Theft and Piracy

[NiccoloBenoit]

Born at sea in the year of the lord 1747, Dirk Steele was the son of Brock Steele, a smuggler and pirate in the Caribbean Sea.

Upon Brock being recalled back to England to attend to business interests and with secret motivations of entering the British Parliament, Captain Dirk Steele assumed command of Brock's pirate fleet and entire Caribbean enterprise.

Captain Dirk ruled from aboard Crown's Bane, the shining flagship of the fleet, a ship that once belonged to a British Duke sent to colonize the island of St. Vincent. Having been successful raided and captured by Brock, this three-decker ship with its 98 guns was the prize of the Steele operation.

Having been born and raised on the sea, Dirk learned to tie knots and raise sails before he was even walking. A natural, his men aspired to be him and would always strive to impress their Captain. As the time went on, some of the crew found their own interests led them out of the Steele's service, but there was no love lost between pirates.

Living the high life, Captain Dirk, Crown's Bane and his fleet of half a dozen ships dropped anchor in the shallowing waters of Tortuga, and made their away ashore to trade, recruit, and in search of information regarding the expected arrival of a shipment of Aztec gold from the mainland. As it would turn out, Dirk and his crew were not the only thieves on the lookout for a quick profit.

Tessa O’Reilly had been born on the ocean. Her mother was a whore that had been bedded and used by the captain of a cargo vessel. She had grown up thinking that the captain, William O’Reilly, was her father, but there was never really any proof. When he had grown tired of her mother, he had deposited her and the baby on Tortuga to make their own fortune.

Tessa had grown into a beauty with long dark hair and bright green eyes. She was shapely and tall, the equal of man men that worked the docks. She had learned quickly that her mother would not care for her so she raised herself. She had learned the art of the hustle and the steal. She would work the men that had come in from the sea, charming them with a warm smile and a flirtatious laugh, stealing them blind before they had known what had happened.

That day, Tessa was watching from the market as a handsome man moved between the stalls, recruiting and trading for what he could get. Her eyes were focused on the bag of gold that hung from his belt. Well, he’s certainly bold, she thought to herself as she moved towards him, her blue gown swirling around her legs and hugging her generous curves as she approached.

“You must be new here in Tortuga.” She said in her light and airy voice, her hand touching his arm as she gave him a flash of her green eyes and a warm smile.

 

[NiccoloBenoit]

“You must be new here in Tortuga.” he heard as he turned and she gave him a flash of her green eyes and a warm smile.

His gaze was instantly drawn to her bubbly bosoms breaching the over the top of her gown. Imagining himself pressed against their softness, he felt a hardness rising in his loins.

"Why yes I'm new today, but an old friend. You see that three-decker anchor'd out to port there? That be me ship," he said with a tone of indifference, "And with her I've parted the wet canals of Tortuga many a time. Funny though, your's is not so familiar."

Looking into her eyes - for the first time - he recognized a hint of mischief, but his raising excitement led him forward, "So what shall it be?"

 

[heartofcourage]

Tessa laughed as he directed her gaze towards the ocean where his ship was docked. It was a handsome ship, she thought, and one that was probably full of riches. Her green gaze turned back towards his as he talked about parting the canals of Tortuga. She grinned at slid her hand suggestively over his chest, tracing the hard muscles of his belly.

“What if I said mine isn’t for the taking without a price?” She asked him, pressing her body against his as she continued to look into his eyes. “What price would you be willing to pay, Captain?”

 

[NiccoloBenoit]

"Pay you?" he laughed and sneered, "With the breech-loader I carry in my britches, it be you who should consider certain ... relinquishment of remuneration."

Grasping her buttocks in his large hard worked hand, he pulled her close and pressed his hardening manhood against her abdomen, "The fee be high to mount my mast ... but we may be able to work something out."

Slyly he winked, and strengthen his grasp on her bottom.

 

[heartofcourage]

Tessa gasped as he pulled her close against him, his hands on her bottom holding her hips firmly against his. She could feel his hardening cock trapped between them and she looked up at him with a shocked expression. Surely he was jesting, she thought, but as she felt him pressed so intimately against her, she was shocked.

Her hand moved across his side to his hip as she started to gently undo the strings that held his purse to his belt. She continued to look at him with a grin.

“Aye, pay me.” She said as she flexed her hips against his. “Not just every man gets a ride on me, Captain. It will cost you.”

 

[NiccoloBenoit]

"Very well, what will it be then?" he asked, feigning not to notice her fingers twisting the knots on one of his bags of gold, "Six pence, a shilling? I ain't payin' a florin for a gash!"

 

[heartofcourage]

“Oh, you will for mine, Captain.” She said with a grin as his purse came loose in her hand and she was quick to push it into the folds of her skirt. “And if you won’t then perhaps I should sell my wears elsewhere.”

She turned then, the purse firmly in her grasp as she moved out of his grip, her hips swinging temptingly as she started to walk away.

 

[NiccoloBenoit]

He watched her swaying down the pier away from the market and smiled to himself. It was a very rare occasion that someone got the best of him, even more rare for it to be a woman. As he considered chasing after her, he shook his head and returned to his business.

As the night fell on Tortuga, Dirk and a couple of his crew made their way to the tavern. Having been at sea for nearly a month, each man was aching for some sexual relief. The whores in Tortuga were not particularly special, most being used beyond their years, but with a few tankards they made lovely bed mates.

Still, Dirk kept remembering his run in with the little thief in the blue gown.

 

[heartofcourage]

Tessa had hit a few more of the men that were fresh off the boats in the harbor. They were easy pickings and she was returning to the tavern with a heavy pocket of gold. She might be able to afford some time off, she thought to herself with a smile as she pushed the door open the smoky tavern and stepped inside, pausing in her tracks when her eyes met the captain that she’d stolen from earlier.

She gulped and started to back towards the door, her eyes unable to look away from his. She needed to run and hide, she thought to herself, but that seemed impossible as he continued to stare straight at her.

 

[NiccoloBenoit]

He watched patiently as she entered the tavern, noticed him and slowly backed away. The sight of her had returned the stirrings in his loins. With a subtle nod of his head, two of his crewmen backed away from their seats at the bar and slinked behind the little thief. One made a gesture as if to grab her in his arms, but a single raised nostril from the Captain and the men backed away. The men blocked the entrance, and the room began to quiet as the onlookers slowly came to the realization of what was happening.

"I believe we have some unfinished business you and I," he jeered from his table across the room. Flicking a finger to beckon her forward, "Come!"

 

[heartofcourage]

Tessa gasped as she backed into two of his crew members, her eyes wide as she spun around and looked at the two men before she turned back towards the Captain as he beckoned her closer. She winced at his command but she soon squared her shoulders and walked towards his table like she were the queen of all Tortuga.

“Yes, Captain?” She asked him, refusing to take a seat as she looked down at him. “Can I be of service to you?” She said nothing else, knowing that if she were to spill her secrets that easily then she might very well hang by morning. He was within his rights to do such. She had a pocket full of gold that had been taken from him. She was a thief, a good one, but one that had just been caught.

 

[NiccoloBenoit]

The crowd listened intently as Captain Dirk Steele stared into the young woman, his eyes narrowed and piercing, a smug grin across his lips.

"It seems I have been a customer in an unfinished bargaining agreement," he said, considering how to best spring his trap, "Now, shall we discuss the full reparations of this matter here, or shall we ..." he reached out and pinched the material of her outer skirt between his thumb and index finger, tugging gently and massaging the fabric in his finger, "finish our business negotiations somewhere more private. Seeing as I've already made payment, I believe it only right that we settle this immediately. Savvy?"

 

[heartofcourage]

Tessa squared her shoulders as the captain smiled smugly and told her that they had unfinished business together. She looked down as he pinched the material of her blue skirt between his fingers, feeling the fabric and tugging on it. She raised an eyebrow as he mentioned making payment that needed to be settled.

“Lead the way, Captain.” She said in a calm voice as she watched him closely as she went through all the options that she had.

 

[NiccoloBenoit]

Standing, Dirk grabbed the thief's wrist and led her towards a staircase leading to the rooms above the tavern. His boots thumped on the wooden stairs as he led the little woman in the blue gown upwards.

The barmaid started calling out something about payment, but before she could finish a man from Captain Steele's crew had settled her discontent. Not that the barmaid found herself any richer, but she was made a little wiser.

Dirk led her into a room and swung her towards the bed, closing the door behind them.

"So little lady, as your skirts are already thick with a pouch of m'gold," he said pressing his chest against hers and letting his arm clutch her lower back, "What service did I exactly ... render?"

His eyes lit up as she seemed reluctant.

 

[heartofcourage]

Tessa gasped as he wrapped his large hand over her wrist, pulling her along behind him as they headed towards the stairs that would lead them to the guest rooms above the tavern. Her heart was racing as she looked over her shoulder at the crew men that were now laughing at their retreating figures.

He threw open the door to the room and swung her past him and towards the bed. She stumbled, her boots scuffling across the room a she stopped herself just before the low bed. She turned to look at him, her eyes narrowing at him as she watched him stalk closer, his words making her shiver.

“No service, sir.” She said as he pressed his chest intimately against her, his arm wrapping around her waist to pull her closer. “Simply a donation towards a worthy cause.”

 

[NiccoloBenoit]

"Cut the crap girly, I ain't no philanthropist," he said placing his hand on her bottom and giving a little squeeze, "Now if I ain't getting nothin' from it, I guess I'll be takin' what I want."

He pushed her down onto the bed and pulled loose his belt. Holding the leather strap menacingly in his hand, he let a toothy grin whip across his face, "Now out of your skivvies!"

He let the belt lash through the air with a SNAP.

 

[heartofcourage]

Tessa stared up at the handsome captain and tried to think through her next options. He seemed to be a man that knew what he wanted and would get it through any means necessary. She gasped as he squeezed her bottom, her hips jerking forward against his and even through the layers of her skirts she could feel his erection growing.

This was serious. He was angry. He wanted only one thing from her. She cried out as she was pushed down on the bed and his belt was pulled loose from around his hips. Her eyes took in the sleek black leather as he held the strap menacingly. Her skivvies. He wanted her nude to do what he wanted.

The snap of his belt made her wince and she moved to pull her pantaloons down her thighs. Her skirt was up around her waist as she pulled at the ribbon that held them around her hips. She waited until he was looking intently at her actions when she brought her knee up sharply to his sensitive flesh, rolling off the bed at the same time.

 

[NiccoloBenoit]

“BBLUUGH!” Captain Dirk stuttered out as her knee crushed into his groin. He closed his eyes, dazed from the hit and his body swung backwards. Scrunching his forehead, he felt the familiar pain eat away at his core. A pit that rose from his balls to his stomach and into his throat, before slowly subsiding and tearing him inside out. Like a sudden bout of sickness or the crushing blow of bad news, she had squashed his manhood. But not his arousal.

He clenched his teeth and forced open his eyes. Trying to push aside the pain, he saw she had rolled off the bed and was now getting to her feet as she tried to flee.

*WHOOOOOOPISH*

The belt whipped out across the doorway, striking her slightly on the arm as she tried to move past. She stopped a moment, as he hopped a step and twisted his body from side to side, still writhing in pain.

“Not so fast little lassie,” he tried to yell but his voice croaked, betraying him and freeing the girl of his unnerving tone, “You walk out that door and I will find you, and I will kill you … or worse - ” he sucked out a gasp, starving for air and relief, "What do you me gonna for -"

Dazed his words trickled out incoherently. He shook his head, waves of agony clutching and releasing his body and mind. Releasing a large belch, his pain subsided some and he focused on the girl.

He sat himself up on the edge of the bed, one hand supporting his body, the other tenderly massaging his swollen balls. His breath was still heavy and desperate, his cold blue eyes fixed on the thief, harsh and piercing.

 

[heartofcourage]

Tessa rolled off the bed with the first cry that he issued. Her skirts were tangled around her hips and she took a moment to right herself before hurrying for the door. The first snap of the belt against her arm had her stumbling and she stopped as his voice croaked to her in the silence of the space. She shivered, looking over her shoulder at the captain that wanted to do her harm and she took a deep breath, watching as he settled on the edge of the bed and tried to take the pain from his aching balls.

“Catch me if you can, Captain.” She said in a soft, challenging voice. Her eyes were full of fire as her lips curled into a smile and she was out the door in an instant. She fled down the stairs, the eyes of his crew turned towards her as she stepped down the last. “Seems your Captain needs time to recover, lads. I gave him a nice, rough tumble.”

She laughed along with them, her pretty smile showing them complete innocence as she edged her way towards the door that lead to freedom.

 

[NiccoloBenoit]

He watched her flee the room and moments later heard the chortles of laughter from the men in the tavern below.

Falling back on the bed, he stared up at the ceiling and resolved to have her followed and captured. They would leave port the next day, and she would be with him.

After a brief rest, he rose to his feet and sauntered down the stairs to the hoots and hollers of the men below. He pulled a crewman aside and began to give the order to have the girl followed, captured, and thrown in the brig.

His mind was still numb from the knee to his soft spot, and he didn't notice anything else in the tavern.

 

[heartofcourage]

Tessa couldn’t believe that she’d made it out the tavern. The captain hadn’t come after her and the men were none the wiser. A huge grin broke over her face as she hurried her way through the streets of Tortuga, oblivious to the fact that there was someone following her.

She made her way home to the little cabin on the outskirts of the city. It was small and tidy, suiting her needs perfectly. She entered the warm little area and sighed, looking around at her meager belongings. It wasn’t much, but it was home. She was moving across the room to her locked chest, intent on putting the gold she had stolen that evening within when the door to her house burst open and she turned to see a large man standing there.

Her eyes were wide as he moved quickly towards her, his arm going around her throat and squeezing tightly. She choked, fighting against the muscular man until she felt the breath leaving her body and not returning. She whimpered, wondering who the man was and remembering only briefly that he had been in the tavern with the captain.

The captain had ordered her death, she thought, as the black dots swam in front of her vision before everything went dark and she fainted in his arms.
