I Will Sail With No Pirate! (mxm)

Chapter 3

"Captain..." The lips against his cheek moved to his ear again before whispering against his skin a second time. "I can kill every single one of them without bothering to lift my blade. Tell them to surrender."

There was no doubt in the man's voice, which only made his own position harder. The paralysis was wearing off, but that would likely only get him one swing before his muscles were once again locked up.

"You're frustrated that I keep freezing you, hmm?"

Grinding his teeth together, Alexandre carefully moved his left hand into his coat pocket. He honestly wished that he'd previously shrugged the thing off to be able to move easier, but given the situation, perhaps the small knife in the breast pocket would be of some use.  As his fingers wrapped around the small parrying knife, he felt the damned blood pirate's hand mirror his own movements, but instead of the knife, he was gripping the fingers he already had wrapped around it.

"That won't do much against me, love."

Enough with the nicknames, and cold day in hell I would ever love a blood beast!

"Such aggressive thoughts. They do not suite such a handsome face."

Did he just...?

The growing smirk on the man's face told him that he had, in fact, read his thoughts.

God help us.

That seemed to get a laugh out of the man as he stepped around to his front and faced him, removing his hand from around Alexandre's in the same movement.

"How about I help your decision along, Captain Jenkins."

Alexandre's eyes narrowed as his body tensed, finally back under his own control again.

"I'll let you have one free attack. Run me through if you wish... but if I do not fall, you will come willingly to my ship."

What was he trying to pull? If I run him through, surely he will die...

With a determined grin Alexandre stepped forward, meeting the other captain's eyes with rejuvenated vigor. There was no possible way for him to survive a sword through the heart. 

His right hand strengthened its grip around the hilt of his blade before he promptly thrust it straight into the blood pirate's chest!

Everything went silent except for the beginnings of a storm brewing overhead, giving off ominous booms of thunder every few moments. Alexandre doubted that a single one of his crew even noticed the rumbling noises, though. They were all too focused on what was going on and openly staring at the blood pirate's chest... and lack of blood dripping from where his blade had penetrated straight through.

He... isn't bleeding. 

The look of sheer terror on the human's handsome face was perfect... though that beard still needed to go. Either way, he smirked and stepped forward, letting the sword push farther into his chest without much worry. It hurt a little, but after so many years, pain just didn't bother one any longer.

"Now then, I believe we had a deal."

Alexandre's face fell, as if he had just realized that he now belonged to him. 

With a light chuckle the blood pirate captain reached up and placed his clawed hand on his shoulder, squeezing harder then necessary.

"Do not worry, I take good care of my pets."
