About this audiobook
I rule these treacherous waters, every man jack of them knowing my word is law carved in salt and blood.
But him.
That defiant wretch with rebellion bleeding from his every pore, a shadowed past fueling his reckless sneer at my authority.
He craves the structure he spits on, needs my hand to steady the chaos inside.
I should string him from the yardarm, let the crew see what defiance costs.
Instead, I drag him to my cabin, the ship pitching wild in Caribbean gales, lanterns swinging shadows across his bare, sweat-slicked skin.
My callused palm cracks down, sharp stings blooming red under flickering glow.
He bucks, curses with that raw sarcasm, but his body betrays him, arching into the discipline he denies.
Between strikes, amid creaking timbers and rum-soaked air, confessions spill.
Mine, clumsy and gravelly, vulnerabilities I've buried deeper than sunken gold.
His, ragged admissions of the darkness chasing him, the order he's starved for.
Salt-crusted limbs tangle in my sheets, possession blurring into something perilously tender.
Crew loyalties fracture around us, mutiny's whisper rising like storm clouds.
One wrong yield, and his place among them shatters. My command crumbles. Trust bleeds out on deck.
He fights surrender like it's his last breath.
But what if yielding to me demands I yield first?
This forbidden fire could save us.
Or burn the whole damn ship to ash.
A full-length gay historical pirate spanking erotic romance featuring a commanding captain and his defiant crewman.
