Chapter 11: Royal Pain

"Please?"

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"No."

"Pretty please with..."

"With what?"

"How 'bout a kiss on top?" Selene pleaded, clasping her hands together as if in prayer, and turning her eyes to capture his.

Adrian sighed.

"They were pulling into Tortuga (yes it was a real pirate port!), and Adrian had told her to stay behind so she would be safe.

And Selene, being the stubborn woman she was, insisted she was just as tough as any man.

Adrian winced, rubbing at his hurt arm. He knew just how tough she was from experience.

"You know," he murmured, jerking her into his arms. "I am a pirate. I could just steal a kiss,"

Selene smiled, and to his surprise wrapped her arms around his neck. She brought her lips within inches of his, and then whispered,

"Will it get me what I want?"

"It might," he said, before he crushed his lips to hers.

"A strangled moan escaped Selene's throat as Adrian's tongue sought entrance to her mouth. Adrian echoed her moan when she allowed that entrance. They sipped at each other sweetly before using their mouths together once again.

Selene plunged her fingers into his hair to hold him to her when he tried to pull away. She couldn't think when he kissed her like this. This man, this pirate, had stolen her heart, and she didn't want it back. He made her knees go weak, and her legs felt so softened that she was afraid she would sink into a puddle of desire on the floor.

"Adrian," she sighed, and started to un tuck his shirt to run her hands up and down his gorgeous body. Coming free of his pants, his shirt served as no barrier to protect him from her seeking hands. The minute her hands connected to his chest, he let out a low groan. He pushed her down on the bed, which broke her mouth free from his.

Selene immediately felt the loss of his body, and let loose a low moan of unsatisfied lust. But it son turned into a moan of pleasure when he lowered his body onto hers

Adrian lowered his mouth to her neck, and bit her pulse point softly. Selene jerked herself off the bed, bringing in contact her body, and the evidence of his desire. This was a passion he would never had expected from the frigid future queen.

"Darling...," Adrian gasped as he buried his face in the cleavage that was revealed by the button down shirt she had donned.

He inhaled the scent of her that smelled of lavender. And of all woman.

"Yes, Adrian?" Selene asked, her voice husky with passion.

"Forgive me for this,"

Selene felt the cold slap of metal against her wrist, then she heard a click. At that sound the haze of passion cleared from her head to take notice of her surroundings.

Adrian had shackled her right wrist to the bed post!

Adrian moved off of her, and started tucking his white linen shirt back into his black breeches.

"You barbarian!" Selene shrieked. "You fiend! How can you possibly be so heartless?"

He was at the door when he swung around.

"I'm a pirate," he stated simply. "I can do what ever the hell I please,"

Then he walked out, slamming and locking the door behind him.

Adrian leaned against the door, and tried to calm his raging hormones. How could he feel like this about his princess? It just wasn't right!

The men were tying off at the Tortuga dock, so Adrian straightened, adjusted his clothing, and strode across the deck.

It was time to find a wench to quench his desire... and fast before he did something he regretted.

Back inside the Captain's Cabin, Her Royal Majesty smiled. Sometimes having a hair pin was just too good to be true.

The cloying smell of the woman who was pouring his rum assaulted Adrian's nostrils.

"Will there be anything else, sir?" she cooed, the breasts threatening to spill out of her bodice dangled in front of his face.

He would have usually taken her up on such a becoming offer, but he felt strangely unstirred. He smiled at her anyway.

"No, thank you,"

She shrugged her shoulders and moved to the next table.

Adrian looked at his companions.

One was a former naval officer, turned pirate. Another was a privateer in the employ of England.

"Gentleman, I have come to ask your assistance," Adrian started, before the privateer rudely interrupted him.

"Why should we help you?" he sneered. "I don't normally associate myself with pirates,"

"Yet here you sit at a table with two of the very kind?" Adrian asked him, giving a sneer of his own.

The privateer scoffed, and swallowed a big gulp of rum.

Privateers are just legal pirates, Adrian thought bitterly.

"Now, gentleman, we must remain civilized," came a voice from behind Adrian, silky and smooth.

How had she gotten out?

Selene took the vacant chair beside Adrian and sat down, grinning at him.

He smiled and took her hand, then glanced at the men.

"Gentleman, I'm pleased to present to you my wife, Selena Stormwall,"

The men nodded at her, murmuring "Miss,"

"I never thought I'd see the day when you got married Stormwall," the naval officer turned pirate said, grinning showing off his pearly whites.

"What can I say? She's captured my heart," Adrian said, placing an arm around Selene's shoulders.

"Now, gentleman, how about buying a lady a drink?"
