About this audiobook
I never take prisoners who fight back.
But this navigator, with his clipped defiance and haunted eyes, chained himself to my ship the moment salt-crusted ropes bit into his wrists. Surrounded by my crew's leering grins and muscled shadows, he spat curses while they stripped his pride bare. Public. Relentless. His body arching under their hands, shame twisting into something he couldn't name.
I told myself it was conquest. Break the straight-laced bastard, watch him shatter on moonlit decks slick with Caribbean sweat. But every grunt, every shuddering yield amid the lantern's sway, dragged my own ghosts to the surface. Grief I've drowned in rum and raids. He sees it, the crack in my command. Steals breaths in powder-keg shadows, his fingers grazing mine like a plea.
Humiliation was the plan. My crew's rough claims pounding defiance from him, wave after wave, until he's begging in the dim hold. Yet his surrender hooks deeper than any anchor. He fights it, bites back sarcasm even as he spreads for us. For me. Turns enmity into this fevered need, where I command his ruin and crave his trust.
Rival ships circle like sharks. One slip, and his chains become a noose for us both. Freedom dangles on yielding everything, self-respect traded for alliance. But what if his cravings forge something unbreakable? Or drag my tender ache into the light, dooming us both?
A full-length gay pirate humiliation erotic romance featuring a gruff captain and his defiant captive.
