shawn’s cabin. He didn’t notice the way that John turned to watch him leave. If he had done then he would have seen the strange expression on the younger man’s face.

Hearing the loud almost guttural noises that she made as her pleasure obviously spilled through her Shawn resisted the urge to throw himself on her and cover her lips with his. It would no doubt disgust her after what he had just been doing. Still he couldn’t stop the tight growl that managed to escape from the back of his throat. He could feel the way that her internal muscles were clutching spasmodically at his fingers and he wanted nothing more than to just replace them with something else. But for some reason he held back. Unusually it had become very important to him that she find all the pleasure that was possible before he started to focus on himself.

That was what had started all of this after all. If she hadn't opened her mouth about how he had never brought pleasure to any woman then he doubted that this would have happened at all. He had never been that much of a blowhard. He had never felt the need to boast about any of his deeds. Which was probably a good thing considering most of his deeds would be considered criminal. But he had never even been a boastful man when it came to his women. A man who was sure of himself in that respect never felt the need to advertise about his abilities. The women that swarmed around him whenever he appeared at one of their regular haunts were enough to show that he knew what he was doing when it came to the fairer sex.

This one however, well she had gotten to him. She had taken those simple words and the way that she thrown them in his face as if she was so much better than he was ... that had been his undoing. Now he could understand just why Nash had been making all of those noises earlier in the day. She was definitely enjoyable. “Still hate me?” He asked not able to stop himself.

“Y-Yes!” Mary said and then bit at her lip as it hit her that she had just said that far too loud. “I hate everything about you!”

He laughed and pulled his fingers from her moist and willing body. He lifted them to his lips and made sure that she could see him licking them clean. “Mary my sweet, I wouldn’t have it any other way.” He said through his laughter. Then just before he could lever his body over hers the door opened. He was about to yell out that knocking was still acceptable and a traditionally accepted standard when the person who had just walked in spoke.

“Yes, her hatred might just be the most delicious thing about her.” Kevin said sardonically as he leaned in the doorway briefly to look at what lay before him. Then taking a step inside he closed the door behind him quietly.
