Steady as she goes (closed)

[KieranSoares]

"That was amazing... what else for?" Luca chuckled softly. It seemed he'd tamed the lioness, at least for now. "I've never experienced anything like that... or anyone like you..." Luca gladly laid her head on his chest, the fingers of one hand tracing the ridges of his muscles fondly. "... I'm glad you followed me..."

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

“I will admit to getting that advice from your wheel man” Angel said stroking her hair playing with it as he gazed at her in open adoration “I was going to follow you any ways but he suggested that you needed it” he explained watching as the waves licked the bottom of the ship. He debated about telling her some thing intimate that may change there relationship, some thing that happened when eh was about to die.

“Before when the sword was pointed at my throat and I thought I was about to die” Angel said deciding to take the leap “you were the last thing I thought of and our night together”

 

[KieranSoares]

At the admission of his thoughts, Luca paused and lifted her head to meet his eyes, expecting to see that he was lying just to get a rise out of her. But when Luca saw the honesty in his expression, she kissed adoringly at his neck, muttering: "You foolish man... you should've been thinking about yourself, not me..."

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

Angel groaned before looking back into her eyes and smiling, his hands tracing light small circles with his nails as he gazed at her adoringly.

“Why would I think about my self?” he quipped grinning at her “I was about to die a horrible death” he reminded her planting a kiss on her forehead “why wouldn’t I think about the best night of my life instead?

 

[KieranSoares]

"You damn... man." Luca couldn't come up with a better word than that, and she kissed him again like she needed him. But still trying to be tough, she muttered, "This doesn't change anything, you know..." But she laid her head back down on his chest, seeking his comfort and warmth needfully.

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

“I’m sure it doesn’t me captain” Angel said chuckling softly and wrapping his arms around her body. He backed in her comfort and smiled as the waves gently rocked them both. He didn’t know what tomorrow held for him but he could already tell that the captain has stolen some thing form him some thing far more precious than her treasure.

His heart

Once again it was the waves that woke him up the gentle rocking of the ship still being some thing he was not used to, he looked at the sun peeking over the waves and then turned looking over at the captain and kissing her forehead tenderly. He decided to stay in bed waiting until she woke up to get up and move bringing her closer to his chest.

 

[KieranSoares]

It was about twenty minutes before Luca awoke. As her eyes opened and she found herself in his arms, she couldn't help a soft smile, kissing his toned chest. "Morning, Angel..." She spoke softly, her tone deep from sleep. Sitting up, she ended up straddling his waist, the blanket sliding from her tanned skin. She looked down upon him with adoration and satisfaction as the morning light lit him up.

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

“Good morning Luca” Angel said smiling at her and giving a soft grunt of pleasure as she moved on top of his body and straddled him. The sunlight that lit him up also lit her up making her tan skin sparkle like jewels, Angel put two hands on her hips privately wondering what he could have done to be so blessed but not daring to say it out loud, the dynamics of what was meant to be their relationship had changed and though he was curious he did not want to push it.

“What do I owe the pleasure?” Angel asked rubbing slow circles with his thumb “of getting such a Siren on top of me” he joked

 

[KieranSoares]

"Good behavior," she smirked and leaned down to kiss warmly at his throat, her breasts pressing to his hard chest while her hands laid against his shoulders. "Now come on, there's work to be done if we're going to reach Spain in due time." She reluctantly rose from the bed and went to a trunk where she kept her clothes.

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

“Ay captain” he said watching her rise and dress momentarily becoming lost in her beauty, he shook his head and got up realizing time was rapidly approaching for them to go to work and be apart. He didn’t want to sound needy but at the same time it sucked that they had to pretend nothing was happening while they moved about the ship.

It wasn’t like he wanted to sweep her off her feet and kiss her in front of the whole crew (though it would cause some jeers) he just wanted to…. Be close to her preferably instead of apart.

“I guess I will see you tonight Luca?” He asked pulling his shirt over his head and coming up behind her to tie her dress in the back.

 

[KieranSoares]

((She doesn't wear dresses XDD))

"No," she turned and gave him a smile, "I think I'd like to teach you something else today. You see... I need a new first mate, and I trust you enough to train you for that position." She pulled him close by his collar and kissed him... Almost lovingly.

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

(I meant some thing that would require me to help you lol)

“Are you sure?” Angel asked a little surprise watching her and kissing her back. First mate? Why him? There must be some one else who would be better for the position some one more experienced. What did this mean for their relationship.

“There must be some one more experienced for the position” Angel said smiling softly stroking her hair as he looked into her eyes.

 

[KieranSoares]

"There are plenty of more experienced sailors," she turned toward him. "But none of them are Angel Tiberius. I trust you, Angel, and I want to keep you close. That's why I want you to take the position." She stretched up on her toes to kiss his lips. It was a softer and warmer than the previous morning's lustful kiss, but this one meant more.

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

“It would be my honor captain” Angel said kissing her back and holding her close to his body, he to felt that need to keep her close and safe and nothing would make him happier than to be her first mate. He didn’t want her to have just given him the position based on her wanting to keep him close though and he vowed ot himself that he would work hard to be worthy of the position.

“I accept Captain” he said

 

[KieranSoares]

"Good... because I'm not sure I wanted to give you a choice." Her next kiss was a little hotter than the first, but she left it at that. "Come on, then, breakfast then work. No time for pleasure while the sun's up." Luca let her hand linger in his until they left her room. Breakfast was short and sweet, and Luca soon had him at the wheel. As first mate, he would act as a captain in her stead when she could not. She told him about everything on board that had to be kept up constantly, especially the repairs, the position of the sails, and constant communication with whoever's job it was that day to keep a weather eye out on the horizon. Said people were always one of two twin brothers. While one was asleep, the other kept watch, twelve hours each.

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

He took in her instructions trying to learn as much as he could as rapidly as possible, being a first mate was difficult for even a veteran sailor much less one who was wet behind the ears to about sailing. Even with that he still impressed her gaining as much knowledge in so little time, he strived to impress her as much as possible learning asking questions and excelling in every task she set forward to him, he took to her training with an excitement and energy that she rarely saw on ships and soon her was expertly driving the ship and exercising with the sails and the new recruits.

 

[KieranSoares]

By midafternoon, Luca had left the wheel to her lover and took to helping the crew with repairing small holes in the sail from the previous day. Repairing tiny bulletholes now would stop the canvas from ripping itself in the wind. She was hanging in the rigging, her legs tangled in between loops, expertly sewing a canvas patch onto the mainsail. She was incredibly high up, but she looked completely at home.

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

Angel looked up seeing his lover working and smiling, if this was how life on the sea would be like then he was more than happy with it. He turned the wheel and made some adjustments keeping on her course to Spain and wondering to him self what he would be doing there. Since he was first mate now he would need to get caught up but he was sure Luca would fill him in tonight-in bed.

Mr. Blight drew him out of his inner thoughts coming up to him and pointing out to the sea. He turned and swore to himself seeing a few British ships sailing by. Luca was to far up for him to ask what to do so he made preparations to turn before some thing interesting caught his eye.

They were moving slow and sluggish, almost as if they had been wounded. They were close to Spanish territory but were they the outcome of a recent battle? It could be a ruse to draw them in but if not then there were three ships right there filled with cargo that could easily be taken out by their one.

He turned quickly causing Mr. Blight to stumble as he moved to intercept the ship.

“What in the Blazes are you doing!” Mr. Blight snapped looking at him with wide eyes.

 

[KieranSoares]

Luca held tight in the rigging, looking down, "Blight! What's going on!?"

"He's intercepting the British ships!" Blight called up to her.

Luca's eyes immediately searched out the ships and as they drew closer, she could see charring and smoke on the ships. "Put up a British flag and a white one with it!" Blight rushed to her command as she climbed down, and she came to Angel's side, "Well-spotted... they're on the verge of sinking, they're perfect targets."

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

“I thought so” angel replied sliding the ship into a perfect firing position as the flags were raised, the British sailors turning smiling and waving at them in relief. Thinking the ship was coming to help them or perhaps supply some repairs.

“Flags raised captain” Mr. Blight said nodding at both of them “sailors are awaiting your word”

“Shall I open fire captain?” he asked turning to her and grinning, he looked handsome and confident not at all nervous or worried.

 

[KieranSoares]

"One warning shot across the bow!" Luca called down, and one cannon exploded, sending the British sailors scurrying for cover.

"Hold fire!" The captain of the other ship cried. "We're allies!"

"Like hell you are!" And with that, Blight raised Luca's banner, which was entirely black except for a slender red fox image splayed across it. Immediately, the English sailors looked petrified. "We'll gladly relieve you of your goods and weaponry, Captain!"

"Take what you want, just let us make it home to England!"

"You have a deal, we'll even supply you."

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

“I best go help them carry the goods” Angel said surprising Luca, her other captain had thought himself above such petty work. Angel jumped down and began getting the goods off the ship egging the other sailors on and getting it done quickly. The supplies exchanged hands and seconds later the ships were pulling away limping back to the British as fast as possible.

Angel stepped back onto the deck going over to Luca with his shirt off and his torso sweaty “supplies all loaded captain” he said to her as he watched her at the wheel.

 

[KieranSoares]

"Well done," Luca smirked, and when no one was looking, she stole a quick kiss and gave him back the wheel. "You have good instinct... better than I expected for just having learned. You're just full of surprises."

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

“Tonight I’ll have to show you even more” angel said teasing her and giving his most roguish smile. He went back to driving and nothing more eventful happened, the waves were calm and the wind was fair and they glided swiftly through the water crashing through the waves like they were nothing and mastering the ocean.

 

[KieranSoares]

Luca remained close at Angel's side for the remainder of the day, and in the evening, she passed the wheel to another man. She was soon sitting with Angel in her Quarters, looking over a map of the Atlantic and her bordering countries. She was looking over their current course, and knew they'd be in Spanish waters by morning. "Ever been anywhere ourside of Jamaica, Angel?"
