Captain Martin checked his surroundings as he approached me. When he got close—too close for a regular gentleman’s chat—he leaned in to my ear.

“The usual one.”

I couldn’t help the laugh that escaped me, and the smug look on Captain Martin’s face was my reward.

“Oh, I see.” I folded my arms across my chest and leaned against the rail. “And I’m supposed to simply jump, whenever you come to me asking for help with this?”

The captain said nothing, simply gazed at me with lust and longing. He shrugged.

I rolled my eyes. “Fine. Come along. I’ll have you sorted in a moment.”

“A moment!” he exclaimed, true shock on his handsome face. “I should hope it’ll take longer than that.”

I smirked. “If you’re lucky.”

Back in the captain’s cabin, I took charge. Captain Martin observed me with amusement as I prepared the bed and bade him stand still whilst I took my time removing his lovely vestments.

“You know, my sweet red rooster, watching you fuck Domingo was a treat. I think on that evening often.”

I grinned at him. “Do you?”

“I do. And you?”

I sighed. “Aye. But, to be honest, I only enjoyed our romp becauseyouwere there. I don’t know if I’d have liked such an encounter as much otherwise.”

“That’s just as well,” Captain Martin said.

“Is it?”

“Aye. Because I don’t want you in another man’s arms unless I’m involved somehow. Does that make me a terrible person?”

“Not at all. As I feel the same about you.”

“Well, then.”

“Well, then.”

I folded his jacket neatly and put the garment on the chair. Then I stood before him and took my time unbuttoning his shirt.

“How are your hands?” Dinesh asked, gazing down at them.

When I’d removed the linen bandages, my palms had looked completely normal, which I had anticipated, as the same thing had happened previously. I showed him.

He took my wrist in his fingers and brought my palm towards him to examine the surface. Then he pressed his lips to the skin briefly and released me. He did the same to the other one.

I’d not known a kiss in that particular place could go straight to my cock, but it shot through me like lightning. I gasped and smiled. I went back to my unbuttoning. When I pulled the tails of his shirt out of his breeches, his hands wandered around my waist and went to cup my behind.

“No, no. Hands off. Let me do this. It’s like Christmas morning.”

He laughed. “Fine.”

“Once you’re naked you can take over. All right?”

“All right. Meanwhile, I shall contemplate all the horrible things I’m going to do to you.”

“I’m sure they will be shocking and terrible.”

“Most surely. You will be wracked with agony.”
