“Not at all. Everyone thinks I am the perfect gentleman now that I have a title and wealth, but at heart I am still the captain ofThe Rosa Mystica,I am still a pirate, just like Strap and the others. I do not doubt that my guilt was believed, for I have committed far worse deeds than the theft of documents from the desk of an important man. Still, those days are behind me, though the lure of the sea still lingers. Tell me, Samantha, would you come with me? If we sailed away, I mean,” he said, setting down his brandy glass and taking her in his arms.
She smiled at him and nodded, their lips close together, his eyes wide with possibility.
“I would follow wherever you might lead,” she said, and he kissed her, the tensions of the past days now erupting with such passion so as to quite take her breath away.
“I feared I would never hold you again, and I realized just how much I love you, if I had had any reason to doubt it before,” he said, his fingers trailing down her breast, as he kissed her again.
“And that was my fear, too. I thought that fate had cruelly separated us, just as it had brought us together. I would never have forgotten you, but neither would I truly have lived again,” she exclaimed, tears welling up in her eyes at thought of how close she had come to losing him.
“But none of that matters now, we will be together forever, wherever the wind and seas might take us,” he said, and she laughed.
“But first to be alone, just the two of us,” she said, and he nodded.
“Why do you think I dismissed the servants? We are entirely alone, and now we shall enjoy the pleasures so nearly denied us,” he whispered, as his lips went to her neck, his kiss soft and gentle.
Samantha ran her hands over his chest, pulling at the buttons of his shirt, exposing his chest, as he slipped her dress down over her shoulders. She felt a shiver at his touch, delight coursing through her, as his lips now traced their way from her neck to her breasts. The fire crackled in the hearth, the room lit by candles. Their bodies entwined, as his hands slid across her body to seek her further pleasure.
With a gasp, he found her out, and she too ran her hands across his breeches, feeling him stiffening at her touch. There was nothing she wanted more than this moment, a moment she had come so close to losing. He edged himself further toward her, each searching the other out, wanting more, as their passions aroused ever further. Now, Nox brought his tongue to bear, the hot searing delight causing her to gasp.
“This is how I always want it to be,” she whispered, her hands upon his shoulders, willing further pleasure.
He looked up at her with a mischievous grin, and with a deft movement he brought his lips to hers and entered her with such a sudden move she gave a cry, the pain turning immediately to delight. Now, he pulled her to him, their bodies pressed together, the moment of climax rising. Samantha could feel the heat of desire flowing through her, building to a crescendo, as Nox’s rhythm became faster.
She slowed him for a moment, pushing him away, using her own body to slow the pace, delighting in the sensation he gave her, the sensation she herself had control over. Slowly, she brought her hips to bear, arching her back, as his tongue traced a line across her chest, circling her breasts, his hands pulling her to him, as now she bucked back and forth, faster now, the sensation building once again.
It came suddenly now, her whole body shuddering with ecstatic delight at his touch. It came with such intensity that she gave a cry, but he was not yet finished, and even as the feeling subsided in her it rose again, brought on by the rhythm with which he took her, building to new heights, before he too let out a gasp and she felt the flood of his seed, the two of them breathless and exhilarated, their lips pressed together in this act of tender, passionate love.
“I love you, Samantha, I love you with all my heart, and I could not imagine my life without you. So long as I am with you, nothing else can matter,” he whispered, still holding her in his arms, as she smiled up at him.
“And that is all I wish for, too,” she replied, “we came so close to losing that, let us never take it for granted.”
“Never, and wherever the high seas take us, we shall always be together. A lifetime of adventures await us,” he said, kissing her again, as Samantha rested her head upon his chest, knowing that at last she had found the happiness she had always longed for.
The End?
